Master jee ki aa gayi chithhi
Posted September 5, 2012
on:Today (5 september) is an important day in India for a non musical reason too. It is the birthday of Dr. Sarwapalli Radhakrishnan (5 september 1888 – 17 april 1975), who was India’s second president and prior to that he had made his mark as an eminent scholar and philosopher. He was knighted by Britain in 1931 and he was accorded “Bharat Ratna”, India’s highest civilian honour in 1954. In honour of Dr Radhakrishnan as a scholar, this day is celebrated in India as teacher’s day.
As far as Hindi movies are concerned, we do not find actors studying even if they are sometimes depicted as students. 🙂 So one can imagine that there are hardly any songs on teachers and pupils in Hindi movies. But they are there, nevertheless.
Gulzar’s “Kitaab” (1977) is one movie which takes a sympathetic look at a school kid and describes his feelings.
It is a Meghna Movies production. It is produced by Gulzar and Pranlal Mehta and directed by Gulzar. The movie was based on a Bangla author Samaresh Basu’s story called “Pathik” (viz traveller). The movie had Uttam Kumar, Vidya Sinha, Ram Mohan, Om Shivpuri, Dina Pathak, Master Raju Shreshta, Master Tito, Shree Ram Lagoo, Master Lucky, Master Anees, Master Pankaj, Rajaa Bakshi, Indrani Mukherjee, Keshto Mukherjee, Asit Sen, T.P.Jain, Kamal Deep, Pardesi, Ranveer Raj,Amol Sen, Chandoo, Vasant Baburao, Nandlaal Sharma etc in it.
Here is a fantastic song from “Kitaab” (1977). The picturisation shows school kids letting their hair down as there is no teacher around. After doing the usual stuff like flying paper planes etc, the kids break into a song about the teacher getting a letter (Master jee ki aa gay chitthi). They let their imagination goo wild about the contents of the letter.
The song is sung by Shivangi Kolhapure, Padmini Kolhapure and chorus and they have done a superb job in singing the song. And it is the witty and imaginative lyrics penned by Gulzar that keep the listeners amused and in splits throughout the song. The music is composed by R D Burman , of course. The song is picturised on several kids, viz. Master Raju Shrestha, Master Tito, Master Anees, Master Pankaj, Master Lucky etc.
The song stops when a student notices the arrival of the teacher (Om Shivpuri) and alerts others. The students quickly get organised and go back to their seats as if they were doing nothing. But one of the kids, a major participant in the singing falls down. The teacher notices it and enquires what happened. The kid, applying the recently acquired knowledge from science class explains that his centre of gravity had got destabilised which caused him to fall. 🙂

Well, Uttam Kumar birth day was on sept. 3…I am not sure if any songs was done here.
Have a great respect for Dr. Sarwapalli. He was a very peaceful man. India was lucky to have him at the forefront when North-south was in turmoil. I wish he had won the Nobel Prize in Literature!
Once I had chance to hear Shivangi Kolhapure in private gethering.
But this duet is par excellence.

derubalaji, these links are meant to be downloaded thru torrent (of course, not legal, but then people download and watch stuff thru youtube which is also not legal in many cases 🙂 ). If u have Comcast/ATT high speed connection, in less than a day, u can download this.
Amitabh collection is kinda custom. Someone has put together music of all his movies, so thats not something available to purchase from anywhere. The other 2 I tried to look it up online, but I dont see anyone selling them online, except individual CDs from Parichay series are being offered on ebay, for example:

Same question as Derublaji. I do have collection called “Legends” (5 discs collection) of Mohd. Rafi, Lata M, Asha B, Kishore K, Manna Dey, Raj Kapoor, Madan Mohan, but so many of my fav songs are missing. Need to collect/buy some more cds. Let me know if you have any more info on purchasing these products. Thanks.
