Remembering Meena Kumari on her 45th death anniversary.

Meena Kumari (1 August 1933 – 31 March 1972), born Mahjabeen Bano, was an Indian film actress, singer and poet under the pseudonym "Naaz".

Meena Kumari is also known as The Tragedy Queen of Indian cinema. Kumari is regarded as one of the greatest actresses to have appeared on the screens of Hindi cinema. During a career spanning 30 years from her childhood to her death, she starred in more than 90 films of variety of genres, many of which have achieved classic and cult status today such as Pakeezah, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Mere Apne, Aarti, Baiju Bawra, Parineeta, Dil Apna Aur Preet Parai, Foot Path, Char Dil Char Rahen, Daera, Azaad, Miss Mary, Sharada, Dil Ek Mandir, Kaajal, Chirag Kahan Roshni Kahan, Majhli Didi, Phool Aur Patthar, Bhabhi Ki Chudiyan, Yahudi, Halaku, Baadbaan and Kohinoor. Kumari was also a playback singer, as a child artist till 1945, later as an actress and as a heroine in Duniya Ek Sarai , Piya Ghar Aaja and Bichchade Balam.

Vinod Mehta (the biographer of Meena Kumari) was told by a director, "Even Dilip Kumar (the tragedy king) found it difficult to keep his calm in front of her." Raaj Kumar would often forget his dialogues while working with Meena Kumari on set. Madhubala was also a fan of Meena Kumari and said, ‘She has the most unique voice. No other heroine has it.’ Satyajit Ray described Kumari as "undoubtedly an actress of the highest calibre". Meena Kumari empathized greatly with Marilyn Monroe the fact that Marilyn's husband, Arthur Miller, had some passing similarities to Meena's husband Kamal Amrohi, made the identification closer. It is said throughout her life, Meena Kumari had a love–hate relationship with movies.

Meena Kumari won four Filmfare awards in the Best Actress category and was the first recipient of the inaugural 1st Filmfare 1954 best actress award for Baiju Bawra with a consecutive win in 2nd Filmfare 1955 for Parineeta. Kumari made history at the 10th Filmfare 1963 by receiving all of the nominations for Best Actress and won for her performance in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam. On 13th Filmfare 1966 Kumari won her last best actress Filmfare award for Kaajal.

The greatest hallmark of Meena Kumari lied in her ability to depict the struggle of Indian women existing specially in the 50s and 60s, Kumari Onscreen Persona is described as a perfect example of real traditional Bharatiya Nari by the Indian film fraternity like Mohammed Zahur Khayyam and Javed Akhtar. Kumari gained a reputation for playing grief-stricken and tragic roles, and her performances have been praised and reminisced throughout the years. Like Kumari portrayed of Pakeezah under Kamal Amrohi's direction became historical piece of document. In her performances, beauty, aristrocracy, tragedy, personality all blended into one. Her role as Chhoti Bahu, in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam is considered one of the best performances in Indian Cinema. Chhoti Bahu a role dangerously close to Kumari's own tragic life, like the character of Chhoti Bahu, in real life Meena Kumari also became addicted to alcohol. Kumari life and prosperous career were marred by heavy drinking, troubled relationships, an ensuing deteriorating health, and her death from liver cirrhosis in 1972. Follow Bollywoodirect

She was the self-anointed tragedy queen of the Indian marquee, what with her roles mirroring her life and vice-versa. Meena was born as Mahjabeen Bano in 1932 to a family of poor theatre artistes. She was made to act as a child artiste and was the sole earner for her family from the age of six. Her first film was Vijay Bhatt’s Leatherface (1939). It was Bhatt again who gave her Baiju Bawra (1952), the film which catapulted her into the limelight. She became the first recipient of the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her performance. She’s popularly known as the ‘tragedy queen’ after playing a suffering woman in films like Parineeta (1953), Daera (1953), Ek Hi Raasta (1956), Sharda (1957), Dil Apna Aur Preet Parayi (1960), Dil Ek Mandir (1963) and Kaajal (1965). She created history during this period by being the only nominee for the Filmfare Award in 1962, for her roles in Aarti, Main Chup Rahungi and Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam. She won the award for Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam. Despite the tragedy queen tag, she was also noted for light-hearted comedic roles in films like Azaad (1955), Miss Mary (1957), Shararat (1959) and Kohinoor (1960). Her personal life was fraught with heartburn. She married director Kamaal Amrohi, her senior by 15 years in 1952 when she was just 20. The initial awe she felt towards the intellectual Amrohi soon faded and the couple started having problems. It’s said that Amrohi couldn’t stand his wife’s rising popularity and started mistreating her. The differences led to separation in 1960 and finally to divorce in 1964. The couple did reconcile to finish Pakeezah (1972) (which was started way back in 1956) but the relationship had lost its charm and they separated again. The actress died amidst penury due to complications arising from liver cirrhosis in 1972.

With Raj Kapoor in Sharda Sharda (1957) This is one of those films where the filmmakers were really ahead of their time. Meena Kumari excelled as Raj Kapoor’s lover forced by circumstances to marry his father (no kidding!). How she reforms the heartbroken and alcoholic stepson might seem a bit melodramatic but is saved from being a farce by forceful acting by both Meena and Raj. Baiju Bawra (1952) Meena Kumari started the martyred woman journey with this musical bonanza of a movie. She was so much in love with Baiju that she even separated from him so that the pain could elevate his music. That’s taking the ‘pain, no gain’ maxim to its limits. A young Meena Kumari played the perfect foil to the debonair Bharat Bhushan and won plaudits for her performance. Parineeta (1953) Move over, Vidya Balan. Meena Kumari was the original Parineeta in the Bimal Roy classic and won her second Filmfare Award for her power packed performance. Her body language, her hurt and anguish when judged wrongly by her fiancée (Ashok Kumar) and the confrontational scenes between the two lead actors formed the crux of the film.

Ek Hi Raasta (1956) Made by the progressive director BR Chopra, the film dealt with the sensitive issue of widow-remarriage, quite a bold theme at the time. The complications that arise when Meena goes into a new relationship with Ashok Kumar are thoughtfully portrayed. The actress’ interactive scenes with her young son (played by Daisy Irani) are a delight.

Miss Mary (1957) People who perceive that Meena Kumari is just a tragedienne will do a rethink when they see Miss Mary. She was paired opposite Rekha’s father Gemini Ganesan and Kishore Kumar also played an important role in the film. It centered around the lost-child-found-again formula and it’s good to see Meena doing a happy-go-lucky role. Her comic timing is impeccable.

Dil Apna Aur Preet Parayi (1960) Doctor-nurse romance anybody? This film was straight out of some Mills and Boon novelette. Meena Kumari played a nurse who suffers unrequited love. Raaj Kumar plays a hard working doctor who marries Nadira for the love of money. And Nadira plays a scorned wife who makes everyone’s life a merry hell. It’s what we call a 12 hanky film. Ajeeb daasatan hai yeh from the film still rules the air waves. Main Chup Rahungi (1962) It’s another of those unwed mother dramas. Sunil Dutt plays her paramour who later suspects her of being a woman of loose character. How the misconception is cleared and the lovers reunite and the child gets a fresh pair of parents forms the crux of this overemotional film.

Kohinoor (1960) It’s a regular Errol Flynn swashbuckler set in India. Dilip Kumar was advised to play light-hearted roles by Harley Street shrinks and Kohinoor was the answer. Both Meena and Dilip had a glad time letting their hair down and it shows. The film confirmed that the tragedy queen and king can act better than anybody else against the type too.

Aarti (1962) If Dil Apna Aur Preet Parayi was about a scorned wife raising hell, then Aarti is about a jilted lover creating misery for his ex. Ashok Kumar brought his villainous side to the fore and Pradeep Kumar played the suffering husband. Meena Kumari played the emotional punching bag which both men abused with much gusto. It’s a weepy to end all weepies.

Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962) This film came close to mimic Meena Kumari’s real-life trauma. The attraction to younger men, the apathy of the husband, rampant alcoholism – you couldn’t decide where Choti Bahu ended and Meena Kumari began. It gives one goosebumps every time one watches a rerun on TV. It’s considered her best performance till date. She won a well-deserved Filmfare Award for it.

Phool Aur Patthar (1966) He removed his shirt and a nation sighed. Dharmendra’s licence as a sex-symbol got stamped anew in the scene where we think we might get to see some hanky-panky between Meena and him. There were rumours that there was real-life romance going on between the actors during the making of the film. Dil Ek Mandir (1963) Meena Kumari seems to revel in doctor dramas. Here, Rajendra Kumar plays a conscience-stricken doctor who is in a dilemma of whether or not to save the life of his ex-flame’s husband. Watch the scene where Raaj Kumar wants to reenact the suhagraat on his hospital bed. Meena Kumari’s face is a canvass of emotions. The film also has an interesting ham heart attack scene by Rajendra Kumar, but that’s another story. Kaajal (1965) After Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Meena Kumari again falls prey to a debauched husband. This is mostly a reprise of the earlier film and this time the platonic relationship with a younger man more pronounced in the sense that Dharmendra plays her raakhi brother. Choo lene do naazuk hothon ko, where Raaj Kumar extols the virtues of alcohol to his horror-struck wife remains glued to the memory. She won a Filmfare Best Actress Award for her performance. Mere Apne (1971) Meena Kumari plays an old woman who is shunned by her family. She becomes a foster-mother of sorts to two factions of warring local youths. Her death makes them realise that violence doesn’t pay. Meena wasn’t yet 40 when she did the film but yet shone as s septuagenarian. She came up with a strong portrayal of an old woman caught between two street gangs of frustrated, unemployed youth, whose killing finally makes them realise the futility of violence in Gulzar's directorial debut.

Pakeezah (1972) Pakeezah started out way back in 1956. Then differences emerged between Kamal Amrohi and wife Meena. Even then, after all those years, the magic of the story didn’t fade. Everyone loves a golden-hearted courtesan, so you can only nod in sympathy when Raaj Kumar fell for her. And claps again when the besotted lover wants to marry her. The great music by Ghulam Mohammed is still remembered today. And so is the line, ‘Aapke paon dekhe. Bahut haseen hain. Inhe zameen par nahin utariyega. Maile ho jaayenge.’ Sigh! They don’t make such films any more. from filmfares https://ift.tt/2vyf8L1
