Double role of Jeetendra and Mumtaz in the movie 'Ya'

 Being in the media, without 'Dhyanimani', there is no telling when, which, one can walk up to a good opportunity... Mumtaz, who was enjoying herself in the world, made an unexpected comeback in the film industry. Seeing Mumtaz at a party in a five-star hotel in Juhu for the announcement of this film, I thought, why is she coming back to the screen when 'Naktya Nakacha To Tadka' is not attracting attention? After seeing the picture and flapping it, it was sealed. (Double roll)

But on the occasion of this picture, the grace of Pahlaj Nihalani gave a nice sum of independent interview of Mumtaz. When I learned yesterday's Mumtaz from today's Mumtaz, I got a huge shock. Mumtaz was saying, Shashi Kapoor, Jitendra, Dharmendra initially refused to accept me as a heroine while I was taking the next step as a heroine by moving as a junior dancer, a stunt movie heroine, a co-heroine in a mainstream film... (Double roll)

In this regard, she gave the example of 'Boond Jo Ban Gaye Moti' (1967). This is one of Jeetendra's early films. It had Rajshree as the heroine and Mumtaz had only one dance. Rajashree then wanted dates to play roles in other producers' films and so she approached her father Chitrapati V. As soon as Shantaram was given such an idea, he removed Rajshri from his film and cast Mumtaz as the heroine. She had done small roles in his movie Stree, Sehra and now she got promoted. It was precisely this that struck Jitendra and as he grumbled about this choice, V. Shantaram warns Jitendra himself, Mumtaz will be the heroine of this film and if she does not want, I will replace you with another hero. Jitendra had no choice but to remain silent.. Mumtaz said very heavy things. (Double roll)

Focusing on Jitendra and Mumtaz Jodi's 'Roop Tera Mastana' (released in Mumbai on 17 November 1972. Even though it has been almost fifty one years.. during that time the film was released in stages, so the film was released in some cities on 24 November 73 and thereafter) I remembered the meeting and the interesting thing she said in it. Jitendra and Mumtaz acted together in films like Jigri Dost (1969), Maa Aur Mamta, Toyoy, Himmat (Tinhi 1970), Kathputli, Chahat, Ek Nari Ek Brahmachari (Tinhi 1971) after 'Boond Jo..'. They were both in 'Naagin' (1976). But the roles were different.

Mumtaz then preferred the world and moved away from the film industry. She had long managed to stay away from the colorful world of cinema. She should not have come even during 'Andhiya'. Not all actresses are Vaijayanthimala or Rakhi. Clinging to the right and stubbornness to not want to put on face paint and never come in front of the camera no matter how many offers come…actually that's right. Played a nice innings. Bus done. Let's live a different life. The mind is not ready to accept this.

The special thing about 'Roop Tera Mastana' is the hero and heroine. Of course, both Jitendra and Mumtaz have dual roles. The producers of this film are Mohan Ali, M. M. Malhotra and Baldev Pushkarna. Directed by Khalid Akhtar. Story by Mohan Kaul, Screenplay by K. B. Lal and Ravi Kapoor. Dialogue Ehsan Rizvi. Lyrics by Anand Bakshi and Asad Bhopali. Sangeet Laxmikant is credited as Pyarelal. The central premise is that ambitious brute Ajit Singh (Pran) murders Princess Usha (Mumtaj) and replaces her with her lookalike Kiran (Mumtaj, in a double role). She is not ready for this at all. (Double roll)

But he wants to usurp Rajkumar's (Jitendra) property through her. He threatens Kiran and forces Kiran into a princess. In the company of Rajkumar, this 'fake' princess falls in love with him and the lookalike Raja Saab (Jitendrach again. double role) incarnates and a new drama ensues. At the end of the picture, the victory of truth and the death of the villain is decided. At that time, there was a formula that said 'If the end of the picture is sweet, then everything is sweet'.

Jeetendra Dekhna, who graces the screen in fitted panties and known as Jumping Jack in dance. He does all this. Mumtaz has joined the chemistry of good looks, acting and dancing with hard work to become a heroine in mainstream films. Hence her efforts to shine in every film. With the superhit success of Raj Khosla's 'Do Vashdi' (1969), she is now noticed by film buffs, the film industry and the media. Rajesh Khanna is a superstar during this time and Mumtaz is his favorite heroine, so she is also on tap. The pairing is great. Beautifully decorated too. Especially Prana in 'Roop Tera...'. (Double roll)

This is his last film as the insidious villain. He has been interested in character roles since 'Upakar' (1967) directed and starring Manoj Kumar. Manoj Kumar has left behind his silvery badass and given him a face of civility. However, Whelan's previously signed roles gradually dwindled and after 'Roop Tera Mastana', he moved into fairly decent roles. Besides Leela Mishra, Jankidas, V. Starring Gopal, Rajan Kapoor, Birbal, Madhumati, Kedarnath Saigal etc. Three songs from the film became hits. Dil Ki Baate (Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi), Haseen Dilruba (Mohammed Rafi), Bade Bewafaye Hai Yeh Husnawale (Mohammed Rafi).

Despite all this, the picture flopped. Public did not like this crime romance at all. Fans were not too interested to see the lavish divine sets (the palace of Rajkumar Rajkumari must be handsome and expensive) and the attractive dresses of Jitendra and Mumtaz. Due to the popularity of the songs, the matinee show, repeat run, got the picture crowded. I myself watched Taddev's repeat run at Diana Theater for these songs.(Double roll)
