Vidhu Vinod Chopra's classic movie of 35 years ago: Parinda
The film 'Twelfth Fail', directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, won the best film award at this year's Filmfare Awards. Thirty-five years ago in 1989, the same director made a big splash in Bollywood by directing a powerful Hindi film. This movie was 'Parinda'. The film featured Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar and Madhuri Dixit in lead roles. Vidhu Vinod Chopra studied at Pune Film Institute and made some amazing films there. In the year 1985, he made an amazing film named 'Khamosh'. But because he got good distributors, the film did not go well in front of the audience.
After that, Chopra
decided to make a commercial film but he decided not to give up on realism
while making this film. This film was based on the lives of two Mumbai
gangsters Loosely Ashwin and Amar Naik. He had decided from the beginning
to cast Anil Kapoor in the film. But when they started thinking about who
should play the role of his elder brother, the first name that came to their
mind was Amitabh Bachchan. But at that time Amitabh was busy in politics,
so he politely refused.
After that, Nasruddin Shah, Suresh Oberoi, Ajit Vacchani were also considered for this role. Naseer had acted in the film 'Khamosh' but the chemistry between the two did not match. Kumar Gaurav was also thought to play the role of Anil Kapoor's elder brother. But the romantic image of Kumar Gaurav came to the fore here. Later Anil Kapoor suggested Jackie Shroff. Both of them had worked together in many movies. At the same time, the shoot of Subhash Ghai's 'Ram Lakhan' was going on. But Jackie refused to work.
Once when Anil Kapoor
and Jackie Shroff were traveling in a car, Anil Kapoor hummed a tune and
immediately Jackie asked him what song he was humming. Anil Kapoor said,
'This song is yet to be made. But the song is going to be in the upcoming
film I'm doing." “Which movie?” asked Jackie. Anil Kapoor said,
"The film you rejected!" Jackie Shroff slapped his forehead. He
said, "Oh man, if this movie has such a beautiful song, then this movie
will definitely be good." Then Anil Kapoor fixed Jackie Shroff's
meeting with Chopra. Jackie heard the plot of the film and
agreed. But still he called up Anil Kapoor and said, "One day I will
be out of Bollywood playing your elder brother!" Anil Kapoor said,
"That's not going to happen."
Nana Patekar was an important character in this movie. The Anna he portrayed was a villainous terror. How did Nana Patekar get this role? Once Vidhu Chopra was watching the play 'Purush' written by Jaywant Dalvi at the Shivaji temple in Mumbai. Seeing Nana's role in it, he fell in love with Nana and signed for the film. Dimple was first thought of as Anil Kapoor's heroine, but after the release of 'Tejab', Anil Madhuri's pairing became hugely popular, and Madhuri entered the cinema.
The film was completed
in just sixty-six days. Natural light was used for this film. It was
a completely new genre for Hindi cinema. The cinematography of this movie
was done by Binod Pradhan. Nana Patekar's Joe Adda is shown in this film; He
belongs to a slum in Antop Hill area of Mumbai. Vidhu Vinod Chopra
rented the place from Mumbai Municipal Corporation. The film's music was
composed by RD Burman. The song for which Jackie accepted the film after
listening to the tune was 'Tumse Matalan Aisa Laga Tumse
Matalan….' Actually this song was picturized on Anil Kapoor and Madhuri
Dixit in the movie. The plot of the movie was awesome. The screenplay
was moldy and confined. This film changed the face of Bollywood. The
film set the ideal example of how a realistic commercial movie should be.
