Hullo Atuldom

Back after a gap of around one & half months.

Have been so active, doing various other activities, that for the first time, since 2009 (when I discovered the blog) and 2012 (when my first post appeared on the blog), I missed a few milestones (the 17,700th post) on the day it was posted. Also missed a post by Sudhir ji, which featured a song which I simply love to see “Wo Ladki Hai Kahaan“.

Also I missed writing posts on a few occasions for which I had drafts ready in my mind, but could not get down to writing or typing them. Occasions like the Hindu New Year (call them by any name- Ugadi, Vishu, Baishakhi, Cheti Chand etc.), birthdates and anniversaries of a few favourite celebs (Sachin Tendulkar, Rishi Kapoor, Irfan Khan, etc). Of course, there were posts on these special dates, just that I have been catching up on them over the last few days.

This last month and half, I have been attending a few weddings and landmark birthdays of my brothers & beloved Aunty (‘Kaaki‘ sounds more personal than Aunty). That meant hurried trips to Kerala & Mumbai (twice), and three days in Chennai. I managed to meet Guru ji on my first trip to Mumbai, but could spend only an hour with him. And saw he was preparing for his book ‘Forgotten Artists of Early Cinema and The Same name Confusion’ release.  Feel so proud that I know him.

Getting to the purpose of this post- 3rd May is a special date in the annals of Indian Film Industry. It was on this date, in the year 1913, that Dadasaheb Phalke’s ‘Raja Harishchandra’, the  first full length feature film produced in India, was premiered at Coronation Theater in Bombay. (The first ever film, projected moving pictures, was presented by the Lumiere Brothers in December 1895 in Paris, France).

Starting from that screening of the silent film ‘Raja Harishchandra’ till today, it is 110 years. We have had hundreds & thousands films made in almost all the Indian languages possible. There have been instances of films borrowing story ideas from our mythologies, folklore etc. Stories of India’s freedom struggle, biographies of leaders who were at the forefront at that time. The films made in India have converted novels, books into moving images that have left a permanent imprint in the minds of the enthralled fans. The list of ideas on which films are based are as varied as the framework of our country.

I have never felt the need to see films made in any other country, never had time to discover anything else. Of course, there have been a few English films that have crept into my list of films seen in my lifetime, these may add up to 15/20. But, largely, I have relished films made in Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu etc. In the days when Doordarshan was the sole home-entertainment source, I have even seen films in Gujarati, Bengali & Punjabi.

I know for sure that films were initially made in Lahore, Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, Kolhapur, Poona etc. Post 1947, Bombay, Madras & Calcutta (don’t know about Kolhapur & Poona) were the movie making centres with most South Indian language films being made in Madras. I am not sure about when Kerala, Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka and other states set up their own film cities. (I am expecting answers to all my doubts from the knowledgeable Atulites).

Just as story-ideas were exchanged between the films of all the languages, actors from one region were seen in films of other regions. That trend still continues.

Similarly, there has been a trend of bilinguals & trilinguals (movies made in two or three languages simultaneously) that is accepted by the audiences. And finally there are dubbed versions of popular films too. Even, this system has not been given up, and so we have ‘KGF’ (essentially a Kannada film), ‘RRR’ (Telugu), ‘Bombay’ (Tamil), ‘Roja’ (Tamil) being brought to the notice of the Hindi audiences by dubbing them. I would love to add instances of films from other languages too , but I am ignorant of these. I know for sure that ‘English Vinglish’, ‘Dil Se’, ‘PK’ have been dubbed into south Indian languages.

To celebrate the birthday of the Indian Film Industry I have chosen a song from the film ‘Doli Saja ke Rakhna’ (1998). This is Priyadarshan remaking Fazil’s (who normally made movies in Tamil and Malayalam) ‘Aniyathi Pravu’ (which directly translates as ‘Younger Sister Dove’). ‘Aniyathi Praavu’ was remade as ‘Premisthunnanu’ in Telugu, ‘Kadhalukku Mariyadhai’ in Tamil & ‘Preethigagi’ in Kannada. This is what made me feel ‘DSKR’ was an eligible option to celebrate the Indian Film Industry. It has Anupam Kher, Moushumi Chatterjee, Aruna Irani, Paresh Rawal, Mohnish Behl, Tej Sapru, Ninad Kamat, Suresh Menon, Umesh Shukla playing the family and friends to Akshaye Khanna and Jyothika. Amrish Puri had a special appearance in this film. Malayalam actor Innocent Vareed Thekkethala,  known mononymously as Innocent, also made his Hindi debut in this film.

‘DSKR’ is also the debut film of Jyothika who was born in Mumbai in 1978. She starred in many South Indian films and became very popular too.

I would like to put in a few words about Innocent. He was a versatile actor who graced the Malayalam screen from 1972 and was seen playing characters that mostly brought a smile on the viewers face. He made an excellent foil, co-actor to all his co-stars and his pairing with KPAC Lalitha (who passed away in 2022) was well-received. His career of close to 700 films featured Tamil & Kannada films too. There were two Hindi films also, both made by Priyadarshan. He was also a writer, film producer and a politician. Innocent, who was born on 28th February 1948 died recently, on 26th March at the age of 75. He was a cancer survivor who took ill on 3rd March and died three weeks later. We can see him in today’s song in the uniform of an Army Colonel.

Today’s song is sung by Babul Supriyo & Srinivas. (Again meeting of artists from two regions). The song is composed by AR Rehman and written by Mehboob Kotwal (who is always credited as Mehboob).

Lyrics (Provided by Sudhir)

ye khoya khoya rehta hai
ye din mein soya soya rehta hai
ye raaton mein uth uth ke yahi gaata hai
wo le gai dil
tarram pum tarram pum tarramm pumm
chalo usko dhoondhenge hum
pari hai wo hai hoor koi
jo dhaaya hai itna sitam
nahin wo to kuchh aur hi hai
kahen kya yaaro tumse hum
tarram pum tarram pum tarramm pumm
chalo usko dhoondhenge hum

itni haseenon mein
chhupi ik aisi haseena hai
ke moti seep mein ho jaise
angoothi mein ho
nageena koi wo
dekha hai tumne
kaho kya usko
ho o o o
jaise nageena koi wo
dekha hai tumne
kaho kya usko oo oo oo
tarram pum tarram pum tarramm pumm
chalo usko dhoondhenge hum
pari hai wo hai hoor koi
jo dhaaya hai itna sitam
nahin wo to kuchh aur hi hai
kahen kya yaaro tumse hum
tarram pum tarram pum tarramm pumm
chalo usko dhoondhenge hum

tarram pum tarram pum tarramm pumm
tarram pum pum pum pum pum pumm
tarram pum tarram pum tarramm pumm
tarram pum pum pum pum pum pumm

doodh si rangat hai
dhuli ho chaandni se jaise
kamal ke jaisi nazaakat hai
karishma hai wo
khuda hi ka to jo
dekha hai tumne
kaho kya usko oo oo
jaise karishma hai wo
dekha hai tumne
kaho kya usko oo oo oo
tarram pum tarram pum tarramm pumm
chalo usko dhoondhenge hum
pari hai wo hai hoor koi
jo dhaaya hai itna sitam
nahin wo to kuchh aur hi hai
kahen kya yaaro tumse hum
tarram pum tarram pum tarramm pumm
chalo usko dhoondhenge hum
pari hai wo hai hoor koi
jo dhaaya hai itna sitam

ये खोया खोया रहता है
ये दिन में सोया सोया रहता है
ये रातों में उठ उठ के यही गाता है
वो ले गई दिल
तर्रम पम तर्रम पम तर्रम्म पम्म
चलो उसको ढूँढेंगे हम
परी है वो है हूर कोई
जो ढाया है इतना सितम
नहीं वो तो कुछ और ही है
कहें क्या यारो तुमसे हम
तर्रम पम तर्रम पम तर्रम्म पम्म
चलो उसको ढूँढेंगे हम

इतनी हसीनों में
छुपी इक ऐसी हसीना है
के मोती सीप में हो जैसे
अंगूठी में हो
नगीना कोई वो
देखा है तुमने
कहो क्या उसको
हो ओ ओ ओ
जैसे नगीना कोई वो
देखा है तुमने
कहो क्या उसको ओ ओ ओ
तर्रम पम तर्रम पम तर्रम्म पम्म
चलो उसको ढूँढेंगे हम
परी है वो है हूर कोई
जो ढाया है इतना सितम
नहीं वो तो कुछ और ही है
कहें क्या यारो तुमसे हम
तर्रम पम तर्रम पम तर्रम्म पम्म
चलो उसको ढूँढेंगे हम

तर्रम पम तर्रम पम तर्रम्म पम्म
तर्रम पम पम पम पम पम पम्म
तर्रम पम तर्रम पम तर्रम्म पम्म
तर्रम पम पम पम पम पम पम्म

दूध सी रंगत है
धुली हो चाँदनी से जैसे
कमाल के जैसी नज़ाकत है
करिश्मा है वो
खुदा ही का तो जो
देखा है तुमने
कहो क्या उसको ओ ओ
जैसे करिश्मा है वो
देखा है तुमने
कहो क्या उसको ओ ओ ओ
तर्रम पम तर्रम पम तर्रम्म पम्म
चलो उसको ढूँढेंगे हम
परी है वो है हूर कोई
जो ढाया है इतना सितम
नहीं वो तो कुछ और ही है
कहें क्या यारो तुमसे हम
तर्रम पम तर्रम पम तर्रम्म पम्म
चलो उसको ढूँढेंगे हम
परी है वो है हूर कोई
जो ढाया है इतना सितम
