The Wonderful Sounds of 1930s – 6
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Listening to songs like this one, there are mixed feelings in the heart. There is a pleasant joyous feeling that such wonderful sounds from almost eight decades ago, are available and we can hear and enjoy them. There is also a regretful irritation, almost bordering on frustration as to why more such songs are not available. Why is it that all one can search and explore, and just one song is available from this film, and from many others. And for many more, even one song is not traceable.

Amitabh – The Later Decades – 4
—————————————————–
Almost ‘Lolita’, but not quite so. In the book, the young nympho is only 12 years old, and the old man is actually a pedophile. In this Hindi film take off, the young girl is 18, and the old man is not a pervert, but is actually in love. And for all that matters, for all the time it matters, it is a two way love between the girl and the old man.
Around the time this film was relased, a joke was doing the rounds. Q: What is the height of good luck? A: Amitabh in ‘Nishabd’.

Bombay Gangout – Part 5
The Day After.
The next day to the gangout meeting, we had plans for a visit to our dear Arun ji. As the readers may be aware, Arun ji had not attended the gangout meeting. The personal family circumstances in the recent past, had been exigent to the extreme. His life partner had passed away just 10 days prior to the scheduled meeting. We had decided to go ahead with the meeting, sans his participation.

Remembering Shamshad Begum on the second anniversary of her passing away (23rd April 2013). Born in Lahore on 14th April 1919, Shamshad Begum had an inclination towards singing right from her school days. Her school principal impressed with her singing, made her sing the classroom prayers, something which Naushad captilised elegantly in ‘Dard’ (1947) for a group song.

The film ‘Jwala’ was started sometimes in the second half of 1950s. It was finally released in 1970, a year after the passing away of Madhubala. As with some of her last films, this film also has deficient and compromised editing, and possible use of a double in some scenes, just to try and complete the storyline. But forever, this will be known as her last released film.

The twinkling eyes and the arresting smile get to your heart when she sings “Kabhi Aar Kabhi Paar Laaga Teer e Nazar”. An accomplished dancer, who has the capability to take a song, many levels higher.

‘. . . given a chance, I’d choose to be an actress all over again.’ Closing words in an interview that she gave ten years before she passed away in 2000.

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 18
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Bring up and test this, works every time. Looking for a good melodious song that will strum the strings of the heart – just pick an obscure film from 1950s or 60s. If the lyricist and music director and the singer(s) are from the proverbial ‘lesser known’ category, all the better. Just run through the song list of such a film. I promise you will find a memory tickler hidden in there, which will make you exclaim – “achhaa, ye gaana is film ka hai” (“Aha, so this song comes from this film”). I have tried this many times; always been a success.
Take this film, and this song. I have wonderful humming memories of this song from the radio listening days. For all this time, I was unaware of the details. Searching for songs by Chitragupt, I ran into this a few days ago, and had that ‘Aa Haa’ reaction. Wow, so this is it.

Not many debuts can be better than starting with the song “Afsaana Likh Rahi Hoon. . .” (‘Dard’, 1947). His innings lasted for 23 years. A long time in which he could not even complete a century of films. He has written about 750 songs in 89 films across his career. Typecasting, or more correctly to state, pairing groupism was responsible for this state of affairs. All along his career, his partnership with music directors remained primarily confined to just three – Naushad Sb, Ghulam Mohammed Sb and Ravi. His films with other music directors are really few and far between.
