Jana Natya Manch

'''Jana Natya Manch''' (People's Theatre Front; Janam for short) is a [[New Delhi]]-based amateur [[Theatre of India|theatre]] company specialising in left-wing [[street theatre]] in Hindi. It was founded in 1973 by a group of Delhi's radical theatre amateurs who sought to take theatre to the people. Theatre personality [[Safdar Hashmi]] is the best-known figure associated with the troupe.

Janam collects donations after each performance and funds its work in this manner. As a matter of policy, the group does not accept donations or grants from state, corporate or NGO agencies. The company does street as well as open-air proscenium performances, and also occasionally organises talks, discussions, workshops, exhibitions, film shows, etc.

The company has performed its plays in festivals organised by [[Prithvi Theatre]] ([[Mumbai]]), [[National School of Drama]] (New Delhi), Sahitya Kala Parishad (New Delhi), Natrang Pratishthan (New Delhi), Sangeet Natak Akademi ([[Kerala]]), Natya Akademi ([[West Bengal]]) and others.

So far this group of self-trained actors has done over 8,500 performances of nearly 80-odd street plays and 16 proscenium plays in about 140 cities in India. The company has performed outside India once, in spring 2007, when they toured the United States, performing, lecturing and conducting workshops on several university and colleges campuses.

== Early history ==

Janam was founded in 1973 by a group of Delhi’s left-wing theatre amateurs, who sought to take theatre to the people. It was inspired by the spirit of the [[Indian People’s Theatre Association]] (IPTA). Its early plays, though initially designed for the proscenium, were performed on makeshift stages and chaupals in the big and small towns and villages of North India. It also experimented with street skits.

Janam’s street theatre journey began in October 1978. The first play ''Machine'' with lyrical, stylised dialogues depicted the exploitation of industrial labour. Janam has played a significant role in popularising street theatre as a form of voicing anger and public opinion. It has done plays on price rise, elections, [[communalism]], economic policy, unemployment, trade union rights, globalisation, women’s rights, education system, etc. Some of its best-known street plays are ''Hatyare'', ''Samrath ko Nahi Dosh Gosain'', ''Aurat'', ''Raja ka Baja'', ''Apaharan Bhaichare Ka'', ''Halla Bol'', ''Mat Banto Insaan Ko'', ''Sangharsh Karenge Jitenge'', ''Andhera Aaftaab Mangega'', ''Jinhe Yakeen Nahin Tha'', ''Aartanaad'', ''Rahul Boxer'', ''Nahin Qabul'', ''Voh Bol Uthi'' and ''Yeh Dil Mange More Guruji''.

This form of theatre has become a vital cultural tool for workers, revolutionaries and social activists. Street theatre addresses topical events and social phenomenon and takes them straight to peoples’ places of work and residence.

== Safdar Hashmi ==
Safdar Hashmi was Janam's Convenor, who was killed in performance in 1989. The attack on Janam took place on 1 January that year, in Sahibabad, an industrial township on the outskirts of Delhi. The play being performed was ''Halla Bol'', in support of workers' demands. This play, and its previous version ''Chakka Jam'', were both done in support of a seven-day strike of industrial workers in November 1988. A spectator, Ram Bahadur, was also killed in the attack. There were massive protests all over the country following this murder and these protests led eventually to the formation of the Safdar Hashmi Memorial Trust (Sahmat) in Delhi.

Hashmi, a founder member of Janam, was a brilliant theoretician and practitioner of political theatre, especially street theatre. A versatile personality, he was a playwright, a lyricist, a theatre director, a designer and an organiser. He also wrote for children. His film scripts were much acclaimed. He wrote on various aspects of culture and related issues in journals and newspapers. Safdar was a member of the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)|C.P.I. (M)]]. In recognition of his contribution to the street theatre movement and to the growth of a democratic culture, the [[University of Calcutta]] in 1989 conferred on Safdar the degree of [[Doctor of Letters|D.Litt.]] [[wikt:posthumously|posthumously]].

Safdar was born to Haneef Hashmi and Qamar Azad on 12 April 1954 in Delhi. He spent his childhood in [[Aligarh]] and finished his schooling in Delhi. He did his M.A. in English literature from [[University of Delhi]]. After short stints of teaching in the universities of Garhwal, Kashmir and Delhi he worked in the Press Institute of India and then joined as the Press Information Officer of the Govt. of West Bengal in Delhi. In 1984 he gave up his job to work full-time as a political cultural activist. In 1980, [[Habib Tanvir]] directed the play ''Moti Ram ka Satyagraha'' for Janam.

Every year, Janam and [[Centre of Indian Trade Unions|CITU]] jointly organise an event to commemorate Hashmi's martyrdom at [[Jhandapur]], at the same place where the 1989 attack had taken place.

== Janam after Safdar ==

Since 1989 Janam has been engaged in both street and proscenium theatre (including ''Moteram ka Satyagraha'', ''Satyashodhak'', ''Varun ke Bete'', ''Hum Yahin Rahenge'', ''Ek Aurat Hypatia Bhi Thi''). In 1993 it began a bilingual theatre quarterly ''Nukkad Janam Samvaad'' and also instituted the Safdar Hashmi Memorial Lecture series.

Among Janam’s recent proscenium plays is ''Aazadi Ne Jab Dastak Di'', based on Manini Chatterjee’s book ''Do and Die''. In January 2004, Janam created ''Bush ka Matlab Jhadi'' (Bush is a just a bush!), a multimedia presentation celebrating the anti-imperialist sentiment the world over. The play used giant masks, video projection, and live music to create a hilarious expose of the US-UK role in [[Iraq]], their ambitions of world conquest, and the people’s resistance to it. The play was the outcome of Janam’s collaboration with many artists including Surajit Sarkar (video artist), Arunkumar (sculptor), Kriti Arora (artist), Kanishka Prasad (architect), and Ashish Ghosh (music director). This 45-minute play was commissioned by the World Social Forum in Mumbai.

Later in 2004 Janam produced a proscenium play ''Shambookvadh'' on the question of caste. This play is scripted by Brijesh, has music by Kajal Ghosh, and is directed by Sudhanva Deshpande. The play was invited to the National School of Drama’s theatre festival in 2006, and to the Prithvi Festival in November 2006. In the summer of 2008, Janam produced ''Ulte Hor Zamaaney Aye'', a proscenium play written by Brijesh, with music by Kajal Ghosh and directed by Sudhanva Deshpande. This was a [[black comedy]] about a woman who struggles to get treatment for her husband, who is initially mistaken for a bomb blast victim in a hospital, but dropped like a hot brick when they find out he is actually an industrial worker.

Among Janam’s recent street plays, ''Yeh Dil Mange More Guruji'' is on the attempts of the Hindu Right brigade to destroy India’s secular and democratic framework; ''Aakhri Juloos'' is on the right to protest; ''Yeh Bhi Hinsa Hai'' is a play against the growing violence on women; ''One Two ka Four'' is a reworked version of an earlier play, ''Nahi Qubool'', on the nuclear deal; ''Yeh Hum Kyon Sahen'' is on the conditions of workers in and around Delhi.

== Safar, the mobile theatre ==

In 1997 Janam constructed an innovative and dismantleable mobile theatre, Safar (acronym for Safdar Rangmanch), to take proscenium plays to [[working class]] areas. Safar is a flexible, innovative structure designed by Janak Mistry. It is set up by the actors of Janam wherever they go to perform their large proscenium plays, and is equipped with lights and a sound system. It can be used for a variety of purposes, and various kinds of spaces can be created in it. It can seat about 600-700 people.

== Studio Safdar, Shadi pur ==
In 2012, Janam moved into its own space. Located about 6 km west of [[Connaught Place, New Delhi|Connaught Place]] is a neighbourhood known as Shadi Khampur, where the group has created a small black box theatre, called Studio Safdar. Janam also has premises on the top floor of the same building, and uses the open terrace to do its own rehearsals. Studio Safdar is envisaged as a space that can used by theatre and other artists to experiment in, create new work, and to show it. The larger idea of how the space came into being and the activities therein within the first year of its establishment are explained by Sudhanva Deshpande in interviews [http://www.mumbaitheatreguide.com/dramas/interviews/15-sudhanva-deshpande-interview.asp here] and [https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/for-the-people/article4539944.ece here]. Next door to Studio Safdar is the May Day Bookstore and Cafe, managed and run by [[LeftWord Books]].

==Reception==
After releasing film's trailer, it has created a very good buzz among the audience and the industry.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/carbon-trailer-nawazuddin-siddiqui-prachi-desai-and-jackky-bhagnani-starrer-is-a-story-of-tomorrow-watch-video-4769650/|title=Carbon trailer: Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Prachi Desai and Jackky Bhagnani starrer is ‘a story of tomorrow’. Watch video|date=27 July 2017|accessdate=6 June 2020}}</ref>

When the film released it got positive responses for the concept from the critics.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/carbon-review-this-short-film-offers-intelligent-important-sci-fi-let-down-by-lazy-execution-3960851.html|title=Carbon review: This short film offers intelligent, important sci-fi, let down by lazy execution- Entertainment News, Firstpost|date=22 August 2017|website=Firstpost|accessdate=6 June 2020}}</ref> Actor [[Sushant Singh Rajput]] praises the film by saying, "Generally, we talk about cause after the effect has taken place, but there are very few instances where we talk about effect before cause. 'Carbon' is a very well-intentioned film and a required film at this point of time. It talks about an immediate issue, so I want to congratulate Jackky for that. I have seen the trailer and I really liked it. I feel the concept of the film is really good, and puts a question mark on the whole system."<ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/sushant-singh-rajput-praises-jackky-bhagnanis-carbon/articleshow/60184056.cms Sushant Singh Rajput praises Jackky Bhagnani's 'Carbon']</ref> [[Hindustan Times]] said, "The short film plays up the current socio-political equations and sets them in a world almost 50 years from now.

The plot may sound interesting, but sadly the unrelatable characters and dull dialogue delivery play spoilsport. Even if the first 15 minutes are bearable and support the plotline, it still is a failed attempt."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/carbon-short-film-review-this-jackky-bhagnani-and-nawazuddin-siddiqui-starrer-is-a-damp-squib-4808540/|title=Carbon short film review: This Jackky Bhagnani and Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer is a damp squib|date=22 August 2017|accessdate=6 June 2020}}</ref>

'''Muzaffar Adeeb''' (1934 – 26 May 2006), known mononymously as '''Adeeb''', was a [[Pakistan]]i [[film]] [[actor]]. He appeared in 38 Indian films from 1940 to 1962, although he did not start performing in films very actively until the 1950s. In 1962, he shifted from [[Bombay]] (now Mumbai), [[India]], to [[Lahore]], [[Pakistan]] and resumed his film career that lasted until his death with over 500 films to his credit.<ref name=Dawn>{{cite news | url=https://www.dawn.com/news/194197/filmstar-adeeb-dies | title=Filmstar Adeeb dies | newspaper=[[Dawn (newspaper)|Dawn]] | date=27 May 2006 | accessdate=16 March 2019}}</ref><ref name=citwf>[http://www.citwf.com/person67085.htm actor Adeeb's filmography on Complete Index To World Film (C.I.T.W.F.) website] Retrieved 16 March 2019</ref>

==Early life and career==
He was born in Bombay in a conservative [[Pashtun people|Pakhtun]] (Pathan) family from [[Kashmir]]. His family moved on to Bombay before [[independence of Pakistan]] in 1947 and that is where the actor in him emerged, after the completion of his [[Master's Degree]] in [[Urdu literature]] from [[Bombay University]], Maharashtra. Unlike his contemporaries, scriptwriting was the first love of Adeeb, who worked in the scriptwriting department with [[Raj Kapoor]]'s father, Prithvi Raj Kapoor, in [[Prithvi Theatre]] and later with Indian National Theatre as assistant director. It is during this time in India that he got to know the basics of acting which later helped him entertain 2 generations of audience.<ref name=Dawn/>

Although he worked in minor roles in his initial career, it was [[Zia Sarhadi]]'s ''[[Footpath (1953 film)|Footpath]]'' (1953) that gave him his first breakthrough role opposite [[Dilip Kumar]], [[Meena Kumari]] and [[Anwar Hussain (actor)|Anwar Hussain]] ([[Nargis]]'s brother). He worked in 30 films during his stay in India including ''[[Mehndi]]'', ''Pak Daman'' (1956) and ''Jung'', before migrating to Pakistan in 1962, on the insistence of director Akbar Ali Akku and actor/director Iqbal Yusuf, son of Adeeb's close friend, director S.M. Yusuf. He settled in [[Karachi]] and later moved on to [[Lahore]] in search of roles which kept pouring in from the 1960s until his last film – Syed Noor's super-hit [[Majajan]] (2006).

In an era when on-screen villainy in Pakistani films was ruled by good looking villains such as [[Aslam Pervaiz]], Masood Akhtar and even [[Mohammad Ali (actor)|Mohammad Ali]] (in his initial films), Adeeb made his entry with ''Daal Mein Kala'' (1964), which was directed by Iqbal Yusuf and featured [[Syed Kamal]] and [[Bahar Begum]] in the lead along with late actors Nirala and Mohammad Ali.<ref name=Dawn/>

In the coming years, he became a close friend of Mohammad Ali and the two acted in numerous successful films such as [[Kaneez (1965 film)]], ''Aadil (1966)'' and ''Baghi Sardar'' (1966), ''Hatim Tai'' (1967), ''Mahal'' (1968), ''Naaz'' (1969), ''Aansoo Ban Gaye Moti'' (1970), ''Dushman'' (1974), ''Shirin Farhad'' (1975), ''Haider Ali'' (1979), ''Josh'', ''Sangram'' (1981), ''Zanjeer'' (1986) with ''Rocky Dada'' being their last film together in 1987.<ref name=citwf/>

He was at ease in both [[Urdu]] and [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]] films, playing memorable roles in countless films opposite other actors such as [[Sultan Rahi]] in ''[[Maula Jatt]] (1979)'' and ''Andaata'', [[Waheed Murad]] in ''Eid Mubarak (1965)''<ref name=Dawn/> and [[Kaneez (1965 film)]],<ref name=Dawn/> ''Saaz Aur Awaaz'' (1965), ''[[Rishta Hai Pyar Ka]]'' (1967), ''Aik Nagina'' (1969), ''Afsana'' (1970) and ''Dushman'' (1974), [[Syed Kamal]] in ''Daal Main Kaala'' (1962) and ''Shab Bakhair'' and Nadeem in ''Talaash'' (1986), ''Ustadon Kay Ustad'' (1990) and ''Khazana'' (1995). Late directors – [[Saeed Khan Rangeela|Rangeela]]'s ''[[Diya Aur Toofan (1969 film)]]'' and [[Riaz Shahid]]'s ''Gharnata and Yeh Aman'' (both 1971) – gave Adeeb tailor-made roles in their films to show his true potential. He was one of the few actors to work with actor Shaan's father, [[Riaz Shahid]], and portray the character of his on-screen father.

During his last years, he was more active on stage than in films and depicted the role of Sir [[Syed Ahmed Khan]] in one of his last TV plays. In a career spanning over 50 years, Adeeb featured in more than 500 films, depicting villainous roles in different shades such as a deceiving brother, cruel father, nasty husband, dishonest friend and brutal landlord.

==Death==
Adeeb died on March 26, 2006, at the [[Punjab Institute of Cardiology]], [[Lahore]], where he was admitted after suffering a [[heart attack]] the previous week.<ref name=Dawn/>
