Blog Day :

Today 5^th June 2018 is World Environment Day. This year’s theme is ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’!! And this year our own country India is the host for celebration of this day world-wide.

Last year I presented a post here on the blog celebrating this day, with a relevant couplet paying tribute to mother nature and mentioning some songs from Hindi movies which have used nature as a symbol/metaphor and direct reference. For this year’s theme, I don’t think any song relevant to this or either relevant to pollution, is available in our Hindi Movies. There is one song which I can relate to my favourite subject – scrap and its disposal – can be cited. It is penned by none other than Sahir Saab, the song being “Khaali Dabba Khaali Botal Le Le Mere Yaar“.

Few years back I had penned a poem – a ‘self-narrative’ by a ‘polybag (Panni) ’ and if our editors allow it can be reproduced here. The poem is in Hindi and for today’s presentation I have got its translation into English done by my daughter Ashwini.

मैं एक पन्नी हूँ और भटक रही हूँ यहाँ से वहाँ,
वैसे ही जैसे मेरे ‘प्लास्टिक’ परिवार के बाकी सदस्य,
फ़ैल रहे है डगर-डगर और भटक रहे हैं नगर-नगर,
सह रहीं हूँ मैं लोगों कि बेदर्दी जो मुझे देखके मुंह फेर लेते हैं,
कोई आए, उठाये मुझे, और ले जाए मुझे मेरे सही मक़ाम तक,
मुझे भी कोई गले से लगाये और प्यार से पूछे के ‘तेरा हाल क्या है’
मेरे और भी भाई-बहन हैं जो मेरी तरह ही दर दर कि ठोकरें खा रहें हैं,
कल ‘पीवीसी’(PVC) सुना रहा था अपनी दर्द भरी दास्तान,
क्यूं नहीं बचाते लोग मुझसे अपनी जान,
क्या अपने बच्चों की और भविष्य कि भी चिंता नहीं हैं इंसान को,
जो हमें सहेज कर, कर दे अलग, और रखे साफ़ अपने घर-परिसर,
कितनी निर्दयता से लोग हमें मिला देते हैं एक दूसरे के साथ,
कभी मैं काँटों में फस जाऊं , कभी किसी पेड़ कि टहनी से लिपट जाऊं,
कभी नालों में बह जाऊं और अटक जाऊं किसी ‘डिब्बे’ या ‘पीपे’ के मुहाने पे,
कभी पानी पे तैरती रहूँ यूँही और बन जाऊं कारण गन्दगी का,
या फिर सडती रहूँ नदी-ताल-तलैया की सतह पर और प्रदूषित कर दूं सब जल,
आज कल तो आप जहां भी देखोगे मुझे हर जगह पर पाओगे ,
खेत-खालिहनोंमें-अपने आसपास के परिसर में, अत्र-तत्र-सर्वत्र- मैं ही मैं हूँ,
यूँही उड़ते-फिरते, गिरते-पड़ते कट रहा हैं सफर – मंजिल कि नहीं खबर,
मुझे अपना लो, मुझे चाहो – मुझे समझो, मुझसे प्यार करो,
पहुंचा कर मुझे मेरे ‘मोक्ष’ तक, बचालो अपनी ‘वसुंधरा’ को,
कर रक्षण ‘पर्यावरण’ का, निभाओ ‘फ़र्ज़’ अपने ‘इंसान’ होने का !

(Translation in English provided by Ashwini Scrapwala)

I am a ‘polybag’ wandering places,
Wandering just like the other members of my species are,
Spreading throughout and travelling into the unknown,
Getting ignored with no hopes of getting cared and cured
Yet I keep wishing, for someone to pick me up in their loving arms,
I wish someone would take me to my rightful ‘disposal’, the place where I belong.
I wonder where my siblings are,
Maybe they’re wretched just like me,
Maybe they too have a gruesome story to tell
Like PVC had to tell this other day;
“Oh! the ignorant Humans!
Why aren’t you saving yourselves from me?
Don’t you care about your future?
The future of you and your progeny…”
I wish you would have kept us away from your surroundings
Instead of letting I and my specie get all messed up with each other.
I myself have been through a lot,
Be it getting trapped in cluster of spikes
Or being wrapped up around the branch of a tree!
I’ve floated in the drains, muffled over cans and ducts
Just to become the culprit of everything filthy!
I am that tramp, who keeps wandering constantly,
Rotting through rivers and pools,
Ending up spreading pollution everywhere,
You ask me where I’ll be found,
I am Omnipresent I say!
Flying, crashing through nowhere
Hoping for some day ‘someone’ will come,
And take me to my ‘appropriate disposal’
Please embrace me, love me, care me
Help me to reach – ‘my final destination’
Take me where I belong and save your Habitat,
Save your mother, Oh human,
Save your nature, Save ‘mother earth’

I wish our movie makers make more films on subjects like sustainable living, pollution and other environmental issues. In 2014, I had attempted to write a meaningful poem using Hindi movie titles on the occasion of World Environment Day in 2014. I am sharing herewith the link for this post.

Dharti Kahe Pukaar Ke… Jiyo Aur Jeene Do

For today’s occasion, again I have very small poem/song from a very recent movie “Kalpvriksh” (कल्पवृक्ष) aka “The Wishing Tree” from 2017. This song is penned by Gulzar Saab. I came across this movie during my air journey from Mumbai to Ethiopia while travelling to Kenya. I always find such movies very close to my heart and I like them very much. “Kalpvriksh” is presented by Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change for Rhombus Films Production. It is produced by Raajaysh Chetwal and Directed by Manika Sharma, who also wrote the screenplay and dialogues for this movie.

The star cast includes Shabana Azmi, Prithvi Zutshi, Saurabh Shukla, Rajat Kapoor, and many other child artists and other artists. The credits in the beginning of the movie does not mention the names. Lyrics (for other songs) are written by Anil Pandey and Kausar Munir. Music is composed by Sandesh Shandilya. Amitabh Bachchan has lent his voice in the beginning of the movie and Gulzar Saab’s name is mentioned with Special Thanks in the titles. Editing of this movie was done by Kaushik Das.

A brief about this movie copies from the YT link of the trailer of the movie is given below;

‘THE WISHING TREE’ is a magical, inspirational and an extremely entertaining story of five children in a hill-station who come together to save their ‘wishing tree’ from being cut by vested interests. The film is extremely lively, entertaining, endearing and engrossing so that the underlying message to protect trees and environment is seamlessly driven home.

Let us now listen and enjoy the beautiful, poignant and thoughtful verses by none other than Gulzaar Saab!!!
Other songs of this movie are also very good and I like them very much 😊.

[Auth Note : An interesting aside – since its inception in 1974 the ‘World Environment Day’ never had ‘Save Trees’ as its theme except in 1986 when the theme was ‘A Tree for Peace’ 😊.]

Song – Darakht Jab Sochte Hain (Kalpvriksh) (2017) Singer – Gulzar, Lyrics – Gulzar, MD – Sandesh Shandilya

Lyrics

darakht sochte hain jab
to phool aate hain
wo dhoop mein dubo ke ungliyaan
khayaal likhte hai
lachakti shaakhon par
to rang rang labz chunte hain
khushboo’on se bolte hain
aur bulaate hain

hamaara shauq dekhiye
ke gardanein hi kaat lete hain
jahaan kahin mehakta hai koyi

Hindi script lyrics (Provided by Avinash Scrapwala)
———————————————————

दरख़्त सोचते हैं जब
तो फूल आते हैं
वो धुप में डूबो के उंगलियाँ
ख़याल लिखते हैं
लचकती शाखों पर
तो रंग रंग लब्ज़ चुनते हैं
खुशबूओं से बोलते हैं
और बुलाते हैं

हमारा शौक़ देखिये
के गर्दनें ही काट लेते हैं
जहां कहीं महकता हैं कोई

Hai Kahin Par Shaadmaani Aur Kahin Nashaadiyaan

Today’s song is from the 1952 film ‘Aandhiyaan’.

The early part of the 1950s was a turbulent period for the Hindi film industry. A wholesale, but silent change was taking pace. Though the exchange of film fraternity from India to Pakistan and vice versa had slowed down, the vacancies created by the exit of actors, directors and composers were getting filled up fast. At the same time, the older generation of artistes was slowly fading out, giving way to the artists of the newer generation.

Changes were taking place even in other areas, like public tastes in music and the film contents. This automatically changed the face of the film music and the type of film stories presented. Hindi films were now becoming entertainment oriented, taking a precedence over films discussing social reforms. Surprisingly, the decade of the 50s became a ‘ Golden Period ‘ for mythological, religious and devotional films. As many as 124 such films were released in 10 years from 1950 to 1959. This gave roughly an average of one such film released every month continuously for 10 years !

Older composers like Gyan Dutt, Husnlal Bhagatram, K Datta, Hansraj Behl etc were on the decline and the newer ones like Shankar-Jaikishen, Madan Mohan, OP Nayyar etc. prospered. Some old stalwarts like Naushad, C Ramchandra and SD Burman continued their popularity for many more years. Actors, who had entered this field in the second half of the 40s pushed hard to establish themselves into this new set up. It was easier for them to adapt their working pattern to suit the new tastes. One such actor was Dev Anand.

By the end of second world war, writer director Chetan Anand was struggling hard. He wrote dramas, worked for All India Radio, worked even for BBC and finally met KA Abbas of IPTA. Meanwhile, his brother Dev Anand too, after graduation, came down to Bombay and worked in the British Censor Office at a salary of Rs. 160 pm. He too joined IPTA. The brothers worked there and acted in IPTA’s drama, ‘Zubeida’. But their target was Hindi films. Luckily, in 1945, Dev got a role in Prabhat’s film ‘Hum Ek Hain’ and same time Chetan also became Director of India Pictures’ film ‘Neecha Nagar’. Both films were released in 1946 and flopped at the same time. ‘Neecha Nagar’ was critically acclaimed but popularly rejected. Till 1948, every film of Dev Anand was a flop. ‘Ziddi’ (1948), a film which he got courtesy Ashok kumar, was a hit film. Then came Madhubala and ‘Niraala’ (1950).

One day, Dev Anand went to Makanlal Jain, owner of M and T Films, and asked for his full payment in advance and also some more as a loan. Jain liked and trusted Dev, so he gave all that money to him. Dev took all that money to Chetan Anand and said, “Let us start our own banner. I will be the hero and you be the director. Suraiyya will be our heroine”. They established Navketan in 1949. Nav means New and Ketan was the name of Chetan’s son. They established their first office in room number 147 in Famous Studios, Mahalaxmi, Bombay.

Chetan Anand had written a drama ‘The Inspector General’, inspired by Nikolai Gogol’s drama ‘The Government Inspector’. With suitable adaptation in this drama, Navketan’s first film,’Afsar’ (1950) was made on shoe string budget, within six months. The film was released on 16-6-1950. And it promptly flopped. For their next film, they called in their good friend Guru Dutt to be the director and selected a crime story. They needed a new heroine. Mona Sinha, a cousin of Uma Anand (Chetan Anand’s wife) had come to Bombay as their guest. Chetan selected her and changed her name to Kalpana Kartik. She became the heroine of 7 Navketan films. Later on, when Dev Anand married Kalpana Kartik in 1954, Chetan Anand, in addition to being his brother, also became his co-Brother ( साडू ).

The film that Guru Dutt directed for Navketan – ‘Baazi’ (1951) became a hit film and it gave Navketan the much needed stability. Two more films were planned, ‘Aandhiyaan’ (1952) and ‘Humsafar’ (1953). Again, both films were flops. Navketan decided to fall back on a crime story once again. Uma Anand wrote the story, Chetan wrote the screenplay and Vijay Anand wrote the dialogues. SD Burman was brought back for the music – the music of ‘Baazi’ had also been a hit. The film – ‘Taxi Driver’ was directed by Chetan Anand and it became an unprecedented hit film. The songs became popular and SD Burman got the Filmfare award too. ‘Taxi Driver’ was also the first film showing the new logo of Navketan for the first time.

Coming to the film we are discussing today. ‘Aandhiyaan’ was written by Chetan Anand and Hameed Bhatt – his friend from their IPTA days. This time music was composed by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. Jaidev, who had learnt sarod from the Ustad, became his assistant for this and the next film. Ten years later Jaidev would independently give music to Navketan’s hit film, ‘Hum Dono’ (1961). All the 8 songs of ‘Aandhiyaan’ were written by Pt Narendra Sharma. 5 singers – Lata, Asha, Hemant Kumar, Laxmi Shankar and Surinder Kaur were used. Lata sang a long song in 3-parts, which is being presented today. It is almost 10 minutes long. One of the commenters on YouTube has stated that this was originally recorded as a 6-part song. Since HFGK reports only 3 parts, either the claim is wrong or the other 3 parts must have been discarded before the film took final shape.

The choreography for the film was done by Laxmi Shankar, who also sang one song in the film. The cast of the film was Dev Anand, Kalpana Kartik, Nimmi, KN Singh, MA Latif, Leela Mishra, Durga Khote etc. Johnny Walker had a small role in the film, probably as a mascot (which did not work this time). The story of the film is

Ram Mohan (Dev Anand) is a sincere and hard working advocate. He is the legal advisor to Seth Deen Dayal (MA Latif). Seth ji’s daughter Janki (Kalpana Kartik) and Ram Mohan are in love. Seth ji gives his consent for their marriage and they are engaged. Raami (Nimmi) secretly loves Ram Mohan but never expresses her love. Another businessman Kuber Das (KN Singh) wants to marry Janki.

Janki’s mother falls ill and Seth ji spends all his money on her treatment. Finally, he even asks for a loan from Kuber Das. Kuber puts a condition that Janki should marry him. With all other sources exhausted, Seth ji has no option. Janki also is ready to marry Kuber to save her mother. Thus Kuber marries Janki. When Janki’s mother comes to know this, she goes into a shock and passes away.

Kuber wants Janki to sleep with him, but she refuses. When he forces, Janki runs away and collides with Raami, who had come there to inform her about her mother’s death. When she sees Kuber forcing Janki, Raami kills Kuber Das. She is arrested and brought to court. Before she gets to hear her sentence she dies in the courtroom itself.

Ram Mohan and Janki get married. (No. 651)

The voice of Mukesh continues to enthral the world of music. Today (22 July) is his birth anniversary and I present here a short song from the film ‘Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai’ (1960). This film has already been Yippeee’d on the blog, but this particular rendition can as well be taken as an additional separate song.

Thanks to the help of Researchist Sadanandbhai and few more quotes from here and there, this is going to be quite different to my usual writing of short preface to the presentation of the song.

In my series ‘Genius of Jaidev’, I have presented about 60 filmy songs of Jaidevji, which were not covered on our musical Blog. I am unable to locate few more film songs of Jaidev ji, which are obscure, as I am a poor RESEARCHER. (In spite of the fact that I worked for 40 years in a RESEARCH Institute.)

5^th June is celebrated as ‘World Environment Day’ all over the world every year. The theme for this year is “Connecting People to Nature“.

I am approaching today’s post in a different manner. Instead of going into the details of the environmental agencies, their history and purpose, the significant environmental issues being faced by humanity on this planet, etc. I am thinking of our Hindi films and their music. The nature is so intimately connected herein. We cannot imagine our Hindi Film Music without ‘connecting with nature’.

When ‘Anand’ was released in theatres in 1970, I was still in school. I remember I did not get a chance to see this film on the big screen in the first run. It would be later re runs that I got to see this film. Being still not very involved with cinema and music, the best fare for us used to be what we could see on Doordarshan. Rather, whatever was telecast on Doordarshan was always the quality stuff in my mind. So having watched films like ‘Sikander’ (1941) and ‘Roti’ (1942) and ’Baazi’ (1951) on TV, the micro mind of mine carried them as benchmarks and anything that we would see on posters and billboards going to and from school, would be just so so. I remember, when we came to know about this film ‘Anand’, the names Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan did not mean much to us. Rajesh Khanna, to some extent, as we had all heard the “Mere Sapnon Ki Raani Kab Aayegi Tu” that became popular the year earlier.

Mahaa shoonya ke mahaan vistaar mein

Maut Tu Ek Kavita Hai

Nukta cheen hai gham e dil
