Aadmi Theek Se Dekh Paata Naheen, Aur Parde Pe Manzar Badal Jaata Hai,
Ek Baar Chaley Jaate Hain Jo Din-Raat, Suboh-Shaam, Wo Phir Naheen Aate, Wo Phir Naheen Aate,
Zindagi Ke Safar Mein Guzar Jaate Hain Jo Makaam, Wo Phir Naheen Aate, Wo Phir Naheen Aate...

Is mod se jaate hain.... is loosely based on a poem written by Gulzar. It is said that the poem was written more in quiet angst than happiness. It was the time when his relationship with Rakhee was strained.

Us mod pe baitha hoon
jis mode se jaati hain
har ek taraf raahen...

Ik roz toh yoon hoga
jis mod pe baitha hoon
us mod pe aakar tum
ruk jaaogi, keh dogi
woh kaunsa raasta hai
jis raah se jaana hai...

Self - belief is the most potent force.

Suhas,

That poem set me thinking about just how much of autobiography you can read into a work of art... I never realised it before or maybe I am reading too much into it now but it does seem that Aandhi has fairly strong autobiographical elements in in.

Went back to Aandhi after years...Sanjeev Kumar is an amateur poet in the movie a fact that crops up at various points in the movie. and then I read a comment in some review of Meghna Gulzar's book on her father (which is apparently mentioned in the book) that Gulzar's fixed routines and his "lights-out-at-ten" schedule had provoked Rakhee to say "Agar aap shayar na hote to bade hi ordinary hote"

Check this out...

Suchitra on the phone listening to Sanjeev's recitation...wonderful love scene laced with just the right blend of realism and humor that comes alive in the perfect inflections brought to it by Sanjeev and Suchitra.


Sanjeev:
Aao tumko utha loon kandhon par
Tum uchak kar shareer hothon se
Choom lena ye chand ka matha...

Aaj ki raat dekha na tumne
Kaise jhuk jhuk ke kohiyon ke bal
Chand itna kareeb aaya hai...

Suchitra:Beautiful..wonderful..
Sanjeev: acchi hai na
Suchitra:Bahut hi acchi hai
Sanjeev:Pata hai... jab tum achha kehti ho... to bahut hi accha lagta hai.
Suchitra:Tumhari saath ye kavita na hoti na, to tum bahut hi ordinary aadmi hote.
Sanjeev:Kaise na hoti... barah saal ka tha jab mushairon mein padhna shuru kiya tha


(Btw, this "barah saal ki umr mein kar liya tha" is Sanjeev's pet brag line in the movie...)

Suchitra:Tumne Saare kaam barah saal ke umr mein kar liye the
Sanjeev: Haan saare kaam barah saal ke umr mein kar liye the...siwaye shaadi ke...
Suchitra: Woh kyun nahin kiya...
Sanjeev:Tum jo nahin mili warna woh bhi kar leta...
Suchitra:Bach gaye tum... nahin to kunware hi reh jaate...


This scene leads to the other classic duet of Aandhi

Tum Aa Gaye Ho Noor Aa Gaya Hai
Nahin to charagon se lau ja rahi thi
Jeene ki tumse vajah mil gayee hai
Badi bevajah zindagi ja rahi thi

Kahan se chale kahan ke liye
Ye Khabar nahin thi magar
Koi bhi sira jahan ja mila
Wohin tum miloge
Ki hum tak tumhari dua aa rahi thi

Din duba nahin raat dubi nahin
Jaane Kaisa hai safar
Khwabon ke diye aankhon mein liye
Wahin aa rahe the
Jahan se tumhari sada aa rahi thi

Tum aa gaye ho...


All the three magnificent duets of Aandhi are redolent with an intense sense of regret, of loss...not just the "Tere Bina Zindagi Se" song but even the two other songs that are used as romantic duets... For some reason I have always been disappointed with the picturization of the songs..."Ke hum tak tumhari dua aa rahi thi..." such an evocative song... beautifully sung and beautifully composed... seems rather wasted when used in a very ordinary way with Suchitra and Sanjeev strolling along some ruins or mountains with sundry, close-up shots of flowers or an eagle circling the sky...Similarly with the "Is mod Se Jaate Hain" song... the lyrics of the song are somewhat sombre "Ye soch ke baithi hoon/Ik raah to woh hogi/Tum tak jo pohachti hai... " similar in tone with the poem really (Ik roz toh yoon hoga/jis mod pe baitha hoon/us mod pe aakar tum/ruk jaaogi). It fits rather uncomfortably in the movie as a romantic duet...


While it is silly to look for exact parallels from Gulzar's life in Aandhi, the movie is heavy with the sense of a regret about a relationship gone wrong. The regret is expressed in the lyrics and dialogues and not really explored analytically in the movie...and for some reason the brouhaha over Aandhi's political parallels with Indira Gandhi's life mutes these other more personal parallels with Gulzar's life.
