Genius of Jaidev – 24
———————————-
The 1957 film ‘Anjali‘, produced by Kala Kunj, Bombay (to the surprise of younger generation, our state was called ‘Bombay’ then) and directed by Chetan Anand had music by our Jaidev with lyrics by Nyay Sharma. This theme song was often repeated in the film. The film starts with melodious ‘alaaps’ by Lata, following the hymns ‘Buddham Sharanam Gachchhaami ….’. Later on there is a chorus lead by Rafi. I am sure this must have been repeated several times. In the end the video of the last stanza surprisingly emerges on YouTube. (This raises our hope that there must be video of the film available in video cassette form, which may surface anytime, in future, to our delight.)
Since the title portion would not qualify individually, to be posted on our Blog, having no singing words, I combined it in the beginning of the main Rafi and chorus song. Again the short video of the last stanza emerged, so that too, was combined for this presentation. (achchha kiya na?)
Since Sheila Ramani and Chetan Aanand are seen in the concluding scene, there must have been two heroines in this film – Sheila and Nimmi – for lucky Chetan Aanand.
Jaidev, composed nine melodious tunes, out of ten, for this film. But as far as this classic Buddha prayer is concerned, he totally copied lying down with closed eyes, the Sinhalese original version.
