In this article, I have picked up for discussion Gautam Ghosh’s film, ‘Yaatra’ (2007) which comes under the ambit of the parallel cinema. The meaning of the film’s title in the context of the story is ‘transition journey’. This is a complicated film. The audience is likely to get confused as to how much of the story in a novel narrated by the protogonist is real and fictional when he narrates the story to a fellow traveller, an upcoming film-maker. Some parts of the story are autobiographical in nature while some are creative imaginations and thus fictional in nature. The transition from fiction to fact in the novel is so blurred that the upcoming film-maker gets confused. In the end, the film-maker decides to give his own perspective of the story in his screenplay when he decides to make the film based on the novel.

‘Mitr, My Friend’ (2002) was an English language film which was directed by debutant, Revathy who also produced the film along with her husband, Suresh Menon. The main cast included Shobana, Nasir Abdullah and Preeti Vissa with the supporting cast of Matt Phillips, Black Ormsby, Shirley Bannet, Brain Linebaugh, Janine Pibal, Michael Bailey, Sreenivasan, Karthik etc. The film is known for having primarily all woman crew, which according to Revathy, was a mere coincidence. Also, they were first timers associated with a feature film.

Autism is a neurobehavioural disorder in which the affected people’s brain works differently than those of the normal people. In India, one child out of 68 newly born children is affected by autism. Since autism is not an illness or disease, parents will not come to know whether their child is affected by autism until he grows and they notice a different behaviour pattern than that of a normal child. It is difficult for a autism affected child to properly communicate with others and to understand what other people think about him. It is still unknown as to what causes autism. Nor is there any cure for it.

In my last article on the Blog, I had discussed the film, ‘Birbal My Brother’ (1973) with a Hindustani classical bandish, ‘rang raliyaan karat sautan ke sang’, rendered by Pandit Bhimsen Joshi and Pandit Jasraj as jugalbandi in Raag Malkauns. In this article, I am presenting the same bandish rendered in Raag Malkauns by Asha Bhosle as a ‘filmy song’ without much of ornamentations. This one was from the film, ‘Khwaahish’ (2003) which was produced by Vivek Nayak under the banner of Perry Pictures and was directed by the debutant Govind Menon. The cast included Himanshu Malik, Mallika Sherawat, Shivaji Satam, Amrita Sathbai, Shahbaz Khan, Mahamud Babai etc. This was Mallika Sherawat’s first film in a lead role. The film was based on an English novel, ‘Love Story’ (1970) by Eric Segal, customised to the Indian setting.

This date 50 years ago (15 March 1975- 15 March 2025)

Today is 15 March 2025. It means that the date 50 years ago was 15 March 1975.

If one asked me what I was doing on 15 march 1975, I would have drawn a blank. But if someone informed me what major event took place on 15 march 1975 then I would be able to tell what I was doing that day.

I came to know through some online articles that 15 march 1975 was the date when India won the final of World cup Hockey and became world cup champion for the first (and till now only) time.

#the Decade of 2001-2010 #
———————————————————————

Regulars on this blog are familiar about the common interests of the team of this blog. First, it is songs and movies of course, one is cricket and the other most important is Railway or train or Indian Railways specifically. Everybody has a big admiration for the railway services and the efforts they put day in – day out to keep this country ‘moving’. Train travel is the safest and cheap (too) journey for the common citizens of this country as it has been for the last many many years. Then there is the ‘nostalgia’ people have for their life’s years associated of travelling to various places by train. People migrating to far away places from their hometown or staying far from their families for earnings always have many memories associated with train travel of reaching homes when everybody is waiting for them. When one travels in train he gets to have interaction with people from different parts of the country and some of them become friends during the travel and thus one gets to about diverse cultures too. The many journeys also teach one a lot and also tell us about the uncertainties in life and how life has been to the so many others than one self. The ‘Indian Railways’ plays a big role in ‘national –integration’ and it is also source of inspiration for many people like me.

Hullo Atuldom

To start with I would have sent a song to remember the legend Mohd Rafi on his 100th Birth anniversary. But after reading all the posts of the day on the blog, I am sure that I cannot do better than what is already said. I have been listening to songs of the legend since morning today.

Hullo Atuldom

The first song that I had sent to Atulji for posting today was from a film that had Sharmila Tagore’s character playing mother to Saif Ali Khan’s character in a 1993 film .

The song in this post is also similar. It has Dharmendra playing father to Sunny & Bobby Deol- his real life sons. Before this 2007 film the father-son duo of Dharmendra-Sunny had worked together in “Sultanat”, “Sunny” (no screentime together), “Saverewali Gaadi” and “Kshatriya”. Bobby & Sunny Deol had worked together in “Dillagi” in 1999.

Hullo Atuldom

Remembering Nirmala Nagpal today on her birth anniversary. She was born in Mumbai (Bombay back then) on 22nd November 1948. That gives us an idea that she must have been hardly 9 or 10 years of age when she danced in the chorus of the famous club-scene songs of “Howrah Bridge” (1958). She was just 3 years when she appeared in some films as baby Shyama & was a background (chorus) dancer in the late 1950s. She was all of 13 (not unusual for those times, I think) when she married the much-married & father of four -B. Sohanlal- a popular choreographer of that period. The couple separated in a few years but not before she had borne three children. Later, she married a businessman Sardar Roshan Khan, adopted Islam & changed her name to Saroj Khan – a name that gave her work & fame and was known by till she passed away on 3rd July 2020; due to cardiac arrest.
