In my last article, I have covered the details of the film ‘Jumbish’ (1986) which was produced and directed by Salahuddin Pervez who also wrote the fictional story, screenplay, dialogues and the lyrics. Surprisingly, he was not connected with film industry in any capacity before he ventured into making the film under discussion. Since Jaidev, the music director of the film was one of my favourites, I heard all the seven songs in the film which were all melodious as expected from him. The songs, especially the ghazal and nazm written by Salahuddin Parvez were poetic with unusual metaphors. With his poetic lyrics, the unusual story of the film and the symbolic dialogues he used, I became curious to know about his background. Checking on him on the internet led me to a PDF of his biography on Sahitya Akademy website following his winning the Sahitya Akademy Award in 1991. I found his biography interesting, a gist of which is given below:

Today’s song is from a very old film, His Highness-1937.
The film was made by Prakash Pictures, Bombay, who were intomaking B and C grade stunt and costume films, till they made Mythological films, starting with ” Bharat Milap”-1942 and their luck changed. This film, based on a Ramayana story became a Hit and Prakash Pictures found a Gold Mine !. They made another film on Ramayana – Ram-Rajya-1943 and this became a blockbuster, breaking many records all over India. The pair of Prem Adib as Ram and Shobhana Samarth as Seeta became All India famous and Prakash changed their production stance. They started making social and religious films which made them a successful film company.
The film His Highness-1937 was a Costume film. It had nothing new in the story except that along with the human star cast it also used animals like Dogs (Tiger and Tommy) and a Horse (Bahadur), which made some difference. Hitherto only the Wadia Movietone had used different types of animals in their stunt films. The film was directed by Balwant Bhatt. He was the elder brother of director Nanabhai Bhatt.

“Ye Vaada Raha”(1982) was a very popular movie with the teenagers of those days, but apparently the grown up section of the population did not like the movie much and so the movie received a lukewarm response at the box office. Personally I was barely aware of this movie and I did not watch it seeing that I only watched Amitabh Bachchan movies those days.
“Ye Vaada Raha”(1982) was produced by Ramesh Bahl and directed by Kapil Kapoor for Rose movies, Bombay. This “social” movie had Rishi Kapoor, Tina Munim, Poonam Dhillon, Sarika, Rakhi, Rakesh Bedi, Ifthikar, Agha, Sunder, Gulshan Bawra, Hari Shivdasani, Chandu Prakash, Madan Joshi, Shrimati Mistri, Prasad, Pappu, Geeta, Aditya, Shanta, Salma, Asha, Avinash Thakur etc in it. Shammi Kapoor had played a special role in this movie.
