Chacha Bhatija : : Satta ka Santulan !
Gurudev and Chelaram often discuss current affairs and their hunger to discuss something is easily fulfilled by channels showing anything.
Gurudev is reciting a poem .
* * * * * * * * * *
Hey politician !
Why You behave like a
naked child
who closes his eyes and
thinks that nobody is able to see him ?Have you seen turtle?
it hides its face inside
its boney shell
And thinks that it is now saved from the danger !Silly!!
you are also like a Chameleon
it changes its colour
As per its own requirement!But remember
There comes a time when
Even its nature of changing colours also
Cant save its life!How long can you hide yourself from others?
Do you think
By covering you behind these mysterious covers
You have gone beyond the reach of the people?No!
Someday, sometime
all your masks will be removed
all your mysteries will be exposed to all
and you will be standing before the crowd,
completely naked in real,
bending with
the burden of your crimes !
* * * * * * * * * *
Chelaram: Gurudev Gurudev! why this outburst against politicians today? You seem to be in a mood to discuss about politics and politicians. Ok then Lets talk about Sarkozi who has married his girlfriend, a super model. It seems his India visit has influenced him to take this decision. Now he can come with his wife and see the Tajmahal.
Gurudev: Chela, Did not you see the TV? Did not you read the newspaper? Or did not you get it while you surf the internet? This is so strange, you are not updated as far as domestic current affairs are concerned. Leave international affairs for Ministry of External affairs and focus on home affairs.
Chelaram: Gurudev, okkk I guess you mean this Mr Bhatija, who has created a nuisance in the Bombay. His men are beating outsiders
Gurudev: Its nothing but game to take away power. His Uncle had got power like this only and now nephew wants to follow path his uncle had exercised before and had succeeded.
Chelaram : You mean to say Bhatija is trying to build a house named Pitoshri?
Gurudev: haaahaaaaaaaaa, hey Chela you have become so witty. Uncle made MatoShri and Nephew is trying to make PitoShri. Chela you are talking with rhythm.
Chelaram: I saw a film Chacha Bhatija. ManMohan Desai made this comedy and Uncle Dharmendra and Nephew Randheer Kapoor spread laugh on screen and here we have this pair of uncle and nephew who take away smile from the faces of people. So bad, so sad!
Gurudev: and see the irony Chela, ManMohan Desai was Marathi but he made name when he made films with Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra, Jeetendra, Amitabh Bachchan, all came to Bombay from outside. If politicians have their way then they will order to kill all the Birds coming to India, flying from far away places of the world.
Chelaram: Gurudev, what will happen now? Will scene go Dev or Black Friday way or there will be some other scenario? Will there be violence?
Gurudev: Dont make haste Chela. You might have heard the saying that
“History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce”.
Gurudev looked at Chelaram who was listening him attentively. Gaining satisfaction from his listening he continued.
“See, Bhatija is not the only politician in the city. He wants to hit several targets in one go but there are bigger fishes than him in the arena. His Uncle himself will not spare him as Bhatija has tried to usurp political ground from under his own son. Though Chacha will be in difficult position now. If he criticise Bhatija’s sayings then his old actions will be criticised heavily and if he supports Bhatija then Bhatija rises high”.
Chelaram: Gurudev, its fine with Chacha and his family but what about other leaders? Now leaders or representatives of outsiders will also be taking advantage of this controversy and their position will be strong.
Gurudev: Right, chela, as Sushant Singh had said in Sehar, Satta ka santulan- balance of power. Bhatija has raised the issue but many will wash their hands in this flowing water and those who have been big leaders in the city will also try to stop these young leaders so that these youth leaders get minimum benefits.
Chelaram: Gurudev, timing of Bhatija is good. Now after some months rain will be there and people will suffer from blockage of water and they will be filled with anger towards lack of adequate infra structure in the city. Middle class is very reactive towards these things as they own house etc. Bhatija, had targeted outsiders for lack of infra structure.
Gurudev: Chela, you have started talking wisely. You are learning very fast.
Getting appreciation, Chelaram became enthusiastic and continued his speech,” As Bhatija has started attacking a big name like Amitabh Bachchan. Is there no chance that filmwala people will be scared of him?
Gurudev: Chela don’t worry. Uncle is there, he cant let Bhatija taking away all his heritage. He has to fulfil duties of a father also. Though his son is a sober man but father has to ensure his political future. So just wait for few days.
Chelaram: Gurudev, but think for a minute, if all the filmwala people, who have come to Bombay from outside, unite and decide to leave Bombay and establish film industry in some other state where people are more peace loving then?
Gurudev: Chela, though it will not happen. Film wala people don’t have that kind of unity, vision and courage. We should not forget that basically they are artists and producers etc are businessmen. They all avoid tensions. But for God sake if that happens that film industry is united and decide to spread their wings at many other places then it will be very good for progress of films in India.
Chelaram: How come Gurudev?
Gurudev: Chela, when they will start leaving Bombay then this process will break the monopoly of few people who control film making business in Bombay. New people will join filmmaking at new places. New talent will come on surface. And once left Bombay these filmwala will establish themselves at several other places in India and hence film Industry in reality will flourish more. Real estate will go down in Bombay and as film industry also give employment to marathis also so newely unemployed marathis will fry bheja of Bhatija and his temporary gains will be lost behind the big loses and several people thinking on similar pattern will get a lesson. and employments will be generated at new places.
Chelaram: Gurudev, this is an interesting theory.
Gurudev: Chela, you have heard story of Guru Nanak and his disciples. Guru Nanak blessed the village where he was stoned that people of this village should always live here and he cursed the village where people gave him respect and food etc and treated him as god. There he said that this village should be destroyed soon so that these people spread everywhere. Now filmwala are not Guru Nanak’s group but even then as far as business of films is concerned its better if films are made everywhere in every state so that monopoly of Bombay is finished. Once filmmaking is finished or reduced in Bombay then mafia activities will be reduced and political parties will also get lesson as they cant get money then from filmwala people. So you see for good balance of power its good if filmwala people strike when iron is hot. They have excuse to leave Bombay and establish elsewhere. Even near Delhi they have a place called film city, which was developed for the hope that a branch of film industry will be established there but as you know ye ho na saka aur ab ye alam hai ki gay bhainse ghum rahi hain wahan sadkon par. Who’s who of hindi cinema have come to Bombay from outside and if they leave Bombay then here also in the studios, Cows and Buffalos will dance. Studio mein Mangal !
Chelaram: So Bombaiya mein bole to bina oustiders ke hindi cinema ki wat lag jayegi aur Cinema wale log gaye to Bombay ki wat lag jayegi. But Gurudevplease come to the point of violence. Where this process of hate will be stopped. Its chain reaction. People may beat other state wala in their state.
Gurudev: Keep patience Chela.
Man re tu kahe na dheer dhare …..
No doubt Bhatija has opened a Pandora box out of his foolish lust for power. But digestion of Indian society is very good and its a land which lives with may different elements at same time. Its a heterogenous culuture and people belonging to different faith and thoughts live as neighbours. And all are not Kupmanudkas (frogs of wells). Marathis living away from Maharashtra will realise how foolish Bhatija is and they will raise the voice that such discrimination is bad. And did you follow the news that in Allahabad, local people actually searched Marathis in the trains going to Bombay and offered them flowers and sweets. See its also not their heartfelt gesture but even then this Gandhigiri may help many to keep sane in difficult time.
Chelaram: Gurudev, I recall from your Gandhigiri story. Munna Bhai err Sanju baba is closed to Chacha and Sanju Baba’s sister is MP and a leader of people of Bihar had lost political ground because of Dutt family and he is against Chacha also so will we see Satta ka santulan here also?
Gurudev: Chela, don’t see small things. If we can’t be God of Big things then we can be thinker of big things. Ok so have eyes on big events. Small things don’t make long lasting impact. But in a way you are right with the new events many relations will go under churning and new relations will be developed. Let us wait and see how things take turn.
Chelaram: ok Gurudev, coming back to your favourite topic that is films. If common people start boycotting films produced by fascist people, then will it affect their mentality?
Gurudev: Are, Chela, did not you just see Halla Bol. What Pankaj Kapoor said there? He said very clearly,”Avam ki awaj mein badi takat hoti hai (People’s voice has a great power)”. If people become wise and show their wisdom then there is a no way monster like politicians remain in powerful positions and affect lives of millions. If just for a week people unite then leave alone Chacha and Bhatija, all the politicians will be on the roads perhaps asking forgiving of the masses.
Chelaram: Gurudev, I make you witness and I swear on god that from this moment, I will not watch any film where any person of fascist mentallity is associated.
Gurudev: areeee Chela, you took vow!!! Ohh Ok what can be done now? Now its your duty to convince many other people also so that good things prevail in society and bad things are condemned. And those who are deviated from path of humanity, they come back on track. Afterall we humanbeings have to maintain Bonhomie.
Chelaram: Gurudev, I will do whatever I can do. But I am bit depressed now. Will these politicians go on affecting lives of us, common men in the same way as they have been playing since years. Will they be making us fool. Will people ever see them as they are?
Gurudev: Chela, don’t be disappointed. As Pankaj Kapoor said in Halla Bol, its matter of awareness among people and it is also an ongoing process. Like today you and me understood the bad politics and bad politicians and in same way many others will also be able to see through these politicians and if we all are united then no doubt we deserve better politicians because we are better people. You don’t lose heart, recall the poem I recited you in the beginning of our todays discussion and lets go to home with a hope. And don’t you dare to ever forget Sahir’s song
“Wo Subah kabhi to ayegi …”.
Chelaram: Gurudev. You had given me cassette of this song but now that cassette does not work anymore.
Gurudev: Don’t worry Chela, I will buy you a CD this time. Lets go. I will play for you song of “Mere Apne“. You will see how beautifully Gulzar has described disrupted system in a witty and sarcastic manner.
“Haal Chaal theek thak hai….. sab kuch theek thak hai ….!
Chelaram: Ohh ok Gurudev, you were saying me to show also this film. Please arrange this film for me.
Gurudev: Sure Chela. Next Sunday you will be my guest. First we will see the film and later after lunch we will discuss the film. OK now keep silence while walking and pray for better situations in the country and pray to God that insane people get some sanity.

Hottest Today:
After watching Pyaasa, I have, on a repeat loop, been signing this song; I feel this song is very apt for any kind of situations, well, most situations.
I guess I am a bit pessimistic where as you are optimistic or less pessimistic - hence you have picked “Woh Subha Kab Aayegi..”
You know, a few days before this mess, Amitabh Bachchan had released Bal Thakrey’s grandson’s album ‘Umeed’. Amitabh Bachchan, Bal Thackrey and his grandson all set together and raved about each other….
Its interesting RK saab that you mentioned ” Woh Subah kabhi tho aayegi”…only yesterday was i watching this beautiful song by Mukesh and Asha…notice the still camera in the song..now that is brilliant…how many new age filmmakers would dare to create such moments of romance? The camera is freaking not moving for the whole song except to show stars and the clouds…brilliant…Ravptor, are you listening?
liked poem in begining :)
loved Raj Kapoor video:)
@H.G,
[ye mahalon, ye takhton, ye tajon ki duniyaa
ye insan ke dushman samaajon ki duniyaa
ye daulat ke bhukhe rivaazon ki duniyaa
ye duniyaa agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai
jahaan ek khilauna hai inasaan ki hasti
ye basti hai murdaa-paraston ki basti
yahan par to jeevan se hai maut sasti
yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai
jalaa do, jalaa do ise, phunk Daalo ye duniyaa
mere samne se hata lo ye duniyaa
tumhaari hai tum hi sambhalo ye duniyaa, ye duniyaa ]
This is not pessimism in reality or as shown in the film in those situation its poet’s anger which is generated because of his disillusionment from the society. But its not ultimate pessimism as then poet will not say anything. Poet will commit virtual suicide.i.e he will not create and recite a song. He still wishes to shake the people and hence this angry song in loud voice so that deaf ears can listen this. He is kicking all the rewards that he is not hungry for these false monetary achievements but he wants a better society where people respect the talent and then money etc secondary.

Going away hands in hands with Gulab(Waheeda) perfectly matches with optimism of the film maker Guru Dutt and hence here also next step is
“Wo Subah kabhi to ayegi”.
a hand is there to support him in weak moments when he is rejected from all over. He has shoulders to have support during emotionally down phase.
He will again start his creation journey, as being poet that is his necessity.
Rest in response to Om.
Thank you for your meaningful comment:)
@Om(2),
Thank you for posting video of so good song and which matches with the situations also.
Thank you for your commentary also which sheds light on the visual features of the song picturisation.
More than camera work, I always get pleasure to see Directors way of handeling the emotions.
even if song is not seen as part of a film and we consider it as an independent video then also its so complete in itself.
A sad Raj Kapoor starts the song, he is trying to give strength to Mala Sinha and along with this he is trying to convince himself and he is gathering strength with every single word and once words reaches to Mala Sinha and she gets some strength and sees to Raj Kapoor then how both have changed their body language and again they are together in bringing courage inside them to fight against the odds in the life. They are preparing themselves against the difficult situations in the life.
This kind of depth are lost from today’s Director’s vision because if they have not seen any kind of real difficulty in life and they dont believe in reading stuff close to life then such touch cant come. hence superficial things are prevailing and superficial things are appreciated all over.
Thanks again to show the song after so many years. :)
@Krishn(3)
Thanks for liking poem and writing comment. :)
i don’t know.. but i just feel that there is so much pessimism in the song - it could be the way the song ended made me feel that way. in fact, the film was quite pessimistic, and that was one of the reason why i liked the film. Have I got it wrong? :-?
H.G, Ending does not allow me to accept it as completely pessimistic film. Hero rejects offerings of people, renounces the society and goes away with the person who loves him. His self respect motivates him to leave everything what society people are giving to him.
Normally in pessimism people become deeply sad and idle and they dont feel anything to do. Vijay sings throws out his poetic anger in high voice.
Its very important to watch carefully the scene where he meets Mala Sinha in the end in the side room and the dialogues between them at that time.
Surely film has dose of pessimism at so many places. With failure pessimism is a natural phenomenon but it is temporary or stays permanently that matters. Vijay does not get success in first love relation, it makes him sad but does he commit suicide? no so pessimism here is temporary and he even has courage to forget the past and live in the present. He himself stops Mala Sinha to meet him, as now she is married.
Many instances are there.
—-
You mean to say that you like pessimistic films/approach?
Once story is decided then how its picturised it matters. Its optimistic or pessimistic is different matter. Like all good things how is the JOURNEY of watching the film is important. How well the chosen story is picturised. Many big films end up in pessimistic mode but over all journey is great there.
But at the end he suggested that he will stop with poetry and did not know where he was going..? And at the end did not he suggest that they are going for a suicide or taking sanyas from the world? No?
Also at the end, there was a dialogue and he says something like I have not got any problem with neither any person or the world, but… something like that? Wasn’t that pessimistic?
I will have to watch the film again cos I was watching the film in between my revision…
@H.G(9),
Yes he says in that long dialogues something like
“I cant get peace here and I should go so far from where there will not be any need to go further”.
This is his ultimate disllusionment with the rest of the world. He is very clear in his mind that he can not cope with these kind of wordly affairs But he does not say about committing suicide and to renounce world for sake of peace is not pessimism. He is shown to go away with Gulab.
So its a question mark now.
We only can guess that because he has seen clearly that Gulab is the only person after his mother who loves him unconditionally and he can live with her in a peaceful manner. and we can guess that once he has gone away from this particular city and is settled in life again then creation will return again. Now he will not be having any expectations from the world. He is not desiring any kind of recognition from now onwards.
Guru dutt has left ending open and hence with optimism.
May be someday some clone of Guru Dutt makes a sequel to Pyassa. What happened to Vijay and Meena?
:)
when Mukesh ji sings “Tumhe zindagi ke ujale mubarak hamein ab andhere ras ane lage hain, then its pessimism” for me. Or when somebody says I can not do it. I am not able to do this, then its pessimism. this is pessimism on personal level. But yes scenario in Pyassa shows social corruption and moral values are at decline and that way one sees doses of pessimism and many can think what the use of creating something when world is so cruel. But we see if people (a-m) sit back under pessimism, some people (n-t) gather courage and fight with odd things and again create and some people (u-z) dont take impression of failure at all and continuously create no matter that gets success or not.
Its not irrelevant to quote here that Dev Saab comes in category of (u-z) people, fow whom creation, work etc is the adoration.
there was a song
where is time to love
it should be where is the time to be pessimist?:)
@H.G,
“I was watching the film in between my revision
But a pessimistic guy, which I am, would see that ending with a bit pessimism. No?
This is what I like about open ending rather than close ending. If the film had ended with a bit of optimism, then I would have hated it. But, the open ending let’s me make up my own brilliant ending. You know, I would have not minded if he had died in the end.
perhaps he realized that it is better to live with people who loves you rather than with people who you love… :-?
(Passed the exam. Now harder exams to do.)
@H.G(12),
Are you pessimistic? You search google with the hope that you will get something and in 99% case you bring valauble thing. There for a moment do you think, you are in to a futile effort and you wont get anything? Everybody is pessimistic to some level because we always dont get whatever we desire and these things make us suspicious about fulfilment of our wishes. But pessimistic is , perhaps, a bit bigger and deeper word.
—
Ya open ending of film is good and gives scope to audience to have some relief and think.
–
That is a film thats why you would not have minded if he was died just before the ending. But in real life?
Pyassa is 50% Devdas and Guru Dutt wanted to make a different film and perhaps this is the reason here Vijay does not go death way like Devdas goes but he accepts here his destiny and accepts love of Gulab and goes with her.
He is an ideal poet and he questions, before, morality of people. This way he is fulfilling his own poetic morals and is uplifting life of a prostitute. He is living in the present unlike Devdas who suffered because he never could forget his past.
So there can be more meanings behind Vijay’s decision to go with Gulab than lines inscribed on greeting cards :).
Both kind of conditions have been seen going in to failure as far as marriages are concerned.
One marries a person who loves him/her or marries a person with whom s/he loves, both kind of arrangements may see failure if ingredients are not supplied at proper time.
Congrats on passing your bit easiler exams and best wishes for harder ones. :)
This is what Gurudutt says in the end:
Mujhe unse koi shikayat nahi
Mujhe kisi insaan se koi shikayat nahi
Mujhe shikayat hai samaj ke us dhaanche se
Jo insaan se uski insaaniyat chheen leta hai
Matlab ke liye apne bhai ko begana banata hai
Dost ko dushman banata hai
Mujhe shikayat hai us tehzeeb se
Us sanskriti se, jahan murdon ko pooja jata hai
Aur zinda insaan ko pairon tale raunda jata hai
Jahan kisi ke dukh-dard pe do aansoon bahana buzdili samjha jata hai
Chhup ke milna ek kamzori samjha jata hai
Aise maahaul mein, mujhe kabhi shaanti nahi milegi Meena, kabhi shaanti nahi milegi
Isliye main duur ja raha hun, duur
I’ve got it in MP3 :D
Waah Neeraja! That is the dialogue! That still holds true in this era!
To where?!
Before I used to say this to everyone.. “Naa Koi Murta Hain Naa Koi Maar-taa Hain, Yeh Mein Nahi Kehta, Yeh Geeta Mein Likha hain” (From Aks). But from now on.. I will be saying those lines..
:-D
Neeraja…superb…thanks a ton…these are some really good dialogs…can you send me the mp3?
cinemaismypassion(at)gmail(dot).com
HG and RK saab, i dont think Pyaasa was a pessimistic cinema at all…it was for sure an escapist cinema…Abrar Alvi actually was against the ending, but Guru Dutt put his foot down…Infact, this was the move that Guru Dutt had written before any of his directorial venture…but, no production house wanted to back the project as Guru Dutt was a non-entity…
Ohh btw…correct me if i am wrong…the ending scene of pyasa shows..GD and WR walking into very dark daylight…right?…if it so, then how can that be pessimistic? Infact…by doing that GD has shown us the new light of life…isnt it?
This movie is so freaking awesome..we can keep talking about nuances for days together…time to re-visit pyasa again…will pick the dvd today while on my way back home
Ohh btw, remember the dialog when Guru Dutt says to Waheeda Rehman, Kahi aur chalte hain..to which WR asks, ” par kahan”..GD replies..” Jahan se kahin aur jana na padey”….^:)^^:)^
btw can someone please write a much deserving post on pyaasa and kaagaz ke phool ..
Anand,you will almost anything on PFC…it is sucha plethora of knowledge :)

@OM (16),
Yes Pyassa is not pessimistic cinema. It does show different phases like hope for good and success, bad and sad events, depression, failure, rejection and temporary pessimism also through the life of Vijay but overall its a mixture of all these events. This is the power of this film that when bad things happen then audience get taste of depression and one can see if these situations come before him, will he do compromises to survive nicely (commercial terms as Farookh Shekh of Saath Saath does) or he will be able to fight against this corrupt system and will fight till end (Pankaj Kapoor - ek doctor ki maut) or will react to finish immediate opponent (Om Puri in Ardhya Satya) or will renounce this wordly affairs to live in peace as Guru Dutt has opeted in Pyassa.
——
Brother, what do you mean by — Pyassa is escapist cinema? escapist in the sense as people use for hindi films in general terms that they are escapist cinema or escapist because in end hero escapes from the scenario?
——
Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman in end- thats right he reaches to her house and she feels something inside as she is sleeping with her friend.
They go away and disppaear. Cant say for sure whether its time just before sun rises or its still night.
—–
You might have seen it once again in the night.
Hope it revealed again some new and deeper meanings at so many places:)
@Om (17),
Thats philosophical touch where writer director may wish to leave it on the interpretation of audience.
Movie is awsome because a lot of hard work, vision is associated with it. Its not a product made under sleepy desire to make somehow a film. Experiements with the light and shade as per the mood of a particular character are amazing. Thats why audience may watch it again and again for those purposes only because director has not relied only on words written only in the script or story only but visuals themselves speak at higher level.
Directors and writers who blamed Vishal Bhardwaj that his OMKARA had so many coincidences some forgot that inspite of these coincidences great films perform at greater and magical levels.
Pyassa has so many coincidences like Gurudutt’s hand written paper (single) falls down at the stairs where he is talking with Waheeda Rehman.
Wahida Rehman finds Guru Dutt in a restaurant while he is not having money to eat and owner is insulting him.
Waheeda Rehman meets Guru Dutt when a police constable is coming after her.
Johny Walker reaches at Mental asylum and manages to take Guru Dutt out.
Audience cant manage to object such things in a great film. Fictions have to have coincidences.
Where Directors are failed to bind audience only then glitches are exposed.
Guru Dutt does not allow audience to go out of the effect of the film.
@OM(22),
Are Even I have not read this piece of KK. Taking print to read in evening. Where is part 2?
Oz is strange at times. Desi Train must be having many filmi articles which may be either posted on PFC or links can be posted. How Junta go on searching by name;):
Khazana is there and we dont know password “Khul ja sim sim”
@RK (23)…when i say escapist, what i meant to say is….walking away from the ‘worldy” needs/desires or whatever….GD is so pained that he doesnt wnat to live there, eventhough he knows for sure that he will get the recognism that he deserves…but at what cost?…neither does he have the desire not will nor the enrgy to fight against all the injustice thrown at him earlier..not is he excited about what future could behold…hence he escapes from all forms of it…hence an escapist movie…
@ 24..yeah Johnny Walker reaching the assylum was kinda ver co-incidental….i remember when oz and t! had interviewed Shibani bhatija…and she was talking of somethign on the lines of willingness to suspend yourself to the situation…now though, i couldnt do that to Fanaa, but for some reason i never bothered to ask myself why did Johnny Walker reach there and how…
Bhai…my dvd wallah doesnt have pyaasa…what a shame..will have to look around a bit…or call my ex-roomie to send me my dvd’s
@ 25…yeah..this was one such lil gem by KK…he had written this one after the “gods of screenwriting”….he never wrote the 2nd part..probably he started believing himself to be guru dutt…so that we always rem. him for his unfinished work..haha..nah..but he did write the Cash and Cinema piece, its on pfc somewhere, i had posted that link somewhere too….

@Om (26,27),
Ya agree with that. and its also true that its difficult to object to these coincidences while watching the film. Tha is success of director that he has made it as a smoothly flowing film.:)
@Krishn,
Thanks for the links.
Though it can be safely said that “Khoya Khoya Chand” has no influence of Guru Dutt on it not an iota of influence is visible in any department.
