Andaz Apna Apna
Episode Background
Welcome to the opening Episode of Jhumka Jhumur series!
The title is of course inspired by the cult Hindi movie of 1994 directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, but this episode’s essence comes from another Bollywood blockbuster of the 70’s – Andaz.
That movie marked the entry of the successful script writing duo of Salim-Javed into Bollywood as a team and also featured the evergreen hit of Kishore da – “Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana.”
This song forms the genesis of Episode 1 as it revolves around one of its’ antaras.
Ironically, the album of this film was one of the last of music directors Shankar- Jaikishan as the latter passed away in the same year at the young age of 42 only.
So, with this background let us move on to the episode!
Jhumur is having an usual day at home, dusting her son Ishaan’s study room. She is humming this above mentioned song which is one of her favourites!
The End

Very well coordinated and refreshing. The blend of comic series and filmy stuff is entertaining. It sends across a message of accepting yourself and being less bothered by opinions. Everyone is entitled to carve a niche for oneself.
