“Ye Vaada Raha”(1982) was a very popular movie with the teenagers of those days, but apparently the grown up section of the population did not like the movie much and so the movie received a lukewarm response at the box office. Personally I was barely aware of this movie and I did not watch it seeing that I only watched Amitabh Bachchan movies those days.

“Ye Vaada Raha”(1982) was produced by Ramesh Bahl and directed by Kapil Kapoor for Rose movies, Bombay. This “social” movie had Rishi Kapoor, Tina Munim, Poonam Dhillon, Sarika, Rakhi, Rakesh Bedi, Ifthikar, Agha, Sunder, Gulshan Bawra, Hari Shivdasani, Chandu Prakash, Madan Joshi, Shrimati Mistri, Prasad, Pappu, Geeta, Aditya, Shanta, Salma, Asha, Avinash Thakur etc in it. Shammi Kapoor had played a special role in this movie.

There has been very few Hindi films produced with the main theme of Indian classical dances. As far as I know, the first Hindi film with Indian classical dances as the main theme was Uday Shankar’s ‘Kalpana’ (1948) in which his wife, Amla Shankar was in the lead role of a classical dancer. This was followed by V Shantaram’s ‘Jhanak Jhanak Paayal Baaje’ (1955) in which his then future wife, Sandhya was in the lead role of a classical dancer along the Gopikrishna. Another Hindi film I remember is ‘Naache Mayuri’ (1986) which was more like a biographical film on the classical dancer, Sudha Chandran who lost her leg but continued her dancing career after lot of efforts. In this film, Sudha Chandran acted as herself.

There may be a few more films with the omnibus dance theme. I was aware of the film, ‘Paayal Ki Jhankaar, (1980) but, until recently, I did not know that this film was also made with the main theme of Indian classical dances. Perhaps, my mind about this film may have been prejudiced by another film with the same name released in 1968.

Hullo Atuldom

2025 marks the 51st year in the entertainment industry for Shabana Azmi, not counting films that she may have been associated with during her training at FTII. Her ‘Parinay’ released on 1st January 1974; her debut film Shyam Benegal’s “Ankur’ is also a 1974 film. The last film starring Shabana Azmi came in 2023, actually there were two ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ & ‘Ghoomer’- I have seen both and as usual Shabana Azmi (the actor) cannot be missed. There is an upcoming film ‘Lahore 1947’ set against the backdrop of partition of India.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

The song under discussion is from the movie ‘Gopaal Krishna-1979’. I have no recollections of watching this movie during my growing up years when this movie was released.

‘Gopal Krishna-1979’ was a mythological movie. It was directed by Vijay Sharma for Rajshree Picutres, Bombay and it was passed by the Censor Board on 23.06.1979.

The cast of this movie included Sachin, Zareena Wahab, Manhar Desai, Master Sandeep, Rita Bhaduri, Jeevan, Dev Kumar, Jairaj, Surendra Kumar, Mahipal, Shahu Modak, Rajan Haksar, Satyajit, Sunder, Keerti Kumar, Brahmachari, Kundan Kumar, Viju Khote, Birbal, Nandlal Sharma, Balwant Bansal, Polsan, Brijendra Mohan, Pardesi, Nandita Thakur, Shobha Khote, Sashi Saxena, Asha Potdar and others.

‘Imaandaar’ (1987) was produced by Surendra Pal Chaudhary and Sarla Sandhu and was directed by Sushil Malik. The cast included Sanjay Dutt and Farah Naaz in the lead roles supported by Pran, Sumeet Saigal, Satyen Kappu, Vikas Anand, Rohan Kapoor, Ranjeet, Mehmood, Om Prakash, Birbal, Chandrashekhar, Sudhir Dalvi, Dinesh Hingoo, Shammi, Shashi Kiran, Mehmood Jr., Ram Sethi, Subbiraj etc.

The film was a Prakash Mehra presentation which indicates as to who was behind this film. Sushil Malik, the director of the film was Prakash Mehra’s assistant director. The film’s producer, Surendra Pal Chaudhary was one of the partners of Prakash Mehra Productions. Another connection of this film with Prakash Mehra is his trademark film story revolving around a homeless, abandoned and orphaned lead actor, like in ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’ (1978), ‘Jwaalaamukhi’ (1980), ‘Laawaaris’ (1981), ‘Sharaabi’ (1984) etc. In a way, Prakash Mehra was replicating his own story who was an orphan child having lost his mother and thereafter his father abandoning him when he was 8 year of age.

Today’s song is from an obscure film of the Golden Era – Sahil-1959.

Personally, I had never heard of this film. Though after Tumsa Nahi Dekha-1957, Shammi Kapoor had changed his looks – by removing his mustache, which never suited him – and style of acting, somehow this film never appealed to the viewers. I don’t even remember when it was in the theatres ! While going through the HFGK, I found the reason. It seems the film was made in 1955/56 and even the songs were recorded in 1954/55. For unknown reasons the film was censored on 8-4-1959 and was finally released in October 1959.

Since this film belonged to the period of Shammi Kapoor’s old style- with mustache – and by 1959-60 he was on a success ride, no one wanted to see this film. As such there was nothing notable in this film. The story was weak,the starcast was ordinary and the songs were not good enough to attract the audience. So the film flopped and disappeared from the theatres quickly.

‘Solvaan Saawan’ (1978) was produced by A.S.R. Anjaneyulu and was directed by Bharthi Rajaa. The cast included Amol Palekar, Sridevi, Adil Amaan, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Sajjan, Madhukar, Deena Pathak, Savita Bajaj, Vijayalakshmi, Rajeshwari etc. The film was Bharathi Rajaa’s first foray in Hindi films as a director. This was Sridevi’s first Hindi film in a lead role. The film was entirely shot in Jharkhand in a month’s time in rural region. Hence, it was decided to write dialogues with a mix of Hindi and Bhojpuri languages. The film got a very limited theatrical release on January 22, 1979.
