‘Safed Jhoothh’ (1977) was produced by Ashim Kumar and was directed by Basu Chatterjee. The cast included Ashok Kumar, Vinod Mehra, Mithu Mukherjee, Deven Verma, Manik Dutt, Aroop Kumar, Vidya Sinha, Geeta Kak etc. Pradeep Kumar and Amol Palekar made their guest appearances in the film. The film is a remake of Bengali film, ‘Chhutir Phandey’ (1975) with Soumitra Chatterjee, Aparna Sen and Utpal Dutt as main actors.

This film is one of the lesser known among the films directed by Basu Chatterjee who have directed many ‘middle of the road’ films. The Ajmer born and Mathura bred Basu Chatterjee (10/01/1927 – 04/06/2020) migrated to Mumbai in 1948 and worked as a cartoonist in ‘Current’ and ‘Blitz’ for about 18 years before venturing into Hindi films as Assistant Director under Basu Bhattacharya for ‘Teesri Kasam’ (1966) and under Govind Saraiya for ‘Saraswatichandra (1968). ‘Saara Aakaash’ (1969) was his first independently directed film which got him his first Filmfare Award for the Best Screenplay. The films which brought him accolades were ‘Rajanigandha’ (1974) followed by ‘Chhoti Si Baat’ (1975), ‘Chitchor’ (1976). Thereafter, he directed many films, most of which belonged to ‘middle of the road cinema’. In all, he directed 42 films and 8 TV serials during his career of four decades.

This is a role reversal to “Abhi na jaao chhod ke, ke dil abhi bhara Nahin”. Here Hema Malini is trying to stop Dharmendra from going to his job. She is calling him ‘Raja” and asking him not to leave her alone, take leave from work, or better to leave the job if he is not getting holiday. The filmy or flimsy situation, Lata Mangeshkar’s playback, Hema Malini looking resplendent in a red jacket/suit, begging. Dharmendra on his part is just trying to get away on whatever transport he can find and enjoying all the attention. All that bhav is good for the hero anyway. Songs like “haay haay yeh majboori”, “Na ja mere hamdam”, “bataa doon kya laana” and others convey the similar emotion in different ways.

‘Barkha Bahaar’ (1973) was produced by Amar Kumar and his brother, Prahlad Kumar and was directed by Amar Kumar. The cast included Navin Nischol, Rekha, Kamran, Dulari, Murad, Hiralal, Mubarak etc. The film was based on ‘Resurrection’ (1899), the last novel written by Leo Tolstoy. Amar Kumar has directed some good films such as ‘Garam Coat’ (1955), ‘Ab Dilli Door Naheen’ (1957), ‘Rangoli’ (1962), ‘Mere Sanam’ (1965), ‘Mere Hamdam Mere Dost’ (1968), ‘Pyaasi Shaam’ (1969) etc.

I was not aware of this film until recently. The information about the film is sketchy. I came across an advertisement of the film announcing the release of the film in 1971. However, the film was certified on October 25. 1973 and was released thereafter. This indicates that the film may have gone on the floor some time in 1970, most probably after the box office success of ‘Saawan Bhaadon’ (1970) in which both Navin Nischol and Rekha made their debut.
