Julie actor Vikram makes a comeback - The Times of India
Vikram – Memories - Cineplot.com
cineplot.com/vikram-memories/Nov 26, 2011 - Vikram. [ Back to Vikram's Menu ]. I was born in Gadag, a place ... Thefilm I was offered after this— Julie — was the biggest blunder of my life.
I was born in Gadag, a place about 30 kms away from Hubli, which is where I completed my education. I come from a very large family, we brothers and sisters numbering 11. We were a typical middle-class family though by Hubli standards, we were well to do. My father had a business, we owned a couple of trucks and also a confectionery shop, which was well known. I studied up to the second year B.Sc. But right from the age of about six or seven, I was attracted to films. I had seen Nagin and then felt that I had to get into cinema.
In a place like ours, acting was not very popular and there was no scope for stage acting either. Once in a blue moon stage shows would come up and I’d do some good roles in them. That was about it.
Bombay was the place I had to get to, to be an actor. But I did not know how to go about it. So whenever film stars came to Hubli for shooting, I’d hang around them and try to get to know a little about them. When my family discovered my inclination, they weren’t very happy. More so, because I was the eldest son. But my father gave in when he saw that I was bent upon doing this. I wasn’t very good at studies but I was very active at extra-curricular activities and was the General Secretary in my college.
After my B.Sc. I didn’t know what to do, so I went to Bangalore and trained for business management. The papers carried advertisements asking for recruits to join small and large scale industries. I dabbled in catering and whatever else took my fancy. At the back of my mind though, I knew that I had to go somewhere else. One day, while going through Screen, I saw an FTII ad, so I applied for it and got a reply as well. I chose Madras as my centre and was very serious. But in Madras, I found that there were so many boys and girls present for an audition. I was really bad, since I had never faced a camera in my life. Only my confidence helped and I somehow managed to scrape through the dialogues I was given. Actually, they were tough and meant for NSD students. But they understood that I was an amateur. After a month I received a telegram saying that I was selected.
I met Roshan Taneja who said, ‘We don’t want trained actors because we are going to train you. We only want to check a person’s potential, if he is photogenic, etc., so that we can groom him’. I asked them if I could complete my catering exam, after which I joined FTII.
Two years at FTII taught us a little about acting, directing and scripting and by the end of it, you knew a lot about cinema. After that, I did the usual round of producers’ offices with my portfolio. They were very encouraging, saying, ‘Aap ka kaam ho jayega’. People like F.C. Mehra and B.R. Chopra thought I was good hero material.
My first film and probably her last, was with Vani Ganapati, titled Pyaasi Nadi. Then I did a few B-grade films. Big producers weren’t signing me because I didn’t have solid backing at that lime. I also did a few action films. That’s when Devendra Goel, a big producer, signed me for Aadmi Sadak Ka. Other big producers like Anil Ganguly and Basu Chatterjee then followed suit.
The film I was offered after this— Julie — was the biggest blunder of my life. Sure, it was a super hit, but for a hit like that, you must have a super role. Mine was the wrong role. Before this film, I had action films on one side and romantic ones on the other. I was just establishing an image. At that time, the Julie role shouldn’t have happened because it was bad.
The hero was suppressed in the entire film and it was totally heroine- oriented. My mistake entirely. If I hadn’t done this film, I would have slowly come into my own position. After Julie was released, I had a lot of problems. I was dropped from many films. At that time, a lot of heroes had refused the film. I went by the name of Nagi Reddy, Madras banner, etc. But even one wrong move for an actor is enough. Even today, I repent doing that film.
Only benefit was that before Julie, the kind of signing amounts I received were mind-boggling. And whatever money I got, I invested in shares or factories. Even today, I am secure because of those investments. I can make 10 films if I want to. Imagine, I had signed 20 films before the release of Julie and not one after it. Even Amitabh wouldn’t have survived by doing that role. Because even if it’s a small role, you must look like a hero. I wasn’t even in the climax. (Laughs) Utpal Dutt was the hero of the film!
Disaster over with, I started my own production. I launched Situm with Smita Patil, Naseeruddin Shah and myself; Aruna Vikas directing; Jagjit Singh for the music and Gulzar as the lyricist. It was a low budget art film which did fairly okay. Feeling more confident after this, I ventured further into production.
When Situm released in 1980, I also got married. My wife Faryal has adjusted well to my profession, the ups and downs and the insecurities. She has stood by me. Now that my investments are secure, I will make films but only with my financier’s money. I won’t mortgage my house or sell my car. I may have been crazy initially, but not anymore.
I already have Vikram Productions and have been making films with smaller artistes. Now, I want to work with bigger artistes and make good films like my colleague Raakesh Roshan. After 20 years in the industry, I feel I have enough experience as a producer, actor and distributor. I may also venture into telefilms. I would also like to direct a film. My other projects I will give out to people like Sachin. I would like to form a company of directors called Trinity Forts. With a lot of good directors and producers coming in now, I feel that’s just what the industry needs.
I want to make a commercially successful film, following makers like Raj Kapoor and Yash Chopra, who satisfy audiences from six to 60. They never made vulgar or stupid films. For instance, Mohra was a hit only because of one song. You have a film with a good script, good dialogues and a song like ‘Tu cheez…’ and you have a hit. The money put in has to be doubled or don’t make a film. I think I am the only actor in India who has seen every film from Raja Harishchandra to Vijay Path. I used to watch them from an actor’s point of view and later, from a business point of view.
W hat makes a film click? I have found that in India, we only use one formula — Ram, Laxman, Sita and Ravan. Ravan is killed in the end and everybody is very happy. Even Sholay had this. For personal satisfaction, you can make a film like Situm. I was happy with it, so were Smita and Aruna Vikas. But the distributors were unhappy. My financiers have told me that if I start thinking along the Situm lines, they will take their money back. One film like that was enough for me. Big makers like Subhash Ghai and Gulshan Rai should make one Situm; but they won’t do it because they can’t afford to. I did it as a new producer with no backing. But no one helped me with my finances after that, so I decided to turn commercial too.
Subhash Ghai can say ‘Choli ke peechey kya hai’, because it means money. There are so many fantastic art filmmakers who nobody even knows about. In this industry, only a successful man is recognized. I have seen non-success and now I want to be successful. I want to receive the bouquets and attend a lot of parties and mahurats. I received 150 bouquets when Julie released and it was also my birthday. But there were other birthdays when I didn’t receive a single one.
My experience in the industry has by and large been good. Except for some unpleasantness with Rekha. But that problem was natural, because I was new and she was already an established heroine, I think this happens with everybody. Maybe she wanted a bigger star opposite her. Probably when she was new, somebody refused her. Among the good people I have met, are Smita, Jagjit Singh and Gulzar. Especially Smita, she was a very sweet person. She was responsible for my turning producer, when I started Situm. She is a great loss to her friends and also to me. She could have made a few more directors and producers.
She was very encouraging to people and so full of life. I don’t think I have ever met anyone like her. Truly, in this industry, you don’t find anybody like Smita Patil… (As told to Jyoti Suvarna in 1994).

Storyline
Julie is an anglo-Indian girl with a loving, but alcoholic father and a domineering mother, a younger brother and sister. She falls in love with her best friend's brother Shashi Bhattacharya, a Hindu boy, and she has a passionate encounter with him, which leaves her pregnant. He goes away to college, not knowing about her condition. Her mother is distraught when Julie tells her about the pregnancy. They don't tell the rest of the family. Her mother thinks about getting Julie an abortion, but a devout Christian talks her out of it. Julie is sent away to have her baby in secret. The rest of the family is told that Julie got a job. When she comes back home, she runs into her Hindu boyfriend and tells him everything. He agrees to marry her, but his mother objects to the mixed marriage, not knowing about the baby born in secret. Julie's mother doesn't want the marriage either, as she and the rest of the family want to go to England. Written by gavin@sunny_deol2009@yahoo.com

User Reviews
The Ballad of JulieK.S. Sethumadhavan remakes his Tamil film in Hindi and 'Julie' is quite a refreshing delight among movies of that time. I liked the portrayal of the Angl-Indian family which is done without overdoing clichés. Although the Om Prakash character is overweight, alcoholic and does wear a beret and pants with suspenders (which was one of the stereotypical images of Christian Indian characters in Hindi films), his alcoholism (isn't just a characteristic that's just there) plays a crucial part of the story.
The dynamic within the family is effectively displayed on screen. The religious conflict, especially from Devki and Margaret's point of view and their family's ignorance towards their objection was hilariously depicted. I liked how the characters, especially the minor ones such as Rahim and Richard were depicted as very human characters rather than clichéd props (as was common in movies of that time). 'Julie' does have its share of melodrama and at times it is heavy on sentimentality but these are thankfully limited.
I'm not a big fan of Rajesh Roshan's music but the songs in 'Julie' are quite melodious even if they don't have the best of lyrics. The location is captured quite nicely. They lighting tends to be too strong at times ad the colour filter is faulty.
Lakshmi confidently carries the film. She is sincere, pretty, vibrant and spontaneous and her portrayal of Julie's vulnerability, strength, courage, dedication and poise is done brilliantly. Utpal Dutt, Achala Sachdev, Rita Bhaduri and Sridevi provide excellent support. Om Prakash tends to be loud but he still manages to be likable. Nadira deserves special mention. This is a departure from the vamp and evil mom roles that she got typecast in. I haven't seen the original Tamil version but I cannot think of any other actress more suitable to play Margaret. Nadira owns each and every one of her scenes in 'Julie'.
I was under the impression that 'Julie' was going to be just another ditsy romantic movie of its time but now I'm glad I watched it after a friend's recommendation.

Julie (1975, Hindi)
Lakshmi, Vikram, Om Prakash, Jalal Agha
When it hit the screens, it swept the youth with its
bold theme. The general unrest in the country seemed a passing phase and
youngsters were too happy visiting theatres and catching up on Lakshmi,
as attractive a lady as one could imagine. Good times, one thought,
when Julie was making waves with its music and a story that stood
out. The Emergency was yet to be proclaimed. India had just won the
hockey World Cup. And the youth was humming ‘My Heart Is Beating’, a
mesmerising number then, sung by Preeti Sagar, who had just the looks to
be an actor. That she chose to sing was the misfortune of many a young
mind.
Preeti Sagar’s song, peppy stuff that appealed
to even those who did not understand the lyrics, but swung to the
lilting tune, was a feature of the movie. In a splendid celebratory
sequence, the Anglo-Indian family, high on alcohol, dance to the eldest
daughter’s ode to young lovers. It was stylish to play the song at
private parties and break into a rhythm that the family of Morris (Om
Prakash) displayed on the screen. Hindi cinema was not known to feature
songs in English and this was a trendsetter even though Raj Kapoor’s Sangam had
a short number sung by a foreign voice. Preeti earned a Filmfare
nomination for ‘My Heart is Beating’. She lost the award to Asha
Bhosle’s classic ‘Chain Se Humko Kabhi’ from Pran Jaye Par Vachan Na Jaye. She won it three years later for ‘Mero Gaam Katha Parey’ from Manthan.
For all her singing talent, Preeti only craved for offers before fading
away to sing nursery rhymes for kids. It wasn’t rosy for Lakshmi
either, who played the perfect Julie. After the runaway success of her
debut Hindi film, Lakshmi found solace and recognition in South Indian
films. The leading man, Vikram, failed to make an impression on the
audience in this heroine-dominated movie. He too was lost to the
industry after some movies.
What made Julie
such a hit? Lakshmi obviously. Coy and carrying herself with grace, she
came as a whiff of fresh air, even though Dimple Kapadia had set hearts
aflutter with her show in the iconic Bobby two years ago.
Compared to Bobby, Julie was far more timid, imploring her alcoholic
father to mend his ways but strangely succumbing to the desires of her
friend’s brother (Vikram), much to the chagrin of Richard (Jalal Agha),
who aspires to marry her.
Julie was a
hackneyed portrayal of an Anglo-Indian family, living in India, dreaming
of returning to its home in UK, speaking a smattering of Hindi. ‘Hamara vaasta, tumhara vaasta, hey man, kya karta man’ emphasising their discomfort with the language.
Typically,
the daughters wearing skirts and shorts, with a guitar-playing son
(similar to Ranjit Chowdhry from ‘Baton Baton Mein’, father drowning
himself in alcoholic sessions, joined by his wife (Nadira) too, their
endless bitter fights that leave the children distraught. Not the kind
of Anglo-Indian families one would come across. Not all Anglo-Indian
families celebrate every little event with a drinking binge or talk of
flying to England at the smallest pretext. Not all Anglo boys play
guitar. They play football and rugby too.
Julie
rode on the excellent performance by Lakshmi. She falls in love with
her friend’s (Rita Bhaduri) brother and ends up an unwed mother. The
issue of inter-caste marriage crops up even as Julie is forced to
deliver the child and give it away in adoption to escape the social
stigma attached to unwed motherhood. It was a bold subject, but director
K. S. Sethumadhavan dealt with it in a deft manner, his narrative
making many statements on the issue. The cameos by Bhaduri and Utpal
Dutt added to the rich fare that Lakhmi and Nadira brought with their
delightful acting prowess.
Other than Lakshmi, the
star of the movie turned out to be Rajesh Roshan, a composer not in the
league of his father, Roshan, but a man who created a niche following
with his brilliant contribution that grew on his fans with time. From
Kishore Kumar’s ‘Dil Kya Kare Jab Kisi Se’ and ‘Bhool Gaya Sab Kuch’,
the composer creates melody with the Preeti Sagar number, and, of
course, the melodious Lata Mangeshkar offering ‘Yeh Raatein Nayi
Purani’. A lovely bhajan, ‘Saancha Naam Tera’ by Asha Bhosle and Usha
Mangeshkar, brings out the classical touch of Rajesh Roshan’s range.
His
music complemented Lakshmi’s brilliant portrayal of Julie, a ravishing
college student. A 12-year-old Sridevi is not to be missed either. It
was her first film in Hindi.
