I had first become aware of “Miss Mary” (1957) five years ago when this movie was reviewed by Memsaab in her blog. I went ahead to my friendly VCD/DVD shop and managed to find its VCD. I watched the movie and liked it, including its songs.

The starkness of realism, the play of light – on the characters and the scenario, the ultimate expressions in black and white, a play of a poet of celluloid, one of the few directors and performers who had the ability to integrate the viewer into the scene, and transpose the empathy of emotions into the hearts of the audience. His genre, his creations stand out like a lonely weathered tree in a barren landscape. His expressions of emotions are like a crescendo of a silent scream rising heavenwards from the pits of sadness and pain – an experience that will leave the viewers heart asunder, and the mind drained and exhausted of emotions. Really, the message that comes home from his films speaks to the futility of this life, its trappings and achievements, its crazy whirlwind zips on the roller coaster that is the ups and downs of this journey without a destination. For in the end, you are either heartbroken that you never did get what you desired, or you are miserable that you lost after having got what you desired.

I have mentioned in the past that the “puraani filmon ke geet” programme of Radio Ceylon from 7-30 to 8 AM used to be a very “boring” programme for youngsters like me during late 1960s and all of 1970s. I had become a big fan of Kishore Kumar after I heard his song “Mere saamne waali khidki mein” from “Padosan” (1968) and I wondered why the oldtime singers would not sing like Kishore Kumar.

Remembering Sardul Kwatra on the anniversary of his passing away (6th July, 2005).
Sardul Kwatra – An impressive and talented composer who failed to impress, in a film world where the sheer number of artists in the 1950s and 60s made it impossible for each one to make a mark. However, in their own limited ways, such artists have left behind musical memories that are no less remarkable. And the wonder is the treasure that is hiding in the obscure, unheard songs that simply did not come to the attention of the listening public for many a reason.

Shoon sadap nazron ki jhadap
Posted on: July 6, 2013
“Air Mail” (1960) was an obscure C grade movie by now. This movie was directed by B J Patel under the banner of People’s pictures. The movie had Ranjan, Malini, Jyoti, Rajan Kapoor, Merajkar, Maruti etc in it.
One song from this movie has been discussed in the past.
Today (6 july 2013) is the eighth death anniversary of Sardul Kwatra. On this occasion, here is a song from “Air Mail” (1960). The song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and chorus. Anand Bakshi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Sardul Kwatra.
Only the audio of this song is available and so it is difficult to tell about the picturisation. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
Song-Shoon shadap nazron ki jhadap hone de jaani (Air Mail)(1961) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Anand Bakshi, MD-Sardul Kwatra
Chorus
Lyrics
Shoon shadap nazron ki jhadap

Shoon shadap nazron ki jhadap

Shammi Kapoor got branded as the ‘rebel star’ after the success of his film ‘Tumsa Nahin Dekha’ (1957). In this film, for the first time, he moved away from the conventional type of acting set by the big three of his time – Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand and Raj Kapoor and developed his own style of acting. Almost around the same time, Sahir Ludhianvi also got tagged as the ‘rebel poet’ after the phenomenon success of the films ‘Pyaasa’ (1957). The streak of ‘rebelliousness’ in Sahir was confirmed when the songs of ‘Phir Subah Hogi’ (1958) became hit though the film did not get as much success at the box office as was expected. Both these films have been known for Sahir’s hard hitting lyrics on the deprivation of minimum standard of living for the lower strata of the society.
