KMPL’s MAIDEN TELESERIAL VENTURE SUPER HIT T. V. SERIAL FOR DOORDARSHAN

KMPL contemplated to make its mark in the world of make believe by launching a set of Television Serials, Motion Pictures and Music Albums for the Indian as well as international markets. KMPL’s maiden venture was a TV serial titled “BIKHRI AAS NIKHRI PREET” which was aired at 9 PM every Sunday on Doordarshan – DD1/National, since 27th Apr. 2008 with bumper response. Based on a classic Hindi Novel (Vyavdhaan) penned by Late Smt. Shanti Kumari Bajpai (erstwhile Hindi Professor from Banaras Hindu University). This super-hit serial directed by Lekh Tandon with music by Khayyam enjoyed huge countywide popularity. It has since then had numerous repeat telecasts on popular demand.

With this unique path breaking Serial, amidst all the tawdry, glitter, glamour and sensationalism of the tedious most exhausting Saas-Bahu genre, KMPL had endeavored in its own modest way to bring back the glory of the golden period of Teleserials – the era of “Humlog”, “Buniyad”, “Farmaan” and “Phir Wohi Talash” etc. This television series was based on the celebrated Hindi novel “Vyavdhaan” penned by the late Smt Shanti Kumari Bajpai, (an erstwhile Professor of Hindi in Banaras Hindu University) which published in the year 1963 received rave reviews and was heralded as a literary classic. The serial was a family social mounted on a truly ambitious scale of a magnum opus.

It was an exclusive and sentimental project – an emotional saga epitomizing boundless love and unfathomable devotion exuded by true to life and down to earth real characters ably portrayed by handpicked talent. The serial embodies a message which was pure and simple – “In duty bound renunciation lies the beauty of life and connectivity to God.” The serial encapsulates on celluloid the rare cultural values, dignity of emotions, sense of renunciation and immaculate morality exhibited by the principal characters in the unfolding story line replete with captivating dramatic content. The episodes exposed viewers to real life drama enacted by credible, down to earth, identifiable and lovable characters. The Series adopts the novel’s own subtitle “Bikhri Aas Nikhri Preet” as its titular emblem.


KMPL had entrusted the direction of this prestigious venture to the renowned film / television Director Lekh Tandon, a veteran of 27 films including “Professor”, “Amrapali”, Jhuk Gaya Aasmaan”, “Prince”, “Jahan Pyar Milay”, “Andolan”, “Dulhan Wohi Jo Piya Man Bhaaye”, “Ek Baar Phir”, “Sharda”, “Agar Tum Na Hote”, “Khuda Kasam” and “Doosri Dulhan” etc. and 18 T.V. Serials viz. “Farmaan”, “Phir Wohi Talash”, “Daraar”, “Adhikar”, “Kahan se Kahan Tak”, “Milan”, “Aisa Des Hai Mera” etc., just to name a few.

Celebrated emeritus Composer Khayyam had composed the musical score of “Bikhri Aas Nikhri Preet”, tuning lyrics of Naqsh Lyallpuri, Maya Govind and Ahmed Wasi which had been sung by Jaspinder Narula, Alka Yagnik, Roop Kumar Rathore, Madhushree, Kanika Bajpai and Mohammad Vakil.

AVANT GARDE MOTION PICTURE

Singularly the most hotly debated topical subject in current times in India is the issue of “Triple Talaq” which features in social and media circles regularly ---- a tidal wave of public opinion which refuses to ebb. Much before the “Triple Talaq” became the flavour of drawing room gossip and the street corner chats “Chai peCharcha”, Octogenarian veteran Director LekhTandon(“Professor”, “Amrapali”, “Jhuk Gaya Asmaan”, “JahanPyar Mile”, “DulhanWohi Jo Piya Man Bhaye”, “Prince”, “Agar Tum Na Hote”, “EkBaarKaho”, “Andolan”, “Sharda”, “DoosriDulhan” “KhudaKasam” and “Mil GayiManzilMujhe”etc. and numerous tele-serials fame) had toyed with the idea of making an avant-gardemotion picture on the subject and launchedthe film in the name and style of “PhirUssi Mod Par (Back to Square One)”.The uniqueness of the subject so captivated the veteran Director that he not only completed the script in record time but also commenced shooting at a break-neck speed in association with KanikaMultiscopePvt. Ltd. (KMPL) and completed the film in a record time of six months.

The film is now been released by producers Trinetra / Kanika / AnshulaBajpai under the auspices of their banner KanikaMultiscope. The Producers are well-known names in their respective fields – TrinetraBajpai is an internationally renowned Technocrat and Author, KanikaBajpai is a celebrated theatre / television and musical artiste whereas AnshulaBajpai is a writer of repute. Without bothering to spend precious time in signing a huge star cast LekhTandon had opted for assembling a team of dedicated artistes who fitted the respective powerful roles like a glove.

The story-line of the film is replete with contemporary thought provoking content aimed at placing in perspective the rationale and / or otherwise of the relevance and validity of the “Triple Talaq”. The title of the movie “PhirUssi Mod Par (Back to Square One)” silhouettes the futility and unsavoury repercussions of the prevalent practice of the Talaq against the socio-religious relevance of the practice juxtaposed with the real time honoured beliefs and modern way of life. The film endeavours to convey the practicality to be associated with the basic modus operandi of the practice of “Triple Talaq” which though present in abundance in religious under-currents is selfishly camouflaged and purposely misinterpreted to meet personal ends. The ethos of the very basis of the denouement takes a back seat in the process. It is the story of a woman of substance and fortitude who gets duped in love facing unjustified selfish “Triple Talaq”, raises her son against all odds only to see him subject her Bahu to the same fate in a most unjustifiable manner. The woman rises to the occasion squarely meeting the daunting challenges of society / clerics to ensure that justice prevails. An unconventional post-modern treatment of this sensitive subject makes “PhirUssi Mod Par (Back to Square One)” special as the movie espouses the cause of social justice in no uncertain terms.

PROMOTIONAL VIDEOS

MOVIE REVIEW :

“Content is back” and “Melody returns” are indeed catchy captions which entice cinegoers to view the legendary director Late Lekh Tandon’s swan song”Phir Ussi Mod Par”and the film does live upto the expectations.

The veteran director with popular hit pictures like “Professor”,”Amrapali”,”Jhuk Gaya Asmaan”,”Jahan Pyar Miley”,”Dulhan Wohi Jo Piya Man Bhaaye” and “Agar Tum Na Hote” et al to his credit nostalgically takes you back to the era of straight forward engrossing story telling punctuated with melodious songs —a hark back to the by gone days by.

Choice of a much debated contemporary subject of triple Talaq for the film imparts the narrative with the advantage of debating the hot issue threadbare and discussing the merits and demerits of the archaic practice.Placing the associated religious connotations in perspective the director deftly and forcefully espouses the cause of doing away with the unjustifiable cruel practice of triple talaq in no uncertain terms.Tackling such a bold subject head on demands courage and the film succeeds in displaying an intrepid approach of calling a spade a spade in unfolding the scenario.The sure footed sensitive handling of the contentious issue by the director is truly commendable.

The story centres around the trials and tribulations of a much wronged woman Naaz who is duped by her lover into a sham marriage and subsequently shunned by subjecting her to “Talaq Talaq Talaq” when she is an expectant mother.Sheltered by a Good Samaritan ,Naaz bravely battles all odds to prove triple talaq to be an inhuman chauvinistic practice which ought to be discontinued.When her own son applies triple talaq on his wife (a childhood sweetheart) enticed by a conniving voluptuous secretary Naaz takes cudgels against her own son, drags him to court and strongly advocates justice for her wronged daughter-in-law. The climatic court scenes are the high point of the dramatic narrative.

A hand picked cast of Lekh Tandon regulars render utterly credible performances imparting rare Sensitivity and subtlety of expression laced with ample doses of understatement to their portrayals.Kanwaljit Singh is utterly brilliant in delineating the character of Rashid the benefactor and performs with noteworthy aplomb with his face mirroring his inner turmoil without shedding a tear.Jividha as the protagonist Naaz performs with commendable gusto as do Parmeet Sethi,S.M. Zaheer, Vineeta Malik,Hyder Ali eat al. Kanika Bajpai in a special appearance steals the show with the punch line “Yeh kya Hindustan Pakistan laga rakha hai, Islam Ka rang har mulq mein Ek hai”.The newcomer playing Rashid Junior is the only weak link in the performers ensemble.

Lekh Tandon films are known to be embellished with super hit music. He made a surprise choice of the Technocrat Producer of the film, Trinetra Bajpai (co-author of the celebrated coffee table book “Those magnificent music makers”,who has an affinity to classical music) as the music director to recreate the musical patterns of the golden age. Bajpai created an eclectic medley of compositions reflecting old world charm tuning the lyrics of late Naqsh Lyallpuri,Ahmad Wasi and Irshad Kamil.Haunting melodies viz.”Sehmi sehmi hain gulshan ki ranaiyan”, (picturised on the director Lekh Tandon), the sprightly qawwali “Rakh le iskanaam koi” both sung soulfully by Javed Ali Take the cake among the lilting congregation.Then there are the poignantly rendered sad songs(rarely heard these days), “Hum Kya dil ka haal sunayein”, and “Jab se tum badal gaye “ soulfully sung by Kanika Bajpai and the foot tappingly tuned lyrical duet “Apni zulfon ko”(Kanika Bajpai /Javed Ali).

In general the credits have more than filled the bill with opulent cinematography by Jahangir Choudhary and a taut screenplay coupled to pithy dialogue.

Adieu Lekhji ,your last cinematic hurrah is a thought provoking cinematic essay worth watching.

चलचित्र समीक्षा :

“फिर उसी मोड़ पर”

समकालीन विषय और सशक्त कथानक पर आधारित फ़िल्म “फिर उसी मोड़ पर” विख्यात दिवंगत निर्देशक लेख टण्डन के अंतिम प्रयास के रूप में दर्शकों के सामने आयी है और लुभा रही है।एक गहन विवादास्पद विषय पर इतनी बेबाक़ फ़िल्म बनाना एक अत्यंत साहसिक एवं प्रशंसनीय प्रयत्न है।

तीन तलाक़ के विषय पर लीक से हटकर बनी “फिर उसी मोड़ पर” का सबसे अनूठा पहलू उसका विलक्षण प्रस्तुतीकरण है।बिना आज कल के फ़िल्मी चलन और टिकट खिड़की की परवाह किए एक सामाजिक कुरीति के निंदनीय परिणामों का स्वच्छंद विश्लेषण “प्रोफ़ेसर”,”आम्रपाली”,”झुक गया आसमान”,”जहाँ प्यार मिले”,”दुल्हन वही जो पिया मन भाये” और “अगर तुम न होते” जैसे विभिन्न विषयोंवाली सुपर हिट फ़िल्मों का सर्जक ही कर सकता था।फ़िल्म गुज़रे ज़माने की प्रशंसनीय कृतियों की याद दिलाती है -उस युग की जब विषय का ईमानदार प्रस्तुतीकरण सर्वोपरि था! फ़िल्म का कथानक एक अबला नारी नाज़ के इर्द गिर्द घूमती है जिसे प्यार में धोका मिलता है और “तलाक़ तलाक़ तलाक़” का अभिशाप और वह भी जब वो गर्भवती है!एक नेक इंसान राशिद नाज़ को सहारा और उसके बच्चे को अपना नाम देता है ! तीन तलाक़ कटु अनुभवों से लड़ते हुए नाज़ अपने बच्चे (Junior राशिद) को engineer बनाती है लेकिन जब वो (अपने बचपन की साथी) पत्नी को एक स्वार्थी secretory के चक्कर में तलाक़ देता है तो नाज़ junior राशिद को अदालत ले जाती है —“उसेत तो मैंने छोड़ दिया था पर इसे नहीं “।तीन तलाक़ पर क़ानूनी बहस और उसका परिणाम कथानक के केंद्रबिंदु और विशेष आकर्षण हैं।कसी हुई पटकथा,चुस्त संवाद एवं सशक्त निर्देशन दर्शकों को अंत तक बांधे रखते हैं।

लेख टण्डन के चिरपरिचित सहयोगी कलाकारों कँवलजीत सिंह,परमीत सेठी, एस.एम.ज़हीर,हैदर अली,गोविंद नामदेव इत्यादि ने स्वाभाविक अभिनय का प्रशंसनीय परिचय दिया है।कँवलजीत ने राशिद के पात्र को जीवंत करते हुए बिना आँख नम किए दिल का दर्द जैसे दर्शकों तक पहुँचाया है वो देखते ही बनता है।नाज़ के पात्र में जिविधा का अभिनय सुंदर है।विशेष भूमिका में कनिका बाजपेयी ख़ूब जमीं हैं और उनका संवाद “क्या हिंदुस्तान पाकिस्तान लगा रखा है— इस्लाम का रंग हर मुल्क में एक है” तालियाँ बटोरता है।

लेख टण्डन की फ़िल्मों का विशेष आकर्षण उनका सुमधुर संगीत रहा है और इस फ़िल्म का भी है।एक आश्चर्यजनक चयन में लेखजी ने फ़िल्म का संगीत प्रसिद्ध Technocrat और फ़िल्म के निर्माता त्रिनेत्र बाजपेयी (Coffee table book “Those magnificent music makers” के रचयिता और शास्त्रीय संगीतभिज्ञ) को इस आशय से सौंपा कि वे उस युग के सुमधुर संगीत को पुनर्जीवित करेंगे जब माधुर्य की प्रमुखता थी।और ऐसा ही हुआ।नक़्श लायलपुरी,अहमद वसी और इरशाद कामिल के गीतों को बाजपेयी ने पूरे सुर,तालऔर लय से सँवारते हुए अविस्मरणीय संगीत दिया जिसे कनिका बाजपेयी और जावेद अली ने बख़ूबी गाया!प्रत्येक संगीतात्मक विधा के गीत मिलते हैं —-ग़ज़ल “सहमी सहमी हैं गुलशन की”,क़व्वाली “रख लें इसका नाम कोई”,युगल प्रणय गीत “अपनी ज़ुल्फ़ों को”,उत्सवी युगल गीत “ऐ मेरे दिल क्या रखूँ”,उदास नग़मे “हम क्या दिल का”/“जब से तुम बदल गए” इत्यादि —-लौट आया है गुज़रा ज़माना —वाह!और फिर जहांगीर चौधरी का लुभावना छायांकन गीतों में चार चाँद लगाता है।

महान निर्देशक लेख टण्डन की आख़री पेशकश हिंदी चित्रपटों को फिर उसी मोड़ पार लाती है जहाँ उन्हें होना चाहिए।लेख टण्डन के ७२ वर्षों के लम्बे फ़िल्मी जीवन की उपलब्धियों को और इस महान निर्देशक के कृतित्व को सलाम!

Release Of Movie At Barabanki The Hometown Of Kanika Bajpai

My routine for keeping my curls popping is to add lace front wigs uk and a small amount of leave in conditioner a few times a week. I also co wash it every few weeks. The lace wigs uk are very thick at the deft and full. You get alot of hair per bundle. You most like will have hair left over, which human hair wigs uk use it later. The closure is a nice blend as well. The wig has a good amount of remy hair for parting. I did the burn test and immediately it smelled like burnt hair, I highly recommend.
