‘Yuva’ (2004) was produced by Mani Ratnam and G Srinivasan under the banner of Madras Talkies and was directed by Mani Ratnam. The film was simultaneously shot in Tamil as ‘Aaytha Ezhuthu’ (2004) with a different cast. The film was loosely based on the life story of George Reddy, a student leader who was a gold medalist in his post-graduation in Nuclear Physics from Osmania University, Hyderabad. He died young at the age of 25 by a stab wound in his college campus.
The screenplay was written by Mani Ratnam in Tamil which was translated in English and handed over to Anurag Kashyap to write dialogues in Hindi. According to Anurag Kashyap, Mani Ratnam gave him a free hand to write dialogues in Hindi keeping in mind that the language used in the dialogues was spoken Hindi of local dialect from UP/Bihar and the story was based in Kolkata.
I watched the film on an OTT platform about a month back. The film is about three main characters from different classes of society. The first character is Michael Mukherjee (Ajay Devgan), a college student doing his PhD. He has got a scholarship for going abroad and his future seems bright. However, he is not interested in going abroad as he is actively involved in local politics. He projects himself as a socially conscious youth leader who wants to bring about changes in the lives of the people for their betterment. He is keeping himself ready to stand in the election against Prosenjit Chatterjee (Om Puri), a corrupt politician. Michael is in love with Radhika (Esha Deol), a teacher.
The second character is Lallan Singh (Abhishek Bachchan), a migrant from Bihar who has come up the hard way in Kolkata. He is a hot-headed goon, an extortionist and a murderer. By this very nature, Lallan Singh is in demand in the games of politics. He works for Prosenjit Chatterjee as his henchman. He terrorises the college students who are the supporters of Michael. He is married to a Bengali girl, Sashi Biswas (Rani Mukerji) with whom he has ‘blow hot blow cold’ relationship. She tries to reform Lallan Singh but in vain.
The third character is Arjun Balachandran (Vivek Oberoi), son of a bureaucrat and a student who is doing his final mechanical engineering. He has planned everything in his life to be materialistic and opportunistic. He wishes to go for higher studies abroad and settle there to earn lots of money. All he wants is to have lots of fun filled life. He has bumped into a girl Meera (Kareena Kapoor) with whom he is in love.
In the film, the story of all the three characters runs parallel without any connection with each other. However, a murder attempt on Michael by Lallan Singh on the Howrah Bridge under the instructions from the politician, Prosenjit Chatterjee brings all the three characters together. From this incident onwards, the lives of all the three characters change. Michael now wants to fight the election against Prosenjit Chatterjee. Arjun abandons his plan to go to US to settle down there. Instead, he also joins with Michael to fight the election. Now it is the fights between Michael and Arjun versus Prosenjit Chatterjee and Lallan Singh. Finally, Michael Mukherjee and Arjun win the election. Both Michael and Arjun get married to their girlfriends. Lallan Singh is prosecuted for spate of murders and gets imprisonment for life while his wife, Sashi goes back to her parents’ house.
‘Yuva’ (2004) has six songs, all written by Mehboob Kotwal and set to music by A R Rahman. I am presenting the first song, ‘kabhi neem neem kabhi sahad sahad’ from the film to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Madhushree (Sujata Bhattacharya) and A R Rahman. The song is picturised on Rani Mukerji and Abhishek Bachchan.
The song starts and ends with humming to give a folk touch to it. Through song, Rani Mukerji describes the nature of her husband as sometimes rugged and sometimes very soft in nature. She compares his nature as bitter as neem leaves and as sweet as honey.
This is my most favourite song from the film for its melody, lyrics, raw romance and above all the A R Rahman’s interlude rendering on which both Abhishek Bachchan’s dance and Rani Mukerji’s expressions are mind blowing. I hear only two musical instruments – Ghatam and Ghunghroo (hand bells) in the background when the song starts with humming and up to the mukhda part. The soft play of Ghatam and Ghunghroo creates the necessary atmosphere when Abhishek Bachchan is walking in the rain-showers, carrying Rani Mukerji. In the later part of the songs, percussions have been mainly used. Another feature of this song is that Madhushree pronounces ‘sandhya’ as ‘shondha’ and ‘bairagi’ as ‘boiragi’ in keeping with the role of Rani Mukerji as a Bengali wife.
This song is unforgettable even after 19 years have passed since the release of the film in May 2004.

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.
The earliest Hindi sound film based on Shakespeare play was ‘Hathili Dulhan’ (1932) which was adapted from a comedy play ‘The Taming of the Shrew’. Some other Hindi sound films adapted from Shakespeare plays (mentioned in the brackets) included ‘Kaafir-e-Ishq’, 1936 (Anthony and Cleopatra), ‘Jwala’. 1938 (Macbeth), ‘Pak Daman’, 1940 (Measure for Measure), ‘Aan’, 1952 (Taming of the Shrew), ‘Hamlet’. 1954 (Hamlet), ‘Do Dooni Chaar’, 1968 (The Comedy of Errors), ‘Angoor’, 1982 (The Comedy of Errors), ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, 1988 (Romeo & Juliet) and many more. About 40 Hindi films released between 1932 and 2014, based on Shakespeare plays have been listed here. This list is not exhaustive.
Shakespeare’s plays were also adapted into some Hindi films made in the 2000s. Of these, Vishal Bhardwaj’s Shakespeare trilogy, ‘Maqbool’ 2004 (Macbeth), ‘Omkara’ 2006 (Othello) and ‘Haider’ 2014 (Hamlet) are regarded as the best adaptation. These three films have received high critical acclaim. There are many published research papers on his trilogy on national and international forums, besides a PhD thesis on his trilogy by Dr Fatimah Javed. The uniqueness in Vishal Bhardwaj’s adaptations is that he has brought out the relevance of Shakespeare’s plays in the contemporary Indian socio-political background.
I intend to write one article each for these three films listed above. In this article, I will take up ‘Maqbool’ (2004), the first film in Vishal Bhardwaj’s trilogy of Shakespeare’s tragedy plays. The film was produced jointly by Vishal Bhardwaj and Bobby Bedi and was directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. The film has a strong cast which includes Irrfan Khan, Tabu, Pankaj Kapur, Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Piyush Mishra, Deepak Dobriyal, Ankur Vikal, Ajay Gehi, Vivek Mushran, Rakesh Pandit, Shammi Narang, Masumeh Makhija, Mohini Mathur, Shweta Menon etc. Vishal Bhardwaj shifts the centre of struggle for power from the court of King Duncan of Scotland in ‘Macbeth’ to Mumbai’s Mafia Don, Jahangir (Abba) Khan’s house.
Probably, it may be for first time in the history of Hindi films that the screenplay of a film was published with English translation in a book form – ‘Maqbool: The Original Screenplay (with English Translation) by Vishal Bhardwaj and Abbas Tyrewala (2014)’. In this book, the rationale for some changes in the main characters of ‘Macbeth’ in ‘Maqbool’ (2004) have been spelt out. I thought, it was better to present these changes in a tabular form for easy understanding:
| In ‘Macbeth’ | In ‘Maqbool’ | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| King Duncan of Scotland | Mafia Don Abbaji (Pankaj Kapur) of Mumbai underworld. | – |
| Macbeth, the General, who is the distant cousin of King Duncan | Maqbool (Irrfan Khan), the foster son and the right-hand man of Abbaji. | – |
| Lady Macbeth (wife of Macbeth) | Nimmi (Tabu) the mistress of Abbaji who is in illicit relationship with Maqbool. | There is a marked departure from the original characters just to give one more reason for Nimmi to instigate Maqbool to kill Abbaji, so that she becomes the legitimate wife of Maqbool. For him also, this becomes an additional motive to kill Abbaji, apart from becoming a mafia don. |
| Three Witches | Purohit (Naseeruddin Shah) and ‘Pandit (Om Puri) are cops who predict the rise of Maqbool as a Don as per the horoscope drawn by Pandit. | It was felt that after about 500 years from the staging of ‘Macbeth’, the witches with their prophecies and supernatural powers may not be believable for the current generation. In mafia world, cops fit well in place of witches. Additionally, one of the cops was shown as an astrologer who also makes predictions. |
| Braquo, the close friend of Macbeth | Kaka (Piyush Mishra), a close friend of Maqbool. | – |
| Fleance, Banquo’s son who is projected by witches to be the future king of Scotland | Guddu (Ajay Gehi), the son of Kaka. | From the end scene of the film, it can be inferred from the action of Guddu and his wife Sameera who takes the custody of Nimmi’s son that he may become the future Mafia Don of Mumbai. |
The gist of the story of the film is as under:
After the killing of the Lalji, right-hand man of mafia don Abbaji (Pankaj Kapur), by a rival gang, Maqbool (Irrfan Khan), the foster son of Abbaji becomes the de facto his right-hand man. He is also made in-charge of the Abbaji’s connection with Bollywood films. Abbaji has absolute faith in Maqbool and this is demonstrated in the film on a number of occasions. Nimmi (Tabu), the mistress of Abbaji who is half his age is not happy with her status. She and Maqbool are passionate about each other and are in illicit relationship.
Purohit (Naseeruddin Shah) and Pandit (Om Puri) are the corrupt cops who are on the payroll of Abbaji. Pandit is also an astrologer who had predicted the death of Abbaji’s right-hand man. Now, he predicts that Maqbool would be the future mafia don of Mumbai. His oft repeated dialogue in the film is that there should be balance of power in the universe. Fire should be afraid of water.
Nimmi sees a possibility of both of being sidelined after the marriage of Sameera (Mausami Makhija), daughter of Abbaji with Guddu (Ajay Gehi), the son of Kaka (Piyush Mishra), the close associate of both Abbaji and Maqbool. She instigates Maqbool by saying that he would remain like a loyal dog in the don’s hierarchy, if he does not kill Abbaji and grab the power to be a mafia don. Maqbool is caught between his loyalty to Abbaji and his love for Nimmi. Finally, his love for Nimmi wins over the loyalty to Abbaji. Maqbool kills Abbaji in his bedroom in sleep.
Maqbool thinks that with Abbaji out of his way, the next man has to be his close friend, Kakaji who suspects Maqbool in killing Abbaji. To whom the power will pass – Guddu, the son-in-law or Maqbool, the foster son. So, Kakaji becomes his number one enemy in his succession. Maqbool gets him killed while his son, Guddu narrowly escapes death. With almost whole gang turning against him now, Maqbool has to handle his enemies, within and outside his gang single handedly. He has no help from Nimmi as she, beside her pregnancy, has lost her balance of mind.
After the killing of Abbaji, Maqbool suffers from guilt conscious which has affected him in taking a balanced view of his problem. He starts thinking that all are his enemies, and they need to be eliminated. His guilt consciousness makes him devote more time to saving the baby in Nimmi’s womb than his safety. He takes Nimmi to hospital for delivery. With the arrival of cops surrounding the hospital, Maqbool runs away. He comes back to hospital the next day to meet Nimmi and the newly born son when he sees Guddu in the hospital. Maqbool takes out his gun to shoot him. But before that he finds the newly born son has been handed over to Guddu and his wife Sameera by the hospital authority. He comes to know from a hospital staff that Nimmi has died, and Guddu and his wife has taken the custody of the newly born son. His grim face turns into a happy one as he sees that there is someone to look after the newly born son. Maqbool throws his gun and walks out of the hospital in a happy state of mind only to be shot dead by Boti (Ankur Vikal), a member of a rival gang who has recently joined Abbaji’s gang.
I watched this movie for the first time before writing this article and regretted not having watched this film on the big screen. It is a fantastic film, more of human relation story than the underworld. I do not think that any one among the actors can replace Pankaj Kapur in the role of Mumbai’s mafia don, Abbaji. Irrfan Khan in the role of Maqbool has portrayed his character in such a way that at the end of the film, despite his wrongdoings, the audience would feel sorry for him. Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri in the comparatively smaller role of corrupt cops are very good in their satirical punches. All other actors, some with minor roles, performed very well. This film also proves that cinema is the director’s medium.
As per Box Office report, despite the high critical acclaim, the film was not commercially successful. Probably the use of techniques like imagery, expressions, and body language in the film was beyond the understanding of the general cine audience. There is nothing for the front benchers and the film lovers from the mofussil region of India, like titillating dances they would expect in a mafia den. Even six murders are shown in the film in a subtle way without much of fight scenes. I think, Vishal Bhardwaj knew beforehand that the film was meant for the niche audience. He did not charge any fee as a screenplay writer, director and the music director for the film (as per the preface of the book referred to above).
There are 5 songs in the film, all written by Gulzar and set to music by Vishal Bhardwaj. I have found only 3 songs which appeared in the film. However, ‘excluded’ songs are available on audio albums. I am presenting the first song from the film ‘jhin min jhin min jhini’ to appear on the Blog. The song is sung by Sadhana Sargam, Anuradha Sriram, Ustad Sultan Khan, Rakesh Pandit and chorus.
The background of the song is that Ajay Gehi (Guddu), son of Kaka (Piyush Mishra) who is a close associate of Abbaji (Pankaj Kapur) is to get married to Sameera (Mausami Makhija), daughter of Abbaji. The song is played on the eve of the engagement ceremony. The song is prominently picturised on Tabu and Mausami Makhija as a part of sangeet ceremony for females.
In the soundtrack of the film, the prelude of the song is a couplet (doha) of Amir Khusro recited by a dancer (Shwetha Menon) which is not included in the song on the audio album. The song is interspersed by Sufi Qawwali which is again picturised on Shwetha Menon as a part of her mujra dance for the males during which Pankaj Kapur, Irrfan Khan, Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah, Piyush Mishra, Shammi Narang etc can also be seen.
While the song is being played, the camera captures some other details such as conversation between Irrfan Khan and Om Puri, the conversation between Tabu and Irrfan Khan and Tabu’s expression on the dance between Pankaj Kapur and Shwetha Menon whom Tabu thinks as the potential mistress of Abbaji.

Maqbool Fida Hussain, popularly known as M F Hussain (17/09/1915 – 09/06/2011) has been one of the internationally celebrated artists known for his narrative, satirical, somber and paintings. He has also done paintings in series forms – Ramayan, Mahabharat, Mahatma Gandhi, Urban and Rural India etc. Some of his paintings have sold in the auction at record amounts. Some of his paintings had become controversial and drawn protests from a section of the people.
Towards the last part of his life, M F Hussain became fascinated by Madhuri Dixit. It is said that he watched ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’ (1994) 67 times just for Madhuri Dixit. Probably, she became the muse for his subsequent paintings. He did a series of paintings on Madhuri Dixit. His fascination of Madhuri Dixit led his entry into Bollywood by making ‘Gajgamini’ (2000) with Madhuri Dixit. He depicted her from a simple woman to Kalidas’s Shakuntala, Leonarda da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and a photo journalist’s model. The film failed miserably at the box office. The film critics termed the film as an abstract work which was difficult to understand. M F Hussain’s response was that he followed his heart when he made the film as a tribute to womanhood.
Despite the financial loss in ‘Gajgamini’ (2000), at the age of 88, M F Hussain made his second attempt in film making. This time, his muse was Tabu in ‘Meenaxi: Tale of 3 Cities’ (2004). The film depicted Tabu as a muse of a novelist who has been suffering from ‘writer’s block’ for the last 5 years. Tabu is also in search of perfect love. The film was released on April 2, 2004, but M F Hussain took the decision to withdraw the film from theatres on April 24, 2004 after some Muslim organization objected to the lyrics of the song ‘noor-un-ala-noor’ penned by M F Hussain as ‘blasphemous.’ The film suffered the same fate as ‘Gajgamini’ except that the film was critically acclaimed, both nationally and internationally.
Urmila Matondkar became, M F Hussain’s 3rd muse when he watched her film, ‘Rangeela’ (1995). He saw the funny side in her. Hence, he was planning to make a comedy film with her. However, his self-imposed exile in Qatar from 2006 onwards prevented him from making any new films.
‘Meenaxi: Tale of 3 Cities’ (2004) was a home production of M F Hussain who was also director with his painter-son, Owais Hussain helping in the direction. The cast included Tabu, Raghuveer Yadav, Kunal Kapoor, Nadira Babbar, Sharat Saxena, Bharat Kapoor, Remo D’Souza, Rachana Shah etc. The film had some of the top film professionals like cinematographer Santosh Sivan, Art Director Sharmishta Roy, internationally known choreographer, Astad Deboo and music director A R Rahman.
I could not find the film’s DVD on video sharing websites as well as on the OTT platforms. So, I am not giving the gist of the film’s story based on my viewing of the film. However, I reproduce below the synopsis of the film’s story taken from Imdb (parenthesis mine):
Nawab (Raghuveer Yadav), a popular Hyderabadi novelist, is suffering from a classic case of writer’s block. Five years have passed, and stories of substance seem to have dried up. Then, almost providentially, Nawab comes across a young woman named Meenaxi (Tabu). She is enigmatic and individualistic – and not quite willing to perform the part of a passive muse. But that doesn’t deter a rejuvenated Nawab from giving her different personae – she can be the mysterious perfume trader of Hyderabad, the exotic desert bloom of Jaisalmer, the orphaned Maria of Prague (hence the tale of 3 cities). Inexorably, she consolidates her command over the novelist. She dismisses his renewed attempts at writing as insubstantial and hackneyed, plunging him into a state of deeper despair. She is scathingly critical about his story and is amused by one of his characters, the lovelorn and awkward Kameshwar (Kunal Kapoor). Finally, as Nawab strives on a new page all over again, Meenaxi comments that perhaps the book is in vain. In any case, it is much too late. The writer must survive and live if he can, without her support, inspiration, and criticism.
M F Hussain’s paintings are modern art and subject to varied interpretations by those who understand paintings, just like, say Mirza Ghalib’s ghazals which can be interpreted differently by those who are Urdu laureates. I can guess that his films’ depiction of the story would also be abstract. So, it is not expected that the normal film audience would understand and enjoy his films. M F Hussain, the financiers and distributors of the films would know in advance that his films are not expected to be box office hits. Perhaps, it is more of a thrill for the financiers and distributors to be associated with M F Hussain as a part of the elite group than making money from his films.
‘Meenaxi’ (2004) has six songs written by Rahat Indori (4), Sukhwinder Singh (1) and M F Hussain (1). All the songs were set to music by A R Rahman. I have watched video clips of all the songs which are available on video sharing websites. All the songs are well composed and picturised.
I am presenting ‘ye rishta kya kehlaata hai’, the first song from the film to appear on the Blog. The song is written by Urdu Poet, Rahat Indori and is rendered by Reena Bhardwaj, a London-based British-Indian singer and songwriter. She was doing her post-graduation from the London School of Economics when she got a call from A R Rahman to record the song under discussion. This was her debut Hindi film song. She has also sung a few Tamil and Telugu film songs for A R Rahman.
All the songs which I have watched are like M F Hussain’s ‘paintings in celluloid’. Each frame of the song’s shooting looks like a painting. One can take a screenshot of any frame and will look like a painting. I was so much impressed with ‘painting look-like frames’ that I made an audio clip of the song under discussion by including some screenshots from the video clip of the song. Audio clip is uploaded with the article.
The song is a beautiful poetry which M F Hussain picturised as if he was painting in multiple frames with beautiful colour combinations.

Hullo Atuldom
This is a multi-birthday post.
First and foremost we shall be wishing our Sudhirji- The Dillwala Dilliwala; Atulji’s trusted lieutenant on his birthday. He has been a huge help to Atulji and that has ensured that the blog has had no dot days since 25th December 2019. Let us all wish this Atulite with lots of fun and music.
“Main Hoon Na” (2004) was a Farah Khan directed film which was produced by Gauri Khan’s ‘Red Chillies Entertainment’ & Ratan Jain’s ‘Venus Records and Tapes’. Shahrukh Khan, Sushmita Sen, Zayed Khan, Amrita Rao, Bindu, Boman Irani, Satish Shah, Kirron Kher and Suniel Shetty were the main cast with Naseeruddin Shah and Kabir Bedi in special and guest appearances respectively. The songs were penned by Javed Akhtar and composed by Anu Malik. Shreya Ghoshal, Sonu Nigam, Abhijeet, KK, Vasundhara Das, Alka Yagnik, Sunidhi Chauhan and the Sabri brothers- Hashim & Aftab are the playback singers used in the movie.
With this song SRK (Shahrukh Khan) is shown trying to mingle among the young college crowd. He is shown as the odd man out or a student who is trying to restart his studies which he had to give up owing to family responsibilities etc. The younger crowd initially don’t want to associate with him but eventually they become a clique and then the story proceeds towards a climax where the students are held hostage, SRK with the help of his army forces helps rescue the young brigade, bring/ eliminate Suniel Shetty & group etc. before the happy ending. That means the movie was an all-out masala film.
The song is in the voices of Shreya Ghoshal and Sonu Nigam. There is a sad version too in Abhijeet’s voice.
2nd November also happens to be SRK and Anu Malik’s birthday. Here is wishing them all the best for the future and hoping that they continue go entertain us.
This words of this song may have been what Sudhirji told Atulji when he started sharing the responsibility of keeping the blog from having DOT days. 🙂

Hullo Atuldom
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’.
Now the Dilip Kumar dance I have been seeing from time immemorial and it is one of the songs on my personal favorites list. But after speaking to my sister, I saw the song again just before I started this post. Even if it is not a single shot-song, the choreography makes it seem so. There is a flow in the movements and actions from one frame to the other and the end result is one amazing continuous dance-song.
What the morning conversation did was it reminded me of another song that is nearly like the Dilip Kumar song viz. the choreography makes it feel that the artists have danced seamlessly, without any cuts between shots. This is the handiwork of Farah Khan. It is from the 2004 released ‘Main Hoon Na’ that is produced by Gauri Khan (Red Chillies Entertainment) and Ratan Jain (Venus Records and Tapes) and directed by Farah khan. It has a small star cast consisting of Naseeruddin Shah (special appearance), Kabir Bedi (special appearance), Suniel Shetty (in a negative role), Satish Shah, Kiron Kher, Boman Irani (forgetful principal), and Sushmita Sen, Amrita Rao, Sharukh Khan and Zayed Khan. Plus there are Rakhi Sawant, Tabu and Sajid Khan (Farah’s brother) in blink and miss roles.
The songs are written by Javed Akhtar and Anu Malik is the music director. It was nominated for a few awards in that year and won the Filmfare Award for best music. Shreya Ghoshal, Sonu Nigam, Abhijeet, KK, Vasundhara Das, Alka Yagnik, Sunidhi Chauhan and the Sabri Brothers – Hashim and Aftab, are the voices that have sung in this film. Even Anu Malik sang a song in the film. Today’s song is in the voices of KK and Vasundhara Das.
We shall have this song today to wish Farah Khan on turning a year older. She had made her debut in films as dance director in 1992 with ‘Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar’ with the brilliantly picturised “Pehla Nasha Pehla Khumar” which had Aamir Khan prancing on the slopes of the Nilgiris in Ooty. She has since choreographed dance routines for about a 100 songs in 80 movies. She turned director with ‘Main Hoon Na’ and producer with ‘Joker’ (in 2012) which was directed by her husband Shirish Kunder. She has been in front of the camera in films right from 1995 as a person among the crowd etc. and she had a formal full length role in ‘Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi’ (2012) where she was romantic lead pair with Boman Irani and her aunt Daisy Irani played her to-be mother-in-law. Of course she has made it a practice to get her whole crew in front of the camera, along with the end-titles, in all the films that she has directed.
A very Happy Birthday to this multi-talented personality who comes from a family of artists who have been in Bollywood since the late ’50s – her maternal aunts are Honey and Daisy Irani, her father Kamran Khan was a stuntman-turned-filmmaker, Javed Akhtar is her maternal aunt’s ex-husband, so that makes Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar (filmmakers) her cousins.

Hullo Atuldom
‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ (release date 30th July 2004) is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by David Dhawan. It has a cast headed by Priyanka Chopra, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Amrish Puri, Kadar Khan, with Shashikala, Upasana Singh, Supriya Karnik, Satish Shah, Rajpal Yadav, etc for support. A few well-known faces make cameo appearances as themselves. The songs of the movie are written by Arun Bhairav, Jalees Sherwani (never heard these two names) and Sameer. Sajid- Wajid and Anu Malik are the music composers with Anu Malik giving music for one song and Sajid-Wajid having tuned the rest (there were 8 songs with two songs being multi-version songs).
The movie is the story of two friends Sameer and Sunny who meet in Goa after a gap of many years and only one of them recognizes the other as the ‘bachpan ka yaar‘. Actually Sunny seeks out Sameer with the help of Sameer’s grandmother (Shashikala) and tracks him down in Goa. Sunny gets Sameer to believe that he is after the girl, Rani Singh whom he is trying to woo. That makes it two hurdles for Sameer to overcome in his love-life; the other being Rani’s father (Amrish Puri). The movie has some fun moments between Sameer and Rani’s parents as also the landlord (Kadar Khan) of Sameer and Sunny. After a lot of madcap happenings Sameer comes to know that Sunny is actually Arun Khanna- his bachpan ka yaar – and that his aim in seeking out Sameer was just to reunite with him.
On the way to ‘THE END’ there is a chase through a crowded stadium (filmed at Bangalore’s stadium) after Sameer is taunted by Sunny about Sameer’s anger-management issues. Sameer snatches the microphone from the Chief Guest at the cricketing event, a friendly match between India and Pakistan, much to the amusement of the commentators and the players. He makes a public apology to Rani and her parents and proposes to her in front of the spectators.
This movie has Salman Khan playing Sameer, Akhsay Kumar playing Sunny alias Arun Khanna and Priyanka Chopra playing Rani Singh. Rajpal Yadav plays a madcap astrologer who keeps giving Sameer directions on how to woo Rani which always flop.
There have been a few posts on the blog, since 24th when the movie based on the 1983 world cup had its theatrical release. That movie is on my wish-list, but all those posts and references to cricketers making appearances, as themselves, on the silver screen, reminded me of this movie. Of course we have had Sunil Gavaskar and Sandeep Patil playing romantic characters on-screen and Syed Kirmani playing a negative character too, but we are looking at films that have cricketers playing themselves.
‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ has Navjot Singh Sidhu play a commentator (he had turned a commentator mouthing Sidhuisms by then) and Sajid Khan (the comedian and film maker) sharing the commentary box. Then we have Javagal Srinath, Ashish Nehra, Irfan Pathan, Mohammad Kaif, Parthiv Patel, and Harbhajan Singh looking at the goings-on, on the pitch, from the pavilion. And (finally) we have Kapil Dev as the chief guest from whom Sameer snatches the microphone. Kapil Paaji also puts in his two-bit to help Sameer’s case with Rani and her father and put an end to the interruption that the drama was causing to the start of the game.
We are having this film making its debut on the blog to wish Salman Khan on his 56th birthday. Here is wishing him health and happiness and a long innings entertaining us Hindi Film Followers. This romantic song is composed by Sajid-Wajid and written by Arun Bhairav. It is sung by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan.
Song – Laal Dupatta Udd Gaya Re Bairi Hawa Ke Jhonke Se (Mujhse Shaadi Karogi) (2004) Singer – Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan, Lyrics – Arun Bhairav, MD – Sajid-Wajid

Yearwise discussion of Lata Mangeshkar songs in HFM: Part LVII: Year 2004
———————————————————————————————————
In this episode, the 57th episode, we were supposed to discuss Lata Mangeshkar songs that she sang in Hindi movies released in 2003, seeing that previous episode covered songs that she sang in 2002.
It turns out that Lata Mangeshkar did not sing any songs in movies released during 2003. So 2003 was the first year after 1945, when Lata Mangeshkar did not sing any songs in Hindi movies. So we needed to move on to the next year viz 2004. Even in that year, we were drawing a blank, till we reached the alphabet V. “Veer Zaara”(2004) turned out to be the only movie of 2004 where Lata Mangeshkar sang songs. She sang as many as 9 songs in this movie. 90 Hindi movies containing 632 songs were released uring 2004. So Lata Mangeshkar got to sing in 1.1 % of these movies and she sang 1.4 % of songs in these movies. So her era almost drew to a close after ruling the roost for more than six decades.
Here are the details of songs sung by Lata Mangeshkar in Hindi movies released in 2004 :-
| S N | Movie | Music director | Lata song in the blog | Lata HFM songs recorded in the year | Lata solo songs | Male duet | Female duet | Other songs | Lyricists |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Veer Zaara | Madan Mohan | 3 | 9 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 3 | Javed Akhtar |
| Total | 1 movie | 1 MD | 3 | 9 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 3 | 1 lyricist |
Lata Mangeshkar worked with 1 music director and 1 lyricist in this one movie released in 2004. Madan Mohan had passed away in 1975, but his unused tunes, which his son had in his possession, were used for this movie, crediting Madan Mohan as the music director.
Laxmikant Pyarelal were the most prolific music directors with Lata, with 664 songs in HFM with Lata Mangeshkar by the end of 2002. Shankar Jaikishan with 457 songs in the voice of Lata Mangeshkar were in the second position. R D Burman with 332 Lata Mangeshkar and Kalyanji Anandji with 307 songs were next ahead of C Ramchandra with 275 songs. Other top music directors for Lata Mangeshkar were Chitragupta (239), Madan Mohan (204), S D Burman (179),Naushad (146), Roshan (144), Hemant Kumar (127), Anil Biswas (120), Bappi Lahiri (112), Rajesh Roshan (111), Salil Chaudhary (109), Husnlal Bhagatram (108), and Vasant Desai (104). Together these seventeen music directors composed 3742 songs out of 5234 songs that Lata Mangeshkar had sung in Hindi movies till end of 2004. Anand Bakshi with 731 songs was the top lyricist with Lata Mangeshkar. Other leading lyricists with Lata Mangeshkar were Rajinder Krishan (555), Majrooh Sultanpuri (407), Shailendra (361), Hasrat Jaipuri (301), Prem Dhawan (201), Bharat Vyas (193), Shakeel Badayuni (189), Sahir Ludhianvi (161) and Indeewar (156). These ten lyricists had penned 3252 songs sung by Lata Mangeshkar till that time.
Here is the summary of Lata Mangeshkar’s playback career in Hindi movies till end of 2004 :
| Year | Movie count | Lata song in the blog | Lata HFM songs recorded in the year | Lata solo songs | Male duet | Female duet | Other songs | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Blog Day : |

Every few years or so, we have people proudly posting the photographs of their fingers with indelible ink in it, as proof of having voted in a parliament election or an assembly election. 🙂
These days, we have a non recurring once in a century occurrence taking place, namely Covid 19 vaccination. The process of this covid vaccination in India is very much comparable to the process of parliamentary general election. People are getting themslves vaccinated, and posting photos of their vaccination on their social media accounts. 🙂
India has two kinds of vaccines that are approved for vaccination. One is covishield (manufactured by Serum Institute of India Pune) and another is Covaxin (manufactured by Bharat Biotech, Hyderabad)
Both vaccines got the approval of India’s Central Drugs and Standards Committee (CDSCO) for emergency use on 3 january 2021 after they completed their various phases of trials.
Serum Institute of India has the largest capacity in the entire world for producing vaccines. Its vaccine Covishield was based on the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine developed in UK whereas Covaxin of Bharat Biotec was an indigenously developed vaccine. The capacity of Serum Institute of India is much higher than that of Bharat Biotech. Covishield vaccine was even offered by Government of India to some friendly countries. As on date, more than 80 countries have received consignments of Covishield vaccine, in a Government of India initiative dubbed as “Vaccine Maitri”. This initiative has won India tremendous goodwill worldwide. Some countries offered profuse thanks to India and Indian government for this gesture.
SII was manufacturing 65-70 million doses in a month but that was not enough to meet the demands of India and other countries. It plans to enhance its capacity to 100 million doses in a month and for that it has sought Government help of Rs 3000 crores($453 millions).
Till today, 90% of all vaccination done in India is of Covishield. Other 10 % is of covaxin. As of now (8 april 2021), 8 crore 29 lakh Covishield vaccine doses and 82 lakh covaxin doses have been administered in India. In addition, 6 crore 45 lakh doses of Covishield have also been supplied to 85 different countries as grant, on commercial basis, and also under CEPI, GAVI, WHO and UNICEFs COVAX programme.
These vaccines have much less stringent low temperature requirement for storage compared to some other vaccines developed abroad. So These vaccines can be transported and stored in India using the existing cold chain logistical infrastructure. That way they are suitable for other less developed countries of the world as well.
Coming to Indian vaccination programme, Just like all adult (18 plus) Indian citizens are eligible to vote, all citizens of certain age group are eligible for free vaccination. Initially people in 60 plus age group were eligible. Certain category of people, like doctors, frontline workers etc, who were in the forefront of fighting this pandemic were also eligible irrespective of their age. Beginning from 1 april 2021, all Indian citizens above the age of 45 are eligible. This will cover about 40 crore Indian citizens (out of 130 crore population).
My wife and daughter belonged to the category of medical personnel and so both of them were eligible for their doses of vaccination. Both of them got their two doses of vaccination before the end of march 2021.
I was not eligible. Some 45 to 59 years age group people who had comorbidities (viz serious health conditions) too were eligible before 1 april 2021 for vaccination on production of doctor’s report and many people of this age group got themselves vaccinated making use of this provision even when some of them had no comorbidities. My wife asked me to get myself vaccinated, as did our daughter, but I insisted that I was not eligible. I rejected my wife’s insinuation that I had hypertension and therefore comorbidity. 🙂
However, from 1 april 2021, I too became eligible for vaccination. My wife and daughter were in any case pestering me for that. The nearest hospital where vaccination was being administered was at NE Railway main hospital located near my workplace. I found out that the vaccination time was from 9:30 to 10 AM or so. I arrived at the place. I was under the impression (based on erroneous media reports) that there would be very small number of people and the medical staff would be sitting idle waiting for people to come. I was mistaken. There was a big crowd of people. So there were so many people interesting in vaccination, unlike what some media houses were trying to portray. I collected the form and filled it up. Though there was a good crowd, it thinned out by the time it was 10:30. I came to know that a limited number of doses are brought from the local state government cold storage that had to be consumed on the same day. There is no method of getting the supply replenished on the same day. 68 number of doses were allotted to the hospital on that day and they got used up within one hour.
I wondered how I was going to be able to get myself vaccinated if this was the state of affairs. The problem was, I was trying to avail the vaccination facility like a common man, standing in a queue, whereas I should have done it like a VIP, which I was for the Railway hospital, seeing that I headed the Railway workshop that employed 60% of all Railway employees based in Gorakhpur. My workplace was easily the biggest industrial workplace in Gorakhpur.
The next day of vaccination in the hospital was 5 april 2021, viz the next monday. This time I took no chances and asked my steno to phone up the doctor incharge of vaccination informing him that I would like to get vaccinated on that day. I went there, through the doctor’s entrance rather than the public entrance, which I was told was jampacked. My workplace has a small health unit headed by a lady doctor and she too was available there to make fuss over me-“hato hato saahab aaye hain”, getting the doctor incharge of vaccination to come and greet me etc. and in general to get my vaccination fast tracked. I had already filled up my form the previous day itself. As ID proof, I had attached my Aadhaar Card. That data gets filled in a computer, which verifies the Aadhaar card from UIDAI site. That done, the lady doctor made sure that I was the first person of the day to get vaccinated. 🙂
The vaccinated people are supposed to stay there for half an hour under observation to see that no adverse effect takes place on them. I did not feel any adverse effect, so I informed the lady doctor and left for the workplace. From there I informed my wife and daughter that I had taken my first dose. My daughter asked me to immediately take one tablet of paracetomol then and another tablet in the evening. But I am not feeling any ill effects, I protested. Still my daughter ordered me to take one tablet immediately which I duly did.
I realised after some time that I did not get the vaccination certificate that my wife and daughter had got. I thought that I would be able to get it using my Aadhaar Card number and registered mobile number. I was not far off in my guess but I also needed another information, viz Beneficiary Reference ID, which gets generated during registration at the vaccination centre. I asked my steno to find out this Beneficiary Reference ID. The steno found it out and even downloaded my Vaccination certificate on a nice photographic paper and presented in to me. So I had my vaccination certificate at hand. Later I downloaded a pdf copy on my mobile too and shared it with my wife and daughter.
This certificate is a miracle of Digital India initiative.It gives everyone a clearcut and foolproof, fully traceable, six sigma quality documentation of the progress of vaccination in the country. The details of all vaccination get updated in real time and they then figure in the live figures of vaccination at the site named cowin.gov.in.
The vaccination certificate has all the relevant details one can think of namely beneficiary details (name, age, gender, ID verification details, residence) and also vaccination details (name of vaccine, date of dose, next due date, vaccinated by, and place of vaccination). The certificate also had a machine readable bar code.
VaccineCertificate
When one looks at the vaccine certificate of USA (left in the picture above), technologically the most advanced nation on earth, one finds that their vaccine certificate is quite amateurish and that can be easily manipulated and forged. Their certificate will not pass muster as a legally valid document as it hardly contains any details, just name, vaccine name and date, and an illegible signature. That is all. There is no unique ID (say Social security number) mentioned in the certificate. Israeli certificate (right on the picture above)on the other hand is professionally made, as is expected of them.
I have mentioned earlier that many media houses, and also political parties are trying disinformation campaigns about the vaccines. There are many less informed people who fall prey to such malicious disinformation campaign. One school friend of my daughter phoned her. Her father had fallen prey to one such youtube video and he was refusing to listen to anyone and he would not get himself vaccinated. Would my daughter try to convince him ? How could I, if you and your mother couldnot, but let me try- my daughter replied. So my daughter was connected on phone to her old friend’s father. He stated that this youtube uploader has given such gory details about the process of vaccine manufacture that no one with a conscious could ever get these vaccines. My daughter asked him to get the credentials of this video uploader verified on wikipedia etc. Was he a qualified medical practitioner or belonged to pharma industry ? If not then his facts were imaginary, she informed him. But the Indian vaccines have been develoed in just two months, so these vaccines are fake as informed by this uploader- he stated. My daughter advised him about the vaccine development stages, that there are five stages, each stage is stringent. Initally tests are conducted on animals, then on humans, then the vaccines get certified by a regulatory agency. All this has taken nearly a year. The covishield vaccine has been certified fit for use in several countries, and not just India. In any case, this vaccine is developed not in India, but in UK, and India is only producing it under license, my daughter informed him.
Two days later, my daughter’s friend phoned again, and thanked my daughter profusely. After my daughter’s talk, her father had checked up on the credentials of the youtube uploader and had realised that he was unqualified to discuss this matter. He also realised that the vaccines had passed all the stages that vaccines are required to pass. So he had gone to the nearest vaccine center and had got himself vaccinated. That way, my daughter may have helped bring peace and harmony to the disturbed household of her old school friend. I felt quite proud of my daughter. It means she has the ability to convince others, which is a good ability to have for anyone.
The fact that India is self reliant in covid vaccines and is even in a position to export it to half the countries of the world is a matter of great pride for all Indians. This has been made possible by those Indians ho have lived in India and have tried to make a difference in the country. For instance, Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotec are doing cutting edge work in their field. On this occasion of natinal and international emergency they have risen to the challenge and are helping the country fight this pandemic with confidence.
On this occasion, here is a song that catches the same feeling of national pride. This song is from “Swades”(2004). The song is sung and composed by A R Rahman. Javed Akhtar is the lyricist. This song plays in the background, hich the picturisation shows Shahrukh Khan, playing an NRI working in NASA dying to come back to India and give back to the nation. A very moving and inspirational song indeed !

I was not around when India got freedom from British Raj. When I was growing up, we were told that India won her freedom through non violent movement. Some people like Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Subhash Chandra Bose etc found passing mention who were not part of non violent movement.
I was around when Bangladesh won her freedom from Pakistan in 1971. I was surprised to know what Bangladeshis are taught about their freedom. They are taught that Mukti bahini defeated Pakistani army and secured freedom for Bangladesh from Pakistan ! There is no mention of the fact that there was a full fledged war between India and Pakistan and that Pakistanis army, with 93000 Pakistani soldiers, surrendered before Indian army in Dhaka, leading to the independence of Bangladesh. There is a famous surrender photograph to prove it.
As for Pakistan, they are taught in their text books that Pakistan had defeated India in 1971 war but the scheming Indians in collusion with the entire world got Bangladesh to separate from Pakistan. There is no mention of the fact in Pakistani history textbooks that Pakistani army massacred 3 million East Pakistanis and raped 5 lakh East Pakistani women in what was a human right abuse second only to what was perperated by Nazis on jews during second world war, which ultimately led to the liberation of Bangladesh.
Who knows, we Indians too may have been been disinformed about our freedom struggle the way Bangladeshis are disinformed about their freedom from Pakistan ! Today, in the era of internet we have access to information over and above what we were taught in India in our history textbooks. And the facts that emerge from these independent sources differ from what we have been told in India.
When the second world war ended, Britain had paid a heavy price for their war efforts. Britain, which was the largest economy in the world a few decades ago, found their economy in a bad shape. So much so that they had to take loan from USA (the new superpower) to shore up their economy. Britain had looted the resources of their colonies and they could no longer afford to hold on to their colonies as holding on to them had become prohibitively expensive for them.
Here is the lowdown about British economy in the aftermath of world war 2:-
Labour rejoiced at its political triumph, the first independent parliamentary majority in the party’s history, but it faced grave problems. The war had stripped Britain of virtually all its foreign financial resources, and the country had built up “sterling credits”—debts owed to other countries that would have to be paid in foreign currencies—amounting to several billion pounds. Moreover, the economy was in disarray. Some industries, such as aircraft manufacture, were far larger than was now needed, while others, such as railways and coal mines, were desperately short of new equipment and in bad repair. With nothing to export, Britain had no way to pay for imports or even for food. To make matters worse, within a few weeks of the surrender of Japan, on September 2, 1945, U.S. President Harry S. Truman, as he was required to do by law, ended lend-lease, upon which Britain had depended for its necessities as well as its arms. John Maynard Keynes, as his last service to Great Britain, had to negotiate a $3.75 billion loan from the United States and a smaller one from Canada. In international terms, Britain was bankrupt.
Also this:
Withdrawal from the empire
——————————
Britain, not entirely by coincidence, was also beginning its withdrawal from the empire. Most insistent in its demand for self-government was India. The Indian independence movement had come of age during World War I and had gained momentum with the Massacre of Amritsar of 1919. The All-India Congress Party, headed by Mohandas K. Gandhi, evoked sympathy throughout the world with its policy of nonviolent resistance, forcing Baldwin’s government in the late 1920s to seek compromise. The eventual solution, embodied in the Government of India Act of 1935, provided responsible government for the Indian provinces, the Indianization of the civil service, and an Indian parliament, but it made clear that the Westminster Parliament would continue to legislate for the subcontinent. The act pleased no one, neither the Indians, the Labour Party, which considered it a weak compromise, nor a substantial section of the Conservative Party headed by Churchill, which thought it went too far. Agitation in India continued.Further British compromise became inevitable when the Japanese in the spring of 1942 swept through Burma to the eastern borders of India while also organizing in Singapore a large Indian National Army and issuing appeals to Asian nationalism. During the war, Churchill reluctantly offered increasing installments of independence amounting to dominion status in return for all-out Indian support for the conflict. These offers were rejected by both the Muslim minority and the Hindu majority.
The election of a Labour government at the end of World War II coincided with the rise of sectarian strife within India. The new administration determined with unduly urgent haste that Britain would have to leave India. This decision was announced on June 3, 1947, and British administration in India ended 10 weeks later, on August 15. Burma (now Myanmar) and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) received independence by early 1948. Britain, in effect, had no choice but to withdraw from colonial territories it no longer had the military and economic power to control.
The same circumstances that dictated the withdrawal from India required, at almost the same time, the termination of the mandate in Trans-Jordan, the evacuation of all of Egypt except the Suez Canal territory, and in 1948 the withdrawal from Palestine, which coincided with the proclamation of the State of Israel. It has been argued that the orderly and dignified ending of the British Empire, beginning in the 1940s and stretching into the 1960s, was Britain’s greatest international achievement. However, like the notion of national unity during World War II, this interpretation can also be seen largely as a myth produced by politicians and the press at the time and perpetuated since. The ending of empire was calculated upon the basis of Britain’s interests rather than those of its colonies. National interest was framed in terms of the postwar situation—that is, of an economically exhausted, dependent Britain, now increasingly caught up in the international politics of the Cold War. What later became known as “decolonization” was very often shortsighted, self-interested, and not infrequently bloody, as was especially the case in Malaysia (where the politics of anticommunism played a central role) and in Kenya.
So, as can be seen from the accounts of British historians, Britain was in no position to hold on to its colonies and they left these colonies as soon as they could. It is not just India, but also other colonies that got liberated one after other in the wake of world war 2. The circumstances that led to British haste was only partially to do with Mahatma Gandhi led movement. British historians mention Indian National Army also as a reason, something which Indian historians sought to push under the carpet.
The report also mentions rise of sectarian strifes within India. So those indulging in sectarian strifes were certainly not following non violence as preached by Gandhiji, but they too were contributing to British unease. It also shows that British rules found themselved unable to prevent these sectarian violences.
It would appear to me that British rulers did not fear non violent protest as much as they feared violence. It is the violence that began frequent in the second half of 1940s that unnerved the British. British ruled India through a machinery manned by Indians.
The INA trials, the stories of Subhas Chandra Bose (“Netaji”), as well as the stories of INA’s fight during the Siege of Imphal and in Burma were seeping into the glaring public-eye at the time. These, received through the wireless sets and the media, fed discontent and ultimately inspired rebellion in the ranks of navy.
A rebellion of Royal Indian air force, followed by a full fledged mutiny of Royal Indian Navy did take place in 1946. From the initial flashpoint in Bombay on 18 february 1946, the revolt spread and found support throughout British India, from Karachi to Calcutta, and ultimately came to involve over 20,000 sailors in 78 ships and shore establishments.
The mutiny was suppressed by British troops and Royal Navy warships. Total casualties were 8 dead and 33 wounded.
The rebelling Indian Naval personnel began calling themselves the “Indian National Navy” and offered left-handed salutes to British officers. At some places, NCOs in the British Indian Army ignored and defied orders from British superiors. In Madras and Poona (now Pune), the British garrisons had to face some unrest within the ranks of the Indian Army. Widespread rioting took place from Karachi to Calcutta. Notably, the revolting ships hoisted three flags tied together – those of the Congress, Muslim League, and the Red Flag of the Communist Party of India (CPI), signifying the unity and downplaying of communal issues among the mutineers.
The revolt was called off following a meeting between the President of the Naval Central Strike Committee (NCSC), M. S. Khan, and Vallab Bhai Patel of the Congress, who had been sent to Bombay to settle the crisis. Patel issued a statement calling on the strikers to end their action, which was later echoed by a statement issued in Calcutta by Mohammed Ali Jinnah on behalf of the Muslim League. Under these considerable pressures, the strikers gave way. Arrests were then made, followed by courts martial and the dismissal of 476 sailors from the Royal Indian Navy. None of those dismissed were reinstated into either the Indian or Pakistani navies after independence.
As can be guessed, such s revolt by a wing of armed forces is a serious matter and it must have unnerved the British. And just look at the name that these mutineers chose for themselves- India National Navy. Clearly inspired from the name “Indian National Army” that Subhash Chandra Bose had given to his army. So Subhash Chandra Bose was influencing Indian armed forces in a manner that was not to the liking of British government.
The weekly intelligence summary issued on 25 March 1946 admitted that the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force units were no longer trustworthy, and, for the Army, “only day to day estimates of steadiness could be made”. The situation has thus been deemed the “Point of No Return.”
In 1967 during a seminar discussion marking the 20th anniversary of Independence; it was revealed by the British High Commissioner of the time John Freeman (1965-1968), that the mutiny of 1946 had raised the fear of another large scale mutiny along the lines of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, from the 2.5 million Indian soldiers who had participated in the Second World War. The mutiny had accordingly been a large contributing factor to the British deciding to leave India. “The British were petrified of a repeat of the 1857 Mutiny, since this time they feared they would be slaughtered to the last man”.
There it is. The main reason why British left India was not non violent movement of independence, but fear of rebellion like in 1857, and this time fear of rebellion by armed forces, and not just some small time rulers (as in 1857). This fact was admitted by no less than a person than the British High Commissioner to India. And this state of affairs was caused by Subhash Chandra Bose. It was this kind of influence that Subhash Chandra Bose had on collective psyche of British rulers. It is a fact that has been carefully kept hidden by Indian historians. In fact the naval mutiny was not even known to most Indians. It has become known only in later decades when gathering information became easier thanks to internet.
This view that Mahatma Gandhi’s new found weapon of non violence defeated British and that Subhash Chandra Bose was just a misguided partiot who failed to see the merits of non violence was not exactly subscribed to by British rulers. For that matter it was not even subscribed to by large sections of people in India itself, viz those who were demanding separate Pakistan through violent means such as direct action day (16 august 1946) which saw an estimated 4000 people dead in bloody violence in one day. This violence sparked off further religious riots in the surrounding regions of Noakhali, Bihar, United Provinces (modern Uttar Pradesh), Punjab, and the North Western Frontier Province. These events sowed the seeds for the eventual Partition of India.
In summary, Subhash Chandra Bose’s contribution to Indian independence is far greater than what he is given credit for. His contribution has been conveniently pushed under the carpet. Hopefully, in future, his contribution will be realised and appreciated. He was not a misguided patriot, he was a great visionary, who had the drive and energy to implement his vision. He raised Indian National Army. His army got defeated no doubt, but it was defeated by fellow Indians fighting for British army. It was the age old problem of India, where Indians, at the behest of foreign powers, would act against Indian interests. No doubt INA got defeated and a few of their personnel were subjected to trial, but these trials galvanised Indian public, including sections of Indian armed forces. That way, Subhash Chandra Bose (by that time already dead) turned the tables on the British rulers. Even though his army was defeated, his army caught the imagination of Indians and drew widespread public support for themselves during INA trials. British rulers were more afraid of the prospect of armed forces rebellion, which could have happened at any time according to the assessment of British rulers. So that was a major reason why they left India in a hurry.
We have been discussing songs from “Bose-A Forgotten Hero”(2004) on 23 January of various years. So far we have covered three songs from the movie on 23rd January of three different years as shown below:-

The routine of these posts is always the same, Avinash Scrapala, our inhouse hardcore patriot who keeps track of the anniversaries of various freedom fighters, sends me the lyrics, with request for my writeup. 🙂 He knows that I cannot help but summon up my increasingly dwindling creative juices to come up with some heartfelt tribute on the occasion.
So here it is, yet another song from “Bose The Forgotten Hero”(2004) on the occasion of the 125th birth anniversary (DoB 23 January 1897) of Subhash Chandra Bose.
The song is sung and composed by A R Rahman. Some chorus is also there but their words are not clear. Lyrics are by Jawed Akhtar.
Only the audio of the song seems to be available. I request our readers with keener ears to help fill in the blanks in the lyrics.

Today (23 january 2019) is the birth anniversary of Subhash Chandra Bose, one of the most admired freedom fighters of India.
One year ago, I had written a detailed writeup about his escape from his house arrest. That writeup was accompanied by the song Jodi tor daak..tanha raahi apni raah chalta jaayegaa.
Writing that article was quite a emotional roller coaster ride for me, because I tried to imagine all the meticulous planning of that escape, including the successful execution of the plan.
In the process, I watched snippets of the movie “Bose The forgotten Hero”(2004) which contains this song.
Lyrics of that song were sent to me by Avinash Scrapwala. One year later, he sent the lyrics of another song from the movie to be posted on this occasion with a request of a writeup by me because I have seen the movie. No, I have not seen the movie. I have only seen parts of it, because I cannot bear to see the full movie even though I know that it is a movie and the scenes depicted in the movie happened over seven decades ago.
So, my writeup is not based on my watching the movie, rather it is based on my impressions on Subhash Chandra Bose.
It seems to me, and many people would agree that his contributions towards the independence movement has been vastly underrated and attempts have been made to consign his contribution to just a few lines. We have been fed the history that non violent agitations led by Mahatma Gandhi won us our freedom.
When I try to think about it now, it does not seem to add up. If non violent agitations gave us freedom, then what explains the violence that took place during the partition ? Why the proponents of these non violence agitations agreed to the participation of Indian armymen in the second world war and also the first world war before that ? If people in India really followed non violence, then what explains the Indo Pak wars that took place and the terror attacks that are taking place from across the border.
When one tries to look at the reasons for the independence of India, it appears that the reason why India got independence was not Non violent agitations but it was mainly due to the precarious economical situation of Britain.
Britain which used to be the strongest economy in the world till the 18th century found itself being overtaken by USA and Germany by the turn of 19th century. USA was able to cash in because it pioneered new indstries, viz automobiles, motorbikes and aircrafts and became the leading manufacturer of these new technology items. The first world war and later the second world war devastated British economy. After the second world war ended Britain had lost much of its absolute wealth. Its trade reduced to just one third vis a vis its pre war trade. Dollar had become the preferred currency and Britain had shortage of dollars to pay off its wartime debts. As an emergency measure, Britain began to hive off its overseas assets. USA extracted a heavy price from Britain for getting involved in the second world war. Britain had to take a loan of $ 4.33 billions from USA. Winter of 1946-47 broke the back of British economy, with cutrailed economic production and shortage of coal. The situation reeached its worst in August 1947 !
Is it a coincidence that India got its independence in August 1947 ! With the benefit of all the information contained in the above para, it appears that Britain were in no position to be able to hold on to India any longer. Even if there were no agitations, violent or otherwise, Britain woould have left India sooner or later.
It appears to me that holding on to the Indian empire was becoming more and more prohibitively expensive for Britain. It would seem to me that “Non violent” agitations were not the only thing Britain had to worry. They also had to worry about the real possibility of disenchantment in the natives who manned Indian Army. The contribution of Subhash Chandra Bose’s Azad Hind Fauz, which actually participated in world war II cannot be underestimated.
The end of the war saw a large number of the troops of Azad Hind Fauz repatriated to India where some faced trials for treason at Red Fort in Delhi. Instead of acting as a deterrent,as hoped by the British, these trials became a galvanising point in the Indian Independence movement. The Bombay mutiny in the Royal Indian Navy and other mutinies in 1946 are thought to have been caused by the nationalist feelings that were caused by the INA trials. Many historians believe that these events played a crucial role in hastening the end of British rule in India.
After independence, Gandhian freedom fighters were given the status of freedom fighters but Azad Hind Fauz members were denied this privilege. Nevertheless, the Azad Hind Fauz remains a popular and passionate topic in Indian culture and politics.
India became politically independent on 15 august 1947. It wold take decades and decades of slog with lots of troubles enroute, before Indian fortunes would begin to look up and they would shrug off the tag of a begging bowl nation and subsequently a nation considered the fastest growing major nation in the world. I would cover this vast topic in another writeup on the occasion of Republic day, which falls three day later.
For now, let us listen to this song of hope. The hopes of securing independence. The hopes of living happily ever after. The song is a chorus song. Jawed Akhtar is the lyricist. Music is composed by A R Rahman.
Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Avinash Scrapwala.
