Storyline
In post-independent India, Maria has been hospitalized in Goa and is
told that she needs to have surgery. She asks the surgeon to wait until
her friends join her and then recollects her life as a Satyagrahi with
the Goa Liberation Struggle in order to compel the Portuguese to quit.
She has telegrams sent out to six of her comrades - namely Bihar-based
Anwar Ali Anwar; Maharashtra-based Shakaram Shinde; Tamil Nadu-based
Mahadevan; West Bengal-based Shabut Sanyal; Punjab-based Jogender Nath;
and Uttar Pradesh-based Ram Bhagat Sharma. She does not know that
acrimony - on the lines of religion, caste, and language - has created
divisions between not only her group but also amongst all Hindustanis.
She then recollects how the six had partnered in order to hoist the
Hindustani Tiranga on seven different Police Chowkis and monuments in
occupied Goa and had undergone strenuous combat training. While being
successful six times in their venture, the entire group ends up in
custody, separated, ... Written by

Saat Hindustani: Amitabh Bachchan and beyond!
The whole of India
would recognize Saat Hindustaani (1969) as the debut film of Amitabh
Bachchan. But beyond that hardly anyone would know anything about the
movie in terms of its cast, story, setting, etc because most of them
(including hardcore Amitabh Bachchan fans) might have never seen this
film. Though each and every film of Amitabh Bachchan repeatedly keeps
playing on TV channels, I have never come across this film on the small
screen ever. So had to rent a VCD which was marred by bad print and
sound quality. However it conveyed the spirit of the film.
This is the one and only film of Amitabh Bachchan in Black and White. From more than 30+ films that Khwaja Ahmed Abbas directed in his career, this is the only one that got him popularity and remains tagged with his name till date. Its common knowledge how classic Westerners like 'The Magnificent Seven' or the Japanese film 'Seven Samurai' were inspirations behind Amitabh Bachchan starrer Sholay. However even 'Saat Hindustani' (Seven Indians) had traces of those films in terms of seven diverse individuals coming together to free people from foreign rule. Allegedly Saat Hindustani is loosely derived from Hollywood flick 'For Whom The Bell Tolls'(1943).
Beyond Amitabh Bachchan, the film had a lot to offer. There was an array of assorted actors and each of them, barring Utpal Dutt, were almost first timers. Utpal Dutt was the only established actor in the star cast. Saat Hindustani was a social war drama with lot of action and adventure stuffed in. It had a strong social message to convey – about national integration in a country separated by religion, caste, language and social status.
The story is about a Goan girl Maria (Shenaaz) who, on her death bed, sends postal invitations to all her revolutionary colleagues who once came together to free Goa from the Portugal rule. All of Maria's six teammates are introduced in present times. Ex-army-man Joginder Nath (Utpal Dutt) is unhappy with the partition of Punjab state. The fields that he ploughed in Punjab in morning ended up being in Haryana in the evening following the divide. Tamalian Mahadevan (Irshad Ali) who once endorsed the national language Hindi in Madras, now hates the language with changing times. He is also a harijan – meaning a person from the lower caste. Anwar Ali (Amitabh Bachchan) is an Urdu poet who believes that Hindi is too complicated. His house is burnt down as a result of the Hindi-Urdu feud. Ram Bhagat Sharma (Anwar Ali) propagates through his newspaper that anyone who doesn't support Hindi in the North Eastern (Hindi-dominated) belt will face dire consequences. Sakharam Shinde (Jalal Agha), a wandering theatre artist, hails from Maharashta where several boundary districts like Belgaum and Bidar are fighting to be integrated with the Maharashta state. (Since then till present day, Belgaum city on the Maharashtra-Karnataka boundary is still making headlines over which state it should integrate with – which makes one wonder how the issues in India have continued for decades and are still pertinent). Lastly Shabut Sanyal (Madhu) comes from Bengal.
And to think of it, all these six individuals who presently have caste, creed or racial differences, once came together to fight the Portuguese and free Goa from their rule. Goa, then, had similar conflicts like Kashmir has today. Locals from Goa had a feeling that though it was a part of India, the Indian government didn't consider them equal and fight for their rights or freedom. That's when these Seven Indians (Saat Hindustani), including Maria come together, undergo physical training and get set on a mission to host seven flags at seven prominent police stations or monuments in Goa.
The beauty of director K.A.Abbas' casting was that he made each actor play a character against his real-life region or religion. So the Bengali Utpal Dutt played a Punjabi in the film, while Malayalee actor Madhu played a Bengali character. Muslim actors Irshad Ali and Jalal Agha played South Indian and Maharashtrian characters convincingly and so did Muslim actress Shenaaz, compellingly pulling off a Christian character. Son of Hindu poet Amitabh Bachchan played a Muslim shayar, while Muslim actor Anwar Ali played a staunch Hindu (Bachchan also took his character name from Anwar Ali). Through such a casting, the director gave a subtle message on tolerance for other communities with national integration being the bigger picture.
The performances, not just by Amitabh Bachchan, but even other actors like Utpal Dutt and Jalal Agha were brilliant. Shenaaz reminds of Zeenat Aman in several frames. Madhu was low on screen presence and took a backseat. Amitabh Bachchan who went on to become the biggest superstar of Hindi cinema, which he is even today, won a National Award in this debut film of his. Saat Hindustani also won the Best Film (K.A.Abbas) and Best Lyrics (Kaifi Azmi) Award for National Integration.
The pace gets slow at times but otherwise, Saat Hindustani is an entertaining action-adventure-social-war drama. Watch it even today and you won't be disappointed. Because not much has changed in the country since then!

'पता नहीं था कि ये लंबू सुपरस्टार बनेगा'
- 9 अक्तूबर 2012
शहनाज आनंद अमिताभ बच्चन की पहली फिल्म सात हिंदुस्तानी में उनकी सह नायिका थीं. वो याद कर रही हैं अमिताभ से जुड़े अपने अनुभव.
मेरा नाता फिल्मों से पुराना था क्योंकि मेरे पिता आगा और मेरे भाई जलाल आगा फिल्मों में पहले से सक्रिय थे.मुझे याद है अमिताभ से मेरी पहली मुलाकात ट्रेन में हुई थी. फिल्म सात हिंदुस्तानी में काम कर रहे हम सभी सह कलाकार साथ थे.
उनकी आवाज जरूर शानदार थी लेकिन उन्हें देखकर मुझे उस वक्त तो कम से कम कतई नहीं लगा कि ये दुबला पतला, लंबा इंसान कभी सुपरस्टार बन पाएगा. सेट पर वो बिलकुल खामोश रहते थे.
शहनाज आनंद अपने पति टीनू आनंद के साथ. फिर फिल्म के एक सीन में उन्हें पुर्तगाली टॉर्चर कर रहे हैं उनका पांव काट दिया गया है और वो रेंग रहे हैं. ये सीन उन्होंने जब किया तो सेट पर मौजूद सारे लोग तालियां बजाने लगे और तब मुझे अहसास हुआ कि ये बंदा काफी दूर तक जाएगा.
रमेश सिप्पी (शोले और शक्ति के निर्देशक)
मैं उन चंद भाग्यशाली लोगों में से एक हूं जिन्हें उनके साथ काम करने का मौका मिला. मैंने उन्हें आनंद और बॉम्बे टू गोवा में देखा था और उनके काम से बहुत प्रभावित हुआ था. तभी मैंने सोच लिया था कि इस शख्स के साथ मुझे काम करना है.तब सलीम-जावेद ने कहा कि एक लड़का है, इलाहाबाद से आया है. हमारी लिखी फिल्म जंजीर में काम कर रहा है. जानते हो उसे. मैंने कहा- ओह हां. अमिताभ नाम है ना उन महाशय का.
फिर मेरी फिल्म सीता और गीता की सक्सेस पार्टी में हमने उन्हें बुलाया और फिर जैसे-जैसे शोले की स्क्रिप्ट पर काम होता गया हमें लगता चला गया कि ये ही जय के रोल के लिए फिट बैठेंगे.
वो हर शॉट से पहले पूरी तरह से तैयार होकर आते थे. कैमरे के एंगल के हिसाब से कैसा शॉट देना है, लाइटिंग के हिसाब से कैसे भाव लाने हैं. उन्हें हर छोटे बड़े तकनीक पहलू की जानकारी होती थी. इससे हमारा काम बहुत आसान हो जाता था.
मुझे याद है शोले का जो गाना है ये दोस्ती हम नहीं तोड़ेंगे, उसकी शूटिंग के दौरान एक सीन में मोटरसाइकिल और ट्रॉली को जोड़ना था. वो काफी कठिन सीन था. लेकिन अमिताभ ने एक टेक में वो सीन इतनी आसानी से कर दिया कि हम सब दंग रह गए.
अमिताभ हर काम को परफेक्ट तरीके से करते हैं.
फिल्म शक्ति का वो सीन जिनमें राखी की मृत्यु हो जाती है और ये आकर दिलीप कुमार के बगल में बैठ जाते हैं. उस सीन में एक भी संवाद नहीं था. साइलेंट सीन है. लेकिन इन दोनों महान कलाकारों ने जैसा अभिनय उस सीन में किया उसकी वजह से वो यादगार बनकर रह गया.
आनंद जी (संगीतकार)
अमिताभ बच्चन जैसा मेहनती, वक्त का पाबंद इंसान मैंने नहीं देखा. कल्याण जी भाई, मैंने और अमिताभ ने ही बॉलीवुड कलाकारों के विदेश में कॉन्सर्ट्स करने का सिलसिला शुरू किया.अमिताभ के कॉन्सर्ट्स के बाद से हमारा हिंदी सिनेमा विदेशों में इतना मशहूर हुआ कि लोग कहने लगे कि अमरीका में हॉलीवुड है तो हिंदुस्तान में बॉलीवुड है.
वो हर कॉन्सर्टस से पहले रिहर्सल करते थे और स्टेज पर आते थे तो धूम मच जाती. ऐसे बेहतरीन तरीके से गाते थे कि समां बांध देते थे.
एक दिलचस्प वाकया मैं सबको बताना चाहता हूं. हम सब कनाडा के वैंक्यूवर में एक कॉन्सर्ट्स कर रहे थे. वहां बहुत सारे पंजाबी मूल के लोग रहते हैं.
दुर्भाग्यवश ढेर सारे दर्शक कॉन्सर्ट में नशा करके आ गए और हुड़दंग मचाकर पंजाबी गानों की डिमांड करने लगे.
वो अमिताभ पर टमाटर और अंडे फेंकने लगे. तब अमिताभ ने बहुत ही सहजता से माइक पर कहा, "आप लोगों ने जिस तरीके से हमारा सत्कार किया उससे हम गदगद हैं. अपने अंडे और टमाटर संभाल कर रखिएगा. हम आपकी सेवा में बार-बार आएंगे."
दीपक सावंत (40 सालों से अमिताभ के मेकअप मैन)
मैं इतने लंबे समय से उनसे जुड़ा हूं. आज तक उन्होंने मुझसे या किसी से भी ऊंची आवाज में बात नहीं की.वो मेरी फिल्मों में फ्री में काम कर देते हैं.
मुझे याद है कि मेरी फिल्म गंगादेवी की शूटिंग चल रही थी. उन्हें हार्निया की समस्या थी, लेकिन वो सेट पर आए. शूटिंग के दौरान उनके पेट में जबरदस्त दर्द हुआ. मैंने कहा भी कि शूटिंग बंद करते हैं, तो उन्होंने कहा, "नहीं. बिलकुल नहीं. तुम्हारा नुकसान होगा." उन्होंने दिन भर शूटिंग पूरी की. फिर वहीं से अस्पताल चले गए. और फिर उनका ऑपरेशन हुआ.
वो शराब, सिगरेट, चाय, कॉफी, कोल्ड ड्रिंक और नॉनवेजज खाने से बिलकुल दूर रहते हैं. कड़ी लगन और अनुशासन से वो आज भी वैसे ही चलते चले जा रहे हैं जैसे युवावस्था में काम करते थे.
