Tribute Series by Srigopal Shroti
a very polular song was already recorded by Jaikishan…because sometimes, when the tune was ready, he will ask Hasrat or Shailendra to write down the lyric…because in their heyday, i read that Jai used to make 20 to 30 tunes daily morning….and then selected 4 or 5 topper out of them. so in the same vein he recorded the beautiful song…..he was showing that song to Rajendra Kumar for his next film….hearing the song Rajendra Kumar did not like the song and asked Jai to compose other one. …As Rajendra Kumar went, Jaikishan was also ready to leave the studio…in the meantime Shammi Kapoor also came and met Jaikishan usually…Then Jaikishan in a dejected mood told Shammi Kapoor that in his life, for the first time his song was rejected…..Hearing this, Shammi asked Jai to let him listen the song….Jai went to his car and played the song and after hearing SHAMMI jumped loudly….’this is my song…thanks he has not taken it.”’…..Jai told in a normal way…u take it and he is sure that it will be a hit number……Shammi used it in Brahmchari and guess what was the song…….yes…;;AAJKAL TERE MERE PYAR KE CHARCHE HAR ZUBAN PAR, SABKO MALOOM HAI AUR SABKO KHABAR HO HAI”’….A MD cannot be wrong and no doubt, S-J MADE SOME SUBSTANDARD TUNES FOR CO-STARS MIXED WITH THE TOPS…AND AS RDB SAID ”SHANKAR JAIKISHAN WILL TELL ABOUT THEIR SONGS, WHICH WILL GO FOR HIT AND WHICH WILL BE LOWER”’, but well hummable….Such was Shammi’s enthusiasm and chemistry with SHANKAR JAIKISHAN.
ANOTHER incident i wud like to narrate…..the film ”PAGLA KAHIN KA” was in the making and their was a jail scene for which the set was ready and shooting was going on….somebody remembering David in BOOT POLISH, suggested that there shd be a song in the jail premises sung by the prisoners(half and full mad)…..Shammi was in the leading role. He immediately rang Jaikishan ”mujhe yeh gaana kal hee chahiye”…Jaikishan rang Hasrat Saab and fixed for next morning sitting and Shammi was duly informed…Next day all three sat….and looking out at the situation, Jai on the hand composed and Hasrat give words…ultimately the sond recorded was ”MERI BHAINS KO DANDA KYUN MAARA”….AND WITH time this became proverbial sentence in colloquial language…a humorous number.WHAT WAS THE BEST TUNE CREATED IN MINUTES…BY THE GENIUS MD….Shammi had no bounds to entrall and express his gratitude to his friend……….to continue….gshroti@gmail.com
