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.

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.

Hindi Songs in Bangla Films:36

It has been almost one year when I wrote my last article under the series ‘Hindi songs from Bangla films’ on July 23, 2020 in the Blog. There are some more Hindi songs from Bangla films which are yet to be covered. But most of them are those films from which at least one song has been covered in the Blog. So, I kept the series on the back-burner.

Ganpati Bappa Morya
Pudcha Varshi Lavkar Ya
Ganesh Chaturthi is the festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha. It falls on the Shukla Chaturthi (4th day after Amavasya) in the month of Bhadrapada of the Hindu calendar i.e. August-September of the Gregorian calendar. Now this is common to the whole of India. And everyone has their own list of prasad that they offer to the lord. And all the panchang reading elders will tell us that when the Chaturthi starts etc and for how many days the festival will be for (usually 10) but due to the lunar calendar that is followed there will be some ghatika calculations which will determine if the festival ends on the 10th or 11th day.
