BOLLYWOOD SCREEN LEGEND: DEV ANAND:


Synopsis

Raju (Dev Anand), once a successful tourist guide, hesitates to return to his hometown of Udaipur after his release from jail and decides to search for his fortunes elsewhere. He ends up in a remote village temple wearing over his threadbare clothes a saffron scarf which had once belonged to some passing mendicant, and finds himself suddenly elevated to the position of a holy man. Six months pass; Raju's mother (Leela Chitnis) and Rosie, a dancer and Raju's lover (Waheeda Rehman), arrive at the jail to take him home but are told he was let off six months earlier. Rosie takes Raju's mother home and relates her own side of the story. She was the daughter of a professional temple dancer who, in an attempt to give her a respectable existence, married her off to a middle-aged archeologist, Marco (Kishore Sahu), who not only had no time for her but also forced her to leave dancing as it was not considered a respectable pastime. On an excavation, they took Raju as their guide and while Marco spent his days and nights at an excavation site, drinking and whoring, the rebellious and neglected Rosie tried to commit suicide. She was saved by Raju, in love with her by now, and encouraged by him to leave Marco and lead a life of her own. Rosie left Marco and and came to live with Raju. Naturally tongues wagged at the sanctity of their 'live-in' relationship and soon Raju was abandoned by all his friends and even his mother. Neglecting his own career, Raju groomed Rosie to become a professional dancer. Soon Rosie became the rage of the country as Nalini and Raju suddenly found himself a rich man, but their personal relationship started to deteriorate when he took to drinking and gambling with this new found wealth. When Marco tried to reenter Rosie's life, Raju forged Rosie's signature in an attempt to keep him away from her. Meanwhile, failing to revive the relationship they used to share, Raju left Rosie and went back home. However Raju's forgery was discovered and he was arrested. Though she initially misunderstood his motives, Rosie met him in jail and promised to wait for him. Back to the present. Raju now has got accustomed to being a holy man, but in that role he has actually helped the village to acquire its own school, hospital and postal service. One day he tells the villagers a story his mother had told him long ago of another holy man who had kept a fast for twelve days to bring rain to a parched land. Unfortunately, before the story is forgotten, drought hits the village. The villagers beg him to fast for them. For Raju the playacting becomes the reality. He starts believing that this is a task assigned to him by god. Raju's mother and Rosie reach there and watch helplessly as Raju slowly drifts towards death due to the fasting. The rains come at last, The rains come at last, and while the villagers dance wildly outside, Raju dies of starvation....

The film

Guide is one of the most remarkable films of Indian Cinema and truly a film that was ahead of its times. Based on R.K. Narayan's novel The Guide, the film is immortalized by Director Vijay Anand's bold, unconventional strokes;who would have dared to show a man and woman living together outside the sanctity of a marriage way back in the 1960s? And that too in a milieu as traditional as that of Hindi cinema which doesn't allow nonconformist relationships even today! In fact, it is one of the earliest efforts in Indian Cinema to actually show its two leading characters as frail human beings who could make mistakes in life, sin and yet be unapologetic about it. Consequently Dev Anand, who also produced the film, was advised by all and sundry not to touch this project with a barge pole but it speaks volumes of his conviction towards the subject matter that not only did he get a film made on it but a film that remains one of the landmark films of Indian Cinema.

BOLLYWOOD SCREEN LEGEND: DEV ANAND:


Dev Anand on life, stardom and his autobiography
Thursday, November 01, 2007 18:22 [IST]

By Devansh Patel

To interview Amitabh Bachchan is one thing and to interview Dev saab is another. Fondly known as the 'evergreen' star of Indian cinema, Dev saab has shown more colours other than green to his fans, well-wishers and to his latest autobiography 'Romancing with Life'.

The book gives you an in-depth look from his early days of the 1930's in Gurdaspur to his struggling years of the 1940's in Bombay, his relationship with his brothers to his bittersweet memories with his close friend Raj Kapoor and from his first directorial debut Prem Pujaari to his forthcoming international project, when heartbeats are the same.

In London's Hilton Park Lane, he greets me with his famous smile and offers me the chair kept beside him in his room. I decline and sit next to him near his feet to know more about his book and even more about his relationships and the thing which he can't live without - his passion for cinema.

We've seen you more often romancing with actresses on screen, what's the logic behind 'Romancing with Life'?

I released this book in Delhi on September 26, which is my birthday and the birthday of our Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh. You are talking to me, you have come all the way from your house to interview me in my room in Hilton, you've also got a photographer with you, you've seen my films over the last so many years and if you are a fan of mine, you must've seen it with greater interest. I am sitting on my chair and you are sitting on the floor and recording my interview. It is a sense of closeness. You are talking to me and I am talking to you. It's the involvement of love and affection and that is what ˜Romancing with Life' is all about.

Why did you choose London to launch it again?

I have launched it in my country first. I am going to launch it in New York. I went to six or seven cities in India before going to Stockholm in Sweden with lots of Asian fans. Then I went to the book fair in Frankfurt and came to London. I have my trip planned to New York, Atlanta, L.A, and Chicago. I have also been invited to the Far East, Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. When people ask me where I would like to settle down outside my country, I tell them - London...and not America because London is the heart of the world.

You are 84. But do you think the book can be classified as an 'evergreen' book?

I am sure it is. It's a life of a man who came to Bombay from Lahore during undivided India at the age of 19 who wanted to be a movie star, which I did become in the very first picture, remained the star until then, and switched over to writing and directing films. That was my own growth. Stars come and die but a Motion Picture maker never dies. ˜Romancing with Life' is romantic because my own life has been romantic. Thus, the book can also be called 'evergreen'.

It came as a shock to everyone when Jaya Bachchan announced that you were the one who opted out of Zanjeer giving the young Amitabh Bachchan his first big hit and a tag of an 'angry young man'. Do you regret being an action hero?

I am Master of All and the only person who makes his own judgments for what he wants to do in his life. I have made all kinds of films irrespective of whether they have done well at the box office or not. I made a film called Prem Pujaari, which reflected on the 1965 conflict with Pakistan. Then I made Hare Rama Hare Krishna on the hippie movement. I made a film on the censorship called Censor and my last picture was a satire on Indian politics after the 2004 elections in India called Mr. Prime Minister. I am the only person who is making films on what is happening in the world.

On one hand you have the Book's success and on the other the Box office failure. Are you afraid of failure?

The point is who knows the box office? Box office just happens. In fact, I am also planning to make a film on the Box office. If there were a set formula for making films for the box office success then all the filmmakers would have been billionaires. As far as the book is concerned, it is a reader's friend. Only those who like me, know me, or want to know about my past, present, and the future will buy the book. In fact, the first set of books printed in India have all been sold out and I have just one copy with me today which I will sign it personally and give it to you. The second lot is on its way.

But why launch a book in London by Tina Ambani and not any other celebrity?

I launched Tina in Des Pardes in 1978 when she was 16 years old shooting here in London. This time I thought of taking Tina Ambani with me for the release of my book. She agreed and got Anil Ambani, her husband too. Even her husband Anil said in front of the media that if his wife was not Tina Munim, he would not have chased her. Thus, the entire evening was a star-studded affair made special by Tina.

Three names that changed the Hindi cinema for good: Dev Anand, Raj Kapoor, and Dilip Kumar. However, tell us something about your association with Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar

Raj also made his own pictures. He was passionate about film making and acting whereas Dilip never went into movie making. There was not much competition among us as we all were busy with our own films. In addition, to let you know that I was a bit close to Dilip than Raj as Raj was too busy in his own world of Charlie Chaplin-oriented films. But both of them were good friends.

Continue...............

Any particular film of yours which still inspires you to carry on further?

I have reached a great height of stardom and so every film is special to me and each film inspires me. I thought that I was responsible to my audience and wanted to give them something new which other people could not offer. I am a thinker and that is what gave birth to ˜Romancing with Life'. The book speaks my language. It is like my structure and is like a screenplay. I am lucky because it is the people who give me such inspiration to do better and bigger things in life.

Tell us about your three best performances which you would like to repeat at this age.

I would not like to repeat because I do not believe in repetitions. It is like going backwards. I want to go forward in my life. There have been many performances, which have been hailed by the world; performances, which were hailed by the critics, some performances that you hail yourself that, go unnoticed. I think every film I have done; I've put in my best. If I were to name a film by which my fans know me till today it has to be - Guide.

You have rated ˜Romancing with Life' as one of your best works. As far as films are concerned, which script would you rate as your favorite?

My own writing work was brilliant in the film, Censor. I had to present two point of views. One of a liberal mind and the other of a conservative mind, which meant the government. I want to out-play myself in every department, whether it's acting, writing my book or writing scripts for my films. Each day I am growing younger and learning.

Let's talk about the fashionable Dev Anand. You used to wear the most expensive clothes from the film fraternity, girls waited in long queues to have a look at your puffed hairstyle and your way of swinging and talking still inspires hundreds of stand-up comedians. What do you have to say?

I was myself. I was Dev Anand. I did not create a style or set a statement. But I experimented with my style and when you experiment, chances are that you may not be liked. But with me, I set a trend as my fans from all over the world wanted their Dev Anand to be the way they wanted him to be. I still wear one thing, which has been with me since more than three decades and that is my scarf.

There was one episode with Zeenat Aman, yourself and Raj Kapoor which is sending shock waves to the fans who have read your book. How true is that?

Each and every page of ˜Romancing with Life' is true. Nothing is false. I cannot talk much in detail about the incident, which happened during the evening party. I had no monopoly over Zeenat. I said one day that Zeenat will be a big star and she did. She became a cult figure. I brought her to the world of cinema and the world took her. I was the one who introduced Zeenat to Raj and for which Raj paid me a compliment. All I can say is that one has to move ahead in life and that is what I did at that time.

Performance wise, whom would you rate as your best co-actress.

I cannot talk about any one. Right now, I can remember that Waheeda Rehman was good in Guide, Zeenat was good in Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Tina grew with Des Pardes and Nutan in Tere Ghar Ke Samne. I have enjoyed working with Suraiya and Hema Malini too.

At 84, do you still dream of having an Oscar Award for the lifetime achievement?

It is a tremendous stimulus for the man who gets an Oscar. They say when you get an Oscar, the revenue of a motion picture skyrockets. It's a great to win an Oscar but even greater is the feeling when you show your film to the world...and that's the biggest Oscar.

What's the best compliment you've received in your sixty years of career?

It has to come from my fans. They say that I inspire them as I have a very optimistic approach towards life. I am full of zest, energy, and passion.

Which of the current actor's work do you admire the most?

Again, I will not single out anybody. The mere fact that the actor is a Star, Badshah or a King proves that the actor has something in him or her which people admire.

Any recent film which you have loved watching?

I see all the films of my contemporaries as it gives me motivation to do something better. It's good to see how these young minds are coming together and making a hit film in today's unpredictable times. The only film, which I can remember seeing, is the Munnabhai MBBS starring Sanjay Dutt. I was invited by Raj Kumar Hirani to see the film before its release. I liked the film.

What food do you choose to eat when you are in London?

I am a vegetarian, except, I do not mind eating good chicken. I like to have continental and Italian dishes too and sometimes you get good and tasty Indian food in London than in India.

There are many actors who are not so approachable in today's time. How approachable are you?

I have to remember that my fans are the ones who have brought me here today where I am. If it pleases them, I will do anything for them. If my presence makes them happy, then I will even go and meet them at their house.

India in your era was different. What has changed India?

India has never changed; it has always grown from strength to strength. I love my country India but that does not mean that I go on beating the drum about my patriotic feeling. India is growing and I am proud of it. There are great young brains today in India, as good as anywhere else and they are going to beat the world. Even in films, there are new scriptwriters, new directors, new technicians, etc. It is a very healthy sign.

What is that one thing you cannot live without?

I cannot live without my films, my cinema, and my work. For me, until I die, movie making and acting will always be my first and last love.

How would you sum up your book ˜Romancing with Life'?

˜Romancing with Life' is a very positive book. It is I...Dev Anand, its ongoing and it is definitely not all of me yet. There are many things, which are not mentioned in the book because of space. Your evergreen Dev Anand will come again with greater gusto with an even bigger and better something.

HARE RAMA HARE KRISHNA

Dev Anand and Zeenat Aman are siblings who are parted when their parents divorce. The two grow up apart from each other and Zeenat Aman believes her brother to be dead. Dev Anand a pilot comes to know that Zeenat has run away from home and joined up with drug addict hippies. In search of her hereaches Nepal where he finds her. She however refuses to recognise him. Dev Anand meets and falls in love with Mumtaz a local belle. Mumtaz however is kept in the dark about the fact that Zeenat is Dev Anand's sister so she cannot understand Dev's obsession with Zeenat. Dev Anand and Mumtaz get married. Dev Anand tries hard to get his sister out of the cult. When she realises that he is her long lost brother she can't face up to her past and commits suicide.

HARE RAMA HARE KRISHNA

Hare Rama Hare Krishna - Dum Maro Dum

It was Zeenat Aman who got all the kudos and
awards and Asha?s "Dum maro dum". Hard to believe, but
Dev Anand rejected the song when R.D. Burman played it
to him. R.D. pleaded with the filmmaker to retain at
least one stanza in the film. "Dum maro dum" shook two
continents. It became a rage even in the U.K., though
the purists accused Asha Bhosle of defiling the Hindu
religion. Today, the film?s main claim to fame is
Zeenat and "Dum maro dum".

ANOTHER SCENE FROM DEV ANAND'S HRHK:

HRHK: A REVIEW:


Hashish smoke slowly wafts through the air as a raggedy bunch of youths take long hits from their pipes when suddenly a "shush" breaks through the chatter and sharp guitar notes start up and a fuzzy bass line follows like an avenging shadow. Chills ran up my body as Zeenat Aman (well, Asha Bhosle really) hypnotically intones "Dum Maro Dum" (take another puff) and stands up and begins to dance with a look of ecstasy on her face – partly fuelled by the intake of drugs and partly by the bass beat driving through her head. In the short two minute running time a legend was born and a song was burnt into the collective memory of a nation. Strongly resembling a young more voluptuous Ali McGraw, Zeenie Baby (as she was to be called) broke down all preconceptions of an Indian heroine as well as managing to break the hearts of the movie going audience with her portrayal of a drug addicted lost soul looking for some meaning in life.

VIDEO: DEV ANAND: Phoolon Ka Taaron Ka

The score from the legendary R.D. Burman is considered one of his best. It has two classic songs – both picturized by Zeenat – the aforementioned Dum Maro Dum and the equally drug induced Pyaar Kushi Ka Ghaam (with the English line "Can we go a little faster man"). In total there are six songs – all strong and the final tune – Phoolon Ka Taron Ki – is a lovely ballad that Dev sings and that Zeenat recognizes from childhood through her daze as a song her brother use to sing to her – it makes for a touching and sad scene.

This one was so sad it evokes some tears.

BOLLYWOOD SCREEN LEGEND: DEV ANAND:

An excellent thriller of all time. Vijay Anand excels as Director and Editor. Performances by Dev Anand, Vyjayantimala, Tanuja and Ashok Kumar prove to be an asset to the film which has its screenplay worked out to the minutest detail. Cinematography adds to the mystery, glamour and other requirements of the story as it evolves. And to top it all, music by Sachin Dev Burman is unforgettable. "Yeh dil na hota bechara" by Kishore Kumar, "Raat akeli hai" by Asha Bhosle, "Rula ke gaya sapna mera" by Lata, "Aasman ke niche" by Lata and Rafi and "Hothon pe aisi baat main" by Lata, again reaffirm Burman Dada's unique stature as a top notch composer with a style of his own.

.

A visibly agitated Ashok Kumar booms at Dev Anand: 'Remove your socks and I can prove you are Amar, and not Vinay as you claim. You have a sixth finger on your right foot.'

Dev Anand smirks, 'I would have complied, but I am afraid my socks could be torn.'

Ashok Kumar is visibly unamused. A chorus of sceptical voices, including those of Vyjayanthimala and Tanuja, insists that Dev resolve the mystery.

Outnumbered, Dev reluctantly obliges. Tension mounts as the camera affords us a close-up of his feet. Dev slowly peels off his socks and teasingly, he places his left foot on the table supporting his outstretched legs before crossing it with his right foot. There is no extra digit. Playfully, he twiddles his toe to mock a gaping Ashok Kumar.

Just one of the many gems from the necklace of adrenaline rushes and shocks that Vijay Anand's piece de resistance offers.

Both James Bond and Agatha Christie would probably have approved of Jewel Thief.

BOLLYWOOD SCREEN LEGEND: DEV ANAND:

REVIEW OF JEWEL THIEF: continues..

This musical heist film -- it is another indication of its ingenious mix of genres -- is not only strewn with more red herrings than landmines in a battle zone; but also brags of a bevy of semi-clad Bond-like babes (Helen, Faryal, Anju Mahendru) flitting around a debonair Dev.

Director Vijay Anand is known for his stylish, perceptive camera framings and you are on a joy ride from the film's credits itself. An unidentified man passes a bejeweled mannequin. When he moves away, the mannequin's neck is bare and a short raucous laugh fills the background.

Indeed, who is the jewel thief? Is it Vinay (Dev Anand), an employee of a reputed jewellery shop and the police commissioner's son, or is it his look-alike, Amar?

We are initially shown Vinay flirting with a jeweler's daughter Anjali (Tanuja), to land a job with her father. His ploy works though the not-so-coy Anjali sticks to him like a leech.

At Anjali's birthday party, a gorgeous stranger Shalini (Vyjayanthimala) wraps herself around Vinay, calls him Amar and claims to be his fiancée. Vinay disproves her, but is shaken and stirred by her extravagant grief. Shalini says she lives with her brother (Ashok Kumar) and a chivalrous Vinay gets inveigled into finding Amar who, he is told, is a
famous jewel thief.

In quick succession, a cabaret cutie (Helen), a bejeweled and bewigged, dancer (Faryal), and a libertine (Anju Majendru), who likes to hide behind dark glasses and sunbathe on the lawns of a swimming pool, all mistake Vinay for the amorous Amar.

This raises the film's noir appeal to a degree where we are compelled to ask, 'Will somebody throw a torch on what's happening, please?'

Vinay reciprocates only Shalini's love though he does spend a night with the cabaret cutie. There is a veiled suggestion that they go to bed, a surprise for Hindi films of its time. But the dalliances with the dames are cursory. The emphasis is on Vinay's search for the elusive jewel thief.

The climax is set in gorgeous Gangtok and culminates in a plot to rob the king's jewels.
.

BOLLYWOOD SCREEN LEGEND: DEV ANAND:

REVIEW OF JEWEL THIEF: continues..

The film has a shock ending of The Sixth Sense brand. Even 34 years later, I don't want to reveal the end and spoil the fun for first-time viewers.

Vijay Anand, an acknowledged auteur after Guide (1965), manages a sleight of hand with this taut thriller.
Don't expect any depth or ponderous insights. Look for slickness and imaginatively conceived shots, some
tension-packed, others purely visually appealing.

The camera peers through wooden slats, carpet holes and intricately carved wall dividers to achieve the desired effect of intrigue.

The song sequences are ambrosia. Choreographer Sohanlal outdoes himself in the titillating teaser, Raat akeli hai picturised with élan on the full-of-beans Tanuja. A latter-day attempt by Tanuja's daughter Kajol to wriggle her hips like her mother (Yeh Dillagi), seems like a scribble imitation of a calligrapher's writing.

The climactic number, Hothon pe aisi baat, showcases Vyjayanthimala's grace as (despite complex dance movements and camera placements), she famously glides through an entire stanza of the song in one single shot.

Ashok Kumar concedes to the demand of his character and is exaggeratedly dramatic. If one were to rank the curvaceous beauties on parade, Tanuja puts the others under her (eye) shadow. The pecking order that follows is Helen, Anju and Faryal.

But it is Dev Anand with his feckless schoolboy grin and boundless energy who is the Kohinoor of the show.

Under a jeweler's microscope you can spot a few blemishes (stretching our willingness to suspend disbelief), but in today's world of imitation jewelery, Jewel Thief is still studded in 24-carat gold.

Vijay Anand's stylish 1967 classic stars a suave Dev Anand as Vinay, an ordinary young man who finds himself constantly mistaken for a look-alike jewel thief named Amar. Vinay works with the police to impersonate Amar and crack his crime ring--but it seems that Amar has decided to impersonate Vinay, as well, and soon their true identities are thoroughly muddled.

My dream reduced me to tears
baiti hun kab ho savera
I am sitting and waiting for the morning
Rula ke gaya sapna mera
My dream reduced me to tears

(Wohi hein ghamein dil, wohi hain chanda tare
The saddened heart, the moon and the stars are the same
hai, wohi ham besahare) 2
ohhh, here I am still helpless
aadhi raat wohi hai, aur har baat wohi hai
again it is the midnight, infact everything is the same as before
phir bhi naa aaya lutera
except that my lover is not here
rula ke gaya sapana mera
My dream reduced me to tears
baiti hun kab ho savera
I am sitting and waiting for the morning
Rula ke gaya sapna mera
My dream reduced me to tears

(kaisi yeh zindgi, ke sanso se ham ube
what kind of life is this that I am tired of breathing
ke dil duba ham dube)2
as my heart sinks so do I
ek dukhiya bechari, is jeevan se haari
this poor saddened women is tired of this life as it is
us par yeh gam ka andhera
and over top of that to be overshadowed by dark cloud of sadness
rula ke gaya sapna mera
My dream reduced me to tears
baiti hun kab ho savera
I am sitting and waiting for the morning
Rula ke gaya sapna mera
My dream reduced me to tears
