00:00You know your father's films which are socially relevant. Can you tell me a little bit about it?
00:14I think when this first picture was made, the first picture was made in one way.
00:21In one way there was a built-in message that a video re-marriage angle was built-in.
00:26But sometimes it doesn't have a built-in angle in the picture.
00:30My father made pictures because they were socially relevant.
00:34He made a good picture. He made an entertaining picture.
00:38But he thought that in the picture there is a message.
00:46In every story there is no message.
00:48So you need to express that message in our hands a strong medium.
00:53It's an audio-visual medium that actually impacts people on the people.
00:59So it's obvious that if we use it, it's a good way to use it.
01:03It's going to be entertainment.
01:05But it will also be something else to say.
01:07And what happens is that the picture remains more than a day.
01:11Look, Daddy was a very good director.
01:15But the pictures of Daddy's pictures remember them.
01:20They don't remember the other pictures.
01:22That's why it was a third dimension.
01:25Do you have any questions in your films?
01:29Basically, whatever I learned from my father.
01:32My father is also my guru.
01:34So whatever I learned from him,
01:36I feel that we have a beautiful and powerful medium.
01:41So the right usage of that medium is very important.
01:45So I also want to say that wherever I can tell my pictures,
01:51I will not leave it back.
01:53Your Daddy started as a journalist.
01:56So how did a journalist become a director of a film director?
02:00Do you know?
02:01Yes, I have some ideas.
02:03Basically, I was a journalist.
02:05So it's obvious that when a man is connected with a film,
02:09I feel like I will do something about the film.
02:14This was going on, but nothing happened.
02:17There was a partition.
02:18So I left everything here.
02:20When he came here,
02:21everyone thought that they would do a work.
02:23So Daddy made a picture.
02:26His name was Kervert.
02:27He was a partner.
02:29And another director made a picture.
02:33I don't remember the name of the director.
02:35But another director made a picture.
02:37He made a picture.
02:38He made a picture.
02:39Unfortunately, that picture didn't come out.
02:41And there was such a time that Daddy thought,
02:44that we will go back to Delhi.
02:46In Delhi, there was a job in the Hindustan Times.
02:49There was a job in Delhi.
02:51There was no money.
02:53There was no money.
02:54So he thought that we will go there.
02:56Then there was a friend of Daddy.
02:58He was a distributor in Lahore.
03:02He came to Bombay.
03:04And he took the right rights for Pakistan.
03:07Then he said,
03:08Why did you do this picture?
03:10It was a flop.
03:11He said,
03:12I don't have a loss.
03:13So when the money came out,
03:14then he thought,
03:15I don't go there.
03:16I don't go there.
03:17I don't go there.
03:18So when I lost my money,
03:19I said, I'm going to get the money back again.
03:21So, you know, the whole stuff started.
03:25The struggle started all over again.
03:27One day,
03:29Daddy was sitting there.
03:31Persian Daddy,
03:33which is the talk of the town.
03:36He was sitting there.
03:38And one of his friends,
03:42who was a financier,
03:43said,
03:44Daddy said,
03:45What are you doing?
03:46Daddy said,
03:47I have decided to make a story.
03:48I want to make a story.
03:49I want to make a story.
03:50And that is how he got the money for the first film.
04:15That's what Afsana was made.
04:17That was his first.
04:19Aki Raasta is actually BR films.
04:21BR films ka agaz Aki Raasta se hoa tha.
04:24Daddy ke career ka agaz se hoa tha.
04:27Tell me,
04:30when that film,
04:32Karwat didn't do well,
04:33was he very disappointed?
04:34Very, very.
04:35You see,
04:36basically, Daddy is a very emotional kind of person.
04:37So,
04:38woh,
04:39ghabrathe daada.
04:40Actually,
04:41he shahed thwoda sa chopras mein hai.
04:42Heer shangal bhi vayasai hai.
04:43Thwoda sa mein bhi vayasai hi ho.
04:44To,
04:45hum,
04:46I think,
04:47failure
04:48unfortunately,
04:49that is a part of life.
04:50Koi picture chalegi,
04:51koi picture nahin chalegi.
04:52Mager,
04:54jab,
04:55jab,
04:57flop hoti hai hai,
04:58picture.
04:59To,
05:00kahi pe hum sab,
05:01bade,
05:02take it as a personal failure.
05:03To,
05:04not a good thing,
05:05mager,
05:06that's a failure.
05:07Afsanah me you had Ashok Kumar.
05:08Haan ji.
05:09No,
05:10Afsanah me you had Ashok Kumar.
05:11Yes.
05:12Wahan se,
05:13you had an association with Ashok Kumar for very long time.
05:14Right till the last day.
05:15Yes.
05:16Can you tell me a little bit about your dad's association?
05:17See,
05:18actually his association with,
05:19Haan.
05:20Actually,
05:21his association with Ashok Kumar for very long time.
05:24Right till the last day.
05:25Yes.
05:26Can you tell me a little bit about your dad's association?
05:28See,
05:29Actually,
05:30his association with,
05:31Haan.
05:32Actually,
05:33his association with Ashok Ji,
05:34was a very interesting association.
05:37When,
05:38Afsanah's backing got,
05:40money got,
05:41picture made,
05:42so,
05:43Daddy went to Ashok Ji.
05:44Ashok Ji said,
05:45you are a new director,
05:46you have never done work before.
05:47He said,
05:48no.
05:49So,
05:50I will double pay.
05:51So,
05:52Daddy has done it.
05:53And,
05:54the first day,
05:55shooting,
05:56the first shot,
05:58Daddy said,
05:59no,
06:00just like you are doing it,
06:01it doesn't look good.
06:02He did it.
06:03So,
06:04Dadamuni got angry.
06:06And,
06:07he went to his house and sat down.
06:09So,
06:10everyone was confused.
06:13Everyone said,
06:14that the picture will be closed.
06:15Because,
06:16the heroines will not work.
06:17After half an hour,
06:19Ashok told Daddy to his house.
06:21And,
06:22he said,
06:23I have,
06:24I have,
06:25I have,
06:26I have,
06:27seen,
06:28seen,
06:29and,
06:30from your own.
06:32And,
06:33I think,
06:34what you are saying is correct.
06:35We are friends.
06:36And,
06:37what do you name is?
06:38You are a new friend.
06:39He said,
06:40what do you name is?
06:41He said,
06:42what do you name is?
06:43He said,
06:44I will name you.
06:45And,
06:46there were very few people in film industry,
06:48who called Daddy to the name of Dad.
06:49And,
06:50there was one last one.
06:52And,
06:53what,
06:54did they make a lot of films together?
06:55Yes,
06:56they made a lot of pictures.
06:57Look,
06:58Afsana,
06:59Aki Raasta,
07:00Dhulka Pool,
07:01Dharamputra,
07:02Dhund,
07:03Gumra.
07:04They made a lot of pictures.
07:06Actually,
07:07Daddy,
07:08if you see,
07:09he worked with him.
07:11He worked with him.
07:12He worked with him.
07:13Sunil Dutt uncle,
07:14he made a lot of pictures.
07:16So,
07:17I think that is his temperament.
07:19Yes.
07:20Your daddy,
07:21as a person,
07:23non-controversial,
07:25very peace loving.
07:26Yes.
07:27But,
07:28his film was completely full of controversies.
07:31Yes.
07:32Would you tell us a little bit?
07:34See,
07:35Nayadaar was again a very interesting story.
07:37Nayadaar's story,
07:38actually,
07:39Akhtar Mirza sahab,
07:41Kardaar's story,
07:43and he said,
07:44that there is a story,
07:45which I am going to listen to Raja Kapoor.
07:48So,
07:49I will listen to you too.
07:51So,
07:52Daddy said,
07:53how did he listen?
07:54He listened to the story.
07:55He listened to the story,
07:56and he said,
07:57if you don't have this story,
07:59then you can give me.
08:01So,
08:02he went there.
08:03Raja sahab,
08:04the story wasn't good.
08:05So,
08:06he came back,
08:07and he signed him.
08:08As he signed him,
08:09he said,
08:10that he was making a picture.
08:11So,
08:12Mehbub sahab,
08:13he also rejected the picture.
08:15I remember,
08:16I was a little child.
08:17I was going to school.
08:18I was going to school.
08:19And,
08:20in the morning,
08:21there was a horn on the car.
08:22So,
08:23he looked down,
08:24Mehbub's uncle.
08:25So,
08:26he said,
08:27your father is on top.
08:28So,
08:29Daddy went down.
08:30And,
08:31it was about 7.30,
08:328.20.
08:33So,
08:34Dad went down.
08:35He said,
08:36you are making a picture.
08:37Where are you making a picture?
08:38He said,
08:39you are making a picture.
08:40It's a documentary picture.
08:41Don't make it.
08:42So,
08:43Dad said,
08:44I want to make confidence.
08:46He said,
08:47okay,
08:48I made confidence.
08:49But,
08:50I don't like that picture.
08:51He said,
08:52I was making a picture.
08:53I was making a picture.
08:54I was making a picture.
08:55I was making a picture.
08:56I was making a picture.
08:57I was making a picture.
08:58I was making a picture.
08:59I was making a picture.
09:00I was making a picture.
09:01I was making a picture.
09:02I was making a picture.
09:03I was making a picture.
09:04I was making a picture.
09:05I was making a picture.
09:06I was making a picture.
09:08I was making a picture.
09:09About the doorstep.
09:10They were standing seated.
09:11And they said,
09:12you are making a picture.
09:13I was making a picture.
09:14This person standing here.
09:15This person is better direction.
09:16They are the best director.
09:18And we are the best director.
09:19Because no one could think
09:21that this picture can be so good.
09:22And he has more beautiful pictures.
09:24And the whole industry
09:25has rejected this picture.
09:27To me,
09:28I will give a offer.
09:29Then I will give you a happiness.
09:30to say that when it's a silver lining, it will give trophies trophies.
