Desh Main Nikala Hoga chaand !
Yet another example of a lady director ? Aruna Irani.
History & Background : In spite of working in two films opposite Amitabh Bacchan , she landed up with the role of vamps ! Why ? coz? probably the Directors thought that she looks vampish ? cunning, cruel, calculating etc. It must have hurt her deep within. That see could not shine as a heroine.
In the movie Bombay to Goa, she had worn a swim suit which was definitely very provocative at that point of time ? it was?nt a bikini ? like heroines now a days wear ? but the cuts and slits were such remarkably given by the fashion designer , that will put the bikini clad to shame ! SO Aruna Irani ? a woman who could not make it big as a heroin in bollywood ? later consoled herself in Motherly roles to heros.
But do you think she can forget her insult of Adulthood? No!
Thus Pammi, (a Bengali girl I believe !) in ?The Moon must have come out in good old country? never gets any respite.. in spite of Dev Mallick?s true blue love ? Annu (khalnayika) ? sees to it that she messes up her life !
The character of vamp Anu is more accentuated in fact , in this serial ? such serials show one thing in common : the USP (Unique Selling Proposition) is :
Indian Good women, who believe in culture and religion and pursue their dreams of waiting for the one true love ? the man of her heart with whom she will live happily ever after ? ie. The one who is pure, chaste, innocent is basically DUMB ! failing to understand what is happening around her ? ever forgiving, calm in spite of 101 jhamelas (problems), patient, weeping silently, swallowing pain pills one after the other !!
how does she look like ? Vermillion smeared hair parting, pinned cotton saaree, docile looks, downcast eyes, eyes often filled with tears , serving in-laws like her own parents, daughter?s parents crying all the time ? thinking what had they done to deserve such a son-in-law !
Whereas the vamps and trouble creators are dressed in little more that brassieres and little more than G-strings and creating a whole lot of danga-fasaad in the entire house hold! ? no one is able to handle the current generation imps?and pimps ! Parents have given up hope and are totally depending on the newly wed Indian Good Woman (refer point 1 for definition) to handle the situation ! ? who in turn handles the situation by begging, crying, weeping ?falling at their feet and requesting the imps not to : be greedy for family inheritance, be at the discotheque till late hours, be boozing and smoking and getting drugged, be smooching & kissing available semi-clad nudies as father & mother in-law will never accept such a club goer as their younger daughter ?in-law ! blah- blah !!
Loo- behold ? the worst fear comes true ! the semi-clad nudie - the devar ji used to be around with/ had been dating ? becomes the younger Daughter-in-law ! heaven breaks loose for the males of the family and hell breaks loose for the females of the family !BUT the Indian Good Woman continues to be her good self ? and the serial comtinues ?until the Doordarshan authorities loose all their patience !
Anyways, Aruna brings a twist in the tale ? the most controversial debate of the era ? ?Is their life after death?? / ?Did Lord Krishna say the truth when he said to Arjuna in Kurukshetra -the soul is immortal?
In the next life - Pammi becomes bold...and bhootni-fool !
Hence Aruna Proved the existence of life after death ! and why human behave the way they do !
