film(Grihalaxmi)(1934)







Educated Wife’ was a remake of the 1927 silent film ‘Bhaneli Bhamini‘, released in the same year as S S Milard’sIs Your Daughter Safe‘ aka ‘The Octopus’, which Variety called “possibly the strongest and most dangerous” film of its kind made in America at that point. In an advertisment in the Bombay Chronicle in 1927, ‘Bhaneli Bhamini’ was described as “an excellent warning to the younger generation to beware of venereal disease and take necessary precautions.”

    Grihalakshmi (Educated Wife) is a 1934 Hindi social family melodrama film directed by Sarvottam Badami with story by Dr. Jayant Shyam and cinematography by Faredoon Irani.[1] The film was produced by Sagar Movietone and had music by S. P. Rane.[2] The cast included Sabita Devi, Jal Merchant, Yakub, Kamala Devi, K. C. Dey, Swaroop Rani and Asooji.[3]
    Badami became well known for directing "sensitive" and "socially relevant" films like Grihlakshmi for Sagar Movietone.[4] The film was a remake of the earlier Bhaneli Bhamini (1927) which had a relevant social message to impart against sexually transmitted disease according to an advertisement in the Bombay Chronicle in 1927.[5] This 1934 version differed in context showing an educated steadfast wife going through humiliation at the hands of her husband, but continuing to stay with him.

    Synopsis

    Malti (Sabita Devi) is the daughter of a wealthy mill-owner Jagmohandas (Asooji), who is an evil, corrupt man. She meets a young man Vinod (Jal Merchant) in College. They both fall in love and decide to get married. However, Vinod's father is humiliated by Jagmohandas and he commits suicide. An angry Vinod decides to take revenge by marrying Malti and putting her through mental and physical abuse. An old friend of Malti's, Sudhakar (Balaram), loves her from college days and watches the treatment Malti suffers through her husband but is unable to do anything. Vinod takes to drinking and bringing nautch girls home. Malti suggests Sudhakar get married to Nalini (Swaroop Rani) who is ultra-mod but Malti tries to help her turn traditional.
    Vinod gets into gambling and when he needs money, Raghu (Mehboob Khan), a worker in the factory helps him out. Vinod in his debauched state eyes first Raghu’s wife and then Nalini, when she comes to visit Malti. Malti helps her escape but is beaten up by Vinod. She leaves the house and goes to live with her father. Sudhakar comes to tend to her and Vinod arrives at the same time. Seeing Sudhakar there with his wife Vinod gets jealous and shoots at Sudhakar.

          It was a colourful stellar team that Jal Merchant formed with Zubeida in the early Talkies. But it was in mythological roles, and not romantic parts, that they first won the hearts of cinegoers. The first picture that made them a rage everywhere was Sagar’s “Veer Abhimanyu” (1931), in which Jal played Abhimanyu to Zubeida’s Uttara. In the next one Jal was Arjun, Abhimanyu’s father, while Zubeida played Subhadra.
          Like Zubeida, Jal Merchant joined films in the ‘silent days’. It was a change of medium for him, for he had been playing female roles on the Gujarati Stage! His performances as the heroine of “Shankit Hriday”, a Gujarati play, proved a hit, and Narendra Majumdar, who directed the play, induced him to switch over to screen acting. Jal joined the Imperial Film Company, and among his early films the most notable was “Vasant Bengali” (1930) a social picture directed by R.S. Chowdhary. In those days, the screen hero generally had more brawn than brains, but the lead player of “Vasant Bengali” was called upon to show more intelligence than physical prowess. Jal did just that – and won instant fame. After the advent of sound, Jal’s first four films for Sagar were mythologicals – “Veer Abhimanyu” (1931), “Subhadra Haran” (1932), “Pandav Kaurav” (1933) and “Mahabharat” (1933). For close-ups of these pictures, Jal used to wear trousers and only the upper part of his body was made up for his role. But in close-up his pants were also visible! The shot was cut on the first day of screening in Bombay. Gifted with a fine voice, he also delighted cinegoers with his singing.
          In “Zarina” (1932), written and directed by Ezra Mir, he was the tongawalla who falls in love with a dancing girl at a carnival. This poignant romantic tragedy won plaudits for both Jal and Zubeida. It was their last picture together for Sagar. Zubeida left Sagar and Sabita Devi took her place. Sabita and Kumar were the first stars imported from Calcutta. Sabita co-starred with Jal in “Phantom of the Hills” directed by Ezra Mir, in which he played a dashing Pathan riding a white charger. In “Educated Wife/Grihalaxmi” (1934), directed by Sarvottam Badami, he played a modern educated youth. In this role the versatile Jal revealed a genial personality. Sabita was again his co-star.
          Jal and Zubeida played stellar roles together once again in “Aaj Kal”, dircetd by R.S. Chowdhary. This was the last important picture for both stars. Jal Merchant, who already had a flourishing business, retired from the screen and lived a quite life in Bandra, Mumbai. Jal was an excellent ‘shikari’ in his younger days. His screen associates also remember his soft voice, gentle manners and sensitive, handsome face.

    Grihalakshmi (Educated Wife) is a 1934 Hindi social family melodrama film directed by Sarvottam Badami with story by Dr. Jayant Shyam and cinematography by Faredoon Irani.[1] The film was produced by Sagar Movietone and had music by S. P. Rane.[2] The cast included Sabita Devi, Jal Merchant, Yakub, Kamala Devi, K. C. Dey, Swaroop Rani and Asooji.[3]
    Badami became well known for directing "sensitive" and "socially relevant" films like Grihlakshmi for Sagar Movietone.[4] The film was a remake of the earlier Bhaneli Bhamini (1927) which had a relevant social message to impart against sexually transmitted disease according to an advertisment in the Bombay Chronicle in 1927.[5] This 1934 version differed in context showing an educated steadfast wife going through humiliation at the hands of her husband, but continuing to stay with him.

    Synopsis[edit]

    Malti (Sabita Devi) is the daughter of a wealthy mill-owner Jagmohandas (Asooji), who is an evil, corrupt man. She meets a young man Vinod (Jal Merchant) in College. They both fall in love and decide to get married. However, Vinod's father is humiliated by Jagmohandas and he commits suicide. An angry Vinod decides to take revenge by marrying Malti and putting her through mental and physical abuse. An old friend of Malti's, Sudhakar (Balaram), loves her from college days and watches the treatment Malti suffers through her husband but is unable to do anything. Vinod takes to drinking and bringing nautch girls home. Malti suggests Sudhakar get married to Nalini (Swaroop Rani) who is ultra-mod but Malti tries to help her turn traditional.
    Vinod gets into gambling and when he needs money, Raghu (Mehboob Khan), a worker in the factory helps him out. Vinod in his debauched state eyes first Raghu’s wife and then Nalini, when she comes to visit Malti. Malti helps her escape but is beaten up by Vinod. She leaves the house and goes to live with her father. Sudhakar comes to tend to her and Vinod arrives at the same time. Seeing Sudhakar there with his wife Vinod gets jealous and shoots at Sudhakar. Sudhakar dies and Vinod is on the run. In the end he realises Malti's devotion to him and is repentant.
