Journey Through Lata’s Melodies – 03

I first became aware of this song through Abhi To Main Jawaan Hoon series on RMIM. Snehal Oza’s description was so vivid that it painted a picture of the song in my mind. The quest for it began in the late 90’s.

How nice it would be to be pampered as soon as you get up-with scores of attendants waiting upon you? Ah, indulgence. Mumtaz I envy you ?

Well, I am not crazy. But just crazy about a song from “Samson” in which Mumtaz is the lady who is the privileged one. The picturization shows a princess getting from her bed. A princess whose bed is made up of light and soft feathers, with satin sheets and all ……. A horde of lady attendants waiting on her before she even opens her eyes! The attendants runs up and down fetching her an overcoat, soft/comfy slippers etc. On top of it, there is a lady, Ameeta, singing to her a kind of suprabhaat. Our princess gets praised for her beauty and her youth early in the morning just like the Gods get praised for their magnanimity and benevolence. There is a tinge of sadness in the singer’s expressions which is ever so slight. Does she have dreams of her own pleading with God and is she like a worshipper whose entreaties are shoved to a corner by the Almighty?? May be so ?

This is a song from film Jaalsaaz-59. This film was made at a time when Kishore Kumar as a Comedian Hero was in his Top form and people used to go to theatres only to watch his antics and listen to the songs sung by him. Little importance was given by moviegoers to the, plot or histrionics in a Kishore Kumar film. There were other artists and movies to take care of good acting and good storylines, whereas Kishore Kumar movies offered something different, namely good laughs and entertainment, paisa-vasool style !

As is my wont, my attention to films of recent origin is scant and very selective.  Rather, I must say that my attention has to be drawn, nay, dragged towards a recent film, by others in my family, to make me watch one.  The 2005 film ‘Parineeta’, is one of them.  A film that I watched after it was recommended to me.  I would still consider the 1953 edition starring Meena Kumari and Ashok Kumar as the better, more mature portrayal, but nonetheless, I am verily impressed by this newer incarnation of this filming of Sarat Chandra’s classic starring Saif Ali, Vidya Balan and Sanjay Dutt.

Earlier in the morning today, I received an email.  Antaraa Mondal, film journalist and a good friend, sent me a link.  This link is for an interview of Majrooh Sultanpuri by Peeyush Sharma, originally recorded in 1993.  And republished today.  On the anniversary of his birth.  I read through the interview.  I find quite a bit of discussion of Majrooh Sb’s working with another stalwart, music director SD Burman.  Quite a coincidence that it is the birth anniversary of Burman Dada also today.

Today (1 october 2015) is the 96th birth anniversary of Majrooh Sultanpuri(1 October 1919 – 24 May 2000). He is easily the most prolific lyricist during the golden era of HFM before Anand Bakshi. Maintaining quality and quantity as well as great rapport with all music directors was the secret of his long and successful career.
