Last night every one went to meet relatives so i was the only one who had total control over the TV Remote. After having dinner tuned some news channel but every channel was busy with rape, blame n politics which was too much. I'm damn sure you can't live happy life by watching news channels daily. So i moved towards movie channels & every channel was playing same movie they already shown many times. After struggling for an hour i got stuck on Zee Classic playing old movie 'Piya Ka Ghar' staring by Jaya Bachchan. The movie is very simple but fast. It doesn't stuck at any point, no fight, no unnecessary drama. I guess most part of the movie revolves in a small room which turned into 1 BHK. In this room an old couple with their three sons n their 2 wives tries to live happy life.
Malti a wealthy villagers girl marries to a second boy & enters the family who lives in Mumbai Chawl. This newly married couple doesn't have their own bedroom so at night Kitchen get turns into their bedroom which was not just a fine to spend a night for the couple. Kitchen has a window which doesn't get closed. Such window is just an open door for chawl noise & light. Actor finally close it by removing his shirt but he couldn't get rid of radio noise. Finally they decided to sit on bed & once they sit on bed, बेड कर-कर करणे लगता है. और कुच किये बिना ही बेड का आवाज सुनकर भाभी हस देती है. So they remove bed & got sleep on floor. Soon noise & light from open window disturb them. Each day gets spoiled & they doesn't come together. Later she tells her hubby to sleep outside of the house.
एकंदरीत काय तर एका छोट्या खोलीत joint family सोबत राहून निवांत वेळ घालवण्यासाठी धडपडणाऱ्या जोडप्याची कथा म्हणजेच - पिया का घर. सिनेमा पाहताना फार मजा येते. कसे आणि कधी एकदा हे दोघे एकत्र येतात याची मनाला फार उस्तुकता लागून राहते. मुंबईचा तो रेट्रो लूक, ती BEST, local train आणि त्या काळातल्या मोठ्या-मोठ्या इमारती मस्त वाटतात. शेवटी मालती जी मुंबईत एकांत शोधत असते ती गावी जाण्याचा निर्णय घेते आणि घरातल्या प्रत्येकाला आपली चूक लक्षात येते. वयस्कर आई-वडील तीर्थ यात्रेला जाण्याचा निर्णय घेतात, भाऊ-वाहिनी घर सोडून जायला तयार होतात. शेजारचे लोक नवीन घर घेण्यासाठी पैसे द्यायला तयार होतात. या सर्वांचे प्रेम पाहून मालती गावी जाण्यास नकार देते आणि उर्वरित आयुष्य त्याच घरात सुखाने घालवते. Every character done a great work. Jaya Bacchan was just awesome as a Malti. Song 'ये जीवन है, इस जीवन का
यही है, यही है, यही हैं रंगरूप' hails from this movie. Here is the wiki link fo this movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piya_Ka_Ghar. खरंच जया बच्चनने खूपचं छान रोल केला आहे. आपल्या बायकोसाठी आणलेला गजरा तिच्या केसांत लावायलाही त्या बिचारयाला किती कष्ट करावे लागतात याचे आणि अश्या अनेक प्रसंगाचे चित्रण अतिशय सुंदर आहे. कधी वेळ मिळाला आणि टीवी वर लागला तर जरूर बघा..!!!
