My list of ‘songs that create nostalgia and brings back memories’ include many songs sung by Rafi Saab, viz. ‘jhoomta saawan dekho aaya’, ‘shikaar karne ko aaye shikaar hoke chale’ etc.

The song under discussion today is one of those songs. When this film was released I was one year old, so I think that I must have watched this film when I must be of 5 or 6 years old.

Nightingale Noorjehan – 3
—————————

‘Phoolon mein nazar yeh kaun aaya’ is Noorjehan’s fourth song from the 1946 Film ‘Hamjoli’ to appear in the blog. one song from this movie ‘yeh desh hamara pyaara’ was already discussed earlier on this blog before I took up the task of discussing her songs in the blog.

Somehow I missed seeing this film, as till 1949 I was in a small town, where the touring cinema used to come once in a while. After coming to Mumbai (then Bombay), in 1949, I started seeing cinema with a vengeance. To see films which were not the current runners I used to visit the locations, where second and third run films were shown in a small group of theaters. They were in an area known as Pilhouse, (from original Play House), generally prohibited area for students and so called ‘decent people’, as it was in the ‘red light district’. The system in those theaters was very convenient for any time visiters, as you could buy a ticket and enter at any time and could sit through the next show to complete the beginning of the film which you had missed initially. You could even sit till the end of the film if you wished. So many musical films I had sat through and had seen them one and a half times!! I still repent that I could not see some of Noorjehan’s films like Hamjoli, Badi Maa, Dost, Duhayee etc during that period..

Waqt ki Deewar (1981) starred today’s birthday girl Sulakshana Pandit and birthday boy Sanjeev Kumar as the romantic pair. The other pair being Jeetendra with Neetu Singh (yesterday’s birthday gal). The supporting cast included Pran-Kadar Khan- Amjad Khan-Satyen Kappu-Preeti Ganguly-Paintal etc. {What a support system} The movie was directed by Ravi Tandon; T C Dewan was the producer, Laxmi Pyare were the music directors and Anjaan the lyricist. The movie was a typical run-of-the mill LOST AND FOUND drama where the heroes Munna and Vikram get separated after their mother’s death. One of them becomes a conman the other is looked after by Pran and becomes a police inspector (how original). Through the movie their paths keep crossing but they are unaware of each other’s identity till the last half an hour of the movie. Poor chaps!! But the movie makes us sit through close to two and half hours by which time Pran dies in making the two understand that they are brothers, the brothers find their father (Kader Khan) and their love interests. All izz well in the end.

Today (9 july 2015) is the 77th birth anniversary of Sanjeev Kumar (9 July 1938 – 6 November 1985). In a movie world where most actors were afraid of playing roles other than the ones they were typed cast in, Sanjeev Kumar would play any kind of roles, without worrying about his past image as an actor. He would play the roles that other heroes would not touch with a barge pole, and he would carry them off with aplomb. He had played roles of mentally challenged man (in Khilona-1970), Deaf and dumb (in Koshish), father of an actor older than him (father of Shashi Kapoor in Trishul), Husband, father as well as father in law of the same actress (Jaya Bhaduri) in different movies, etc. And I have not yet mentioned his role of Thakur in Sholay (1975). In “Naya Din Nayi Raat”, he played nine roles !

In brief, Sanjeev Kumar was an actor who never allowed himself to be typedcast. He accepted any kinds of roles, not worrying how that role was going to affect his image. And he came up with flying colours in all these roles.
