Jab dard nahin thhaa seene mein

I have often opined that people who can be the most playful when happy can also be the most mournful when sad. Kishore Kumar is quite an interesting study in contrast that way. He is mainly known for his happy go lucky genre of songs and acting, but when it came to producing movies, most of his movies, except “Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi” (1958) were all serious movies. Likewise, when one makes a list of the most memorable songs sung by Kishore Kumar, lots and lots of serious/sad songs are bound to figure in that list. In fact, Kishore Kumar has sung more sad/serios songs than is normally believed.

Atul has just brought to my notice that Kishore Kumar’s birthday falls on 4th August. He wanted me to write up a song on this occasion – how could I possibly refuse? For one, it is for Atul’s blog and therefore an honour to be part of it in any possible way. Secondly, it is for Kishore da – and he’s always been close to my heart too. So there was no second thought – and here I am, typing away furiously on my keyboard.

“Bandish” (1980) was a movie starring Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini. This was a Rajesh Khanna movie in his second phase as an actor after he had lost his superstardom. He tried very hard to regain his superstardom, but it was too late for him by that time. Typically his stellar performance in these movies would meet wit lukewarm response from movie goers. It was in such stark contrast to the response of public in his superstardom days when his appearance in the credits of a movie was all that was needed to bring in the crowds.

Like any young pre teen kid growing up in late 1960s and early 1970s, I was learning new things every day. I would listen to songs blaring from loudspeakers and from radios. It was one fine evening in 1960s that I heard a song coming out from the radio. I had never heard this song before, and I loved the song instantly and unconditionally, as kids tend to do.

“Chhoti Bahu” (1971) is a movie that had Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore in it. I have not seen this movie so I have no idea about the story of this movie, though the title indicated that the movie may have something to do with ladies making sacrifices for the family honour etc.

Kishore Kumar, who made his debut as a playback singer in 1948 remained on the fringes for the first two decades of his singing career. It was in 1968 that he burst into the Hindi playback scene like a Tsunami that swept away everything in its wake.
