Moving ahead with the series on Asha Bhosle singing for actresses whose first names begin with the letter “A”, we come to Ayesha Julka.

Ayesha Julka is another actress whose father served in the Armed Forces. She made her acting debut in the Telugu film Neti Siddhartha (1990). She then entered Hindi cinema with Kurbaan (1991), opposite Salman Khan. The film is said to have been a success, but I cannot remember much about it. The first film in which I noticed her, and which I long considered to be her debut, was Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992).

‘Sharaafat Chhod Dee Maine’ (1976) was produced by Damodaran Menon, VM Shah and Jagdev Bhambri and was directed by Jagdev Bhambri. The cast included Hema Malini, Feroz Khan, Neetu Singh, Jagdeep, Abhi Bhattacharya, Manmohan Krishna, Helen, Manju, Shera, Baby Madhu Malini, Mulchand, Yasmin, Jugal etc with special appearances of Bindu, Padma Khanna, Jayshree T, Faryal, Dev Kumar, Dheeraj, Tabrez, Jagdev Bhambri, Arpana Chaudhary and Laxmi Chhaya among others. Hema Malini had a double role of two sisters in the film.

The film was presented by Hema Pictures which gives the impression that Hema Malini was indirectly involved in the making of the film. Hema Malini’s niece, Madhoo made her debut in the film as Baby Madhu Malini. One of the highlights of the film was that the prominent dancers of that time, Helen, Padma Khanna, Laxmi Chhaya, Jayshree T. Bindu and Faryal, appeared in the film. Of course, there were dances of Hema Malini and Neetu Singh as well.

‘Kal Kee Aawaaz’ (1992) was jointly produced and directed by B R Chopra and Ravi Chopra. The cast included Dharmendra, Raj Babbar, Amrita Singh, Neena Gupta, Fareeda Jalal, Pratibha Sinha, Rohit Bhatia (Debutant), Gufi Paintal, Girija Shankar, Puneet Issar, Arjun etc. This was the last film directed by B R Chopra. It appears that the film was a sequel to B R Chopra’s film, ‘Aaj Kee Aawaaz’ (1984). It is said that the film’s story was inspired from the kidnapping of the then Home Minister, Mufti Sayeed’s daughter, Rubaiya Sayeed.

The main theme of ‘Aaj Ki Aawaaz’ (1984) was the citizens facing the problem from the corrupt system due to the nexus of politicians- criminals-police. A victim of such a system decides to be a vigilante justice giver when the law enforcing agencies fails to protect him. On the other hand, the theme of the film under discussion is the growing menace of kidnapping of children and teenagers from the wealthy family by anti-social elements for ransom as a part of getting easy money. The film also discusses the issues and problems faced by the law enforcing agencies as well the police-criminal nexus. This film was not as successful as ‘Aaj Ki Aawaaz’ (1984).
