Mohammed Rafi – The Incomparable – 6
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Film ‘Benazir’ 1964 has eleven songs – too many by SDB standards and the 60’s fashion. The theme of a muslim social may have something to do with it. It could also be the reason that this time SDB paired with Shakeel Badayuni. Now that I have checked, SDB worked with Shakeel Badayuni in ‘Kaise Kahoon’ (1964) also. After ‘Pyaasa’ (1957), SD Burman seems to have worked with all major lyrics writers, from Majrooh, Hasrat, Kaifi Azmi, all the way up to Anand Bakshi in the 1970s, in films like ‘Aradhana’ (1969) and ‘Ishq Par Zor Nahin’ (1970).

MISSING GEMS FROM THE GOLDEN 50s…. Song No….5
————————————————————————————
Today’s song is from the 1955 film ‘Faraar’.
We have already discussed the happenings in Hindi film industry in 1955, in the previous episode. Name of this film had not featured anywhere, simply because it was neither a famous film nor a very successful film. Its music too was nothing to write home about. Even in such a film, we find a gem or a song special for other reasons. I selected this film song for few reasons.

Glancing through the comments from the past couple of days, I got a shock to see the RIP comment posted by Avinash ji. Goodness no, but Krishna Kalle is no more. I quickly searched for more news online, but am dismayed to see almost nil coverage of this news. A couple of news sites carried brief items of just a small paragraph or two. She passed away last Sunday, 15th March, after a brief but serious illness. The last rites were performed on Monday. She was 74.

Past few days have been very slow on the blog. Concerns have been expressed in the mails being exchanged not only between the regular team members, but also enquiries are coming from other readers and friends. Some expressions include statements saying that this blog has become such an integral part of their individual routine of the day. And on days when we have no posts – dot balls, or even maiden overs, as Atul ji likes to refer to such days, folks have expressed that something seems to be lacking in the day. And personally, I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.

The Wonderful Sounds of 1930s – 1
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
The decade of 1930s will continue to remain a shaded mystery for the lovers of Hindi film music. In the decade when the Hindi film song was born and took its first fledgling steps, the creators and the keepers of this art probably did not envision the significance of this new medium and expansive influence it would go on to exercise on an entire culture, generation after generation. When the films, and more so, the talking films came into being, their predecessor was the various forms of folk theatre and formal stage drama. From time immemorial, since these art forms have existed, these have simply been live performances, with no thought or effort applied to somehow catalog and preserve them. The play was written, and its script was the primary record of its existence.

MISSING GEMS FROM THE GOLDEN 50s…. Song No….4
—————————————————-
Today’s song is from film Albeli-1955.
The year 1955 gave us some really meaningful and entertaining films. Raj Kapoor’s ‘Shri 420’ tried to bring in limelight, as usual, the hypocrisy of the elite society. It was a great film with a message, good direction and everlasting music by Shanker-Jaikishen, the three specialities of an RK film. From this film onwards, “Raju” became the favourite name of Raj Kapoor’s Heroes.( Like ‘Shanker’ was Shammi Kapoor’s lucky name in early films. Similarly ‘Vijay’ was the favourite film name of Amitabh Bachhan in 20 films, of Jeetendra in 18 films and of Mithun Chakrawarty in 16 films.).

I was not aware of this film and neither had heard its songs earlier. It was because of HFGK that I came to know about this film ‘Aisaa Bhi Hotaa Hai’.
‘Aisaa Bhi Hotaa Hai – 1971’ was a Rainbow Films-Bombay presentation and a ‘social’ film as mentioned in HFGK. Its star cast includes Dev Mukherji, Nandita Bose (making debut), Jalal Agha, Rupesh Kumar, Anwar Ali, Nikita, Tiwari, Sunder, Mohan Choti, Shyam Kumar, Randhir, Anjum, Birbal, Maruti, Tuntun, Mumtaz Begum, Shefali, Raj Rani, Mehboob and Jayshree T.

Missing Gems from the Golden 50s….song No. 3
—————————————————-
Today’s song is from a film of 1954-Pehli Jhalak.
The year 1954 was a mixed treat for the film industry. The trend of movies on Detective or crime themes began this year,starting with Aar paar and Taxi Driver. Filmistan was the most successful production house with two superhit films having popular music from composer Hemant kumar. Naagin and Jaagriti were the films. Bimal Roy made three films- Naukari,Biraj bahu and Baap Beti ( based on Guy De Maupassant’s Simon’s Papa). H S Rawail made Mastana based on Chaplin’s The Kid.

MAN KI JEET (1944) was one of the most successful films produced by W Z Ahmed under his banner of Shalimar Films. The film had 7 songs including one version song of which 4 songs (including the version song) have been covered in the Blog. Almost all the songs of the film were popular in those days. The highlight of these songs were that for the first time, Shaayar e Inqilaab Josh Malihabadi wrote lyrics for 5 out of 7 songs for the film. The rest of 2 songs were written by Bharat Vyas. The star cast included Shyam, Neena, Tiwari, Prakash, Rajkumari Shukla, Gulab, Mumtaz Begum, Shanta Thakkar, Chukoo etc. This was the debut Hindi film for the actor Shyam. This may also be a debut film for Chukoo on which morey jubna ka dekho ubhaar was picturised. Of course, Sitarabai Kanpuri started her playback singing career with this film.

The Many Colors of Love #29 – The Stories of Broken Hearts
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
And so wrote the scribe
ik dil ke tukde hazaar huye
koi yahaan gira koi wahaan gira
(‘Pyaar Ki Jeet’, 1948)
Walking the passages of love, one encounters enchanting emotions and charming music – heady feelings that will lure heart and mind into gardens with blossoming springs, chirping birds and fragrant flowers. But the discerning eyes will also see, the pathways strewn with fragile fragments, unobtrusively lying by the side, that tell another story. These are the delicate pieces of broken hearts that have suffered the pains of separation and the agony of desertion, an agony that is at times, too intense for the sensitive hearts to bear. And the feelings inside are as if the heart has been torn asunder, crushed and broken into a thousand pieces. And then thrown by the wayside.
