Joru Ka Bhai (1955)

Jaidevji (see his attached picture below), who was trained by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, and who worked as an assistant to the music director S.D. Burman, got his chance to be an independent music director with this film. He composed music for less than 40 films but left an indelible impression amongst the music lovers. He won the National Award for Best Music three times (“Reshma aur Shera” in 1972, “Gaman” in 1979, and “Ankahee” in 1985). He also won the Sur Singar Samsad Award four times. An incredible achievement anyway you look at it.

The songs from this film vary from poignant to funny. Both “Surmai” songs, one by Lata with full of emotion, and the other by Talat with his touch of Pathos are simply unforgettable. I am uploading these and others below…
