Hullo Atuldom

“Dosti Dushmani” (release date 31st October 1986) was directed and produced by T. Rama Rao. It had the team of Anand Bakshi- Laxmikant- Pyarelal giving us five songs that had Mohammad Aziz, Suresh Wadkar, Shailendra Singh, Kavita Krishnamurthy, S. Janaki & S.P. Balasubramaniam as playback singers.

Jeetendra, Rishi Kapoor & Rajnikanth played fast-friends (soulmates) with Pran & Sowcar Janaki, who are the biological parents of Jeetendra (in the film), being the anchors in the life of the friends. Bhanupriya, Kimi Katkar & Poonam Ddhillon were the ladies in the lives of the heroes. Amrish Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Kadar Khan, Asrani, Shafi Inamdaar & Gurbachan form the supporting cast.

This film was a remake of the Telugu film “Mugguru Mithrulu” (1985). The Telugu film was also remade in Kannada as “Brahma Vishnu Maheshwara” (1988).

I have seen the film, in parts, whenever it shows on some satellite television channel. I have seen that Jeetendra is forced into a fake marriage with Bhanupriya to shield Poonam Dhillon, who is Rajnikanth’s wife, from defamation or some such thing. In this fake marriage, Rishi Kapoor, Pran & Sowcar Janaki are the co-conspirators. Then there is an angle of Kimi Katkar, who has an axe to grind against Amrish Puri, falling in love with Rishi Kapoor. Plus, we come to know that Bhanupriya & Rajnikanth are siblings & Amrish Puri is their father who had abandoned the family at the start of the film. Additionally, Rajnikanth had got separated from his family & was fostered by Pran. What an uncomplicated masala film!!!!

This film is making it’s debut on the occasion of the 75th birthday of actor Rajnikanth who has a cult, God-like status among his fans particularly in South India. He has acted in films of all four South Indian languages though the number of Malayalam films is only one or two. His name appears in the credits of a Bengali film too, as ‘Guest Appearance’. He has acted in around 25/26 Hindi films. He has also produced & wrote screenplay for a few films (learnt this today)

Rajinikanth was born as Shivaji Rao Gaikwad on 12 December 1950, in a Marathi family, in Bangalore, Mysore State (present day Karnataka). His mother was a homemaker and his father, Ramoji Rao Gaekwad, was a police constable. He was the youngest of four siblings; he has two older brothers & a sister.

A fact about his early life, which is not well – known (or I should say I learnt today) is that his brother enrolled him at the Ramakrishna Math. Here, he was taught Vedas, tradition & history and also began acting in plays at the Math. His aspiration towards theatre grew at the Mathh and was once given an opportunity to enact the role of Ekalavya’s friend from the Hindu epic Mahabharata. His performance in the play received praise from the Kannada poet D. R. Bendre.

Upon completion of his school education, Rajinikanth took up several jobs including that of a coolie, before getting a job in the Bangalore Transport Service as a bus conductor. He continued to take part in plays after the Kannada playwright Topi Muniappa offered him a chance to act in one of his mythological plays. He decided to take up an acting course in the newly formed Madras Film Institute after coming across an advertisement. During his stay at the institute, he was noticed by the Tamil film director K. Balachander. Balachander provided Rajinikanth with his stage name to avoid confusion with fellow actor Sivaji Ganesan. The director advised Rajnikanth to learn to speak Tamil, a recommendation that he quickly followed. Although he can read the language, he cannot write in it. (Me too, I can read the language with some difficulty but not write it. I think I am qualified to be Rajni Saar’s fan. 🙂 )

Rajinikanth played supporting and “villainous” roles in most of the films released during the initial years of his career with lead roles which were few & far-between. His first film as one of the main leads, in Tamil came in 1978 in a remake of ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’. He first played a positive character in Telugu in 1977. I am unable to find out which was his first film as a positive lead in Kannada. His Hindi debut came in 1983 with ‘Andhaa kanoon’.
Rajnikanth is married to Latha Rangachari & has two daughters – Aishwarya & Soundarya- both of whom are connected with the film industry. Aishwarya Rajnikanth is a film director & playback singer while Soundarya is a film producer/ director along with being a graphic designer. Soundarya was the first woman director to direct Rajnikanth in ‘Kochadaiiyaan’ (2014).

The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Bhushan in 2000 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2016. He was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2019, though he has won only one Filmfare award for best actor in 1984 for a Tamil film, IFFI (International Film Festival of India) conferred on him the Satyajit Ray Lifetime Achievement Award this year- 2025.

Wish you a very Happy Birthday Rajnisaar (‘Thalaiva’ which translates as ‘leader’ but also used to mean ‘BOSS’). May you continue to entertain your fans. Stay Healthy. 🙂

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
———————————————————————

Today 27th November 2025 is the seventy-third birth anniversary of Composer Singer Bappi Lahiri (27.11.1952-15.02.2022). On this occasion as a tribute to him I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Sinhaasan-1986’.

I got to listen to this song earlier this year when I was still at Vadodara and was travelling from the city to my workplace around 47 kms from the city. I had earlier presented filmography of Bappi Lahiri for his Hindi Films from the 1970s and also for few years of the 1980s. However I did not include it in my series of Bappi Lahiri songs where I had presented songs that are part of my memory till 1985, because this song did not fall in that category.

Today’s movie ‘Sinhaasan-1986’ was directed by Krishna who also produced it for ‘Padmalaya Studio, Madras’. So this is one of those movies of actor Jeetendra where he was a part of many films coming from the southern part of the country. Bappi Lahiri too was the regular music composer for such films. I have not watched this movie, so can’t say much about it. However it seems to be a ‘fantasy’ movie. The cast of this movie has Jeetendra, Jaya Prada, Pran, Kader Khan, Mandakini, Shakti Kapoor, Bharat Bhooshan, Dr Shreeram Lagoo, Amjad Khan, Sujit Kumar, Gulshan Grover, Gurbachan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Waheeda Rehman, Radha and others.

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:

‘Jumbish’ (1986) was produced and directed by Salahuddin Pervez who also wrote the story, screenplay, dialogues and songs for the film. I heard his name for the first time. On checking about his filmography, I came to know that this was his first film in all these capacities. The cast included Padmini Kolhapure, Akbar Khan, Shafi Inamdar, Daya Dongre, Shehla Khan (debutant), Bharat Bhushan, Raza Murad, Raju Shreshta, Seema Deo, Prema Narayan, Javed Khan, Mushtaq Merchant etc with Yeshwant Dutt and Jagdeep making their special appearances in the film.

Jumbish is a Urdu word which means a movement or action. The story of the film is unusual compared with other Hindi mainstream films. Naturally, its cinematic presentation is also unusual. Each main character’s name in the film is indicative of their role in the film. Most of the dialogues are symbolic and philosophical in nature.

The main theme of the film is that everyone in the world want peace and properity. But there would be some devils whose main aim is to shatter the peace and prosperity by creating misunderstanding and rift between people on the basis of religion, class and caste which can lead to civil war, terror, violence etc. For centuries, there has been a constant tug of war between the divines and devils. The divines say that because of the devils, large number of human beings get killed all over the world. The devil’s response is that if there were no wars, terror, violence etc, people would have anyway died of natural calamities, diseases etc.

The story of the film is as under:

Manas (Akbar Khan) is a computer scientist who is at pain to see around the world, wars, terrorist acts, bomb blasts, ethnic and communal riots which kills thousands of persons every year. He does not see reasons as to why these destructive things are happening around him. He wants to invent a computer which will facilitate people to live together without war and hatred towards fellow human beings. Being a computer scientist, for the sake of peace and prosperity in the world, he wants to invent new types of computer machines. Whether he will succeed or not is another matter.

With this thought, he starts his computer and a somewhat weird man appears on the screen. He introduces himself as Shaitan (Shafi Inamdar) and tells him that he knows that being an intelligent man (Manas) he is inventing new computer machines to change the history of the world. Similarly, as Shaitan he also wants to change the history of the world in different direction and both of them can be partners. From today onwards, he outlines Manas’s life programme in which there is no place for love, emotion, romance, sex and finally no mother. He only wants disorder. Shaitan further cautions him that if he violets anything what he said, he will not live a life of peace and prosperity. With these words, Shaitan disappears from the computer screen. Manas ponders upon Shaitan’s threat.

After few days, Manas’s mother hears a radio news about the conference of eminent scientists of India in which Manas has made a presentation on his research by which his computer system can create the children outside man-woman relationship. She is shocked by his research and wants him stop the research forthwith which is against the nature. She reminds him that she has also given her assurance to Vidya’s father (Bharat Bhushan) that she would get Vidya (Padmini Kolhapure) married to Manas when she comes of age. Manas rejects the idea of marriage as for him the marriage is a waste of time on emotions, romance, love, sex etc. With his bizarre invention and his rejecting the concept of marriage, his mother gets an heart attack and is bedridden. Manas repents for hurting the feelings of his mother and agrees to marry Vidya.

One day, Vidya’s childhood friend, Prabhat (Raza Murad) visits her house to enquire about her well-being after marriage. Shaitan appears before Manas and manipulates his mind because of which he suspects that Vidya is having an affair with Prabhat. Earlier, the mother has wished to give employment to Mohommed Islam (Javed Khan) to whom she has given shelter after the death of his father. Once again, Shaitan visits him and warns Manas that if he tries to employ Mohommed, he will destroy his house (symbolic of creating the communal divide). The next day, Manas takes Mohommed in his car. While driving, he reveals to him that instead of employing him, he would obliterate the difference in their names through friendship and love for each other (symbolic of the communal harmony). This is not liked by Shaitan. He arranges goons and gets Mohammed killed in the mob frenzy. He abducts Manas and tortures him to obey his command before he is released.

Injured Manas returns home and finds Vidya with Prabhat who has come to take leave of her as he is leaving the city. He once again suspects Vidya of their affairs. Manas takes Vidya in his car and while driving he tells her that there path has become separate because of Prabhat. Vidya cautions him that his mind has become devilish. In his anger, Manas drives the car speedily resulting in the accident in which Vidya dies and Manas lies unconscious after hitting a rock. Shaitan has a last laugh.

A bullock cart man, Gaadiwaan (Yeshwant Dutt) picks the injured Manas who has lost his memory. Since he does not remember about himself and his house address, Gaadiwaan decides to give him shelter in his house. But because of his severe ill-health, he is not able to move his bullock cart. He tells Manas that now onwards, he is his sarathi as well as Arjun for him (symbolic of Arjun and his saarathi, Lord Krishna in Mahabharat). Manas’s mother is worried that she has not been able to find the whereabout of her son although many days have passed.

Gaadiwaan is also the victim of Shaitan as he had abducted his wife, Chandramukhi (Shehla Khan) many years back leaving the infant daughter with him. He has raised her as a single father. He has been searching Chandramukhi for years but without success. Having lost his hope, Gaadiwaan hands over a necklace to Manas with a request to deliver the same to his daughter, Dharti (Padmini Kolhapure, in dual role) who lives at another village. He also gives Manas a new name, Sagar. (symbolic names of the character as Sagar and Dharti mean that ocean touching the land gives a feeling of togetherness). Shortly thereafter, Gaadiwaan dies.

In the meanwhile, one day, Shaitan hears the lecture of Manas’s mother in a Women’s organisation on TV in which she exhorts the need to be vigil against the elements who disturb the peace and unity of the country by creating rift on the basis of religion, caste and class. This is not liked by Shaitan as it is against his wish to have the peace and prosperity. He visits her house and tells her to desist from such ‘rhetoric’ failing which it will not be good for her. But she dismisses him and asks him to leave the house. Soon she is in her car to go to her office when a burst of gun fire kills her.

Manas (now Sagar) is unaware of his mother’s killing. As instructed by Gaadiwaan, he goes to meet Dharti in a different village and gives her the necklace from which she comes to know that her father is no more. She welcomes him into his house and gives him shelter until he remembers his village. She calls him by name Sagar which she explains with a symbolic meaning. In the village, Sagar meets a boy, Kishan (Raju Shreshta) playing the flute and tells him the relevance of flute to Lord Krishna. He goes away by telling him that now nobody can separate Sagar from Dharti (metaphor for the country as well as the name of Gaadiwaan’s daughter).

One day, after taking bath in River Ganga which flows near her house, Dharti walks towards Sagar who admires her beauty in his imagination which brings in him the words, poet and the music to get a feel of her. He falls in love with her and marries Dharti in a temple. He works hard to make a barren land an prosperous agricultural field. A son is born to them who is named as Kishan (Raju Shreshta, in dual role).

Once again Shaitan comes in their way of success. He comes with goons and destroys the harvested crop claiming that the land belongs to him. He files a suit in the court for claiming the ownership of the land. On each hearings, the court adjourned for another date. The next scene goes fast forward by 20 years in which Sagar has become very old and Kishan now grown up has got a job in Mumbai to support the family as the land dispute is still in the court without any outcome. After some resistance from his father, Kishan gets a nod to depart for Mumbai not before Sagar gives him a small quantity of soil from his village (which is metaphorically called Bharat) bundled in a cloth to keep always with him in its entirety.

In the end, Kishan reaches Mumbai where Shaitan meets him and demands the bundle of soil to be given to him. He is prepared to pay him foreign currencies for exchange of the soil. But Kishan declines to sell him even at a higher price. Shaitan pleads for at least some part of the soil. Again Kishan refuses by saying that his father has instructed him not to divide the soil. [again the symbolic of attempt to divide the soil (country) by foreign funding]. At this stage the film ends with a narrator telling the audience that this is not the end of the tug of war between Shaitan (devil) and Manas/Sagar. This has happened in the past and it will happen in the future also. But the people will have to remain united to make sure that Shaitan is defeated at his every attempt.

In the film, Manas/Sagar and his mother represent the people who wants peace and unity. The story writer has created a cosmic character, Shaitan (devil) who manipulates Manas’s mind to achieve his objective. The story is interesting but becomes complex due to use of symbolism and metaphor. Shafi Inamdar in the role of Shaitan has performed wonderfully so also Daya Dongre as Manas’s mother in the film. I have not understood as to why the role of Daya Dongre is presented in Indira Gandhi’s hairstyle and mannerism. She also gets killed in the film in the same way as Indira Gandhi. I feel that the director fell short in putting his complex story cinematically understandable to general audience. The film’s each scene is like each she’r in a classical ghazal which can be interpreted differently by different persons.

Nonetheless, Salahuddin Pervez’s maiden attempt in the film-making on an important issue of peace and unity is to be applauded specially for his foresightedness. About four decades back, he had thought of the bizarre idea of Computer creating a programme for giving birth to the children outside man-woman relationship which is akin to AI in today’s world. Also, he had thought of the foreign funding (use of foreign currencies to lure Kishan to part the bundle containing the soil) in creating multiple ‘shaitans’ on their attempt to destabilse a country.

The film had seven songs (six songs on LP record) written by Salahuddin Pervez which were set to music by Jaidev. I am presenting the first song, ‘koi puraanee magar sansanee si saajish ho’ to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Penaz Masani and Bhupinder Singh who sing for Padmini Kolhapure and Akbar Khan, respectively. In this song, Padmini Kolhapure has changed her role from Vidya in the first half of the film to Dharti in the second half as part of her dual role. Akbar Khan, though in the same character, has also changed from Manas to Sagar because he has lost his memory after his head hit a rock when thrown by Shaitan.

The context of the song is that when Padmini Kolhapure returns after taking bath in River Ganga, Akbar Khan arrives and is mesmerised by her beauty. She tells him to imagine her as his words, poetry and the music. In the next visit, he imagines her that way and they both sing their feelings by singing a ghazal. The romantic ghazal is composed in the classical style. The audio clip contains one extra she’r.

By the way, the tune of the verses rendered by Bhupinder Singh reminds of the mukhda tune of the song, dekho roothha na karo from ‘Tere Ghar Ke Saamne’ (1963).

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————

(Asha Bhonsle’s 92nd birthday 8th September 2025)

Today 8th September 2025 is the ninety-third birthday of legendary singer of Hindi Films – Asha Bhonsle. On this occasion we are celebrating her birthday by presenting some songs sung by her.

The song which I am presenting in this post is from the 1986 movie ‘Jeeva’. This movie is best remembered for the classic song ‘roz roz aankhon taley’ composed by R.D.Burman, written by Gulzar and sung by Asha Bhonsle and Amit Kumar. Various stories on internet about this song mention that initially it was supposed to be a solo song by Asha Bhonsle. But on listening to this song Sanjay Dutt felt that he should also have lines to lip-sync in this song, and thus an extra stanza sung by Amit Kumar was added to this song.

‘Kaanch Ki Deewaar’ (1986) was an obscure film which I came to know only recently. The film was produced by Kamal Chaudhary and M N Yasin and the latter directed the film. Both the names are new to me and this was their debut film. The cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Smita Patil, Amrish Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Om Prakash, Rajan Sippy (debutant), Purnima, Neelu Phule, Urmila Bhatt, Raj Mehra, Lalita Kumari, Murad, Madhu Malini, Jagdeep, Birbal, Hina Kausar, Jaishree T etc. The film was released on January 31, 1986, about three months after the passing away of Sanjeev Kumar.

It appears that the film took long time to complete or to get it released as I find that there is a song by Mohammed Rafi in the film who had passed away in July 1980. The film’s lead actress, Smita Patil had started working in the mainstream commercial films in 1981 by signing a spate of such films to prove that she can as well be a successful actor in such films. The same combination of producer and director had started one more film, ‘Waqt Kaa Sikandar’ (1996) when the film under discussion was delayed in getting released. It seems the second film failed to get completed or released.

‘Baat Ban Jaaye’ (1986) was produced by Anil Hanspal and Nitin Manmohan which was directed by Bharat Rungachary. The cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Zeenat Aman, Utpal Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty, Raj Babbar, Amol Palekar, Aruna Irani, Jalal Agha, Shakti Kapoor, Adi Irani, Imtiaz Khan, Jagdeep, Prema Narayan, Viju Khote etc. The film belongs to the family comedy genre. It was the first film for Nitin Manmohan (son of actor, Manmohan) as a producer and second film as a director for Bharat Rungachary. Sanjeev Kumar passed away before the release of the film. However, he had completed all his work for the film.

The credit title of the film did not mention the names of the actors. Probably director felt that that since each actor in the film had his share of comedy, to present the film as a collective efforts of the entire cast in creating a family comedy film rather than showcasing the individual actors by mentioning their names. Incidentally, Sanjeev Kumar, Amol Palekar, Raj Babbar and Mithun Chakraborty were in the role of the prospective bridegrooms for the wealthy businesswoman, Zeenat Aman in the film.

Hullo Atuldom

Today is the birth anniversary (100th) of the legendary filmmaker, actor, choreographer of the 1950s & early ’60s. I found this article in today’s Times Of India.

As I was writing my previous post on Guru Dutt I came across this article on the internet. It spoke of K. Asif’s magnum opus “Love And God” which initially had Guru Dutt playing Qais (Majnu). But the movie halted with the death of the actor in 1964.

After a while K Asif revived “Love and God”; this time with Sanjeev Kumar playing Majnu (Qais). Nimmi was still Laila. The film again came to a halt with the passing of K. Asif in 1971, the film was about 70% complete.

(Birthday – Music Composer-Rajesh Roshan)

Today 24th May 2025 is the seventieth birthday of music director-lyricist Rajesh Roshan(born on 24.05.1955). His music composed for Hindi movies is part of growing years of people like me who were born in late sixties or early seventies. Many of his compositions have been pure nostalgia for me and same might be the case for many people like me. Rajesh Roshan has carved a niche for himself in the history of Hindi Film Music. There is a long list of his compositions that I like very much, and as and when possible I have also shared such songs on this blog.
