(Anand Bakshi) Juari (1968)

Shashi played a gambler in this film with three women (Tanuja, Nanda, and Naaz) in love with him at various phases of his not so happy and tumultuous life. His turning to decadence was not convincingly documented in the film and therefore what could have been a gripping drama turned out to be another ordinary film.

An interesting thing about this film is that the music director duo Laxmikant & Pyarelal were assistants to Kalyanji & Anandji, who were the actual music directors of the film. LP have already established a name for themselves and by this time were a force in the industry. Their repertoire up to this point included many hit films as well as two Filmfare Awards as the Best Music Directors for the films “Dosti” in 1965 and “Milan” in 1967. And yet here they are. Assisting K&A.

The second part of the song “Humsafar” comes at the end of the film. I am including it here because of the lead music. Also, the couplet “Main Jeet Saka” appeared in the song “Main Hoon”. I am including it here because the lead music is different.

Here are these and other songs from this film…

(Hasrat Jaipuri) O Tera Kya Kahna (1959)

Kalyanji of Kalyanji & Anandji team began as a music director in 1957 without his brother as part of his team. As a solo music director, he gave music to few films. These include “Bedard Zamana Kya Jane (1959)”, “O Tera Kya Kahna (1959)”, “Post Box 999 (1958)”, and “Samrat Chandragupt (1957)”. After these Anandji became part of the team and the team gave music for over 200 films.

One song stands out in this album. It is Geetaji’s “Majnu Ke Chhilke”. It is simply a riot. Here is this and other songs from this film…

(Majrooh) Sarhad (1960)

This is the second film this year (1960) the very beautiful and talented Suchitra Sen was paired with Dev. The other one was "Bombai Ka Babu". C. Ramchandra was at the helm of the music of "Sarhad". Most of the tunes in this album, by Ramchandra's own acknowledgement, were inspired by popular Western tunes.

Here are these songs...

(Rajinder Krishan) Sharada (1957)

L.V. Prasad (more about him below) produced and directed this film based on the Telugu hit “Ilavelpu” made in 1956. While the Telugu film was a super hit, Hindi was an average success. Even though it had fine performances by all the principals, the music by C. Ramchandra was a big let down. Only one song of the many it had is worth noting, the duet by Asha & Lata, “O Chaand”. I am uploading this and other songs from the film in two back-to-back posts.

Shyama and Raj Mehra won respectively the Best Supporting Actress and the Best Supporting Actor Awards from Filmfare. Also, Shivaji Awdhut won the Filmfare Award as the Best Film Editor.

A note about the song “Nikhila Bhuvana”. This one appears almost near the beginning of the film. Few moments later it appears in the full song “Jana Gana Mangala Daayak-1”. I am uploading both of these below.

Incidentally the titles list singers as Lata, Asha, Manna, Mukesh, Chitalkar, and Vinod Chatterji. Kamal Barot, who apparently is a co-singer of the songs “Aajoo Re” and “Bhaagwaan”, was not mentioned. Also, Shamashad Begum is another apparent co-singer of the song “Bhaagwaan”. Her name also was not mentioned in the credits. I am not certain which song Vinod Chatterji, whose name was given in the credits, sang. I am guessing this is probably the male voice in the song “Aajoo Re”. I am requesting our knowledgeable members to share the correct information if they have it. Thank you.

The following paragraphs briefly describe the career of the producer and director of the film, L.V. Prasad. This article is condensed and adapted from an article I wrote earlier for the savithri.info website.

L.V. Prasad (please see the attached picture), whose full name was Akkineni Lakshmi Vara Prasad, was born in Andhra Pradesh in 1908. As a child he did not show much interest in studies. He was attracted to dramas and movies and wanted to be part of them.

Prasad married young at 17, and soon thereafter had a daughter. He had a strong urge to act in movies, and one night quietly slipped away from his home without telling his wife or parents.

After he arrived in Mumbai, Prasad who spoke only Telugu, found it difficult to find employment in the film industry. But after months of struggle, he found a job running errands with the Venus Film Company. He landed finally a small role in the first India Talkie (a talkie is a talking movie as compared to a silent one) cinema in Hindi, “Alam Ara” in 1931. While working on “Alam Ara,” Prasad met H.M. Reddy, now known as the “Telugu Cine Pitamaha” or the grandfather of the Telugu cinema. Reddy was making arrangements for a Tamil film, “Kalidas”, and offered Prasad a small role in it. This was the first Tamil Talkie. Coincidentally, he landed a role in the first Telugu Talkie, “Bhaktha Prahlada”. Thus, Prasad was the only person who had the distinction of appearing in the first Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu Talkies.

After this Prasad was in and out of jobs and worked either in Chennai or in Mumbai wherever he found work. During one of his Mumbai stints he met the stage and film actor Prithviraj Kapoor. This led him to work in Prithvi Theatres. While working there he met and befriended young Raj Kapoor, the oldest son of Prithviraj.

After the War, Chennai was busy again making movies. Prasad decided to move to Chennai. He was immediately hired not only to act in the film “Griha Pravesham” but also to direct it. The movie became a hit and it is now considered to be one of the landmark movies of the 40’s. Following this success, Prasad acted in or directed several movies. One of these movies was “Mana Desam,” made in 1949, that introduced young N.T. Rama Rao in a supporting role. Rao later became a much sought after actor and a successful politician.

Prasad directed Vijaya Pictures first film “Shavukar” in 1950, which became a hit and established him as one of the premiere directors. In that same year he also directed “Samsaram,” another hit that introduced Savithri, who went on to become one of the greatest actresses of Indian cinema, in a bit role. Prasad also directed Sivaji Ganesan in the Tamil film “Manohara,” which elevated Sivaji to unprecedented heights of stardom.

Prasad started his own company in 1956 and made “Ilavelpu” in Telugu. He later remade this in Hindi as “Sharada (1957)” with Meena Kumari and Raj Kapoor. It was the first of many successful Hindi films to come out of the Prasad Pictures banner. Prasad produced films in various Indian languages, including Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu.

In 1982, Prasad received Dadasaheb Phalke Award for his distinguished services to the Indian cinema.

Prasad founded “The L.V. Prasad Eye Institute” in 1987. This was even earlier than the much heralded “Sankara Eye Foundation”. Its head office is in Hyderabad with branches spread throughout India. It is estimated that they have treated over 20 million people since it was founded and half of them for no cost to the patients.

Prasad -- an actor, director, camera assistant, story writer, and producer passed away in 1994.

Here are the songs of “Sharada” starting in the next post…

(Shakeel Badayuni) Jurm Aur Sazaa (1974)

This is another film produced, directed and acted in by N.A. Ansari. The story is the same old stuff he tried and failed many times before. He still keeps on trying. Again this one is another turkey. Some of the songs try to lift the mood of the film but the movie is so bad that even anything good about these songs is simply obliterated from the memory.

Incidentally, the lyricist Ram Bhardwaj was introduced in this film.

Here are the songs from this film…

(Anand Bakshi) Inquilaab (1984)

I am skipping my usual chronological ordering to upload songs from this film to cater for a request...

This movie was based on a Kannada film. Its release coincided with the time when Bachchan entered politics. Most of the film was a repetition of many of Amitabh’s earlier hits. The difference with this movie was the unexpected way it ended. Not many may not agree with the way the hero found a solution to deal with the political corruption but the way it was done left a definite dramatic impact on the audience.

There is one catchy song in the film “Saare Badan” with others passable. Here is this and other songs from the film…

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Qaidi No. 911 (1959)

This film was a sleeper hit thanks to its fine music by Dattaram. Several songs from the film were popular. Of these standout was “Meethi Meethi”, both versions. I am uploading these both versions and others below…

(Majrooh) Tu Nahin Aur Sahi (1960)

Betrayed by a woman he loved dearly, this movie tells the story of man who turns bad and moves from one woman to another and another. Thus the title of the movie “Tu Nahin Aur Sahi”. The title song by Mukesh was a chart-buster when the movie was released. There are four duets by Asha and Rafi Saab and at least couple of them, “Dekhiye” and “Yeh Rang”, are okay. Here are these and other songs from this film…

(Rajinder Krishan) Adalat (1958)

This is one disaster of a film. It is simply unbearable to watch but for the fine performance by Nargis and an excellent score by Madan Mohanji. Even in a film like this Nargis shows why she was such a great consummate splendid artist. My main problem is that, an educated lady she is, the role played by Nargis can not seem to get hold of her life and let everyone take advantage of her. Pran plays a man who is so abominable that you never want to meet another person like him in real life.

Actor Yakub, who worked in the film industry for over 30 years and made nearly 300 movies and directed a few, had a small role in this film. He passed away after suffering a heart attack before the movie was released.

I am uploading all songs, some specials, and instrumentals in four back-to-back posts. A note on the song “Unn Ko”. This song appears three times in the film, in the beginning, in the middle, and in the end. The first time it appears as a recital in a mushaira and it deos not accompany any music. I am uploading all three parts and other great songs in the first post. The second post contains some version songs. The last two posts contain several instrumentals of the popular songs from the film.

Here are the songs in the first post…
