=============
Genius of Jaidev
=============
Four songs from the 1977 film ‘Alaap’ has been already posted in this blog. this one second in my series will be the fifth one. I am not repeating the details of that film here, but will describe the scene depicted in the presentation.

Tawayaf Sarjubai, acted by Chhaya Devi, sings a soulful bandish in Raag ‘Desh’. She is remembering, in flashback, the pain of a prince of some state, Rajasaheb, acted by Sanjeev Kumar, who had just lost his beloved wife. Many tawayafs were patronized by princes for their singing talents during that period.

Jaidev , unlike the MDs of that era, utilized unknown or rarely heard singers as far as Hindi films are concerned. This duet is by two performing artists, Fayyaz (well known Marathi stage artist) and Bhupinder. (well known non-film gazal singer) I am sure this song will bring tears in the eyes to the sensitive souls and lovers of good music. May I invite you all to listen to this creation and wet the eyes with me?

PS-The audio of the solo version of the song is now uploaded by Sudhir ji alongwith the Devnagri lyrics. The two versions are identical except for one extra line repeated in the duet version at the end.

आई ऋतु सावन की
पिया मोरा जाये रे

The best memory I have of this artist is the visual from ‘Araadhna’ (1969), sitting in the driver seat, looking crisp and dapper in a suit and matching cap, driving single handedly and playing mouth organ with the free hand, maneuvering the vehicle so that it keeps pace with the small toy train as it wounds its way on the hilly trek to Darjeeling, thus enabling a free hand to Rajesh Khanna to perform his gymnastics in the open top vehicle, as he belts out the now iconic “Mere Sapnon Ki Rani Kab Aayegi Tu”, serenading a coy Sharmila Tagore sitting in a window seat of the train, hiding her face behind Alistair MacLean’s novel, ‘When Eight Bells Toll’, but also peeking from the edges of the book that she is obviously not reading.

“Kahaani Kismat Ki” (1973) was produced and directed by Arjun Hingorani, who pioneered the use of movie titles beginning with the letter K. Unlike those who came in late (read Ekta Kapoor), he would have three word titles, and each word would begin with K. Apart from “Kahaani Kismat Ki”, his other titles read “”Kab Kyun aur Kahaan” (1970), “Khel Khilaadi Ka” (1977), “Kaattilon Ke Kaatil”(1981) and “Kaun Kare Kurbaani” (1991). Clearly the letter K was lucky for Arjun Hingorani.
