Today’s song is from the film ‘Teen Bhai’ (1955).
In every person’s life there are happy and memorable events which he enjoys remembering till his last day. Like others, I too have few such memorable events in my life. Few events are – like the day when I saw my name in newspapers when I came into the XII std. Merit List, the day I married the girl of my choice and the day I rose from the post of a Medical Representative to take over as a Director on the Board of a couple of Pharma Companies, etc.
June the 2nd, 2023 was the latest happy and memorable day, which brought me such joy, which even 10 Dictionaries also can not express in words ! This was the day I had been waiting for since 11 years. On this day I met ATUL BESRA ji for the first time. If you ask me why this was a special event, I have many reasons. I have seen very few people who believe in actions rather than words. I have yet to see a person who has the capacity to manage a devoted band of music lovers, remotely, in such a way that they become not only dedicated but loyal to his Blog. His skill of handling difficult situations is unparalleled. These and many such qualities make him a Long Distance Effective Leader and a very dear person ! Above all, he is the one who encouraged me to start writing posts on his Blog. Today, in the field of Old Hindi Films and Music, whatever position I have , Atul ji has a major role in it. Thank you Atul ji for meeting me !
The occasion of meeting Atul ji was an ATULITES’ MEET in Mumbai. When Sudhir ji initially sent me a mail about the proposed get-together in Mumbai, I was disappointed. The reason was I was to be out of Mumbai during that period. On learning about my problem, Sudhir ji – like a thorough gentleman that he is – changed the date to suit my availability. So it was 2-6-2023 finally. The problem was I returned to Mumbai on the 31st night and I had only one day to make all the arrangements in my house for the meeting and the lunch for about 12 people ! However I had done some spade work on mobile , consulting Sadanand ji and Nalini ji to fix the menu and other matters. In addition, Avinash ji had informed me of his plan to stay with me for 2 days. Adding to this, my both daughters were not available this time to help me, like the earlier big meet a few years ago. (In Sudhir ji’s words, the services of ‘Anju-Manju Event Management Company’ were not available this time !) And so, I had to do everything single handed, this time.
With planning mentally and working physically throughout the day, by evening the arrangements were done for the meeting and the lunch preparations were under control. One of the special items of the lunch was the ‘Malaiwala Dahi‘, which I had set well in time. Changing bedsheets, pillow covers and sofa covers in bedroom and the meeting room as well as selecting and arranging tableware for food was physically very exhausting for a single man of my age. Luckily everything was available at home and was set in place before the clock struck 12 midnight !
Sudhir ji had asked everybody to reach the venue by 11 am. The first to arrive was Sadanand ji, then came Shenoy ji, followed by Nitin ji. Nalini ji came as a surprise (Avinash ji had already leaked this news to me unintentionally). Sudhir ji and Bakshish ji with Subhash Bhat ji were the last to join. Atul ji came as per his time and the group was elated with his arrival. Vaidehi and her husband Ishan came much later.
The mood of the meeting was a joyous one. All friends were happy to be in each other’s company. The atmosphere was so friendly. Like a POTLUCK Party, Nalini ji had brought AAMRAS, Sadanand ji had brought MALAI SANDWICH and Nitin ji had come with KHAMAN DHOKLA – the last two were as planned, but Nalini ji’s item was a surprise The rest of the main food was taken care of by me. We were waiting for Vaidehi and Ishan, but they got stuck in a meeting. Due to a shortage of time at disposal, we decided to start the lunch. I chose to wait for the expected guests. Being the host of the event and as they were coming for the first time to my place, it was my duty.
They arrived at about 3 pm and the last batch had lunch. Then we had photos. Vaidehi works as a Costume Designer in Bollywood and her husband Ishan is a skilled photo expert. By the time we finished lunch, photos and chatting, the first to leave for the airport was Shenoy ji. Soon Vaidehi and Ishan also left.
Then tea was served and Atul ji left for Airport. The rest of us chatted for some more time and then everyone left one by one.
I have attended many meets at Mumbai and Bangalore, but this meeting was truly an enjoyable one. A memorable event indeed. I thank Atul ji and Sudhir ji especially and all others for making this meeting a pleasurable one. Thanks.
I must mention the help by Avinash ji on that night and the next day in the restoration of my house by moving things and generally helping me to rearrange the rooms by clearing materials. The help was also valuable from Sadanand ji and Nalini ji in managing the meeting satisfactorily.
Now coming to today’s film song. Film ‘Teen Bhai’ was directed by a veteran of New Theatres, Calcutta – Hemchandra Chunder. He directed 13 Hindi films, some of them classics of Saigal. He had established a production company along with actress Meera Mishra – HM Films. The MD was Arunkumar Mukherjee and the lyricist was Bharat Vyas. The cast included Nirupa Roy, Shyama, Bharat Bhushan, Pahadi Sanyal, Gulab, Leela Mishra, Menaka, Colin Pal, Nimbalkar, Kammo etc. Colin Pal was the son of writer Niranjan Pal and the grandson of the famous Patriot Bipin Chandra Pal who was one of the famous Lal-Bal-Pal trio, before Partition. Colin Pal played the role of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in the film ‘Samadhi’ (1950).
Today’s song was sung by Manna Dey and Lakshmi Shankar. Lakshmi Shankar is not a very well known name, but her life story is very inspiring.
Laxmi Shankar went to the USA, after retiring from Hindi film playback singing. She won several awards, got nominated for Grammy awards, held several shows and taught Indian Classical music to American students. She was held in high esteem in the USA. She died on 30-12-2013 in the USA.
After her death, ‘India West’ published her obituary, which clearly indicated her achievements and respect she earned in USA –
One of the most influential Indian musicians in America, vocalist Lakshmi Shankar, passed away Dec. 30 evening in Southern California, surrounded by her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and close friends. She was 87.
Laxmi Shankar was extraordinarily versatile, excelling in Indian classical dance before health issues halted her dancing career and she committed herself to vocal music. Shankar was proficient in a wide range of Indian vocal music styles including Carnatic, khayal, thumri, dadra, kajri, Rabindra sangeet and bhajans. She sang in 14 languages.
“Bhajans were her specialty,” her son, Kumar Shankar, told India-West by phone. “As far as I’m concerned, nobody could sing a bhajan like her.”
Lakshmi Shankar was born June 16, 1926, in the eastern Indian city of Jamshedpur, and first trained as a child in Bharatnatyam. Later on, she was accepted into the prestigious music institute founded by Uday Shankar in Almora, in what is now Uttarakhand.
While working under Uday Shankar, she mastered the Manipuri, Kathakali and ballet styles, and it was there that she met her future husband, Rajendra Shankar, Uday’s brother. The two were married in 1941, and went on to settle in Mumbai, where Lakshmi’s career grew as an actress and dancer, also branching out into playback singing for regional films. In her career she sang 27 songs in 18 Hindi films, starting from ‘Neecha Nagar’ (1946) to ‘Aarop’ (1974).
In the early 1950s, she was struck with pleurisy, a condition that leads to painful inflammation of the membrane surrounding the lungs. “She could not dance,” explained Kumar. “She had breathing problems, and weight gain.”
But instead of giving up the arts, Lakshmi Shankar decided to put her talent on course in a different direction. In an interview with Traditions Engaged, she explained, “I know the meaning of what I am singing, which is a very big thing in music. When I sing I see the expression and the movement of the words and feel them as a dancer would.”
Lakshmi Shankar had a musical epiphany when she discovered ghazals and other north Indian music forms, and soon started studying with Ustad Abdul Rehman Khan of the Patiala gharana. Her new affection for Hindustani music led her to collaborate with sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar (brother to Uday and Rajendra), for whom she assisted in many projects for ballets, films and festivals. It was a family affair, with her son Kumar handling sound checks for their performances.
Through her work with Ravi Shankar, Lakshmi’s talent was able to reach a global audience. She made numerous recordings with Western artists, including on the soundtrack to Richard Attenborough’s film ‘Gandhi’ (1982). Before that, in 1974 she toured extensively in USA and Europe with George Harrison and Ravi Shankar as the lead singer for George Harrison’s groundbreaking ‘Music Festival from India’.
Among the many honors she received, her 2008 Grammy nomination for ‘Dancing in the Light’ was a milestone. She also received a Durfee Foundation grant to teach Indian music to American students; a Kalpana Chawla Award for ‘Woman of the Year’, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Bengali Association of New York, and an award for ‘Uplifting the World with Music’ from Sri Chinmoy.
Kumar Shankar explained that a private memorial will be held Jan. 6 in the San Fernando Valley, and a more public memorial will take place at this year’s Ravi Shankar Foundation music festival. A statement from the Shankar family reads: “She had a heavenly voice which would melt any heart. She was a kind and beautiful soul. We will miss her. “
Lakshmi’s children, Kumar and Vijayshri (who passed away in 1995), were blessed to grow up in a household where nonstop music filled every day, explained Kumar. “She would practice for hours and hours each day … we were surrounded by music all the time.”
Knowing that her loss will also be felt by countless music lovers around the world is small comfort for Kumar. “I have mixed feelings,” he told India-West. “I knew it would happen. But it’s overwhelming.”
Hats off to this worthy soul who did monumental work in spreading Indian culture in advanced countries.
The story of the film ‘Teen Bhai’ is. . .
Teen Bhai was a DP Production movie, directed by Hemchander Chunder.
I have seen this movie. It had a ‘beaten track’ story of a wayward young man. Mahesh, Suresh and Naresh are staying together. Suresh (Bharat Bhushan), though married, falls in love with a dancer Champa (Shyama). He spends lot of money on her and even tries to fix younger brother Naresh’s marriage with a barrister’s daughter (to get a bakhshish in form of dowry). Naresh is already in love with their tennant’s daughter Krishna. There is a fight among all brothers, they separate and finally unite after a happy ending culminating in a group photo.
[Editor Note: Regarding the lines in the lyrics of the song –
jis din pratap ke aage shakti ne
apni khadag uthhaai
‘shakti’ refers to Shakti Singh, brother of Maharana Pratap, who turned against him, and sided with the Mughals.]

bhai bhai ke jhagdon ki hai jismein likhi kahaani
jab bhari sabha ke beech kheench kar cheer

aur bheekh maangti rahi Draupadi

tab liye haath mein chakr sudarsan
pragate the Yadurayi

chittod durg tilmila uthha
mewad bhoomi tharraayi
aapas ki phoot ne
bade bade veeron ki jaden hilaayi
chal padi yahaan se
chal padi yahaan se
rajpooti lekar ke ant vidaai
bhai bhai ke jhagdon ne sone ki lanka dhhaayee
is raam bharat ke ae ae ae

ho bichhde na bhai bhai
is raam bharat ke ae desh mein
jhagde na bhai bhai
ho bichhde na bhai bhai
ho jhagde na bhai bhai

भारत माता के॰॰ए॰॰ए
लाडलों में॰॰ए
होवे ना लड़ाई
होवे ना लड़ाई
इस राम भरत के देश में
झगड़े ना भाई भाई
हो बिछड़े ना भाई भाई
ए ए ए ए ए ए
हो ओ
तुम याद करो महाभारत की
वो बीती बात पुरानी
तुम याद करो
भाई भाई के झगड़ों की
है जिस में लिखी कहानी
जब भरी सभा के बीच
खींच कर चीर करी मनमानी
और भीख मांगती रही द्रौपदी
लिए नैन में पानी
तब लिए हाथ में चक्र सुदर्शन
प्रगटे थे यदुराई
इस राम भरत के॰॰ए॰॰ए
इस राम भरत के देश में
झगड़े ना भाई भाई
हो बिछड़े ना भाई भाई
इस राम भरत के देश में॰॰ए
झगड़े ना भाई भाई
ए ए ए ए हे ए हे ए
हो ओ ओ
जिस दिन प्रताप के आगे
शक्ति ने अपनी खड्ग उठाई
चित्तौड़ दुर्ग तिलमिला उठा
मेवाड़ भूमि थर्राई
आपस की फूट ने
बड़े बड़े वीरों की जड़ें हिलाईं
चल पड़ी यहाँ से
चल पड़ी यहाँ से
रजपूती लेकर के अन्त विदाई
भाई भाई के झगड़ों ने सोने की लंका ढाई
इस राम भरत के॰॰ए॰॰ए
इस राम भरत के देश में
झगड़े ना भाई भाई
हो बिछड़े ना भाई भाई
इस राम भरत के देश में
झगड़े ना भाई भाई
हो बिछड़े ना भाई भाई
हो झगड़े ना भाई भाई
Roothh ke hamse kahin

This article is written by Sadanand Kamath, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
I start this article with a confession that Hindi film songs of post-1980 period, by and large, are not on my search radar unless I come across some of them by chance. It was one of such chances that took me to a song ‘rooth ke hamse kahin jab chale jaaoge tum’ from the film JO JEETA WOHI SIKANDAR (1992). I was attracted by its first line of lyrics. The song was written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and that made me to watch the video clip. And what a sentimental song relating to brother-brother relationship! As I watched the video clip, some reminiscences of my childhood days flashed before my moist eyes like a slide show.
