TRIBUTE TO SHANKAR JAIKISHAN–23–
SHAILENDRA•December 20, 2008
MOSTLY Shailendra’s songs were written on the philosophy of life. and when he died on 14th Dec 1966 (birthday of Raj Kapoor), the radio was playing …..”KE MAR KE BHI KISI KO YAADE AAYENGE, KISI KE AANSUON MEIN MUSKURAYENGE, KAHEGA PHOOL HAR KALI SE BAAR BAAR, JEENA ISEE KA NAAM HAI”…….AND RAJ SAAB WAS SO NERVOUS AND SAID ”’MERE TO SHABD HI KHO GAYE” AND AGAIN IN DESPERATION HE ASKED SHAILENDRA?””’YAAR TU NE KHUDA KE PAAS JAANE KE LIYE MERA JANMDIN HI CHUNA”’.
HOWEVER AS HAPPENS SEVERAL THINGS IN EVERY MAN’S LIFE, SO SHAILENDRA WAS NO EXCEPTION…..HE WAS DRINKING TOO MUCH, BESIDES BEING CHAIN SMOKER……ONE DAY EVENING, WHEN HE WAS ENTERING HIS HOME FULLY DRUNK, HIS LEGS COULDN’D STAND AND HE TOOK SUPPORT OF THE DOOR, AND…….THERE WERE LAUGHTERS FROM THE NEIGHBOUR’S HOUSE, HE SAW THERE AND ENTERED…..THEN HE WROTE IN A FILM……”’JUNGLE MEIN EK MOR NAACHA, KISI NE NA DEKHA, HAM JO THODI SI PEEKE ZARA JHUME, HAY RE SABNE DEKHA”’……EVERY SITUATION WAS A SONG FOR HIM……BIRTH, DEATH, LIFE, GHARIBI, AMIRI, MAUSAM, LOVE, FEELINGS, HAPPINESS, SADNESS, SHRINGAR, BEAUTY, HUNGER, THIRST AND ….SIMPLICITY OF LIFE, CLASSICAL, WESTERN:
: PL COME WITH ME::
”DIL KA HAAL SUNE DIL WALA, SIDHI SI BAAT NA MIRCH MASALA, KEHKE RAHEGA KAHNEWALA””(SIMPLICITY)…….LOST LOVE ””GALE LAGI SAHAM SAHAM, BHARE GALE SE BOLTI, VO TUM NA THI TO KAUN THA TUMHIN TO THIN, SAFAR KE WAKT MEIN PALAK PE MOTIYON KO TOULTI, VOH TUM NA THI TO KAUN THA, TUMHIN TO THIN…..SAARE BHED KHUL GAYE, RAAZDAAR NA RAHA, ZINDGI HAMEN TERA AITBAR NA RAHA, AITBAR NA RAHA”” (IMAGINE THE TEARS ON EYELID—-AND THAT IS –SAFAR KE WAKT MEIN PALAL PE MOTIYON KO TOULTI, VO TUM NA THIN TO KAUN THA….TUMHIN TO THIN…..(Here is th Poet Shailendra)
AS A SON HE HAD GREAT FAITH IN HIS MOTHER AND WHEN SHE LEFT LEAVING A YOUNGER SHAILENDRA, THIS PAIN REMAINED IN HIS HEART THROUGH OUT HIS LIFE AND HE BECAME A DISBELIEVER OF FAITH IN GOD…….HOWEVER IN FILMS UR SENTIMENTS ARE NOT VALUED, BUT WHEN TIME CAME, DESPITE HIS DISBELIEF, HE WROTE: ”DUNIYA NA BHAYE MOHE AB TO BULA LE CHARNO MEIN CHARNO MEIN TERE CHARNO MEIN”’
DURING DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AND EVEN NOT ON TALKING TERM HE HINTED S-J: CHHOTI SE YE DUNUYA PEHCHANE RAASTE HAIH, KAHIN TO MILOGE KABHI TO MILOGE, TO POOCHENGE HALL–(-LATER TAKEN IN RANGOLI)…..AND CHALLENGED HIS RAJ SAAB ”HAM BHI HAIN TUM BHI HO, DONO HAIN AAMNE SAAMNE…(WENT TO JIS DESH MEIN GANGA…)……HE WAS A FIGHTER POET, BEING INDIAN FOLLOWING KALR MARX. STRANGE.FEW EXAMPLES MORE FOR THE OLDIES AND GOLDIES:;”CHAKKE PE CHAKKA, CHAKKE PE GADI””RAAT KE HASAFAR, THAK KE GHAR KO CHALE”,”TERI YAAD DI SE BHULANE CHALA HUN”..LLKHON TARE AASMAN ME, EK MAGAR THUNDHE NA MILA.”’TERA MERA PYAAR AMAR PHIR KYUN MUJHKO LAGTA HAI DAR”’MEHTAB TERA CHEHRA, EH KHWAB MEIN DEKHA THA””DIL KI GIRAH KHOL DO CHUP NA BAITHO, KOI GEET GAAO” ”SAVERE WALI GADI SE CHALE JAYENGE” ”TUMHARI BHI JAI JAI HAMARI BHI JAI JAI” ”TUM BIN SAJAN BARSE NAYAN” ”KOI MATWALA AAYA MERE DWARE”’JEENA YEHAN MARNA YAHA AND MANY SONG OF TEESRI KASAM…AND HUNDREDS MORE .
IN 1963 RANJIT MOVIETONE PRODUCED ”BEHRUPIYA” WITH RAJ AND VYJAYANTIMALA. MUSIC DIRECTORS WERE S-J. THEY RECORDED A SONG IN MANNADA’S VOICE BY SHAILENDRA WHICH WAS””HANS KAR HANSA, RO KAR RULA”..BUT FILM FAILED TO BE RELEASED…..HOWEVER, IN 1983, PRODUCER SHADAB MADE A FILM NAMED ”FILM HI FILM” WITH THE PIECES OF FILMS WHICH WERE NEVER RELEASED…..IN THIS ”FILM HI FILM”, HE INCLUDED THAT SONG OF BAHURUPIYA……..to continue…….gshroti@in.com………

SHAILENDRA•December 14, 2008
Srigopal Shroti
ONE imp instance i am remembering on the ”punyatithi” Dec.14, of great poet/lyricist oF HINDI FILM MUSIC…….Previously i have mentioned that late Shailendra had the knowledge of customs of different regions….and this was well depicted in the SONG FROM ”SANGAM”—”HAR DIL JO PYAR KAREGA, VOH GAANA GAYEGA……..”……IN BETWEEN THE SONG, WHEN LATAJI’S TURN COMES TO SING AFTER THE BEAUTIFUL INTERLUDE OF VIOLINS……HERE SHAILENDRA WROTE……”AB KAH DOONGI, KARTE KARTE KITNE SAWAN BEET GAYE, JAANE KAB IN AAKHON KA SHARMANA JAYEGA”……DEEWANA SAIKADON MEIN PAHCHANA JAYEGA…….IN THE BEGINNING, I WAS CONFUSED, WHETHER IT WAS KAHTE KAHTE OR ”KARTE KARTE”, …..LATER WHEN DEEPER WE WENT, IT CAME TO KNOW THAT IN INDIA THE VIRGIN GIRLS KEEP FAST ON ”SAWAN” MONTH OF HINDI CALENDAR…..TO GET A GOOD HUSBAND….AND THIS WAS THE MICRO-SIGHT OF SHAILENDRAJI EXPRESSING THE THOUGHTS BEHIND ””JAANE KAB IN AAKHON KA SHARMANA JAYEGA””. GREAT………..HOW LIVELY IT FEELS.
SHAILENDRAJI WAS SO SIMPLE THAT HE DID NOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE COMPOSERS FOR WHOM HE WAS WRITING AND AMONG THEM WERE: SD BURMAN, ROSHAN, SALIL CHAUDHARY AND PERHAPS KALYANJI ANANDJI…..AND DID JUSTICE TO THE SONGS COMPOSED BY THEM…..BUT FOR HIMSELF……HE THOUGHT ”BAHUT DIYA DENE WAALE NE TUJHKO, AANCHAL HI NA SAMAYE TO KYA KEEJAI”’…..
BECAUSE OF SHAILENDRA’S PRESENCE, THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE WAS INFLUENCED BY HIS THINKING…..EVERYBODY WAS SERIOUS……”WHAT THE POET BRINGS OUT OF HIM”’…..RAJ SAAB HIMSELF CONFESSED THAT SHAILENDRA PLAYED A GREAT ROLE TO MAKE R.K. AN HISTORICAL CAMP………SHAILENDRA HAD REFLECTIONS IN HIS WORDINGS AND BY LISTENING THE SONG, WHOLE SCENE SPREAD OUT BEFORE UR EYES….e.g. ”’NEEL GAGAN KI CHHAON MEIN DIN RAIN GALE SE MILTE HAIN, MAN PANCHHI BAN UD JAATA HAI, HAM KHOYE KHOYE RAHTE HAIN”’……AMOMG THOUSAND PEARLS, A FEW ARE FOR U TO HUM:
”MAIN NADIYA PHIR BHI MAIN PYAASI, BHED YE GEHRA BAAT ZARA SEE”,…..”O JAANE WAALE HO SAKE TO LAUT KE AANA”’……”YAAD NA JAAYE BEETE DINO KI..”’…..”RUK JAA RAAT THAHR JAA RE CHANDA”…….”MAN RE TU HI BATA KYA GAUN”….”NAACHE MAN MORA MAGAN TIK DA DHIGI DHIGI”’….”BAHAR BANKE VO MUSKARAYE HAMARE GULSHAN MEIN”….”RAADHIKE TUNE BANSURI CHURAI”…..”AAJA AAI BAHAR, DIL HAI BEQRAR..””….”KAANTON SE KHEENCH KE YE AANCHAL”….”JAO RE JOGI TUM JAO RE”……..more to follow……gshroti@in.com…………
