The Village Ramleela Speaking of filmi Ramleelas, especially those that go hilariously wrong on stage and descend into chaos (the climax of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro being the classic example), let me take you back to a lesser-known one, penned by Gulzar saab for one of my all-time favourite films, Gharonda (1977), directed by Bhimsen. The newly married characters played by Dr. Shreeram Lagoo and Zarina Wahab visit Lagoo's native village, where the villagers are staging a Ramleela. There is no larger social message or a political commentary in this #Ramleela sequence. It simply captures the innocence, simplicity and easygoing nature of village life. But Bhimsen and Gulzar follow it up with a wonderful little scene that quietly brings out the contrast between rural and urban life, and the people who inhabit these two worlds. Beautiful & Brutal. Zarina Wahab: "कितना अच्छा लगता है गाँव में। कोई टेंशन नहीं, कोई जल्दी नहीं। वक़्त भी ढेर-सा लगता है। और शहर में, वहाँ तो दिन को पकड़ते-पकड़ते ही दिन निकल जाता है।" Dr. Shreeram Lagoo: "यहाँ ज़मीन पर हैं ना, ज़मीन से जुड़े हुए हैं। शहर में तो पाँव ही नहीं लगते ज़मीन को। हर आदमी किसी न किसी के कंधे पर पाँव रखकर ऊपर चढ़ रहा है। किसी ने मेरे कंधे पर पाँव रखे हैं, और कोई और उसके कंधे पर पाँव रखकर चढ़ रहा है।" This brief exchange has #Gulzar written all over it. Interestingly, this particular segment does not appear in the original story by Dr. Shankar Shesh and is part of extended screenplay written for the film. Gharonda itself is remarkable for its rather unusual emotional conflict. The female protagonist is indecisive, but her dilemma is rooted more in a moral conflict than in love or conventional romantic uncertainty. She is certainly not the woman of Rajnigandha, caught between two romantic possibilities. Her eventual decision emerges from the solution she finds to the circumstances confronting her. In some ways, her conflict reminds me of Ijaazat, where the woman ultimately asserts her right to walk out of a relationship. In both films, the women emerge as the final decision-makers, exercising a quiet but decisive authority over the course of their relationships. And in both, the men are left stranded. Amol in Gharonda becomes almost a bechara, much like Mahendra in Ijaazat. Even the closing images of the two films bear a curious resemblance, with the male protagonist left standing alone, trying to come to terms with a decision that is no longer his to make. एक अकेला इस शहर में... But returning to that little scene following the village Ramleela, those thirty seconds possess a beauty entirely their own. No elaborate philosophy, no dramatic flourish. Just a few simple lines about life, human psycology, the city, the village and the ground beneath our feet. So effortlessly written, so naturally performed, and so easy to connect with. Thats Gulzar, the dialog writer for you.. #Gharonda

Delhi or Bombay, Lucknow or Calcutta, Jaipur or Banaras, one can debate till eternity on which city has the best #chaat in the country. But this biased allahabadi says you can't put the debate to rest unless you've tried the fulka, tikiya & khasta from the city of the two rivers.

It's always Kajarare and not Kajra Re (official misprint) if you can understand the difference in lyrics..

this or that (female dance numbers edition) 🧵👇 beedi or kajra re
