As per Hindu mythology, the Sun god is travelling in the sky on a chariot pulled by seven horses. After pulling the chariot for a long time, the six horses are tired. It is the seventh horse who remains and continues to pull the chariot signifying it to be the horse of dreams and aspirations for the future. In 1952, Dr Dharamvir Bharati published his novella, ‘Suraj Ka Saatvan Ghoda’. I read the novella in full which is available online. The novella is written in narration style in which the protagonist, Manik Mulla narrates to his three friends, three separate romance stories relating to three girls. What is of interest is that Manik Mulla is not only the narrator of the stories, but he is also the characters in all the three stories who loves these three girls at different points of time in his life. As Agyeya said in his foreword to the novella, ‘Suraj Ka Saatvan Ghoda’ is not the one story comprising three stories, but three stories constituting one story. The author, in his introduction, has revealed that during his early period of writing, he was influenced by Marxist objectives rather than hardcore Marxism. In this novella, some indications of that objectives can be inferred. The full novella in Hindi can be read here.

The first social drama TV serial (also called soap operas) on Doordarshan was ‘Humlog’ (1984). The huge success of this TV serial prompted other producers to come out with soap operas which needed to be telecasted only on Doordarshan as no private TV channels were in operation at that time. They had to find the free slots on Doordarshan which became difficult as years passed. Doordarshan generally accepted the TV serials ranging from 13, 26 and at most 52 episodes with few exceptions. The restriction of the number of episodes meant that more number of TV Serial makers could be accommodated apart from ensuring the TV serials were not unnecessarily stretched at the cost of their qualitative contents.

So, films in the genre of ‘action/adventure’ becomes one of favorites of many film producing studios. Vijay Bhatt of Prakash Pictures also fell in line and made action/fantasy films around mid-1930s.

While doing preparatory work for the article on the film ‘Dahek’ (1999), I came across a few names of the films where the lovers commit suicide/or get killed as their parents/society were against their relationship. One of such films was ‘Ek Baar Chale Aao’ (1983), about which I was not aware of. Probably, the film may have received a lukewarm response from the cinema audience. The film had Farooque Shaikh and Deepti Naval in the lead roles. I have watched them in ‘Chasme Baddoor’ (1981), ‘Saath Saath’ (1982) and ‘Katha’ (1983). They had also worked together in films like’ Rang-Birangi’ (1983), ‘Kisi Se Na Kahna’ (1983) etc. With these films, they had become one of the popular lead pairs in Hindi films in the 1980s. Then, how is that the film under discussion was almost forgotten? I got the answer by watching the film.
