Eena meena deeka
Posted on: November 13, 2008
In 1940s and 1950s, Bollywood music was undergoing a period of transition. New kinds of music were being introduced. One was the introduction of folk music from different parts of India. Another was a mixture of such folk music with classical music.

Legend has it that Salil Chaudhari, the leading music director of 1950s refused to take Kishore Kumar seriously on finding out that Kishore Kumar was untrained in classical music. But when he listened to Kishore Kumar’s voice, Salil Chaudhari changed his opinion and agreed to use Kishore Kumar’s voice in his forthcoming movie called “Naukri”, where Kishore Kumar incidentally was acting too.

Kishore Kumar as an actor-cum Singer had started to figure in movies in 1950s. In many movies, he was even the hero.
New Delhi (1956) was one such movie. One thing that I epecially find appealing is the fact that one gets to see about Delhi of 1950s in this movie, and that Delhi is so different from the present day Delhi that we know.

It is undeniably one of the funniest picturisation of a funny song in the history of Bollywood movies. Kishore Kumar and Mehmood, two of the funniest men in Bollywood combine in this song, along with a support cast of Sunil Dutt, Saira Bano and others, and the result is a laugh riot.

Another rare gem. This song from Doosra Aadmi is sung by comedian Deven Verma on himself, and the female voice is Pamela Chopra’s who was the wife of Yash Chopra, the maker of this movie.
The lyrics has a word like Sanwariya mentioned prominently. And guess what, Ranbir Kapoor whose debut movie was called “Sanwariya” was not born then, but one can clearly see Ranbir Kapoor connection in this song. His mother and father play the married couple in this song, as they did in many movies together at that time.

This song is a great discovery, I must say. This song is filmed on Danny, then an esoteric looking item of curiosity for Bollywood movie watchers. He looked every bit a chinky that his Sikkimese origin warranted, and moreover, he had yet to become accepted as an actor for mainstream roles. With time, his looks became accepted as mainstream, and he in fact started playing roles like Thakur saab, Heroine’s baap etc.

Chhoti si ye zindgani re

Mukesh sings a wonderful philosophical song penned by Shailendra and set to tune by Shankar Jaikishan. The movie is Aah, a Raj Kapoor starrer.
Raj Kapoor is very much present in the picturisation of this song, but this song is not picturised on Raj Kapoor. Then who has the audacity to sing it on the screen ? Well, the bullock cart driver who carries Raj kapoor on his cart sings it. And it is no character artist. Look closely, it is Mukesh himself who is the bullock card driver and who sings this song on screen.

Kishore Kumar sang most of his earlier songs under the music direction of S D Burman. But he did sing under other music directors too. But as far as sad/ serious songs were concerned, most such songs of Kishore Kumar tended to be under the music direction of S D Burman and typically picturied on Dev Anand.
But Kishore Kumar’s prowess in singing sad/ serious songs was being acknowledged by other music directors too. And Kishore Kumar was getting chances to sing for himself in movies as well.

It is a movie that has long been forgotten , but this movie was lit up by this one awesome comedy song sung and performed on the screen by the one and only Kishore Kumar. It is a tremendous comedy song written by that lesser known lyricist Qamar Jalalabadi and composed so well by Kalyanji Anandji. Kishore Kumar has sung and acted with characteristic exuberance in this song.
It is my privilege to present this hidden gem that deserves to be ranked as one of the unforgettable comedy songs from Kishore Kumar. Kishore Kumar, the genius is at his best here while singing as well as acting. This song, though largely forgotten now was ranked 4th in 1971 Binaca geetmala finals. It was that popular in its days.
