Kabhi Kabhie is a romantic story about a young poet named Amit and a young and beautiful girl named Pooja, who both deeply love each other and decide to get married but destiny has other plans, as Pooja bows to the wishes of her parents and marries Vijay. However Amit drifts away from his poetry in a futile and unsuccessful attempt to leave behind his memories of Pooja by getting married to Anjali. Spanning over to the next generation, Pooja & Vijay's son Vicky and Shobha and R.P's daughter Pinky who love each other but things unravel as Pinky's parents tell her that she is not their daughter. So Pinky goes after her mother and we see she is Anjali's daughter. Sometimes later Anjali & Amit's daughter Sweetie comes in the picture and Sweetie feels jealous as her mother shows love more to Pinky as to her. Later Vicky comes and meets both the sisters, forming a love triangle between them, and a chain of events bring together old lovers as friends, some 20 years later is what forms the
e.
Somewhere in the land of love, a young struggling balladist Amit shares one of his verses with a throng of college-goers and comes across a beautiful and demure Pooja. As if knotted with the threads of poetry, Amit & Pooja soon find drawn towards each other. However, destiny beckons Pooja in a different direction and she abjures her love (convinced by Amit who is a struggler himself) to immigrate to a domestic arrangement with Vijay. Contrary to Amit who believed in restraint of expressions and let his mellifluous poems convey the pangs of his heart, Vijay brings down the house with his boisterous and affable antics. While she is pained by the separation from Amit, Pooja gradually warms up to Vijay. On the other hand, Pooja’s departure also sets the sun on Amit’s love for poetry as he meanders away from his art to take up the reins of his father’s construction company. Years later, Pooja and Vijay’s handsome young son Vicky falls in love with a dynamic young girl Pinky (only daughter of Shobha & Dr R.P Kapoor) and they get betrothed – when Pinky comes to know that Shobha & RP Kapoor are not her biological parents. Leaving her marriage to Vicky in doldrums, Pinky moves out to find her mother, and comes across Anjali who is now married to Amit and has a daughter Sweety. Anjali is surprised to find her first born who was born out of wedlock and takes her in but fails to acknowledge the truth to Amit and Sweety. However, her fondness towards the new girl is not looked upon fondly by her family. On another hand, Vicky pursues Pinky and comes across her new settlement but Pinky refuses to return with him till she gets her due from the mother who had abandoned her. In the meanwhile, Pooja and Amit cross path yet again, as Sweety falls in love with Vicky and he seems to reciprocate, though the same turns out to be a ploy to make Pinky jealous. Memories are unleashed, hearts are broken, truths are revealed but peace and love are restored eventually.
However, what makes Kabhi Kabhie more beautiful than any other film of that league is the acceptance of relations. And Yash Chopra’s men have always been larger than life in their magnanimity. The biggest example of the same is Shashi Kappor’s Vijay in this film. Look at the scene below and you will know what I am talking about. A man who wholeheartedly accepts the fact that his wife was in love with someone years ago, is a man in the true sense.
Though Amit couldn’t do the same when he came to know of Anjali’s relation with Pinky, but eventually comes to terms with it, when he fathoms her love for and contribution to his family.
Kabhi Kabhie was made at a time when such grand scale romances were not in vogue. And the movie’s producer Gulshan Rai supposedly believed that the film would tank. But Yash Chopra, who was known for his flair for working with ensemble casts put together what was apparently an insurmountable task and Kabhi Kabhie broke all records upon its release. Just to wonder, Yash Chopra made films simultaneously – Deewar & Kabhi Kabhie – two films as different from each other as possibly they can be – and one can surmise his command over the art that he helmed. In a recent interview with SRK, Yash Chopra claimed that shooting Kabhi Kabhie was like a honeymoon period for him. And why not? If you are making a film with a story that you have conviction on, have the actors you want and have a backdrop as idyllic as Kashmir, what more would you need! Kabhi Kabhie was beautifully directed with plenty of heart-rending moments, dexterously executed by the filmmaker and his entire team.
Amitabh Bachchan, who was just fresh from his ‘angry young man’ image and ripe with experiences of Zanjeer, Deewar & Sholay, played a character absolutely antithetical of what people might had expected of him. One must accept that it was risky for him to play an aged introverted person, after knowing that the audience had lapped him for his anguished characters. Yes, Amit the poet was brooding in his own way, but here he didn’t threaten villains or dodge bullets but recited poems and doted on his teenage daughter. Possibly, it is none other but an actor par excellence like him, who can don an absolutely different hat and carry it with aplomb. Rakhee Gulzar was the only heroine who had repeatedly worked with Yash Chopra, may be the director was indebted to her for offering her jewellery when he had turned producer with ‘Daag’.
This was her second venture with Yash Chopra and her first in line with Amitabh Bachchan in the YC camp (with Trishul & Kaala Paththar to follow). Somehow, I have never been a very big fan of Rakhee but there was something very innately Indian and homely about her, which make her very endearing. As the woman loyal to her husband yet perturbed by the presence of her ex-lover, she makes Pooja very believable. Shashi Kapoor was a dear friend of Yash Chopra and featured in most of his films. At one point of time, all Yashraj films had Amitabh Bachchan & Shashi Kapoor in lead roles. No wonder (as Diptakriti’s quiz said) that Jaya Bachchan called him her ‘souten’. Frankly speaking, Shashi Kapoor’s character is so nice in the film that it almost starts bothering. I had a similar problem with Sanjeev Kumar’s role in Silsila, which had been sketched so flawlessly that you can’t help but root for him and not the other man. Though Kapoor’s Vijay is annoyingly sweet, one has to accredit him for pitching the perfect note for the character. As the pampering father to Rishi Kapoor (his real life nephew) and a romantic husband, he is bang on. As far as Waheeda Rehman considered, let me mention a bias – I can’t find any flaw about whatever she does. I remember going absolutely crazy about her when I saw ‘Guide’ during my college days and I am still equally besotted now. She looks ethereal as Anjali, and delivers a superlative performance in her poignant charm. The dilemma of being torn between Sweety’s love for Vicky and Pinky’s relation with the guy is beautifully expressed.
The younger generation on the other hand present much stronger shades of grey compared to the elder ones. It said that the original story of Kabhi Kabhi had only Amit, Pooja, Vijay & Anjali but Pamela Chopra (Yash Chopra’s wife) came across a story of a woman meeting her child whom she had abandoned earlier – and decided to include the same as a link for the younger generation. (However, one has to take into account that Yash Chopra had consistently dealt with the topic of illegitimate child in his films – right from his debut “Dhool Ka Phool” to “Dharmaputra” to “Trishul” to “Parampara”). Let me start with Naseem. As the feisty girl who is a pampered brat and equally arrogant, I think she was the surprise package of the film. In many scenes, she overshadows the other actors. It is of immense surprise that she didn’t do any further prominent role. Neetu Singh & Rishi Kapoor, who coincidentally fell in love while shooting for Kabhi Kabhie, form one of the best on-screen couples ever on Indian celluloid. As the whimsical yet insecure Pinky, Neetu Singh finds a perfect tune for the role. On one hand, she wants to stay with her mom till she gets accepted and on the other, she cannot bear Vicky’s growing proximity to Sweety. Neetu Singh could play the chirpy girl and still have an aura of strong feminine strength – a rare blend to find! Rishi Kapoor, on the other hand, could possibly sleepwalk through such roles at that point of his career. He was definitely one of the most absolutely charming young actors we have ever had and as the amorous guy who connives for a good reason – he is unparalleled. No wonder Ranbir oozes so much charm even in a deaf and mute character – it’s in his genes!
Sitting in 2012, Kabhi Kabhie might look like a safe film to make – a platter of romance, a dash of successful actors and a big brand – the formula of success. But in 1976, a saga of love spanning generations was definitely an insolent thought, especially when their favourite hero is in grey locks through half of them film. In addition, the film was mounted on a big scale which definitely incurred huge expenses. Though I would not say that Kabhi Kabhie was the most intricate film of Yash Chopra, what makes it stand apart is the sincerity. It was possibly one of the most honest films in the late maestro’s rich filmography. The fact that the entire unit had so much fun during the shoot comes out in the warmth with which the reels are treated. Despite its flaws of forced coincidences and abundant cinematic liberties, the end result has almost a cathartically heart-warming effect. However, where Kabhi Kabhie’s USP lies is the screenplay, especially the way the characters are interlinked and everything is woven into one tight frame. The only other Indian film which I can think where the characters were put into an equally coherent web is Life in a… Metro… No wonder, Kabhi Kabhie fetched writer Sagar Sarhadi a Filmfare Award for Best Screenplay.
Yash Chopra had always had a flair for beautiful capturing of scenic locales. And Kabhi Kabhie was no exception. The film was set in Kashmir and cinematographers Romesh Bhalla & Kay Gee didn’t let the filmmaker down. Kashmir was beautifully captured and enhanced the timeless romance quite beautifully. Though I believe the film could have been a bit shorter, one has to accredit editors Naresh Malhotra and Pran Mehra for ensuring the film runs smoothly without bogging down the audience.
However, Kabhi Kabhie’s biggest strength lies in its music. Yashraj films are still associated with melodious and quality music. And Yash Chopra had worked with a variety of music directors – right from Shiv Kumar Sharma – Hari Prasad Chaurasia (Silsila, Lamhe etc) to Uttam Singh (DTPH), from Madan Mohan’s reprised tracks (Veer-Zaara) to A.R. Rahman (JTHJ), from Laxmikant Pyarelal (Daag) to Khayyam (Kabhi Kabhie). And the legendary music-director, who is best known for his compositions in Umrao Jaan, composed an amazing album for Kabhi Kabhie. This was one of those rare occasions when Mukesh saab sang for Amitabh Bachchan. While the title song “Kabhi kabhie mere dil mein…’ still remains extremely popular and ‘Mere ghar aayi ek nanhi pari” is song sung by most Indian mothers to their daughters, ‘Tere Chehre Se..’ remains a universally popular love ballad. However, my favourite of the lot the poignant ‘Main pal do pal ka shayyar’. Sung by Mukesh saab, the words are uncharacteristically poetic by Indian cine standards.
Look at this video of the song with a beautiful poem to start it with.
However, while Khayyam deserves all the credits for the music of the film, the person who deserves equal mention is lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi. The man was possibly the finest poet in the history of Hindi cinema, someone whom even balladists like Javed Akhtar look upto. And he composed verses which suited the mood of the film just perfectly. No wonder, Kabhi Kabhie had bagged all the music awards that year.
36 years after its release, ‘Kabhi Kabhie’ still retains a charm that doesn’t seem to fade at all. Possibly that’s the magic of cinema. Anything that is purely from the heart never relegates to the oblivion. May be that’s why Kabhi Kabhie had defied its producer’s pessimism and succeeded and still continues to mesmerise its audience. For the entire cast and crew and the filmmaker that was, here’s a salute!
