(Rajinder Krishan) Shaadi (1962)

This was Saira Banu’s second movie. This followed her blockbuster from previous year, “Junglee”. Unfortunately the movie was a big disappointment. It had a dull, drab, and hackneyed plot with one dimensional caricature people. The only saving grace for the film was its music. Most of the songs are fair to good. I am uploading these in the following post…

(Shailendra) Sangeet Samrat Tansen (1962)

This film probably was the greatest achievement of the classical music maestro S.N. Tripathiji (his photo attached below). He composed music for nearly 100 films, yet he never got his due for the songs he composed. This was mainly because almost all of his movies were either mythologies or a few were fantasies. These movies were considered to be B grade and he remained throughout his career as a B-movie music director.

Tripathiji’s career spanned over fifty years in the film industry. After assisting several music directors of the early film industry, he made his debut as an independent music director with 1942 “Chandan”. He was a multifaceted individual who also acted in 54 films (he was famous for portraying the role of Hanuman in many films), directed 17, wrote stories for another 7. He expertly mixed classical ragas with sounds of mandolin, shehnai, and violin that appealed to several followers of his music. Many music experts believe that as far as the classical music understanding goes he probably was in par with Naushadji and Vasant Desai Saab.

All songs from this film are simply gems. It is much to his credit of music sense, for example, the song “Raag Bhairav” consists of six separate raagas. I am ignorant of what these ragas are but I read some place that the ragas in this song are Bhairav, Malkauns, Hindol, Shree, Deepak, and Megh Malhaar. Mannada mentions these as he sang the song.

It appears that I may be missing three songs shown in red italics in the table given in the second post. I am requesting members to share these if they can. Thanks.

(Anand Bakshi) Banphool (1971)

This film was directed by Vijay Bhatt who made himself a lasting name with that brilliant musical “Baiju Bawra” in 1952. Unfortunately there was nothing novel in the story, screenplay or proceedings of this film. Its story has been told so many times in the movies that one can easily guess what is going to happen next. That predictability and lack of any novelty kills the joy of watching it.

An elephant has a starring role in this film. Interestingly, this very same year Rajesh Khanna’s hit film “Haathi Mere Saathi” was released few months earlier. Not only an elephant had a major role in that film, but also its music was composed by LP and lyrics were written by Bakshi Saab. However the comparisons end there.

This was the second film that year Jeetendra was able to withstand Rajesh Khanna’s tidal wave. The other hit film Jeetendra had was Nasir Hussain’s “Caravan”.

Per press reports this movie held on its own in spite of all the odds that were stacked against it. One song in particular, “Aahen Na Bhar”, became such a smashing hit that many pundits believe it helped the movie to enjoy its modest success.

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Ji Chahta Hai (1964)

This movie starts with a child marriage and the next few minutes will tell you what is going to happen in the rest of the film. It is simply mediocre. Mukeshji’s solo “Hum Chhod Chale” stands out among the drab, dull, and incoherent proceedings. I am uploading this and other songs from this film in two back-to-back posts.
