TRIBUTE TO SHANKAR JAIKISHAN by Shrigopal Shroti (Courtesy weblog : http://gopalshroti.wordpress.com


THE above movie depicts the passionate love between Shammi Kapoor and Nutan…..the heart-throb of 60s and still the inspiration to young lovers with the unforgettable songs composed by Shankar Jaikishan and written by Shailendra and Hasrat, as usual. a great team of actors, composers and lyricists. the songs are still humming in the magical and youthful atmosphere of Himachal Pradesh, where the film was shot., gardens, hills, greeneries and the tunes of S-J, ALL MADE THE FILM A UNIQUE VERSION OF BEAUTY AND LOVE. PL LISTEN:
”YEH MELA DO GHADI KA, DO DINON KI HAI BAHAR, SAMAY KI BEHTI DHAR KARTI JATI HAI PUKAR….PUKAAR……….MEHMAN KAB RUKE HAIN KAISE ROKE JAYENGE………SAVERE WALI…….SAVERE WALI GADI SE CHALE JAYENGE”.
THE hero is a rebel worker, and who is in search of a lover who can make his dreams come true, then follows the first song of the film, a hit tune:
”jaane mera dil kise dhund raha hai in hari bhari wadiyon mein, kabhi na kabhi to takrayega dil, dil se inhi aabadiyon mein.”…………..then he finds his ‘dil ki malika’ ….and says:
”uske kaajal bina nain kale, aur kajal laga le to kya ho, uske haathon mein surkhi chaman ki, aur mehandi laga le to kya ho.”……..Shammi and Nutan comes in terms and u will listen another hit S-J tune:
‘’sab khwab sa lagta hai, is raat mein jaadu hai, khamosh nazaron ki har baat mein jaadu hai, ham hain ke bandhe hain dil se, dil hai ke uda jaye, ek baat hai hoton pe kah loon to qrar aaye, ek bojh to hat jaaye…….AI CHAND ZARA CHHUP JAA, AI WAKT ZARA RUK JAA……”
NUTAN is also helpless before Shammi’s imploring and……
”tan mein agni man mein jalan, kaanp utha mera bheega badan, o rabba khair…..’
And the ROMANTICISM OF YOUTH GOES TO NEW HEIGHTS WITH THE VIBRANT AND HILLARIOUS TUNES…….HERE THE DUO IS SUCCESSFUL IN DELINEATING THE BEAUTY AND THE FEELINGS OF A YOUNG COUPLE AND THE SPREADS OF HIMACHAL PRADESH (in hari bhari wadiyon mein)…………to continue……..gshroti@in.com………….
