‘Nazar Andaaz’ (2022) is produced by T Series and Kathputli Productions and is directed by the debutant Vikrant Deshmukh. The main cast includes Kumud Mishra in a protagonist’s role of a visually impaired person with Divya Dutta and Abhishek Banerjee. Rajeshwari Sachdev makes a special appearance in the film. The outdoor shooting of the film took place in Mumbai and in Kutch (Gujarat). The film was released on October 7, 2022, in a very limited theatres without any marketing. In Mumbai, the film was released in two theatres only and that too the single show. Because of this, the film went largely unnoticed. After a month or so, the film was released on the OTT platforms. I watched the film on the OTT platform.

I was hesitant to watch the film after knowing that it was about a visually impaired man. It is distressing to watch the hard and the struggling life a visually impaired person. But a song of this film compelled me to watch this film. I was pleasantly surprised that the visually impaired man in the film was a ‘happy go lucky’ person who was smart, humourous and romantic. His life’s motto was ‘zindagi khoobsoorat hai, farak sirf nazariye kaa hai’ (Life is beautiful, the only difference is how you look at it). It is an off-beat film of light comedy genre with a message. The film’s story is as under:

Sudhir (Kumud Mishra) is a middle-aged visually impaired person since his birth. He has been brought up by an artist who after his death has bequeathed all his wealth to Sudhir who now lives in a comfortable house in Mumbai. His housemaid, Bhavani (Divya Dutta) had come to him for work after running away from her home in Haryana because of the ill-treatment from her stepmother. Sudhir thinks that she is cooking food for him as per his choice. The fact is that she orders food on-line for delivery at home.

One day, Sudhir rescues a petty thief (Abhijit Banerjee) from the crowd when he is caught stealing a mobile phone. He brings the thief to his home and gives him a job and shelter in his house on the assurance that he gives up thievish work. Since the thief does not have any fixed name, Sudhir gives him a new name, Ali. Both Bhavani and Ali treat themselves as competitor and try their best to outsmart each other. The reason is that both have set their eyes on Sudhir’s wealth after they secretly overhear his talks with a lawyer to prepared a Will with two names as beneficiaries. Since, Sudhir has no one as successor to his wealth, Bhavani and Ali think that they are the two whose names would be in the Will.

Sudhir plans a visit to Mandvi to recall his childhood days. Bhavani and Ali join him. After check-in a hotel, Sudhir takes Bhavani and Ali to his friend, Mohan’s house. Mohini (Rajeshwari Sachdev), his crush in his childhood, opens the door and is shocked to find Sudhir who is visiting after decades. Mohan also comes out and welcomes the visitors. Mohini prepares Khandvi, a Gujarati snack which is the favourite of Sudhir and serves him and his friends. In the evening, all the three visit a river front and enjoy the evening. After Bhavani and Ali have left for a walk, Sudhir sits alone as he is not in a mood to walk, At that time, Mohini visits him and angrily asks him as to why he had left her without a trace for so many years. He could have taken her also with him. Sudhir tells her that there is a difference between giving a company to one antoher and spending a whole life with one another.

The next day, Sudhir takes Bhavani and Ali to his house which is now in shambles. He tells them that from the childhood, he wanted to run but could not run even a few feet. Thereafter, they visit beach, take camel rides and even take plunge in the sea. Sudhir says that he is very happy that whatever he wanted to do in his life has been fulfilled. Ali says that he has to do one more thing. In the evening, they take him to Rann of Kutch where he can run to fulfil his desire. They walk on the Rann of Kutch and both of them tell Sudhir to run as much as he wants as there is no one except the three of them. He happily starts running, enjoying for the first time that he has run so much. However, after some time, he falls down. Both Ali and Bhavani rush towards Sudhir and tries to make him sit but in vain as he has died of heart attack. Both pleads to Sudhir to wake up. They do not want any wealth from him but want to see him as a simple Sudhir Bhai.

Both Bhavani and Ali return to Mumbai. Sudhir’s lawyer takes them in his car and reads Sudhir’s Will while proceeding to their destination. Sudhir says in the Will that he has brought both Bhavani and Ali to his house with a well-thought purpose. He has observed them in close quarter in his journey. Whatever the world may say about them, he has come to the conclusion that both have skills, abilities and humanity. So, he has given them an opportunity to serve the visually impaired children by bequeathing his wealth and property to a blind school. He has requested Bhavani and Ali to look after them in the same way as they have looked after him. The film ends with both of them hugging the visually impaired children with moist eyes signifying that Bhavani and Ali would fulfill his desire.

After a long time, I get to watch a realistic film which is absorbing thanks to its tight screenplay and dialogues which, at times, are witty, philosophical and motivational. All the four main actors – Kumud Mishra, Divya Dutta, Abhishek Banerjee and Rajeshwari Sachdev have given their best performances in the film. But top credit goes to Kumud Mishra who, in the role of a visually impaired Sudhir, has given a brilliant and heart-touching performance. That Sudhir’s face lingered in my mind for quite a long time after I finished watching film is the testimony of his realistic performance. In my view, Kumud Mishra role was worthy of a National Film Award.

The film is also a feather in the cap of the debutant director, Vikrant Deshmukh who has well-handled a sensitive story written by him jointly with Laxman Utekar. The last about 15 minutes of the film covering pre-climax and climax scenes are heart-touching. Unfortunately, the film flopped and it has almost become an ‘obscure film’ within a year of its release.

The icing on the cake is that all the six songs in the film are very melodious and to my liking. Kudos to the lyricist, Raj Shekhar and the music director, Vishal Mishra for composing one of the finest albums of the recent films.

I am presenting the first song from the film whose audio clips were released as two songs with the same tune and different lyrics. The song is ‘aaj kal aisaa lagtaa hai’/’ikk aadhi kahaani thhee’, rendered by Parampara Tandon/Jubin Nautiyal. The songs are written by Raj Shekhar which are set to music by Vishal Mishra.

In the film, only one stanza each of both the songs have been picturised and appear one after another. The video clips of both these songs released by T Series contain the actual song picturisation of the first stanza with additional stanzas of the songs being covered by video montages from the film relevant to the songs.

There is an interesting background to this song. Mohini (Rajehswari Sachdev) meets Sudhir who is sitting at the river front, and angrily asks Sudhir (Kumud Mishra) as to why he had suddenly left his house for Mumbai leaving her alone. Sudhir replies ‘ek doosre kaa saath dena aur ek doosre ke saath zindagi bhar bitaanaa, donon mein farq hotaa hai‘. In other words, Sudhir felt about their relationwhip what Sahir Ludhianvi had said – ‘wo afsaana jise anjaam tak laanaa na ho mumkin, usse ikk khoobsoorat mod de kar chhodnas achchaa‘. Just to divert the subject, Sudhir remembers that Mohini used to sing in her childhood and asks her whether she still sings. She responds by singing this song after which she goes back home. Sudhir, now alone, continues singing the song in the same tune. This is a piognant song highlighting the status of their short-lived romance. But they console themselves because ‘tum kabhi mere thhe bas ye bhi gawaaraa hai‘ (gawaaraa=acceptable).

The piognancy in the lyrics of Raj Shekhar in the song have been well captured by the singers, Prampara Tandon and Jubin Nautiyal with the soft piano orchestration. I am happy that in the current styles of Hindi film music in vogue, songs like the one under discussion also find place in Hindi films.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————–—-

The song under discussion song is from the ‘1973’ movie ‘Maa Behan Aur Beewee’.

It is a multiple version song sung by Mohd Rafi and Sharda.

Today 24^th December’2023 is the ninety-ninth birth anniversary of the legendary singer – ‘divine voice’ – Mohd Rafi. He was born on 24^th December’1923 and he passed away on 31^st July’1980.

We are all aware of Mohd Rafi as a ‘great singer’ and a ‘great human being’. Much has already been written about him on this blog and in print and digital media. So I will not repeat the same again today in this article here.

From my side as a tribute to Mohd Rafi I am presenting this song which was requested by our dear Dr Pradeep Shetty ji and it is lying with us for several months. Doctor Saab was supposed to present this song here, but he couldn’t do it due to some reasons.

As per our blog statistics the total song tally of Mohd Rafi is mentioned as ‘4846’ songs. We have so far covered 3293 songs on the blog out of these 4846 songs. It means we still have 1553 songs yet to be posted on the blog. I am not aware whether all the remaining songs are available. It is possible that we may have lost some songs or they may not be available currently. There are many non-film songs sung by him as well. So, it is still a long way to go to have all Rafi Saab songs (from films at least) on this wonderful blog.

The movie of the song under discussion, viz. “Maa Behan Aur Beewee-1973” was directed by Harbans Kumar for ‘Global Films, Bombay’. It had Kabir Bedi, Prema Narayan, Raj Kishore, Jankidas, Sushma, Renu, Samar Deep, Tuntun, Jugal Kishore, Kaushal Raj, Chanda, Moolchand, Eliot Sampson, James Bond, Narmada Shankar, Fatima Rizvi, Raj Kaul, Feroza Damaniya, Thakur Chhabda, Rajesh Mekin, Hangama, Fazal Khan, Master Shaka, Shetty and others. David, Anjana Mumtaz and Tabassum had a special appearance in this movie.

I have not watched this movie or read about it, so I can’t say anything about today’s movie in this article. This song is composed by Sharda and lyrics are written by Qamar Jalalabadi-Vedpal Verma. Geet Kosh has mentioned the name of these two lyricists for all the songs of this movie. From my side I have tried to compile the list of movies where music is composed by Sharda and the number of Rafi songs therein. I would like to present this list as given below. The today’s movie was the first movie of Singer Sharda (1933-2023) as a ‘music-director’.

SNo	Title of the Movie/Year	Director	Songs in the movie	Rafi Solo	Rafi Duets/ song with more than two singers
01	Maa Behan Beewee/1973	Harbans Kumar	06	1	0
02	Gharibi Hataao/1973	R.K. Middha	06	1	0
03	Kshitij/1974	Prem Kapoor	04	0	1
04	Zamaane Se Poochho/1976	Abrar	07	1	1
05	Mandir Masjid/1977	Mohd Hussain	05	1	2
06	Zehreelee/1977	V.N. Reddy	03	0	1
07	Hazaar Haath/1978	Rajdeep	06	0	1
08	Tu Meri Main Tera/1980	Kewal Mishra	05	5	1
09	Mailaa Aanchal/1981	Surendra S. Kapoor	07	1	0
TOTAL NO OF SONGS			49	10	7

From the above table we can see that the voice of Mohd Rafi featured in 17 songs out of 49 songs composed by Singer-Composer Sharda.
Mohd Rafi was nominated for the ‘Best Playback Singer –Male’ for this song sung by him. (That year, it was Mahendra Kapoor who won this award for ‘Roti Kapada Aur Makaan’).

This song (both version) is played in the background. We can see Kabir Bedi, Prema Narayan and two others (whom I unable to identify) present in the picturisation of this song. While in the picturisation of the female version of this song we can see Anjana Mumtaz, Kabir Bedi and Prema Narayan in the present there.

The lyrics of this song are quite meaningful and it is a nice song to listen to. One song from this movie “Maa Behan Beewee” has been posted on the blog earlier. This song is the second song from this movie to be presented on this blog.

Let us now listen to the song and watch its picturisation …

Hullo Atuldom

Song	Movie (year)	Remarks
Man prem ki jyot jala sajni	(Anaath Ashram)(1937)
Yoonhi huye badnaam sanwariya	(Subah Ka taara)(1954)	Post by Sadanand Kamath
Maa ne bheja dhor chalaane	(Neelkamal)(1947)	Lyrics by Nitin Shah
Chamkke paseena ban ke nageena	(Reshami Ki Dori)(1974)	Lyrics by Avinash Scarpwala. Dharmendra’s 78^th birthday

The above is not an attempt at any ‘Blog-Ten Year Challenge’. I was just looking up to see what were the films that appeared on the blog on that day ten years ago(8 december 2013) and the “YYIIPPEEEE” status of those movies.

Movie (Year)	Songs status of the movie
Anaath Asharam(1937)	3 songs out of 15
Subah Ka Taara(1954)	yyiippeeeed
Neel Kamal( 1947)	yyiippeeeed
Resham Ki Dori(1974)	3 songs out of 6

Recently, the blog touched 18100. In that post, Atulji pointed out that in the 79 days between post number 18000 & 18100 my small contribution was 16 posts. That means 16 songs in 12 weeks. And I was surprised that it is a case of some week having more than one song; this must have happened in the month of October when a few of my favourite heroes, heroines & singers had their birthdays & death anniversaries. But one thing is for sure, the frequency of my writing is erratic and I don’t know what excuses to offer. But here is taking fresh guard after my last, which was my 600^th post.

“Gehri Chot” (1983) was initially released with the title “Door Desh” in March 1983 (as per some sites on the internet). The YouTube link for the film shows date of certificate issue as 30-11-1983; that confuses me further- how can the film release before getting a censor certificate.

On researching a little in the KNOWLEDGE BOX that the blog has become I found “Paanch Dushman” (1973) to be an almost similar case i.e. it was re-released with the title “Daulat Ke Dushman” in 1981. The reasons for the two title-changed re-release may be different but they may make an interesting case study.

Shall call the film “Door Desh”, as mentioned in the censor certificate, and the titles of the film starts as ‘Gehri Chot’ urf ‘Door Desh’. The film is listed on IMDB as an action-crime-drama & was an Indian- Canadian film directed by Ambrish Sangal; who was an assistant to J. Om Prakash during ‘Aya Sawan Jhoom Ke’ ; ‘Aan Milo Sajna’ etc. & later went on to make ‘Aatish’; ‘Aap toh aise na the’; ‘Dard’; ‘Suraag’ etc.

“Door Desh” had Shashi Kapoor, Sharmila Tagore, Raj Babbar, Parveen Babi, Nadeem Baig, Bobita (not to be confused with the Kapoor bahu Babita), David Abraham (in one of his last roles, he had already retired & settled in Canada by then) etc.

Bobita (Farida Akhtar Poppy) was an award winning Bangaldeshi actress, from her filmography it is evident that she has been active till 2015 as actress & is also a producer. Nadeem Baig (Mirza Nazeer Baig) is a Pakistani actor, singer, & producer regarded as the best all-time Pakistani actor in Heroic roles, and he is still working in films & television. “Door Desh” opens with a dedication to David Abraham who had died on 2nd January 1982, i.e. before the film released.

Usha Khanna was the music director & Indeevar the lyricist. Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Usha Mangeshkar, Chandrani Mukherjee, Yesudas, Anwar & Usha Khanna (herself). Story -screenplay- dialogue was by Suraj Sanim.
The film was the story of an NRI (Shashi Kapoor) from Toronto who comes to India to marry a traditional Indian woman (Sharmila Tagore). The film then goes on to the adjustment problems the couple face & their separation after the birth of their kids- the son (Raj Babbar on growing up)goes back to India with the mother & daughter (Bobita) stays with the father. The family comes together 20 years later when there is a crisis, as the daughter has been kidnapped. The mother comes with the son to help trace the daughter.

Sharmila Tagore, whose birthday is on 8^th December, made her debut in films through Bengali films in 1959. Her first Hindi film was in 1964 ‘Kashmir Ki Kali’ with Shammi Kapoor as her hero. 1965 was the first time she was paired with Shashi Kapoor, in B.R. Film’s ‘Waqt’.

The two of them were seen in 11 movies after that :-
Aamne Saamne (1967), Suhana Safar (1970), My Love (1970), Aa Gale Lag Jaa (1973), Paap Aur Punya (1974), Anari (1975), Gehri Chot urf Door Desh (1983), New Delhi Times, Maa Beti, Swati (all in 1986), Hum Toh Chale Pardes (1988).

Shashi Kapoor stopped acting in films sometime in the 1980s, but he did direct ‘Ajooba’ in 1990. He was seen in two Merchant-Ivory films in 1993 & 1998 and a British-Pakistani film, also in 1998. He died on 4^th December 2017 due to liver & heart complications.

Thinking of the sweet & charming Shashi Kapoor today. Also wishing Sharmila Tagore all happiness & good health on her special day.

Chup chaap karte hain baaten jab teree ye khaamoshiyaan

‘Chhal’ (2002) was produced under the banner of Ishaan Films and was directed by Hansal Mehta. The cast included Kay Kay Menon and Jaya Seal in the lead roles with the supporting cast of Naved Aslam, Shrivallabh Vyas, Prashant Narayanan, Apurva Asrani, Manoj Mishra, Anil Chaudhary, Arash, Preeti Koppikar, Shailendra Srivastav, Sanjeev Jha, Abhijeet Lahiri, Sanjay Mishra, Makarand Deshpande etc. It was a debut Hindi film for Jaya Seal and the second Hindi film for Kay Kay Menon, Naved Aslam and Prashant Narayanan. It was Hansal Mehta’s second film as a director. So, it was an important film for these artists for furthering their filmy career.

The film is a gangster movie of the lines of some films of this genre like ‘Satya’ (1998) and ‘Company’ (2002). Broadly, it is a story of a cop (Kay Kay Menon) who gets infiltrated into a gang led by a Don (Shrivallabh Vyas) as a goon to get important information and evidence against the Don and his Deputy to effectively prosecute them. With the passage of time, the cop becomes an important part of the gang. He passes on the important information to police chief (Naved Islam) including the plan of the Don to shift to Malaysia leaving his Deputy, Girish (Prashant Narayanan), a hit man of the gang, to take charge of Mumbai region.

With the period of time, the undercover cop gets emotionally attached to gang members. He also falls in love with Girish’s sister (Jaya Seal) whom he had saved from the abduction by a rival gang. Now the Don and his deputy trust under-cover cop more than his police chief who fears that the cop may become a rogue under-cover. Later, the undercover cop realises that he has become a pawn in the fight between the Don and the police department and within the gang itself as Don wants to make the undercover cop as his successor by eliminating Girish, his prospective brother-in-law. More importantly, now the political boss wants to call off the mission to nab the don. The film’s end is sarcastic with Makarand Deshpande appearing in a cameo role of a new under-cover cop to nab the Don.

I have watched a pirated version of the film with less than average quality of video. The film gives a glimpse of a fast-paced suspense thriller. The scenes are well executed with tight editing and close ups. The performances of all the important characters – Kay Kay Menon, Prashant Narayanan, Shrivallabh Vyas and Naved Aslam are excellent. Jaya Seal has limited presence in the film as can be expected in a gangster film. Her love angle with the undercover cop seems to give some respite to the audience from crime and violence to the emotional turmoil. The climax of the film, which I have deliberately not discussed above, is well handled to retain the suspense until the last.

There are a couple of emotionally charged scenes which depict the unenviable position of the under-cover cop. The first is with his boss in police during which both of them have heated arguments about his love affair with the Girish’s sister. He also seeks the answer from his boss as to what he is supposed to do if the police fires at him thinking that he is a gang member. His boss has no answer. The second scene is between the under-cover cop and Girish whom he faces after the latter comes to know about his sister’s love affair with the cop. The scene becomes an anti-climax when, rather than a scene of confrontation, Girish is quite happy about his sister’s choice.

The negative point about the film is that there are couple of songs which work as a speed breaker to the fast-paced progress of the story. These songs appear like item numbers, probably added at the insistence the film’s distributor. Only the title song of the film is appropriate to the theme of the film.

The film has 5 songs including a second version song written by debutant Amitabh Verma and set to music by Viju Shah. I am presenting the first song, ‘chup chaap karten hain baaten’ from the film to appear on the Blog. The song has female and male versions rendered by Sadhana Sargam and Shaan separately. While video clip of the female version of the song is available, I did not find the picturisation of the male version of the song in the film. Probably, it may have have been edited out in the final print.

The female version of the song is picturised on Kay Kay Menon and Jaya Seal as a background song when their love affair is blossoming. In a couple of scenes, Jaya Seal is also seen with Prashant Narayanan who, apart from a hit man of the gang is also her brother in the film. Jaya Seal-Ghosh, is a Bharatnatyam dancer and an actress from Assam. She is an alumnus of NSD and has acted in Hindi, Assamese, Bangla, Odiya, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada films as well as TV serials among others.

Interestingly, there is a verse in the song, ‘khushbuyen aati hain ab mere sapnon se‘ which reminds me of Gulzarian type of imagery in the song, ‘hamne dekhi hai un aankhon ki mehkati khushbu‘ from ‘Khamoshi’ (1969).

Hullo atuldom

Wishing the Dream Girl of the 1970s, 1980s,1990s a very happy birthday. She is still so dainty, graceful & I shall not use the cliché word “Beautiful”- there is no debate about that.

She has been a favourite of the public through her career – a personal favorite ever since I saw her singing “zindagi ek safar” to her tiny son. Her Geeta in “Seeta aur Geeta” just entrenched her in my head. She followed it up with ‘Basanti’ & my love for her has never dried up.

My tryst with Bollywood began with The Dream Girl and then the other beauties of the industry got added to my file of favourites; but Dream Girl is Dream girl- no two ways about that.

16^th October is the date for which I make an attempt to write a post. And I have the usual dilemma- too many options to choose from. My general habit- I try to find anything connected with the debut of the artist. Our Dream Girl is a producer/director in addition to being a classical dancer & actress. Actually it is the other way round- she was first a dancer, then an actress then she turned a producer / director.

She was the unofficial producer of “Sharara”(1984) – almost her debut as producer. R. J. Chakravarti (her brother) was the producer & S. V. Rajendra Singh Babu (I think he was associated with telugu and/or Kannada films) was the director. The songs of the film were written by Anand Bakshi & Laxmikant- Pyarelal used only 3 singers Asha Bhonsle Lata Mangeshkar & Suresh Wadkar.

This was a production for which she is said to have first approached Dharmendra for playing the lead (as quoted in magazines of those times) but ended up having Raaj Kumar (8th October 1926- 3rd July 1996) playing the central character of Dharam Veer Singh Pathan. Shatrughan Sinha, Tina Munim, Kadar Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Ranjeet, Tom Alter, Bob Christo, Asrani, Ramesh Deo, Dina Pathak, Kalpana Iyer, were the other actors in the film. Vijendra Ghatge, Mithun Chakravarti were in guest appearances. The film had an armed forces & espionage based story.

Our Dream Girl (do I need to mention who I am referring to) played a double role of Chandni (Champavati) & Madhu.

The film was given an “A” certificate at the time of its release, hence I was not allowed to see it but there was a Lata Mangeshkar solo which was a party song that was heard often on the Radio, I may have seen it only once in my life. I think it is a multi-part song.

Presenting a song from “Sharara” (1984) in the voice of a “nightingale” on our “Dream Girl”. Wishing Hema Malini all health & happiness with friends & family.

#the Decade of 2001–2010 #
—————————————————

(“Great Dreams of Great Dreamers are always transcendent” – APJ Abdul Kalam)

Today’s movie starts with the above inspiring words by Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.

Today 15^th October’2023 is 92^nd birth anniversary (15.10.1931-27.07.2015) of the great son of this soil – Aerospace Scientist and President of India – A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam BR).

Abdul Kalam was born in Rameswaram (Tamilnadu, India). We are all aware of how this great soul started his journey of life and rise to be known as the ‘missile man of India’ with his invaluable contributions he made for the development of ‘space science’ and especially for the ‘development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology’ in our country. He also served as the President of India from 2002 to 2007. He became popular as the ‘People’s President’. Dr Kalam was very fond of children and he always loved to interact with students and spend time with children. He was very keen on shaping the young minds i.e. children and students of this country and he inspired many to achieve their goals in their life.

Dr Kalam remained a bachelor throughout his life. He lived a simple life with integrity and his life has set an example of how great heights can be scaled by a common man with dedication and perseverance and hard work. Religion and Spirituality were very important to him. He has authored several books which are inspiring our new generations and will keep doing so in future too. In 2015 on July’27^th when he was delivering a lecture at IIM, Shillong he collapsed and passed away leaving the whole nation in the state of shock and grief. (I still remember that day. I was staying in Nagpur then. It was a very sad day for all).

Today (15 October 2023), on this day, I would like to pay our tributes to Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam here on the blog. For this purpose I was looking for a song and I was going through songs from the movie, that very first come to my mind, ‘Mission Mangal’. However I remember that there was a movie made with the title ‘I Am Kalam’. I was not aware of the story of this movie and had not watched it yet. But when I read about this movie and checked for its songs I decided to present this song which is tailormade for our purpose. The song is picturised showing children school and one by one they are expressing what they want to become in their lives. I think this is the perfect tribute to Dr Kalam. The song is a background song. As mentioned earlier it is from the movie ‘I Am Kalam-2010’.

“I Am Kalam-2010” was directed by Nila Madhab Panda for ‘Smile Foundation Production’. The concept of this movie was also by Nila Madhab Panda. The cast of this movie had Gulshan Grover, debutant Harsh Mayar, Husaan Saad, Pitobash, Beatrice Ordiiex, Namrata Dixit, Garima Bharadwaj, Keshav Sharma, Mina Meer, S.D. Chouhan, Biswajeet Bal, Ashok Joshi, Suresh Acharya, Laxmi (Camel), Rajat Bhalla, Donna Deb and many others. Sanjay Chouhan was the creative producer and writer of this movie. Shantanu Mishra was the producer of this movie. Editing of this movie was done by Prashant Naik.

Here is the brief about this movie as taken from one of the ‘YouTube’ link. I have added the actor’s names to their respective character name in the movie.

Chhotu aka Kalam (Harsh Mayar) is an intelligent boy about 12 years of age from Rajasthan. Born into poverty, he is pawned off by his mother (Mina Meer) to work at a roadside food stall under the somewhat kind owner, Bhati (Gulshan Grover). The mother says repeatedly “School is not in our destiny”. Once, he (Chhotu) sees the then President of India, Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam’s address on television. He learns that Kalam was a poor boy like him, who sold newspapers. Inspired by a message from President Kalam, that anyone can change his or her destiny by education Chhotu starts studying on his own whenever possible. The movie is about how there is no such destiny and such supposed destinies can be changed by one’s own hard work.

I would like to mention here that this movie is a treat to watch. It is shot in Rajasthan and includes the locations such as ‘Karni Mata Temple’, Bikaner, Dhandusar village, Doongargarh and others. It also has a scene at the location of India Gate (Rajpath, New Delhi). This movie is available online and I think people will enjoy this lot. I would also like to request to those who have already watched this movie to share their experience of this movie. ‘I Am Kalam-2010’ received many awards and honours at various film festivals.

“I Am Kalam” has seven soundtracks including two versions of the today’s song. Lyricist Manvendra, Protique Mojoomdar, Kishore, Salil Vaidya, and Shivji Dholi shared the lyrics writing for this movie. Susmit Bose, Abhishek Ray, Papon and Madhuparna composed the songs of this movie. Background music for this movie was composed by Deepak Pandit.

Today we will listen to a song from this movie which is sung by KK & chorus for the main version and Mansi Bharadwaj & chorus for the children version. Lyrics are by Manvendra and music is composed by Abhishek Ray.

Let us listen to this song and have in our thoughts APJ Abdul Kalam – a great human being, a great scientist and a great Teacher!!!

With this post the movie ‘I AM KALAM -2010’ makes its debut on the blog.

‘Raincoat’ (2004) was produced by Shri Venkatesh Films and was directed by Rituparno Ghosh. Ajay Devgan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were in the lead roles supported by Anu Kapoor, Mauli Ganguly, Pradip Adhikari, Kailash Koppikar, Surekha Sikri, Sameer Dharmadhikari, Kameshwar Mishra etc. The film was adapted from the story, ‘Gift of Magi’ (1906) by O Henry which has been acknowledged in the film’s credit titles. The shooting of this film was completed in 16 days in Kolkata.

The film is a poignant love story of two childhood friends, Ajay and Aishwarya Rai who get separated by the destiny. Now both married with different spouses facing financial difficulties. They meet in Kolkata and their story starts. The gist of the story of the film has already been covered in the article by K Satish Shenoy. When I had watched the film for the first time, I had no idea as to how the film would end. But it turned out to be an unexpected one. Ajay Devgan pretends to be a successful TV Serial producer to Aishwarya Rai, while she in turn, pretends to be the wife of a wealthy husband with servants, drivers, etc. In reality, both have unhappy marriage and are in financial difficulties. Their reason for pretension is not because they want to show off to each other. Both have feelings for each other this pretension is out of concern to avoid the stress for each other. Hence, it is challenging for both the lead actors and the director to maintain a delicate balance between the light humour and the poignancy. This is one of the best films I have watched in the recent period. Both Aishwarya Rai and Ajay Devgan have given excellent performances which are contrary to their images in the mainstream Hindi films.

The film had 8 songs including two songs with additional versions. All the songs were written by Rituparno Ghosh. One song has already appeared on the Blog. I am presenting the second song from the film ‘piya tora kaisa abhimaan’ to appear on the Blog. The song has two versions – one rendered by Shubha Mudgal and the second version is rendered by Hariharan. Both the songs written by Rituparno Ghosh have the shades of Brajabuli dialect. Shubha Mudgal version appears in two parts against the background of the Ajay – Aishwarya’s flashbacks as well as their meetings in Kolkata. Hariharan’s version appears on the screen partially.

In Shubha Mudgal version, Gulzar recites his poem in between two stanzas. Film’s music director, Debjyoti Mishra, in his interview which appeared in The Times of India, August 20, 2020, has revealed that Rituparno Ghosh gave Gulzar a Bangla poem written by Shakti Chattopadhyay and requested him to write a poem in Hindi incorporating the same feelings and emotions as is in the Bangla poem. Instead of translating the Bangla poem, Gulzar wrote a fresh Hindi poem, keeping the feelings and emotions in the Bangla poem. He recited the poem interspersed with the song with his specialty in using metaphors and imagery in this poem.

In this song, Rituparno Ghosh has equated the love between Aishwarya Rai and Ajay Devgan with that of Radha-Krishna whose love for each other is eternal because their love did not result in their union. So, when Krishna married Rukmini, Radha’s love for Krishna remained the same. There are beautiful verses in the both the versions of the songs written by Rituparno Ghosh which I am discussing below:

saghan saawan laayi kadam bahaar
Mathura se doli laaye chaaron kahaar
nahin aaye kesariya balma hamaar
angana bada sunsaan

The heavy rains of saawan has made kadamba trees blossom.
Four kahaars (palanquin carriers) have brought palanquin from Mathura.
Alas, my kesariya balam (Krishna) did not come.
The ceremonial place is deserted.

Note: ‘Kahaar’ is a caste in North India who are water carriers, boatman, even fishermen. They are generally used for carrying palanquin.

apne nayan se neer bahaaye
apni Jamuna khud aap hi banaawe
lakh baar usmein hi nahaaye
poora na huyi asnaan
sookhe kesh rukhe besh manwa bejaan

I cried and shed tears from my own eyes.
I cried so much as if I bathed in the water of Jamuna River.
I bathed umpteen times, but I have not felt like completing my bath.
My hair and face have dried up. My heart has become lifeless.

bol sakhi kaahe kari saajo singaar
na pahinab aabhushana kaanchan haar
khali chandan laga ang maa hamaar
chandan garal samaan

Ae sakhi, why should I dress up to look nice?
I will not wear jewellery nor the gold pedant.
I will apply sandalwood paste all over my body.
Because sandalwood is like poison.

garal=poison

Note: Applying sandalwood paste is like becoming a saintly woman, who has renounced all worldly things. There is a saying ‘chandan garal samaan’ which means sandalwood is like a poison. According to a mythological belief, sandalwood trees are the abode of venomous snakes who encircle the sandalwood trees for shades but cannot poison the sandalwood trees. In this context, Rahim had said in one of his Dohas, ‘chandan vish vyaapat naahi, lipat rahat bhujang’.

And this article will not be complete if I do not discuss the unusual metaphors Gulzar Saab have used in his poems to bring out the pains of separation and longing.

aur seelan iss tarah bahati hai jaise
khushk rukhsaaron pe gile aansoo bahaten hain

The water from dampness (on the wall) is flowing like wet tears flowing on the dried cheeks. [Only Gulzar Saab can imagine ‘gile aansoo’ (wet tears). Probably, Gulzaar Saab is differentiating with those tears which do not come out in the open and flow].

ye baarish gungunati thhee isi chat ke munderon par
ye ghar ki khidkiyon ke kaanch par ungli se likh jaati thhee sandese
bilakhti rahti hai baithi huyi ab band roshandaanon ke peechhe

Rain used to give a humming sound on the terrace.
They would write messages over the glass frames of the windows.
Now, they sit behind the closed roshandaans, weeping.

Roshandaan: There seems to be no equivalent meaning in English for Roshandaan. The closest meaning would be a Ventilator with a glass frame which the old houses would generally have on the roof, high on the main walls of the house or above the windows for sunlight and breeze. During rains, roshandaan is kept closed.

dupharen aisi lagti hai bina moharon ke khaali khaane rakhen hain
na koi khelne waala hai baazi aur na koi chal chalta hai

The afternoons feel like an empty chess board with no chess pieces.
No one plays the game and no one makes a move.

According to some surveys, about 90 percent of the Indian marriages are still the outcome of arranged alliances. While the parents/elders are involved in the process of the selection of alliances, the ultimate decision are supposed to be left to boys/girls. But in reality, in most cases, under the pressure from the parents/elders, the boys/girls will not go against the selection of alliance by their parents/elders. In such cases, some newly married couples may soon realize that they are not in love with their spouses after the marriage for variety of reasons. But they continue to live together as the divorce is not a pleasant option. In some cases, over a period of time, a feeling of mutual care and trust set in the married couples. This is broadly the main theme of the film ‘Dam Laga Ke Haisha’ (2015).

I had a broad idea as to what is the meaning of dum laga ke haisha. During my childhood, I have often watched a group of laborers shouting “dum laga ke haisha” while pulling the heavy electric cables with their both hands for placing the cables underground. This was probably done to give more strength to them while pulling the cables. Now I know that this slang is also used to prop-up someone to do work beyond his capacity.

The film was produced under the banner of Yash Raj Films and was directed by Sharat Katariya who also wrote the screenplay and dialogues. The cast includes Ayushman Khurana and Bhumi Pednekar in the lead roles, supported by Sanjay Mishra, Alka Amin, Seema Pahwa, Mahesh Sharma, Shrikant Verma, Sheeba Chaddha, Chandrachoor Rai etc. Kumar Shanu appears in a cameo role in the film as himself. This was the debut film of Bhumi Pednekar for which she had to gain 30 kgs of weight to look like a fat girl as her role demanded. The film was entirely shot in Haridwar-Rishikesh. The time span of the story is around mid-1990s.

Bhumi Pednekar who, as the Assistance Casting Director in Yash Raj Film for six years, had been auditioning hundred of girls for the lead role in this film. But while doing so, unknowingly, she herself was under observation by the director of the film for the lead role. She ultimately bagged the role. [Source: the Times of India dated 14^th September 2021].

The details of the story are as under:

A marriage proposal for Prem Tiwari (Anshuman Khurana), the son of Chandrabhan Tiwari (Sanjay Mishra) and Shashi Tiwari (Alka Amin) is brought by a priest. While Prem’s family is keen to get him married, he is strongly opposed to it as he had not yet settled in his life. Moreover, the prospective bride, Sandhya (Bhumi Pednekar) is overweight and is more educated (B.Ed.) than him (10^th failed). But the elders in his family pressurise him to agree for the alliance as she is on the way to getting a teacher’s job in a high school. This would supplement the family’s declining income. Very reluctantly, Prem gives his nod for the marriage.

Prem is unable to reconcile with his marriage because it comes at the cost of his own self-esteem. Sandhya is educated and quick-witted while has always been a loser in his life. There are no common ground to start a life of love and affection. Sandhya on the other hand, is trying to make their marriage work despite her husband’s inferiority complex and occasionally his misbehavior with her. At the pre-wedding get-together of Prem’s friend, Prem becomes jealous of his friend getting a beautiful and lean bride. A few drinks and Prem comes out openly about his disliking for Sandhya. He loudly tells one of his friends in the gathering that he is spending his nights with a bull like wife. Sandhya overhears and feels insulted. The next day, she leaves with her baggage to her maternal house. The family members of Prem try to convince him to bring back his wife by apologizing to her. But he ignores their advice.

Inwardly, after few days, Prem has already started feeling his wife’s absence, but his self-esteem does not allow him to mend his way. He joins English classes to clear his paper for 10^th standard. But in the examination hall, his preoccupation with his marital problems blanks him completely. On the other side, Sandhya files for divorce in a family court. The judge, after listening to both the parties, suggests them to stay together for six months and try for reconciliation. Sandhya agrees and returns to her in-law’s place. It is during this six months’ time that there is some improvements in Prem’s behavior towards his wife who also feels that her husband needs to be given some leeway for adjustments.

But Prem’s mental state is so weak that one day, he tried to commit suicide. Timely intervention by the family members saves him. Sandhya and family members think that they should do something to prop up his self-esteem. The annual competition called ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ is being organized in Rishikesh in which married couples take part. The husband has to run, carrying his wife on the back, after overcoming few hurdles, has to crossed the winning line. After lot of cajoling by Prem’s family members and Sandhya, Prem reluctantly agrees to participate in the competition thinking that he would any way be out of the race early as he would not be able to carry his overweight wife.

The competition is inaugurated by none other than Kumar Shanu. The presence of his idol makes Prem to participate in the competition more vigorously than he had thought of the race. He runs taking his wife on the back. After overcoming hurdles in the race, Prem not only reach first on the winning line, but he also goes beyond it, carrying his wife on the back to his home. They hug each other for the first time with moist eyes until their family members come to take them back to the venue to accept the cup and prize money.

Along with the main theme, the film has some sub-plots which merge with the main theme without appearing extraneous. I have not included the sub-plots in the above details as it would make the article lengthy. Hats off to director, Sharat Katariya for making such a beautiful film without much of a melodrama. I think, by adding the race, the director has intended to show that just as Prem has won the race in which carrying his overweight wife is not a problem for him, it should not be a problem for making their married life smooth as well.

There are some heartwarming scenes which show that though Prem does not love his wife and avoids her company, he takes care of her whenever required. For example, he walks back and picks up the chappal of his wife which falls from the two wheelers while they are traveling. He brings back his wife’s file containing documents for her teacher’s interview which she has forgotten without which her interview would have been a non-starter. The performances of Ayushman Khurana and Bhumi Pednekar is superb. Despite her debut film, Bhumi Pednekar’s chemistry with Ayushman Khurana is great for a role where they have to depict their contra-chemistry.

Contrary to the Yash Raj Films’ standards, this film was made with a modest budget of around 14 crores as per the Box Office India report. Probably, there was some apprehension as to the success of the film at the box office. How the audience would react to a fat heroine in the film could have been an issue. However, the film gross collections surpassed Rs. 40 crores with in a month of its release and it continued to increase. The film won the National Film Award for the Best Feature Film in Hindi for 2015. Bhumi Pednekar won the Filmfare Award for the best debut actress for the film.

The film has six songs including a two version song, which are written by Varun Grover and set to music by Anu Malik. I am presenting the first song from the film, “Ye Moh Moh Ke Dhaage” to appear on the Blog. The song has two solo versions rendered by Monali Thakur and Papon (Angaraag Mahanta). Monali Thakur version of the song are played in the background depicting the turning points in the minds of both Prem and Sandhya. Somewhere in the back of their minds, the threads of ‘moh’ (desire) are slowly taking them to the path of love. A part of the song was filmed on Ram Jhoola in Rishikesh showing Ayushman Khurana and Bhumi Pednekar driving on their two-wheeler. I did not find the Papon version of the song in the film.

The song is identified as based on Raag Yaman and sounds very melodious to the ears. Along with the beautiful lyrics and the melody, the song is also enjoyable with major shehnai interlude before the first antara and the major flute interlude before the second antara. The song ends with another beautiful flute postlude. It is an unlikely Anu Malik song.

The song won the National Film Awards for the Best Lyrics for Varun Grover and the Best Playback Singer for Monali Thakur.

#the Decade of 2000s – 2001 – 2010 #
————————————————-

Music of Uttam Singh / Music Composer – Uttam Singh – 03
——————————————–

This series on the songs composed by music composer Uttam Singh has been going on for some time. Today I present an ‘epic song’ composed by him from the movie ‘Gadar Ek Premkatha-2001’.

Today we know Uttam Singh as a successful and famous ‘music-composer’, who composed songs for movies like ‘Dil To Paagal Hai’, ‘Gadar Ek Premkatha’ etc. But I doubt how many of us know about his initial struggles and his ‘inspirational story’ of ‘struggles to successes’. (Even I was not aware of his full biographical information till recently).

Uttam Singh’s life journey is a story of sheer hard work, determination, discipline, dedication, perseverance, simplicity and humbleness which became possible because of his father who want to see his son becoming a musician, specifically a ‘western classical violinist’ and later becoming a music composer. Uttam Singh was born in Dehradun on 25^th May’1948. His forefathers were from Sargodha (Gujaranwala) now in Pakistan. They come to Dehradun before partition and stayed there and moved to Lucknow later. Theirs’ was a well-educated family.

Everything was going well till Uttam Singh’s father developed an interest in Music. He started taking musical lessons from Ustad Iliyaz Khan who was a principal at Lucknow College. Uttam Singh was around four and half years old then. His father was very fond of music. However Uttam Singh’s grandfather was against this. And so it happened one day that the grandfather of Uttam Singh told his son that if he wish to continue with music he will not be able to live with them. Hearing this Uttam Singh’s father immediately called Uttam Singh’s mother and along with Uttam Singh left home without taking anything and only with the clothes they were wearing. From here they started roaming around the country and staying in ‘Gurudwaras’ where they used to play ‘kirtans’ in ‘Gurudwaras’ and religious functions. Uttam Singh’s mother used to sing. His father was a ‘sitaar’ player and also played other instruments. They used to stay and eat at the ‘Gurudwaras’ and also had some earnings when people appreciated them. Uttam Singh who was a child then started learning music and singing from his father which started with playing on the ‘matkaa’ (earthen pot) and learned ‘tablaa’ further. Travelling to places they came to Ahmedabad in 1960 and from there Uttam Singh’s father took him and his mother to Bombay to one of their friends’ place. Immediately on reaching Bombay his father went away and came back with the information that from the next day Uttam Singh will be joining the classes for learning ‘Western Classical Violin’. It started the ‘musical journey’ of Uttam Singh. He learnt the ‘Western Classical Violin’ from Felix Heredia, Music Director Pyarelal ji’s father Baba Ram Prasad Ji and teacher Menezes.

He worked by playing violin for almost three years. In 1962 he got an opportunity to play violin for a documentary by Mohammad Shafi who was assisting Naushad Saab. From here Naushad Saab picked Uttam Singh to play violin in his team and later gave him a chance of playing solo violin. In 1964 Uttam Singh became member of ‘Cine Music Association’ (CMA). In those days Uttam Singh’s father used to wake him up around 03:30 in the morning and he used to go for running around 7-8 miles and after that his training sessions would continue spreading over thirteen and half hours daily till evening. Uttam Singh started his musical journey as a violinist and making music arrangements for Naushad Saab. In 1965 the famous Qawwals Shankar Shambhu gave him a chance as a music arranger for a Punjabi film. From here when Uttam Singh was just seventeen years he started writing music and becoming a music arranger.
Uttam Singh went on to play violin for some of the famous music directors like Roshan, C. Ramchandra, Madan Mohan, S.D. Burman and R.D. Burman, Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Kalyanji-Anandji.

It happened that, when Manoj Kumar was making ‘Shirdi Ke Sai Baba-1977’ the two songs ‘sainaath tere hazaaron haathh’ and ‘sai baba bolo, sai baba bolo’ were composed by Jagdish Khanna and music arrangement was done by Uttam Singh. Jagdish Khanna was not given credit for these songs separately. However Manoj Kumar was very much impressed with these two compositions and so when he decided to make ‘Painter Babu-1983’ for his brother he asked Uttam-Jagdish to compose the music for this film. Uttam Singh was reluctant as he was contented with whatever he was doing. He seek advice of his father who told him ‘yes, I want to see you as a music composer’ that he decided to go forward after keeping Manoj Kumar waiting for more than a month for taking this decision.

The collaboration of Uttam Singh and Jagdish Khanna continued till 1992 till the making of the movie ‘Teerandaaz-1992’. Jagdish Khanna passed away in 1992. However I guess that this movie was either shelved or not released due to reasons unknown. Though the pair of Uttam-Jagdish didn’t get much success they composed some of the good music for the movies they collaborated for. Meanwhile Uttam Singh had been continuing arranging music and was busy always.

We will continue to have a detailed list of films where music was composed by Uttam Singh-Jagdish Khanna together. Earlier on this blog I have already presented songs composed by them from the movies ‘Painter Babu-1983’ and ‘Waaris-1988’.

We will also be reading about how Uttam Singh got Yash Chopra’s ‘Dil To Paagal Hai’ as an Independent Music Composer and the other movies he composed music after ‘Dil To Paagal Hai’. And we will also be reading about his family and his children in the future posts coming on the blog.

For today I present a song from the movie ‘Gadar Ek Premkatha-2001’. The sequel of this movie has been released last month and has been likened by people all over the country. The today’s song from the ‘Gadar-1’ movie has also had an interesting story behind it which has been told by Uttam Singh himself in an interview to a TV channel.

It so happened that when Uttam Singh was offered ‘Gadar Ek Premkatha’ and the story of this movie, he was asked to come with some tunes for the songs. When Uttam Singh read the story and start working he didn’t come with any tune for almost twenty days and one day when he again put his thoughts as to what a ‘truck driver’ would sing like, he come up the tune for the mukhda of this song with a piece of ‘saarangi’ which he shared with the director, writer, lyricist and other key members of the movie. Uttam Singh also told them that this song will be the theme song of this movie covering all the various incidents in the movie and moving forward with the story of the movie.
When asked about the composition for the ‘antaraas’ he told that it is yet to be worked out and he will do that once this ‘mukhdaa and saarangi’ piece is approved by all. It is then that the lyricist Anand Bakshi came up with ‘ud jaa kaale kaawaan’ and the rest as we know is ‘history’ of what came up as a ‘folk based song’ which is not actually based on a ‘folk song’.

This song is sung by Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik and Nihar S. In the movie, as we are all aware that, this song happens first in the college campus when the girls asked Tara Singh (Sunny Deol) to sing a song. The second part happens after Tara Singh and Sakina get married and they are blessed with a son. The third part is played when Sakina is kept under house arrest by his parents in Pakistan and Tara Singh with his son went on searching for her. They succeed in meeting each other which is also shown in this part of the song. The final part of this song termed as a ‘victory song’ happens when Tara Singh coming victorious after fighting all odds to get back Sakina and come back to this side of the border along with his son. (And as mentioned by Uttam Singh this is the feeling when the ‘whole brahmaand is blessing and singing for them).

Let us watch, listen and enjoy this epic song which I think is coming at the ‘right time’ on this blog.
I love this song very much and I still remember how twenty two years back when this song was around I used to be humming it always. This song is very soulfully sung by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik and by Nihar S (the child’s voice I guess).

“Gadar Ek Premkatha-2001” was directed by Anil Sharma for ‘Zee’. It was produced by Nitin Keni. The cast of this movie includes Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, Amrish Puri, Lillete Dubey, Vivek Shauq, Utkarsh Sharma, Suresh Oberoi, Madhumalti Kapoor, Tony Mirchandani, Mushtaq Khan, Samar Jaisingh, Pramod Moutho, Kanika Shivpuri, Malavika Shivpuri, Ishrat Ali, Usha Bachani, Rakesh Bedi, Abhay Bhargava, Preeti Bhutani, Dolly Bindra, Mithilesh Chaturvedi, Vikrant Chaturvedi, and many others. Om Puri had given his voice as the narrator for this movie.

Story of this movie was written by Shaktimaan Talwar. Editing of this film was done by Arun Shekhar (A.D. Dhanashekharan-Arun V Narvekar) and Keshav Naidu. ‘Gadar Ek Premkatha’ has seven songs including one four part song, where the lyrics of all songs were written by Anand Bakshi. Music for this movie was composed by Uttam Singh. Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, Preeti Uttam, Nihar S., Pt Ajoy Chakraborty, and Parveen Sultana had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

Over to the song now…

Baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aayaa

Posted by: Atul on: September 9, 2023

Sometime in 2005, a film, ‘Mr Mehta/Mrs Singh’ was in the planning stage which was to be produced by Vishal Bhardwaj and UTV and was to be directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. Amir Khan and Kareena Kapoor were to act in lead roles. It was planned to be a romantic comedy. However, the film got aborted at the planning stage itself for reasons known to the producers.

About 5 years later, Medient Studios in association with Tarlac produced a film with similar sounding title, ‘Mr Singh/Mrs Mehta’ (2010) with ‘cross infidelity’ of two married couples as the theme of the story. The film was directed by Pravesh Bhardwaj who also wrote the story, screenplay, and dialogues. The main cast consisted of Prashant Narayanan, Aruna Shields, Naved Aslam, Lucy Hassan, Shilpa Mittal etc. Except for Prashant Narayanan, I had not heard the names of the other actors of the film. The film got ‘A’ certificate from Censor Board for its India release.

I have watched the film which is available for viewing on Dailymotion. The gist of the story of the film is as under:

Two married couples – Ashwin Mehta (Prashant Narayanan), a painter and Sakhi Mehta (Lucy Hassan), the first couple and Karan Singh (Naved Aslam)/Neera Singh (Aruna Shields), the second couple live in London. Neera suspects that Karan is having an affair with another lady and soon she gets to know the identity of lady as Sakhi. She visits Sakhi’s house but instead finds her husband, Ashwin in the house. Both are shocked to learn the affairs between Karan and Sakhi. Ashwin and Neera give solace to each other as they are sailing in the same boat. They often spend time together and recall their romantic moments with their spouses. With this background, they are unable to come to terms as to how quickly things have changed in their lives. Eventually, Neera and Ashwin become friends. Ashwin dare not ask his wife, Sakhi over her affair with Karan as if she confesses, it will shatter his life.

The friendship between Ashwin and Neera become stronger day by day. One day, Ashwin reveals his wish to paint Neera in the nude. After some hesitation, she agrees to give a nude pose. Slowly, Neera’s friendship with Ashwin turns into an affair between them. Ashwin justifies their affair as a means of settling the scores against her husband. Neera does not like Ashwin’s comments and breaks their relationship. On the other hand, the nude painting of a lady impresses Sakhi, Ashwin’s wife, very much and she encourages him to paint more and to hold exhibitions of his paintings.

One day, Neera and Karan walk by the painting exhibitions of Ashwin and Karan recognises the nude painting of his wife, Neera. Both walked inside the exhibition hall and find Sakhi standing by the side of Neera’s nude painting. Sakhi recognises Neera and gets the hint of Ashwin’s affairs with Neera. Karan and Sakhi also get shocked to see each other at the exhibition. The film ends with Ashwin and his wife Sakhi continue to live together while Neera moves out of Karan’s house.

The film has a very unusual story if not bizarre one. The normal response from the two persons who have come to know of their spouses’ extra-marital affair would generally be to confront the spouses rather than indulge themselves in affair to settle the score. Somehow, the screenplay has not sufficiently tackled the responses from the affected spouses. The film appears disjointed at some places. Probably, the Censor Board may have directed to delete certain scenes at least for the prints to be shown in India. The nude scene (blurred for Indian viewers) appears more of an item number rather than the absolute need of the situation.

The film story moves in a slow face and that too with dull moments. The performances of the main actors except Prashant Narayanan is average. The dialogue deliveries of both the female actresses are not up to the mark, probably because of their Indo-British background. The songs and the background music in the film are the plus points. Being a classical musician and vocalist, Ustad Shujaat Hussain Khan has used the semiclassical base for the compositions of the songs as well as for the background music. I liked the semiclassical tunes played mainly on sitar and flute as a background music.

The film has 6 songs including a second version song. All the songs have been written by Amitabh Verma and set to music by Ustad Shujaat Hussain Khan, the son, and the disciple of the great sitarist, Ustad Vilayat Khan of Etawah (Imdad Khani) Gharana. Music directors, Hafiz Khan Mastana and Aziz Khan were the first cousins of Ustad Vilayat Khan. Ustad Shujaat Hussain Khan has been known for his unique style of presentation in his concert, his sitar recital with own singing.

I am presenting the first song, ‘baarhaan dil mein ek sawaal aaya’ from the film to appear on the Blog. The song has two versions, both the solo renditions by KK (Krishnakumar Kunnath) and Shreya Ghoshal. While mukhda lyrics for both the versions are the same, the antaras are different. The music composition of the song is ghazal-based but the lyrics do not conform to the parameters set for the ghazal.

KK version of the song gets played in the background when both Neera and Ashwin realise that their affairs are more or less a replica of what their spouses have indulged without any scope of turning into the real companions. Shreya Ghoshal version of the song is played in the background towards the end of the film when Sakhi and her husband, Ashwin renew their love for each other and decided to stay together while Neera decides to move out of her husband, Karan’s house.

By the way, ‘baarhaan’ means ‘बार बार’ in Hindi, ‘often’ in English.

Lyrics (Male Version):

baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aaya
baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aaya
aaj socha to ye khayaal aaya
baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aaya
aaj socha to ye khayaal aaya
do kadam saath bas chale tum hum
humsafar to na thhe kabhi tum hum
baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aaya

teri baaton pe muskuraayen aankhen
teri khushbu se gungunaayen saansen
mere iss dil ko hai bas ek hi gham
humsafar to na thhe kabhi tum hum
baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aaya
aaj socha to ye khayaal aaya
do kadam saath bas chale tum hum
humsafar to na thhe kabhi tum hum
baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aaya

aaj phir teri yaad aayi hai
paas mere meri tanhaai hai
chalo achcha hai toote saare bharam
humsafar to na thhe kabhi tum hum
baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aaya
aaj socha to ye khayaal aaya
do kadam saath bas chale tum hum
humsafar to na thhe kabhi tum hum
baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aaya

Lyrics (Female Version)
—————————–

kisne socha thha din ye aayenge
apne saaye bhi chhoot jaayenge
main na jaanoon mujhe khushi hai ya gham
humsafar to na thhe kabhi tum hum
baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aaya
aaj socha to ye khayaal aaya
do kadam saath bas chale tum hum
humsafar to na thhe kabhi tum hum
baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aaya

dil hai bejaar
jism bejaan hai
koi ehsaas hi nahin baaki
na ye aankhen ye soch ke huyin nam
humsafar to na thhe kabhi tum hum
baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aaya
aaj socha to ye khayaal aaya
do kadam saath bas chale tum hum
humsafar to na thhe kabhi tum hum
baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aaya

Aaj kal aisaa lagtaa hai…ik aadhi kahaani hai

Achcha hee hua dil toot gayaa

Ruk jaa saathhi

Chup chaap karte hain baaten jab teree ye khaamoshiyaan

Shabnam ka ye qatra hai yaad ka ik sharaaraa

Chaand taare jeb mein hain

Piyaa toraa kaisa abhimaan

Ye Moh Moh Ke Dhaage

Udd jaa kaale kaawaan

Baarhaan dil mein ik sawaal aayaa
