Today, April 29, 2023, is the 3rd Remembrance Day of Irrfan Khan, the actor par excellence. After Guru Dutt, I think, he was the only actor whose eyes spoke more than his dialogues.
It was during the shooting of ‘Qarib Qarib Singlle’ (2017) that Irrfan Khan fell sick giving him a feeling that all was not well with his health. After the release of the film in November 2017, Irrfan Khan revealed through his twitter handle in March 2018 that he was diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumors. He was under treatment in the UK for a year. After recovering from his illness, he returned to India in early 2019 and commenced the shooting for ‘Angrezi Medium’ (2020). The bout of illness resurfaced which prevented him in participating in the promotion of ‘Angrezi Medium’ (2020). He was admitted in a hospital in Mumbai on April 28, 2020, and left for the heavenly abode on April 29, 2020, at the age of 53. By the way, on the eve of Irrfan Khan’s 3rd Remembrance Day, Swiss-French Production’s Hindi (with Rajasthani dialect) film, ‘The Song of Scorpions’ (2023) in which he acted in the lead role, is scheduled to get a theatrical release in India on April 28, 2023.
Irrfan Khan (07/01/1967 – 20/04/2023) was born in Jaipur in a middle-class family, which once belonged to one of the noble families of Tonk in Rajasthan. His father had a business of tyres. From the childhood, he was an introvert person. Surprisingly, he was also an vegetarian from his childhood. His father used to make fun of him that mistakenly a brahmin has been born in his family. He completed his schooling and graduation in Arts from Jaipur. His mother wanted him to become a professor but his interest was to become an actor. During his teenage years, Irrfan Khan used to participate in amateur dramas in Jaipur. He was a fan of Hindi films and used to watch Hindi films regularly. From that time onwards, he had made up his mind to become an actor in Hindi films. He had decided to enroll for post-graduation in Theatre in the National School of Drama (NSD), Delhi. However, with his father’s death, it was not possible to leave Jaipur for Delhi. Being the eldest son, it became his responsibility to look after his mother and, a younger brother. That meant that he had to run his father’s tyre shop. Later, it was his younger brother who took the responsibility of looking after his father’s tyre shop that made him possible to join NSD in 1986. His elder sister helped him in paying fees for the enrollment in NSD.
After completing his post-graduation in theatre from NSD, Irrfan Khan went through a very hard struggle to get the entry into Hindi films. On the advice of Tigmanshu Dhulia, one of his batch-mate in NSD and also his close friend (now a producer-director-actor-writer), Irrfan Khan shifted to Mumbai in 1988. But it was very hard to get even a respectable role in Hindi films. Because of his introvert nature, he was not good at marketing himself as an actor. For the livelihood, he started working in TV Serials. Two of his prominent roles in TV serial which I saw was that of playing historian Badayuni in ‘Bharat Ek Khoj’ (1988) and the Urdu Poet, Makhdoom Mohiuddin in ‘Kahkashan’ (1991). His first acting assignment in Meera Nair’s ‘Salaam Bombay’ (1989) was reduced to a cameo role in the final cut which made his moral low. [Note: The personal information about Irrfan Khan is based on a couple of his TV interviews].
Irrfan Khan got some small roles in Hindi films like ‘Kamala Ki Maut’ (1989), ‘Drishti’ (1990), ‘Ek Doctor Ki Maut’ (1991) and many more but these films did not made the audience to carry a lasting impression about his acting, probably due to small roles and sometime inconsequential roles. After a disappointing decade of 1990s for Irrfan Khan, a silver lining came in his filmy career when London-based director Asif Kapadia offered him the lead role in the movie, ‘The Warrior’ (2001). The film ran successfully and was a hit in international film festivals, making Irrfan Khan an internationally known actor.
Irrfan Khan acted as a villain in ‘Haasil’ (2003), his close friend, Tigmanshu Dhulia’s first film as a director. The film was critically acclaimed though it failed at the box office. However, Irrfan Khan’s villainous role was very much appreciated with his Allahabadi Hindi accent. His other critically acclaimed films included Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Maqbool’ (2004), Mira Nair’s ‘Namesake’ (2006), Anurag Basu’s ‘Life in Metro’ (2007), Danny Boyle’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ (2008). Tigmanshu Dhulia’s ‘Paan Singh Tomar’ (2012) brought a second boost in the acting career of Irrfan Khan making him as an accomplished actor. He won the National Award for the best actor in this film. He justified his position as an actor par excellence in his subsequent Hindi films like ‘Lunch Box’ (2013), ‘Piku’ (2015), ‘Qarib Qarib Singlle’ (2017), ‘Hindi Medium’ (2017) and his last released film, ‘Angrezi Medium’ (2020). For the last two films, Irrfan Khan won Filmfare’s best actor awards.
During His active filmy career, Irrfan Khan acted in around 85 films. 18 films remained unreleased as of the date. I have watched most of his critically acclaimed films. Irrfan Khan does not have any particular mannerism in his acting like Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna, Shahrukh Khan etc. These star-actors had huge fan following who would expect their favorite star-actors to repeat their mannerism in all films. Irrfan Khan, on the other hand, has fan followers who seem to like his varied roles with an unconventional acting style.
On the occasion of the 3rd Remembrance Day of Irrfan Khan, I have selected one of the songs from his film, ‘Qarib Qarib Singlle’ (2017) in which he teamed up with Malayalam actress, Parvathy in lead roles. It is a romantic comedy, a genre in which Irrfan Khan has never done the role as a lead actor in his previous films. The film is produced by Ajay Rai and Sutapa Sikdar (wife of Irrfan Khan) and is directed by Tanuja Chandra. Other supporting cast of the film included Neha Dhupia, Isha Sharvani, Pushti Shakti, Luke Kenny, Brijendra Kala, Navneet Nishan, Siddharth Menon, Bajrang Bali Singh, Avneet Kaur etc.
I have watched the film on OTT sometime last month. The film turned out to be beyond my expectation. I liked the unusual romantic story of single couple, Irrfan Khan and Parvathy during their journey from Rishikesh to Jaipur and finally to Gangtok. They are not usual hero and heroine of the mainstream Hindi films. They travel to these places simply because Irrfan Khan’s three ex-girlfriends are well settled at these places and he would like Parvathy to know that despite his break-up with them, they still remember him and he is welcome at their respective houses. During the journey, both Irrfan Khan and Parvathy appear pole apart in their temperaments. But towards the end of their journey, they realize that they love each other and their differences in temperaments complement each other as a couple.
The film was critically acclaimed. Performances of both Irrfan Khan and Parvathy were highly appreciated. But that did not reflect positively on film’s box office collections. I found the film interesting to watch. The protagonist in the film is Parvathy and the very nature of her role, she has to be less talkative and to act like lacking in confidence which she does very well. But it is Irrfan Khan who generates interest for the audience through his extroversion and witty presence.
‘Qarib Qarib Singlle’ has 4 songs written by Raj Shekhar (2) and Hussain Haidry (2). These songs were set to music by Vishal Mishra (2) and Rochak Kohli (2). All songs are apt to the situations. In addition, there was a Sufi Qawwali which was edited out at the final cut.
I am presenting the film’s first song “Wo Jo Tha Khwaab Sa” to appear on the Blog. The song is sung by Atif Aslam. Raj Shekhar has written the song which is set to music by Vishal Mishra. The song does not have the second antara in the film’s soundtrack while audio clip contains full song. I like the song for its philosophical lyrics and the way Atif Aslam has brought the emotion in his rendering.
In the film, the song is played in the background as Jaya, while in Gangtok, decides to meet her ex-boyfriend (Luke Kenny). On the other hand, Yogi (Irrfan Khan) after meeting his all three ex-girlfriends, gets looped into his past relationships. Note how Irrfan Khan’s eyes speak when he secretly watches the dance trainer, Isha Sharwani who was one of his ex-girlfriends. The lyrics by Raj Shekhar is philosophical. The substance of the song is why should one spoil the present enjoyable moments by recalling and conducting ‘post-mortem’ of the past break-ups? Whether one should be loath about the past break-ups and look for the reasons therefor as to what went wrong or to move on to enjoy whatever one has for the present. The frequent refrain ‘jaane de’ in the song is emphasizing on these two options.

Celebrating a wedding at Bangalore
———————————————-
The wedding of my nephew (Elder sisters son) was solemnised at Bangalore in the last week of December. The groom is born in Mumbai, but has grown up studied and now working also in Bangalore, so he is a Bangaloria, through and through. I used to call him Bangaloria when he was a kid, for the way he would speak the local dialect. The engagement had taken place at Belgaum in August. The bride’s family are very traditional and conservative. They wanted the wedding to take place within 2-3 months. November was the month, they wanted to plan. Since we had our Turkey visit already planned for November end, and my brother had only few days leave in December, somehow, a date suiting all made final.
By the grace of Almighty Allah, all went well with the wedding and all functions. All the guest from different places and overseas, reached on time. The weddings in Bangalore are more disciplined, and set time is adhered to unlike what happens in Mumbai. I applaud the people of Bangalore city, for ‘jhelofying’ the traffic conditions and keeping to the times. The 4 days I spent there; it was like half the life is spend in travel from place to place. Regulars of the blog, from Bangalore can testify, that if 5 km distance travel is involved, ½ an hour travel time is a given. The groom’s house and the bride’s houses are in the areas on opposite side of an arterial road, not very far from the location where the flyover for the airport starts. What all was looking good and convenient and accessible on paper, was not the same on ground. But eventually everyone reached their destinations safely and no one missed anything. Everyone blessed the couple, enjoyed the hearty feasts, and all went home to their own cities and houses and jobs, having made some new memories of the event.
The nikaah was in the morning so that same evening was free for those who wanted to roam around. So, we also did, roam around the city in the car amid heavy traffic on Christmas eve with my sister, cousins, children etc. We were on MG road for a good dining place. I remembered a scene in Aamir Khan’s “Raakh”, which was set in some year 2030 MG road in an Indian metro city. The movie released in 1989 but the story dated some 50 years after. This is what I recall, but not sure. Eventually we left MG road and went to another area where restaurants were open till 2.00 am. Bangalore has changed in this regard in last 11-12 years.
Weddings are special, in the way they bring people together to catch up, relive the old times. Meeting and greeting the close and far off relations, plus old friends, with whom we have lost touch is also a bonus. My sisters two close friends live in Mumbai, but do not get to meet each other often. They came to Bangalore to attend the wedding and found a rare opportunity to spend time with each other. They were regular visitors in our house till my sister was alive, and they know most of the extended family also because of this.
Many people who knew my sisters since she shifted to Bangalore in 1994, her neighbours in the earlier house and her business associated, were among the guests at reception by grooms’ side, to bless the new couple. One of the associate/friends at the wedding was actor Feroz Khan’s and singer Kanchan’s cousin, who was used to share film industry’s’ inside news with my sister. My sister was a film buff, like I am a film song buff. She used to pore over filmy gossip magazines.
Let us go back to the wedding. The bride is a sweet girl, who has studied in Belgaum, Shimla, Jaipur, and Ajmer. Due to her father’s posting in Belgaum some years ago and for the last few years, they were staying in Belgaum, where the engagement in August took place. Her family hails from ‘Madanapalle’ in Andhra Pradesh. This place is also known and important for when Rabindra Nath Tagore visited the Besant Theosophical College there. It is known that Rabindra Nath Tagore composed the tune of ‘Jana gana mana’ while staying in Madanapalle. As soon as I got to know that the girl is from a place called “madanapalle”, I googled and got the above trivia.
So here to the addition of new member in the family and to the value addition to the nephew s life, where he is now responsible for another person’s wellbeing and happiness. In the small intimate ceremony of family members at home, right after the wedding, the bride and the groom were asked to sing songs and say a poem where they must take each other’s names. When I suggested this song “aaj se teri saari galiyan meri ho gayin” for the groom to sing for his bride, he did not agree, saying this is very unfair, everything belongs to her and I get nothing, only ‘galiyan’ & ‘gham’! 😊.
But it is only fair that you give her everything that she has left behind in her parent’s house, to come to your place, she brings her destiny with her, joins it with you and makes your house, a home. Alhamdullillah.
So the song I am presenting is the same one, from the film ‘Pad Man”(2017). This is the trivia about the film:
• The film was a “cinematic adaptation” of the life story of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social entrepreneur from Coimbatore. Arunachalam is known for developing low-cost sanitary pads and for increasing awareness about menstrual hygiene practices. The Government of India awarded him the Padma Shri in 2016.
• The film’s concept credited to Twinkle Khanna. While she produced the film, her husband Akshay Kumar played the lead role in it. Twinkle Khanna had written a short story titled “The Sanitary Man of Sacred Land” in 2016 which, like the film, was based on the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham. The story was part of a collection of stories written by her titled “The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad”.
The lead actors in the film were Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor. The song is a written by Kausar Munir and composer is Amit Trivedi. Arjit Singh is the singer. Their tally in the blog so far is this:
| Amit Trivedi | 5 |
| Kausar Munir | 2 |
| Arijit Singh | 7 |
This is a celebratory song, with Akshay Kumar making all type of promises to Radhika Apte and in return only needing her to make ‘maalpue’ sometimes and ‘khul ke muskurana’ sometimes. Cute and generous to boot. ‘Bangaluria” bhanje, do take note.
For history of ‘maalpue’ in the blog, one may revisit this post.

Hullo Atuldom
Today we are wishing the Apple of every cricket-loving-Indian’s eye A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. This pyaara sa bachcha of India turns 47.
He is the inspiration to many in the current Indian cricket squad but he himself was inspired by the likes of Sunny Gavaskar, Kapil Dev etc. He is one lucky guy to have been able to share the dressing room with his idols. He made his debut in the cricketing world as a lad of 16 years and 205 days in Test cricket and was a month older when he got his place in the Indian One-day team. I am not going to state that he is the highest run scorer of all time in international cricket nor am I going to mention that he is the only player to have scored 100 international centuries. I am not a statistician but I used to admire his style of playing. I had a silly feeling that I should be away from the TV whenever he was reaching a milestone like 50 or 100. I remember seeing an India Australia one-day match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and we were rooting for his milestone and he got out 4 or 5 runs short of it; my son and brother-in-law who were with me decided to walk out. That is the kind of sentiments he generated in cricket-lovers.
We have one song from a movie called “Sachin: A Billion Dreams” which was posted on this date two years ago. That was a movie dedicated to the Little Master (as Sunny Gavaskar addressed our birthday boy) also called the Master Blaster by his fans. That movie was a biopic which had the Little Master as he is in flesh and blood. It showed his journey from a lad to the time India lifted the cricket World Cup in 2011. In his journey of nearly 25 years he was ranked the second best test batsman of all time by Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack- first rank being Sir Don Bradman (but of course). He was also the second best ODI batsman of all time, coming second to Vivian Richards. These are not my thoughts about the Little Master but what the followers of cricket feel.
Other than numerous man-of-the-match awards he has been bestowed with the Padma Shri and Padma Vibhushan. He is the only sportsperson to receive the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award. Even if he has retired from the game which he lived for he is never too far from the public eye. We see him regularly on TV in ads and in these trying times, of the current situation the world is facing, we can see him, along with his teammates, urge his fans to “Stay Safe and Be Safe”.
Today’s song is sung and composed by A R Rehman and written by Irshad Kamil.
Let us wish our Sachin 10dulkar (10 was his jersey number too) A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Hullo Atuldom
This is the ideal time for this post as a cricket- crazy nation is enjoying the 10th season of Indian Premier League or IPL as it is called.
It is also the time to celebrate the 45th birthday of’ ‘the god of cricket’. But he himself is rather humble and human enough to say that ‘God of Cricket’ is someone else. He is also called the ‘Master Blaster’. He is a pint-sized tornado that burst on the Indian cricketing scene in 1989 following his awesome performances in the local tournaments of Ranji Trophy, Irani Trophy and Deodhar Trophy. His inclusion into the Mumbai Ranji team happened in 1987 but that year he narrowly missed playing alongside his idol -Sunil Gavaskar who had retired from all forms of cricket after the 1987 Cricket World Cup. But he was used mostly as a substitute fielder. At the age of 15 years and 232 days, in 1988, he was picked to play for Mumbai against Gujarat and scored a century on debut, in fact he has scored centuries on debut in the Irani and Deodhar Trophies too. His brilliance was the talk among cricket followers of Maidan-cricket, in Mumbai, in that period and he was coached by the able master Ramakant Achrekar. At age 14 he attended the MRF Pace Foundation to train as a fast bowler under Dennis Lillee who asked him to concentrate on his batting. He holds a record along with fellow school-mate and India Teammate Vinod Kambli for an unbroken partnership of 664 in a Harris Shield Inter-school tournament. Oh, he has numerous records to his name – youngest player to debut in International games for India being one of them. He was 16 years 205 days at the time of his test debut and 16 years 238 days when made his ODI debut.
If the readers have not yet guessed, I am talking of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, named after his father Ramesh Tendulkar’s favourite music composer- Sachin Dev Burman. (See the cricket to movie connection here, we simply cannot escape the two going parallel). So, like every normal youngster of the late 70s and early 80s cricket was Sachin’s addiction and he was lucky that his parents saw his talent early on and provided facilities to nurture his talent unlike other parents back then who used to feel – “playing all the time meant studies would suffer then what would one do for bread and butter?” It can be safely said that Sachin’s parents, more importantly his mother, must have been inspiration for parents of later cricketers specially from smaller towns and cities of India – hope that explains the emergence of players like the Pathan brothers, Dhoni, Sehwag etc.
These days there is a trend of biopics among filmmakers in Bollywood. I think ‘Bhaag Milka Bhaag’ (2013) was the inspiration for this new set of films. What followed was a movie on Azharuddin (2016), MS Dhoni (2016), wrestler Mary Kom (2014) etc. There was a movie even on the match fixing scandal that rocked cricketing circles and got bans of various durations for the players involved virtually finishing their playing careers.
But I don’t want to talk of sad occurrences like scandal or bans in this post. Let us focus on our birthday boy who played cricket for close to 25 years without a break? No there was a small break when he had an injured elbow and the world learnt what is a tennis-elbow 😉. There was a film in 2017 which was more of a docu-drama where Sachin himself faced the camera as the narrator of the movie; unlike the movie on Dhoni where Shushant Singh Rajput enacted the part and Emraan Hashmi played Azhar. “Sachin: A Billion Dreams” is directed by James Erskine and released world- wide in the month of May just as the IPL season was coming to a close. The movie shows Sachin as he is in real life. It has music by AR Rehman, and the songs are written by Irshad Kaamil. The song with this post is sung by Sukhvinder Singh and an unknown female voice towards the end, also in the English words. It begins on Sachin’s home ground – Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium where there are stands named after Vijay Merchant, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar- all of whom have played a major role in making cricket a national craze. It shows the back of a Sachin fan who was a permanent at all the venues where India has played cricket since 2008. The song with the mantra – chant “Sachin Sachin” that used to be heard everywhere whenever Sachin stepped on the field; be it for batting, bowling or plain fielding. He was a darling of the public. Wishing him all the best in his retired life and lots of good times with his family and friends.
[Ed Note: As per information from other online sources, the rap portion of this song is written and sung by Kaly.]

raat chaahe

hai ujaala tere haathon mein
ho adhoora
khwaab to phir
neend kaise aaye raaton mein
abhi aadhi kheli tu ne baazi
abhi choten dil ki taazi taazi
abhi dil ko hai karna raazi
tere hauslon ne paa leni hain manzilen

mod dena chaahe jo bhi ho
aur baaki
waqt pe hi
chhod dena tera saathi wo
le ke jaayega wo aage aage
nai subah tere liye jaage
naye kal se baandhe hai tune dhaage
tere hauslon ne paa leni hain manzilen

i was born with the game
you were born the same
i do this for my people
i don’t do this for the fame
i was born with the game
you were born the same
i do this for my people
i don’t do this for the fame
you keep chains
keep the change
just give me my reign
and leave me my lane
and just remember my name

“Baahubali” part I was a movie that I had watched in 2015 in a city in Eastern UP. I had landed up there while I was transferred from my previous place of posting in Chattisgarh and I was awaiting my next posting.
The people of that town were quite laid back and they took nearly two weeks to get my posting order issued. That gave me enough time to watch a few movies, something I rarely do. In fact, I watched “Baahubali” part I twice !
