Did you know? Baijnath Mishra, popular as Baiju Bawra (Crazy Baiju) was a Dhrupad musician. For the unversed, Dhrupad is a type of Hindustan classical music. He was titled ‘Bawra’ because he was desperate to beat Tansen – the master, the highest of the high, the one everyone bows down to when it comes to music, the jewel of Emperor Akbar’s court. He dates back to the medieval period of the Mughals.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the master of his world with aesthetically perfect, fancy Indian traditional sets and outfits, characters loaded with culture, jewelry and personality, Bhansali is the talent behind Bajirao Mastani, Ram Leela, Padmaavat, Gangubai Kathiawadi, Devdas, Mary Kom and the unforgettable Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam that recently turned 24. When he says he articulated every intricate thought, every cognitive skill to piece this movie together for 2 full decades, we can say the movie evolved with him, it grew inside him from the stage of a sapling.
Finally, this plowed seed is read to bloom into a fully grown flower as Sanjay Leela Bhansali announces he’s going to begin solidifying his movie Baiju Bawra, about the aforementioned musician. In 1952, filmmaker Vijay Bhatt came up with the film Baiju Bawra, which starred Bharat Bhushan and Meena Kumari. Ever since then, Bhansali’s mind has been dragged back to Bawra, actually driving him insane, pushing him to bring this masterpiece back in the 21st century.
