50 Years of Jawani Diwani

Image
  Jawani Diwani  was released on 14th July 1972, It was a musical romance film directed by Narender Bedi, and starring Randhir Kapoor, and Jaya Bhaduri, A landmark movie primarily because of RD Burman's fast, pounding and melodious score.  The movie was a hit despite the unusual and forgettable pairing of Randhir and Jaya.Bhaduri.  It was an era when music was the dominating element and enlisting Rahul Dev Burman for the job ensured half the battle was won After Hare Rama Hare Krishna it was once again Asha Bhosle was at her best combined with Kishore Kumar. In so far the plot is concerned, this is the simple story of a boy (Randhir Kapoor) meeting girl (Jaya Badhuri) at school, with the usual problems with parents.    The plot does not appeal but the music lingers.   Songs from “Jawani Diwani” impressed the youth and a cross-section of music lovers. “Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani” was a peppy number and went down well with the young brigade. “Saamne Yeh ...

Image
  One year after the release of Anand, this film 'Bawarchi' remains a  special collaboration of  Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Rajesh Khanna. Both were at the peak of their career.  T he film rests on Khanna’s inherent charm and even feeds off of his manic energy that was on full display previously in Anand. The movie opens with Bachchan saying that this story is set anywhere in India. He then introduces the Sharmas, who live in Shanti Niwas — the family home that should, as one of them jokes, actually be called Ashanti Niwas, given the amount of chaos and squabbling that takes place within its confines on a daily basis. Produced under the banner of Rupam Chitra by N C Sippy, Romu Sippy, and Hrishikesh Mukherjee,  Based on a story by Tapan Sinha and inspired by his original “Galpa Halo Satyi” (1966) in Bengali Shivnath (H arindranath Chattopadhyay) is the head of the Sharma family, who are so thoroughly argumentative that they employed. So when plucky young chef Ragh...

50 Years of Piya Ka Ghar ( Released on 23 Feb 1972)

  P iya Ka Ghar is a typical Basu Chatterjee kind of film produced by Rajshri Filma,  I n most of his movies and other television works, Basu Chatterjee has shown temperament of telling stories related to the common man. His plots are simple but directed with unmatched skill. P iya Ka Ghar falls in the same line. It portrays the difficulties of life in India's biggest city during the 1970s in the form of a comic family drama. Piya ka Ghar  gives us a glimpse of that life while also highlighting the problem of space and accommodation in Mumbai. Girdharilal Sharma is a middle-class man who is lucky enough to own a home in Bombay. But that home is not big enough for his family. It is a one-room apartment in a chawl and his house is forever busy with guests and neighbors. So even though his newlywed son and daughter-in-law crave some privacy, they struggle to find some. It's a funny yet sensitive take on a situation that still cripples many in the maximum ...
