‘Baazaar-E-Husn’ (2014) was produced by A K Mishra, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vision Corporation Limited and was directed by Ajay Mehra. The cast included Om Puri, Reshmi Ghosh, Jeet Goswami, Yashpal Sharma, Rajeshwari Sachdev, Virendra Saxena, Rajeev Verma, Savita Prabhune, Rekha Sahay, Upasana Singh etc. The film was based on Munshi Premchand’s Urdu novel by the same name which he had also written in Hindi with the title, ‘Seva Sadan’.

It is interesting to note that the first talkie film based on this novel with the name, ‘Seva Sadan (alternative name, ‘Baazaar-E-Husn’) was released in 1934 which was produced by Mahalakshmi Cinetone, jointly owned by director Nanubhai Vakil and the actress, Zubeida. In this film, Jaddan Bai (mother of Nargis), Shahu Modak and Zubeida were the main actors. Another interesting information about this film was that the dialogues were written by Munshi Premchand himself. A Tamil film, ‘Seva Sadanam’ (1938) was also based on Munshi Premchand’s novel by the same name in which M S Subbulaxmi did the role of novel’s protagonist, Suman. A TV serial, ‘Seva Sadan’ (1986) based on the same novel was telecast on Doordarshan.

Recently, I came across the film ‘Hari Bhari’ (2000) when I was scrolling through the filmography of Shyam Benegal. After going through the details of the film, I thought that this may be a documentary film because the film was produced by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and National Film Development Corporation (NDFC).
