Incidentally, on the same day, 48 years after the release of producer Ramesh Bahl’s film Jawani Diwani, his daughter Srishti Bahl, who is now the director of Netflix’s International Originals in India, also met her. The smile that appeared on Srishti’s face after hearing the film’s anniversary, is the real status of Ramesh Bahl. Neither Zanjeer was released nor Bachchan was associated with Jaya Bhaduri’s name. Both used to meet a lot. Sometimes hidden secretly and sometimes openly It was common for Amitabh Bachchan to arrive on the sets of Jaya Bhaduri’s films, but Jaya Bhaduri’s appearance in western clothes was not as common.
A homely, beautiful-looking girl who managed to make her mark in the film Guddi a year earlier, after doing a few Bengali films, she made her debut by coming to the film Jawani Diwani and for the first time also showed that Shokhani is just Not only beautiful fairies but domestic girls can also show. This film of Jaya Bhaduri and Randhir Kapoor is Jawani Divani, the film of our present-day Biscope. But, before taking the story forward today, you must watch this song because this song itself will help you to feel the soul of Jawani Divani.
So you saw Jaya Bhaduri! Long, thick, dark but wavy hair. How about waving her small doll in a disco wearing shirt pants and waving. When the hero read two verses in praise, the lips also started making circles. Hindi cinema, due to the films of the eighth and ninth decade, also created an image in which the heroine heroines were seen coming out of a particular groove. Stylish little hairstyles, colorful shining dresses, shirts strapped to the body and bellbottoms spreading from the waist down to the floor, wide leather belts at the waist and a dozen dozen dancers in the camera frame as soon as the song begins. The case looks similar in the beginning of the film Jawani Diwani, but the story is slightly different and the music is completely different.
If it is said that this film of Raj Kapoor’s elder son Randhir Kapoor, released in 1972, became a super hit due to its music, although the truth is that in today’s time, if you want to enjoy its music, then its Instead of watching videos, it would be better to listen to them because like all the best songs of Hindi cinema, the film’s bold and fearless songs were unable to move from their music. All the songs of the film are amazing to listen to. And it is these songs from the film that help Jawani Divani make a romantic comedy of a different place.
RD Burman showed his own style in the songs of this film. What Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle have shown in the film is a matter of hearing not telling. There is a song in the film, Jaane Jaan, am looking for you again day and night ..! The manner in which RD Burman composed this song by placing the vocals of Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle at opposite ends of the song in this song is a fine example of their artistry. Kishore Kumar has done a lot of good work in this song and he has done amazing work in both songs. He knows that these songs are to be shot on Rajesh Khanna and not Randhir Kapoor and that is why he brings a new mix in his special style and sings, Gili Gili Appa, Gili Gili Appa, Pili Pili Pili….
The film Jawani Diwani has not one but two stories of love and that too of two generations. Jaya Bhaduri changed both her look and her style in this film after making her mark with films like Guddi and Aapka. This time she was not a school-going Guddi, but rather a girl wearing a pair of dazzling, shiny saris or flashing kameez pants, which makes her feel flirted when she gets close. The second love story is that of Nirupa Roy in the film. Yes, Nirupa Roy with the same ‘I have a mother’ wall. Hardly you know about Nirupa Rai, the ancestral mother of Hindi cinema, that she started playing her mother in 1955. This film was Munimji and his son Dev Anand in this film was seven years younger than him.
But, here she is not a weeping mother. She is a mother, but if she gets a chance for a school going child, then she should be a little romantic with her husband, in the style of it, she also seems to be a sati. And, her husband is Balraj Sahni. Who would have thought that Kabuliwala and two bighas of land, Balraj Sahni, could also be the pivot of a romantic film, but the film Jawani Diwani’s dam explodes from his hard work.
Apart from Randhir Kapoor, Jaya, Nirupa and Balraj Sahni in the film, there is another character who remembers everyone who saw this film and that is Satyen Kappu, a friend of Randhir Kapoor in the film. Satyen Kappu has been a capable actor and here in this film he has done not once but thrice. He did what he did as a DJ, but the scene in which he goes to meet the teacher after becoming the father of Randhir Kapoor, the scene is worth watching. And, another scene in which Satyen Kappu appears on screen as a master of perfect performance is the scene in the film where he goes to meet Jaya Bhaduri’s father.
Before Jaya Bhaduri, this role was offered to Reema Sapru in the film. Reema later married Madhuri Dixit’s manager Rakesh Nath. Reema’s career was shattered by an accident even before it actually started. In that dreadful accident, Reema was killed in death, a deep injury to her face, for which she had to put 11 stitches and had to put a rod to heal a fracture in the leg. Due to this accident, Reema could not become a heroine and this role came as part of Jaya Bhaduri. The film Jawani Divani played a special role in setting the career of Randhir Kapoor. He then followed Ramesh Behl and appeared in most of his films.

Karisma Kapoor, daughter of Radhneer Kapoor, who was the heroine in this film, and Abhishek Bachchan, son of Jaya Bhaduri, came close after many years. However, later this relationship was shattered before being tied into marriage. 41 years later, Randhir Kapoor’s nephew, Ranbir Kapoor, worked in the song Ye Yewani Hai Deewani in the film of this film in 2013. All the songs of this film were hits and its songs were also instrumental in making Jawani Divani a hit.
The story of Jawani Diwani, divided between richness and poverty, has been written by Inder Raj Anand and the dialogues of the film have been written by Kader Khan. Yes, Kader Khan. You may be surprised to know that the Hindi film which Kader Khan wrote dialogues for the first time in his career was Jawani Divani, the romantic comedy film. Kadar was a professor then and used to do theater as an amateur. After watching a play, Narendra Bedi, the director of the film Jawani Diwani, invited him to write dialogues in films.
Kader Khan at first rejected working in films as a work of water, but later on Bedi’s much persuasion, he agreed to write Jawani Diwani’s dialogues. He got Rs 1500 for writing the dialogues of this film and he wrote the dialogues of the entire film in just four hours sitting in the cross ground of Bombay. Kader Khan’s theater guru felt very bad about this. Kader Khan says in an interview, “Seeing his displeasure, I promised him that I would never work in films now, but I broke this promise.” This much in today’s biscope, tomorrow we will talk about another Oldie Goldie … The series continues.
