Hullo Atuldom

I think I should get over this habit of waking up late to dates. I remembered that today (14 august 2018) was Johnny Lever’s birthday and later, yesterday, around seven in the evening I remembered that 14th august is also Shammi Kapoor’s anniversary. He passed away this date in 2011. Its been seven years.

Shammi Kapoor the man with “Neeli aankhen” (bade hai dil ke kale haan yehi neeli si aankhon waale) were his eyes actually blue or were they light? The gora-chitta-banka naujawan. The dancer who, I am sure, made a number of choreographers cry by doing his own stuff to the rhythm of the songs and had audiences lapping it up. And IMHO Helen was one dancer who managed to follow the choreographer when Shammi did his own stuff on his cue during dance numbers – the last part of “ai ai ya karoon main kya suku suku”is the best example for this. He would have continued in this manner but for the death of his beloved wife Geeta Bali, post which he lost interest for a few years, and then when he returned to the screen he began looking older than his age. He played Vinod Khanna’s older brother in 1971 in “Preetam” and father two years later in “Zameer”. Leena Chandavarkar, his heroine in Preetam, looks very tiny in front of him.

His movies all had memorable songs, mostly sung by Mohd. Rafi in the 60s and later in the 70s & 80s Kishore Kumar sang a few songs filmed on Shammi. There is video on YouTube wherein Shammi talks of his friendship with Kishore Kumar which possibly began at the time of “Mem Sahib” (1956/57) but (in Shammi’s words) he got a chance to lip-sync to Kishore only in the late 70s and 80s. when I heard Shammi mention “Mem Sahib” I decided to see it on YouTube. First thing that struck me was all the actors played characters that we later generation audiences are not familiar with. Meena Kumari played a mod-girl, Shammi Kapoor a negative character and Kishore Kumar a brahmachari who is confused about the ways of the world.

Yesterday when I realised the significance of 14th august with regard to Shammi Kapoor I had a chat with our Atulji to find out if there were any Shammi song left, are we at the bottom of the barrel? He gave me a list of post 1970 movies and also mentioned “Preetam”. I remember having seen this movie made by Bhappi Sonie in the times when doordarshan was the sole source of entertainment. I remember Leena Chandavarkar was paired opposite Shammi and Helen was for Vinod Khanna. I remembered the songs were also decently good.
Today’s song is a typical Shammi Kapoor song in the sense it is sung by Mohd. Rafi with music by Shankar Jaikishan. Only odd man out here is the lyricist -Rajinder Krishan.

Remembering Shammi Kapoor with this song from 1971.

“China Town”(1962) was produced and directed by Shakti Samant for Shakti films, Bombay. The movie had Shammi Kapoor, Shakila, Helen, Madan Puri, S N Bannerji, Mridula, Jeewankala, Gautam Mukherji, Kanu Roy, Shetty, Samson, Keshav, Khursheed, Tuntun, Rasheed Khan, Polson, F C Chang, Khatana, Fazal, Abdul, Lydia, Deendayal, Balaram, Ranjeet Sood, Shamsher Singh, Master aziz, Master Aslam, Aruna, Ram Reddy, Bina, Mauji Singh, B Bannerji, Bhattacharya, Minu, Mohan, Omi etc in it.

The movie had eight songs in it. Six of these songs have been covered in the blog.

Here is the seventh song from “China Town”(1962) to appear in the blog. This song is a duet sung by Asha Bhonsle and Rafi. Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ravi.

The song is sung in qawaali style but it is picturised as a mujra style dance song on a dancer who lip syncs in Asha Bhonsle’s voice whom I am unable to identify as well as on Shammi Kapoor, playing her client, who sings in Rafi’s voice. It seems that Shammi Kapoor is in disguise and is on a spying mission.

I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify the female dancer.

Song-Bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu (China Town)(1962) Singers-Asha Bhonsle, Rafi, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-Ravi

Lyrics

humse mat poochho ke hum kya kar gaye
kis tarah nazron ka daaman bhar gaye
koi inki shokhiyaan dekha kiya
aa aa aa aa
hum to inki saadgi per mar gaye

haaye
alla kasam
o bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu
bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu
bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu

haath mein teer na talwaar china chin hin chu
haath mein teer na talwaar china chin hin chu

haaye ye naaj ki jis naaj pe laila mit jaaye
haaye ye naaj ki jis naaj pe laila mit jaaye
haaye ye husn ki jis husn pe duniya lut jaaye
dil ise dekhe to mushqil hai ki khaamosh rahe
mera jimma hai
kisi ko bhi agar hosh rahe

haaye haaye haaye haaye sadqe
hai kuchh aisa mera dildaar china chin chin chu
bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu
bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu
bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu

haath mein teer na talwaar china chin chin chu
haath mein teer na talwaar china chin chin chu

inki har baat pe nikle na mera dam kaise
inki har baat pe nikle na mera dam kaise
ye adaayen hon to qurbaan na hon hum kaise
kabhi is tarah khafa
jaise koi pyaar kare
kabhi khaamosh
ki jaise koi ikraar kare
aur
kabhi ikraar mein inkaar china chin chin chu

bada qaatil mera dildaar china chin chin chu
bada qaatil mera dildaar china chin chin chu
bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu
haath mein teer na talwaar china chin chin chu
haath mein teer na talwaar china chin chin chu

humne chaaha thha ki zaalim ko na chaahenge kabhi
humne chaaha thha ki zaalim ko na chaahenge kabhi
ik sitamgaar se ab yoon na nibhaayenge kabhi
par karen kya
ki hum hi hoke khafa bhool gaye
jab mili aankh
to sab jaur o jafa bhool gaye

o kasam khuda ki
kya karen
aa hi gaya pyaar china chin chin chu
o bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu
bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu
bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu

haath mein teer na talwaar china chin chin chu
haath mein teer na talwaar china chin chin chu
bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu
bada qaatil hai mera yaar china chin chin chu
o bada
qaatil
mera yaar
china chin chin chu
bada qaatil
