Sunil Dutt(a tribute) - Page 2

These films obviously influenced Dutt greatly --- when he turned producer in the early sixties, it was with a couple of offbeat movies --- Yeh Raaste Hain Pyar Ke (1963), where heroine Leela Naidu has an adulterous relationship and Mujhe Jeene Do (1963) where he played a tough-as-nails dacoit. These films added to Dutt's reputation and commercial standing. His subsequent attempt at filmmaking, Yaadein (1964), where he was the only character in the film, however, was found to be too esoteric by most.

But by now Dutt had hit his peak as a star and was starring in a string of hits. A regular with the B R Chopra camp, he exuded style and sophistication in three of his sixties successes --- Gumraah (1963), Waqt (1965) and Humraaz (1967). Simultaneously, the disciplined Dutt was also a favourite with South Indian filmmakers which resulted in emotion-heavy, rural-based hits with Nutan like Khandaan and Milan.

Dutt's sartorial style was markedly different in both these genres of films, but they were all successful. In fact in 1967, he had a hat-trick of hits with Milan, Meherban and Humraaz.

Sunit Dutt's some memorable solo songs --

1. chalo ek baar phirase ajanabi ban jaye hum dono - Gumrah
2. jalate hai jisake liye - Sujata
3. aap ke pehelu mein aa kar ro diye - Mera Saya
4. teri ankhon ke siva duniya mei rakha kya hai - Chirag
5. yeh vadiyan yeh fizaen bula rahi hain tumhe - Aaj Aur Kal
6. matwali naar thumak thumak chali jaaye - Ek Phool Char Kante
7. mere samane wali khidaki mein - Padosan
8. hey neele gagan ke tale dharti ka pyaar pale - Hamraz
9. radhike tune bansuri churayi - Beto Bete
10. raam kare aisa ho jaye meri nindiya tohe mil jaaye - Milan
11. rang aur noor ki baaraat kise pesh karoon - Ghazal
12. tum agar saath dene ka vaada karo - Hamraz

Dutt sportingly playing the buffoon in Mehmood's Padosan (1968) and this was his last hit for a while. The Rajesh Khanna wave and a chain of indifferent films put him in the sidelines. Furthermore, his ambitious home production, the blood-splattered desert love story, Reshma Aur Shera (1971), proved a commercial disappointment entailing financial troubles for the star.

Just like in a roller coaster Hollywood biography, Dutt's luck turned radically soon afterwards. He had agreed to play negative, albeit still central, roles in Geeta Mera Naam and 36 Ghante (both 1974) but with three consecutive successes --- Heera, Geeta Mera Naam, Pran Jaye Par Vachan Na Jaaye --- in late 1973 and early 1974, Dutt was back in the saddle. Many of his subsequent seventies films were action adventures with scant emphasis on quality.

Still, hits like Zakhmee (1975), Nagin (1976) and Jaani Dushman (1979) ensured that Duttsaab, as he was now called, was busy in the studios often romancing much-younger heroines like Rekha (Nagin, Ahimsa) and Reena Roy (Paapi, Jaani Dushman).

In 1981, Dutt's world was rocked when his wife Nargis passed away despite a protracted battle with her cancer. In the same year, his production, Rocky, starring his son Sanjay, hit the screens. Subsequently, Dutt threw himself into an emotional film about cancer called Dard Ka Rishta (1983) and into politics and social work.

Since then, Sunil Dutt has greeted the ups and downs in his life with an exhibition of sheer grit and stoicism.

Rich tributes were paid to noted actor and the Congress leader Sunil Dutt on his second death anniversary in Mumbai on Saturday.

Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi, Power Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, AICC general secretaries Ashok Gehlot, Mohsina Kidwai, Mukul Wasnik, Minister of State in the PMO Prithviraj Chavan, Maharashtra Congress President Prabha Rau offered floral tributes to the late leader and spoke about his contribution to the party and development work for the upliftment of the poor.

The Speakers recalled their close associations with late Mr. Dutt and said he symbolised the ideology of the Congress of secularism and upliftment of the poor and the needy. ''His social work enabled him to win the Lok Sabha elections for five consecutive times,'' they said.

To mark the second death anniversary, Priya Dutt who now represents the Mumbai North West parliamentary constituency, organised a daylong workers' convention of the district Congress. AICC Chief Sonia Gandhi lauded the effort of Ms Dutt and also read out a message on the occasion.

The Speakers advised the party workers to imbibe Dutt Saab's ideals of promoting peace and secularism. ''Congress shuns casteism and religious bias,'' they added.

Speaking on the occasion, Priya said she was deeply influenced by her father in the public life. ''But, we are two different individuals and have different working styles. My father worked with honesty and sincerity for the Congress and promoted peace and secularism. His constituency was the entire country,'' she added.

A two-minute film on the life and times of Sunil Dutt was also screened on the occasion.

Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt , who had to be present at the TADA court, which was delivering its judgment in the 1993 Mumbai Bomb Blasts case, attended the afternoon session to pay tributes to his late father.
