The cast included Om Puri, Reshmi Ghosh, Jeet Goswami, Yashpal Sharma, Rajeshwari Sachdev, Virendra Saxena, Rajeev Verma, Savita Prabhune, Rekha Sahay, Upasana Singh etc. The film was based on Munshi Premchand’s Urdu novel by the same name which he had also written in Hindi with the title, ‘Seva Sadan’.

It is interesting to note that the first talkie film based on this novel with the name, ‘Seva Sadan (alternative name, ‘Baazaar-E-Husn’) was released in 1934 which was produced by Mahalakshmi Cinetone, jointly owned by director Nanubhai Vakil and the actress, Zubeida. In this film, Jaddan Bai (mother of Nargis), Shahu Modak and Zubeida were the main actors. Another interesting information about this film was that the dialogues were written by Munshi Premchand himself. A Tamil film, ‘Seva Sadanam’ (1938) was also based on Munshi Premchand’s novel by the same name in which M S Subbulaxmi did the role of novel’s protagonist, Suman.

I find Hindi films with a broader genre of road trips (or journey in any mode) quite interesting. In such films, events happen during the journeys which usually culminate into sub-genres such as romance, comedy, social drama, suspense thriller etc. In this broad category, I have watched films like ‘Nau Do Gyaarah’ (1957), ‘Caravan’ (1971), ‘Bombay To Goa’ (1972), ‘Dil Hai Ki Maanta Naheen’ (1991),‘Dil Chaahta Hai’ (2001), ‘Jab We Met’ (2007), ‘Zindagi Na Milengi Dobaara’ (2011), ‘Finding Fanny’ (2014), ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ (2015), ‘Piku’ (2015), ‘Dhanak’ (2015), ‘Qareeb Qareeb Single’ (2017) and many more. ‘Kaarwaan’ (2018) is my recent addition in watching films in the genre of road trips.

The film’s title, ‘Fanney Khan’ (2018) with its star cast created interest in me when the film was formally announced. Just as the name ‘Natwarlal’ is identified with a conman, ‘Fanney Khan’ is identified with a man who boasts of his high achievements but in reality, others do not consider him as such. However, in the teaser of ‘Fanney Khan’ (2018), the meaning of ‘Fanney Khan’ has been explained in the context of the film as ‘someone who is an artist, a musician, a dreamer or even a complete idiot’. My interest in the film waned on reading the adverse reviews of the film after the film got a theatrical release on August 4, 2018. After a gap of nearly six years of the film’s release, I am liking a couple of songs from this film. So, I watched the film on a video sharing platform. It is nearly six months after I watched the film, I thought of writing an article on the film covering one of the songs I liked.

Hullo Atuldom

Just heard this absolutely melodious Holi song in the voice of Shreya Ghoshal which I felt should find a place in this blog.

It is from a recent film- “Begum Jaan” which released in 2017 (already 8 years). It was directed and co-written by National Film Award-winning director Srijit Mukherji in his Hindi directional debut and produced by Mukesh Bhatt, Vishesh Bhatt and Play Entertainment. The film is co-produced by Sakshi Bhatt and Shree Venkatesh Films with executive producer Kumkum Saigal. Lyrics, additional screenplay and dialogues have been penned by Kausar Munir and Rahat Indori. Anu Malik was the music director of the 6 songs that were sung by Asha Bhonsle, Shreya Ghoshal, Kavita Seth, Sonu Nigam, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Srijit Singh, Kalpana Patowary, Altamash Faridi, and Anmol Malik (Anu Malik’s daughter).

Greetings on the occasion of Maha Shivratri which is being celebrated today (26 February 2025).

In Kolhapur district of Maharashtra, there is a small village called Khidrapur located close to Karnataka border. The village has an ancient Shiva temple known as Kopeshwar temple at the shore of River Krishna. I had visited Kopeshwar temple in October 2014 which is about 40 kms south of Sangli. There were no other visitors as this temple is not well-known. The temple priest told me that during Maha Shivratri and Navaratri, devotees from adjoining villages and the neighbouring districts visit the temple in large numbers.

I had not much thought about the film ‘Looteraa’ (2013) when it was released. At that time, I was not even aware of the main cast of the film. So, my first impression from the title of the film was that it may be of an upgraded version of ‘B’ grade films of 1950s and 60s type with the use of the latest technological advancements in moviemaking. After more than a decade, the film has come to my attention because of one of its songs, sanwaar loon haay sanwaar loon which I have come across the recent times in short video reels. The full video song made me to watch the film.

Hullo Atuldom

Wishing all Indians a Very Happy Republic Day.

(Cannot recall people greeting each other in this manner in the pre-WhatsApp days, though. 🤔)

Its India’s 76th Republic Day and as I can see we have had some patriotic songs posted on the blog over the last few days thanks to Avinashji remembering the efforts of Azad Hind Sena, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and all the patriots of the freedom struggle that culminated in India’s Independence in 1947.

Writing is a constant search for someone who understands it. I love literature but I would like to love it a hundred times more. I am not an angry young man. I am a hungry young man. I want to learn Kannada, Urdu, Punjabi, Tamil, Bengali, Telugu. I want to love literature in a hundred different ways. My only worry is that I cannot love it enough.

The relationship between Rabindranath Tagore and me is that of a donor and a forever unsatisfied solicitor (अतृप्त याचक).

Thus said P. L. Deshpande on his literary journey in Film’s Division’s documentary on his 60th birthday. What he said sums up his infinite love for literature.
