Reviews
Daasi (1988)
Daasi was not made for TV
Daasi (language-Telugu) was not made for TV, as it reflects from its listing, 'Daasi 1988(TV)'. The film won 5 National Awards, also proves the point. I was the 'audiographer' for the film and was present on location. The film was shot in rural areas of Andhra Pradesh near, Hyderabad, India. An old ancient mansion was hired for most of the shoot. Entire shooting was finished in about 18 days. Subject of the film was the sexual exploitation of women who worked as domestic help in homes of rich land lords. Archana, who won the best actress's award, was very easy person to work with. B Narsingrao (producer/director) and Apurba Kishore Bir (cinematographer) have been old friends as well. I want to put across through this message that the film was not made for TV as it suggests on this site.
Lootmaar (1980)
This film was announced as the first Bollywood film to have 5 top villains of that time, in it.
I was 'Audiographer' or 'Sound Designer' for Loot Maar. This film's announcement boasted as the first Bollywood film to have 5 top villains of that time, in it. Popular film tabloid 'Screen' carried the announcement with pictures of Amjad Khan, Prem Chopra, Ranjit, Kader Khan and Shakti Kapoor. The film was produced at the Mehboob studios at Bandra, Mumbai. Mehboob studios has always been Mr. Dev Anand's favorite working place. He feels totally at home there. Mehboob studio has had permanent make-up room and the dress-room for Mr. Dev Anand, right from start. Now that he has made his own office premise called 'Anand Recording', he dresses up there before leaving for a shoot. A team of foreign visual effects generators was called to, create a sequence of camera traveling through universe before finally zooming in to the Earth. Film starts with this sequence. This was done in room of hotel Sun n Sand. The outdoor shoot of Loot Maar was done in the outskirts of Simla. We had made a set there too, that was constructed on an accessible road. So, it seemed like a real house. Entire shooting was done in winter. It was not very comfortable working on snow for more than 40 days. 'Jan Chhaye Mera Jadoo', became the biggest hit song of this film. It was sung by Asha Bhosle and was shot on Simple Kapadia. Another good number was 'Piya Hum Saat Mulk Ka Pani', shot on Dev Anand and Mehmood. Mehmood too had a interesting cameo in the film. This was Tina Munim's second film for Navketan, after 'Des Pardes'. Rakhee has been Mr. Anand's favorite actress. They have worked together in many films. Post production, like dubbing and sound effects of the film were done at Ketnav recording studio, belonging to Dev's brother Mr. Vijay Anand. The film was dubbed on a film 'rock n roll' machine. Mr. Dev Anand was very excited about the back-ground music of this film. The film was premiered at the Eros cinema in Mumbai.
Des Pardes (1978)
I was Sound Recordist for the film.
Des Pardes was one of the better films by Mr. Dev Anand, as a director. I worked with him for from 1973-85 and did 9 films, as a Sound Recordist. This film had good content and the script was executed well. It was leading lady, Tina Munim's first film. She was fun to work with and later turned out to be a very popular star in Hindi movies. Amjad Khan adopted a different mannerism and was excellent in the film, so were senior actors like Prem Chopra and Pran. The film had the set of a pub called 'Sam & Nam', which was used for shooting for nearly 45 days. It used to be filled with smoke for the ambience and due to this some workers complained of getting bad throat. So, a doctor was called on the set and entire unit was given a medical checkup regularly. This was first major film as cinematographer by Mr. D. K. Prabhakar, who was assistant to a very senior cinematographer, Mr. Fali Mistry. Music played an important part in the popularity of the film. The songs were very good to listen to, and were picturised well too. The film did fairly well on the box office.
