(Javed Akhtar) Haathi Mere Saathi (1971)

The producer of this film, Devar from Tamilnadu, was famous for making films with animals in the central lead. He made many successful films almost all on similar story lines. When he approached Rajesh Khanna to star in his film, Khanna asked for huge fees. When Devar agreed, Khanna insisted that he would like to have a new team to write the screenplay. Devar also agreed to this request. Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar were pursuing separate careers until this film. They were brought together at Rajesh Khanna's request to team up and come up with a screenplay based on the Tamil story which already proved to be a popular film. This was the first for the team with many hits to follow in the course of time.

Here are the songs from this film...

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Hulchul (1951)

This movie was directed by K. Asif (who later produced and directed the magnum-opus “Mughal-E-Azam” in 1960). While the shooting was going on, Balraj Sahni, who had a pivotal role in the film, was arrested by the Government of India for his activities associated with IPTA (Indian Peoples’ Theatre Association). Sahniji was one of the founding members of the Association. Some of the other members of the Association included names like K.A. Abbas, Kaifi Azmi, Salil Chowdhury, Utpal Dutt, Ritwik Ghatak, Prithviraj Kapoor, Sahir Ludhianvi, Majrooh Sultanpuri, and others.

Asif Saab has to take special permission from the Government to have Sahniji released to continue the shooting of the film. Police used to escort him to the studio and stay on the set while he discharged his duties as an actor. They would later take him back to the jail each day. However, Balrajji was soon released from jail as the Government decided not to prosecute any of the members of the IPTA.

The song writer Hasrat Jaipuri Saab did not write any songs for the film. However, he wrote its screenplay. Songs for the film were composed by two music directors, Sajjad Hussain and Mohd. Shafi. I am uploading songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set…

(Javed Akhtar) Seeta Aur Geeta (1972)

Even though the story of the film is credited to Salim & Javed, the movie was a copy of "Ram Aur Shyam (1967)" with the role reversal where Hema played the dual role. But "Ram" itself was a remake of the Telugu hit "Ramudu Bheemudu (1964)".

Ramesh Sippy, who directed the movie, later of "Sholay" fame, in an interview observed the difficult time he had during shooting the movie with both male leads in the movie, Dharmendra and Sanjeev Kumar, in real life competing for Hema's affections. He also recalled how Hema was frightened to shoot the scene where she has to sit on the ceiling fan. Hema did win a Filmfare award for her performance as twin sisters.

There are several nice songs in this film. My favorite is the duet of Asha and Kishoreda, "Hawa ke Saath Saath". Here is this and other songs from this film from an original soundtrack album...

(Majrooh) Aag (1948)

The following write up appeared in one of my earlier postings...

Young Raj Kapoor’s burning desire was to make his own movies. Unsatisfied with the few movies he worked for, he launched his first production in early 1947, aptly titled “Aag”. He sold everything he owned to raise the money. He even borrowed some from his servant who used to work at his house. Besides acting in it he co-wrote the story, wrote its screenplay, and also directed it.

The story dealt with a complex emotional triangle and comprised of three leading ladies; Nargis, Kamini Kaushal, and Nigar Sultana. The movie was restrained by smallness of its scale. Sets were modest. But camera was used chiefly for high-contrast lighting that proved to be brilliant for the movie.

Raj also introduced his wife’s brother, Prem Nath in the movie in a pivotal role. His younger brother Shashi played younger Raj. His father recommended signing Shankar & Jaikishan (who were working for Prithvi Theatres) as music directors but Raj already signed Ram Ganguly. Both Shankar & Jaikishan (uncredited) as well as Dattaram were assistants to Ganguly in this movie.

During its production, India became independent from the British rule. Raj was able to complete the movie within a year, by early 1948. The movie was ready for screening, but Raj couldn’t find any distributors to release his film. Undeterred Raj went ahead and released the movie himself. The movie was a commercial failure. However, Raj’s charged story treatment, its fine shot compositions and deft handling of the camera movements, and the beautiful music had secured many rarified reviews.

The movie may not have worked but Raj has arrived. He recruited a youthful team. He established his own R.K. Films banner. The movie world took notice that the fiery Raj who had shown sparks of brilliance with his “Aag” is about to set the world on fire with several socially conscientious movies in years to come.

I am uploading the songs in two back-to-back posts. Incidentally, Majrooh Saab wrote only one song for the film. Here is the first set…

(Anand Bakshi) Miss Toofan Mail (1958)

Robin Banerjee composed songs for this album. Anand Bakshi Saab supposedly wrote lyrics for one or more songs for this film. Unfortunately I don't have a single song to share with you. I am requesting the Forum members to share any songs they may have from this film. Thank you...

(Hasrat) Kali Ghata (1951)

Kishore Sahu was looking for two new women to act in this film. In a widely held contest the winners were Asha Mathur and Bina Rai. Bina Rai was introduced as the heroine in the film with Mathur in a significant supporting role. Mathur couldn't do much as an actress. She acted in only 10 films. Bina Rai had better luck even though never soared to the heights of her contemporaries like Nargis or Madhubala.

Here are the songs from this fine album composed by Shankar & Jaikishan...

(Javed Akhtar) Yaadon ki Baaraat (1973)

Most of the following write up appeared in one of my earlier postings...

Here is a beautiful musical from RD. Kishoreda has some lovely numbers in it. But to me the standout song, one of my all-time favorite songs, is the duet by Asha & Rafi Saab, the beautiful "Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko". I was attending one of Ashaji's concerts where she told the audience how this song evolved. RD was thinking about it for some time and suddenly he knew what to do. He had Asha accompany him to bazaar to buy some wine glasses. They returned to the studio and RD created this tune using clinking of the wine glass with a spoon and had Asha and Rafiji sing the song to its accompaniment.

Nasir Hussain, who directed this movie, originally wanted Asha Parekh, his favorite star, to play the leading lady. But Asha was readying herself to go on a tour abroad with her dancing troupe and was not immediately available. Zeenat readily accepted when the role was offered to her.

One of the delightful music pieces is the long number performed by the trio Asha, Kishore and RD, "Aap Ke Kamre Mein Koi Rehta Hai". In spite of its length, the song entertains. The title song also was a hugely popular number.

Neetu Singh, who started as a child star, was promoted to adult roles the previous year in 1972. The film she starred that year, “Rikshawala”, flopped. Producers were shying away to offer her any more adult roles. When producer and director Nasir Hussain approached her to be in a dance number in this film, she readily accepted it. The hit song “Lekar Hum” was picturized on her. Her eye catching dress and eye popping dance moves got immediate attention. This dance number gave her career an immediate boost and revived her career for good.

That is Aamir Khan, current day’s hot star, playing the role of the youngest brother in the film when they were all children. This was his debut movie. Nearly 17 years later, he made the debut as an adult in his uncle Nasir Hussain’s “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1989)” which was a super hit and immediately established him as a star to look forward to in the future.

This movie was made into several other languages, notably in the South. All of them were hits.

I am uploading songs from this film in three back-to-back posts. The first post contains all songs from the film. The second post contains several specials. The third post contains some instrumentals.

(Javed Akhtar) Zanjeer (1973)

Most of the following write up appeared in one of my earlier postings of this movie...

This is the movie Amitabh was patiently waiting to happen. After his stunning award winning debut in 1969 with Abbas's "Saat Hindustani" and even after some good roles like Hrishida's masterpiece "Anand" in 1971, Amitabh was still down on his luck as a struggling actor and was desperately trying to find his niche. Then "Zanjeer" happened. The role originally offered to the debonair Dev Anand was offered to Amitabh when Dev turned down because there were no songs for the hero!

In a way "Zanjeer" is an out and out a great cop movie that redefined a Hindi film hero, the one who fights back for the justice, the one who is brooding and angry. In a nutshell an "Angry Young Man" was born. However, unfortunately the movie also brought on an abrupt end to good romantic films which were elevated to some what of a higher status with series of hits by the Superstar Rajesh Khanna. Now the films became solely action oriented. Movies in which women with good roles just about disappeared.

"Zanjeer" was a well conceived and well directed taut thriller with a superb performance by Amitabh and an equally endearing performance by Pran. The movie took away several Filmfare awards. The writing team of Salim & Javed were awarded for the Best Story and the Best Screenplay. Mahadik walked as the Best Editor for his crisp editing that kept the movie's suspense at a taut pace. Finally, Gulshan Bawra won for the Best Lyrics for that great Manna's song "Yaari Hai Imaan Mera". All well deserving awards.

Now for a description of the songs from an original soundtrack album and the songs themselves ...
