| My sketch of Kamal Hasan |
A touching song from the film Sadma that states a sad story
of showering uncondtiional love only to lose all at the end of it all.
Relationship between Kamal Hasan (in the role of Somu, a school teacher) and
Sridevi (in the role of Reshmi , trapped in a brothel, later however rescued by
Somu) is clearly one of a cusp caught between affection and love. Kamal is so warmly and affectionately called
as Somu by Sridevi while with him during her recovery from amnesia. And once
her memory is revived he is so coolly and coldly ditched by her, at the climax
of the movie. What an anticlimax this must have been for the heartbroken Kamal!
Little wonder that the result of a stellar above par performance of
Sridevi-Kamal Hasan pair not only made it to CNN-IBN’s list of “Greatest
Romantic Couples on Celluloid” but Kamal’s astounding performance sans many
sounds (his brilliant expressions said it all) helped the climax of Sadma
clinch into CNN-IBN list of “Bollywood’s 50 most memorable scenes of all time”.
In the song, Somu begs Reshmi to leave a sweet little dream
for him, to send him a soul to whom he can cling
Halka
pulka shabnami, resham se bhi reshami….sings the saddened Somu. Grant a dream – Yes, Reshmi did. Did it turn
true for Somu? Alas, it didn’t!
close. Soul that may be a bit
unknown, yet, that makes him feel like someone known. “Silken soft like morning
dew, light as the feather that flew” …
That’s the tragedy of this sad though soulstirring story!!
