Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 4
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
It is a long time – a ten years wait for registering a hit. Maybe not a surprise in an industry that is known for fixing awards, and manipulating careers. His first songs appeared in 1949. Confined to B/C grade films for a large part of his career, Farooque Kaiser had to wait till 1958 before he could lay his claim to fame based on a song that would be recognized as a popular hit with the listening public.
Remembering Farooque Kaiser on the anniversary of his passing away (10th November).

He had this unique technique perfected, for which his contemporaries would envy him. There was nothing like it before him, nor now after he is gone. For the want of any better terminology, he would simply call it the “switching on, switching off” technique. On the sets, his was the fastest transition from the self to the role, when the cameras started to roll, and also the fastest pull back to the self from the role, when the director called ‘cut’. I have read this comment by, or heard it in interviews of more than one of his contemporaries, may it be the male or the female artists. They used to marvel at his ability to switch on into the character and the mood in a snap, and then withdraw himself from the character in an instant. Many others would comment that they would take many minutes to get to the right depth of mood and emotions, and after the scene is done, they need time to withdraw from the emotion and return to the normal self.

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 3
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
At the turning of the decade of 1950s, changes, as always, were in the offing. Careers of established stalwarts of the ilk of Anil Biswas and C Ramchandra were on the downward trend. And a new crop of music magicians were becoming visible on the horizon. As the calendar clock reached 1960, two duo teams started to make their presence felt. The elder partner of one of these teams, Kalyan ji Veer ji Shah had already made a debut as a solo music director back in 1958. He made his presence felt with his compositions in two films that year – ‘Post Box 999’ and ‘Samraat Chandragupt’. In 1959, he worked on three films, under his solo direction – ‘O Tera Kya Kehna’, ‘Bedard Zamaana Kya Jaane’ and ‘Ghar Ghar Ki Baat’. In the same year, he also teamed up with his younger sibling, Anand ji, and the duo team of Kalyan ji Anand ji made their first appearance in three films – ‘Satta Bazaar’, ‘Madaari’ and ‘Chandrasena’.

Greetings to Faryal on her birthday today (3rd November).
When she appeared on the film scene in 1965-66, the she was christened as the Sophia Loren of the Indian film industry. Considered to be one of the more daring cabaret dancers on screen, she actually expressed her extreme dislike for it, stating that primarily she is not a dancer, she never trained to be. But that is the industry and the type casting for you.

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 2
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
For this set of songs, I am confined to the decade of 1960s, and some from 1970. This song is from the 1972 film ‘Anokha Daan’. Simply hard to believe that it is more than four decades that this film was released. The film itself was hard to trace for many years, and was in demand, on account of its music. Now, the film and its songs are easily accessible online.

The 1937 film ‘Mukti’ from the banner of New Theatres, was considered a very bold move. A path breaking film that explores the complexities of relationship between a man and a woman. It was daring theme for its times, especially being tackled by a big name production house. The storyline is written by and the film is directed by PC Barua, who was at the height of his creative energies and his career. He was already a big name with New Theatres, having directed the 1935 hit film ‘Devdas’ for both Hindi and Bengali versions. He also played the lead role in the Bengali version.

Sahir, from Ludhiana – the poet rebel or the rebel poet. With childhood spent in dearth and need, in the narrow lanes of the poorest sections of the city, he grew up with a strong disdain for the establishment and the rich and powerful of the society. When the poet within him awakened and stretched, one of the first poems (nazm) that expressed his bottled emotions – starts the line “Kasam Un Tang Galiyon Ki Jahaan Mazdoor Rehte Hain” (swearing upon the narrow lanes which are home to the poor laborers.
Remembering Sahir Sb on the anniversary of his passing away (25th October).

Us din mujhe achhi daant padi – got an earful to listen from the family.
But then, before I get to describe my travails of that day, and the reasons behind that, I must take a pause and announce the celebration for today. Yes, yes, we are at the 10,four00th milestone. Goodness, and here I was thinking that we are going slow, as our “fearless” leader is under the control and command of his superiors, and the pace these days is not his usual self, but when I checked the numbers earlier in the evening, of course nudged by Atul ji himself in an email message that actually got delivered 30 hours late – goodness, can you imagine something like that happen in the bookfaced world of today; ah but that is a different gripe that I will not dwell upon right now, and just say that soon as I realized that we are so smacking close to the century marker, that it all became a scramble, not that I was not ready with something, meaning this post, just that I was thinking, abhi do chaar din baad mein, to repair and finalize for posting, but Atul ji’s message changed all the priorities – and by the way don’t you also feel that this sentence now needs a full stop. Whew.
