‘Aawaaraa Baadal’ (1964) was produced by Kailash Kapur and J P Sehgal under the banner of Amarjyot Films. There is some confusion as to who had directed the film – Kedar Kapoor or B R Ishara. Film’s poster has the name of Kedar Kapoor as director while IMDb and a few other websites mention the name of B R Ishara as the director. Film’s credit title does not mention the name of Kidar Kapoor but it mentions ‘dialogues written and directed by B R Ishara’. There may be some story behind this confusion. The cast included Ajit, Ragini, Indira Billi, Ramayan Tiwari, Jagdish Sethi, Leela Mishra, Niranjan Sharma, Mridula, Iftikhar, Dhumal, Indira Bansal, Tuntun, Sujata, Helen etc.

The cast included Jairaj, Chitra, Mohan Sheri, Shaikh, Tuntun, Paul Sharma, Jilani, King Kong, Goldstein etc. Azad, Sundar and Indira Bansal made guest appearances in the film.

I find Hindi films with a broader genre of road trips (or journey in any mode) quite interesting. In such films, events happen during the journeys which usually culminate into sub-genres such as romance, comedy, social drama, suspense thriller etc. In this broad category, I have watched films like ‘Nau Do Gyaarah’ (1957), ‘Caravan’ (1971), ‘Bombay To Goa’ (1972), ‘Dil Hai Ki Maanta Naheen’ (1991),‘Dil Chaahta Hai’ (2001), ‘Jab We Met’ (2007), ‘Zindagi Na Milengi Dobaara’ (2011), ‘Finding Fanny’ (2014), ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ (2015), ‘Piku’ (2015), ‘Dhanak’ (2015), ‘Qareeb Qareeb Single’ (2017) and many more. ‘Kaarwaan’ (2018) is my recent addition in watching films in the genre of road trips.

In this article, I have picked up for discussion Gautam Ghosh’s film, ‘Yaatra’ (2007) which comes under the ambit of the parallel cinema. The meaning of the film’s title in the context of the story is ‘transition journey’. This is a complicated film. The audience is likely to get confused as to how much of the story in a novel narrated by the protogonist is real and fictional when he narrates the story to a fellow traveller, an upcoming film-maker. Some parts of the story are autobiographical in nature while some are creative imaginations and thus fictional in nature. The transition from fiction to fact in the novel is so blurred that the upcoming film-maker gets confused. In the end, the film-maker decides to give his own perspective of the story in his screenplay when he decides to make the film based on the novel.

Autism is a neurobehavioural disorder in which the affected people’s brain works differently than those of the normal people. In India, one child out of 68 newly born children is affected by autism. Since autism is not an illness or disease, parents will not come to know whether their child is affected by autism until he grows and they notice a different behaviour pattern than that of a normal child. It is difficult for a autism affected child to properly communicate with others and to understand what other people think about him. It is still unknown as to what causes autism. Nor is there any cure for it.

In my last article on the Blog, I had discussed the film, ‘Birbal My Brother’ (1973) with a Hindustani classical bandish, ‘rang raliyaan karat sautan ke sang’, rendered by Pandit Bhimsen Joshi and Pandit Jasraj as jugalbandi in Raag Malkauns. In this article, I am presenting the same bandish rendered in Raag Malkauns by Asha Bhosle as a ‘filmy song’ without much of ornamentations. This one was from the film, ‘Khwaahish’ (2003) which was produced by Vivek Nayak under the banner of Perry Pictures and was directed by the debutant Govind Menon. The cast included Himanshu Malik, Mallika Sherawat, Shivaji Satam, Amrita Sathbai, Shahbaz Khan, Mahamud Babai etc. This was Mallika Sherawat’s first film in a lead role. The film was based on an English novel, ‘Love Story’ (1970) by Eric Segal, customised to the Indian setting.
