at the end of the day , the reason i made end of watch is because of the trend where you see our servicemen and women in uniform at the airport and you go up and shake their hand and say “hey , thank you for your service . ” maybe now somebody will start doing that to the police officers who go into harm’s way on our behalf .
no doubt , these twin saviours are a likeable tandem , and they bear their cross lightly . still , end of watch suffers from no end of sanctimony . sainthood is all well and fine but it ain ' t drama and , on screen at least , the question cries out : where ' s a corrupt cop when you need him ?
at its core ,
end of watch
is about the camaraderie taylor and zavala share as they patrol the gang - riddled newton division just south of downtown los angeles , searching , as taylor says , for
dope , money and guns .

end of watch begins with a flashback to the april 2009 mercedes killings at the city center . the memories are those of rob martin and jason raspis , the ambulance crew first on the scene of the tragedy . they were in charge of transporting martine stover , one of the most severely injured of the victims , to the hospital . martine survived but was paralyzed from the chest down .
from the perch of a police cruiser dashboard , the camera captures the cops as they tear after the bad guys through the streets of los angeles - engines roaring , tires screeching , sharp turns taken at nutcase speed - in the breathless , killer intro to the riveting

winner of the week : end of watch . at this writing , end of watch is actually tied with house at the end of the street , with both movies claiming $ 13 million debuts in early sunday estimates , while trouble with the curve is just a nose behind with an estimated $ 12 . 7 million opening . by the time final numbers are in on monday , any one of these three could be the box office champ . still , just for finishing in such rarefied company , end of watch deserves the most credit . the found - footage cop drama has a restrictive r rating , limited star power ( sorry , jake gyllenhaal , but you’re no clint eastwood or even jennifer lawrence ) and a distributor ( open road films ) that’s only put out one previous $ 10 - million - plus opener ( january’s the grey ) . as a result , watch was expected to open only at around $ 9 to $ 11 million . so it’s this week’s winner just for outperforming its modest expectations .

was based on the experiences of captain jamie fitzsimons , a former lapd patrol officer who worked south los angeles neighborhoods in the 1990s . this is the primary reason the movie rings true with an authentic approach to police work .
along with the note on mass production , the economic daily report notes that the next - gen apple watch is scheduled to launch sometime in the forth quarter of 2017 . apple may unveil the third - generation model at its upcoming iphone event with a launch sometime afterwards , or it may decide to hold another event at the end of the year that includes the apple watch series 3 .
the new apple watch is expected to ship with both 38mm and 42mm models and look similar to current apple watch models , but will also feature an lte option in order to facilitate a measure of wireless connectivity without needing to rely on a paired iphone .
according to a press release , end of watch sees the return of brady hartsfield , the perpetrator of the mercedes massacre from mr . mercedes . retired police detective bill hodges gets involved in a case with ties to hartsfield , who , while in a vegetative state for the past five years , is now in possession of new deadly powers .
end of watch is a true indie . while you might think actors like gyllenhaal and pena playing the leads means the movie is being produced by a major studio , but that’s not the case instead , former paramount head john lesher ( who produced films such as no country for old men , there will be blood and babel ) has started his own label and this is the first film under its umbrella . end of watch was financed by exclusive media group , the same folks who produced george clooney’s the ides of march .

praise for end of watch “king has dealt before with this novel’s different themes—endowment with dangerous supernatural powers , the zombifying effect of modern consumer electronics—but he finds fresh approaches to them and inventive ways to introduce them in the lives of his recurring cast of sympathetic characters , whose pains and triumphs the reader feels . king’s legion of fans will find this splice of mystery and horror a fitting finale to his bill hodges trilogy . ”
end of watch re - unites us with bill , holly and jerome , the dynamic trio first introduced in the excellent mr mercedes . once again , they battle with brady hartsfield , the infamous mercedes murderer . although in a seemingly irreversible vegetative state , bill is convinced that brady is not quite as helpless as everyone thinks . when there is an outbreak of mysterious suicides and attempted suicides , bill , holly and jerome race to prevent any more from happening and prove the improbable notion that brady is somehow involved . i really enjoyed end of watch ! king proves once again that he is a master storyteller who fits into no genre but his own . dark humour pervades this novel but there is also great emotional depth with some genuinely touching scenes . end of watch is a fitting finale to an excellent trilogy . i am sorry to see it end but i am looking forward the next book in king’s eclectic repertoire .

i know his sister well and i met his mom – beautiful woman . so , in the car , i was talking to him .
and while end of watch has its own genre spin ( the police are the good guys , not the dirty dis of harsh times and training day ) , it is these scenes behind the wheel , before the film spins off into its plot proper , that mean end of watch stands out so brightly in a lineup of cop movies .

for the record :
end of watch
: an article about director david ayer in the sept . 20 calendar section said that his new movie
end of watch
was a $ 15 - million production . however , open road films , which is releasing
end of watch
in the u . s . and canada , says the actual cost of the film was $ 7 . 5 million . dressed in a crisp , loose - fitting white t - shirt , jeans and sneakers , with a neatly trimmed goatee and a grown - out buzz cut , ayer looked and sounded like he could have stepped out of one of his own movies . his greeting to a reporter :
what ' s up , big dog ?
the streets of south - central los angeles that serve as the backdrop for the new police drama
end of watch
are familiar turf for writer - director david ayer . he grew up in the neighborhood , and over the last decade the 43 - year - old filmmaker has specialized in telling gritty southland cop tales .
late at night on august 25 , 2011 i got to visit the set of end of watch . unlike most set visits which have 8 to 10 reporters , i was the only invited journalist , and i got to spend a number of hours talking with the filmmakers , jake gyllenhaal and michael pena , as well as producer john lesher . while i wasn’t sure what to expect going in , i learned that end of watch is going to look and feel completely different than any cop movie you’ve ever seen and i left excited by what i saw . hit the jump for a lot more – including the first two official images from the movie .
we recently got the chance to chat with writer - director david ayer about his police drama end of watch , which is now out on blu - ray and dvd . the acclaimed film stars jake gyllenhaal and michael pena as a pair of young patrolmen whose experiences on the gang - ridden streets of los angeles are realized for the viewer via a faux documentary approach .
it’s a wonder the actors do good work here , since in the more pensive scenes ayer shoots them in microcosmic closeup ; by the end of the film you will know gyllenhaal’s face — the mole above his lip , every freckle and wen — better than your own mirrored image . yet he and peña , and kendrick and martinez , not only get to show off their perfect teeth , they manage to burrow into their characters , to find behavioral nuances under the haloes . granted , any decision a good man makes has greater impact when his life could end with the turn of a doorknob . but the performances here are so sharp that viewers may wish end of watch has been shot by someone who knew how to find the right point of view for a scene and leave it there — say , the anonymous auteur who shot mitt romney’s “47 percent” speech with an utterly stationary camera . that deadpan exposé , not end of watch , is the most enthralling movie of the week .
what sets

apart from ayer ' s previous work , and from a long line of genre siblings including

end of watch opened in the same range as gyllenhaal’s last vehicle , 2011’s source code , which bowed with $ 14 . 8 million , but it started higher than the effort before that , romantic dramedy love and other drugs , which debuted with $ 9 . 7 million in 2010 . though gyllenhaal’s star burns brightly in hollywood , the oft - bearded actor has never truly proven his drawing power at the box office . still , thanks to strong word of mouth , end of watch , which audiences issued an “a - ” cinemascore grade , may prove to be an under - the - radar box office winner for the star .

end of watch , which arrives in theaters friday , features one of the most fully - fleshed depictions of male friendship ever committed to the screen . tough yet tender , this cop - car partnership careens between wise - assery and earnest outpourings of “i’m there for you , bro” solidarity , battlefield camaraderie , and bursts of unsolicited tough - love—even a kind of “how gay is this ? ” hetero self - awareness—rising above the numbskull bro - downs typically showcased at the multiplex and somehow avoiding schmaltzy false sentimentality .

as the bill hodges trilogy comes to an end , stephen king fans lament the conclusion of something that has taken on a mind of its own , while being pleased with the calibre of the final novel . the reader gathers the shards of literary glass king left with the end of the previous book , as bill hodges is called to the scene of an apparent murder - suicide , a favour by his former partner . what brings hodges and his partner , holly gibney , rushing to the house is that one of the two bodies belongs to tha

producer sinclair continued “end of watch has been one of the most rewarding films i have ever worked on . it connects emotionally with audiences in a very special and unique way and , alongside my fellow producers david ayer , john lesher and matt jackson , and distribution partner open road , could not be prouder to have brought this film to the big screen . ”

unlike many of the current crop of macho cop dramas , end of watch plays mainly to the grit of the daily challenges of patrolling the mean streets of south central la in the
shootin ' newton
division . unlike the stunning la confidential , with a historical story line , end of watch is done in the cinema ver ' ite ' style - in a realistic real cops on duty in the la war zone frame . the casting in this movie is picture perfect , with each actor giving in depth performances . the story line brings the mexican / us drug problem into crystal clarity . initially , the story fails to coalesce , and the video cam work is a bit disjointed and over done at the outset , but once you settle in to cinematic method , the film gets a hold on you . definitely a movie for any law enforcement aficionados collection .
los angeles , ca , november 30 , 2012 – end of watch — the hit film starring jake gyllenhaal and michael peña , written and directed by david ayer , which opened to number one at the box office in september 2012 — will return to theaters nationwide on december 7 , 2012 . the announcement was made today by tom ortenberg , ceo of open road films .

what self - respecting director would enlist – nay , entrust – his actors to film their own scenes ? such an idea calls up memories of the nausea - inducing blair witch project . but in seeking a bit of a technological shakeup , david ayer , writer and director of police drama end of watch in theaters sept . 21 , strapped cameras to his two main stars and let them guide the story , about the los angeles police department , through their own eyes and movements as they patrol a particularly seedy section of the city of angels .
ayer : it’s shot a little more traditionally , but it’s not conventional coverage . with every movie , you learn . ten is my fourth movie , so i’m bringing all of my experience to the table . i had a great crew around me , and a lot of the same people from end of watch . it just becomes more focused on making the movie and less about trying to figure out what your job is .
after spending so much time together , the two actors have an easy rapport , finishing each others’ sentences , performing convincing imitations of one another and chuckling together at their in - jokes . in end of watch , their dialog is spiced with a seemingly endless stream of “bros” and “dudes . ” and unsurprisingly , gyllenhaal and peña are extremely partial to using the b and the d words for emphasis in conversation . particularly peña .
the gritty and intense crime drama end of watch , available on dvd / blu - ray on january 22 nd , tells the story of lapd officers brian taylor ( jake gyllenhaal ) and mike zavala ( michael peña ) , who patrol the mean streets of south central los angeles . shot documentary - style , the action unfolds through footage from the handheld hd cameras of the police officers , gang members , surveillance cameras and citizens caught in the line of fire to illustrate how cops risk their lives , every day .
eventually , the main plotline kicks in , although we soon realize aspects of it have been present all along . the final 30 minutes are taut and suspenseful and the viewer shouldn ' t make the mistake of believing events are going to follow a predetermined cop movie path . end of watch isn ' t afraid of venturing into dark territory , although the way in which ayer chooses to conclude the film , with a much - needed
lighter moment ,
is welcome .
the film will always follow the point of view of gyllenhaal and pena’s characters . we’ll never leave one of them during the movie .
f ew of king ' s myriad terrors feel as visceral and close to home as the sense of human mortality that looms over his new book , end of watch … an undeniable page - turner … throughout his tale , king nimbly pulls together numerous plot threads and characters…and for good measure throws in a final nail - biting chase through a blizzard . one finishes this novel feeling great empathy for its resolute protagonist , and even greater trepidation about that next round of candy crush . ”
“f ew of king ' s myriad terrors feel as visceral and close to home as the sense of human mortality that looms over his new book , end of watch … an undeniable page - turner … throughout his tale , king nimbly pulls together numerous plot threads and characters…and for good measure throws in a final nail - biting chase through a blizzard . one finishes this novel feeling great empathy for its resolute protagonist , and even greater trepidation about that next round of candy crush . ”
all in all , this movie was ok . it ' s not the end of all movies as we know it , and it ' s not the movie that pierces the heavens either .
like a knife in the eye , “end of watch” cuts past the cliches of standard police procedurals , serving instead as a visceral ride - along with two thrill - seeking cops ( jake gyllenhaal and michael pena , both terrific ) covertly documenting their beat in south central l . a . faux - found - footage approach already feels a little dated , but amplifies the authenticity in what [ … ]
for a while , end of watch progresses almost like an r - rated episode of adam 12 . it ' s very much a
day in the life of
story , detailing the easy conversation that transpires in a squad car between calls and showing the dangers faced by cops even in seemingly unthreatening situations . there are times when the first - person approach works to emphasize intimacy . on other occasions , such as a fire rescue , it reduces everything into a muddle of confusion .
a laconic character , hodges has been easy company over the course of “mr . mercedes” and “finders keepers . ” maintaining a tight structure , king uses “end of watch” to loop back to hodges’ handling of the explosive episode that started off the trilogy — brady’s decision to plow his car into a line of people waiting at a job fair , killing eight of them and severely injuring almost twice as many . supposedly rendered comatose after his first game of wits with hodges , brady continued to preoccupy the detective in “finders keepers . ” and now he may be responsible for more deaths .
end of watch follows two young los angeles police officers taylor and zavala as they patrol the mean streets of south central los angeles . giving the story a gripping , first - person immediacy , the action unfolds through footage from the handheld hd cameras of the police officers , gang members , surveillance cameras , and citizens caught in the line of fire to create a riveting portrait of the city ' s most dangerous corners , the cops who risk their lives there every day , and the price they and their families are forced to pay .
such fraternity is also potentially concerning . end of watch is a terrific film , and , to be fair , our heroes do happen upon some remarkably grisly finds on even the most innocuous housecall , but it will also function as a persuasive recruitment video . did gyllenhaal ever worry being embedded with the lapd might just mean they were in bed with them ?
their characters certainly function in lock - step , uncovering the sordid dealings of a ruthless mexican drug cartel—gun - running , human trafficking , money laundering , etc . —only to unleash the gang’s institutional wrath upon themselves . but end of watch ’s pulse - quickening action ultimately serves a larger purpose : to bracket the characters’ brotherly love , providing a testing ground for their loyalty , resolve and willingness to go down in the line of duty for one another .

universal studios home entertainment topped both national home video sales charts the week ending jan . 27 with end of watch , a $ 41 million - grossing cop drama , shot documentary style , that hit the big screen late last summer and stars jake gyllenhaal and michael pena as two young police officers , partners as well as friends , who grow up fast on the crime - filled streets of l . a .
this is just another example of the most lavishly funded media organisation in the country destroying its competition . this is particularly the case in regional areas with small populations which can ' t support a diversity of media , so only the state media survives . the abc is bit by bit ruining its competitors . it ' s ironic that media watch decries the loss of jobs for journalists when the abc is one of the major causes of the losses in this country . time media watch did a story on this , but i won ' t be holding my breath .
since end of watch just wrapped principal photography and it doesn’t yet have a release date ( it will be in 2012 ) or domestic distributor , i’m going to hold my on - set interviews and my full set report until a later date . however , to go along with the first two images of the film , i’m offering the “20 things to know” about the film . but first , here’s the official synopsis :
as the movie opens , taylor is filming a video documentary about his job , for a film class he ' s taking .
end of watch
begins with his narration about the nature of his job . all through the movie , jake gyllenhaal reveals a presence and stability that ' s in contrast to the lighter - weight , ingratiating characters he often plays . michael pena gives one of the performances of his career as the other cop , and the reality of their relationship underscores the whole film . we wouldn ' t believe some of the things they do if we didn ' t believe who they are .
book arrived quickly & in good condition . excellent trilogy , well worth reading all 3 books on order . not often a book makes me she ' d a tear but the end of this one did .
end of watch is the final book in the bill hodges trilogy by stephen king . in this installment the story comes full circle back to brady hartsfield , the infamous mercedes killer that drove a mercedes into a crowd of job seekers one horrific morning killing eight and injuring countless others . brady has spent the last several years in traumatic brain injury clinic courtesy of bill hodges and holly gibney . our retired detective bill hodges has now been working along with his partner , holly gibney ,
“some people can’t get beyond the genre of a film but to us , it was always about this relationship , ” gyllenhaal told the daily beast in an interview at the toronto international film festival , where end of watch premiered earlier this month . he recalled an early edict from writer - director david ayer ( training day , street kings ) that would govern his and peña’s performances : “you two are going to be brothers . ”
sad to see the series come to an end . i did enjoy king ' s foray into the world of crime / detective drama . i would not mind if he does more with it in the future .
david ayer ‘s end of watch was a surprisingly solid flick even though it was burdened by an unnecessary found - footage device . however , when it was released in september , it seemed to be a film that found moderate success ( it tied for first at the box office on its opening weekend ) , and then quietly slipped away . surprisingly , the film might now be in the awards hunt after it picked up independent spirit award nominations for best supporting actor ( michael peña ) and best cinematography ( roman vasyanov ) . jake gyllenhaal recently did an interview with hitfix’s in contention blog , and now open road has announced that they’re sending end of watch back into theaters on december 7th . it’s not a bad move since the only competition it will face is playing for keeps .

and yes , i agree about the songs of teen deviyaan were well picturised . i like that about them too .
i was unable to get teen devian and searched for it for quite a long time . i got the shemaroo dvd of teen devian . i saw that the certificate was ‘a’ . i searched the net and got to know that it was because of the kissing scenes in colour , that were missing from the dvd . i dont feel that kissing is adultic . i think that any other company shall produce a dvd of the movie and get it censored from the modern day censor board to get a ‘u’ or ‘u / a’ certificate without any cuts

trivia - teen devian is inspired by the works of d . h . lawrence – an english poet , novelist and painter . he often explored themes such as spontaneity and emotional health . lawrence spent a large part of his life outside his country and termed it as a – savage pilgrimage .
oh , the prettiness . the teen devis , of course ; and dev anand – and some familiar faces , now and then .
which , i suppose , does make teen deviyaan a kalpana film – and a fitting tribute to the actress . rip , kalpana .

she then did ” teen devian ” in 1965 with dev anand . sachin dev burman ‘s melodious music added ethereal quality to kalpana’s beauty . can any hindi movie buff forget dev anand entreating kalpana with kishore kumar , asha bhosle duet , are yaar meri tum bhi ho ghazab , ghoonghat to zara odho …… ?
i was saddened when i saw a recent photo of kalpana , which was published in times of india . age had dimmed her beauty . an aging and lonely kalpana mohan caught my fancy once again . i was not a huge fan of hers but i did like her in films like ; ” professor ” , ” teen devian ” , ” pyar kiye ja “ and ” biwi aur makaan ” . in the conservative india of 1965 , ” teen devian “ got a certificate from censors , so the film got famous and the craze was enormous . and i , like other youngsters of my age , was charmed by kalpana and this film .
inspired by d . h . lawrence ' s works , “teen deviyan” is dev anand ' s first adult film far ahead of its times .

for me teen devian was great because the era in which it was made most hindi commercials were tear jerkers and foolishly emotional . this one was quite refreshing . where else can you find in one movie a handsome hero , his three beautiful heroines with a story ahead of its times plus superb music . what was shown in this movie is more relevant today in india .
she just did only couple of films . ” professor ” [ 1962 ] , ” naughty boy ” [ 1962 ] , ” teen devian ” [ 1965 ] , ” saheli ” [ 1965 ] , ” pyar kiye ja ” [ 1966 ] , ” biwi aur makan ” [ 1966 ] , ” tasveer ” [ 1966 ] and ” nawab sirajuddaula ” [ 1967 ] .
rip kalpana . will always love professor , pyar kiye jaa , even teen deviyan , and didn’t really mind naughty boy as a time pass and enjoyed the simplicity of the sets .
but i think you got it right anyway , samir – it was just that teen deviyaan didn’t quite have the calcutta ‘flavour’ as some other films ! ‘dalhousie’ was almost certainly dalhousie square .
very few know that dev anand shot an english version of “teen deviyan” , “oh boy and three girls” which had five english songs by harindranath chattopadhyay , tuned by r . d . burman . the print was never released .
wow ! thank you for all that information . i had seen what i thought was the original teen deviyaan on doordarshan years ago , but from your comment , i can see that even that was a heavily edited version .
“teen deviyan” was an average success but remains popular even today for its offbeat theme . and if it really was dev anand ' s directional debut , he did have a lot of potential as a director unnoticed in his later films .
i had heard about dev anand having ghost directed teen deviyaan . that seems to make sense , in some ways… somehow i wasn’t being able to reconcile this film with hum dono ( also directed by amarjeet ) ; both are so different .
i wonder why most of the people call sdb a thorough professional and claim that he chose singers on merit . i also dont agree with those who say rdb replaced rafi with kk for aradhana , because sdb had already discarded rafi . rafi was not a person who would leave the recording of a film and go abroad . the distributors of aradhana wanted to put their money only if rafi was singing , because sdb had already ditched rafi in jewel thief and teen devian . the two duets of rafi were recorded to pacify distributors and rafi knew that he was done for the film , so he went abroad .
i would probably never watch teen deviyaan , but now i have the entire weekend to contemplate what kind of songs me and my friends could sing to magically appear in front of each other…hope they will work in north america too — like uniting east and west coasts or something .
here is an article of the film urltoken ‘very few know that dev anand shot an english version of teen deviyan , oh boy and three girls which had five english songs by harindranath chattopadhyay , tuned by r . d . burman . ’ some songs were also in color .
inspired by d . h . lawrence ' s works , “teen deviyan” is dev anand ' s first adult film far ahead of its times . the problem with the script of the film is that it is light in nature , goes haywire and confused at places . actually it is a serious theme which needed deft handling by a director of vijay anand ' s calibre .
let’s agree to disagree on this one , upendra ! but yes , i do agree that the ‘lack of comic hijinks’ is a definite plus point in teen deviyaan – a forced comic subplot ( which seems to be almost ubiquitous in most hindi films of the 60s ) irritates me no end . only a handful of films managed to pull it off effectively without letting it get intrusive .
it was such a sad fact that most of the movies of 50s and 60s were great bore in spite of good star cast and directors . it may have a very loose screenplay or not very effective editing or this or that . music would invariably be good , but chances are that picturization may make you detest the song . teen deviyan songs were at least good to watch on the screen as well .
i have the movie teen deviyaan , got it in my insane quest to find all of dev’s movies and i watched it recently , but since it was the shemaroo one – the colored scenes were edited out . i remember thinking , “okay , what just happened ? ” when he just randomly comes out and is so happy cause he knows whom to choose . did i mention that i hate shemaroo dvds because they cut everything off ?
i did not see teen deviyaan but i think it wasn’t a box - office success , anyway the songs were really good . i can here them countless number of times . by the way did you know that kalpana was briefly married to writer sachin bhowmick . back then it was big news but the marriage was short - lived , i was surprised to see no mention of it in all the obituaries that were published in the newspapers .
i think i remember reading about kalpana having been married to sachin bhowmick at one time – i think someone mentioned it on a blog ( possibly even this one ! ) , but i did recall that she’d been married to someone pretty famous . even when i was watching teen deviyaan and seeing her act the part of this outwardly - vivacious , inwardly - lonely actress , i was wondering if some of that was true of kalpana in real life…
the soul of “teen deviyan” is its haunting lyrics by majrooh sultanpuri tuned to immortality by s . d . burman . all the six songs , “aise to na dekho” , “likha hai teri” , “are yaar meri” , “khwab ho ya” , “kaye be khayal hoke” and “kitni sardi” rendered by mohammad rafi , kishore kumar , lata mangeshkar and asha bhonsle are super hits , well conceived and picturised . the editing of course is loose at a number of junctures .
oh , you didn’t need to do that , i am sure there are people who’d like teen deviyaan for what it is , even if i don’t – just as i freely admit that i hate some cult movies like casablanca or awara . it’s all a question of personal likes and dislikes ; if , despite watching a film a couple of times , i still don’t like it much , i don’t know if trying to convince me that it’s good will convince me .
d ev anand was the best romantic hero of the indian screen along with late uttam kumar in the ' 50s , ' 60s and ' 70s . his love scenes were serene , modern and effective even without touching his heroines . that he was ahead of even dilip kumar , raj kapoor and guru dutt in this aspect was proved to the hilt in “teen deviyan” . the film directed by dev anand ' s brilliant publicist amarjeet is supposed to have been ghost directed by the icon himself .
teen deviyaan is mainly in black and white , but with some scenes – towards the end of the film – in colour . these have been edited out of the shemaroo dvd / vcd . i do remember these scenes having been part of the film when i watched them back in the good old days , and they form a critical part of the film . if you don’t find these in the film , don’t blame the director ( amar jeet ) ; blame whichever video production churned out that disc .
yes , teen deviyaan is a feast for the eyes and the ears , but that’s about it . not one of my favourite dev anand films either . i’m wondering if they’d been trying to emulate one of those hollywood screwball comedies – the type cary grant was so good at , or rock hudson – one good - looking and eligible bachelor being pursued by various girls , and not being able to choose… only , this didn’t have any comic element , and not much else other than his songs with the girls . : - (
i last watched this film years ago on doordarshan , and was left feeling disappointed . this time round , older and wiser , i thought i’d be better able to appreciate it . no such luck . the problem with teen deviyaan is that the story is too simple , the screenplay too flat to really hold your interest for long . dev goes out with girl # 1 , and they sing a song . dev goes out with girl # 2 , and they sing a song . dev goes out with girl # 3 , and they sing a song . dev cannot make up his mind whom he wants to spend the rest of his life with .
one of the best romantic classic , teen deviyaan is a film which is all about selecting among equals your most soft emotion , love . this is a simple story of a middle class man who came into limelight by his poetic talent and charming personality . he is attracted towards three women and vice versa , one a hindi movie star , the second a rich lady and the third who lives in his neighborhood . the situation put him in confusion as he has to decide one of them as his life partner . he asked for few days from all of them . ultimately he goes to a astrologer and asked him who he loves most . his confusion is no more and he came to know the lady living in his neighborhood who really cares for him and loves him is his true love . devanand played the lead character and has fully justified his contemporary romantic image .
teen deviyaan is a great film . a very breezy entertainer and a very modern film for its time in the 1960s . the music and songs are terrific though the lyrics of majrooh are meaningless at places . dev anand is a tremendous star and as usual does great justice to his role . kalpana is sexy and nanda is ok . simi too is just about ok . the film has terrific dialogue by vrajendra gaur who wrote most of dev anand ' s films like mahal , duniya , warrant , jaali note , manzil , etc . etc . it is a story of dev getting attracted to three females - the mod kalpana , simi and the homely nanda . he eventually opts for nanda . the story is about ok but its been narrated in a gripping way and the dialogue and songs and the great dev anand are the highlight of the film . a must watch film for all dev anand fans .
the film opens with a brilliant background commentary by the legendary amin sayani who describes the various facets of romance . the story revolves around dev dutt ( dev anand ) a handsome , educated and gifted poet who works as an assistant in merry music store of kolkata ( then calcutta ) . his boss , i . s . johar is hard and rude from outside but has a truly soft corner for dev dutt and understands his talents well .
in due course , dev comes across nanda ( nanda ) who is a steno - typist at a corporate office . both are tenants at the same residence , owned by harindranath chatterjee and ruby mayers . dev ' s creative abilities and straightforward attitude towards life draw him close to nanda and a sweet emotional relation develops between them .
as dev moves from strength to strength as a poet , he comes across a celebrated actress kalpana ( kalpana ) to whom he proves in their first confrontation that he is not overwhelmed by glamorous women and does not allow them to dominate him . in the course of a series of meetings , kalpana also starts liking dev .
the debonair dev comes across his third beloved in the form of radha rani ( simmi ) , a socialite who is intelligent and an ardent music lover . torn between his three beloveds , dev has a tormented life which is a mixture of uncertainties , pathos and restlessness . he ultimately opts for the simple middle class nanda in whom he finds his real love and life partner .
shot mainly in black and white , the last few frames between dev anand and rashid khan ( the magician ) are in colour . the cinematography is simple without any jugglery . the various facets of womanhood i . e . love , sacrifice , ambition , ruthlessness and possessiveness are effectively depicted through the characters of nanda , kalpana and radha rani .
dev anand as dev dutt is confident , smart and looks divine in his urban costumes many of which became trendsetters of that period . no unnecessary nodding of the head , straight walking , his eyes expressing volumes , dev anand showed a lot of promise as an actor in the romantic scenes , specially whilst emoting silently . nanda shines in an average character elevating it with her dignity and subtle performance , kalpana is accommodating and simmi proves she is a volcano of talent whom the hindi film industry could never utilize properly . i . s . johar is loud at times , and an actor of rashid khan ' s calibre is wasted .

this post is two weeks late . late , because it’s a tribute to the actress kalpana , who passed away on january 4 this year . i didn’t get to know about her death till the 8 th , and then – though i did want to do a tribute post – i couldn’t think of a film i hadn’t reviewed , and liked well enough to want to review . ( two of my favourite films – professor and pyaar kiye jaa – starred kalpana , but i’ve already reviewed them . and other kalpana films i’ve seen include naughty boy and saheli – both of which i found almost impossible to sit through ) . last weekend , in desperation , i watched teesra kaun , thinking i’d review that ; but that was a disappointment too . so , finally : an old classic . not a great film , but very pretty . and a good kalpana showcase .
starts off to commentary by ameen sayani , as the camera moves through bombay’s streets , showing love blooming – and sometimes nipped in the bud .
bear the names of the actors who play them ) finds herself being – as she sees it – followed . the man , dev dutt anand ( dev anand ) , has been sitting in the bus beside her , and has bought a ticket for dalhousie ( after she’s bought one ) :
…and has now even followed her into the boarding house where she lives . at this point , nanda loses her temper and yells at dev , threatening to call the police . instead , her shouting attracts the attention of the boarding house’s owners , mr pinto ( harindranath chattopadhyay ) and his wife ( ruby myers ) . mr and mrs pinto assure nanda that she’s misunderstood this ; dev is their new lodger .
nanda is sheepish and embarrassed . but dev forgives her readily – and even sings a lovely song , quite apparently aimed at her , though he’s in his room and she’s in hers , watching each other only through a gap . within a couple of days , they’re good friends . in fact , nanda is pretty much in love with dev . he flirts with her , is sweet to her , even goes off on a day trip into the countryside with her .
meanwhile , dev has begun working at merry musical stores . it’s been a shaky start – his boss , i s johar ( i s johar , of course ) flies off the handle when dev turns up late on the very first day . but one day , i s johar happens to come across a poem that dev’s written and is so impressed that he quickly forgives dev all his shortcomings and prays that dev’s poems will soon get published . hopefully some of dev’s subsequent fame will rub off onto merry musical stores too .
one evening , dev’s sitting on a bench in a park when a passing car goes hurtling through a puddle , and dev is liberally splashed . he calls out to the driver – a woman ( kalpana ) – that something’s fallen off her car . curious , she reverses , then gets out of the car to have a look around . …giving dev an opportunity to have his revenge for the drenching he received . he’s been fiddling with a hosepipe all this while , and now turns it on her , leaving her wet . and furious .
even worse , when she gets into her car and tries to start it , it won’t start . soon , a bunch of stragglers has collected . instead of helping her , they spend all their time ogling her and passing comments . finally , dev takes pity on her and offers to attend to her car ; the engine kicks in immediately , and dev takes it upon himself to drive her to her home . she makes it quite clear that she doesn’t want his help , but dev insists , and leaves her with no option but to agree .
by the time he gets her home – having draped his coat over her wet and shivering shoulders – this mysterious lady is rather more kindly disposed towards dev , though she doesn’t show it . however , when he’s gone and she’s changing out of her wet clothes , she looks fondly down at his coat… and sees his notebook of poems sticking out of the pocket . she has a look through it .
and in the next scene , i s johar has a piece of very good news to share with dev : his book of poems has been accepted by a publisher ! the first proof copies have arrived ! dev has arrived ! i s johar will be sending out copies to some of merry musical stores’ clients .
one of these is the wealthy and influential socialite radharani ‘simi’ ( simi garewal ) . simi has received a copy of dev’s book of poems and is completely bowled over by them . dev happens to come to her home to deliver a piano and tune it for her . she , lying on the sofa , begins to exult over the poetry she’s been reading , and dev owns up to being the poet .
then , a couple of days later , a lady resurfaces in dev’s life : the unknown woman to whom he had lent his coat . she’s in her car again , and offers him a lift . it turns out that this woman is kalpana , and she’s a famous actress . her life’s a whirl of men trying to flatter her , making promises of laying their hearts at her feet , and so on . dev’s failure to even recognise her has endeared him to her . she likes his candour , and the fact that he treats her as a friend , not as an idol .
she’s even bought him a new coat , which she hands over to him in the car , insisting that he wear it in exchange for his old coat . and that isn’t the only time they meet . one day , kalpana wheedles dev into accompanying her for a shoot in the countryside . they have a minor mishap along the way , the car goes into a ditch , and dev and kalpana spend an interesting day getting to know the locals …
but remember that there are three ladies in this saga . simi now comes back into the picture , with an invitation to a party at her home . dev is reluctant to go , but i s johar persuades him . simi is vastly influential ; she knows everybody worth knowing . she can give his writing career the boost it needs . dev must go . so dev goes . he is an instant success . and he manages to convince both simi and kalpana that the dreamily romantic song he’s singing is for her .
then , there’s kalpana . successful , popular , a famous face – but with a sadness in her eyes , which dev correctly guesses to be loneliness . kalpana admits it to him , too ; she has seen the superficiality of the life that surrounds her , and she longs for someone to truly understand her , as a person , not just a beautiful face . will dev be that person ?
and – sitting in the boarding house , helping dev upstairs when he returns drunk from simi’s party , is nanda . sweet , down - to - earth , the girl next door .
the music . this is one of my favourite s d burman scores : an array of delightful songs , each better than the next . my personal favourite of these songs is khwaab ho tum ya koi haqeeqat , followed closely by arre yaar meri tum bhi ho gazab . likha hai teri aankhon mein kiska afsaana and aise toh na dekho are also very good songs , though i’m not as fond of either uff kitni thandi hai yeh rut or kahin bekhayaal hokar .
this would’ve been interesting if there had been better , more intense character development – or a peppier plot . unfortunately , the film meanders from one dev - and - girl rendezvous to another , and becomes increasingly tedious in the process . nanda and simi are pretty one - dimensional : nanda is sweet and homey , simi is elegant and wealthy . of the three , the only one who may be interesting ( though it isn’t taken any further ) is kalpana , the successful actress who hides a sad , lonely heart behind a laughing , flirting exterior .
yeah , those colour scenes ! wonder if they are in any copy of the circulating dvds . wonder why they should cut it out ?
whom dev will choose is a simple enough answer , so i won’t attempt to answer the question . who is the director ? is this simi’s first film ? she looks beautiful and elegant as usual !
i read somewhere that there was kissing in those colour scenes – only read this on some online forum , mind you , so i can’t say if that was true or not . besides , i saw the film on dd so long ago , i don’t remember the details now ( in any case , dd would have themselves censored any smooching ! ) but it’s silly for shemaroo to have completely deleted those scenes , because what happens in those scenes is what leads dev to decide whom he wants… without those scenes , it’s really a “huh ? what happened ? ” moment . the last minute or so of the movie is a completely inexplicable mess .
the director is amar jeet ( who also directed hum dono ) . and no , this wasn’t simi’s first film – i don’t know which film she debuted in , but i’ve also seen her in son of india ( famous for that nanha - munna raahi hoon song ) . that was back in 1962 . she always looked so classy !
oh , some bombaywallah will have to tell me why dev and nanda were buying tickets to dalhousie . i thought it was the name of a landmark bus stop – like flora fountain .
i always used to frequent the local trains in bombay . the best buses just scared me , because i would never know where to get down .
what scared me are the ` locals’ ( i mean the trains , not the people – bombaywallahs are generally a much nicer lot than dilliwallahs ) . the first time i was at a platform and the train pulled in , i went “huhhh ? ? ! how the hell am i supposed to get in there ? ”
i can imagine how you felt . boarding a local train is the litmus test !
my bambaiyya street creds still exist ! i boarded a train from vt at 5pm – with bags and bags of books and movies . i managed not only to hop into the compartment , or well , get myself shoved in , but also to be quick enough to get a window seat ! ya - ay me !
i took the easy way out and went in the ladies’ compartment – from andheri to vt – and managed to get a seat too . : - )
@ anu : getting in at vt doesn’t count . it is a starting station . but 5 pm gives it more credentials !
but i confess i chickened out on the way back and took a cab instead . ; - )
dusted off ji , simi garewal debuted in tarzan comes to india - 1962 , along with feroze khan , when she was just 15 year old . son of india came later . - arunkumar deshmukh
it’s been a long time since i watched the film , so i don’t remember exactly . have a look – it should be available on youtube .
so sad , i watched the movie yesterday evening and got disappointed watching its climax . i went through different versions , result was same . i think i saw it earlier during my childhood days , mya be 7 or 8 yrs old on doordarshan in the late 80s . i still remember , i think on weekends friday or saturday after 11pm there used to be a show on doordarshan , old hindi classics ( only b & w movies ) . feeling nostalgic thinking about those days when doordarshan was the only source of entertainment . btw your posts are indeed very nice , of high standard . . thanks for sharing here
yes , those good old days of doordarshan , when there was only one channel ! ( later , of course , the metro channel was added , and we thought that was supersleek ) . my sister and i , i remember , used to watch pretty much everything that was aired – we even watched graameen bhaiyon ke liye once or twice , because we were so bored . : - d
but i loved the fact that we got to see so many old hindi movies . especially around election time : they’d show entire retrospectives , and that used to be fantastic . almost all the popular movies ( and some not so well - known ones , too ) which i’ve seen i first saw as a child , on doordarshan .
thank you for the appreciation . : - ) i’m so glad you enjoy these posts !
well said , those nostalgic yesterdays will never return . actually i am a malayali , yet have always loved hindi songs and movies since childhood . as a child , i didn’t know hindi , yet loved old hindi songs a lot . thanks to dd .
that’s interesting ! we have a lot to thank dd for . : - )
oh , what a nice discussion between you two ! i think , we all , hindi song lovers should be grateful to dd . many songs and films , we saw first one dd . i have very blurred memories of films , as i used to remember only songs ! omg : - )
chitrahaar and rangoli during my childhood days of late 1980s and early 1990s . as am from kerala , i got to know about hindi songs only through this medium . in the second half of 1990s , i made vivid bharati radiostation my best companion and used to carry it wherever i go while at home .
with so many comments in replies , what’s in the color climax , that i detailed in sept 2016 post , perhaps is difficult to find . please search for my 2016 comment , on this page and you will find it . it has all the details from my vhs copy .
thank you . sandhya , you could try searching on this page . use ‘rana’ , i think , as a search term .
actually there is no where we could see that colour climax . searched all over the internet . can it be digitised and posted in youtube or somewhere . please . . since you have a vhs copy . may be you are the only ray of hope in this regard . there are 4 to 5 copies in youtube of the movie and none of them has the colour climax . : (
i did convert that missing scene from vhs to dvd , some 2 years ago . unfortunately , so far haven’t figured an easy way to convert from dvd to youtube compatible format . i did send that dvd copy to 4 - 5 friends and also asked them to post it ( reminded one of them just 2 - 3 days ago and he said he will ) on youtube . hopefully , it’ll get posted . i could mail the dvd to you , if you like .
dear sir it would so kind of you if you could mail me the hypnotic scene where dev sir decides nanda ( gurungkhem365 @ gmail . com ) . thank you very much
not the best dev anand film i suppose but so much loveliness in it . nanda looks so cute and i love it when dev sings aise toh na dekho to her ! ! but i think my heart beats to the tune of kahi bekhayal ho kar ! ! sublime…
i liked the songs . full stop . this was another maya to me , though this was an interesting premise let down by the script – that of a man who was attracted to three different woman , and had to make a choice . so many interesting possibilities ( that were squandered ) … and quite a daring theme actually – after all , pyaar ek baar hi hota hai as shahrukh so earnestly said ! and here was a man who was in love with three women – simultaeneously ! : ) )
