Today’s song is from the Mythological film – Mohini-1957.
During the decade of the 1950s, maximum religious, Bhakti pradhan and Mythological films were made. Among them, most had roots in some or the other Puranas, Ramayan or mahabharat, but there were also films having the tag of ‘ Mythological’ film, which had absolutely no connection whatsoever, known or unknown, to any of the mythological stories. I have read all 18 Puranas, Ramayan and Mahabharat. I do not claim to know each and everything from there, but even in the film booklet no mention is made of the source of the story. Film Mohini is one such film. With 100s of Gods and 1000s of stories, it is easy to make up a story resembling any genuine story. Looks like that, like Arabian Night stories, here too adulteration has entered ! A simple trick of adding a lot of magic scenes can enable a story to become a Mythological or Arabian Night story !

After the box office success of the Tamil film, ‘Thevar Magan’ (1992), written and produced by Kamal Hasan with Sivaji Ganesan, Kamal Hasan, Revathi, Gautami and Nasser in the main roles, Kamal Hasan decided its remake in Hindi with himself in the lead role and Dilip Kumar in Sivaji Ganesan’s role. It was his intense desire to work with Dilip Kumar. However, Dilip Kumar declined to work in the film as he had almost retired from the films. So, Kamal Hasan kept the Hindi remake of the film in the backburner until he sold the film’s rights to his friend, Priyadarshan for its remake in Hindi as ‘Viraasat’ (1997).(Source: Hindustan Times, May 29, 2022).

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.
