(Javed Akhtar) Trishul (1978)

Salim & Javed have recycled this story many times where an abandoned child is raised by his mother to grow up to get even with his estranged father. Yash Chopra himself directed several movies based on the same story. Besides the familiar theme, most of these movies also had almost the same stars. This movie was a huge hit. Yet this was one of the inferior works of everyone involved.

The team of Khayyam & Sahir was back once again for this movie. Even though results were not as spectacular as before when they pooled their talents together for "Kabhi Kabhie (1976)", the songs and music of this film are actually not that bad. One of our great and talented singers Yesudasji joins Kishoreda and Lataji in various songs in this film. He has three songs.

Interestingly, Waheeda who played wife of Amitabh in their previous outing in "Kabhi Kabhie" only two years earlier stars here as Amitabh's mother who eventually incites and inspires her son to avenge the wrong doing done by his father.

(Majrooh) Daaera (1953)

The story of “Daaera” revolves around a very young woman (played by Meena Kumari who was barely 19 at that time) tending to an ailing husband (played by Kumar) who is old enough to be her grandfather. Kamaal Amrohi (see his attached picture below), of “Mahal (1949)” and “Pakeezah (1972)” fame, who directed the movie, was married to Meenaji during this time. He was already married but Meenaji fell in love him during one of her shootings and married him in 1952. He was at least14 years senior to her.

The movie from the outset is very gloomy. Meenaji’s character never leaves the place she is in. Either she is taking care of her husband in one room or she is sleeping in the attached terrace and gazing the sky’s enormous vacuum. There are only few characters in the film that come and go. There is a doctor who pays an occasional visit to the patient. Next to the terrace there is another woman (Roopkala) who is hiding away from her own sad story. Then there is the landlady (Pratima Devi) who rented the house to the “odd” couple. She has a son (Nasir Khan) who along with rest in the family mistakenly thinks that Meena is the daughter of the old man and falls in love with her.

Amidst this story of darkness filled with gloom and eventual doom, one thing that stands out as a bright spot is its music. The songs composed by Jamal Sen are simply outstanding. More on Jamal Senji below. Beautiful lyrics for these songs were written by Kaif Bhopali and Majrooh Sultanpuri. The standout singer of the album is Mubarak Begum. She has three beautiful solos and a duet with Rafi Saab. Begum Saab is simply superb in these songs. I wonder why she never got her proper due. There are also three beautiful songs by Talatji in his own inimitable style that deeply touches heart.

A word about Jamal Senji. Jamal Sen was a descendant of Tansen and a rich lineage of proficient musicians preceding him in his family. He himself was a singer, dancer, poet, and was a master of many musical instruments including dholak, pakhawaj, and tabla. He worked many years under Master Ghulam Haider until the latter migrated to Pakistan after the partition. He finally got a break in Kidar Sharma’s “Shokhiyan” in 1951 as a full-fledged music director. The music of the film was a roaring success. It was followed by “Daaera”. The movie flopped but its music stood out. Uncompromising and proud of his lineage, Sen never was co-operative. This slowly alienated him among the film folks. He slowly drifted away from memories. In the end he died in sheer poverty, isolated, unsung, unwanted, and uncared for.

More about the songs from this film. The song “Aa Bhi Jaa” appears many times in the movie as the first two stanzas are repeated several times. Also the lovely duet “Devta Tum Ho” appears four times, each time with different lines. I took most of the songs from a DVD whose soundtrack was simply awful and the audio quality was uneven. I tried to clean the songs the best I could and the final result is not as bad as it sounds. For example, the song “Aa Bhi Jaa” starts with a lot of noise, about 30 seconds of music. Then when the vocals come the sound becomes crispier. I have a CD version of this (about a minute shorter) available. I will be happy to upload this if anyone is interested. Another note. The song “Aansoo Toh Nahin” in the DVD is 4 min 27 secs long. This is exactly identical to the CD version I am uploading here but that is nearly shorter by 70 seconds. Repeated listening of both versions didn’t offer any clue where the differences lie. If anyone is interested in the DVD version, I will be happy to upload this as well.

I am uploading these songs in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…
