The Genesis V : God bless you, Hangal Saab
Hey guys,
Okay, am not going into the dissection of today's episode , simply because it was more about feeling , bonding and respect. It was such a warm and touchy feeling to see Hangal Sir after an entire lifetime ' we have seen him so many times in black and white films , in Eastman colours of 1960s-1970s and even 1980s. Saurabh Tiwari deserves a round of applause for thinking of a veteran senior artist like him and bringing him to the sets of Madhubala . He is 97 and he is ill ' so, lets hope and pray that rest of his life is at least easy and devoid of pain. Things are not easy for the artists of the black and white era and the Eastman era because during those times , they were on make-ends-meet salaries fixed by studios. You could make a living out of those pennies, not a life.
There is another tradition in the entertainment industry that the producers and writers brought out ' we touch the feet of our seniors and our mentors here, whenever see them. Its like ingrained in trainees and that respect stays forever. This was well reflected in the show as well. Kudos!
And yes, today is the day of Madhubala's genesis. Today ' 1st June in a fictitious gone by year of 1991 is her birthday. There are no lofty lines of prose that I can write on her birth ' it is just something you can see and understand that fate always waits round the corner , waiting for your time to fall into her lap. Today, everything fell into place ' the grand escape of Paddy from Ballu's clutches, her chance entry into film studios in Mumbai of all the places in the world , Paddy's acceptance of Roma, Shamsher and the junior artist chawl, Paddy's emotional and hand-of-fate Godh-Bharaai and finally, the birth of this future superstar on a film set with a actresses and film crew bringing her into the world. See that? This is how one fine day , the plan of destiny smiles at you as every single thing that you have been through , every single person that you have met falls into place.
The most foreshadowing moment was the switching on of those brilliant studio white lights and a still Madhu's feet and her body waking up to their warmth. She is born to live a life , sorry, a superlife that these studio lights will catch, witness and enhance to move to celluloid. And strangely , years later, when RK will lay his eyes on her , he will know it that she is meant to live a life that will be lit up by those brilliant white lights.
That's all.
Love and luck always,❤️
GOD bless everyone. 🤗
