(Majrooh) Baaz (1953)

Guru Dutt wrote the story, screenplay, and directed this film about pirates and high sea adventure. He also was in the movie, his first appearance as an actor. Even though he was the hero of the film, it was all Geeta Bali. She in the title role had more heroics than anyone else in the film and was simply magnificent.

This was a third directorial venture for Guru. He made his debut as a director with his friend Dev Anand’s smashing “Baazi” in 1951. It was followed by another Dev starrer in 1952, “Jaal”. The other commonalities of these two films, besides Dev and Guru, they also had Geeta Bali in both of them. SD Burman was their music director. Sahir Ludhianvi wrote lyrics for both the films.

With the success he enjoyed with his first two films, Guru was trying to come up with a “different” film. Geeta Bali’s sister was in the marketplace to produce a movie. When Guru became available he was contracted to make the film. The movie finally ended up with three co-producers; Geeta Bali’s sister, her husband, and Guru himself. For its music, Guru decided to sign O.P. Nayyar as the music director. Majrooh wrote the lyrics. Guru had three assistant directors; Raj Khosla, Atma Ram, and Niranjan.

All said and done when the movie was finished and released it proved to be a financial disaster. Geeta Bali’s sister lost a fortune. So did Guru. The friendship between Bali and Dutt strained. The only outstanding thing that emerged from the film was its ever so fresh and lilting music. OP was simply magnificent.

The financial debacle of the film had some ramifications in Guru’s life. Looking for some stability before he can stand back on his own legs, he pressed on the playback singer Geeta Roy, who was more successful and financially secure than him, with whom he was in love with to marry him. In late May of 1953 Geetaji and Guru were married.

In this album, Geetaji dominates with six beautiful solos. One of the solos has three different parts to it. Here are these songs and others from this lovely album…

(Shailendra) Sanskar (1952)

This was Mumtaz's very first movie appearance. One of the stars of this movie was Shashi Kapoor, himself a relatively newcomer, as a boy actor. Many years later when Mumtaz was struggling as an actress and was getting parts only in B-grade movies, someone offered her a role to play heroine opposite Shashi Kapoor. Shashi Kapoor found this objectionable. He vehemently protested saying that he doesn't want to act with some B-grade movie actress. Eventually her perseverance paid off and Mumtaz hit it big. Shashi was now willing to act with her. They were together in "Prem Kahani" and "Chor Machaye Shor". Let's hand an F grade to Shashi for this crummy attitude towards his fellow professionals. Talking about hypocrisy...

(Javed Akhtar) Trishul (1978)

Salim & Javed have recycled this story many times where an abandoned child is raised by his mother to grow up to get even with his estranged father. Yash Chopra himself directed several movies based on the same story. Besides the familiar theme, most of these movies also had almost the same stars. This movie was a huge hit. Yet this was one of the inferior works of everyone involved.

The team of Khayyam & Sahir was back once again for this movie. Even though results were not as spectacular as before when they pooled their talents together for "Kabhi Kabhie (1976)", the songs and music of this film are actually not that bad. One of our great and talented singers Yesudasji joins Kishoreda and Lataji in various songs in this film. He has three songs.

Interestingly, Waheeda who played wife of Amitabh in their previous outing in "Kabhi Kabhie" only two years earlier stars here as Amitabh's mother who eventually incites and inspires her son to avenge the wrong doing done by his father.

I am uploading songs from this film from an original soundtrack album below...
