I was not aware of this song from “Kavi” (1954) till today. It is only when a regular reader of this blog (Dr. Rashmikant Vyas) informed me about this song that I have listened to this song for the first time just now. What a lovely song !

“Mirza Ghalib” (1954) was a movie based on the life of Mirza Ghalib, who was one of the greatest Urdu poets of all time. This meant that the makers of this movie did not have to hire a lyricist. Mirza Ghalib’s poems themselves served as the lyrics. And what superb lyrics they are too.

Mera joota hai Japani

I have posted over 2400 songs in this blog already. I just realised that the iconic song “Mera Joota Hai Japani” is not yet posted. I will not call an oversight. In fact, it is a tribute to the quality and quantity of awesome songs that one can post so many songs and still many more great songs would still be left undiscussed.

For those who are into trivia, here is an interesting bit of information. Hemant Kumar sang just four songs under the music direction of Shankar Jaikishan. All these songs were sung in 1953 and 1954. One of these songs was in “Shikast” (1953)- “Ham kathputle kaath ke” and another was in “Patita” (1953)-“Yaad kiyaa dil ne kahaan ho tum”. These songs are already posted in this blog.

This song was a popular song during its time. When I listened to it, I thought that R D Burman was the music director. It was only much later that I realised that the music director was not R D Burman , but a newcomer called Bappi Lahiri. Yes, Bappi Lahiri was creating great impression in the minds of music lovers. He had created some nice music in “Zakhmee” (1975), his debut music and then in “Chalte Chalte” (1976).

“Adhikaar” (1954) is a forgotten movie by now, but what a remarkable movie it was. This movie had Kishore Kumar and Usha Kiran in lead roles who (if I am not wrong) play live in couple at least five decades earlier than when this concept became somewhat socially acceptable. And the same movie was remade as “Sweekaar Kiyaa Maine” in 1980s.

“Shama Parwaana” (1954) was one of the first movies of Shammi Kapoor. And in this movie, he was paired up opposite a top heroine of the day, namely Suraiyya. In Bollywood movies, leading ladies as often treated as pieces of decoration. It is heratening to see that leading lads too can get the same treatment. In Shammi Kapoor’s earlier movies, especially where he was pitted against star names like Suraiyya, Suraiyya got all the limelight and Shammi Kapoor was left playing the second fiddle. 🙂
