‘Naukri’ (1978) was produced under the banner of R S J Productions and was directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The cast included Rajesh Khanna, Zaheera and Raj Kapoor in main roles supported by Om Shivpuri, Pratima Devi, Tom Alter, V Gopal, Meena Roy, Vijay Sharma, Aarti, Lalita Kumari, Master Akbar etc. Nadira, A K Hangal, Jayshree T and Younus Parvez made the friendly appearances and Keshto Mukherjee, Padma Khanna and Deven Varma made guest appearances in the film. The film was released in the theatres on June 09, 1978. The film’s story was written by Salil Chowdhury who also provided the background music.
After the box office success of Hrishikesh Mukherjee-Rajesh Khanna combination in ‘Anand’ (1970), ‘Baawarchi’ (1972) and Namak Haraam’ (1973), Hrishikesh Mukherjee commenced shooting of ‘Naukri’ (1978) sometime in 1974 in which he also took his close friend, Raj Kapoor. However, the film took relatively longer time to complete in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s standard. While I could not get authentic information as to why the film got delayed, it appears that there was some disagreement between Rajesh Khanna and the film’s producers which made the shooting schedules going awry. My guess is that when two super stars are working in the film, getting the fresh common dates from them becomes difficult. I also came to know from Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s biography that he lost interest in the film due to delay as well as the prevailing political situation in the country (Emergency during 1975-77).
The film had an unusual story of a World War-II soldier who has become physically challenged after the war. After the end of the war and till few days before India’s independence in 1947, he has remained unemployed. Hence, he cannot take care of his mother, sister and a brother. In desperation, he commits suicide. The interesting part of the story of the film begins at this point when he meets a Captain who reveals that both of them belong to a different world (ghosts’ world) now. The rest of the film is about sharing their past lives and mingling with other ghosts who in turns also share their past lives. The detailed story of the film is as under:
Physically challenged Ranjit (Rajesh Khanna) stays with his widowed mother (Pratima Devi), a teenage sister, Rekha (Aarti) and an adopted younger brother in a small house. Due to his physical condition, Ranjit is not able to get employment and to take care of his family. His landlord has asked him to vacate the house within 24 hours because he has not paid the rent for months. Depressed with the family’s condition, Ranjit commit suicide by jumping from the bridge over a passing train. He is dead.
A crowd gather watching the dead body of Ranjit. Suddenly, a bewildered Ranjit finds himself with the crowd. At that moment, Swaraj Singh (Raj Kapoor) appears and introduces himself as Captain to Ranjit. He points out that both of them now belong to the community of ghosts and people around them would not feel their presence nor would they hear their voices. First, Ranjit refuses to believe what Captain says. But when he realises that both his legs have become normal and his dead body still lies on the railway track, he tends to believe what Captain has told him.
Captain introduces other ghosts, one of them being a couple (Deven Varma and Jayshri T) who had committed suicide when their parents opposed their marriage. They get united in the ghost community. However, as they are ghosts, they cannot be physically close. Then, there is Rasiklal (Yunus Parvez) who is after Deven Varma for running away with his wife of previous birth (Jayshri T) but cannot catch them physically. Ranjit also meets a former British police officer, Anderson (Tom Alter) who was killed by two revolutionaries. Ranjit is surprised because being a British national, he should have been in their community of ghosts. Captain explains that he is here because apart from his bonhomie with two revolutionaries who are also here after they were hanged till death, his lover, Ferozabai (Padma Khanna) is also here.
Captain tells Ranjit that, now it is the time for him to tell as to why he has committed suicide. Ranjit starts his story from the college days when he spent good days with his family. He was a mixed doubles champion in Badminton in the college with his partner, Ramola (Zaheera) who was in love with Ranjit. However, Ranjit was not sure that their love for each other would convert into a marriage as Ramola was from a wealthy family and her father (Om Shivpuri) would not agree for the marriage. Ranjit’s father who was not keeping good health had to mortgage his house to run the family. After his death, he sold the house and shifted to a small house with his family.
Ramola continued her relationship with Ranjit. Even Ramola’s father was agreeable for the marriage provided he joined his company and proved his worthy of being his son-in-law. Ranjit was not agreeable, and the marriage proposal was terminated. At this stage, Captain interrupts Ranjit and tells him that his life story sounds like a Hindi film story – like Devdas, and he knows as to what next stage of his story would be. He presumes that after separation from Ramola, either Ranjit would get soaked in alcohol or he would start singing ghazals of separation. Ranjit tells Captain that he has not done anything of those sorts. Instead, he joined the army and in a war front, he got badly injured on both the legs. He was hospitalised and after recovery, he was on the crutches making his life miserable and for the same reason, he was unemployed. He could not get compensation from the army despite persuing for months because he could not prove that he lost his legs in the army operations. So, he committed suicide.
Curiosity makes Ranjit to ask Captain as to how he has landed in the community of ghosts. Captains says that his story is simple. As his name. Swaraj Singh suggests, he was from a freedom fighter’s family. However, he lost his father in the freedom struggle, and he had to look for some job to earn money for the family. So, he came to Mumbai and joined the film industry as a body double. During a scene picturisation when he was sitting astride on the horse as a body double for the hero, the horse suddenly slipped and fell in the deep valley killing him.
Ranjit is worried as to how his mother, sister and brother are managing to sustain. Captain points out that now it is none of his business to worry about them. If he was really concerned about them, he would not have committed suicide. Nonetheless, Captain takes him to show that his mother has become a beggar. His sister has become a prostitute, and his younger brother is selling candy in the train. Ranjit is devasted seeing his family’s flights. But he cannot help them as he is a ghost. Captain reminds him that he should have thought of this before committing suicide which is akin to running away from one’s responsibilities.
A gloomy Ranjit suddenly sees Ramola and a smile comes to his face. Ramola is also happy to see Ranjit and tells him that she committed suicide when she came to know that he had committed suicide. With this happy coincidence, Captain arranges a party for community of ghosts to cheer up Ranjit who has now got the company of Ramola. In the party, Captain is surprised to find his acquittance, Lily (Nadira), a call girl who had met Ranjit when he was alive and was in depressed mood. She gives a good and bad news to Captain. The good news is that India has got independence, and the bad news is that India is partitioned on the basis of Hindi and Muslim. Captain is devasted by the second news who was a firm believer of an united India. Captain vanishes into thin air.
Ranjit and Ramola exchange the events which led to their respective suicides. She laments that if he had apprised her of his problems, she would have managed to get him some work and in that case lives of both of them would have been saved. Now since both of them are ghosts, she wants to hear from him that he still loves her. When Ranjit tells her the same, she says she has remained ghost to hear these words. Having heard so, she is now free to renounce her present form. After this, Ramola also vanishes into thin air as if she has got salvation after Ranjit’s affirmation that he still loves her. Having left alone, Ranjit sees a procession in which his mother, sister and brother are participants. A police van comes and a police officer fires on the procession in which most of the persons are killed including Ranjit’s family. The film has a very unusual, surprising end.
The film is stated to be loosely inspired from Hollywood film, ‘It is a Wonderful Life’ (1946) by Frank Capra. While the basic idea may have been derived from this film, ‘Naukri’ (1978) is different in terms of story background and supernatural events peculiar to India. The first half of the film has been beautifully crafted which has Hrishikesh Mukherjee touch. However, in the second half of the film, Hrishikesh Mukherjee touch is majorly missing. Towards the end of the film, there are some preachings on the lines of what IPTA members would usually raise in their films. As mentioned earlier, it was said that Hrishikesh Mukherjee had lost interest in this film due to delay in completing the film.
Nonetheless, I found the film to be interesting one to watch. More than two-thirds of the film have Raj Kapoor and Rajesh Khanna in the frames. I always liked Rajesh Khanna in unconventional roles and this film was no exception. The role of Raj Kapoor in this film was dominant one whereas Rajesh Khanna was in a subdued role. The super stars in their contrasting roles gave their excellent performances worthy of watching them together for the first time in this film. Despite the presence of two super stars, the film failed at the box office. I feel that the film was not well publicised as I do not even recall this film. R D Burman’s average compositions failed to make the songs popular. As often happens, most of the delayed films do not perform well on the box office. By the way, it was the last film, both for Raj Kapoor and Rajesh Khanna with Hrishikesh Mukherjee.
The film had 4 songs written by Anand Bakshi and set to music by R D Burman. I am presenting the first song from the film, ‘upar jaake yaad aayi neeche ki baaten’ to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Mukesh for Raj Kapoor. Rajesh Khanna and Zaheera are also present in the audience.
The background to the song is that on the eve of India’s independence and also for the first time, Captain (Raj Kapoor) has seen Ranjit (Rajesh Khanna) in a happy face, (Raj Kapoor ) arranges a party for the ghost community. Ranjit is happy that his beloved Ramola (Zaheera) has also joined the ghost community after her suicide. Incidentally, much before this song sequence, Captain (Raj Kapoor) has actually delivered the dialogue which corresponds to the first two lines of the song when Ranjit starts worrying about the well beings of his mother, sister and brother.

Every year, hundreds of Hindi feature films are certified by Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Just for a sample check, I found that for the years 1951-1980, on an average, 100-120 Hindi features films had been certified/released. I am sure the number of Hindi films certified/released in the subsequent decades must have increased significantly. There were many Hindi feature films which had been shot but got shelved or remained incomplete or if completed, remained unreleased. I checked on the websites of Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) and Producers Guild of India (GUILD) for the list of such films. Unfortunately, no such information is available on the website. It is one more example of the poor upkeep of film related statistics.
There are many reasons as to why films get shelved or remain incomplete and if completed, remain unreleased. But the generic reason is the way the films were made until few years back. Normally, till the end of the last century, a film was shot in driblets as the main actors would give dates for shooting for days normally ranging between 5-10 days at a time and the actors would get paid according to the progress of the film. Those days, the popular star-actors would sign the films in good numbers because of the lure of signing amount. This would result the clash of dates of the main actors thus delaying the shooting and increasing the film’s production cost. The net result of these systems was that a film could take an average 18-36 months. The longer the time to complete a film, the bigger will be the risk associated with the completion of the film apart from other risk associated with filmmaking.
I have gone through the articles on our Blog which has so far covered around 80 unreleased (UR) films including shelved and incomplete films. I have also gone through some on-line articles covering a few specific films of such categories. Based on the information from these articles wherever the reasons for such films were spelt out, I have listed below 5 broad categories of reasons which led to films remaining incomplete or shelved and completed but remained unreleased.
1. Financial constraint : When the films take longer time than expected to complete or the allocated budget for the film is exceeded during the making of the films, the producers/financiers have to provide additional funds to complete the films. If they failed to arrange the additional finance, the films remain incomplete and finally shelved. One of the shelved films mentioned under this reason is Ramesh Sippy’s mid-1980s multi-starer, ‘Zameen’ with Vinod Khanna, Rajnikanth, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi. The film exceeded the budget during the making of the film and it was reported that financiers/distributors refused to provide further finance for the film. Another film was J P Dutta’s ‘Sarhad’ which was shelved in 1976 due to budget constraint when nearly 50% of the film’s shooting was completed.
2. Creative differences and Compatibility Issues: Creative differences and compatibility issues can arise between the producer and director, between director and main actors and among the main actors. If they are not sorted out, one of them would leave the film which can result in the suspension of the film’s shooting. If the alternative arrangements are not made in time, the film remains incomplete or shelved. An interesting case under this reason was K Asif’s film, ‘Jaanwar’ with Dilip Kumar pairing with Suraiya for the first time. This film started its shooting sometime in early 1950s. It was reported that Suraiya did not like the handling of a bold scene by Dilip Kumar with her and she felt that film’s director was hand in gloves with him because of many retakes of the bold scenes between Dilip Kumar and Suraiya. She felt humiliated and left the shooting in a huff never to return. The film was shelved. ‘Shiqwaa’ (1950s) with Dilip Kumar and Nutan in the lead role was on near completion when the film was stalled due to reported differences between film’s director, Ramesh Saigal and the producer, Makhan Lal Jain of Filmkar Productions. Dilip Kumar was also upset with the producer as he was planning to start a film with more or less the similar story of K Asif’s ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ (1960) which was under production.
3. Lack of film’s qualitative progress: After the filming of few scenes, if the director, especially when he is also the producer, feels unhappy about the way the film is shaping up due to weak script or underperformances of the lead actors, two things can happen during this stage. Either the film is shelved or it is reshot with changes in script or the lead actor/s as the case may be. In the second option, there is a danger of film’s budget getting exceeded. In the absence of alternative funding arrangements, the film may remain incomplete for indefinite period. Guru Dutt’s ‘Gauri’ with Geeta Dutt in the title role in 1957 and ‘Raaz’ with Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman in 1959 were shelved after shooting few scenes when he realised that the films were not shaping well as per his liking.
4. Unforeseen Reasons: Apart from financial and creative risks, the filmmaker also faces some unforeseen problems in completing the film. During the partition in 1947, many Hindi films under productions, both at Mumbai and Lahore were affected due to sudden migration of the main actors and core technicians. Some films remained incomplete while a few of the affected films were remade with new actors. The death of the main actors, producer and director may result in inordinate delay in completng the film. The most talked about film under this reason was K Asif’s ‘Love and God’. After the success of ‘Mughal-E-Azam’ (1960), K Asif started filming ‘Love And God’ with Guru Dutt in the lead role some time in 1962. The film was near its completion when Guru Dutt passed away in October 1964. K Asif started shooting afresh with Sanjeev Kumar. K Asif passed away in 1971 leaving the film abandoned. Finally, K Asif’s wife with the financial help from producer, K C Bokadia decided to revive the film. But before the shooting started, Sanjeev Kumar passed away in 1985. The film was released in incomplete form in 1986. ‘Chaalaak’ was started around 1961 with Raj Kapoor and Madhubala in the lead roles. The film was nearly 50% complete when Madhubala could not report for shooting due to her health issues. The film was delayed. The film got shelved after Madhubala passed away in 1969.
There are some other unforeseen reasons for films to get stalled. Muzaffar Ali’s ‘Zooni’, shooting of which had started in 1988, remained incomplete due to insurgency in Kashmir valley. Tinu Anand’s ‘Shinaakht’ which started shooting in 1988 with Amitabh Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit in the lead roles, was shelved when the director found that the story of the film was almost similar to Manmohan Desai’s ‘Ganga Jamuna Saraswati’ (1988).
5. Films completed but remain unreleased: The reasons for completed films remaining unreleased range from CBFC objections, creative differences between the producer and director, financial/legal disputes, and distributors not showing intererst in releasing the films on commercial consideration. Gulzar’s ‘Libaas’ was completed in 1988. The film’s producer, Vikas Mohan wanted the director, Gulzar to change the film’s climax which he refused. Producer, therefore, decided not to release the film. It was, however, shown in the International Film Festivals. Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Paanch’ (2001) failed to get CBFC certification because of the depiction of excessive violence and use of fowl language. After some cuts, CBFC cleared the film, but it remained unreleased. Muzaffar Ali’s ‘Anjuman’ (1986) remained unreleased as he did not get any film distributor to release the film.
There was a crucial case of the film, ‘Aag Kaa Daryia’ (1991 UR) which was completed after a long delay. The film’s shooting started in 1984 with Dilip Kumar, Rekha, Padmini Kolhapure, Rajiv Kapoor and Amrish Puri. The film was progressing very well under the direction of S V Rajendra Singh Babu when the producer, Venkataraman passed away. It took time to arrange fresh finance for the film during which Rajendra Krishan, the film’s screenplay-dialogue-song writer passed away. The film was completed and got censor certificate in 1991. The film’s trailer was also released. However, at the last moment, one of the financiers/distributors raised the financial disputes which led to the film remaining unreleased. (Source: ‘The Scroll’, 11/12/2022).
In the recent years, due to corporatisation of the film production and distribution, some professionalism has come among the makers and distributors in Hindi film industry. Artists and crew members have become committed to a film with ‘start to finish’ schedules of shooting. With high budget being the order of the day, films are generally produced by a consortium of film production companies to minimise the financial risk. A film is normally completed in less than a year with a planned release date in advance in most of the films under production. With the corporate approach to making films, the number of shelved or incomplete films seems to have been reduced.
‘Behroopiya’ (UR) was one of the shelved films of the early 1960s. Some details of the film were mentioned in the credit titles of ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983) in which one song from ‘Behroopiya’ was used as a part of the story. As per the details, ‘Behroopiya’ was produced by Navinchandra Shah under the banner of Chandra Movie and was directed by Nandlal Jaswantlal. The film had Raj Kapoor and Vyjayantimala in the lead roles. Lyrics for the song was written by Shailendra and and the music director was Shankar-Jaikishan. The film was Chandulal Shah presentation and the year of production was stated to be 1964.
I have a doubt about the 1964 as the year of production of ‘Behroopiya’. Nandalal Jaswantlal passed away sometime in 1961 and Chandulal Shah took over as a director to complete the film, ‘Akeli Mat Jaiyo’ (1963). This suggests that ‘Behroopiya’ was shot sometime in 1960-61. Most probably, the film was left incomplete after the death of its director, Nandlal Jaswantlal and later shelved in the background of the box office failure of ‘Akeli Mat Jaiyo’ (1963). Well, ‘Behroopiya’ may have inspired Raj Kapoor to produce and direct ‘Mera Naam Joker’ (1971).
I am presenting the only song, ‘hans kar hasaa masti mein gaa’ from the shelved film, ‘Behroopiya’ (1961)UR) which was shot for the film. The song was rendered by Manna Dey on the words of Shailendra which was set to music by Shankar-Jaikishan. At 2:33 of the video clip, dancer, Edwina is seen with Raj Kapoor. The song was included as a part of ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983) and Universal Music released the audio clip of the song in 2013.

“Gopinath”(1948) was produced by Brij Kishore Agrawal and directed by Mahesh Kaul for Shanti Lok Chitra Production, Bombay. The movie had Raj Kapoor, Tripti Mitra, Nand Kishore, Latika, Sachin Ghosh, Anwari Bai, Feroz, Niranjan Tiwari, Mahesh Kaul, Randhir, Baby Zubeida etc in it.
This “social” movie had nine songs in it that were penned by three lyricists namely Soordas, Meerabai and Rammurty Chaturvedi. Two of the three “lyricists”, viz Soordas, Meerabai lived hundreds of years ago and their creations could be used without any need to pay any royalties to their descendants.
Three songs have been covered in the past.
Here is the fourth song from “Gopinath”(1948) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Shamshad Begam. Rammurthy Chaturvedi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ninu Majumdar.
Audio as well as video of the song is available. The video has the word Latika printed over it. I wonder if that tells us the name of the lady lip syncing the song. One can see a very young Raj Kapoor playing the patron of the lady.

“Khan Dost”(1976) was directed by Dulal Guha for Ramayan Chitra Mandir, Bombay. The movie had Raj Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha, Mithu Mukherji (new discovery), Satyen Kappu, Sulochana, Asit Sen, Jagdish Raj, Maruti, Prakash, Shekhar Purohit, Rajan Haksar, Duggal, Saminder Pande, Chandulal, Rajrani, Amar Sen, Sameer, Baby Lubna etc, with special appearances by Subhash Ghai, Jagdeep, Sundar, Leela Mishra and Yogita Bali.
The movie had three songs in it. One song has been covered in the past.
Here is the second song from “Khan Dost”(1976) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Manna Dey. Indeewar is the lyricist. Music is composed by Kalyanji Anandji.
The song is picturised as a poignant song on Shatrughan Sinha who plays a prisoner and who is seen looking back at his wasted life with regret in this picturisation. The pictorisation also shows Satyen Kappu playing a jailor and Raj Kapoor playing his subordinate.
Incidentally, Hindi movie jails look like a police station where a prisoner is seen kept behind bars in a small room. That is because Hindi moviemakers cannot differentiate between a police station and a jail. 🙂

kuchh bhi na kamaaya jeevan mein
maine sab kuchh hi ganvaaya
jisne dikhlaai duniya mujhe
us maa ka dil bhi dukhaaya
jis pe hon gunaahon ke saaye
jis pe hon gunaahon ke saaye
wo chain kahaan se paaye
dariya bhi ye daag na dhoye
meri zindagi mujhpe roye ae
roye
main kaam kisi ke na aa saka
main pyaar kisi ka na pa saka
koi aise umr na khoye
meri zindagi mujhpe roye ae
roye
roye
Duniya ne to mujhko chhod diya

Here is the ninth and final song from “Shaarda”(1957) to appear in the blog. This song is picturised as a drunkard song on Raj Kapoor. Those who have seen Mukesh sing a drunkard song in “Jaagte Raho” (1959),could well expect Mukesh to sing this song, but this song is sung by Manna Dey ! Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by C Ranmchandra.
The song situation in this song is rather more sombre than what was the case in “Jaagte Raho” (1959), as far as I can tell. IT is a rather lesser known drunkard song, but it can for that reason, may be regarded as a forgotten gem.
With this song, “Shaarda”(1957) joins the list of movies that have all their songs covered in the blog.

Song-Duniya ne to mujhko chhod diya (Shaarda)(1957) Singer-Manna Dey, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-C Ramchandra
Lyrics
duniya ne to mujhko chhod diya
khoob kiya
arey khoob kiya
botal ki taraf munh mod diya
botal ki taraf munh mod diya
khoob kiya arrey ae khoob kiya
wo ghadiyaan khawaab ki ghadiyaan thhin een een
mai jin ghadiyo mein jaaga tha
duniya ki khushi ek saaya thhi
duniya ki khushi ek saaya thhi
main jiski lagan mein bhaaga thha
main jiski lagan mein bhaaga thha
paanvon ko jo mere tod diya
khoob kiya
arrey khoob kiya
botal ki taraf munh mod diya
khoob kiya
arrey ae khoob kiya
jab mujhse zamaana door hua aa aa aa aa
jab mujhse zamaana door hua
botal ne kaha
bataaun kya kaha
nahin bataata
achcha bataata hoon
har dard ke mare ko ek din
to padti hai zaroorat to meri
padti hai zaroorat to meri
toote huye dil ko jod diya
khoob kiya
arrey khoob kiya
duniya ne to mujhko chhod diya
khoob kiya
arrey ae khoob kiya

Hullo atulites
As I said once before, November is the month of birthdays of some Miss Indias who went on to be actors in the Hindi film industry. We have had Juhi Chawla’s & Meenakshi Sheshadri’s birthdays already. The next to grow a year older is Zeenie baby as she used to be fondly addressed as for a short period of time.

This is a song from a Raj-Nargis film Bewafa-52 and it is sung by Talat Mahmood.
It is not very common that Talat sang for Raj Kapoor. Raj was convinced that only the voice of Mukesh suited him, so in all the films that he produced or directed, he used to try using Mukesh for his songs. However,as a true Professional, if he were to work for some other producer or under a different Director, he followed the policy of strict Non-interference. So, in such films, we see other singers giving playback to Raj Kapoor, depending on the choice of the producer or director. Talat sang a total of ten songs for Raj Kapoor in 4 films, as following-
