# Lyricist Javed Akhtar’s Birthday #
——————————————————————–
Today, 17th January 2025 is the 80th birthday of Writer, Poet and Lyricist Javed Akhtar. He was born on 17th January 1945 at Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh). Javed Akhtar, who started his film career as a screen play writer with Salim Khan, came from a family of Poets. His father Jan Nisar Akhtar was an Urdu poet and lyricist while his grandfather and his great grandfather’s elder brother were also poets.
After a successful pairing with Salim Khan for many movies they separated in 1981. Post separation i.e. in 1981-1982 Javed Akhtar continued writing for movies as an independent screen writer and wrote many successful movies like ‘Betaab-1983’, ‘Mashaal-1983’, ‘Saagar-1985’, ‘Arjun-1985’, ‘Meri Jung-1985’, ‘Dacait-1987’, ‘Main Aazaad Hoon-1989’ etc. Simultaneously with writing for movies he moved on to writing lyrics for the movies. He began his journey as a lyricist with the movie ‘Silsila-1981’. So far, he has penned songs for more than one hundred movies. As a lyricist he has given us many memorable songs and many songs with highly meaningful poetry. His lyrics for the movies ‘Saaz-1996’, ‘Border-1997’, ‘Godmother-1998’, ‘Refugee-2000’, and ‘Lagaan-2001’ fetched him the ‘Best Lyricist’ award at the National Awards. He has also won many Filmfare awards for his screenplay writing and also as a lyricist.
Today on lyricist Javed Akhtar’s birthday I present a song from the movie ‘Gardish-1993’ i.e. the movie where the music was composed by R.D. Burman. As mentioned by me in my earlier post today, today I will be presenting a few songs from the Javed Akhtar-Pancham collaboration.
‘Gardish-1992’ was produced by R. Mohan for Good Knight Films and was directed by Priyadarshan. It had Jackie Shroff, Amrish Puri, Farida Jalal, Shammi Kapoor, Kunika, Asrani, Dimple Kapadia, Raj Babbar, Rakesh Bedi, Tej Sapru, Anand Mahadevan, Suresh Oberoi, Annu Kapoor and Shagufta Ali. This movie introduced Aiswarya (from South) and Mukesh Rishi. The story of this movie was written by A.K. Lohitadas. Its dialogues were written by Suraj Sanim. Priyadarshan who directed this movie also wrote the screen play for it. Vishwanathan Vaduthala, Mohan Payyanoor, Vijay. K. Bhavan, Sonu Sisupal assisted in the direction of this movie. Also, there were II- & III-unit directors – R.R. Shinde and Murali Nagavally respectively. The editing of this movie was done by N. Goplakrishnan. Santosh Sivan was the Director of Cinematography of this movie. Choreography of this movie was done by Sundaram, Prabu Deva and Suchitra. Background music was scored by S.P. Venkatesh. This movie has six songs penned by Javed Akhtar. And the music for this movie was composed by R.D. Burman. The singers for this movie are Asha Bhonsle, M.G. Sreekumar and S.P. Balasubramaniam.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 19th August 1993. It was a remake of Malayalam movie ‘Kireedam’. Its remake was also made in Telugu, Kannada before the Hindi version and later in Bengali and Tamil. As mentioned earlier I had watched this movie twice – once at Kota (I was staying at Kota then) and once at Indore during my ‘in-transit’ halt while travelling from Kota to Parli-Vaijnath.
For those who have not watched this movie I would sum up the storyline. However, I wish that those who have not watched this movie should watch it for the powerful performances especially by Jackie Shroff, Amrish Puri, Dimple Kapadia and Mukesh Rishi and others. I would also like to mention the role played by Annu Kapoor wherein he is playing an educated unemployed who accidentally become a beggar for survival, but capitalizing on it he goes on to employ many educated unemployed into his ‘business’ (empire of ‘bhikharees’😊, and he also ‘innovatively’ deputes each of them according to their ‘relevant qualification’ for placement of ‘begging’ at a particular ‘location/field’. It’s a cynical comedy type role and Annu Kapoor has given his very best in this role.
– The tagline on the posters of the movie – ‘Wanted to be a man of law, now wanted by the law’ i.e. the protagonist in the movie – the hero- Jackie Shroff.
– Amrish Puri, who plays the father to Jackie Shroff in this movie, is a Havaldar in Police and always dreaming of his song becoming a Police Inspector (the movie starts with this scene in Police Station …)
– However, life takes a turn for the hero who was an aspiring Police Officer who took on ‘criminals’ to save his father first, then his Sister and finally ending up killing the goon … Shiva (Jackie Shroff) is arrested by Police for the offence…
– The movie ends with Amrish Puri submitting a police verification report for his son’s Police Job to his senior Suresh Oberoi mentioning that as per the police verification report Shiva (Jackie Shroff) cannot become a police officer since he is a ‘criminal’ now …
Today’s song is a lovely duet song picturized on Jackie Shroff and Aiswarya where they are lip-syncing in the voices of S.P. Balasubramaniam and Asha Bhonsle respectively.
Let us now listen to this lesser heard song.
