TRIBUTE TO SHANKAR JAIKISHAN–30
HUSNLAL BHAGATRAM
SOMETHINGS HAPPEN IN LIFE DIFFERENTLY……FOR EXAMPLE, AS SHANKAR WAS A GOOD DANCER, HE DANCED WITH ‘DHOLAK’, IN ”PYAR KI JEET”, FOR WHICH , STORY, SCREENPLAY, DIALOGUES AND FEW SONGS WERE WRITTEN BY SONG WRITER, RAJENDRA KRISHAN, UNDER THE BANNER OF FAMOUS PICTURES….. AND THE MUSIC DIRECTORS WERE THE THEN FIRST PAIR OF HINDI FILM MUSIC, HUSNLAL BHAGATRAM, AND INCIDENTALLY BOTH WERE BROTHERS TO JOIN THE FILM INDUSTRY……HUSNLAL WAS A GOOD VIOLINIST AND BHAGATRAM WAS A HARMONIUM MASTER……WHEN THEY WERE ASSIGNED THE FILM ”PYAR KI JEET”, SHANKAR WAS THEIR ASSISTANT AND PLAYED ON DHOLAK AND TABLA AND BEING A DANCER HIMSELF. DANCED IN THE FILM AS STATED ABOVE……
…SHANKAR BESIDES DANCING HAD A GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF MUSIC AND WAS INTERESTED TO PLAY DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS…….AND LATER AS A MUSIC DIRECTOR WITH JAIKISHAN, HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON, MAKING TUNES ON SITAR AND PIANO & SHAILENDRA WAS MASTER WRITING SONGS ON HEARING BOTH THE INSTRUMENTS…..THIS WAS A GOD GIFT TO SHAILENDRA……
….IT IS THE DESTINY, THAT SHANKAR MADE PAIR WITH JAIKISHAN AND BOTH WITH A BRILLIANT MIND, WENT ON TO BECOME THE MOST SUCCESSFUL OF MUSIC DIRECTORS, AND HUSNAL BHAGATRAM, WENT INTO OBLIVION WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME….
…HUSNLAL’S FATHER-IN-LAW WAS A WELL ESTABLISHED PERSON AND SUPPORTED HIS SON-IN-LAW, AFTER BEING FAILURE AS MUSIC DIRECTOR, WITH BHAGATRAM…..AND THEN HUSNLAL TOOK TO PLAY VIOLIN….AND BHAGATRAM…..SORRY TO SAY….BEING ALONE , STARTED TO PLAY HARMONIUM UNDER THE DIRECTION OF HIS DISCIPLE, NONE OTHER THAN SHANKAR, WHO ONCE PLAYED DHOLAK AND TABLA UNDER HIS DIRECTION………WHAT WUD U CALL IT….DESTINY?…………to continue…….gshroti@in.com……………
