At the turning of the decade of 1950s, changes, as always, were in the offing. Careers of established stalwarts of the ilk of Anil Biswas and C Ramchandra were on the downward trend. And a new crop of music magicians were becoming visible on the horizon. As the calendar clock reached 1960, two duo teams started to make their presence felt. The elder partner of one of these teams, Kalyan ji Veer ji Shah had already made a debut as a solo music director back in 1958. He made his presence felt with his compositions in two films that year – ‘Post Box 999’ and ‘Samraat Chandragupt’. In 1959, he worked on three films, under his solo direction – ‘O Tera Kya Kehna’, ‘Bedard Zamaana Kya Jaane’ and ‘Ghar Ghar Ki Baat’. In the same year, he also teamed up with his younger sibling, Anand ji, and the duo team of Kalyan ji Anand ji made their first appearance in three films – ‘Satta Bazaar’, ‘Madaari’ and ‘Chandrasena’.

(1973 – Duet)

The duet selection for 1973 is composed by an old time stalwart – OP Nayyar. The music from the film ‘Taxi Driver’ made quite a splash on the radio waves, when it was released, especially the Krishan Kalle number “Pyaar Karte Ho Yaar, Karke Darte Ho Yaar” and the peppy Asha Bhosle number “Baalam Harjaai, Jaa Main To Aankh Milaa Pachhtaai”. This duet was also famously heard on the radio frequently.

Nainon se naina milaa ke – Song no. 8
——————————————-
ishq qaatil se bhi, maqtool se hamdardi bhi
ye bata kis se mohabbat ki jazaa maange gaa ?
sajda khaaliq ko bhi, iblees se yaarana bhi
hashr mein kis se aqeedat ka silaa maange gaa ?

(Allama Iqbal)

When in doubt tell the truth. (Mark Twain)

There are innumerable ‘when in doubt…’ quotes out there from ‘when in doubt wear red’ to ‘go public’ to ‘throw it out’. Just to give the briefer ones. There are some sensible ones like ‘do not react’ or ‘sleep over it’. For someone like me fortunate enough to know Urdu, it makes sense to turn to Urdu poetry.

There are instances of Hindi film artists, especially of the 30s to 50s who rose to great heights in their filmy career but died as paupers and penniless. For instance, Chandramohan, the most handsome actor of his time who captivated the audience with his acting prowess (and also with his eyes) in films like ‘Amritmanthan’ (1934), ‘Pukar’ (1941), ‘Roti’ (1942), ‘Humaayun’ (1945) and ‘Shaheed’ (1948) died in 1949 in acute poverty at a young age of 44. It is said that his funeral expenses were borne by his close friend Motilal. But after 16 years of Chandramohan’s death, Motilal also died in 1965 almost penniless.
