Mumtaz's
Mumtaz could be considered the most underrated Bollywood movie star of the 60s and 70s. She was never given the critical accolades that lesser stars received and producers and directors never gave her the plumb lead roles she deserved. However in the over 120 films she appeared in Mumtaz shone. Maybe it was her vivaciousness and carefree spontaneous energy that turned her off to the critics that just couldn't seem to take her seriously? She was in the 60s full of 'zing' she was groovy, Mumtaz was Mod maybe too Mod for a traditional 'serious' star.
In the rollicking sixties comedy, Pyar Kiye Jaa, a still adolescent Mumtaz played a naive starlet who dreams of seeing her name up on billboards. In hindsight, the role seemed to have a few semi-autobiographical shades. Mumtaz started her career as a bit role player, made the transition to stunt hero's arm candy (Samson, Rustom-e-Hind), to vamp (Mere Sanam, Kaajal), to comedian's girl (Pyar Kiye Jaa), to second lead (Humraaz, Aadmi Aur Insaan), before finally striking it big as a much sought after leading lady who gave three hits with superstar Rajesh Khanna (Do Raaste, Bandhan, Sachcha Jhoothaa), in a span of just six months.
She oozed oodles of oomph, but the appeal of the bubblacious, button-nosed beauty lay significantly in her innate joi de vivre, dazzlingly expressed in sunlit smiles and sparkling-like-champagne eyes. Despite the fact that Mumtaz had all the prerequisites of a made-to-order Hindi film heroine --- she could dance, pout, exude sex appeal and speak Hindi fluently --- she was relegated to supporting roles for a long chunk of her abbreviated-by-marriage career.
Mumtaz, accompanied by her sister Mallika, began carrying her vanity box to studios when other children her age were carrying a lunch box to school. Her infectious insouciance, evident even in early films like Sehra and Rustom Sohrab, soon gave her an edge over her sister Mallika. Mumu, as she was known, started zooming up the ladder of success, one rung at a time. She accepted small roles in big films like Mujhe Jeene Do and big roles in B-grade stunt films like Boxer, Samson, Tarzan and King Kong. In the 1960s, she starred in as many as 16 actioners with freestyle wrestler Dara Singh.
However, even while she held the audience's gaze captive with simmering sensuality in songs like Yeh hai reshmi (Mere Sanam), and Aye dushman jaan (Patthar Ke Sanam), she always kept her eyes open for the big chance. Lore has it that when the hazel-eyed beauty Rajshri gave her father V Shantaram a run around for the dates of Boond Jo Ban Gayi Moti (1967), the veteran maker decided to prove a point to his errant daughter and replaced her with second runger Mumtaz.
Also, the role of Dilip Kumar's sugarcane-chewing, fire-spitting lover in Nagi Reddy's Ram Aur Shyam (1967) proved a boon for Mumtaz. Destiny delayed Mumtaz's success, but failed to deprive her of her share of limelight. While Ram Aur Shyam gave Mumtaz the A-level stamp, she had to wait two years before she was anointed the box-office princess.
Mumtaz's fairytale story had a prince in it too. At the peak of her career, Mumtaz married millionaire Mayur Madhwani. She quit films in 1974, even as her starrers Roti, Aap Ki Kasam and Chor Machaye Shor were creating a shor in the theatres.
Mumtaz busied herself with cooking for her husband, caring for her two daughters, Natasha and Tanya, and surviving a hiccup in her married life. An attempt to comeback to films with David Dhawan's Aandhiyan (1990) 16 years after she had left the profession proved disastrous --- the trousers-sporting, middle-aged mem was not the phataka the audience had loved in Dushman and Apna Desh.
For the last couple of years, Mumtaz has been battling with cancer. But she still retains that spirit that saw her rise from being Rajendra Kumar's sister in Gehra Daag to his romantic lead in Tangewala, from the heroine Shashi Kapoor refused to work with in Sachcha Jhootha (eventually Rajesh Khanna stepped in the role) to the heroine he sought out for Chor Machaye Shor.
