Today 18th August, 2024 is the ninety-first birthday of Poet, Lyricist, Writer, Director and Producer Gulzar Saab. On this occasion we wish him a very ‘happy birthday’ today and also wish him a healthy and peaceful life ahead.

Gulzar Saab had come a long way since then as younger boy and as a growing youth who had been witnessed to the most ‘bloodied’ part of the history of India i.e. partition of the undivided India into two parts India and Pakistan.

Yesterday 7th may 2024 was the third phase of General elections 2024 of India. I was looking forward to it for quite some time. The electoral process had started from march end itself and the process will go on till 4 June 2024. A very long drawn, a very elaborate, and at the same time a tedious and tiring process for all. Nevertheless, a very important process for India, and by that token, for the world, because it is the biggest polling exercise ever undertaken in the history of mankind.

Today’s song is from the film Gustakhi Maaf-1969.

Titles of Hindi films generally confuse me, but mostly they disappoint me. A normal cinegoer expects that the title of the film indicates the type of film it is or gives a hint of the film’s story subject or atleast the type/genre of the film. But mostly the titles are misleading. Luckily the hoardings and the posters of the film are more revealing and attractive. They give a closer hint about the film. Here too, what is shown on the hoardings is not seen in the films many times. Why I am saying all this is, because today’s film’s story has absolutely nothing to do with its title, by any angle.

Shakespeare’s plays have been one of the important sources for adapting them in Hindi films since the beginning of the Indian film industry in 1913. However, since very few films produced and released during the silent film era survived, it is difficult to say how many silent films were based on Shakespeare’s plays. A research paper on Shakespeare on Screen by Dr. Joseph Koyippally has identified 8 silent films based on Shakespeare’s plays that were released between 1923-30.

‘Insaaf Kaa Mandir’ (1969) was produced by Sherbahadur Singh and Jagdish Singh and was written and directed by BR Ishara. The cast includes Sanjeev Kumar, Snehlata, Nadira, Asit Sen, Prithvi Raj Kapoor, Tarun Bose, Manmohan Krishna, Sapru, Laxmi Chhaya, Aruna Irani, Bela Bose, Mohan Sherry, Kanu Roy etc. This was BR Ishara’s debut film as a full-fledged director. After coming to Mumbai, it took him almost 2 decades to direct his first film. But it was not that he had run away from his village to Mumbai to make a career in films. It was, what he called the ‘torturous nature’ of his uncle which drove him to Mumbai where he was prepared to grab any work including domestic servant and waiter for sustenance.

It has been over eight years now that we started this series for the songs picturised on actor Junior Mehmood. We started with songs sung by Mohd Rafi for Junior Mehmood and later on added more songs sung by other singers for Junior Mehmood. There are still few songs yet to be posted which we discovered in recent years that are picturised on Junior Mehmood.

A couple of years back, I had written for the Blog, articles on a few of Hindi film dancers/character actress which included Mohana Cabral, Naaz, Minoo Mumtaz, Heera Sawant, Sheila Vaz, Rani and Jeevankala. In this article, I take up for writing on one of the prominent dancers of Hindi films during 1970s and 1980s who also did supporting roles of varying types. The dancer/actor is Jayshree Talpade, popularly known as Jayshree T. I had watched her the first time in the film, ‘Chanda Aur Bijli’ (1969). This was the period and another couple of years more when I was active in watching Hindi films in the theatres, preferably during the first week of the release of the films and almost every weekends. After watching her dance performances in about a dozen films in 1970-72 with bits of supporting roles, I can say that just as Helen was a successor to Cuckoo, so is Jayshree T a successor to Helen. Interestingly, Jayshree T and her elder sister, Meena T had no intention of working in the films as none of their family members were connected with the film industry. How Jayshree T got the entry into Hindi films without much of a struggle is the story that will get unfolded as I discuss her profile.
