Hullo Atuldom

Heard a song this morning after almost 45-46 years.

It was from “Amar Shakti”(1978) which was produced by A.K.Nadiadwala & directed by Harmesh Malhotra. It had Sulakshana Pandit, Shashi Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha leading the cast with Pradeep Kumar, Jeevan, Om Shivpuri, Ranjeet, Roopesh Kumar, Indrani Mukherjee, Alka, Murad, Birbal, B.M. Vyas etc. playing supporting characters.

Manjula who was from South India; active in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada films, played a banjaran character in the film. She was seen in a few Hindi films of the late 1970s.

The songs of “Amar Shakti” were written by Anand Bakshi & composed by Laxmikant – Pyarelal. Asha Bhonsle, Sulakshana Pandit, Chandrani Mukherjee, with Kishore Kumar & Mohd. Rafi being the male singers.

The story of the film was of the typical “lost and found” story, where there is also a royal family involved. Since it was the story of royals, inheritance etc there has to be a scheming Diwan & a sulking brother of the King- Jeevan & Pradeep Kumar played these characters. There is a Maharaj (Murad) who becomes ill on hearing of the assassination of his Yuvraj & his wife. The Maharaj is also poisoned to death, but somehow the young Rajkumars (sons of the Yuvraj I think) escape or are saved. They come back as grownups to regain their lost titles etc. Along the way, there are the usual twists & turns, where the brothers are unaware of the relation between them (to start with). Then one brother is in love with the traitor’s (who is the current Maharaj) daughter & is also the Senapati of the land. This naturally puts the brothers on opposite sides of the law, before they discover their identities & unite before the HAPPY ENDING. Very typical!!!!

Today’s song happens after the brothers have found each other. They are celebrating in the ‘kabeela’ which had given shelter to one of the brothers & the palace nanny (Indrani Mukherjee). The princess (Sulakshana Pandit) also joins the dance routine. The lady in the red costume is Manjula.

With this song we also remember the super sweet, cute, handsome, Shashi kapoor on what would have been his 86th birthday. He had worked in 4 films as child star (from 1948-53) before making his debut as an adult in ‘Dharmputra’ that released in 1961. He was about 23 then, but already married to Jennifer Kendall. It was ‘Jab Jab Phool Khile’ (1965) opposite Nanda that helped him find a place among popular actors of the 1970s & much of the 1980s.

He had acted in around 160 films before he took retirement from films sometime in late 1990s. He had acted in 12 English & 148 Hindi films – solo hero films were 61 & 53 were in multi-starrers. He was seen playing supporting characters roles in 21 films (has played father to Govinda, I remember). “Ghar Bazar” which released in 1999 was Shashi Kapoor’s last film, his was a special appearance in the film which released 10 years after it was completed.

Here is the song that shows the handsome Shashi Kapoor who was a good actor but an average dancer. Kudos to the choreographer for giving the heroes horses in the middle of the song and making things easy for them.

o o o o
mujhko bhi tum apne kaabil karo
apnon mein mujhko bhi shaamil karo
yeh zindagaani ek safar hai
meree tumhaaree
meri tumhaari ek dagar hai

amar hai shakti
shakti amar hai

amar hai shakti
shakti amar hai

aa hey

yeh sabko khabar hai
sabko pata hai

amar hai shakti
shakti amar hai

amar hai shakti
shakti amar hai
