Jubilee
First thing first, Jubilee shows you the realism of the Bombay talkies era with an interval by building huge and royal studios, cinema reels, crew chairs, hand painted posters, an ambitious producer with business acumen, smoking pipe, outfits, and so much more. The series in itself is quite symbolic for the purpose of depicting the golden era. Yes, I call it a golden era. I read the show is pretty much inspired by the life of Himanshu Rai and Devika Rani. Let’s kickstart.
Praise worthy angles from the entire series that are responsible for the story:
Blazing journeys of 5 characters Roy, Binod, Jay, Niloufer, Walia
The unparalleled fate of 2 studios Khanna studio and Roy studio
The transformations, transitions, and evolving cinema with a blend of crime, love, conspiracy and fame.
Beginning, Rise and Fall
It is commendable to see how the makers combined the most essential attributes of the black and white cinema - Dialogues, Music, Drama and great frames.
The 3 compelling dialogues that summarize Cinema which are crafted beautifully in the film with the scene,
'Power is within this weapon of cinema.'
'Cinema can raise a level by giving the audience a taste of poetry, photography, music and aspirations.'
'Cinema can empower people.'
Let us put the stars on the shoulders of the team. Vikramaditya Motawane, Atul Sabharwal and Soumik Sen are the names. I should say, a gorgeous job on the series by all the teams.
Supposedly it has to be one of the most expensive projects as it costs a fortune to build a city entirely. Especially a city which used to look a certain way but not any more. It is bound to attract criticism, comparisons and judgements. Hence applause for the art department.
Moving to the title, Jubilee. Good one. The word Jubilee was significant in the non-bollywood era. It marked a big success of the film if it reaches Jubilee unlike the crore club where films are less than 2 stars but box office is 200 cr.
Vikramaditya Motawane has created a web series that is uncommon among current subjects. Lots of makers tried to recreate the golden era but most of them went unnoticed. I am fond of Khoya Khoya Chand for the infamous vintage era. However, reaching everybody through OTT through Jubilee with a 10 episode series of 50 minutes is a master thought. That breathing space to judge the success with an olden times ‘interval’ but of a week is outstanding. However, such a big risk.
Mentioning positives of the show to move with. It has a decent Star cast that is not very glittering and glam. Subtle and real. When you cut on the star factor you can actually see through the show and its potential. So I liked the cast to portray that era. Apararshakti Khurana as one of the leads is huge. Names to mention: Wamiqa Gabbi and Prosenjit Chatterjee. I am all praises for Wamiqa Gabbi. Simply Wow. She is a complete package of dance, acting, nakharas, ada and reality. An actress who very clearly takes you to the era of queens like Waheeda Rehman, Mala Sinha, Nutan and the list goes on. She does not imitate anybody. Prosenjit Chatterjee, an innovative and ahead of his time producer who wants to make a mark but probably wishes to stick to what sells on screen with a traditional cinema perspective. The curiosity that both Roy and Niloufer go on building in their own way is really good. Sidhant Gupta’s energy matches the character’s but his acting felt an over-do at times. But when he walks as a star is one act you can’t miss but notice. It shows a mix of stardom and simplicity. Great work there. He is the Guru Dutt effect as a one man show with actor-director qualities. Aditi Rao Hydari is just being herself, a beauty. Ram Kapoor, Shweta Basu are names known for good acting just like that. All the supporting actors have done a celebrated job in their roles. Amazing to watch Arun Govil in a web series. The casting decisions are appreciable. The character Govil plays as a calm father is peaceful for the eyes and ears.
Music is magnificent. Thanks to Amit Trivedi for giving one more album that can be put on loop. The compositions of jubilee prove that even today a melody is possible with sensible ‘Hindi’ lyrics which are louder than the music and each word, chord and instrument is heard and worth a praise. Kudos to Amit Trivedi and Kausar Munir for creating songs that calm people like us can humm. My personal favourites are Voh Tere Mere Ishq, Dariyacha Raja, Na Koi Mera and Saare Ke Saare Akele. Rest you would not like to skip as well. It has the sound of the period it belongs to. The lyrics bear to our usual spoken Hindi language - simple and understood. I can’t put this more straight. Those days were about melody and dialogues that hit the audience.
Dialogues as expected are filled with drama and conviction.
Favourite frame from the series is Jay and Nilo sitting on the road drenched in the rain in front of a theatre under the poster of Baiju Awara. Splendid! You do not have to show intimacy by stripping down and making love. Sometimes it's just the way you sketch love on screen. Quite a romantic frame. Other Mesmerizing frames:
Binod first in front of the fire that also marks the end frame of Roy in front of fire.
Sumitra sitting in front of the mirror in the train.
Roy, sitting in his private screening theatre, calls the man to project the reel.
Jay Khanna in his own studio on the first day against the Taxi cut out.
The last shot of Roy studio with lights dimming symbolizing the fall.
Jay Khanna’s cabin with Taxi Driver Poster of Jay and Nilo.
And the favourite of many, the RK inspired Jay and Niloufer umbrella scene.
I am glad to see one series with no skin show, no kissing at every alternate shot and most importantly close to no violence. Every other show today is either lust or violence with litres of blood flowing. This series is like detox.
Some curiosity creeps in. Was Phone tapping really a thing? Would the show not be as captivating as it was if tapping was not a part of the show? Mysterious.
Coming to an end resembles a Guru Dutt film with a song like Dekhi Zamane ki Yaari. Saare ke Saare Akele went on flipping pages and how heartbreaking every page was!
Looking at Jubilee overall,
What’s remarkable is the tragic ending given to all the characters like most of the yesteryear actors saw. It is not a fictitious act of drama. We have heard stories where either people disappeared from the industry or their demise was not a very pleasant one or some love stories were not as happy as their film’s or their stardom just vanished with a flop. I admire the way fiction was weaved with the inside stories from the film industry. But across 10 episodes we saw a lot of screen time invested in long pauses. Not sure why the typical fame was not shown like ordinary fans gathering around Madan or crowds at the red carpets of premieres. No premieres at all actually. But the pre-independence period, partition and its effect on the cinema industry was precisely connected. The makers very smartly keep awards at bay as filmfare started in 1954 and this story wraps up by 1953. Also, the details that were very well shown were salaried crew, technicians and even actors associated with the studio, the refugee camps, international interventions and the editing on negatives of the reel. What is incredible to see is the grey shade every character gets with situations. It's meticulous writing.
All the characters had a closure but I wonder what happened to Shamsher Walia.
I was waiting for the last ‘The End’ or ‘समाप्त’ after we saw Interval post the 1st batch of 5 episodes. But that did not come. Another season in making? Giving benefit of doubt as the glorious era of cinema has just started in Jubilee. But I must say first is the only first. What follows is to piggyback on the popularity of last success. It loses its charm. I hope the makers continue the legacy if they plan seasons.
To end this I would say Jubilee gives you the pictorial version of the tales and accounts narrated by the legends and insiders. I will not deny that the series seems stretched or sluggish at times but I think establishing the actors and an entire past generation will take its own time.
Jubilee is a must watch for people who believe in the essence of cinema and Hindi film industry of yesterday. It is for obsessed film lovers who have not yet fallen prey to Bollywood’s faux stardom.

पहले से पावरफुल हुए फिल्मों के पीआर... प्रोवाइडर से कैसे बन गए डिसाइडर
-अजय ब्रह्मात्मज 21वीं सदी में फिल्में कला माध्यम से अधिक कारोबार हो चुकी हैं। नए-पुराने सभी फिल्मकार फिल्म बनाने से पहले यह तय करते हैं कि उसके दर्शक कौन होंगे और उसकी ‘पोजीशनिंग’ क्या होगी? इसके साथ ही उसकी मार्केटिंग और पीआर का काम शुरू हो जाता है। इस सदी में पीआर बहुत फैल गया है। कोशिश रहती है कि हर युक्ति से दर्शकों को रिझाया जाए। उन्हें पहले दिन सिनेमाघरों में आने के लिए उद्दीप्त किया जाए।…

The rash of remakes of south Indian movies by the Bombay industry
For more than a year, the Hindi film industry is unspooling a popular concept of computer science on the screen: garbage in, garbage out. Bachchhan Paandey, Jersey, Cuttputli, Hit, Vikram Vedha, Mili, Drishyam-2, Cirkus, Selfiee, Shehzada, Bholaa, Gumraah, and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan — there has been a glut of remakes of South Indian masala. A few of these such as Drishyam-2, Jersey, and Vikram…

अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य- सिने जगत के जादूगर
"बरामदे पुराने हैं, नयी-सी धूप है" जैसा सुकून से भरपूर गीत लिख लोगों को ताज़गी प्रदान करना हो या "चन्ना मेरेया-मेरेया" लिखकर लोगों को भावुक करना या "अभी मुझ में कहीं..बाकी थोड़ी सी है ज़िन्दगी" लिखकर जीने की प्रेरणा देना या फिर " एक बार ह�� किया तो यारो, प्यार क्या किया" पर लोगों को झुमाना। यह कलमकार हर तरह के भाव को अपने शब्दों से जीवंत करने में माहिर हैं। इस कलमकार को अपनी कलम से जादू बिखेरना का आशीर्वाद प्राप्त है । अगर आप अब भी अंदाजा नहीं लगा पाएं हैं कि हम यहाँ किस की बात कर रहे हैं, तो हम आपको बता दें , बात हो रही है-भारतीय लिरिसिस्ट और गीतकार अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य की। जी, हाँ ये वही शख्सियत है जिनके गाने आपकी जुबां पर चढ़े रहते हैं और जिनके गाने आपकी प्लेलिस्ट में कब्ज़ा किए रहते हैं । लेकिन क्या आप इस गीतकार से परिचित हैं ? आज इस आर्टिकल में हम आपको बॉलीवुड की इसी प्रतिभावान शख्सियत से रूबरू कराएँगे। आइये शुरू करते हैं।
शुरुआती जीवन
अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य का जन्म 16 नवम्बर, 1976 लखनऊ, उत्तर प्रदेश में हुआ। वह बंगाली परिवेश से ताल्लुख़ रखते हैं। अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य का बचपन लखनऊ में बीता तथा उन्होंने अपनी प्रारंभिक शिक्षा वहीं से प्राप्त की। फिर लखनऊ विश्विद्यालय से 1999 में स्नातक किया। बचपन से ही भट्टाचार्य एक सिंगर बनने का सपना देखते थे। इसी के चलते 1999 में स्नातक पूरी हो जाने के बाद अपने सपने को मूर्त रूप देने के लिए लखनऊ छोड़कर मुंबई आ गए। 2013 में टाइम्स ऑफ़ इंडिया को दिए अपने एक इंटरव्यू में अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य ने बताया कि 'वह 1999 में मुंबई आने के बाद बड़े-बड़े संगीतकारों के ऑफिस के बाहर लम्बी कतारों में खड़े रहते थे और उन्हें अपनी "डेमो कैसेट" देते थे लेकिन इसका कोई फायदा उन्हें नहीं हुआ'। अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य ने अपने संघर्ष के दिनों में काम ना मिलने और काम ना मिलने के अवस��द से बचने के लिए कई एड्स जिंगल्स लिखे । बतौर भट्टाचार्य एड्स के लिए जिंगल्स लिखते- लिखते ही उन्होंने गाने लिखने की कला सीखी ।
कब मिला अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य को ब्रेक?
1999 से लगातर संघर्ष करने के बाद 2009 में अनुराग कश्यप की फिल्म "देव डी" से अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य को ब्रेक मिला। इस फिल्म में उनके काम को लोगों और क्रटिक्स द्वारा खूब सरहाया गया। बात 2004 की है जब उनके एक दोस्त ने अमि���ाभ भट्टाचार्य की मुलाकात म्यूजिक डायरेक्टर अमित त्रिवेदी से कराई। उस समय अमित त्रिवेदी टेलेविज़न के लिए संगीत बनाया करते थे। उस दौरान अमित त्रिवेदी ने अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य को बतौर डमी सिंगर रख लिया और उनसे कुछ लिरिक्स लिखने को कहा। अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य ने कहे अनुसार लिरिक्स लिखे। अमिताभ के लिरिक्स अमित त्रिवेद्वी को बेहद पसंद आए। कह सकते है कि तभी से अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य की संघर्ष के दिन ढ़ल तथा जौहरी ने हीरे को पहचान लिया। परन्तु औपचारिक तौर पर वर्ष 2009 में अनुराग कश्यप की फिल्म "देव डी" के लिए लिखे गाने "इमोशनल अत्याचार" से उन्हें सिने जगत में पहचान मिली और फिर उनकी किस्मत का सिक्का चल पड़ा।
youtube
अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य से जुड़ी अनकही बातें
आज के जाने-माने और मशहूर लिरिसिस्ट अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य अपने शुरुआती दौर में गाने "इंदरनील" के नाम से लिखा करते थे। अब वे ऐसा क्यों करते थे? इसका जवाब केवल वही जानते हैं।
एक इंटरव्यू में अमिताभ ने कहा था कि वे किसी धुन पर लिरिक्स लिखना अधिक पसंद करते हैं क्योंकि इससे उनका दिमाग 10 गुना ज़्यादा तेज़ी से काम करता है।
गीतकार और संगीतकार अमित त्रिवेदी अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य के खास मित्र हैं।
अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य को अपना पहला फिल्म फेयर अवार्ड 2012 में आई फिल्म "अग्निपथ"के लिए लिखे गाने "अभी मुझ में कहीं के लिए" मिला।
अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य को अपने करियर में सबसे ज़्यादा अवार्ड 2020 में आई फिल्म "ऐ दिल है मुश्किल" के लिखे गाने "चन्ना मेरेया" के लिए पूरे 9 अवार्ड्स मिले हैं।
अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य शब्दों के जादूगर। हालंकि अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य आए यहाँ सिंगर बने थे लेकिन उन्होंने बॉलीवुड में बेहद कम गाने गए। शायद अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य अपने अंदर की प्रतिभा पहचान चुके हैं और इसलिए वे अब लिरिसिस्ट के तौर पर काम कर रहे हैं। अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य द्वारा लिखे गानों में अलग ही रोचकता है, रस है। उनके गाने ऐसे लगते हैं मानो कोई कविता हो। उन्हीं के लिखे गानों को हम आपके साथ यहाँ साझा कर रहे हैं। पढ़िए और आंनद लीजिए।
