Dard bhari kisi ki yaad

Here in this blog we discuss songs from Hindi movies on a daily basis. Since we discuss songs so it is natural that we discuss the people also who are involved in the making of these songs. They could be the singers, lyricists or the music directors, or they could be actors figuring in the picturisation of these songs. Rougly speaking, this blog by now had 6280 plus songs from 2000 plus movies. Over three hundred singers, over three hundred lyricists, and over two hundred music directors have been discussed in the blog so far. I have not counted the number of actors figuring in these songs, but that number is likely to be more than three hundreds as well.

In my school days, our Hindi teachers quite often used to mention about the troika of Hindi poets, Prasad-Pant-Nirala ( Jaishankar Prasad, Sumitranadan Pant and Suryakant Tripathi ‘Nirala’). They were the pioneers of ‘chhaayawadi’ (romanticism) movement in Hindi poetry. At a time when norms for writing Hindi poetry were different, these poets created a niche for themselves and set a new standard for Hindi poetry. About four decades later, a similar troika of poets was continuing the tradition of writing poetry in similar style but for Hindi films. The poetry was written in simple words for the benefit of masses. In doing so, they extended their coverage beyond ‘chhaayawad’ to include social issues, philosophy of life etc. These poets also created a niche for themselves at a time when the Hindi film songs were mostly written in Hindustani ( mix of Hindi and Urdu words). Pandit Bharat Vyas was one among the troika of poets who wrote lyrics for Hindi film songs, the other two being Pandit Narendra Sharma and Kavi Pradeep.

Today (3 july) is the death anniversary of Raj Kumar. Raj Kumar made his debut as an actor in 1950s and his most productive decade as an actor was the decade of 1960s. There are actors who are remembered for songs picturised on him, but Raj Kumar is often remembered for some of the immortal dialogues picturised on her. For instance, the dialogue of “Waqt” (1975)- “ye bacchon ke khelne ki cheez nahin hai Chunar seth…”, and the “Paakeeja” (1971) dialogue’ “Aape paaon dekhe…”.

Ek gaana hai, kareeb chaalis saal puraana – “Chain Se Humko Kabhi, Aap Ne Jeene Ne Diyaa” . From the film ‘Pran Jaaye Par Vachan Na Jaaye’. And the year is 1973. Yes getting to be about 40 years ago. But listening to this song, even today – the sound, the feelings, and the words – all appear to be so young and so fresh. And the lyricist – composer pair is SH Behari and OP Nayyar. A partnership that started in the mid 50s, and flowered exceptionally in the decade of 60s to give so many memorable songs one after another.

Today (27 june) is the birth anniversary of R D Burman, who was easily the most influential music director during the time I was growing up in late 1960s and for entire 1970s. His dominance was so total that most other music directors had to change their music to sound like R D Burman. I too k it almost for granted that any song that I liked those days had to be a composition of R D Burman.

These days I am discussing the songs of “Shart” (1954) and by now I have discussed as many as eight songs from this movie. Despite discussing so many songs from this movie, we are noswhere near exhausing all the songs from this movie. We are only around the halfway mark as far as the songs of this movie are concerned.
