Today’s song is from the film Aplam Chaplam-1961.
This film was directed by Roop K. Shorey, under the banner of Mukul Pictures, Bombay.
Whenever the name of Roop Shorey comes across, I always remember the title of an Asrani film “Hum nahi Sudhrenge”-1980. It’s the title of the film , not its story, which applied 100 % to Roop Shorey- the director of today’s film. He lived perhaps, like a patient of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).
In his career he directed 18 Talkie films + 1 Silent film. From 1935 to 1946 he made 6 films on different stories, but when his film Ek Thi Ladki-01949 became a huge Hit, his mind had only that story. He always felt that any film he made using the same story (with variations) would be successful. Unfortunately his audience did not think the same way and his films which used to be on the same story and the same comedy pair of Johar and Majnu (real name Harold Lewis) failed miserably. His wife Meena Shorey migrated to Pakistan leaving him in India and his life was a story of loneliness,misery and failure. Ironically, many years later 2 directors, Manmohan Desai and Nasir Hussain came up with just one story each and made several successful films on the same story, like nobody’s business !
Because of Roop K.Shorey, even I.S.Johar and Majnu started thinking that they are the best comedy pair like Laurel and Hardy ! They acted together in many films. In film Ek thi ladki-49, their names were Mohan-Sohan, in film Hum sab chor hain-56 their names were Dukhiram-Sukhiram and in film Aplam-Chaplam-61 their names were Aplam and Chaplam. Luckily Johar realized the reality and he paired with Mehmood in later films.
Roop K Shorey was known in industry circles as the wizard of comedy. Born on 28-1-1914 in Quetta, Balochistan, with a silver spoon in his mouth, and raised by an English governess, Roop K Shorey acquired an early interest in Western music and English literature. As a child, he was a prolific writer and composer, and followed in the footsteps of his father Roshanlal Shorey in making his first full-length comedy “Lucky Lovers” at the age of 17.
Roop’s next venture was Majnu (1935) — a musical comedy satirising the old story of Laila Majnu, produced, directed and shot in Lahore with Ghulam Haider as music director. Playing the lead was Roop’s childhood friend Harold Lewis, who has since been known by his screen name Majnu. With daring motorbike stunts and special effects, audiences were thrilled at the sight of Majnu trapped on the railway tracks by the villain. The film confirmed his success as a film-maker, and audiences leaving the first show lifted him on their shoulders and danced joyously.
Roop’s next film, Tarzan ki Beti (1938) was hailed as the best jungle picture ever produced in India at the time. Filmed in the snowy Himalayas, the film topped its predecessor in its action sequences and placedPunjab on the entertainment map of India and the world. Majnu made a marked return in Nishani (1942), a musical situational comedy with Majnu in a double role. With music scored by Pandit Amaranth, and Ragini as the heroine, Roop and his father personally trained the technical staff and musicians, who worked morning to night on a fixed salary.
With a solid reputation in Hindi and Punjabi cinema already established, Roop began to set new trends in comedy films with Ek Thi Ladki (1949, starring Motilal, Meena Shorey, Kuldeep Kaur, Majnu and introducing I S Johar. One of Roop’s biggest hits as a producer, it launched Meena Shorey’s acting career, known by her screen name as Lara Lappa girl, and I S Johar’s popularity as a comedian. With Partition, Roop and his family lost their film empire in Lahore, but they shifted to Bombay and tenaciously continued as before. In the meantime,Roop had married Meena. In the years following independence, he produced Dr Chaman (Punjabi), starring Meena Shorey, Karan Dewan, Om Prakash and Kuldeep Kaur, Dholak (1951), with Meena Shorey and Ajit in the lead-role, and Ek Do Teen (1953) starring the by-now-familiar Motilal-Meena team.
Roop specialised in the pure situational comedy in which the characters were ready to laugh at themselves rather than take pleasure at laughing at others. R K Karanjia, writing for Blitz in 1953, called Roop `The King of Comedy’, and litterateur Mulk Raj Anand paid him an eloquent tribute.
Roop could never duplicate the success of Ek thi Ladki, but he was obsessed with the story and went on trying that same formula in many of his films, without much success. He considered I S Johar and Majnu as his Lucky Mascot and repeated them in the same role in many films. Meena had migrated to Pakistan despite his protests. He too had gone with her, but returned alone. Meena kept coming to India to work in films here. She used to even stay with Roop Shorey. Then she went back to Pakistan never to come back. She died in absolute poverty and neglect in Pakistan.
Starting with Majnu in 1935 Roop directed a total of 18 films. His last directed film was Ek thi Reeta-71. In Pakistan,he had directed the film ‘Miss 56’, in which his then wife Meena Shorey was the Heroine. The film was a copy of ‘Mr. and Mrs 55’ made by Guru Dutt,in India.
Roop soon relinquished his directorial responsibilities, but continued to produce full-length comedies throughout the sixties, including Aplam Chaplam (1961), Main Shadi Karne Chala (1962), Akalmand (1966). In 1971, he produced Ek Thi Rita, a smash hit based on the English play A Girl Called Rita, which launched new talents Vinod Mehra, Yog Raj, Kumar, Madhvi and Pompi.
Despite the closing of Shorey Studios in Lahore, Roop’s popularity in Punjabi cinema continued throughout the Partition. Among the Punjabi pictures directed by Roop were Dulla Bhatti, Koel and Mangti. Mangti became very popular for its situational music scored by Govindram, its witty dialogues and healthy humor. This film broke all records of previous Hindi and Punjabi films, running for over 75 weeks in one cinema hall at Lahore. It gained a profit of over 15 lakh, an enormous sum in the forties. Roop Shorey, who passed away at the age of 56, on 3-6-1973, will always be remembered for his serious approach to a genre known for its lightheartedness. ( adapted with thanks from an Indian Express article.)
APLAM CHAPLAM-1961 was yet another attempt by Roop K Shorey to relive the magic of Ek thi Ladki-1949. Throughout his life he was obsessed with this one theme only. Additionally he would invariably take I.S.Johar and Majnu, whom he considered as his mascots. Johar considered this pair as “Bob Hope and Bing Crosby ” of India.
In this film again the story was written by Johar on the same lines with minor changes.
Aplam(Johar) and Chaplam(Majnu) are small-time crooks. One day they bring a beautiful girl Lajwanti(Kum kum) from an orphanage with a promise to make her a big film star. They set up a Theatre and arrange Lajo’s dances. They make a lot of money.
Ramesh(Ravinder Kapoor), a young man from a town, comes to the city to invest some money. This jodi catches him and invests (swallow) his money in the theatre. Lajo and Ramesh fall in love. Actually Lajo is an orphan with her aunt in a village, who sends her to an orphanage to save her from her own husband Biharilal(Tiwari). When Biharilal learns from the aunt where Lajo is, he comes to the city to get her, as she is an heiress to a great fortune. He contacts Aplam Chaplam to get to Lajo. Meanwhile Ramesh and Lajo are separated due to a misunderstanding.
When the crooks realise that Biharilal wants to kill Lajo, they decide to save her and in the process also repent and reform. In the end Lajo is saved, Biharilal goes to jail and Lajo and Ramesh get reunited and Aplam-Chaplam become Lajo’s Estate Managers.
The cast of the film was I.S.Johar, Majnu, Kumkum, Ravindra kapoor, Badriprasad, Tun Tun, mrudula, kathana and others. In this list you can see the name of an actress, Mrudula. Not many readers will remember who she was. For your information , Mrudula was the FIRST heroine of Dilip Kumar in his Debut film ” Jwar Bhata”-1944, We all know what height Dilip Kumar reached in Hindi films, but Mrudula was a victim of her contract with Bombay Talkies. Here is her story…….
Mrudula ( real name Chandrakanta) was born on 2-11-1924 at Almora, but was educated in Delhi. When she was in college doing her graduation, Amiya Chakravarty of Bombay Talkies came to Delhi on a Talent Hunt. He contacted her and gave her an offer. She signed a 5 year contract with Bombay Talkies and Devika Rani became her Mentor, teaching her everything. She was paid 2500 rupees salary with a furnished house. Her first film was “Jwar Bhata”-44, opposite another Debutant Dilip Kumar (Yousuf Khan). After Himanshu Rai’s death, Bombay Talkies was already in disarray. Many people had left the company due to differences with Devika Rai. A group of them formed Filmistan.
She got married to her lover Mr. G C Andley. However the marriage was unsuccessful and she went back to Delhi. She spent a miserable life selling whatever she had to survive. She got divorce and came back to Bombay to work in films, in 1954. She worked in 53 films in all. Her last released film was Saboot-80, though she had married again and retired some time before that.
Mrudula was also a victim of her contract with Bombay Talkies. It destroyed her career as a Heroine forever. Devika Rani was her Mentor in Bombay Talkies. However, after Himanshu Rai’s death, no one was listening to her in the company due to groupism. Disgusted, Devika rani left Bombay Talkies,having sold all the shares. Mridula got stuck in the company without work, due to her 5 year contract. It was Vijay Bhatt of Prakash Pictures who somehow convinced Bombay Talkies to loan her to him and she got roles in 2 of their films. In the film ‘Bhakta Dhruva”-47, she played mother to 16 year old Shashi kapoor (sr) when she herself was about 23 year old only ! But she had no choice. The film and her role became famous, but she lost her chances of becoming Heroine in any film thereafter.
Till 30-9-2016 she was living in worli, Mumbai all alone. Her only daughter stayed nearby and looked after her. There is no news about her anymore.
All the 7 songs of this film were written by Prem Dhavan and the music was by the Melody King- Chitragupt. Today’s lovely song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
Song-Hum dar pe tere jab aa hi gaye (Aplam Chaplam)(1961) Singer- Lata Mangeshkar, Lyricist-Prem Dhavan, MD-Chitragupt
Lyrics

humse hi kaha na gaya
kuchh keh na sake

andaaz tere hain niraale
hum dar pe tere jab aa hi gaye
thhukraa naa hamen dilwaale
hum dar pe tere ae ae
ye hai chaakoo ye hai chhuri

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
Today’s song is from the movie “Saara Jahaan Hamaara-1961”.
Three songs from this movie have been posted on the blog earlier. I do not remember to have heard the song associated with this movie name earlier. I had not read also about this movie earlier till the preparation of this post.
“Saara Jahaan Hamaara-1961” was directed by Prakash Chhabra for ‘India Films’.
It had Premnath, Shyama, Heeralal, Rajeshwari, Azra, Jankidas, Majnu, Ajay Kumar and others.
Here is brief information about this movie provided by Shri Arunkumar ji in his comments on a song from this movie posted on the blog earlier.
SARA JAHAN HAMARA-1961 was a film when Premnath as a hero was becoming a misfit, due to his age. As such he had started accepting some character roles also.
An India Films movie, it was directed by Prakash Chhabda, who had earlier directed one flop film Shahzada in 1955.The music was by Babul(of the Bipin-Babul jodi) and the lyrics were by Anjum Jaipuri and Kaamil Chandpuri.Mangal (Premnath) is a deadly criminal. When he comes, even the police are afraid. An orphan, Vagabond and gunda mangal is a Terror. But this same Mangal is very kind to the poor, helpless and orphans. He gives free foods and medicines to the needy. He is treated like God by the downtrodden people.
he accidentally comes to know about a sex racket, in which the main criminal head of the Racket’Seth ji'(Heeralal) trades poor good-looking girls who are helpless.A chance meeting with Rama(Shyama),and he comes to know of a plan to deport few girls to dubai for immoral purpose. Seth ji also tries his hand at one of the girls when mangal appears there and kills him, setting the girls free. Chhabili, Katari and other girls call him their brother. But the ruthless police arrest him, make a case and send him to 7 yrs’ jail.
When he comes out he is welcomed with flowers and Rama is still waiting for him.
Premnath preferred roles which were like Robin Hood. He enjoyed such roles.
“Saara Jahaan Hamaara-1961” has seven songs. Four of them were written by Anjum Jaipuri and one by Kaamil Chaandpuri. Lyricist name for one song is not mentioned in HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970).
Going through the song-titles doesn’t ring any bell for me. I only find one song a little familiar one which is ‘ye phoolon ka gajraa, ye mera singaar’. However it seems that all the other songs of this movie are ‘new’ to me.
Here is the list of songs of this movie:-
| SNo | Song Title | Lyricist | Singer/s | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Haaye main mar gayin | Khawar Zamaan | Sudha Malhotra | |
| 02 | Yahaan jo jhhoothh bolega wahi noton se khelega | Not mentioned | Asha Bhonsle, Mohd Rafi | |
| 03 | Dil bechten hain, jigar bechten hain | Anjum Jaipuri | Shamshad Begam, Mahendra Kapoor, chorus | |
| 04 | Bhare hain aankh mein aansoo | Anjum Jaipuri | Asha Bhonsle, Mukesh | 29.02.2012 |
| 05 | Ye hain chaaku ye hai chhoori, ye hain kainchi | … Anjum Jaipuri | Asha Bhonsle | |
| 06 | Ye phoolon ka gajraa, ye mera singaar | Anjum Jaipuri | Suman Kalyanpur | 25.07.2013 |
| 07 | Hai ye zameen hamaari wo aasmaan hamaaara | Kaamil Chaandpuri | Mukesh | 22.07.2020 |
As mentioned above three songs from this movie have been posted on the blog earlier.This song is the fourth song from this movie to be posted on the blog.
This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. The song is picturised on Shyama (I guess). This song seems to be picturised near ‘Bombay Chowpati’. I cannot say if I can call it as ‘sales-pitch’ song or not. (?)
Lyrics are by Anjum Jaipuri.
Music is composed by Babul.
Below is brief information about music director Babul shared by our respected Shri Arunkumar ji, in his comments on the same song mentioned earlier above.
Syed Maqbul Babul was an assistant to Madan Mohan for a long time. His speciality was making melodious tunes.
Independently, he gave music to 5 films-
Chalis din-59
Mujrim kaun khooni kaun-65
Reshmi Rumal-61
Nakli Nawab-62 and
Sara jahan hamara-61Many of his songs became famous,e.g. ‘ main deewaana mastana-Mukesh,40 din, Gardish mein ho taare-mukesh, reshmi Rumaal and ‘sarpe chunariya kaali motiyan wali’ etc.also ‘chheda jo dil ka tarana-rafi, Nakli Naqab.
He also acted as a Choreographer in the film ‘Ek baar muskura do’-1972.
After this he migrated to Pakistan and died there penniless in 1995.
He did a better and more fulfilling work as a jodi of Bipin-Babul.
Let us now listen to this song which is sung by Asha Bhonsle and is picturised on Shyama.
Lyrics for this song were sent by Prakashchandra.

A total of 33 songs were posted in that week, at an average of about 4.7 songs per day. The pageant of the calendar covered is four decades – from 1936 to 1976. Break up of films by decade is as follows,
1930s – 2 (Both from 1936)
1940s – 1 (Jugnu, 1947)
1950s – 12
1960s – 9
1979s – 9
No film got repeated and so we covered 33 films during that week, Well actually, it is 32 films and 1 NFS. The NFS was a song by CH Atma.
As many as 9 films made their debut that week. And yes, 2 films got Yippeee’d in that week – ‘Duniya’ (1968) and ‘Aap Ki Kasam’ (1974). Just as an aside, I did a quick check on the Yippeee status of films, till that week. When the week started, we were 3 years, 11 months and 7 days ahead of the blog initiation date of 19 July, 2008. Want to take a guess as to how many films had been Yippeee’d till then? I myself was a little surprised at the number. By that date, we had already Yippeee’d 135 films on the blog. Majority of this list is from the 1950s and 1960s. Surprise item is that there is one film from 1939. Besides, there are 12 films from 1940s, and 17 films from 1970s. The remaining 105 films are from the two decades of 50s and 60s. We were 6,133 posts old on 26th June.
The week saw two major milestone achieved. On 28th June, with the song “Beech Bajariya Mori Chunariya Sar Se Sarki Jaaye” from film ‘Khoobsurat’ of 1952, SH Behari arrived at his first century milestone. He had made his debut on the blog on 1st December, 2008, and completed his first century in a little more than three and a half years. On 30th June, with the song “Koi Bechaara” from the film ‘Sannata’ of 1966, Lata Mangeshkar breached the 1,800 mark on the blog.
Of all the 33 films that were showcased that week, 25 have been Yippeee’d since then. Seven films continue to be tagged with ‘Pending’ status. One film, ‘Tangaawaali’ from 1955 carries the conditional Yippeee tag. Of the 9 songs in this film, 7 are already posted here. However two songs are not released on 78rpm record. The video of the film has not yet surfaced on public domain. So we tag those two songs as untraceable (UT). And pending their discovery, we tag the film with the status as conditionally Yippeee’d (Yc).
During this current week, two songs of pending films in this week have been posted as part of the ten year challenge series. One song from the 1973 film ‘Jheel Ke Us Paar’ – “Haaye Bichhua Das Gayo Re”, was posted by Avinash ji on 27th June, and actually Yippeee’d that film too. And just a little while ago today, Atul ji has posted the song “Kaaraj Ki Jyot Sadaa Hi Jarey” from the 1936 film ‘Amar Jyoti’. So the numbers given above get modified as pending films reduced to 6 and the number of Yippeee’d films now is 26.
And with the song that I bring to the blog in this post, these numbers will change once again. This song is from the 1961 film ‘Hum Matwaale Naujawaan’. This film so far has only one song remaining to be posted. With this post on the blog, the film will also get Yippeee’d. Pending films list is further reduced to 5 and the Yippeee’d films number increases to 27.
The song is a real gem – a vintage Chitragupt creation. The music director is well known for his melodious commpositions. And this song is a very fine example of his creativity and talent. I listened to this song today, after tons of years, jiggling my memory of the radio listening days. And I am surprised that this melody has been waiting in the wings for so long. This film made its debut here on 28th October, 2010. The previous posted song (fifth one from the film) came on to the blog on 29th September, 2018. The final song of the film comes on board today, after more than eleven and a half years of its debut.
The song is such an endearing duet of Lata and Usha Mangeshkar. The lyrics are from the pen of Mahjrooh Sb.
The words of the song indicate as being a male-female duet. But since it is sung as a all female duet, it is possible that this duet may be a performance by two actresses on screen, one taking the role of the male person. The male person is trying to woo the lady and invites her to visit his alley, And the lady appears to be putting up a refusal to the gentleman’s advances.
A very lively melody, that is a hallmark of Chitragupt’s music. Jiggling memories of the wonderful music that we used to enjoy on the radio.
Listen and enjoy.

Blog Day : |

Today’s song is from the film ‘Kismat Palat Ke Dekh’ (1961).
Generally, I like to write on films from the 30’s to the 50’s decade, which is my comfort zone. I feel homely and on friendly ground when I write about those old films. Films after 1960 are NOT a ‘ NO- NO ‘ for me, but unless I find either the film or the song interesting, I normally do not choose that song. That way and to allay any misunderstanding in our readers’ minds, let me stress here that I have written more than 200 posts on films from 1960 to 2013 also. Actually since there is still so much scope in the first 3 decades of talkie films, turning to the films of 60+ songs is not that common.
Just for my own information, I was curious about when was the last song from the 60’s discussed by me. I took out my long books wherein I first hand write my articles, backwards from my post on the 12th June 2022. I was surprised to find that my last song-post for a film of 1962 (‘Sautela Bhai’) was on 6-12-2020 ! That’s a cool gap of 176 posts in between !!
The usual question comes as to what is an ‘Old Film’ ? It all depends on the person’s age who wants to know the answer. Over a period of last so many years I got the following answer….
| For a Person Aged | An Old Film is From |
|---|---|
| 20-30 years | films of and prior to 1990 |
| 30-40 | 1980 |
| 40-50 | 1970 |
| 50-60 | 1960 |
| 60-70 | 1950 |
| 70-80 | 1940 |
| 80++ | 1930 |
For youngsters of 20-30 years, songs of 1930 are antiques, 1940’s are Grandpa’s choices, 50 & 60’s are Dad’s favorites and 70 & 80’s are very old songs ! So, one can see the connection between the age and the period of film songs to label it differently !
Now coming to today’s song ‘Kismat Palat Ke Dekh’ (KPKD) was a costume/stunt drama. The title of this film has an interesting history behind it.
During the 30’s and the 40’s there was a comedian named Noor Mohammed. Based on his role as Charlie Chaplin including his dress, mustache, hat, stick, talk and walk, he was nicknamed as Charlie. There was a time when this Charlie was extremely popular all over India. He used to sing his own songs too. He became so famous and popular that films were sold in his name . He started to get special songs shot on him in almost every film – much before Johnny Walker in the 50s. He sang his own songs. He left Ranjit Studios and was the first actor to become a ‘free-lance‘ breaking the studio system. Some of his films and songs therein were famous all over India. In the film ‘Sanjog’ (1943), he sang “Palat, Tera Dhyan Kidhar Hai“. This line became so famous that young boys in colleges used this line for calling girls, in those days. In the film ‘Dhandhora’ (1941), he sang “Ek Do Teen Char Paanch Chhe Saat Aath Nau Dus Gyara Bara,Teri Nazar Ne Mujhe Mara“. Raj Kapoor used “Ek Do Teen Aaja Mausam Hai Rangeen” (film ‘Awaara’ (1951)) and later Madhuri Dixit’s “Ek Do Teen” (film ‘Tezaab’ (1988)) became very famous. In the film ‘Taqdeer’ (1943) he sang ”Thank You, Mention Not” and “I Am Very Very Sorry”. These too became popular.
Based on Charlie’s song “Palat, Tera Dhyan Kidhar Hai” this film’s title was finalized as ‘Zara Palat Ke Dekh’. For reasons unknown to others, the Censor board objected to this title and asked the makers to change it. After a lot of arguments, the makers finally had to change it to ‘Kismat Palat Ke Dekh’. I have seen this film. Neither the original nor the revised title had any connection with the story of the film.
This was the first and the only film directed by actor CS aka Chandrashekhar Dubey. I could not get enough information about Dubey from anywhere. He used to live somewhere in the Seven Bungalows area of Andheri west, where I have been living since long time. I used to see him along with his friends sitting in a hotel nearby sometimes. After searching a lot, I came across a short note on him by Mr. MN Sardana ji on the FB page of ‘Wo Din Yaad Karo’. For our readers, I reproduce it here after adapting and adding my information to it from my notes.
Chandrashekhar Dubey aka C Dubey was born on 4-9-1924 at Village Kannod of Dewas District in the then Central Provinces (now Madhya Pradesh). During his college education, he was very active in politics and had been in jail during the Quit India movement too. He had his quota of struggle, when he arrived at Mumbai to become someone .
Luckily he found his Godfather in film maker Amiya Chakraborty, who noticed him and took him under his wings. Dubey, became his Man Friday. He was spot boy, production executive, prompter and assistant director all rolled into one, besides doing small roles in the films made by Mars & Movies and other production Houses . His first film was ‘Devdaasi’ (1945).
Filmmaker Guru Dutt gave him the role of a doctor in ‘Mr & Mrs 55’ (1955), which got him much needed publicity. In the famous movie ‘Seema’, made by his mentor Amiya Chakraborty, Dubey was assigned the role of a street ruffian cum thief, who made the life of heroine Nutan miserable. People found Dubey quite amusing and he became a full time actor. In 1957 Amiya Chakraborty passed away suddenly due to heart attack, leaving his movie ‘Kathputli’ incomplete, which was completed by Nitin Bos. Totally dedicated to his late master Amiya Chakraborty, Dubey did not leave the company. Ajit Chakraborty took the reins of the company and made ‘Ardhangini’ in 1959 and ‘Apne Huye Paraye’ in 1964 and Dubey gave him his full support and services.
While he was established as a character actor, he now wanted to exhibit his other skills by directing a film He got a chance in 1960 to direct a light hearted entertaining movie ‘Zara Palat Ke Dekh’. It was a modest movie and had an experienced artist Anoop Kumar And a new bee Preeti Bala as lead players. Anoop Kumar had appeared in many movies in supporting roles and had done a variety of roles like hero, comedian, villain and sympathetic roles. In the 1952 movie ‘Rani’, which was made by Jupiter Pictures, Madras and directed by LV Prasad , he did a swashbuckling role of a warrior, opposite the great actress of South Bhanumathi, who was a versatile singer also.
Preeti Bala was raw and had only a faint idea about acting. Instead of changing the style of acting, she changed her name as Zeb Rehman, which did not bring any change to her destiny. She was in news during sixties when she did body double of Madhubala in few movies like ‘Half Ticket’, ‘BoyFriend’ and ‘Passport’, since Madhubala was ailing and it was not possible for her to attend the shooting. The movie ‘Zara Palat Ke Dekh’ had music by Gunjan. The movie, when completed and sold, faced a big hurdle, when Censor Board refused to certify the movie. Their main objection was related to the title of the film, which they found offensive and denigrating. Producer tried to justify the title, but our prude and adamant Censor Board refused to budge and insisted on changing the title. Since publicity material including lobby cards were already printed, film makers reluctantly renamed the movie as ‘Kismat Palat Ke Dekh’. The movie when released in 1961, did not do good for any one and all those connected with the movie were disappointed. Since the movie had flopped, it poured cold water on the ambition of music composer Gunjan, director Dubey and the lead players. Producers duo Nanda and Gupta after losing substantial money downed the shutter of their company.
CS Dubey was a good character actor. He acted in 196 films. His last film was ‘Antim Nyay’ (1993). He died on 28-9-1993, but after his death, his 8 films were released – the last one being ‘Yaar Meri Zindagi’ (2008).
(Thanks to Mr. M.N.Sardana ji).
The film’s music director was Gunjan. Who was Gunjan? Most people do not know that Gunjan was another name under which singer/composer GM Durrani gave music. As Gunjan he also gave music to film ‘State Express’ (1961). Earlier in his career, he gave music to films like ‘Angoori’ (1943), ‘Vijayalaxmi’ (1943) and ‘Dhadkan’ (1946) under his real name.
The cast of the film was Anoop Kumar, Preeti Bala (aka Zeb Rehman), Durga Khote, Daljit, Iftikhar, Majnu, Polson, Dalda, Jeevankala etc.
‘Kismat Palat Ke Dekh’ was truly an obscure movie. It was clearly a B grade film with the appropriate star cast. The Hero Anoop kumar was in double role in this film (as if one Anoop was not enough !).
The film was produced by Balendra Gupta and NC Nanda, under the banner of Movie Hits (indicating hopes), and was directed by CS Dubey or Chandrashekhar Dubey, a small time actor in those days. Dubey was a veteran, having started his career from the 30s and he used his knowledge of old films in this.The original title of this film was ‘Zara Palat Ke Dekh’.
Later on the title was changed to ‘Kismat Palat Ke Dekh’. However neither the audience ‘zara bhi palat ke dekh’ nor their kismet changed jara bhi !
The lyricists were Akhtar Romani and Sadiq Nazmi. Story and screenplay by Sri Prakash and Dialogues by Suman Romani.
The story of the film was….
The story had nothing remarkable and it was highly predictable. Prince Kunwar (Anoop Kumar) is studying in UK when his father dies and the king appoints him as his successor, instead of his elder brother Samsher (Daljit), who is a gone case, indulging in wine, women and gambling. Kunwar starts for India. Samsher wants to kill him. Loyal Diwan ji and another sardar, Mansingh are escorting Kunwar when they are attacked. Diwanji is killed, Kunwar is injured seriously and thrown in a river presuming dead, but Mansingh escapes. Mansingh, one day finds Badloo (Anup Kumar), who looks same to same as Kunwar. Mansingh does not know that he is a barber. Mansingh makes him the Kunwar and brings him to the capital of Kingdom. Princess Kiran (Preeti Bala) who is engaged to Kunwar suspects Badloo.
The real Kunwar is saved by people of Imlipur as Badloo and brought to his ‘mother’ (Durga Khote). Kunwar understands the situation and keeps quiet till opportune moment comes. Finally he contacts Kiran and they together expose the impostor prince, kill Samsher in a fight and reunite themselves as a reward.
In the early 60s, when the Film industry was churning out excellent movies after movies, it was hardly expected that such a film would succeed. The film got what it deserved. A peaceful rest in the cans !
The mukhda remains the same as the original title of the film “Zara Palat Ke Dekh”.
HFGK mentions Manna Dey and chorus, but the voice of S Balbir is also there in the song.
