Deven Verma, the Actor-Comedienne-Producer-Director was 77 when he passed away last year. Unbelievable that it’s a whole year since then. How time flies but certain voids are never filled.

Hullo to all in Atuldom
Its been three weeks since the gang out happened in Bangalore. I am sure fellow atulites would be waiting for a report on the happenings of that day. But that is not the beginning. It all began with the news that there was going to be a visitor to Bangalore in the week preceding Diwali. That started the chain of mails to coax other Atulites into making a visit. I think this is the right place to mention that this is that period in the year when birds migrate from the colder regions of the world to India which is definitely warmer. One of our gang member joins the birds in this home coming. The first person to jump to say the dates were ideal for the gangout was Sudhirji and YYIIPPEEEE master. Guruji conveyed that he would be unable to make it but Ben Katie was 100% sure she would join us over the net and be our international delegate. There were only 77 mails exchanged to put the whole meet in place. My mind was playing the song “Jahaan Char Yaar Miljaaye”.

If a “Miss India “ contestant were to be asked, during the question- answer round, “What would be your next goal, if you were crowned ?”, she is unlikely to say “Mother India” :). But that is exactly what has been seen in Nargis’s celluloid journey. After her portrayal in & as ‘Miss India’ (January 1957), which cannot be described a winner at box office, she went on to portray ‘Mother India’ (October 1957) which turned out to be a land mark cinema.

SHANKAR-JAIKISHEN IN THE 50s….Song No.3
———————————————–
Shammi Kapoor shouted “YAAHOO ” in the film Junglee-63 and the equation of film music changed drastically. Shammi Kapoor became a representative of the Rebel Youth of his times and the music in his films became loud and unmusical, as it remained only an aid to heighten his presence on the screen. Market Savvy Shankar Jaikishan started composing only those songs which served this purpose, thus sacrificing melody considering it redundant in his compositions.

Shankar-Jaikishen in the 50s
The second song in the series “Shankar-Jaikishen in the 50s” is a duet of Asha and Manna Dey from the film “Baaghi Sipaahi”(1958).
By 1955, with great efforts and difficulties, Shankar Jaikishan came out of the rigouring influence and control of Raj Kapoor on their music compositions. Now they were free to fly high and be the “Numero Uno “.

Let us today listen this haunting melody, a gem of a song, long lost undeservedly. I wonder why RonoDeb Mukherji, the music Director, faded after certainly an applaudable album of ‘Tu hi meri zindagi’ (1965).

Shankar-Jaikishen in the 50s-1
We are starting a New Series from today- “Shankar-Jaikishen in the 50s”.
There was a Shankar-Jaikishan mania in the 50s and the 60s. They not only had popularity,versatility and flexibility but also unparallelled success. After Husnlal-Bhagatram, it was Shankar-Jaikishan pair who actually set the trend of composer duos in Hindi films. After Shankar-Jaikishan, no new solo composer, barring perhaps R D Burman,tasted such consistent success. Even R D Burman confessed that in the 1980s, he lost out to competition from duos everywhere.

I am back again to old films. This time it is a fun song from film Kaneez-1949.
After the partition in 1947, normalcy was returning in both Pakistani and Indian film industries by 1948-49. Most migrations-both ways- were over, though minor ones continued up to the mid 1960s. After 1965, there was no exchange of films, nor was there any movement of artistes between the two countries- barring a few exceptions in case of artistes. The new rulers of Pakistan were convinced that Indian films( being superior in every aspect ) were killing their indigenous film industry. Perhaps they forgot that majority of adult population of Pakistan had grown up on Indian films, music and the culture. And therefore smuggling of Indian films and Music became a huge business in Pakistan after the 1960s.
