Blog 10-Year Challenge (2009-19) – Song No. 32
——————————————————————————————
Another date, and another look at our blog’s history. Ten years ago – well just a thought came to mind. If, say, we were more than two decades active with this blog, and then this idea occurred that we should start looking at our history, then guess, what would be the title of this series. 🙂 🙂 Nothing so straightforward as ‘Blog 10-Year Challenge’. The title then would be ‘Bees Saal Baad’. Sadly enough, there is no film in Hindi cinema history that talks something about a 10 year gap. 😀 😀
Coming to 25th May of 2009. Quite as regularly, six songs were posted that day. The films covered were
- Patita 1953
- Shabnam 1964
- Main Suhaagan Hoon 1964
- Ganwaar 1970
- Naina 1973
- Asha 1980
Of these six films, all but one have already been yippeee’d. The one remaining film is ‘Naina’ from 1973.
This film is one of those which suffered delays because of the unexpected departure of Rajshri from India. Rajshri, daughter of V Shantaram from his second wife Jaishree, made her debut as a child artist at the age of 4, in V Shantaram’s film – ‘Dr Kotnis Ki Amar Kahani’ (1948). She continued to appear in child roles for the next decade or so, all appearances in her father’s films – ‘Bhool’ in 1949 and ‘Subah Ka Taara’ in 1954. In 1961, she appears in a side role in the film ‘Stree’.
Her break in commercial cinema other than her father’s productions came in 1963, when she was cast opposite to Manoj Kumar in two films ‘Ghar Basa Ke Dekho’ and ‘Grahasthi’. Then in 1964, V Shantaram produced another musical spectacle – ‘Geet Gaaya Patthron Ne’, in which he cast Rajshri opposite to Jeetendra in his debut role as a hero. The same year we also see her in ‘Ji Chaahta Hai’ with Joy Mukherji and ‘Shehnai’ with Biswajit. Her career seems to be taking off well, as she is being actively cast opposite to the top line leading men in the industry.
1965 she gets into top casting with Shammi Kapoor in ‘Jaanwar’. The same year, we have another Biswajit starrer – ‘Do Dil’. The next year, she makes her presence felt with ‘Mohabbat Zindagi Hai’, working opposite to Dharmendra. In the same year, another film with Biswajit – ‘Sagaai’. About this time, the preparations are on for a supposed blockbuster, a film that went to multiple foreign locations, stringing in a loose story and a large cast of actors, led by Raj Kapoor and Rajshri. She was really in the top bracket now. Being the leading lady with Raj Kapoor as the hero, was still a big thing at that time.
But then, destiny intervened. Working on locations in the US, she met with an American young man – Greg Chapman, and promptly fell in love. They got married in 1969, and off she went and settled in the US – in Los Angeles, where she still lives with her husband, together managing their clothing business. A number of producers in Bombay got badly hit by this move, with the films and projects that had been launched and even partly made, with Rajshri in the lead. There was a lot of mixed press that happened at that time, when she announced to just up and leave India, and leave her work and career too.
In 1967, two films were released – ‘Dil Ne Pukaara’ with Shashi Kapoor, and ‘Gunahon Ka Devta’ with Jeetendra. In 1968 came ‘Brahmchari’ again with Shammi Kapoor, probably the last film that she completed before her departure from India. In 1968, also came ‘Suhaagraat’ working with Jeetendra again. I remember clearly, in one of the film magazines, maybe Madhuri or some other – a photograph of Rajshri appeared. And the caption of that photo was – “सुहागरात पूरी हो या न हो, मैं तो चली।” (“Whether Suhaagraat (literally the nuptial night) is accomplished or not, I am going”). That caption drew a lot of attention at that time. Essentially, the shooting work of ‘Suhaagraat’ was not complete when she left. The producer and director somehow assembled the material that was already shot, and then improvised to complete the rest of the scenes without the physical presence of Rajshri. E.g. the song “Ho Ganga Maiya Main Jab Tak Ki Paani Rahe” – just view the video of this song. Except for a couple or three close ups which seem to be stock shots from some other scene, in the scenes where Rajshri’s presence is required, the director has been clever enough to not close up the camera to the lady’s face. In the entire song one does not get to see clearly, the face of the lady in white. In one of the scenes a lady’s hands are shown carrying flowers and running towards the River Ganga – the face of the lady is not shown. This entire song was improvised, as were few other shots in the film.
Now coming to ‘Naina’. The release date of this film as 1973 anyway sounds dubious since Rajshri had already left India in 1969-70 time frame. I remember having read, once again in film magazine of that era, that the producer, sitting on a partially completed film, and having failed to convince Rajshri to cooperate to get it to completion, made a decision to modify the storyline, include an accidental death of the character played by Rajshri, bring in another female lead – Moushumi Chatterji, bring in one more dancer – Padma Khanna, and completed the film. The film in its final production was very different from the original conception. A couple of songs and some scenes with Rajshri are retained. And the rest of the storyline was changed and re-shot. And yes, Moshumi Chatterji gets the top billing, ahead of Rajshri.
The film is produced by Shakti International and is directed by Kanak Mishra. Geet Kosh lists seven songs for this film, written by three songwriters – Hasrat Jaipuri, Indiwar and Kaifi Azmi. Music is by Shanker Jiakishan. The star cast is listed as Shashi Kapoor, Moushumi Chatterjee, Rajshri, Rehman, Akashdeep, Devid, Padma Khanna, Sanjana, Shaukat Kaifi, Praveen Pal, Madhumati, Jagirdar, Nagar, Samson, Firoza, Tirath, Paulson, Dhanraj, Sitaram, Krishan Kumar, Radheshyam, Jugnu, Darpan, Sidharth, Farida Jalal, and AK Hangal.
Coming to this song today. As I remembered, and then again scanned this film today, this song is not present in the film. Possibly this is another casualty of the change in storyline. The song is recorded and is part of the records that were released for this film. But it is not carried in the film.
The lyrics are written by Hasrat Jaipuri. Music is by Shanker Jaikishan – in all likelihood, this music would have been scored prior to the passing away of Jaikishan in 1971. The singing voice is of Sharda. The song is a sad, ‘chal ud ja re panchhi’ type of song. Maybe, after the change in storyline, the director found it difficult to fit it into the revised scheme.
A very well written, very well composed and very well sung song this one is. I am sure you will also like it very much.
Song – Mann Ke Panchhi Kahin Door Chal Door Chal (Naina) (1973) Singer – Sharda, Lyrics – Hasrat Jaipuri, MD – Shanker Jaikishan
Lyrics
hmmmm hmm hmmmmm hmmmmm
hmmmm hmm hmmmmm hmmmmm
mann ke panchhi kahin door chal door chal
is chaman mein to apna guzaara nahin
gair ki hai dagar
gair ka hai nagar
saans lene ka bhi ek sahaara nahin
mann ke panchhi kahin. . .
koi humdum nahin
na wafaadaar hai
zindagi ab to jeene se bezaar hai
koi humdum nahin
na wafaadaar hai
zindagi ab to jeene se bezaar hai
gham ke toofaan hain
jis taraf dekhiye
aur toofaan mein koi kinaara nahin
mann ke panchhi kahin door chal door chal
is chaman mein to apna guzaara nahin
mann ke panchhi kahin. . .
hum ne dekhe yahaan
pathhron ke sanam
pooj kar bhi jinhen
hum to pachhtaayen hain
hum ye dekhe yahaan
pathhron ke sanam
pooj kar bhi jinhen
hum to pachhtaayen hain
zindagi ke liye haath phailaayen hum
aisa jeena to hum ko gawaara nahin
mann ke panchhi kahin door chal door chal
is chaman mein to apna guzaara nahin
mann ke panchhi kahin. . .
ye zameen beraham
aasmaan pur-sitam
in hadon se bhi aage
nikal jaayen hum
ye zameen beraham
aasmaan pur-sitam
in hadon se bhi aage
nikal jaayen hum
aasmaanon pe bhagwan bhi khaamosh hai
aisi kismet hai koi hamaara nahin
mann ke panchhi kahin door chal door chal
is chaman mein to apna guzaara nahin
mann ke panchhi kahin door chal door chal
is chaman mein to apna guzaara nahin
gair ki hai dagar
gair ka hai nagar
saans lene ka bhi ek sahaara nahin
mann ke panchhi kahin. . .

Hindi script lyrics (Provided by Sudhir)
———————————————————-
हम्मममम हम्म हम्ममम हम्ममम
हम्मममम हम्म हम्ममम हम्ममम
मन के पंछी कहीं दूर चल दूर चल
इस चमन में तो अपना गुज़ारा नहीं
गैर की है डगर
गैर का है नगर
सांस लेने का भी एक सहारा नहीं
मन के पंछी कहीं॰ ॰ ॰
कोई हमदम नहीं
ना वफादार है
ज़िंदगी अब तो जीने से बेज़ार है
कोई हमदम नहीं
ना वफादार है
ज़िंदगी अब तो जीने से बेज़ार है
ग़म के तूफान हैं
जिस तरफ देखिये
और तूफां में कोई किनारा नहीं
मन के पंछी कहीं दूर चल दूर चल
इस चमन में तो अपना गुज़ारा नहीं
मन के पंछी कहीं॰ ॰ ॰
हम ने देखे यहाँ
पत्थरों के सनम
पूज कर भी जिन्हें
हम तो पछताए हैं
हम ने देखे यहाँ
पत्थरों के सनम
पूज कर भी जिन्हें
हम तो पछताए हैं
ज़िंदगी के लिए हाथ फैलाएँ हम
ऐसा जीना तो हमको गवारा नहीं
मन के पंछी कहीं दूर चल दूर चल
इस चमन में तो अपना गुज़ारा नहीं
मन के पंछी कहीं॰ ॰ ॰
ये ज़मीन बेरहम
आसमान पुर-सितम
इन हदों से भी आगे
निकल जाएँ हम
ये ज़मीन बेरहम
आसमान पुर-सितम
इन हदों से भी आगे
निकल जाएँ हम
आसमानों पे भगवन भी खामोश है
ऐसी किस्मत है कोई हमारा नहीं
मन के पंछी कहीं दूर चल दूर चल
इस चमन में तो अपना गुज़ारा नहीं
मन के पंछी कहीं दूर चल दूर चल
इस चमन में तो अपना गुज़ारा नहीं
गैर की है डगर
गैर का है नगर
सांस लेने का भी एक सहारा नहीं
मन के पंछी कहीं॰ ॰ ॰

The 25th of October is an important date for Hindi film music lovers. In fact, not just for them but for lovers of Urdu poetry too. For it is the anniversary of passing away of one of the industry’s foremost lyricists, Sahir Ludhianvi, who was highly regarded not just for lyrics but also for his poetry. In fact it was his poetry that brought him recognition early on – he just extended it to the film industry.

The last post by me in the blog was on 28th february 2016. Nine days have passed since then and I have not posted a single post in the blog during this period !
Some unavoidable reasons kept me away from the blog for this long. Despite my absence, the blog stayed active thanks to posts made by Sudhir Ji. I am extremely thankful to him to keep the musical bandwagon going single handedly for these nine days.

Welcome all to our next century milestone, piling nine hundred on top of eleven thousand. And we are now just 100 short of the next thousandth milestone. And we hope to get there shortly now. This milestone has been quite slow to arrive. We have taken full forty days from the previous century, which occurred on 24th Jan.
