Today, September 18, 2025, is the 75th birthday of Shabana Azmi which is an important milestone in anyone’s life. I thought that on this occasion I should write an article on a film in which, in my view, Shabana Azmi has accepted a challenging role and has given a brilliant performance. The film I am covering in my article is ‘Morning Raaga’ (2004), a predominantly English language film in which Shabana Azmi’s role is that of a Carnatic vocalist.

‘Morning Raaga’ (2004) was produced by K Raghavendra Rao and was directed by Mahesh Dattani, a well-known personality in English theatre. The film was later dubbed in Telugu language with the title, ‘Raagam’ (2006). The cast included Shabana Azmi, Prakash Kovelamudi, Perizaad Zorabian, Lillete Dubey, Nasser, Ranjani Ramakrishnan, Vaishali Bisht, Shashi Sudigala, Sheela Naidu, Shaleen Sharma, Elahe Hiptoola etc. Prakash Kovelmudi is the son of Producer K Raghavendra Rao who is a producer-director, screenplay writer and an actor in his own right.

Vishal Bhardwaj’s Trilogy of Shakespeare plays – 1: ‘Maqbool’ (2004).

Williams Shakespeare’s plays have been very popular with the Indian theatres since the theatre movement started sometime in the later 18th century. It was in the late 19th century that some of the famous Shakespeare’s plays were adapted in the Indian theatres in Hindi, Urdu and other prominent regional languages like Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil etc. The plays were molded into Indian socio-economic and political background. With the advent of silent films in India in 1913 and later the sound films from 1931, the film producers also adapted some of the popular Shakespeare’s plays for their films.

This post is courtesy my youngest sister. We were on this telephonic chat and she was asking me about my new hobby/addiction and how it is coming by. In the conversation she mentioned about the how she appreciated Dilip Kumar in the song”Nain Lad Jaihe To Manwaa Maa Kasak Hoibe Kari” – his dancing to be more exact. She spoke about how the dance was almost continuous like a single shot song. And my reply to her was that the song from “Jewel Thief”Hothon  Mein Aisi Baat Main Dabaa Ke Chali Aayi” is an ideal example of a song in a single-shot and how Vyjayanthimala has danced and cameras were strategically placed to catch every movement and moment. To this my sister replied that being a trained classical dancer it would not have been so difficult for Vyjayanthimala but see Dilip Kumar dance in ‘Ganga Jamna’.
