00:42Oh! Bismillah!
00:45Now see, this is at everybody's risk.
00:50So, someone else also come with me.
00:53Naseer, you again?
00:55Hey, hey, come, millet, you come.
01:01Come, come.
01:05So, this is a memento of the Shyam Benegal family.
01:11Thank you. Thank you, Rajdeep.
01:14Thank you, Meera. Thank you.
01:17Meera, where is Meera?
01:21I just want to say truly welcome to Sajjanpur.
01:27And there's one more thing that I forgot to say, please.
01:30I'm on my knees, so I won't be telling lies.
01:33But I've never seen Shyam in a rage.
01:35Never, ever, ever.
01:37The most frustrated when I saw him.
01:40E-O-N-K-E, why does he?
01:47Friends, I knew that this is not the right time for this.
01:51Although we are celebrating Shyam Babu.
01:53But I had brought a copy to Mr. Javed.
01:55His name was written on it.
01:57He came from outside last night.
01:59And he saw the book at night.
02:01And he called me in the morning.
02:03Brother, I have just seen it, but it looks very good to see.
02:05Why don't you kind of open it here today?
02:08Shyam, come on in.
02:38The picture in front of you is very good.
02:40The picture is also very good.
02:44But the way he is looking at it is also very good.
02:50Mr. Shyam.
02:52Mr. Shyam, that's why it is said that you should pray.
02:54Then the stick will not go down.
02:56Mr. Govind.
02:58Who?
03:00Mr. Govind.
03:02Mr. Govind, please come.
03:05Let me tell you another incident about Govind Nilani.
03:09When he first saw me,
03:11Please listen to this, Neera.
03:14When Govind Nilani first saw me,
03:17I was sitting outside Shyam's office
03:20in torn jeans and a T-shirt.
03:23And he had one look at me
03:25and wrote to Girish Karnad.
03:27After looking all over the world,
03:30Shyam has found a rat
03:33to play Lakshmi.
03:36Three days later,
03:38I didn't know anything about it.
03:40Three days later, there was a scene that I was doing
03:43and he said,
03:45I really need to apologize.
03:47I told Shyam, he had chosen a rat.
03:50But you are really very good.
03:52Despite that, he never cussed me in the film.
03:57Okay.
03:59Mr. Govind, we apologize.
04:01He won't be able to come.
04:03But thank you, Govind.
04:05We know that you have been Shyam's idol.
04:20Shyam, there are a lot of people here
04:23who have worked with Shyam Benegal.
04:26Or wanted to work with him.
04:29I have a relationship with Shyam Benegal.
04:32Not only on a personal level,
04:34but I have written songs for three of his films.
04:37Usually, I don't write songs for his films.
04:39But when I worked with Sardari Begum,
04:41she was the main character of a singer.
04:44So, I had to write a song for her.
04:46I am honored that she thought about me
04:48and asked me to write a song for her.
04:50After that, I wrote a song for Zubaida.
04:52And Netaji Subhash Chauhan was a forgotten hero.
04:57These are the three films in which I wrote songs for him.
05:01Apart from these three films,
05:03which other films of Shyam sir
05:05did you personally like the most?
05:07I liked his films Ankoor, Nishant, Manthan.
05:12These were all great films.
05:14And when they were released,
05:16we had never seen Hindi-Mahdi films.
05:18So, I think that
05:20Shyam and I had a lot of Ankoor in our friendship.
05:26When I saw him in Ankoor,
05:28I always knew him.
05:30But I was born with respect for Ankoor in my heart.
05:34I always had a good relationship with Shyam Benegal.
05:39And writing lyrics for him was an experience.
05:43Because he wanted authentic lyrics.
05:46Just like they used to sing in the time of Sardari Begum.
05:51Thumriya, Kajriya.
05:53He had all these things.
05:55So, it was a strange experience to work with him.
06:00And what a gentleman he was.
06:03He was a very good actor.
06:05Sir, if I talk about today's times,
06:07such films are not made.
06:09And there are very few directors who can be seen.
06:12If I want to know,
06:14is there any director in whom you have seen his image?
06:17I think there are many boys and girls
06:20who are making very good films.
06:23Like Masaan, a very good film.
06:26Like Reema Kakhti has made a film,
06:29Super Boys of Malegaon.
06:31It's a very good film.
06:33There was a film called Udaan.
06:36So, such films were not made before Shyam Benegal.
06:41I would say that Shyam Benegal is a family man.
06:46So, he is making films.
06:48And he will make.
06:50He is making. It's not like that.
06:52Thank you, sir.
06:54It's difficult.
06:55So much can be said.
06:57He was an 18-year-old boy in a small town.
07:00He had seen Nishan.
07:02And then he understood that he should go in this medium.
07:06He not only taught him a way of cinema,
07:10but also made him aware of the life he was living.
07:15The faces, the common faces.
07:21Shyam Benegal taught everyone
07:23that there was a poetry in the ordinary face.
07:26That there was a poetry in ordinary life.
07:29That you could tell a story which is not spectacular,
07:34but be very moving.
07:36There was a two-sided perspective in every film.
07:42In every film, he was emotional,
07:47but not sentimental.
07:51He had a sense of humor.
07:55He used to look at life in a very interesting way.
07:59And there was a lament in his films
08:04that the better the world can be,
08:07the better it is not.
08:11The better we can be,
08:14the better we are not in our relationships.
08:18Why is this?
08:19His films showed this.
08:21I have learned a lot from him.
08:23He was my teacher, my friend, my mentor.
08:26He was a very humorous man.
08:30He did not take himself very seriously.
08:33He was so educated.
08:35The way he got to know you,
08:37you felt like you were having a conversation.
08:40Shyam Benegal never gave you a lecture.
08:44You always felt like he was talking to you.
08:47He used to give us such an illusion
08:50that we were learning something from him.
08:52He was a very interesting personality.
08:56I would like to be half of him.
08:59I will miss him.
09:02It's very difficult to imagine the film world
09:06in which Shyam Benegal doesn't exist.
09:09There is no such other person in Bombay.
09:12There is no other Shyam Benegal.
09:15You could go to him and talk to him.
09:18Now he is not there.
09:20You have to keep seeing his films.
09:23The best tribute to Shyam Benegal is to keep seeing his films.
09:26See Mammo. See Hari Bari.
09:29Not the obvious films also.
09:31Suraj Ka Saathma Ghoda.
09:33I am not talking about Angkor, Nishan, Mandi, Kalyug.
09:37Bhoomika, which is outstanding.
09:40I see Bhoomika every three months or so.
09:46I only did one film with him.
09:49But the way he called me for that film
09:54and the way he talked to me,
09:56I had already seen so many of his films.
10:06I got a call that he wanted to meet me.
10:09I went.
10:10He had seen my theatre work.
10:12I had never done a film before.
10:15I was completely spoiled.
10:17Because my first film was with Shyam Benegal.
10:21He called me and told me that this is the story,
10:24this is the role and so on.
10:30But such a great person who had made such good films,
10:40I will never forget that.
10:50Like I said earlier,
10:55he was a highly intelligent, well-read, erudite man
11:00who treated everyone exactly the same.
11:05Whoever was on the set,
11:08I was working with Karishma.
11:11Karishma would not come out,
11:13but her table was where we all used to sit.
11:18Think about it.
11:19The people on the set,
11:21the people from every department used to sit on the same table.
11:30He was very clear on the set.
11:32He used to point out what I wanted.
11:34He was very clear about what he wanted from the actor.
11:37He used to pull it out.
11:39What you didn't even know was inside you.
11:44But after that, he was very warm, very friendly.
11:47I didn't do many films with him.
12:47I didn't do many films with him.
13:17I didn't do many films with him.
