Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962)

[bollywoodirect]

Remembering #AbrarAlvi, the illustrious screenwriter and dialogue writer in Hindi films, on his 14th death anniversary (18/11/09).

He was a key member of Guru Dutt's team and known for writing films like "Aar-Paar," "Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam," "Kaagaz Ke Phool," "Pyaasa," and "Mr. & Mrs. '55." In 1953, while on the set of "Baaz," he met Guru Dutt. Dutt was struggling with a scene, and he offered a suggestion that impressed Dutt so much that he asked him to write "Aar-Paar." This led to him becoming a vital part of Dutt's team.

The films he worked on with Dutt are now considered classics worldwide. He also directed the successful movie "Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam." He appeared in a touching three-part documentary about Guru Dutt, reflecting on their work together. This documentary was made by Channel 4 and is included in the DVD extras for "Kaagaz Ke Phool" and "Chaudhvin ka Chand."

After working with Guru Dutt and a controversy over who really directed "Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam," he found it hard to make a mark as a director. But he continued to write screenplays and dialogues for many films, some of which were big hits, like "Professor," "Prince," and "Suraj." He also worked with Rajesh Khanna, writing for "Janta Hawaldar" and doing the screenplay and dialogues for "Begunaah."

INDIES TOP 136 FILMS OF SOUTH ASIAN CINEMA’S 2 GREATEST ACTRESSES - MEENA KUMARI (77 FILMS) & SUCHITRA SEN (59 FILMS) !

A separate Indie playlist, to honour the 2 most popular, highest acclaimed, & widely regarded greatest of all actresses, of the entire Indian & South Asian diaspora – Meena Kumari & Suchitra Sen ! 2 very different actresses in style & school, yet that imbibed the same core depth & ability to penetrate audience imagination & leave them blessed with new vibrant spirit & higher ethos, & even greater admiration for the feminine energy in art. That combined with their eclectic body of work encompassing, one imagines an entire spectrum of female art & life in society at it’s very finest. And even where Hindi audiences at Indies may’ve had a fair taste of Meena jis’s work already, from the various decades lists on Indies Yt page, a great time to view it all in never-before singular artist-based perspective, as well as get enlightened on, in Indie reckoning, the 2nd greatest screen-pair of Indian cinema, Uttam Kumar & Suchitra Sen, the eternal royalty of Bangla cinema for no lesser than 3/4th century, a screen-pair that single-handedly redefined Bangla cinema & raised it to the highest respect & hysterical adulation back in 1950s & 1960s, amassing a veritable treasure house of ‘soul cinema’, a diamond era in Bengali motion art, that saw them competing for highest accolades with no lesser than Satyajit Ray’s brand of ‘life-defining movies’, a divine screen-pairing with Uttam that btw forms nearly 3/4th of Suchitra ji’s life work too. Watch the greatest, in their finest!

Remembering Guru Dutt on his 96th birth anniversary:

The esteemed director, producer and actor put forth many films now considered cult classics such as Pyaasa (1957), Kaghaz ke Phool (1959) and Sahib Bibi aur Ghulam (1962).

Since I am more ept to talk about music, let me do so: the pairing of heroines with Guru Dutt and Geeta Roy's magical voice brought us timeless classics such as Mohabbat Kar Lo and Yeh Lo Main (Aar Paar), Hum Aap Ki Aankhon Mein, Jane Kya Tune and the later-cancelled Rut Phire Par Din (Pyaasa), and of course, Waqt Ne Kiya (Kaaghaz ke Phool). The producer-singer duo also gave us gems like Na Jao Saiyyan and Piya Aiso Jiya Mein (Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam).

Chaudhvin ka Chand (1960) popularly called an ode to Waheeda Rehman's beauty boasts of having perhaps the most romantic song of Indian cinema by the same name. Here are some of the absolutely dazzling lyrics by Shakeel Badayuni, sung in Mohammed Rafi's dreamy voice:

Chaudhvin ka chand ho / Are you the full moon

Ya aftaab ho / Or the sun?

Jo bhi ho / Whatever you may be

Tum khuda ki qasam / I swear to God

Lajawab ho / You are beyond compare

Jaan-e-bahaar tum kisi shaair ka khwaab ho / My everyoung love, you are the dream of a poet

An interesting fact to note is that Guru Dutt participated in the picturization of his songs. The ingenuity of Waqt Ne Kiya’s haunting music video is largely credited to him.

Strangely enough, while his films had had more focus than ever before on female characters, he never extended that mindset to his own life. Something to wonder about.
