Shair Aur Sargam

In this new thread I would like to share songs from the films (through the year 1999) for which the following seven great poets wrote lyrics. The poets are:

Anand Bakshi (around 670 films)
Hasrat Jaipuri (around 280 films)
Javed Akhtar (around 90 films)
Majrooh Sultanpuri (around 320 films)
Rajinder Krishan (around 230 films)
Shailendra (around 175 films)
Shakeel Badayuni (around 95 films)

I am attaching their picture below. Top row on the left is Shailendra and on the right is Hasrat Jaipuri. The second row from left to right are Shakeel Badayuni, Anand Bakshi, and Majrooh Sultanpuri. On the third row to the left is Rajinder Krishan and to the right is Javed Akhtar.

Today's topic is Anand Bakshi. He was one of the most prolific and successful writers. Laxmikant & Pyarelal were major beneficiaries. He wrote songs for about 100 films for which R.D. Burman composed music.

Here is his filmography...

(Anand Bakshi) Mera Gaon Mera Desh (1971)

Up and coming Vinod Khanna played a villain in this film that must have inspired the future blockbuster of 1975, “Sholay”. Khanna played a dacoit whose name in the film was “Jabbar Singh”. Many people are of the opinion that this was probably one of the best roles played by Khanna. May be. But it pales in comparison to Amjad Khan’s “Gabbar Singh” which was a monumental achievement in the history of Indian Cinema. Incidentally, Dharmendra appeared in both the films.

There are only five songs in the film and most of them became popular. Here the music directors LP in spite of the success of the songs, were using some of the tunes from their older hits. This is more evident in the song “Sona Lei Jaa Re” than in any other song. It reminds one immediately the 1969 hit from their composition in “Do Raaste”, “Bindiya Chamkegi”.

Anyway, here is this and other songs from the film…

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Janwar (1965)

This movie as with most of his earlier films was dominated by Shammi’s presence. He goes through numerous disguises for various situations. They are antics very familiar from his earlier movies.

There are seven fine songs in the film. Of these Shammi is in six of them. In this film, he is supposed to be playing a young college student. This is difficult to comprehend. Also, he started gaining weight that is obvious in many scenes. Rajshree, who played the heroine in the film, is supposed to be from a very poor family. She wears gorgeous clothes and has lovely jewelry to go with it. She even travels in shikaras in Kashmir. Later on in a scene she tells Shammi that she borrowed all those belonging from her friends. Simply unbelievable.

I am not sure what the title is about. I think to go along with other popular titles Shammi had, like “Junglee”, the movie probably was named thus. Rehman in an unsympathetic smaller role was disappointing. Then there was senior Kapoor. Even when there is not much action called for, in his hardly understandable diction, Prithvirajji displays theatrical histrionics.

From all this disappointment, the only thing worth remembering is its music. Shankar & Jaikishan are at again and do it again. Almost every song was a chartbuster. They even borrowed a Beatles tune from their hit song “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” for the composition of “Dekho Ab Toh”.

I am uploading all songs from the film, a couple of version songs, and a couple of instrumentals in two back-to-back posts. Here are the songs in the first post…

(Majrooh) Dharti Kahe Pukar Ke (1969)

This movie presents a story about three brothers, two who stay in the village to look after their farms and the other who goes to city to get educated. Then there is a village chief who loans money to the hapless farmers with collateral of their lands. Such a story has been told many times in various movies. The director does not offer any new ideas and the whole thing proceeds with a predictable mess.

Interestingly the movie was presented by Dharmendra. I am not sure what the connection was. One nice about the producers of the film was they dedicated it to the memory of the poet Shailendraji, who passed away in 1966 at a young age of 43.

Kanhaiyalal shines as the oldest of the three brothers. His younger brothers were played by Sanjeev Kumar (goes to city for education) and Jeetendra.

There are only handful of songs in the film. Here they are…

(Rajinder Krishan) Bombay Race Course (1965)

This film was originally released under the name of “Race Course”. In English, this is one word but the posters of this film spelled it out as two separate words. The movie was later released under the title “Bombay Race Course”.

There are only few songs in the film. Madan Mohanji worked here without Lataji. This may be because most songs have a touch of western music tunes and Asha was supposed to be adept in singing those type of songs. Asha has three beautiful solos. Incidentally, the lyricist Rajinder Krishanji, who was a favorite of Mohan Saab, in real life was a bigtime horse race enthusiast.

The pictures of Nalini Jaywant at the bottom of table are all from different films.

Here are the songs from the film…

(Shailendra) Door Gagan ki Chhaon Mein (1964)

If there is any doubt about the real genius of Kishore Kumar then show someone this film, “Door Gagan ki Chhaon Mein”. His ubiquitous presence can be felt in every frame of the picture. Besides acting and singing in the film, he also wrote its story (influenced by the 1958 Hollywood Western “The Proud Rebel”), screenplay, and couple of songs, composed music, produced, and directed. That is eight faces of this eccentric comic but serious minded genius. An amazing accomplishment anyway one looks at it.

The credits give Shailendraji as the only lyricist. But Kishoreda indeed wrote a couple of songs. Interestingly, in a live show Kishoreda before singing the hit song “Aa Chal Ke Tujhe” casually mentioned that he produced and directed this film besides writing its songs. Kishoreda did forget to mention Shailendraji’s name altogether.

One of the assistant music director of the film was Sebastian D’Souza, who assisted Shankar & Jaikishan in many of their movies.

This movie later was remade in Tamil, in 1966 as “Ramu” and in 1968 in Telugu, also as “Ramu”. Both films in these languages were hits.

I am uploading songs from this album including some specials and a few instrumentals in five back-to-back posts. The first two posts contain all the songs from the film. The third post contains a few specials. The fourth and fifth posts contain a few instrumentals.

Here are the songs in the first post…

(Hasrat Jaipuri & Shailendra) April Fool (1964)

Shankar & Jaikishan made sure that this day, April 1, celebrated as an All Fool's Day around the world, will be remembered by the Indian music lovers forever by composing some of their beautiful and memorable music for this film. Subodh Mukherjee, who introduced Saira Banu in "Junglee" in 1960, is back here with another winner with her in this film.

All songs from this film were chart busters. S&J were assisted by Sebastian and Dattaram.

The song “Aa Gale Lag Jaa” I am uploading here has over 5 minutes of music preceding it. This is the “Pool Aquatics Show” in the movie. I am also uploading this separately as a music clip in the third post.

I am uploading all of the hit songs plus a few music clips from the film in three back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…

(Anand Bakshi) Naya Zamana (1971)

The title may have “Naya” but there is nothing new or novel about this film. The story for few scenes has shades of Great Guru Dutt’s 1957 classic film “Pyaasa”. That movie is now considered to be one of the 100 best films ever made in the world. But this movie does great injustice by even thinking about and using some of the spirit of Guru’s unforgettable heart grabber.

Even the so reliable Burmanda comes up with a below average score for him. One might argue that “Duniya” was a chartbuster. Nonetheless I stick to my opinion.

However, I should mention about the great veteran actor Pran. He had a prominent role in the film and does come through as what a versatile and consummate artist he was. An excellent piece of artistry. We miss you Pran Saab!

Here are all the songs from the film…

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Naya Kanoon (1965)

Here is a movie that will be remembered for its beautiful music by Madan Mohanji and touching lyrics by Hasrat Jaipuri. Of the 110 or so movies Mohanji composed music for, it usually had many memorable songs by Lataji. This movie had no songs by Lataji. Instead this time it is Ashaji. Even though she had a couple of good numbers, it was Rafi Saab who steals the show. He sang a lovely romantic song “Kuchh Aisi Pyaari”. There are two deeply touching songs, only Rafi Saab can sing with so much pain, “Shamma Mein” and “Unhein Qissa-E-Gham”. Love you Rafi Saab!

There is not much to write about the movie. Another hackneyed story recycled many times before. This one movie I was disappointed with Dadamoni’s performance. One of the main reasons is that he was playing an unsympathetic character that was not fully developed. Interestingly, the movie will be remembered for Om Prakash’s performance. His was the dominant role in the film and he does a splendid job.

Here are all the sons from the film…
