Today’s song is a parody song from the film Ham kahan jaa rahen hain-1966.
This long titled film was made by Filmistan, which was once upon a time famous for for giving excellent, entertaining, musical and meaningful films like Eight days, Shikari,Do Bhai, Nadiya ke paar, Anand math, Anarkali, jagriti, Nagin, Shaheed, Shabistan, Sargam, Munim ji, Tumsa nahi dekha, paying Guest, nastik Aab E Hayat, Hum sab chor hain etc.
When Sashadhar Mukherjee left Filmistan to start his own studio, Filmalaya to launch his son Joy Mukherjee, the company was bought from the owners (S.mukherjee and Ashok Kumar0, by a Non Filmi shrewd businessman-Tolaram Jalan. After that films which came out from Filmistan were not in keeping with its past reputation, glory and tradition. The standard went down in subsequent years. The last film to come out from old Filmistan was Dooj ka Chaand-1964, directed by Nitin Bose and then the studio wound up. Now it is only a shooting studio under the management of one Jasraj Purohit and outside producers take it on rent to shoot their films.
Today’s film HKJRH (short form of the long title)-1966 was directed by Nitin Bose and the music was by basant prakash – the younger brother of the yesteryear music Director Khemchand prakash (12-12-1907 to 10-8-1950), who gave us memorable films like Mahal, tamasha, Muqaddar, Rinjhim, Saawan aaya re, Ziddi, Gaon, Mulaqat, Sindoor, Prabhu ka ghar, Bhanwara, tansen, Chandni, fariyaad, Shaadi, Ummeed etc.
Basant Prakash was born on27-1-1928 and died on 19-3-1996. I remember having seen a discussion on this Blog about his date of death. Most people thought that he died in the 50’s, whereas it was his elder brother Khemchand Prakash who had died then, before his most famous film Mahal was released. It was released just 10 days after his death. His name will always be remembered with the evergreen songs of his last film Mahal-1950.
Basant Prakash gave music to only 11 films. His first film was Jai Shankar-1951 and the last was Jyot Jale-1973. He had composed only 1 song for the film Anarkali-1953, when he left the film due to differences with the Filmistan people (later first Hemant Kumar and then finally C.Ramchandra took over and completed the film’s music.). Basant Prakash had 2 wives and 8 children. After leaving the films, he returned to his hometown in Rajasthan.
The songs of this film were written by Qamar jalalabadi. On the first glance it looks like a Muslim name and naturally so, because in that period, many lyricists were Muslims. However there were also Hindus having a command over Urdu, in addition, there were poets who wrote songs in pure Hindi too.
Om Prakash Bhandari (9 March 1917 – 9 January 2003), better known as Qamar Jalalabadi, was a poet and lyricist . He composed the title track of the popular television serial Vikram Aur Betaal.
He was born as Om Prakash Bhandari in a Punjabi family on 9 March 1917 in Jalalabad, a village near Beas in Amritsar district, Punjab, India. Right from the age of seven, he started writing poetry in Urdu. There was no encouragement from home, but a wandering poet named Amar Chand Amar met him in his hometown and encouraged him to write, recognising his immense talent and potential. He also gave him the pen name of Qamar which means moon, and Jalalabadi was added for his native town. It was the general trend in those days for writers to name themselves after the towns they hailed from. After completing his matriculation from Amritsar, he embarked on his journalistic career journey by writing for Lahore-based newspapers like Daily Milap, Daily Pratap, Nirala, Star Sahakar etc.
Attracted by the promise of a career in the film industry, Qamar Jalalabadi came to Pune in the early 1940s. In 1942, he wrote lyrics for his first film Zamindar which was a Pancholi Pictures production and the songs of this film were very well received, especially the song sung by Shamshad Begum “Duniya Mein Garibon Ko Aaram Nahi Milta”, which also had a line or two written by writer and poet Behzad Lucknawi.
Subsequently, Jalalabadi relocated to Bombay, and worked there as a lyricist for nearly four decades. His songs were sung by many notable singers including S. D. Batish, Noor Jehan, G. M. Durrani, Zeenat Begum, Manju, Amirbai Karnataki, Mohammad Rafi, Talat Mahmood, Geeta Dutt, Suraiya, Mukesh, Manna Dey, Asha Bhosle, Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. He worked with many popular composers including S. D. Burman and Sardar Malik.
As a lyricist, Qamar Jalalabadi was very versatile. On one hand he wrote mesmeric duets like “Sun Meri Sawari Mujhko Kahin Tum Bhool Na Jaana…” sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi (film: Aansoo 1953) and on the other hand he penned comic relief songs like “Khush Hai Zamana Aaj Pehli Tarikh Hai” endured with full throttle gusto by Kishore Kumar (film: Pehli Tarikh-1954). This song became very popular and was played on Radio Ceylon on the first of every month for decades, and it probably continues so.
The film Howrah Bridge (1958) skyrocketed his career as lyricist to unprecedented heights. Songs like “Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu” (Geeta Dutt) and “Aaiye Meherbaan, Baithiye Jaanejaan….” (Asha Bhosle) became highly popular.
In his long career span he worked for several film companies like Prabhat Film Company, Pancholi Pictures, Filmistan Ltd., Famous Pictures, Minerva Movietone, Prakash Pictures, Wadia Films Ltd., Filmkar Ltd., Sippy Films, N.C. Sippy Films, Shri Shakti Films, Mitra Productions and many more.
He was one of the founder members of prestigious organisations like Film Writers Association & IPRS in Mumbai. The music composers he worked with were: Ghulam Haider, G. Damle, Pandit Amarnath, Khemchand Prakash, Husnlal Bhagatram, S.D. Burman, Anil Biswas, Shyam Sunder, Sajjad Hussain, C. Ramchandra, Madan Mohan, Sudhir Phadke, S.D. Batish, Sardar Malik, Ravi, Avinash Vyas and in the latter phase of his career with O. P. Nayyar, Kalyanji-Anandji, Sonik–Omi, Uttam Singh and Laxmikant–Pyarelal as well. Qamar Jalalabadi wrote song lyrics for 155 films and wrote a total of 709 songs in his long career. He was a poet (shayar) and participated in several mushairas all over India.
In his personal life, Jalalabadi was a highly religious person and he chanted excerpts from the Bhagavad Gita, the Koran as well as the Bible. He was deeply into transcendental meditation, and was mostly embedded in his writing for most part of the day. He once gifted a bungalow in Khar, Mumbai to one of his married sisters to save her from a difficult marriage, and shifted to simpler accommodation in Juhu with his own family. He and his wife Leelawati had seven children.
He had several friends and hundreds of fans whom he called his “pankhe”. His fan mail came in various languages; Hindi, English, Urdu and many regional languages as well. He replied to all his fan mail and judiciously sent an autographed photo as well. ( I have used information from an old book Filmi geetkar, wiki, muVys, HFGK and my notes for this article).
Film Ham Kahaan Jaa Rahe Hain-66 had a cast of debuting lead pair of Neena and Prakash, Abhi Bhattacharya, Badri Prasad, Leela Mishra, Jagirdar, Vithal Panchotia, Nadira, Rajan Haksar (ex husband of Manorama and father of actress Rita Haksar), Narbada Shankar, Jankidas and many others. Readers will notice that barring the lead pair, almost all the major actors were from the early era or the earlier generation. For example, Badri Prasad started his career in 1932, Abhi Bhattacharya in 1947, Leela Mishra in 1935, Panchotia in 1932, Gajanan Jagirdar in 1932 etc. Rajan Haksar and Nadira were also old actors. All these actors were in the evening of their careers. possibly they were taken because of Nitin Bose, who was always sympathetic about old artistes.
The story of this film was prepared by the “Story department of Filmistan”. Their intention was very good and they wanted to stress the importance of Indian tradition and values as following and copying the western styles at the cost of our own culture was not good. But then only good intentions or a good story is not enough to make a good film. if the film is not entertaining, all the scenes seem to be a crude way to stress your point. The handling of the story was faulty and the film flopped badly.
The story, in short, was……
Badri Prasad and Leela Mishra, visit their son in a city after a long time. What they see is, due to the neglect of the daughter in law-nadira- and the son-Rajan haksar- the children felt alienated from them and were going bastray. The old couple try and somehow manage to give the right direction to the family but they are insulted by the bahu, with the son helplessly watching. Badri Prasad and Leela Mishra leave the house. The children also go with them. After some time their daughter-heroine- falls sick and dies. The son and bahu realise their mistake too late.
Indian audiences generally like a happy ending. Gone are the days of the 30’s and the 40’s when Saigal and Dilip Kumar died in the films and still the films were hits There used to be immortal music and a strong story content. Without these 2 important elements, no wonder Ham Kahaan Jaa Rahe Hain-66 was a flop.
Today’s song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor, Krishna Kalle and chorus. It is a two part song in one video. The parodied songs can be easily identified by our readers. Enjoy the video….
