Who performed in "Jaane Kahan Mera"?
C.P. Chandrasekar
I was trying to find out who performed in the song "Jaane Kahan Mera Jigar
Gaya Ji" from Mr. and Mrs.55.
My friend claims it was Guru Dutt and Madhubala. While they were the lead
pair no doubt, I am pretty sure that the song was not theirs.
Can anyone clarify?
Thanks

The other is Madhubala but this does seem unusual.
Song on Heroine and Joker?
If its true somebody can come up with the sequence in the
movie that led to this song.

Is not. Lady in question is one Yasmeen(?), who apparently has been
discussed before on RMIM.
Potato-face, round eyes, rather pretty. Plays Johnny's love interest in
the movie.
But speaking of songs picturized on Johnny Walker and Madhubala, the one
that promptly springs
to mind is the sprightly "dekhta chala gaya main zindai ki raah mei.n",
a Lata-Rafi duet
from Om Prakash's 'Gateway of India'(1957), composed by Madan Mohan.
Lovely song, delightful
situation - two inebriated bozos (Johnny and his brother Tony? Walker)
trying to detain
Madhubala who they believe is with the constabulary and trying to bust
their illicit liquor
business.

Thanks for the clarification but..
Yasmeen and a "?" ? :-) Is her or Isn't? Not sure?
Are there any other movies that feature her? I remember her as very
pretty with great expressions during that song..
And the way Johnny expresses "koi ulfat ki nazar zara pher de" is pretty
funny..

Heard someone say that it is in fact a person called Shakeela?
Is this true?

If I remember correctly, This particular song sequence in shot in an
office. And it was performed by Jonney Walker and some other acteress.
But, surely not Madhubala.

I have been reading the articles being posted on rmim from quite some time and I
also wish to participate in getting to know more about Indian music.
Coming to the song "Jaane kahan mera jigar...."
I have seen this song many times.It's picturised on Johny Walker and some Russian
female whom Johny Walker supposedly married later on.That I guess,was her first
and the last appearance in movies.I don't remember her name but certainly she is
not Shakela,Madubala or Yasmin.
The only Guru Dutt/Madhubala duet in Mr and Mrs 55 is "Udhar Tum Hassen ho idhar dil
jawan hae...".I think other songs were solos.
Regards
Naveen

The song is picturized on Johnny Walker and Naaz. Not Shakila, not Yasmeen
(whoever that is), certainly not Madhubala.
Apparently they were a real-life couple too. I remember the song being
shown in a special Chhaya Geet featuring on-screen couples who carried
their romance into real life.

Do you mean the same Naaz who was also known as Baby Naaz? If so, then
it wasn't Naaz rolling her eyes to "badi badi ankhiyon se dar gaya
jii". I watched this movie recently and remember the lady's face - it
wasn't Naaz. I tend to think that I saw a Parsi sounding name in the
cast - no it wasn't Honey Irani and certainly not Daisy Irani by any
stretch of imagination. They would have been kids at that time - I
guess same goes for Naaz.
Hema.

My mistake--the giit kosh shows a Yasmin among the cast of MR AND MRS 55
and no Naaz, so I probably had the two mixed up. Sorry.

Have seen the various responses to this query. Hrishi
is right. The lady in question was in fact one Yasmin.
But to describe her as "potato-faced" is rather
uncharitable ! I remember reading a reference to her
in "Screen", a couple of years after this movie was
released, where she was referred to as a Parsi girl.
To my knowledge, this was the only film she appeared in.
Johnny Walker's romance (and subsequent marriage) was
with Noor, Shakila's real sister and almost a look -
alike. I think they married in 1956.

Hi All,
Can't wait to get in this discussion of one of my all time
favourite songs. It is picturised on Johny walker and for the
last time YASMIN. She plays Julie.She is pretty. Hrishi said 'potato
shaped'.Please be generous with her :-). She has very good
deep dimples which can probably hold buckets of water ! I will call her
cherubic as she is my personal favourite :-) Johny walker goes ga ga
the first time he sees Julie. And goes on to make comments on her
dimpled cheeks comparing them to 'kashmiri sep' ( kashmiri apples) with
a 'gadda'on it. Julie responds by giving a smile which deepens those
'gaddas'.Another noticable thing abour her is BIG eyes.
Which are apt in the next line of this song "badi badi aakhiyonse
dar gaya ji".
I saw this films last for nth time on 7th sep 99 on a clean video copy.
Geeta Roy is divine and full of her charcteristic flamboyance
in this song. Her combos with rafi are one of the best things in the
world. All guru dutt produced films like cid( this one has shakeela as
heroine and waheeda as vamp),aar paar etc gave us best rafi+geeta+op
songs.
And last on the picturisation( or taking of the song ). it is one of
the most enjoyable fun songs in hindi films . With johny walker and
yasmeen to match him blow by blow( can't find better words here, pardon
me)it is highly watchable. The whole film is recommended.
I was looking for more films of Yasmin, but Afzal said this was her
only fim. That's sad.

I think she is incredibly beautiful and can purely in terms of beauty hold her own against any film heroine from Bollywood.

Vinita Butt Biography
Born in Rawalpindi on April 3rd, 1937, of Hindu-English parentage, Vinita spent the first seven years of her life in Kashmir. Educated at various hill-station schools, Vini came to Bombay in November 1954, some time after she had done her Senior Cambridge in Bangalore. In Bangalore, she had been a member of the Bangalore Amateur Dramatic Society (the B.A.D.S.) and appeared on the stage in Tagore’s “Sacrifice” and one of J. B. Priestley’s plays. It was in Bangalore that Guru Dutt first saw her and, struck by her good looks and vivacious personality, offered her a film contract. He took some photographs of her back with him to Bombay and then wrote to her, offering her a role. The terms were not exactly flattering and Vini and her mother soon forgot about the episode.
In Bombay Vinita met Anwar Hussein, an old friend of the family, and, through him, Chandulal Shah who gave her a small role in “Oot Patang,” the film he was then making. While working in “Oot Patang”, Vinita visited the Mehboob Studios where, once again she met Guru Dutt, who had gone on the floors with his film, “Mr. & Mrs. 55”. He offered Vinita the role of the Anglo-Indian office girl Julie and she accepted it.
At that time, Vinita’s screen name was Yasmin and her performance, according to the critics, displayed a confidence, ease and aplomb which enabled her to even steal scenes from the seasoned comedian Johnny Walker. It was also at the Mehboob Studios that Vinita met Zul Vellani, who asked her to play Desdemona in a Theatre Group open-air presentation of “Othello.
” This, indirectly, led to her next film contract. Alex D’Arcy, the Hollywood actor who came to India to star in Filmistan’s CinemaScope and Technicolor production, “Bombay Flight 417,” met her and was impressed by her. Her film test, for which she was made up by her future husband, Jimmy Vining, was a great success and Vinita, now using her own name on the screen, landed the role of Rukhmini.
She and Jimmy soon married. (The above biography has been adapted from a Filmfare magazine interview in 1956, courtesy of Cineplot.com)
