Hindi cinema has not seen real elephants since the ’60s and ’70s.As Junglee fills that jumbo-sized gap, those that remember the thrill of watching elephants in theatres relive the era
Niharika Lal (BOMBAY TIMES; March 18, 2019)

”When the elephant cried, I cried too”, “I wanted an elephant friend whom I could call by name”, “petting an elephant was my only dream” — these were just some responses we got from the generation that still remembers the magic of watching elephants ‘act’ on the big screen, when a handful of elephant movies were made in the ’60s and ’70s. Since then, it’s only been CGI elephants or animated characters, leaving later generations with only the imagination of what it would have been like watching real elephants in action in theatres.

In fact, Haathi Mere Saathi (1971) was such a huge hit that moviegoers stood in never-ending queues to get tickets. Those associated with these films of yore say that they gave the elephant characters their most human characteristics, and that the ’60s and ’70s were a defining period for elephants in Hindi cinema.

More than four-and-a-half decades later, that magic is set to be revived with Junglee, which stars Vidyut Jammwal and Bhola, the mighty elephant. With Bhola and his jumbo friends ready to take over the screens on March 29, kids finally have a chance to watch the story of a real elephant.


WE USED TO WAIT FOR HOURS TO GET ONE SHOT WITH ELEPHANTS: DHARMENDRA
Dharmendra, who shot with elephants in films like Maa (1976) and Shola Aur Shabnam (1961), says that the shooting was challenging, but “one of the best experiences” an actor can have. He tells us, “In my career, I’ve got quite a few opportunities to shoot with animals, including elephants and tigers. One of the prominent ones was Maa, which was all about a mother elephant’s love for her little one and how she fights a man (played by Dharmendra) trying to trap the baby elephant. It was a beautiful film that conveyed an important message through a touching story. The film was loved not just in India, but was a huge hit in Russia as well. I really enjoyed shooting it. We were shooting in Mudumalai in Karnataka and it was interesting, but very challenging, too. Those elephants and other animals we were shooting with were trained, but you need a lot of patience while shooting with them. We used to wait for hours just to get one perfect shot. It was a lot of hard work for everyone but I enjoyed every bit of it. I also got a chance to shoot with elephants in my second film, Shola Aur Shabnam. We shot that in Karnataka as well.”

WE SHOT IN A FOREST WITH TRAINED AND WILD ELEPHANTS: KALA PARVAT DIRECTOR
M S Sathyu, best known for directing Garm Hawa (1974), also directed Kala Parvat (1972), an India and Soviet Union co-production. The film was jointly directed by M S Sathyu and Alexander Zagurdi. Sathyu says, “We shot the film in a forest with 80-90 real elephants, with a Russian group. Shooting this film was difficult because we had different types of elephants — trained ones, wild elephants and baby elephants. But we had the expertise of a Russian crew, who advised us on how to deal with animals, and forest officials helped as well. It was indeed a mammoth task, but children loved the film, and even now it is screened for kids.”

He adds, “Of course, a film shot with real elephants will work even in today’s time; children will especially love it. We don’t make films with real elephants anymore. Now, everything is animated.”


‘HAATHI MERE SAATHI WAS A MASSIVE SUCCESS BECAUSE IT WAS RAJESH KHANNA’S FIRST FILM TO CONNECT WITH KIDS’
Gautam Chintamani, who has written Rajesh Khanna’s biography, had come across a number of anecdotes about Haathi Mere Saathi during his research. He tells us, “When I was talking to Salim Khan (who wrote the screenplay with Javed Akhtar), he told me that one of the major reasons behind the massive success of Haathi Mere Saathi was that it was Rajesh Khanna’s first film that connected with children. A number of scenes with elephants were included just to entertain kids. Other than its success at the box office, the film had a message for animal rights, too.”

Chintamani adds, “For me, another film which is memorable is Safed Haathi. As a kid, I related to this film so well because it was full of adventure. I also found Maa very exciting as a kid because of the animals. Those films had such a huge impact that you’d want to have an animal friend whom you could name and pet.”

CHILDREN LOVE ELEPHANT MOVIES, BUT DIRECTORS DON’T MAKE THEM: CHILDREN’S FILM SOCIETY OF INDIA
The Children’s Film Society of India’s (CFSI) catalogue lists only a few films on elephants, like Kala Parvat and Haathi Ka Anda (which doesn’t have any elephant). Nagraj Kulkarni, a CFSI official, says, “We have films like Kala Parvat, and a few other regional films on elephants, but most of those are old. Nowadays, there are very few films on elephants. One reason could be that shooting permission is difficult to get.”

Dharmendra agrees, “In the ‘70s, it was easier to shoot with elephants and other animals, but now, the law is very strict and therefore we don’t see many films on elephants. I’m glad to hear that after so many years, there is this film called Junglee that’s coming soon. I hope this film wins hearts and that it’s a big hit, and more and more people go to watch it. There are very few films now where we see elephants as part of the main story.”

‘WANT TO SEE HOW THE ELEPHANTS IN JUNGLEE ACT AND REACT’
As Junglee has been shot with real elephants, those who have seen elephant movies in theatres are quite excited about the movie. Jaisingh Rajput, Assistant Officer in Production at CFSI, says, “As a kid, I’ve seen all the movies with elephants — be it Haathi Mere Saathi or Kala Parvat — and I’m a huge fan of them. There are a few films with real elephants in them, and where the elephant is not just an animal, but a character. I’m looking forward to watch the film to understand how they have dealt with the animal, check if he is also acting in the film and how he responds in the scenes.”

Kisko sunaoon haal dil-e-bekaraar ka
Bujhta hua charag hoon apne mazaar ka
Aye kaash bhool jaaun magar bhoolta nahi
Kis dhoom se utha tha janaza bahaar ka
Yeh duniya yeh mehfil
Mere kaam ki nahi…

When Chetan Anand decided to bring the folk legend of Heer Raanjha to the screen in verse, it was a one-of-its-kind experiment. Half a century later, Kaifi Azmi’s words still resonate. “He was a serious poet and his songs were simply an extension of his poetry,” asserts Shama Zaidi, screenplay writer, art director, costume designer, and theatre artiste who knew him since her days with the Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA).

She flashbacks to when young writers and journalists, theatre artistes and his daughter Shabana Azmi’s actor friends would hang out at his place. Zaidi remembers that writer-playwright, Rajinder Singh Bedi, had suggested M S Sathyu make his directorial debut with the story of a Muslim family which does not migrate to Pakistan after the Partition. The script was based on an unpublished short story by Ismat Chughtai half of whose family had crossed the border.

“I showed the script to a few people, including my father (politician-educationist Bashir Hussain Zaidi), who liked the story but told me the politics was all wrong so I took it to Kaifi Saab and asked him to fix that aspect,” says Zaidi, pointing out that using the same situations and characters, he rewrote the entire film in a couple of months. “I edited it again, he made a few changes and we were ready to roll.”

Prod her on the changes and she reveals that the original story, which begins in 1947 in the immediate aftermath of India’s independence from British rule, ended with the whole family leaving India only to realise, disappointed, that even in Pakistan things were not hunky dory as it had appeared from afar. “Kaifi Saab reasoned that since it was a story of people who don’t wish to relocate, they shouldn’t go to Pakistan at all,” informs Zaidi. The film eventually concluded with the patriarch, Salim Mirza, turning back from the railway station to join his younger son Sikander and a crowd of protestors marching against unemployment and discrimination, staying back in India to fight for his rights.

The story which Chughtai had placed in Lucknow being from western UP herself, was also shifted to Agra, as Kaifi saab, who was from Azamgarh, “didn’t think the characters behaved like those from western UP”. And Mirza Saab who started out as a railway employee, became the owner of a small shoe shop. “Kaifi Saab had worked with leather workers in Agra and Kanpur as a trade union leader and knew the world well,” says Zaidi, who shared the Filmfare Award for best screenplay with Kaifi Saab who also took home the Black Lady for dialogue. Garm Hava was India’s official entry to the Oscars in the Best Film in a Foreign Language category and at the National Film Awards was adjudged the Best Feature Film on National Integration.

Prod her on the man himself and she remembers him as someone who didn’t speak much and had a dry sense of humour. “He would say something with a straight face, only later did you realise that he was pulling your leg,” says Zaidi, who breaks into peals of laughter as she recalls them visiting all the haunts of Sultana Daku, including a fort on the foothills of the Himalayas where he’d been imprisoned after the British labelled the villagers a criminal tribe and forcibly tried to convert them to Christianity, for a film they were writing together. “He escaped with many others and they became dacoits. While trying to piece together his life story, we met a man who offered to put us in touch with someone who’d known Sultana Daku, along with some nimboo pani while we waited. The sherbet took an hour coming, with someone being sent to the market to buy lemons. After that, when he asked us to stay for dinner, Kaifi saab told me quietly that we should make our escape because a meal would take even longer coming.” Sultana Daku was shelved after director Sukhdev got into a fight with the producer and so was a film version of Laila-Majnu because someone else came out with a bad film on the same subject. “The last thing he was working on was a play based on his long Urdu poem Zehr-e-Ishq . We had a reading before he fell ill and never recovered. It can never be performed because half the manuscript is lost,” sighs Zaidi.

Kaifi saab’s birth centenary was celebrated on January 14. 

M S Sathyu, who turned 85 on Monday, rewinds to a career as set designer in theatre and films spanning six decades.
Alpana Chowdhury (MUMBAI MIRROR; July 9, 2015)

It was in 1952 that Mysore Srinivas Sathyu landed in Mumbai, with a desire to work in cinema, though he knew not a word of Hindi, Marathi, Urdu or Gujarati. Fluent in Kannada, but with just a smattering of English at his command and a self-acquired talent for sketching and painting, the college drop-out from Bangalore got an opportunity in Gujarati theatre to design sets, as this required no language skills.

The big break came with Praveen and Sarita Joshi's ballet, Dekh Teri Bambai. The ballet was about a 24-hour journey through Mumbai and the youngster rose to the occasion with amazing ideas for 24 scenes. Sets of VT Station, a large clock, the cages of the red-light area, and many more were slid in from one side of the stage and moved out from the other, with ample space for live musicians and dancers.

The ballet was a huge success and in 1959, the troupe was invited to Paris. But transporting the props was easier said than done. With the Italian crew of the ship they were travelling in, going on strike in Karachi, Sathyu had to rescue his props from the hold of the ship and load them on a plane to Rome in coffin-like packages. In Rome, a fellow passenger persuaded him to enjoy a tour of the city, leaving his props unattended on a railway platform! Fortunately, no one stole 'the coffins' and he reached Paris with the props intact.

The veteran designer, who turned 85 this week, recounts this and other stories like they happened just yesterday. Part of Junoon Theatre's Mumbai Local initiative, Sathyu's talk in Bandra was an interesting throwback to times when there were no back projections and laser lighting to create diverse and often complex worlds within the confines of a theatre. Through six decades, Sathyu improvised with different kinds of material, often substituting plywood with pvc pipes or thermocol. For a poor, run-down look, he would rub crude bar soap on painted walls to age them, and create translucent windows with bubble-wrap, instead of glass. Passing light through a plastic tree to achieve a true-to-life effect was another one of his innovations.

For Sathyu, who evolved as a lighting designer as well, sets and lighting are always complementary to one another. So, in the play, Agnes of God, he lit up a fibre-glass cross, with an angel at the top, to impart an ethereal quality to it. Lighting skills created a floor-mat in Nagamandala, and the illusion of drizzling rain in Rashomon.

Sitting enthralled at a performance, few viewers would know of the difficulties behind the wonderful, illusory worlds that unfold before their eyes. "The monetary constraints make you improvise all the time. Then, there are time constraints, as most auditoriums give you just four hours within which you have to put up the sets, perform and dismantle the sets. So, you have to minimise the property used. Then the size of a stage has to be taken into consideration. While the Jamshed Bhabha Theatre allows for more elaborate sets, the structure of Prithvi Theatre requires a different kind of designing. In street plays, on the other hand, you can make do with less than a shoestring budget which is how we staged Bakri in Bhopal," explains Sathyu.

Some of his designs may have, originally, been drawn on restaurant napkins, chuckles the multifaceted designer as he narrates how Praveen Joshi and he would sit at a Juhu hotel in the midnight hour to discuss a new production. At other times, he would put up the sets without any sketches. "A Shakespeare society from England wanted my design of the Zul Vellani-directed Othello but I didn't have one! So we sent them a cardboard model that our lightman had made to decorate a cake that we cut as part of our celebrations," he reminisces.

From not knowing any of the local languages in Mumbai to becoming one of its ace set-designers and simultaneously progressing to scriptwriting and directing award-winning films like Garm Hava, the silver-haired Sathyu continues to re-invent himself even today.

Currently, he is in the throes of designing and directing Anarkali for the NCPA, using miniature paintings as reference for the sets. At the same time, he is busy drawing up architectural plans for theatre houses in Bangalore and Lucknow.

Ask him who taught him Hindi and he quips, "I taught myself."

Truly, this soft-speaking artist is a self-made one for whom no constraint is insurmountable.

This is in regard to the article on Haqeeqat which appeared in Mumbai Mirror on January 6. I would like to point out that the colour version of Haqeeqat has never been shown at any festival or public screening.

Also, I have not cut M S Sathyu and Priya Rajvansh's name from the title credits of neither the black-and-white original nor the colour version.

M S Sathyu has not seen the colour version even in a private screening. So with due respect and apology to him, I would like to say that his memory has failed him.

In 1962, China attacked India over a disputed 3,2225-kilometre-long Himalayan border, launching simultaneous offensives in Ladakh and across the MacMohan Line on October 20. Chinese troops captured Rezang la and Tawang before ceasefire was declared on November 20.

The Chinese withdraw from India, but Chetan Anand, with memories of the first Sino-Indian War still fresh on his mind, arrived in Ladakh a year later with an idea of making India's first war movie.

"This was the first time a movie camera had travelled to Ladakh and overwhelmed by the scenic beauty around us we exposed over a lakh of footage only to return to Mumbai and realise that we didn't have a story," recalls M S Sathyu.

Anand quickly developed a story around a small platoon of Indian soldiers believed dead who are rescued by Ladakhi tribesmen and a young captain, Bahadur Singh who dies, with his girlfriend, holding the Chinese at bay so his comrades can retreat to safety. But they are killed too. "When I asked Chetan saab if we were going back to shoot in Ladakh, he surprised me by asking me to recreate the hilly terrain in a city studio," says Sathyu.

Working from the photographs they had taken, he built Ladakh in Mehboob Studio with an artist, Yusuf, to paint the backgrounds. Sathyu got the Filmfare Award for Best Art Direction for his true-to-life sets.

While shooting Haqeeqat in Jammu & Kashmir Sathyu remembers that there were no pucca roads, just tracks in the sand and one day the jeep he was in, drove straight into Chinese territory. "The jeep behind tried to signal but since there was no barbed wire, we crossed over and were met with sten gun and machine gunfire. Fortunately, we were pulled out in the nick of time by the soldiers who were with us," says the art director.

Balraj Sahni almost got swept away by flash floods while crossing an icy river. Once again, it was the jawans who jumped to his rescue. Anand had many real soldiers in his cast, including the Ladakh Scouts who played the Chinese. Amongst them, it was not difficult for Dharmendra, who played Captain Bahadur Singh to pass off as a dashing officer.

"He was a funny fellow. One evening, he got drunk and went missing. We went looking for him and found him sleeping peacefully in a real jawan's tent at the Bartal camp," Sathyu laughs. Haqeeqat launched many careers, including that of Sanjay Khan, Sudhir, singer Bhupinder as an actor and Priya Rajvansh who played Angmo, Bhadhur Singh's girlfriend. Sathyu remembers her as a tall, beautiful girl who in her cap, costume and tribal jwellery convincingly passed off as a Ladakhi girl. "The role didn't demand great histrionics, she just had to look the part and sing a song filmed on a set I had created in the studio and wasn't happy with," he says candidly.

Picturising a song on a closed set didn't pose as big a challenge as filming a war sequence with real bullets. Still, there weren't any mishaps except one when a persistent junior artiste, Dagru, finally got himself a bit role by turning up at Mehboob Studio everyday. "He was placed on a bunker three feet up and when hit by a bullet had to tumble down. He did, with a somersault, and then lay on the floor with a smile on his face. He had broken his spine,"says Sathyu.

He rushed him to Nanavati Hospital but despite all our efforts, he died. "We didn't know where he was from. After a long search we finally learnt that he had a wife in a village near Satara and the body was sent there," says Sathyu.

The film opened at the First International Film Festival of India in New Delhi. It was premiered at Odeon cinema. The then President of India, Dr Radhakrishnan, the chiefs of the Defence Forces and Bollywood bigwigs like Prithviraj Kapoor and Raj Kapoor were present on the occasion. Sathyu has no memories of the premiere but he remembers walking out of a screening of the colorised version at IFFI in Goa a few years ago.

"The starkness of black-and-white which gave the film its classic touch is lost. Scindler's List was made at a time when enough colour was available, yet Steven Spielberg shot it in black-and-white," he points out. "By colourising Haqeeqat digitally, Chetan saab's boys have ruined the film. Following my objections they dropped my name from the title credits, and Priya's too."

M S Sathyu's 1974 directorial debut, Garm Hava, re-opened in theatres last Friday after four decades, with the sound digitally enhanced in the US and 2 lakh frames meticulously corrected.

One of the Sunday shows in Mumbai drew an 80 per cent attendance and had the audience on its feet, clapping appreciatively. It was a rare honour for its 84-yearold filmmaker in an era when "everything is going bang bang". The film's magic lives on in its subtle performances and sensitive story.

The Film Finance Corporation (now the National Film Development Corporation) had rejected a script earlier but immediately approved of this one, based on an unpublished short story by Ismat Chughtai, about a North Indian Muslim businessman, Salim Mirza, whose decision, post Partition and Mahatma Gandhi's assassination, not to relocate to Pakistan, devastates his family.

"Ismat had not even written the story, she simply narrated it to me. And though living in Mysore, I had not been exposed to the Partition, I had read and heard about it as a student, and this story struck a chord," Sathyu recalls.

He was associated with the leftist Indian People's Theatre Association and cast several stage actors, many of whom had never acted in a film before. One of them was A K Hangal, who ran a tailoring shop in Crawford market, wore natty suits, enjoyed the stage but had turned down many film roles before this. He plays Mirza's business associate, Ajmani Sahab, who buys his house.

Garm Hava also introduced a fresh faced law student, Farooq Sheikh, who was lured not so much by a Rs 700 remuneration, but that he would get to work with 'the' Balraj Sahni. Sahni who had been directed by Sathyu in a play earlier, immediately agreed to play the patriarch for a measly amount of Rs 5000.

Another debutant was Shaukat Kaifi, wife of Kaifi Azmi who bagged two Filmfare trophies for Best Screenplay (with Shama Zaidi) and Best Dialogue, plays Mirza's wife. She used to perform with Prithviraj Kapoor and Sathyu had seen her on stage when she was touring Bangalore. "Garm Hava was her first film too," he smiles.

The role of Mirza's mother was first offered to Begum Akhtar but the singer wasn't permitted to act in films. Sahani was getting anxious about rehearsing his scenes so Sathyu asked Mathur, the owner of the haveli in Agra where they were shooting, whether he could introduce them to one of the nautch girls who had once entertained his grandfather. And that's how the filmmaker and his cameraman, Ishan Arya, landed up on the doorstep of Badar Begum.

As a girl of 16, she'd come to Mumbai to become an actress, but unlike her neigbour Nimmi, Badar Begum couldn't make it big in Bollywood. After a few roles as an extra, she returned to Agra, became a prostitute and later the owner of a brothel.

On the day of Sathyu's visit, the police had raided the brothel and taken her girls away. "Let them come back another day," the septuagenarian, told Mathur, refusing to believe that the guests from Mumbai were there to offer her a film.

When she was finally convinced, she accepted the offer. Her performance bagged her two awards, and she returned to the brothel.

Sathyu persuaded Bahadur Khan with whom he'd work in the Little Ballet Troupe, to score the music. He flew down from Kolkata and recorded the entire score at Mehboob Studio in a couple of days.

The soundtrack included a qawwali by Aziz Ahmed Khan Warsi of the Warsi Brothers fame. "We had shot the qawwali without a song and showed the silent portion to him. He recorded the song in one go," marvels Sathyu.

He remembers how they had a dummy unit to lure away star-struck fans from the hotel so they could step out, shoot in the shoe factory, crowded bazaars, at Fatehpur Sikri and even the Taj Mahal, quietly, sometimes without requisite permission.

"We shot inside the Taj and in its gardens on a Sunday. I paid seven gardeners Rs 5 each to keep curious tourists at bay. By the time people realised we were shooting, we had run away with the reels," he laughs.

The chuckle dies away when he recalls the untimely death of Balraj Sahni's daughter Shabnam. "She was married to a man in Kolkata on the insistence of her grandmother who passed away soon after and her mother-in-law started taunting her about her association with a Muslim boy, making her lose her equilibrium," he says.

She returned to Mumbai and after rehabilitation started and she took up a teaching job at the Sadhana School. Sahni was campaigning in the interiors of Madhya Pradesh, when he learnt that she had committed suicide. He flew back in the CM's private plane and was accompanied home by Sathyu, where ignoring the family, he ran up the stairs to her room.

The scene was recreated in Garm Hava when his heart-broken daughter, Amina, kills herself. "I told him I didn't want any tears, he didn't shed any," says Sathyu.

Sahni died the day after he finished dubbing for Garm Hava. The last lines he recorded for the film were "Insaan kab tak akela jee sakta hai?" Salim Mirza is one of his finest performances.

However, the censors wanted the film banned. Sathyu screened the film for Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and I & B Minister I K Gujral who suggested that he release it down South first. Garm Hava opened in Bangalore, then premiered in Paris in January 1974, forging a connection with the 700-odd cine buffs, many of them French. On the recommendation of a critic, it was then invited to the Cannes Film Festival where it was nominated for the prestigious Palme d' Or. It was also India's official entry in the Best Film in a Foreign Language category at the Oscars.

"I didn't need to lobby for it, Garm Hava was invited by the Academy of Motion Pictures after the Cannes screening. I didn't have much money so I couldn't go to the US but I sent my film," smiles Sathyu.

Forty years later, the scorching winds continue to blow us away with this poignant post-Partition story of a nation divided.

Roshmilla Bhattacharya (MUMBAI MIRROR; November 5, 2014)

It began with the idea of restoring the 1973 post-Partition drama, Garm Hava, for a DVD release. However, R D Deshpanday, chairman of RDDH, a multi-speciality company which has restored century-old castles in Europe and turned them into boutique hotels, believed that the cult classic deserved a bigger platform. And for the last three years, the creative and technical team of INDIKINO, has been restoring the original negative, frame by frame, dialogue by dialogue, in preparation for a theatrical re-release by the PVR chain on November 14.

"The original negative had not only aged but was full of shakes and flickers, dirt and dust, scratches, tears and junctions, stains and color patches. So along with colour correction, picture stabalisation was also required," explains Deshpanday, adding that some lost frames were also reconstructed.

The process involved correcting restored videos by special effect techniques to create sharp images and then colour grading to give them depth. "Almost 95 per cent of the film has been restored without a single frame being changed. The remaining 5 per cent was left over-exposed in consultation with director M S Sathyu," he says.

It was not just the video which needed work. The audio quality was dismal, with music levels suddenly escalating and drowning out the dialogue. The team which didn't want to go in for redubbing like Mughal-e-Azam, had the additional job of stabalising the sound. "We also had to remove imperfections like hiss, crackle, noise and buzz from sound recordings," he adds.

A bigger challenge was that the original sound was mono which wouldn't work with today's generation. Since there is no state-of-art sound scanning facility in India, an American studio, Delux Labs, was brought into the project. They split the mono sound into different tracks for surround sound effects. An additional process was also carried out to give depth to the sound. "What you'll hear now is Dolby digital sound. It was a process of learning for us too with no set parameters," says Deshpanday, adding that the process of sound restoration took over 100,000 man-hours.

Around 2,00,000 frames of 2K resolution were scrutinised by experts for over a year, with restoration and post-restoration taking up 5,00,000 man-hours. "And audio-video quality may not be at par with today's films, but it would match 2010 quality standards," Despanday exults proudly.

"It was a tricky, time-consuming and expensive job. All of us have incurred losses but the idea is not to make money but introduce the younger generation to a milestone in Indian cinema which raises issues that are still reverberating in different parts of the world. It's payback time for me, I plan to restore more classics as a social responsibility," he says.
