Every year, hundreds of Hindi feature films are certified by Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Just for a sample check, I found that for the years 1951-1980, on an average, 100-120 Hindi features films had been certified/released. I am sure the number of Hindi films certified/released in the subsequent decades must have increased significantly. There were many Hindi feature films which had been shot but got shelved or remained incomplete or if completed, remained unreleased. I checked on the websites of Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) and Producers Guild of India (GUILD) for the list of such films. Unfortunately, no such information is available on the website. It is one more example of the poor upkeep of film related statistics.
There are many reasons as to why films get shelved or remain incomplete and if completed, remain unreleased. But the generic reason is the way the films were made until few years back. Normally, till the end of the last century, a film was shot in driblets as the main actors would give dates for shooting for days normally ranging between 5-10 days at a time and the actors would get paid according to the progress of the film. Those days, the popular star-actors would sign the films in good numbers because of the lure of signing amount. This would result the clash of dates of the main actors thus delaying the shooting and increasing the film’s production cost. The net result of these systems was that a film could take an average 18-36 months. The longer the time to complete a film, the bigger will be the risk associated with the completion of the film apart from other risk associated with filmmaking.
I have gone through the articles on our Blog which has so far covered around 80 unreleased (UR) films including shelved and incomplete films. I have also gone through some on-line articles covering a few specific films of such categories. Based on the information from these articles wherever the reasons for such films were spelt out, I have listed below 5 broad categories of reasons which led to films remaining incomplete or shelved and completed but remained unreleased.
1. Financial constraint : When the films take longer time than expected to complete or the allocated budget for the film is exceeded during the making of the films, the producers/financiers have to provide additional funds to complete the films. If they failed to arrange the additional finance, the films remain incomplete and finally shelved. One of the shelved films mentioned under this reason is Ramesh Sippy’s mid-1980s multi-starer, ‘Zameen’ with Vinod Khanna, Rajnikanth, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi. The film exceeded the budget during the making of the film and it was reported that financiers/distributors refused to provide further finance for the film. Another film was J P Dutta’s ‘Sarhad’ which was shelved in 1976 due to budget constraint when nearly 50% of the film’s shooting was completed.
2. Creative differences and Compatibility Issues: Creative differences and compatibility issues can arise between the producer and director, between director and main actors and among the main actors. If they are not sorted out, one of them would leave the film which can result in the suspension of the film’s shooting. If the alternative arrangements are not made in time, the film remains incomplete or shelved. An interesting case under this reason was K Asif’s film, ‘Jaanwar’ with Dilip Kumar pairing with Suraiya for the first time. This film started its shooting sometime in early 1950s. It was reported that Suraiya did not like the handling of a bold scene by Dilip Kumar with her and she felt that film’s director was hand in gloves with him because of many retakes of the bold scenes between Dilip Kumar and Suraiya. She felt humiliated and left the shooting in a huff never to return. The film was shelved. ‘Shiqwaa’ (1950s) with Dilip Kumar and Nutan in the lead role was on near completion when the film was stalled due to reported differences between film’s director, Ramesh Saigal and the producer, Makhan Lal Jain of Filmkar Productions. Dilip Kumar was also upset with the producer as he was planning to start a film with more or less the similar story of K Asif’s ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ (1960) which was under production.
3. Lack of film’s qualitative progress: After the filming of few scenes, if the director, especially when he is also the producer, feels unhappy about the way the film is shaping up due to weak script or underperformances of the lead actors, two things can happen during this stage. Either the film is shelved or it is reshot with changes in script or the lead actor/s as the case may be. In the second option, there is a danger of film’s budget getting exceeded. In the absence of alternative funding arrangements, the film may remain incomplete for indefinite period. Guru Dutt’s ‘Gauri’ with Geeta Dutt in the title role in 1957 and ‘Raaz’ with Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman in 1959 were shelved after shooting few scenes when he realised that the films were not shaping well as per his liking.
4. Unforeseen Reasons: Apart from financial and creative risks, the filmmaker also faces some unforeseen problems in completing the film. During the partition in 1947, many Hindi films under productions, both at Mumbai and Lahore were affected due to sudden migration of the main actors and core technicians. Some films remained incomplete while a few of the affected films were remade with new actors. The death of the main actors, producer and director may result in inordinate delay in completng the film. The most talked about film under this reason was K Asif’s ‘Love and God’. After the success of ‘Mughal-E-Azam’ (1960), K Asif started filming ‘Love And God’ with Guru Dutt in the lead role some time in 1962. The film was near its completion when Guru Dutt passed away in October 1964. K Asif started shooting afresh with Sanjeev Kumar. K Asif passed away in 1971 leaving the film abandoned. Finally, K Asif’s wife with the financial help from producer, K C Bokadia decided to revive the film. But before the shooting started, Sanjeev Kumar passed away in 1985. The film was released in incomplete form in 1986. ‘Chaalaak’ was started around 1961 with Raj Kapoor and Madhubala in the lead roles. The film was nearly 50% complete when Madhubala could not report for shooting due to her health issues. The film was delayed. The film got shelved after Madhubala passed away in 1969.
There are some other unforeseen reasons for films to get stalled. Muzaffar Ali’s ‘Zooni’, shooting of which had started in 1988, remained incomplete due to insurgency in Kashmir valley. Tinu Anand’s ‘Shinaakht’ which started shooting in 1988 with Amitabh Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit in the lead roles, was shelved when the director found that the story of the film was almost similar to Manmohan Desai’s ‘Ganga Jamuna Saraswati’ (1988).
5. Films completed but remain unreleased: The reasons for completed films remaining unreleased range from CBFC objections, creative differences between the producer and director, financial/legal disputes, and distributors not showing intererst in releasing the films on commercial consideration. Gulzar’s ‘Libaas’ was completed in 1988. The film’s producer, Vikas Mohan wanted the director, Gulzar to change the film’s climax which he refused. Producer, therefore, decided not to release the film. It was, however, shown in the International Film Festivals. Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Paanch’ (2001) failed to get CBFC certification because of the depiction of excessive violence and use of fowl language. After some cuts, CBFC cleared the film, but it remained unreleased. Muzaffar Ali’s ‘Anjuman’ (1986) remained unreleased as he did not get any film distributor to release the film.
There was a crucial case of the film, ‘Aag Kaa Daryia’ (1991 UR) which was completed after a long delay. The film’s shooting started in 1984 with Dilip Kumar, Rekha, Padmini Kolhapure, Rajiv Kapoor and Amrish Puri. The film was progressing very well under the direction of S V Rajendra Singh Babu when the producer, Venkataraman passed away. It took time to arrange fresh finance for the film during which Rajendra Krishan, the film’s screenplay-dialogue-song writer passed away. The film was completed and got censor certificate in 1991. The film’s trailer was also released. However, at the last moment, one of the financiers/distributors raised the financial disputes which led to the film remaining unreleased. (Source: ‘The Scroll’, 11/12/2022).
In the recent years, due to corporatisation of the film production and distribution, some professionalism has come among the makers and distributors in Hindi film industry. Artists and crew members have become committed to a film with ‘start to finish’ schedules of shooting. With high budget being the order of the day, films are generally produced by a consortium of film production companies to minimise the financial risk. A film is normally completed in less than a year with a planned release date in advance in most of the films under production. With the corporate approach to making films, the number of shelved or incomplete films seems to have been reduced.
‘Behroopiya’ (UR) was one of the shelved films of the early 1960s. Some details of the film were mentioned in the credit titles of ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983) in which one song from ‘Behroopiya’ was used as a part of the story. As per the details, ‘Behroopiya’ was produced by Navinchandra Shah under the banner of Chandra Movie and was directed by Nandlal Jaswantlal. The film had Raj Kapoor and Vyjayantimala in the lead roles. Lyrics for the song was written by Shailendra and and the music director was Shankar-Jaikishan. The film was Chandulal Shah presentation and the year of production was stated to be 1964.
I have a doubt about the 1964 as the year of production of ‘Behroopiya’. Nandalal Jaswantlal passed away sometime in 1961 and Chandulal Shah took over as a director to complete the film, ‘Akeli Mat Jaiyo’ (1963). This suggests that ‘Behroopiya’ was shot sometime in 1960-61. Most probably, the film was left incomplete after the death of its director, Nandlal Jaswantlal and later shelved in the background of the box office failure of ‘Akeli Mat Jaiyo’ (1963). Well, ‘Behroopiya’ may have inspired Raj Kapoor to produce and direct ‘Mera Naam Joker’ (1971).
I am presenting the only song, ‘hans kar hasaa masti mein gaa’ from the shelved film, ‘Behroopiya’ (1961)UR) which was shot for the film. The song was rendered by Manna Dey on the words of Shailendra which was set to music by Shankar-Jaikishan. At 2:33 of the video clip, dancer, Edwina is seen with Raj Kapoor. The song was included as a part of ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983) and Universal Music released the audio clip of the song in 2013.

Today’s song is from an obscure film called ‘Room No. 17’ from 1961.
This film is categorized as a ‘social’ film in the HFGK. I wonder on what basis it can be called a ‘social’ film. What I understand by ‘social’ category is when the film revolves around a family problem or a social custom. If not that, then at least the film should show a relationship crisis or an age old social evil or even a simple family dispute. But this film is nothing like this. The film story has 4 murders, 2 accidents, kidnapping, police encounter and multiple attacks by criminals. Embedded in all this there is a love story and a murder mystery. In my opinion, the film should have been classified either as a stunt/action film or a crime/mystery film.
Anyway, it is always a mystery how the film makers decide the titles of their films. When I rummaged through the The Film Title Index (1931-2012) by Hamraaz ji, I found some interesting titles. There are 3 films on Room Numbers. ‘Room No. 9’ (1946), ‘Room No. 17’ (1961) and ‘Room No. 203’ (1980).
Then there are 2 films on House – ‘House No. 44’ (1955) and ‘House No. 13’ (1990).
‘Mahal’ was made 4 times – in 1949, 1969, 1990 and 2001.
I found 2 funny titles. ‘? A Question Mark’ (2012) and ’10 ml Love’ (2011).
There are films titled ‘Das Baje’ [aka ’10 O’clock’] (1942), ’11 O’clock’ (1948) and ’12 O’clock’ (1958).
Films using a calendar date are ’26th January’ (1956), ’23rd March’ (2002), ’13th May’ (2010), ’25th July’ (1951), ’26th July’ (2007), ’15th August’ (1993), ‘2nd October’ (2003), ‘6th December’ (2009) and ’16th December’ (2002).
Even days were counted. ’30 Days’ (2004), ’40 Days’ (1959), ‘100 Days’ (1991) and ‘300 Days And After’ (1938).
Year Wise films were ‘1857’ (1946), ‘1920’ (2012), ‘1942’ (1993), ‘1947’ (1999) and ‘2001’ (1998).
And then we have the film titled ‘A Wednesday’ (2008).
I was utterly shocked when I found that there was a film titled ‘B-13 Fear Has A New Address’ (2009). The reason for my shock was that ‘B-13’ happens to be my own flat number in our Housing Society in Mumbai ! Nothing is scary about my flat except that I live there !!! (wonder how they knew !)
See what is the story of this ‘social film’ ‘Room No. 17’ (1961). . .
Chandan, who has been called by his father General Shamsheer, is coming to the city by car. On the way he meets Roopa, who suggests to him a way side hotel where she and her brother Mangal are staying. He stays there. After dinner, when Chandan is watching a card game, he observes that the hotel staff is cheating Mangal. Chandan intervenes. There is a fight. Thereafter Mangal, Roopa and Chandan shift to another hotel.
Next day, on resuming journey Chandan is attacked by the goons of the hotel owner. He gets injured. Roopa and Mangal take him to their house. On reaching the city the next day, he comes to know that his father died in an accident in the hotel where he was staying. Chandan suspects a murder. He finds one waiter who knows something but he is murdered. One more witness is also killed.
The hotel owner and his moll trap and attack Chandan. Mangal and his girl friend Bansari save him. They contact the police and a plan is made. Accordingly, Chandan and Roopa stay in that hotel in disguise as a prince and his secretary. They find his father’s jewellery box with the owner. They call the police. After a gunfight, the owner is arrested and jailed. All is well now with Chandan-Roopa and Mangal-Bansari getting united. The end !
The cast of the film was Dalpat, Chitra, Radhika (Kumkum’s sister), Amar, Majnu, Tuntun, Sundar ,Gopi, Shetty and others. Let us know more about actor Amar, who was a member of the ‘Same Name Confusion’ group with actor Amarnath (Bharadwaj) and many others holding the names of Amar, Amarnath etc.
Amar – an occasional singer. The real name of Amar was Nasir. He was from Punjab. He was born in 1920. After doing bit roles in some films, he got a major break in film ‘Sanyasi’ (1945), in which he sang 5 duets and 1 solo. His solo song “Tooti Hui Kashti Ka Bane Kaun Sahaara” became very popular.
In 1946, he was the Hero of film ‘Bindiya’, where Ragini (who later migrated to Pakistan) was his Heroine. MD was Kamal Dasgupta, who gave him 3 songs.
Then he was hero opposite to Suraiya in ‘Natak’ (1947). He sang 1 duet with her and 2 solos. Later he did films like ‘Lalaji’ (1942), ‘Vijay’ (1942), ‘Shukriya’ (1944), ‘Keemat’ (1946), ‘Maang’ (1950) etc. After 1950 he was doing character roles till 1970. He acted in 89 films and sang 18 songs in 8 films. He died in 1980.
There is one more name, Shetty (the Taklu – टकलू ), about whom hardly anyone writes. Here is his information. It is taken from an article in The National Herald Dt. 23-1-2018.
When he appeared on screen, people shuddered. He had a strong body, cold eyes and a serious expression on his face. This is the image that runs through the mind when we remember Shetty. He was popular as ‘Ganja Shetty’ (bald Shetty). A fight scene sans Shetty was not complete in those days of 1970’s. But Shetty worked far more behind the screen than he ever did on screen. He was the busiest and most successful fight and stunt director of his time. He contributed in some way or the other to 700 films in 25 years which is a record in itself. During this time, Shetty fractured his bones more than 40 times during the filming of stunt scenes of various films.
Born in Mangalore near Mysore, Muddu Babu Shetty did not like studies at all. But the main concern of his father, who was a poor farmer, was that Shetty should earn some money so that the family could get some financial relief. One day, his father sent the nine year old Shetty to Mumbai with an uncle. He was confident that Muddu would find some work in the city. It was 1947. After a while, Muddu got a job washing utensils in a Punjabi Dhaba situated on Lamington Road.
At the age of 16, Muddu Babu got the job of a waiter in the canteen of Tata Oil Mill in Sewri. His salary was 12 rupees a month. In the evenings, the workers of Tata Oil Mill used to do boxing. Muddu Babu also started to learn boxing. The manager of the canteen used to admire Muddu’s behaviour and agility in the ring. He encouraged Muddu to box. After some time, Muddu Babu won the boxing championship of Tata Oil Mill. The very next year, he won the Mumbai boxing championship as well. Now, his salary was ₹75 a month. His father was happy and relieved to know that Muddu was making progress in his life.
One day, actor and stuntman Baburao Pahelwan and actor, director and producer Bhagwan came to see the boxing championship match. Babu Rao was so impressed with Muddu’s performance that he offered him work in films. The next day, Muddu reached Jagriti Studios where a fight scene between Muddu Babu and Babu Rao Pahelwan was shot. For this job, Muddu received ₹200. He could not believe his fortune. And it was at that time that Muddu decided to work for films. He made Azim Bhai his teacher who was a great stunt director of that time. He learnt horse riding and fencing under Azim Bhai’s guidance. He started using the name Shetty for himself. During this time, he also continued taking part in boxing matches and remained Mumbai’s champion for eight long years.
In the 1950’s, he worked as a dummy for many heroes in fight scenes. In 1955, he got the opportunity to work as stunt director for the film ‘Munimji’. In the same year, he appeared on screen in ‘Tatar Ka Chor’. ‘Tumsa Nahi Dekha’ (1957), ‘Detective’ (1958), Taxi Stand (1959) and ‘Qaidi Number 911’ (1959) are some of the films in which Shetty acted and was seen on screen. At that time, Shetty’s teacher Azim Bhai, Master Ghani, Baburao Pahelwan and Master Sando were the leading stunt directors. But young Shetty was also making a strong impression on the filmmakers as a stuntman and director. His popularity was such that a film ‘Tum Salamat Raho’ with him as the protagonist was launched. His heroine in the film was Persis Khambatta. But filming stopped midway due to some problems.
After 1960, Shetty was once again flooded with film offers. They came from the Kannada film industry as well. For the films ‘An Evening in Paris’ and ‘Night in London’, Shetty shaved his head. This look of his was so much liked by the audience that he had to appear on screen with shaved head only and the audience started calling him ‘Ganja Shetty’. His only flaw was his faulty Hindi accent. It was this reason why he could not get the role of a main villain in Hindi films. But he continued working for a long time in hit films like Lalkaar, Kalicharan, Shalimaar, Don, Fakeera, Shankar Dada etc. There was a time when he worked in 50 to 60 films simultaneously.
Around the late 70s, something happened that sealed the fate of Shetty and his two families. Shetty was shooting for a film called Bombay 405 Miles (1980), starring Vinod Khanna and Shatrughan Sinha and directed by Brij Sadanah (Kamal Sadanah’s father). In one of the action scenes, a boy named Mansoor was playing the stunt double for Shatru. A petrol bomb was supposed to explode near him. Unlike today, safety measures were rudimentary and injuries were commonplace. But this got particularly messy. The bomb was flung at Mansoor but before he could jump away, the bomb hit his body and went off. Mansoor died on the spot.
Shetty was pretty close to his coterie of stuntmen and fighters, they were like his sons. He felt responsible and went into mourning. Alcoholism took over and he spent most of his days at the bottom of bottles.
In his last days, the various injuries which he suffered during the fight scenes started troubling him. He found himself unable to perform adventurous and daring fight scenes. During his last days, his second wife, Vinodini, who was a Kathak dancer, had to run the household by taking dance classes. Muddu Babu Shetty, who was once a formidable and courageous villain, became helpless and vulnerable and bid farewell to the world on January 23, 1982. Muddu Babu Shetty aka M.B. Shetty aka Fight Master Shetty passed away, almost penniless.
He had two sons and two daughters by his first wife Vinodini. One of them, Hriday Shetty grew up to be a director, debuting with the Sanjay Dutt-starrer Plan. He also had a son with his other wife Ratna. This son became a massively successful film director, even more successful and popular than his father. Rohit Shetty. And like his father, he works with stuntmen and ensures they are employed (safely) in all his films.
Today’s song is sung by Geeta Dutt, Balbir and chorus.

haa..aan
hameen ne rang bhara husn ke fasaane mein
hamaare dum se tum mashhoor ho zamaane mein
jo hum na hotey ishq aaj dar-b-dar hota
na iska koi thikaana na koi ghar hota
fasaane apni shaan ke sunaane aa rahe hain wo
to ban ke teesmaarkhan banaane aa rahe hain wo
nazar nazar se bijliyaan giraate aa rahe hain wo
to dil ko thaam lo ke muskuraate aa rahe hain wo
nazar nazar se bijliyaan
na hota husn to duniya mein rang na hota
haa..aan
na hota ishq to jeene ka dhang na hota
jo aankh aankh hai to nor hamen kehte hain
jo naaz aap hain guroor hamen kehte hain
hazaar baar kaha chhed hum se na kijey
haa..aan
janaab thookiye gussa nazar mila lijey
na baaz aaiyega aap apni baaton se
huzoor taali to bajti hai donon
haathon se
na hum se door reh saken karee baa rahe hain wo
to dil ko thaam lo ke muskuraate aa rahe hain wo
nazar nazar se bijliyaan giraate aa rahe hain wo
to dil ko thaam lo ke muskuraate aa rahe hain wo
nazar nazar se bijliyaan
na hum se door reh saken karee baa rahe hain wo
to dil ko thaam lo ke muskuraate aa rahe hain wo
nazar nazar se bijliyaan giraate aa rahe hain wo
to dil ko thaam lo ke muskuraate aa rahe hain wo
nazar nazar se bijliyaan

We observe that four movies (out of eight) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (on 21 april 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with four unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge (BTYC) today.
“Baghdad”(1961) is one of BTYC eligible movies today (21 april 2023).
“Baghdad”(1961) was directed by T R Sundaram for Southern Movies, Madras. The movie had M.G.Ramachandran,Vyjayantimala,Helen,Gopi Krishna, T.S.Balaiaha, M.N.Nambiar, Sandhya, V.P.S.Mani, M.N.Rajam, T.R.Ramchandran,N.S.Natarajan etc in it.
hThe movie, apparently a dubbed movie, had eight songs in it. One song has been covered in the past and that was ten years ago.
Today, exactly ten years later, here is the second song from “Baghdad”(1961) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Rafi. Pt Indra Chandra is the lyricist. Music is composed by Jamal Sen.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.

We observe that two movies (out of eight) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago (on 12 April 2023) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with six unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (12 April 2023).
“Dekhi Teri Bombay”(1961) is one of the BTYC eligible movies today.
“Dekhi Teri Bombay”(1961) was produced by Kailash Bhandari for Sheetal Movies, Bombay. The movie had Purnima, Daljit, Shammi, Shaikh, Radhika, Jagdish Kamal,
Prakash Kaur, Ramlal, Tilak Raj, Kothana, Haider, Raju etc. The movie also introduced Anand,Master Shashi and Aruna Kumari.
“Dekhi Teri Bombay”(1961) had seven songs in it. Four songs have been covered in the blog so far.
Here is the fifth song from the movie to appear in the blog. HFGK is silent about the singers of this song. Prakashchandra, who sent the lyrics of this song guesses that S Balbir and Sudha Malhotra are the singers. I agree with his identification.
Aziz Kashmiri is the lyricist. Music is composed by Vinod.
The song is picturised on Shammi and Shaikh.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
Music lovers on the blog are well aware that there have been instances when movies rated as a ‘B’ grade movie have produced some of the well-known songs in the history of HFM and they have provided music that is lilting and catchy to the ears of the listeners.
I came across one such song during my daily browsing, which I am sharing today.
This song is from the movie ‘Elephant Queen-1961’. It is a two part song.
I do not remember to have read earlier about this movie or associate any songs that I may have listened earlier with this movie’s name.
It is only through this blog and HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970) that I became aware of this movie.
“Elephant Queen” (‘Haathhi Ki Raani’ in Hindi) was directed by Rajendra for ‘Rajani Chitra, Bombay’.
It had Helen, Azad, Sundar, Shery, Shakila Banu Bhopali, Arvind Pandya, Nimmi, Tun Tun, Saroj, Jilani, Malik, Arvind Kumar, Harun and others.
This movie has six songs including one two-part song.
HFGK doesn’t mention the lyricist’s name for this movie in general. However, in the ‘addenda’ it mentions the ‘lyricist’s name for today’s ‘two-part’ song as Prem Dhawan.
One song from this movie has earlier been posted on the blog on 19.12.2013. (Lyricist for this song is also mentioned as Prem Dhawan).
Music for this movie has been composed by Suresh-Talwar.
The name of the singers for this movie includes Asha Bhonsle, Mahendra Kapoor and Sudha Malhotra.
Let us now listen to the second song from ‘Elephant Queen-1961’. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and chorus.
Only audio of this song is available.
I hope readers will enjoy this song. I hope that I have deciphered the words sung by the chorus 🙂 in both parts of the song 🙂 ).
Audio Part I
audio Part II

Today’s song is from the film Aplam Chaplam-1961.
This film was directed by Roop K. Shorey, under the banner of Mukul Pictures, Bombay.
Whenever the name of Roop Shorey comes across, I always remember the title of an Asrani film “Hum nahi Sudhrenge”-1980. It’s the title of the film , not its story, which applied 100 % to Roop Shorey- the director of today’s film. He lived perhaps, like a patient of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).
In his career he directed 18 Talkie films + 1 Silent film. From 1935 to 1946 he made 6 films on different stories, but when his film Ek Thi Ladki-01949 became a huge Hit, his mind had only that story. He always felt that any film he made using the same story (with variations) would be successful. Unfortunately his audience did not think the same way and his films which used to be on the same story and the same comedy pair of Johar and Majnu (real name Harold Lewis) failed miserably. His wife Meena Shorey migrated to Pakistan leaving him in India and his life was a story of loneliness,misery and failure. Ironically, many years later 2 directors, Manmohan Desai and Nasir Hussain came up with just one story each and made several successful films on the same story, like nobody’s business !
Because of Roop K.Shorey, even I.S.Johar and Majnu started thinking that they are the best comedy pair like Laurel and Hardy ! They acted together in many films. In film Ek thi ladki-49, their names were Mohan-Sohan, in film Hum sab chor hain-56 their names were Dukhiram-Sukhiram and in film Aplam-Chaplam-61 their names were Aplam and Chaplam. Luckily Johar realized the reality and he paired with Mehmood in later films.
Roop K Shorey was known in industry circles as the wizard of comedy. Born on 28-1-1914 in Quetta, Balochistan, with a silver spoon in his mouth, and raised by an English governess, Roop K Shorey acquired an early interest in Western music and English literature. As a child, he was a prolific writer and composer, and followed in the footsteps of his father Roshanlal Shorey in making his first full-length comedy “Lucky Lovers” at the age of 17.
Roop’s next venture was Majnu (1935) — a musical comedy satirising the old story of Laila Majnu, produced, directed and shot in Lahore with Ghulam Haider as music director. Playing the lead was Roop’s childhood friend Harold Lewis, who has since been known by his screen name Majnu. With daring motorbike stunts and special effects, audiences were thrilled at the sight of Majnu trapped on the railway tracks by the villain. The film confirmed his success as a film-maker, and audiences leaving the first show lifted him on their shoulders and danced joyously.
Roop’s next film, Tarzan ki Beti (1938) was hailed as the best jungle picture ever produced in India at the time. Filmed in the snowy Himalayas, the film topped its predecessor in its action sequences and placedPunjab on the entertainment map of India and the world. Majnu made a marked return in Nishani (1942), a musical situational comedy with Majnu in a double role. With music scored by Pandit Amaranth, and Ragini as the heroine, Roop and his father personally trained the technical staff and musicians, who worked morning to night on a fixed salary.
With a solid reputation in Hindi and Punjabi cinema already established, Roop began to set new trends in comedy films with Ek Thi Ladki (1949, starring Motilal, Meena Shorey, Kuldeep Kaur, Majnu and introducing I S Johar. One of Roop’s biggest hits as a producer, it launched Meena Shorey’s acting career, known by her screen name as Lara Lappa girl, and I S Johar’s popularity as a comedian. With Partition, Roop and his family lost their film empire in Lahore, but they shifted to Bombay and tenaciously continued as before. In the meantime,Roop had married Meena. In the years following independence, he produced Dr Chaman (Punjabi), starring Meena Shorey, Karan Dewan, Om Prakash and Kuldeep Kaur, Dholak (1951), with Meena Shorey and Ajit in the lead-role, and Ek Do Teen (1953) starring the by-now-familiar Motilal-Meena team.
Roop specialised in the pure situational comedy in which the characters were ready to laugh at themselves rather than take pleasure at laughing at others. R K Karanjia, writing for Blitz in 1953, called Roop `The King of Comedy’, and litterateur Mulk Raj Anand paid him an eloquent tribute.
Roop could never duplicate the success of Ek thi Ladki, but he was obsessed with the story and went on trying that same formula in many of his films, without much success. He considered I S Johar and Majnu as his Lucky Mascot and repeated them in the same role in many films. Meena had migrated to Pakistan despite his protests. He too had gone with her, but returned alone. Meena kept coming to India to work in films here. She used to even stay with Roop Shorey. Then she went back to Pakistan never to come back. She died in absolute poverty and neglect in Pakistan.
Starting with Majnu in 1935 Roop directed a total of 18 films. His last directed film was Ek thi Reeta-71. In Pakistan,he had directed the film ‘Miss 56’, in which his then wife Meena Shorey was the Heroine. The film was a copy of ‘Mr. and Mrs 55’ made by Guru Dutt,in India.
Roop soon relinquished his directorial responsibilities, but continued to produce full-length comedies throughout the sixties, including Aplam Chaplam (1961), Main Shadi Karne Chala (1962), Akalmand (1966). In 1971, he produced Ek Thi Rita, a smash hit based on the English play A Girl Called Rita, which launched new talents Vinod Mehra, Yog Raj, Kumar, Madhvi and Pompi.
Despite the closing of Shorey Studios in Lahore, Roop’s popularity in Punjabi cinema continued throughout the Partition. Among the Punjabi pictures directed by Roop were Dulla Bhatti, Koel and Mangti. Mangti became very popular for its situational music scored by Govindram, its witty dialogues and healthy humor. This film broke all records of previous Hindi and Punjabi films, running for over 75 weeks in one cinema hall at Lahore. It gained a profit of over 15 lakh, an enormous sum in the forties. Roop Shorey, who passed away at the age of 56, on 3-6-1973, will always be remembered for his serious approach to a genre known for its lightheartedness.

APLAM CHAPLAM-1961 was yet another attempt by Roop K Shorey to relive the magic of Ek thi Ladki-1949. Throughout his life he was obsessed with this one theme only. Additionally he would invariably take I.S.Johar and Majnu, whom he considered as his mascots. Johar considered this pair as “Bob Hope and Bing Crosby ” of India.
In this film again the story was written by Johar on the same lines with minor changes.
Aplam(Johar) and Chaplam(Majnu) are small-time crooks. One day they bring a beautiful girl Lajwanti(Kum kum) from an orphanage with a promise to make her a big film star. They set up a Theatre and arrange Lajo’s dances. They make a lot of money.
Ramesh(Ravinder Kapoor), a young man from a town, comes to the city to invest some money. This jodi catches him and invests (swallow) his money in the theatre. Lajo and Ramesh fall in love. Actually Lajo is an orphan with her aunt in a village, who sends her to an orphanage to save her from her own husband Biharilal(Tiwari). When Biharilal learns from the aunt where Lajo is, he comes to the city to get her, as she is an heiress to a great fortune. He contacts Aplam Chaplam to get to Lajo. Meanwhile Ramesh and Lajo are separated due to a misunderstanding.
When the crooks realise that Biharilal wants to kill Lajo, they decide to save her and in the process also repent and reform. In the end Lajo is saved, Biharilal goes to jail and Lajo and Ramesh get reunited and Aplam-Chaplam become Lajo’s Estate Managers.
The cast of the film was I.S.Johar, Majnu, Kumkum, Ravindra kapoor, Badriprasad, Tun Tun, mrudula, kathana and others. In this list you can see the name of an actress, Mrudula. Not many readers will remember who she was. For your information , Mrudula was the FIRST heroine of Dilip Kumar in his Debut film ” Jwar Bhata”-1944, We all know what height Dilip Kumar reached in Hindi films, but Mrudula was a victim of her contract with Bombay Talkies. Here is her story…….
Mrudula ( real name Chandrakanta) was born on 2-11-1924 at Almora, but was educated in Delhi. When she was in college doing her graduation, Amiya Chakravarty of Bombay Talkies came to Delhi on a Talent Hunt. He contacted her and gave her an offer. She signed a 5 year contract with Bombay Talkies and Devika Rani became her Mentor, teaching her everything. She was paid 2500 rupees salary with a furnished house. Her first film was “Jwar Bhata”-44, opposite another Debutant Dilip Kumar (Yousuf Khan). After Himanshu Rai’s death, Bombay Talkies was already in disarray. Many people had left the company due to differences with Devika Rai. A group of them formed Filmistan.
She got married to her lover Mr. G C Andley. However the marriage was unsuccessful and she went back to Delhi. She spent a miserable life selling whatever she had to survive. She got divorce and came back to Bombay to work in films, in 1954. She worked in 53 films in all. Her last released film was Saboot-80, though she had married again and retired some time before that.
Mrudula was also a victim of her contract with Bombay Talkies. It destroyed her career as a Heroine forever. Devika Rani was her Mentor in Bombay Talkies. However, after Himanshu Rai’s death, no one was listening to her in the company due to groupism. Disgusted, Devika rani left Bombay Talkies,having sold all the shares. Mridula got stuck in the company without work, due to her 5 year contract. It was Vijay Bhatt of Prakash Pictures who somehow convinced Bombay Talkies to loan her to him and she got roles in 2 of their films. In the film ‘Bhakta Dhruva”-47, she played mother to 16 year old Shashi kapoor (sr) when she herself was about 23 year old only ! But she had no choice. The film and her role became famous, but she lost her chances of becoming Heroine in any film thereafter.
Till 30-9-2016 she was living in worli, Mumbai all alone. Her only daughter stayed nearby and looked after her. There is no news about her anymore.
All the 7 songs of this film were written by Prem Dhavan and the music was by the Melody King- Chitragupt. Today’s lovely song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar.

Lyrics
aa haa
aa haa
o ho o o o o
hum dar pe tere jab aa hi gaye
thhukraa naa hamen dilwaale
hum dar pe tere jab aa hi gaye
thhukraa naa hamen dilwaale
mehfil mein teri ik ham bhi sahi
ho khair teri matwaale
hum dar pe tere ae ae
dil humse miley na miley
nazren to milaa le sanam
kab tak ye teri berukhee
itna to karo na sitam
dil humse miley na miley
nazren to milaa le sanam
kab tak ye teri berukhee
itna to karo na sitam
ab tu hi bataa hum jaayen kahaan
jab jaan hai tere hawaale
hum dar pe tere jab aa hi gaye
thhukraa naa hamen dilwaale
hum dar pe tere ae ae
dil tujh pe luta hi chuke
par tujhko khabar hi nahin
hum tadpe hain tere liye
per koi asar hi nahin
jab mil hi gayi tujhse ye nazar
hai kaun jo dil ko sambhaale
hum dar pe tere jab aa hi gaye
thhukraa naa hamen dilwaale
hum dar pe tere ae ae
tujhse hi kiya hai gilaa
jab dil se raha na gaya
per humne jo chaaha wahi
humse hi kaha na gaya
tujhse hi kiya hai gilaa
jab dil se raha na gaya
per humne jo chaaha wahi
humse hi kaha na gaya
kuchh keh na sake
chup reh na sake
andaaz tere hain niraale
hum dar pe tere jab aa hi gaye
thhukraa naa hamen dilwaale
hum dar pe tere ae ae
