‘Eklavya’ (2007) was produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra under his banner, Vinod Chopra Productions and was directed by him. The cast included Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Vidya Balan, Jackie Shroff, Boman Irani, Jimmy Shergill, Sharmila Tagore, Raima Sen, Parikshit Sahni, Mitha Vashisht etc. The film is an action costume drama with a background of a Royal family in a contemporary setting. The film was majorly shot in Rajasthan.
The title of the film, ‘Eklavya’ has nothing to do with Eklavya of Mahabharat. In the film, the mother of the royal guard tells her son that he should be like Eklavya in following the dharma which is his duties towards the Royal family. Just to avoid some confusion, the official name of the film is ‘Eklavya – The Royal Guard’.
The story of the film is as under:
Eklavya (Amitabh Bachchan) is a loyal bodyguard of an aging Rana Jaywardhan (Boman Irani), the present king of Devigarh. Now aged, Eklavya is nearly blind. Rana Jaywardhan is sitting besides his dying wife, Queen Suhasini Devi (Sharmila Tagore) when she faintly utters ‘Eklavya’ a number of times. Rana gets mad and the queen gets killed by the hands of Rana. Her mentally challenged daughter, Nandini (Raima Sen) is present during the death of the queen. Somehow, Rana starts believing that Eklavya knows a secret about the Royal couple. He orders his younger brother, Jyotiwardhan (Jackie Shroff) to execute Eklavya. Actually, Jyotiwardhan and his son, Udaywardhan (Jimmy Shergill) are conspiring to get rid of Rana.
Meanwhile, Prince Harshwardhan (Saif Ali Khan) returns from London to perform the last rites of His mother queen. Of many persons come to receive him, he is happy to see his driver (Parikshit Sahni) and his daughter, Rajjo (Vidya Balan) besides Eklavya. Rajjo meets Prince Harshwardhan and hands over a closed letter written by the queen and addressed to Harshwardhan. He reads the letter with a shocking expression because she has revealed in the letter that Eklavya is the real father of Harshwardhan and his sister, Nandini.
The other development is that there is a death threat to Rana due to rising unrest among the farmers as their lands have been seized by the royals. Inwardly, there is a prevalence of uneasy relationship between Rana’s family and his younger brother, Jyotiwardhan’s family. So, DSP, Pannalal (Sanjay Dutt) meets Rana to assure him of police protection. But before it is being implemented, there is an assassination attempt on Rana who is now angry. He instructs his brother, Jyotiwardhan to kill Eklavya. Instead, Jyotiwardhan kills Rana during which his driver also gets killed.
Now it becomes free for alls in Royal family. Eklavya gets some clue to conclude that it was Jyotiwardhan and his son, Udaywardhan to be responsible in killing Rana. Eklavya kills Udaywardhan and takes his father Jyotiwardhan to his dead body with the intention of killing him also. Before that, Jyotiwardhan reveals to Eklavya that it was the Prince Harshwardhan who ordered killing of Rana. In a fit of anger, Eklavya kills Jyotiwardhan.
Prince Harshwardhan reveals to Rajjo that it was he who managed to get Rana killed. Rajjo leaves the Prince since he was indirectly responsible for her father, Omkar Singh getting killed. Now it is the turn of Eklavya to kill the Prince, his biological son as per his dharma. However, before that, Eklavya wants to know from him as to why he ordered killing Rana. Prince Harshwardhan explains the reason for killing Rana because his sister, Nandini who was the witness at the time of the death of her mother, saw Rana smothering the semi-conscious mother to death because she uttered Eklavya’s name. Prince Harshwardhan tells Eklavya to kill him to adhere to his dharma. But Eklavya’s hand trembles. Prince Harshwardhan decides to commit suicide by his revolver. But before that, Eklavya throws his dagger to dislodge the revolver from his hand thus saves Prince Harshwardhan and hugs him.
After Harshwardhan take charge of the royal duties, he calls all the villagers who have lost their lands and distributes the legal documents making them owners of the land. He also announces publicly that from now onwards, he regards Eklavya as his father. DSP, Pannalal visits the palace showing a suicide note which says that Jyotiwardhan and his son Udaywardhan, afraid of being caught by the police for killing Rana, committed suicide in front of a speeding train. Rajjo reconciles with Prince Harshwardhan when she comes to know the real reason for Rana getting killed.
I am happy that I watched this beautifully crafted film with technical excellence, a few days before writing this article. It has a shade of Shakespearean tragedy. All the main actors have given excellent performances. The dramatic verbal duel between Amitabh Bachchan and Saif Ali Khan, especially of about 10 minutes duration towards the end of the film are of high calibre. Some of the close-up photography of the main actors speaks much more than the dialogues. There are some excellent shots of night photography. The visuals are appealing. The costumes look authentic and why not. They have been designed by Raghavendra Rathod who is from the royal family of Jaipur. This film is mainly meant for the niche audience. For the general audience, the film may be too slow to enjoy.
The film had three songs written by Swanand Kirkire and set to music by Shantanu Moitra. I am presenting the first song from the film, ‘chandaa re chandaa re dheere se muskaa’ to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Hansika Iyer who sings for Vidya Balan. Saif Ali Khan and Raima Sen are also in the picturisation frames of the song.
The song is composed like a lullaby, but the lyrics of the song give the impression that Vidya Balan who is in love with Saif is coaxing him to shade his pride and smile. The reason is that a small part of the song is also used in a different scene as a lullaby in the background when Saif is putting his mentally challenged sister (Raima Sen) to sleep.
It is a lovely song with the soft orchestration.

‘Bobby Jaasoos’ (2014) was produced by Dia Mirza and Sahil Sangha under the joint banners of Born Free Enterprises and Reliance Entertainment and was directed by debutant Samar Shaikh who also wrote the story. The screenplay and dialogues were written by Sanyukta Chawla-Shaikh. Vidya Balan and Ali Fazal were in the lead roles supported by Supriya Pathak-Kapur, Tanvi Azmi, Zarina Wahab, Arjan Bajwa, Rajendra Gupta, Kiran Kumar, Anupriya Goenka, Prasad Barve, Aakash Dahiya etc.
This is a story about a girl nicknamed Bobby from a conservative Muslim joint family based in the outskirt of Hyderabad. She wants to be detective much against the wishes of her father. She does start the detective work and becomes successful. But it is more with comical elements than with her professional touch. The story of the film becomes a bit complex when a local TV host who wants to avoid marriage fixed by his father, tries to engage Bobby to find out some adverse things about the girls on the basis of which he can reject the marriage proposal. But things work out something else between TV host and Bobby leading to some unexpected twist in the story.
The story of the film in some details is as under:
Bilqis, nicknamed as Bobby (Vidya Balan) lives with her conservative family in the outskirt of old Hyderabad. She is past her marriageable age. But she has an unconventional dream. She is addicted to watching TV serials ‘CID’ which has created interest in her to become a detective. She goes to a reputed detective agency to get employed but the owner refuses to employ her because of her unsophisticated behaviour and lack of higher education. Bobby decides to set up her own detective agency. Initially, she gets some small inconsequential detective work in which she becomes successful. In this, Tasawwur (Ali Fazal), a TV host is her regular client who seeks Bobby’s services in warding off his father’s pressure to get married by giving unfavourable reports on the girls his father has chosen as his bride. She also get a case from Lala (Arjan Bajwa), a local goon to break the proposed marriage of his girl friend, Afreen (Anupriya Goenka) to a groom selected by her father. Despite her success, Bobby continues to face disapproval of her father (Rajendra Gupta). The only silver lining to pursue her detective job is the tacit support from her mother (Supriya Pathak) and her Aunt (Tanvi Azmi).
But Bobby is not happy in solving local detectives cases which neither give her thrill in solving the cases nor are they lucrative. But luck smiles on her. She gets a wealthy client, Anees Khan (Kiran Kumar) who has given Bobby to search for a missing girl without providing much of a detailed background except her date of birth and a birthmark on her hand. She visits many places in disguise, such as a bangle seller, coaching classes, beauty parlours etc and she cracks the case by finding out her whereabouts.
Happy with Bobby’s success, Khan promptly pays her fees and gives her another case of a missing girl with the only information of a birth mark on her arm. This time, Bobby changes her strategy of investigation. Instead of visiting many places, she calls girls for the audition of a fake TV show. Many girls report for the audition during which Bobby sees their bare arms for the birthmark. She finds the missing girl among them with the birthmark with minimum efforts. Again, Khan showers her with large cash.
In the meanwhile, Tasawwur (Ali Fazal) who is not interested in marriage, works out a plan to ward off his father’s pressure on him to get married. He reveals to his father that he is in love with Bobby. After his initial reservation, his father is happy that at least his son has now agreed to get married. He promptly meets Bobby’s parents who are also pleased with the marriage proposal. Tasawwur has planned this under the presumption that Bobby would definitely reject his marriage proposal knowing her nature. Then he can indefinitely postpone the marriage in the guise of a jilted lover. But his plan fails. Bobby is angry with Tasawwur for playing the games with his family for his self-interest. In a fit of anger, Bobby agrees for the marriage to teach him a lesson. The engagement ceremony takes place. Tasawwur asks her in desperation whether she is really prepared to marry him. She responds by saying that she is currently busy with solving a case of a missing boy and if he helps her in this case, she would think about the marriage afterwards.
Anees Khan wants Bobby to find yet another missing person, this time a boy with a damaged toe. Bobby is happy with this case as she gets more money. But a doubt creeps in her mind fed by Lala as to why Anees Khan is ready to spend so much money to find them. She had also observed that Anees Khan had paid money to an unknown person after both the girls were found. She does a reality check. She finds that of the two missing girls she found out for him, one has disappeared and the family of the second girl has left the place for some unknown destination. Bobby starts doubting about Anees Khan’s intention. So, instead of starting her new detective work to find out the missing boy for Anees Khan, she starts the detective work to find out the antecedent of Anees Khan.
With the help of Tasawwur and some luck factors in her favour, Bobby finds that Anees Khan is the father of two missing girls and a boy who is none other than Lala. They went missing after a communal riot. After finding two girls, Anees Khan has sent them to London for higher studies and had paid money to an unknown person who was the foster father of his two missing daughters.
The film ends with Bobby and Tasawwur in love with each other but still undecided about the marriage.
I found the film interesting and entertaining with down to earth characters. The film does have a predictable suspense but the underlying purpose of the film was not to make it a suspense thriller. The film conveys a subtle message through a comical detective character, Bobby and the TV host, Tasawwur that every man and woman have right to live on their own terms. In a way, ‘Bobby Jaasoos’ (2014) is a Muslim social film with a blend of traditionality with modernity. The film flopped at the box office but I am sure that this film would be as critically discussed as other flopped films in this comedy genre like ‘Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron’ (1983) and ‘Andaaz Apna Apna’ (1994).
‘Bobby Jaasoos’ (2014) had 4 songs written by Swanand Kirkire and set to music by Shantanu Moitra. I am presenting the first song from the film, ‘arziyaan de rahaa hai dil aao’ to appear on the Blog. It is a duet song rendered by Papon (Real Name: Angaraag Mahanta) and Shreya Ghoshal. The main song is preceded by what sounds like a Sufi-style invocation which is again rendered in-between the song and at the end of the song. It gives a feeling of a mystical love song and this fits well in the situation. Bobby (Vidya Balan) and Tasawwur (Ali Fazal) are in love with each other yet it is illusive for both of them for different reasons.
The main song has been composed in the traditional ghazal tune with the soulful rendition of Papon and Shreya Ghoshal. There is an excellent Veena rendition in the last interlude which gives a feel of Carnatic music . The song has been shot with Golconda Fort and Qutb Shahi Tombs in the background, giving a nostalgical feelings.

‘Tumhaari Sulu’ (2017) was produced under the banner of T-Series and Ellipsis Entertainment and was directed by Suresh Triveni. Vidya Balan and Manav Kaul were in the lead roles, supported by Neha Dhupia, Vijay Maurya, Uday Lagoo, Malishka Mendonsa, Mahesh Pillai, Seema Taneja etc. Anshuman Khurana made a special appearance as himself. The film’s music director, Santanu Ghatak also acted in the film as himself.
This was a debut film for its director, Suresh Triveni who has come with the background of making advertising films. Palakkad born, Suresh Triveni did his schooling in Ranchi and Chennai and post-graduation in marketing from Delhi. After making many advertising and some documentary films, Suresh Triveni had an obsession of doing his debut feature film in Hindi with Vidya Balan. He wrote the story of ‘Tumhaari Sulu’ (2017) keeping Vidya Balan in mind. After reading the script, she agreed to work in the film.
This is a feminist film of a house-wife’s muted aspiration to do something more than working in the kitchen, cleaning the house, watching the TV programmes and waiting for the conversation with her husband on his return from work. After getting a job as RJ, she becomes a housewife cum working woman, trying to work out a balance between her personal problems and her professional career. At the end, the woman is prepared to sacrifice her job to take care of her family. The husband leaves his job to help the wife in her new business of supplying tiffin to offices. Now husband is working from home, helping the wife in her business while she continues to work as RJ. The film gives a hope to those who had not done well in studies that there are alternative avenues available to be successful in life.
The story of the film is as under:
A nucleus middle class family consisting of Sulochana or Sulu (Vidya Balan), her husband, Ashok (Manav Kaul) and a school-going son lives in a distant suburb of Mumbai. Ashok works as a sales executive in readymade Garment making company. They are a happy and a loving family. Sulu always gets sarcastic comments from her well-to-do sisters, working in banks and from her father for not completing her 12th and thus not as successful as her sisters. Ashok encourages Sulu to take up a job so that she is not bored at home and also supplement the family income.
Sulu considers various options to start a business which remain only at the level of her ideas. She is passionate about participating in in Radio quiz and in one of the quiz programmes, she wins a prize of pressure cooker for which she visits the Radio Channel office to collect the prize. In the office she reads an advertisement for recruitment of a fresh Radio Jockey RJ). She meets RJ, Albeli Anjali (Malishka Mendonca) with whom she has been talking on the phone on her programme. Albeli takes Sulu to the channel head Maria (Neha Dhupia) who is impressed by her unconventional talks. Sulu is selected but there is no immediate job for her,
The pestering by Sulu day-in-day-out forces Maria to start a late-night show with Sulu as RJ with the name of the programme called ‘Tumhaari Sulu’. In this programme, Sulu gets calls from a number of lonely men facing personal problems for which she has to give some solutions or moral supports. And she does it in her husky voice while simultaneously peeling peas for the next day’s menu at home. Over a period of time, her radio programme becomes very popular giving stability in her job. Being a late-night radio programme, Ashok has to manage the house. When Sulu is successful in her newfound career, Ashok’s job in the Garment making company is at stake which put a lot of mental stress on him resulting in arguments with Sulu. However, this is only momentary and does not affect their loving relationship. Although Ashok would wish Sulu to quit the job, he would not say so.
Adding to the problem is that their son has been rusticated from the school when he is found in possession of porn material in the classroom. Ashamed, the son runs away from home. Although, he has been found and returned home, Sulu decides to quit her job as she feels that her family needs her more than her job. While she is returning after collecting her pay cheque, she watches a fight between tiffin supplier and the receptionist of the Radio Channel which gives her idea to start the business of delivering lunch tiffins to offices.
Ashok has left his job and works from home to carry on his business of delivering tiffins to offices in partnership with his wife, Sulu. She continues to work as RJ in her radio programme, ‘Tumhaari Sulu’, giving the callers a feel of a loving RJ caring about them in the same way she is taking care of her family.
It is obvious that the director, Suresh Triveni has written the story with larger focus on Vidya Balan’s character. It is Vidya Balan all the way in the film. She is joyous throughout the film except towards the end of the film when she tells her intention to quit her job to Maria in her moist eyes. Manav Kaul in the role of Sulu’s husband has also done well in the film.
The film has 5 songs written one each by 5 lyricists. These songs were composed by as many as 8 music directors. One song was jointly composed by 4 music directors which may be a record. I am presenting the first song from the film, ‘kaise kaise dhaagon se buni hai ye duniya’ to appear on the Blog. This a debut song for the Hindustani classical vocalist, Ronkini Gupta as a playback singer and also the debut for Santanu Ghatak as a lyricist and the music director.
I personally feel that out of 5 songs in the film, the song under discussion is only one which fits well with the theme of the film. It is a philosophical song about the life and inter-personal relationship. The lyricist sees the world comprising of different threads. We have to sew some and darn (rafu) some. Sometime in our life, we have to face difficulties in the same way as we see a series of clouds in otherwise the sunny sky. We ‘sew’ relationship with our relatives and friends over a period of time. Sometime, strains in the ‘stiches’ of relationship develop which we should try to keep it intact by ‘darning’ them. In our entire life, we ‘sew’ miles of threads (story), some remains undarn despite many attempts. Let us enjoy the remainder (aadha-pauna) of our life with our ‘woven and darned’ thread of relationship. By the way, this is probably the first time, I have come across the word ‘rafoo’ (darn) in Hindi film songs.
This song is one of the best examples of how a song can be composed melodiously with simple renditions, minimum orchestration (I hear only piano and guitar notes) and with simple yet highly meaningful lyrics. Kudos to Santanu Ghatak who has written and composed the song and the singer, Ronkini Gupta.

‘Parineeta’ (2005) was produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and was directed by debutant Pradeep Sarkar. The star cast included Saif Ali Khan and the debutant Vidya Balan in the lead role with Sanjay Dutt, Dia Mirza, Raima Sen, Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Achyut Potdar, Surinder Kaur, Supriya Shukla, Rajesh Sharma etc. Rekha made a cameo appearance in the film.
The story of ‘Parineeta’ (2005) is based on Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s famous Bengali novella of the same name. The first Hindi film based on this novella was made by Bimal Roy in 1953 with the same title. I will skip discussing the story of the film in this article as Peevesie’s Mom has already covered in this post. I would only add here that the debutant director, Pradeep Sarkar and the debutant lead actress, Vidya Balan gave the impression in the film that they were the seasoned artists. With this film, Saif Ali Khan proved that he could do challenging roles as well. Shantanu Moitra proved with his music direction in the film that he can compose songs like R D Burman in ‘1942 – A Love Story’ (1994).
There are 7 songs in the film of which 3 songs have already been covered on the Blog. I am presenting the 4th song which is my most favourite in the film. The song I am referring to is ‘piyu bole piya bole jiya dole jaanu na’. The song is rendered by Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal and Chorus on the words of Swanand Kirkire which is set to music by Shantanu Moitra. The song under discussion has impressed me so much that I have watched this song umpteen times. It turns out that minute details of the song have willy-nilly got engraved in my mind.
The background as well as situation of the song in the film is that Saif Ali Khan (Shekhar) who has more interest in Rabindra Sangeet and Elvis Presley than in his father’s business is struggling to compose a tune for a song on the piano. He calls Vidya Balan (Lalita) who is his next-door neighbour and a childhood friend to help him out.
Before the start of the main song, Saif Ali Khan plays piano for a tune and he starts humming the tune with vocables like ‘la la la la’ and ‘ hey ae ae’. Shreya Ghoshal singing for Vidya Balan helps Saif Ali Khan by joining him with his vocables. He encourages her by telling ‘not bad’ which is his catchphrase in the film. The beauty of the song is that from the start of the main song, Shreya Ghoshal sings with the accomplishment of the prominent tabla beats. And this remains throughout the singing part of the song. On a couple of occasions, solo flute is played within the antaras which is pleasing to the ears. The orchestration has been kept soft in the background throughout the song in keeping with the period of the story.
One unique feature of the song is the use of choir singing in the two interludes of the song. I think, there is some symbolism which the music director has tried to convey. The choir singing is symbolic of spirituality and union with the God. In this song, there is an inherent feeling of mutual love and the desire for the union in the minds of Shekhar and Lalita. The two antaras of the song give that indication of relationship, that is between a river and the ocean and between the rain-bearing clouds and the thirsty land. The choir singing in the interludes adds luster to the song.
The whole song is a musical conversation between Shekhar and Lalita. In my view, this song is a masterpiece because everything is perfect in this song – the lyrics, the music, the rendition, the picturisation and the performances of the actors involved in the song. I do not recall as to who said that poetry (lyrics) is the soul of a song. In this song, Shantanu Moitra has nicely ‘dressed up’ the song with the melody and rhythm. Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal and the chorus singers have provided the perfect ‘ornaments’ to the song. For me, the song under discussion has, in terms of gymnastic events, the score of perfect 10.

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 25
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Ah yes, of course. The reading of the title line tells us that we are getting another repeat song. And this one is a blockbuster – everybody knows the original, so I will not spend much time on that.
However, interesting to note the circumstances under which this song has been re used. This song is from a recent Marathi biopic ‘Ekk Albela’ – a 2016 film that chronicles the life of Bhagwan Dada. And so, the making of such a biopic would never have been considered complete without the inclusion of this song.
The song has been re-recorded for the film in the voices of Vinay Mandke and Anwesha. The original lyrics and the original tune has been retained intact. The on screen scenario of the song has also been retained almost in-toto. The song is presented a stage dance song, as it was in the original film ‘Albela’ from 1951. On screen, the roles of Bhagwan and Geeta Bali are enacted by Mangesh Desai and Vidya Balan. Vidya Balan appears in this film in a cameo role, especially for the songs.
The available video of this song seems to be a promotional clip, as it also contains some additional footage about the film. The original 1951 hit has 3 stanzas, but this version uses only two. The first stanza – “Mehki Hawaayen. . .” seems to have been cut out of this video at least. There seems to be a very minute jerk as the song moves from the title lines and jumps straight to the second stanza.
‘Ekk Albela’ is directed by Shekhar Sartandel and produced by Dr Monish Babre under the Kimaya Motion Pictures banner. It is presented by Manglmurti Films. The film stars Mangesh Desai in lead role as Bhagwan Dada and Vidya Balan in cameo role as Geeta Bali. The supporting cast features Vidhyadhar Joshi, Prasad Pandit, Swapnil Rajshekhar, Vighnesh Joshi, Shekhar Phadke, Shriram Kolhatkar and Arun Bhadsavle.
Interestingly, the film also includes two other hits from the original ‘Albela’ – “Shaam Dhale Khidki Taley. . .” and “Naam Bade Aur Darshan Chhote”. Both songs are not available as complete videos as yet. One will have to visit the original Marathi film to ascertain whether these songs were filmed in full, for the latter film. Potential for more repeat song posts. 🙂
Enjoy this song yet once again, in color.

Hullo to all in Atuldom
On this blog, Atul has a page for birthdays of various Hindi film artistes. He has meticulously kept track of these dates and makes it a point, as much as possible, to post a song honouring the artiste on the concerned date. That is like a doctor treating his patients.

Chaandni Raaten – Song No. 9
——————————-
This song is simply my most favourite ‘chaand’ song of the 21st century. The last two decades had a few such music scores in Hindi films, ‘ Khaamoshi ‘ and ‘Parineeta’ are among them which made the decades bearable musically. Favourite ‘chaand’ song from the 90’s is here. Melody in film songs was still trying to keep its head above the general cacophony which passed for music and entertainment.

‘Parineeta’ (2005) is one of the aesthetically better movies of the last decade. I had seen this movie on cable TV, but had liked the movie and songs a lot. The movie, cinematography and the understated treatment of the adapted story from Saratchandra Chatterjee’s classic literary piece, were impressive. It is a glamorously packaged product with the subtle nuances. It is directed by Pradeep Sarkar and had Saif Ali Khan and Vidya Balan playing the lead roles, with supporting cast of Sanjay Dutt, Dia Mirza, Raima Sen etc. Its crisp editing is also a feature that I had noted back than, while watching the film.
