Today’s song is from a stunt film- Chaalbaaz-1958.

The film was produced by Balwant Bhatt and Ram Kamlani. It was directed by the veteran of such films- Nanabhai Bhatt. Music was by the melody maker- Chitragupta. 5 singers sang 7 songs, written by Anjum Jaipuri (2) and Prem Dhavan (5). The cast included Nirupa Roy, Jairaj,Nishi, K.N.Singh, Shammi, Cuckoo, David, Master Bhagwan, Moti (Horse) and Tiger (Dog) etc etc.

The title Chaalbaaz seems to be quite a favourite with filmmakers. Films with the same title were made in 1958, 69, 80, 89 and 2003. In addition there was Chaalbaaz Leader-70 and Chaalbaaz Haseena-2002 also.

‘Jumbish’ (1986) was produced and directed by a newcomer, Salahuddin Parvez who also wrote the story, screenplay, dialogues and lyrics for the film. Surprisingly, he had no connection with the film industry. He was an Urdu poet and writer having published 13 books of his poems and 3 novels. In this film, Akbar Khan and Padmini Kolhapure acted in lead roles.

I have already covered the story of the film in details in one of my earlier articles on the film, the link of which is here. The theme of the story is that since time immemorial, there has always been the tug of war between divines and devils in the world, the former wanting the peace and prosperity on an enduring basis and the latter worked to sabotage the same. This tug of war will go on in future also. But on every occasion, it is the peace-loving people who will be the ultimate winner.

#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————

“Bhalaa Aadmi-1958” was directed by Bhagwan for Unity Films, Bombay. It had Anita Guha, Chandrashekhar, Bhagwan, Kumkum, Kumar, Protima Devi, Baburao Pahalwan, Shyam Kumar, Leela Gandhi, Ulhas and others.

This obscure movie had ten songs where three lyricists contributed lyrics for this movie. This was also the first movie of Anand Bakshi as a lyrics-writer. Out of the ten songs Saba Afghani wrote three songs, Anand Bakshi wrote five songs and Ehsan Rizvi the third lyrics writer wrote two songs for this movie ‘Bhalaa Aadmi-1968’. The playback singers for this movie included Suman Kalyanpur, Bhooshan, and Sudha Malhotra. But as per information available in Geet Kosh Vol-III (1951-1960) singers’ name for only four songs are mentioned and the singers’ names for six songs are not mentioned, so there is a possibility of more singers singing for this movie. Music for this movie was composed by Nisar.

Hullo Atuldom

21st December is the birthday of an actor who made his debut in films in 1986. Though the first film he signed was ‘Tan Badan’, first film for which he started shooting was ‘Love 86’ in June of 1985. ‘Ilzaam’ (release date 28th February 1986) & ‘Love 86’ (release date 14th February 1986) released before his firstsigned ‘Tan Badan’ (release date 25th April 1986).

He was born as the youngest of 5 children and was given the pet name ‘Chi-Chi’ (meaning little finger). His father was former actor Aroon (alias Arun Kumar Ahuja) and singer-actress Nirmala Devi was his mother. He belongs to an ethnically mixed family, as, through his father, his grandfather was Punjabi while his grandmother was Sindhi, but he himself identifies more with his Punjabi side. His paternal side ancestry can be traced to Gujranwala in undivided India & his maternal side had its roots in Varanasi, U.P.

There are some people, who are in our lives, not related to us by blood, but are a very important part of our daily lives. Whom we meet every day, they come and wish us in the morning, they serve us, do a job for us to make our life easier. Yet some form an affinity, a well-wishing, non-interfering, loyal, non-judgmental, they are a friend of the family. Your children, your neighbor’s family, your acquaintances, your relatives, family members in far off and nearby places, your colleagues, your business associates, or whomever you come in regular contact with, associate that person as your so and so.

‘Aurat Pair Kee Jootee Naheen Hai’ (1985) was produced by B K Adarsh and was directed by Prithviraj Chatterjee. The cast included Marc Zuber, Deepti Naval, Gulshan Grover, Sachin, Satyen Kappu, Anjali Sen, Goga Kapoor, Jagdeep, Brahm Bhardwaj, Shivraj, Dulari, Vikas Anand etc.

The VCD of the film is available on one of the video sharing platforms but with a poor quality of video. It is obvious from the title of the film that it is a feminist film. Before watching the film, I read the synopsis of the story which gave me an impression of tackling the feminist subject in an amateurish way. But a ghazal in the film forced me to watch the film. I am happy that despite a poor quality of video, I have watched the film in one sitting and felt satisfied the way the theme was handled in a matured way without the additional doses of songs and sub-plots. The story of the film was written by B K Adarsh and probably it was his first film (out of about 15 films he produced) which tackled an important social issue. Unfortunately, the film failed badly at the box office.
