TRIBUTES TO SHANKAR JAIKISHAN
VITTHAL BHAI PATEL.•
TUM MUJHE YOUN BHULA NA PAOGE…………..IT was certainly a bad for all music lovers in general and S-J fans in particular……on the demise of Shankarji, all the ‘’swaras” of SAPTAK have gone out of ‘’sur”……they are also reluctant to come out of throat to create a new ”MUKHADA”……..”ONCE UPON A TIME DURING 50s, the then musicians were called ”BAJA PETI MASTER”…… SHANKER JAIKISHAN WELL TRIED TO GIVE THE HINDI FILM ITS DUE RESPECT……BUT ON THEIR TALENT, THEY GOT THE TOP OF THE POPS AND AQUIRED DUE CREDIT TO THEIR MUSIC BUT ALSO THEY BECAME THE HIGHEST PAID MUSIC DIRECTORS…….IT WERE ONLY THEY WHO STARTED THE TREND OF USING 100 PIECE ORCHASTRATION WITH RHYTHM AND MELODY HAVING GOT THEIR BEAUTIFUL SYNCHRONISATION WITH EACH INSTRUMENT INDEPENDENTLY, AND THE SONGS BECAME HITS…….THEIR CREDIT HAD THE ESSENTIALITY OF FILM’S SUCCESS….AND THE FILMS CELEBRATED SILVER JUBILEES ON THE BASIS OF THEIR SONGS.
STARTING FROM PRITHVI THEATRE THE S-J’S MUSIC FLAG FLEW ALL OVER THE WORLD……THEY CREATED A PAIR OF THEMSELVES WHICH WAS LATER FOLLOWED THE OTHER MUSIC DIRECTORS e.g. KALYANJI ANANDJI, SAPAN JAGMOHAN, LAXMI-PYARE…….IT WAS NOT COINCIDENCE THAT THE TUNES MADE BY S-J FOR THEIR FILMS AND WHAT THEY STARTED AS S-J MUSIC, THE LATER COMPOSERS WERE VERY MUCH AFFECTED BY THE ORCHASTRATION AND TUNINGS SIMILAR TO THE S-J’s WHICH WAS EVIDENT IN THEIR FIRST FEW SONGS……BUT THEIR WAS NO RIVALRY, AND OTHER COMPOSERS SOON MADE THEIR OWN WAY.
JAIKISHAN WAS A CHARMING AND VERY FRIENDLY WITH OTHERS WHOM HE MET, BUT SHANKAR KEPT HIMSELF RESERVED, AND EGOIST FOR FEW…..BUT THAT DOES NOT SEEM FROM THE MUSIC HE RENDERED…..IT MAY BE PEOPLE’S MISCONCEPTION.
PATELJI WRITES THAT HE WAS A LITTLE BIT SCARED THE WITH SO FAMOUS,AND HIS FAVOURITS MUSIC DIRECTOR, HOW HE WILL DEAL WITH AND WRITE SONGS FOR HIM. BUT WHEN HE MET SHANKAR, HIS FEAR WENT AWAY AND FOR ”SANYASI” HE WROTE ”BALI UMARIA BHAJAB KARUN KAISE”……SHANKER ALSO PROMOTED SUMAN KALYANPUR, NEERAJ, VERMA MALIK, PT.VISHWESHWAR SHARMA AND PATELJI HIMSELF…..THE DUO IN THE BEGINNING ITSEF PROVED THAT ANY FILM CAN CELEBRATE SILVER JUBILEE ONLY ON THE BASIS OF THEIR COMPOSITIONS….HE ALSO RECORDED ONE SONG OF PATELJI FOR ‘DO JHOOTH”……HIS HUMBLE HOMAGE:
”KAL HAM JAHAN MEIN RAHENGE NANIN,
YAADEN HAMARI RAHENGI YAHIN.”’
