We have discussed a couple of songs from “Teesri Kasam” (1966) recently. In the course of that discussion, I have learnt the story of the novel called “Maare Gaye Gulfaam” which was picturised as “Teesri Kasam”. The movie has faithfully reproduced the flavour of the novel. The movie failed to find favour with the majority of the moviegoers during its first release, but the re-releases have seen the movie doing better.

We are all very familiar with the ‘mujra’ form of dance performance. And there are umpteen songs in Hindi films that apply to this genre. The setting basically is either a family gathering for a social event, or it is the place of the dancing girl. All the famous dancers on Hindi screen have done some very wonderful ‘mujra’ songs on the screen.

“Teesri Kasam” (1966) was a movie which was adapted from Phanishwar Nath “Renu”‘s Hindi novel called “Maare Gaye Gulfaam”. I have neither seen the movie nor read the novel, but Santosh Ojha, a contributor to this blog has given a nice summary of this novel in his blog . Reading this summary, I realised what a moving tale this novel and this movie was. Now I can understand why Shailendra was so heartbroken on finding his dream project failing at the box office. The fact that Indian movie audience were not mature enough and sensitive enough to appreciate a movie like this was quite unfortunate indeed.

Talking about romantic pairing in Hindi films, Nanda – Shashi Kapoor pairing is probably the most attractive pair in the 60s. It is interesting to note their career graphs. Both of them started off in the films as child artists. Nanda’s father, Master Vinayak, passed away when she was just 8 years old. She was obliged to start working in films as a child artist, Baby Nanda, due to financial difficulties at home. On the other hand, as a child, Shashi was part of the already famous Kapoor clan, and the youngest son of Prithviraj Kapoor. And with all his family seniors in the cine business, it was only natural that followed their footsteps. He too appeared in many films as a child artist.
