Hazaaron Khwahishen Aisi
hazaaroN KHwahishaiN 'eisee ke har KHwahish pe dam nikle
bohot nikle mere armaaN lekin phir bhee kam nikle
nikalna KHuld se aadam ka sunte aayaiN haiN lekin
bohot be_aabru hokar tere kooche se ham nikle
magar likhwaaye koee usko KHat, to hamse likhawaaye
huee subah aur ghar se kaan par rakhkar qalam nikle
mohabbat meiN naheeN hai farq jeene aur marne kaa
usee ko dekh kar jeete haiN jis kaafir pe dam nikle
zara kar jor seene par ki teer-e-pursitam nikle
jo wo nikle to dil nikle, jo dil nikle to dam nikle
KHuda ke waaste parda na kaabe se uThaa zaalim
kaheeN 'eisa na ho yaaN bhee wohee kaafir sanam nikle
kahaaN maiKHaane ka darwaaza 'GHalib' aur kahaaN waaiz
par itana jaante haiN kal wo jaata tha ke ham nikle
Probably one of Ghalib's most famous ghazals, but this post is not about Ghalib, its about the movie I just saw. The movie was titled "Hazaron Khwahishen Aisi" and was an apt reflection of the first sher of the above ghazal. The three protagnists of the story have there own desires to fulfil in life. The movie starts in DU, in the 70s, a time when the country was for the first time looking to have a ruling party at the helm other than the Congress Party. This is where we meet the three protagnists, a love triangle as might be expected. The story follows the lives of the three people who have there own amditions, desires and mindsets, sometimes similar but mostly contradicting. Ethics, desires, pain, anger, exploitation, motivation, ambition, success, victory, loss, I havent yet seen a movie from mainstream hindi cinema that has been able to express these emotions and feelings with such poignancy. After Sarkar and now this movie I have also developed new respect for KK Menon as an actor. A brilliant movie, whose box office run would be cut short by Bach ke Rehna ... and No Entry. Its a pity that even when mainstream cenima tries to be socially motivating we reject it. How much are we at fault for the soulless junk that is being produced for both the big and small screen. When we stop watching these films that give us nothing in terms of ideas and dont contribute to our mental advancement, thats when the crap movie bazaar will go out of buisiness. Nevertheless I appluad the producers who backed this movie. A very worthy attempt indeed.
