Today (18 november 2019) is thr 118th birth anniversary of V Shantaram (18 november 1901- 30 october 1990).
When one looks at the career of V Shantaram, one can only be amazed. He made his debut as an actor in 1921 in a silent movie “Surekha Haran”(1921). His last movie was as a director in “Jhanjhaar”(1987).
After acting in a few silent moves, he turned director with “Netaji Palkar.”
He acted, produced and directed many movies, including some movies that are considered landmark movies in the annals of Indian cinema.
“Ayodhyache Raja”(1932), directed by him under “Prabhat Films” was the first Marathi talkie. It was also made in Hindi as “Ayodhya Ka Raja”(1932). “Maaya Machhindra”(1932) also came in the same year. “Amar Jyoti”(1936), “Aadmi”(1939) and “Padosi”(1941) were some well known Prabhat talkies films directed by him.
He then left Prabhat and formed Rajkamal Kala Mandir. More than twenty movies were produced by Rajkamal. “Dr Kotnis Ki Amar Kahaani”(1946), “Jhanak Jhanak Paayal Baaje”(1955), “Do Aankhen Baarah Haath”(1957), “Navrang”(1959), “Stree”(1961), “Sehra”(1963), “Geet Gaaya Pattharon Ne”(1964) etc were some of his memorable movies under this banner.
On the occasion of his birth anniversary, here is a song from “Jal Bin Machhli Nrity Bin Bijli”(1971). This movie was produced and directed by V Shantaram. The movie had Abhijeet(Introducing),Sandhya, Dina Gandhi aka Dina Pathak, Raja Paranjape, Vatsala Deshmukh, Iftekhar, Birbal, Vasant Parekh, Ravindra, Paresh Nanda, Nanda, Basant and new artists Minal, Praveen Kumar, child star Sushant Ray.
The song is sung by Lata. Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal.
The song is preceded by several minutes of dance. And what a dance performance ! A few days ago, I had discussed a “snake” dance which I thought was one of a kind. Here is another one of a kind dance. It is picturised as a “snake-peacock-Eagle” dance. The dance director Praveen Kumar has done a great job choreographing this dance. Incidentally, the term choreography was not known those days.
The dance is picturised on Sandhya and Minal. Abhijeet and Raja Paranjpe are also visible in the picturisation.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.
The song (including the dance) is nearly ten minutes long. And every second of this long song is worth watching.

The 1987 movie directed by V.Shantaram is ‘Jhanjhaar’ (Fire) (as also spelled on its posters) and not Jhaanjar”(1987), I think (if both do not have same meaning?)

People with better ears should help.

Many thanks for this post Atul ji and thanks Prakash ji for this wonderful song. I was also preparing the post with the same song, but could not finish it. During the preparation of this song I had watched it many times.
Actually there is a anecdote related to this song of how I came to know about this song. In 1985-1986 when I started collecting cassettes and was also getting recorded some cassettes for selected compilation that one of my Boss asked me to look for this song. At that time, being a Kaka fan, I bought the cassette of ‘Apna Desh-1970’ thinking that the song was ‘kajra lagaake, gajra sajaake…’. Later on I came to know about this song from ‘Jal Bin Machhli Nritya Bin Bijli’ and after coming into contact with this blog I was longing for seeing it here.
I had watched the movie in parts only, and need to watch it full.
Still two songs from this movie are remaining, so I can take a chance 🙂
Thanks again,
