(Javed Akhtar) Joshilaay (1989)

Here are the songs from this album...

(Majrooh) Heer (1956)

With the unprecedented success of “Anarkali” in 1953, there was a spate of films telling or retelling of legendary tragic romantic tales. The very same year 1953 saw the tale of “Laila Majnu” with Nutan and the newcomer Shammi Kapoor (he made his debut with “Thokar” the same year). “Sohni Mahiwal” with Nimmi will come later in 1958. This film with Nutan from “Laila Majnu” and Pradeep Kumar from “Anarkali” tells the tragic tale of Heer & Ranjha.

The distinguishing feature of this film was its fine music composed by Anil Biswas. It has tons of songs that are beautiful to listen to. Majrooh Saab wrote lyrics for a majority of then. Two songs were written by Rajinder Krishanji.

I am uploading songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…

(Javed Akhtar) Main Azaad Hoon (1989)

Unfortunately this is one of those lesser known works of Amitabh. It came at a time when his fortunes were down and audience paid little attention to it. In spite of a brilliant performance by Amitabh who was ably supported by Shabana, the movie was a box-office failure.

Tinnu Anand, who earlier made "Kaalia (1981)" and "Shahensha (1988)" with Amitabh, directed this film. It so happens that this movie, even though it was a very good one, was not an original. It was almost a direct lift from Frank Capra's unforgettable classic, the 1941 Hollywood film, "Meet John Doe". That starred Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck whose roles were respectively reprised by Amitabh and Shabana in Hindi. I think performances of the principal actors were far better in Hindi than their English counterparts.

Shabana’s spouse Javed Akhtar Saab took the credit as the writer. Her father Kaifi Azmi Saab wrote the lyrics.

There is only one song in this film, parts of which appear through the entire length of the movie. The song written by Kaifi Azmi Saab was sung by Amitabh himself. I am uploading this song, all five parts of it, and several music clips ripped from a DVD.

Here are these...

(Majrooh) Ham Sab Chor Hain (1956)

Shammi Kapoor was just a year away from stardom but this fun movie from Filmistan was one of his early successes. This was thanks to the story and deft direction of I.S. Johar who also had a major role in the film. The movie’s success also was helped by the hit music of OP. Here he teamed once again with Majrooh Saab and came up with several catchy tunes.

Ameeta had a supporting role to Nalini Jaywant who was the leading lady in the film. She, Shammi, OP and Majrooh Saab will team up again in 1957 for “Tumsa Nahin Dekha” for the blockbuster from Filmistan that will establish once for all Shammi as a bankable star and recognizable hero.

Here are the songs from this fine album...

(Rajinder Krishan) Jhamela (1953)

The team that gave “Albela” in 1951, Geeta Bali, Bhagwan, C. Ramchandra & Rajinder Krishan were back together again for this movie. The comedian-actor Bhagwan once again wrote its story, acted in it, produced and directed the film. However the film failed to capture the same magic. Even the songs of the film turned out to be average except for a couple of solos of Lataji. Especially the song “Kaahe Naina Lade” is worth mentioning. Here is this and other songs from this album (except for the missing song, shown in red italics in the table below; please share if you can.. Thanks.)…
