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.

Hampi, one of the World Heritage Sites of India, was once the capital of Vijayanagar Empire in the 16th century and was the wealthiest city under the Empire. Most of the monuments had been damaged and the wealth looted by the then neighbouring sultanates in the war with Vijayanagar Empire. We had visited Hampi in January 2012 and stayed there for 4 days. Some monuments are still intact, and they are awesome so also the remains of the ruined monuments. The visit to Hampi momentarily gave us a feeling that we were in the memory lane of the Vijayanagar Empire of the 16th century as Hampi, now as a village, retains the charm of a bygone era.

About a decade ago, I had watched a Marathi film, ‘Katyaar Kaljat Ghusali’ (2015) in the very first week when it was released in a multiplex. The literal meaning of the film’s title in English is ‘a dagger speared the heart’. It was near houseful crowd with an overwhelming majority being senior citizens. Probably, most of them may have watched the play in the theatre during their younger days and they may be curious to watch in the cinematic form. The film still lingers in my mind, and I have watched all its songs umpteen times. It is one of the recent viewing of the songs from the film that has prompted me to write this article.

William Shakespeare’s plays such as ‘Othello’, ‘Macbeth’, ‘Hamlet’, ‘Romeo And Juliet’, ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, ’12th Night’, The Comedy of Errors’ etc have been adapted in Hindi films. These Shakespearian plays have romance, emotions, tragedy, melodrama, actions etc and Hindi mainstream filmmakers thrive on such ingredients in the film. The most popular Shakespeare’s play which have been adapted for Hindi films is ‘Romeo and Juliet’. There may be at least a dozen Hindi films adapted and inspired from this play. From the summary version of this play which I have read, two important aspects in the play emerge. First, the lovers are from two different feuding families who desperately try to separate them. Second, from the incipient stage of their love, there are strong indications that they are not going to be united and at the end, they die as doomed lovers. So, the adapted films need to have these two important aspects to qualify as a fair adaptation of Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’. The viewers must feel that it is tragic love story from start to end. Insofar as Hindi adapted films are concerned, I feel that Jaddan Bai’s ‘Romeo and Juliet (1947), directed by her son, Akhtar Hussain with her daughter, Nargis playing the role of Juliet, can be said to be the first version in Hindi film with an earnest degree of adaptation of Shakespeare’s play. In fact, this film has accredited William Shakespeare as the ‘story writer’. Films such as ‘Ek Duje Ke Liye’ (1981) and ‘Qayaamat Se Qayaamat Tak’ (1988), also fulfill this criteria.
