Bara-Dari – 1955

 

“Bara-Dari”, a Romantic Costume Drama, starring Geeta Bali, Ajit, Pran, Chandrashekhar, Murad and Gope, was one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 1955.

It was a story about Rajput chivalry – when blood was shed to honour a word, when swords came out of their sheaths even on flimsy pretexts. A true brave Rajput would fight to his death but never bow his head down.

I must have been barely 5 or 6 years old but I still remember my dad talking about the scene he had just filmed that day. The scene where the villain, Pran, cunningly suggests that all the doors to the palace remain shut and only a little gap in one of the windows to be left open for Ajit to enter. “He will have to bow his head down in front of all of us in court !!”  Ajit is about to enter with his head bowed down, he hesitates, and then suddenly realizes it to be a set up to lower his nobility. He defiantly enters the palace by jumping through the small gap with his feet in first!!  I remember my dad smiling – pleased with his accomplishment on the sets that day – everyone had delivered exactly the way he had picturized it.

“Bara-Dari” was K. Amarnath’s “masterpiece”.
It also excelled in all other departments.

The album of the songs from “Bara-Dari” was music director Nashad’s most accomplished work, and the album that he is most remembered for. Ten great songs covered a full spectrum of varied music genres – from the playful foot-tapping duet “Bhula Nahin Dena” to the hit melodious ghazal “Tasveer Banata Hoon”.

This classic, ever-green song, “Tasveer Banata Hoon, Tasveer Nahin Banti” is also listed as one of Talat Mahmood’s most memorable songs.
