Set against the Muslim community of an idyllic West Bengal village, Saudagar focuses on a lanky Bachchan playing a patali gur (palm jaggery) trader named Motalef aka Moti. Saudagar is a modest reminder of his accomplishments (and versatility) before that.Īn underrated offering from veteran art director-turned-filmmaker Sudhendu Roy, the 1973 parable is a faithful adaptation of acclaimed Bengali writer Narendranath Mitra’s short story, Rus. Somewhere in this grand scheme, Bachchan became too infallible, too mega, too predictable. Every single role showcases a distinct facet of his personality yet it was the angry, avenging cop of Zanjeer that paved the path for a remarkably flourishing career. In 1973, Amitabh Bachchan had six releases: Bandhe Haath, Gehri Chaal, Abhimaan, Namak Haraam, Saudagar and Zanjeer. Image: Nutan and Amitabh Bachchan in Saudagar.

The elbowing to get to the seat (it wasn’t free seating like at the film fest), the initial groans because the seat in row one really gives you a crick in your neck, followed by relief because you can stretch your legs!Īnd yes, my last question to storytellers everywhere: Why are we not making movies where we have scenes where we make Bindu - the eternal seductress - sitting in an audience realising that she is witnessing real love and real regret.Gemini Easy 3 Remote Control Manual more. The rains had stopped and I realised I had experienced the madness that moviegoers must have experienced when they watched these films in the theatre at some time. It was good to see that a film made in 1976 (I was too young to be allowed to get into a movie theatre back then) was still generating a discussion that included a comment: It wasn’t like they had married for love… If I had to choose duty or love, I would choose love, wouldn’t you? Jaya Bhaduri and Amitabh Bachchan in a still from Abhimaan (1973)Īfter watching Kabhie Kabhie on the big screen, I should have just gone home, but then the weather Gods were bawling at the possibilities in love that the movie suggested. My coffee was diluted with tears, and I shared a table with some young man who was also brooding after the film, because heartbreaks can sneak up on you unbeknownst. 'Why are women shown to suffer so much in these old movies?' 'I hate such regressive ' pativrata nari' type roles made for women!'

'How did Sanjeev Kumar not get a larger role?' After all, I’d had a never-ending conversation with the customer-service guys not long before and fought my way into the theatre. 'Only an AB fan will share!' was their comment, and I kept quiet from endorsing such a view. Thankfully, they, too, were crying into their popcorn and had not noticed this act, however, they were surprised when I bought one and offered it to them. I had put my hand into my neighbour’s samosa pack and had stuffed my face to stifle my emotions from escaping out of my mouth as a sound.

I realised that I was not the only sobbing silently when watching the film unfold in front of me. That one movie which explored a theme that is still relevant today: If both husband and wife are in the same business, and the wife turns out to be more successful, who should step back? I also realised that everyone in the audience was doing the same. And as they say in Hindi, ' Dil became garden garden!' to watch this comedy, in which Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra perform the magical Saregama masarega, gasarema, magaresa while twinning! I laughed out loudly as Sharmila Tagore does in the film. That said, I elbowed my way into the hall and watched Chupke Chupke (1975) on the big screen.
