In focus: When Rehana Sultan got knocked out

Rehana Sultan and Sanjeev Kumar in Dastak
Knock on your memory door and you would remember Mahesh Bhatt's 1996 film, Dastak, which paved former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen's entry into Bollywood.

Knock a little harder and you may just remember another Dastak from 1970, popular Urdu writer Rajinder Singh Bedi's debut production.

Based on one of his own plays, Naql-e-Makani, it was Rehana Sultan's second film after Chetna made her an overnight sensation. The audience came in hordes, expecting to see more of the legs which had made Chetna's poster Image result for Chetna's posterthe talk of the country, only to find them demurely covered up in this sensitive black-and-white film in which she was Sanjeev Kumar's wide-eyed begum.

Both Rehana and her onscreen miyan bagged the prestigious Urvashi Awards, as the National Awards were known then, for their nuanced performances.

Rehana played Salma, who moves from the village to the city and into a rented apartment, with her husband. But her peaceful domesticity is disturbed by frequent knocks as lascivious strangers lurch drunkenly to her doorstep, even when her husband is hovering around protectively. In time, the couple learn that they come looking for the nautch girl who lived their earlier. They are not unhappy to find a younger and prettier replacement, never mind that this girl desperately puts up a fight as her home pulls her down that same road to degradation. She finally burst out of its doors and flees down the street, away from the house, the galli, the city and may be the world itself...
