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.

When Manoj Kumar approached him for lyrics and music for his film on the life of Bhagat Singh, the first thing he did was he traveled to Banga village in Punjab, and personally met with the Bhagat Singh’s moher, Mata Vidyawati ji. He talked with her about the legendary martyr, his childhood, his time in college, and as a freedom fighter. And the time he spent in the prison. From these reminiscences of Mata Vidyawati, the incredible poetry that emerged from the pen of this extraordinary poet became the iconic song of patriotic inspiration – “Tu Na Rona Ke Tu Hai Bhagat Singh Ki Maa. . .”.

One day, I was searching for something in the Hindi Film Geet Kosh (HFGK) by Harmandir Hamraz ji. While skipping through pages, I noticed a very peculiar thing. I sat up and started from the beginning all over again. I began from films of 1947 upto 1980 and confirmed what I had noticed.

This is one of my favourite songs from a film I like very much-Funtoosh-1956.
When this film was being advertised, there was quite a curiosity about the meaning of the word FANTOOSH. We had never heard this word- especially in the Non-Hindi belt- and no one knew what it meant. In those days, there was no Internet to find out. I was in college and we used to discuss about this word, advocating our guesses.
