Shair Aur Sargam, Songs From Movies of 7 Great Lyricists Options

[swarapriya]

(Shailendra) Mayur Pankh (1954)

This is the second film that Kishore Sahu made in the year 1952 (the other was ‘Hamlet”). He wrote the story, screenplay, dialogues, produced, directed, and acted as the leading man of the film. He made this in colour, a rarity in early 50’s (Mehboob Khan’s “Aan” was another one that was released in 1952.) In this film also, like his “Hamlet”, one can clearly see the influence of western films on Kishore Sahu. Even though Sumitra Devi had the top billing, she does not enter into the movie until nearly half the film is over. Even Sahu himself appears after nearly a quarter of the movie. It was out and out Odette Fergusson’s film. The movie starts with Fergusson’s character getting off the plane coming to India. It ends when she was leaving India to go back to Britain. Fergusson was a British actress. Incidentally all English characters speak Hindi in the film. That too not with any forced accent.

There are some catchy tunes in the film. Shankar & Jaikishan composed the music. Lata has five solos and a duet with Asha. Incidentally the initial words of the song “Tandaana” are borrowed from Telugu. In certain type of folk songs, called “Burra Katha”, this word is used at the end each mukhda. Shankar clearly has a say in this song. He was raised in Hyderabad and on many occasions created rhythms for the songs using such catchy words from Andhra Pradesh.

Here is this and other songs from this film…
