DARED TO BARE: ZEENIE AMAN:


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.

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".

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"

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 Ka – 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.

Synopsis:

Shankar (Dharmendra), Vijay (Vijay Arora), and Ratan (Tariq) are three brothers. On their father's birthday, their mother taught them a song titled "Yaadon Ki Baaraat" which they held dearly to their hearts. As fate has it, one day, the boys' father witnessed a robbery by Shakaal (Ajit), and his henchmen. To protect their identity, Shakal decided to kill the boys' father before he could go to the police. So, Shakaal and his men storm into the boys' father's room and kill both their mother and father. Shankar and Vijay witness the act and flee. They make their way to a passing train, where Shankar is separated from Vijay.
Several years pass by and the boys have grown up. Shankar is haunted by the memory of his parent's murder and is now joined by his friend Usman on a crime spree around the city. Vijay was adopted by a fairly wealthy man who is the groundskeeper to the love of his life, Sunita (Zeenat Aman) & Ratan, was raised by the boys' maid, and changed his name to Monto. With his new identity, Monto started a band and does gigs at hotels for a living. It is interesting to see the events that lead to the brothers reuniting and fighting their father’s murderer.

NB Nasir Husain had wanted to cast his regular actress Asha Parekh, but she was busy dancing abroad, so he gave the role to Zeenat Aman fresh off from Hare Rama Hare Krishna.

Yaadon Ki Baraat went on to become a super hit, and now with two crowd puller under her belt, Zeenie were riding on nine clouds.

After Yaadon Ki Baraat, Zeenat Aman went on to give us "Dhund" (The Fog) in 1973. This one was not a hit per se, the film had a good run, and yet another plus for Zeenie.


Chandrashekhar's car breaks down in the middle of the night amidst a thick fog in the country-side. Taking his flashlight, he approaches a nearby house, and knocks on the door. Upon getting no answer, he finds that the door is open. Once inside, he observes a male seated in a chair and asks his permission to use the telephone. When he gets no response, he gently nudges this male, and the body falls down. Chandrashekhar goes over to the telephone to phone the police, and it is then that he sees a young, beautiful woman with a gun in her hand. He is attracted to this woman, though he knows that she killed this male. The woman identifies herself as Rani, the wife of the dead man, and admits to killing him due to his abuse and atrocities. Chandrashekhar feels protective towards this widow, and together they concoct a tale to fool the police, and create a description of a ficticious robbery suspect, without realizing that the person they described is real, and has been arrested for this homicide. It is then the police and the prosecution realize that there is more to this homicide than they imagined.
