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.

The main languages spoken in Bihar is Bhojpuri, Maithili and Magahi (Magadhi). Bhojpuri is spoken mainly in Western Bihar, spilling over to Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Western Jharkhand. In addition, Bhojpuri is also spoken in some parts of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and the Tarai region of Nepal. Maithili is spoken mainly in North Bihar, North-Eastern Jharkhand and the Eastern Tarai region of Nepal. Magahi is spoken mainly in Southern Bihar and some part of North Jharkhand. The question arises as to why the film producers prefer making films predominantly in Bhojpuri. According to 2011 Census, among the three main languages, Bhojpuri is spoken by the largest number of people (5.06 crore) followed by Maithili (1.34 crore) and Magahi (1.27 crore). There are a large number of Bhojpuri speaking people who have migrated all over India. This should explain as to why among the three languages, the highest number of films have been made in Bhojpuri language.
