Tribute to Rajendra Kumar

by

Jitendra Motavar

11 years of close and highly successful association, 14 musical films, 58 evergreen and popular songs, with majority of them being immortal creations, 3 Filmfare Award nominations for best actor and one for the best supporting actor..

Such was the fertile and high-yielding association between Rajendra "Jubilee" Kumar and the maestros Shankar Jaikishan. It's impossible to imagine his career without those magical melodies under SJ baton.

SJ predominantly and successfully used Mohammed Rafi as Mr Kumar's playback to give him the best of his romantic image. Although, they deployed Mukesh and Subir Sen in the first two films of their association, "Aas Ka Panchhi" and "Sasural". Mahendra Kapoor's playback was used in the iconic "Har dil jo pyar karega", probably because of the 'then Lata-Rafi contention' and that too gave a great result.

Today, on his 94th birth anniversary, I chose this excellent SJ-Mukesh solo from 1961's "Aas Ka Panchhi", 'Apni bhi kya zindagi hai nirali', written by Shailendra.

It's a fast paced sad song with an intoxicating composition and some extraordinary orchestration by Shankar Jaikishan. Mukesh starts the song with a prologue that instantly reminds us that of "Ye mera diwanapan hai". The mukhda and antra tunes sound highly alluring on a fast paced vibrant rhythm. To compose sad songs with a fast western rhythm has always been a mastery of SJ, and this song is a reflection of the same. Both the interludes have some fantastic themes on guitar, violins and accordion, which make us hum them, when we listen the song. The song ends with a postlude where accordion plays the main mukhda melody in a fading way..

Enjoy this masterwork by the maestros..!

The brief but magical association of KISHORE KUMAR & SHANKAR-JAIKISHEN…

Feature courtesy

https://myviewsonbollywood.wordpress.com/2018/06/12/the-brief-but-magical-association-of-kishore-kumar-shankar-jaikishen/

By

Sharada Iyer

The very mention of their names immediately brings to our mind the evergreen super-hit song ‘Zindagi ek safar hai suhana…’ from the film ANDAZ. From the opening prelude to the yodelling to the fast-paced beats – everything about the song became unforgettable! Added to that superstar Rajesh Khanna’s charismatic screen presence turned this song not only into one of the most loved songs of Hindi cinema but also became one of the biggest hits of the careers of  Rajesh Khanna, Kishore Kumar and Shankar-Jaikishen.

ANDAZ (1971): ‘Zindagi ek safar hai suhana…’

Shankar-Jaikishen (SJ): The music director duo who revolutionized the very definition of Hindi film music with their path-breaking music and tunes…

Kishore Kumar: The genius actor-singer who created his own path and carved a place in the Hindi film music scene which people cannot even dream of achieving…  

Both the singer as well as the music director duo reached dizzying heights of popularity during the years they were active. And yet when we look back it is sad that three of the most loved and cherished musical geniuses of our industry hardly got much opportunity to work together during their long and illustrious careers …

Interestingly they even made their debut around the same time –

Shankar-Jaikishen’s debut film as independent music directors was R K Films’ Barsaat which released in 1949…

Kishore Kumar’s debut film as an actor and a playback singer (sang for Dev Anand) was Ziddi which released in 1948…

Shankar Jaikishen somehow always worked with heroes like Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, Rajendra Kumar, Dilip Kumar, Biswajit, Joy Mukjerjee, Shashi Kapoor, Sunil Dutt for whom Kishore Kumar never got the opportunity to playback. When they worked for Dev Anand they used Mohammed Rafi except for one instance-‘Dooriyan nazdeekiyan ban gayee…’ a Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhonsle duet that turned out to be the biggest hit of the film:

DUNIYA (1968): ‘Dooriyan nazdeekiyan ban gayi…’

It was around the late forties that the triumvirate of Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand and Dilip Kumar entered the industry, became great stars creating a special niche for themselves and also had their own favourite playback singers singing for them. While Rafi became the voice of Dilip Kumar with Talat Mehmood also contributing in some songs, Mukesh was the voice of Raj Kapoor with Manna Dey singing for him at times. In case of Dev Anand, both Rafi and Kishore Kumar’s voices were used.and hence Kishore Kumar between 1948 and 1968 sang only for himself when he acted or did playback for Dev Anand.

NEW DELHI, KROREPATI, BEGUNAAH, RANGOLI and SHARARAT are the five films for which Shankar-Jaikishen worked with Kishore Kumar where he acted and sang his own songs and what beautiful music they created:

Here is a gem from the 1962 film RANGOLI. What an absolutely haunting song- simple, hummable and so melodious

RANGOLI (1962): ‘Choti si yeh duniya pehchaane raaste hain…’

Interestingly both the above song and ‘Zindagi ek safar…’ from ANDAZ had other singers singing their version but really do people even remember that? For when Kishore Kumar sings, such is the magic and resonance in his voice that the other versions pale in comparison.

A fun-filled Kishore-Lata duet-‘Ik nazar kisine dekha aur ban gaya afsana…’

A soulful solo-‘Rangoli sajaao re…’

Listen to this superb song from NEW DELHI. The simple orchestration, the yodelling, the subtle variations in the song all go to make this a masterpiece!

NEW DELHI (1956): ‘Nakhrewaali…’

NEW DELHI (1956): ‘Milte hi nazr aap mere dil mein aa gaye…’

While Kishore Kumar enjoyed immense popularity as an actor-singer during the fifties and early sixties, he had to undergo a long period of struggle to be considered as a playback singer for other heroes. In fact there are rare instances when other singers like Mohammed Rafi and Manna Dey sang for him.

SHARARAT (1957): ‘Hum matwaale naujawan…’

After giving him such a wonderful solo, wonder why did Shankar-Jaikishen settle for Rafi to sing ‘Ajab hai dastaan meri yeh zindagi…’!!! What made them think that Kishore would not have delivered that song brilliantly in his own way?

SHARARAT (1959)

BEZUBAAN (1957)

Only audio of this song is available

To achieve his dream of becoming a playback singer, Kishore Kumar had to become an actor and act for almost 20 years before giving up acting to become full-fledged singer. This phase coincided with the coming of a new star Rajesh Khanna in the horizon and Kishore Kumar became a voice to reckon with for all the actors after 1968.

In 1968 Shankar-Jaikishen gave music in the Dharmendra-Hema Malini starrer TUM HASEEN MAIN JAWAAN. Kishore Kumar got to sing only one song and that too a comical one in the film- ‘Munne ki amma yeh to bata…’. The song did become popular with the masses:

THE FATEFUL YEAR OF 1971:

This year was important for this combination in more ways than one. Not only did they team up to give several super-hits unfortunately, it was also the last year they worked as a team together  for Jaikishen from the duo passed away due to cirrhosis of liver.

Apart from the blockbuster song ‘Zindagi ek safar hai suhana…’, the Kishore-SJ combo gave us some of these superb songs also in 1971 :

SOLOS:

LAL PATTHAR (1971): ‘Geet gaata hoon main…’

KAL AAJ AUR KAL (1971) : ‘Bhanware ki gunjan…’

DUETS:

KAL AAJ aur KAL: ‘Aap yahan aaye kisliye…’

This film which launched Raj Kapoor’s son Randhir Kapoor had superb music by Shankar Jaikishen and Kishore Kumar became Randhir’s voice and all songs were super-hit. There were two more lovely duets in the film- ‘Tik tik tik tik…,’ ‘Jab hum honge saath saal ke…’

NAGINA: ‘Tere mere pyar ka andaz hai nirala…’

MAIN SUNDAR HOON: ‘Mujhko thand lag rahi hai mujhse door tu naja…’

The song ‘Naach meri jaan…’ from the same film had Kishore Kumar and Jaikishen making a brief appearance at the beginning of the song…

SEEMA: ‘Waqt thoda sa abhi kuch aur guzar jaane de…’

First in 1966, lyricist Shailendra passed away. On Septemnber 12, 1971, Jaikishen passed away. The team of SJ was hit very badly. Though Shankar did try to keep the flag flying by continuing to compose under the name of Shankar-Jaikishen as per their agreement, but the magic had started fading away.

POST 1971:

Films like JANGAL MEIN MANGAL, AANKHON AANKHON MEIN and DIL DAULAT DUNIYA released in 1972. Probably the music for some of the songs had already been scored by the two together and kept in their music bank. Here are some brilliant songs from these films:

JANGAL MEIN MANGAL: ‘Tum kitni khoobsurat hoy eh mere dil se pucho…’

Here is a rare Rafi-Kishore duet from the film JANGAL MEIN MANGAL picturized on Kiran Kumar and his friends which included  a weird looking Pran: ‘Ae Bagh ki kaliyon sharam karo sharam karo…’

AANKHON AAKHON MEIN: ‘Aankhon aankhon mein baat…’ with Asha

Another duet from the same film:

‘Do baatein pyar bhari kar loon…’with Asha

The Rajesh Khanna-Kishore combo came together again for this film after Andaz but the results were certainly not anywhere near their best. There were a couple of solos and duets by Kishore Kumar:

DIL DAULAT DUNIYA: ‘Saath mein pyara saathi ho…’

Soon offers reduced though Shankar did manage to come up with a few aces with Kishore Kumar:

DO JHOOT (1975): ‘Chalo bhool jaayen jahan ko yahan do ghadi…’

‘Chatri na khol ud jayegi…’

AAJ KI TAAZA KHABAR (1974) : ‘ Mujhe meri biwi se bachao …’

I end this musical blog with this lovely solo from RESHAM KI DORI picturized on Dharmendra.

RESHAM KI DORI (1975): ‘Chamka pasina banke angina…’

There is no doubt that this talented and unique singer-music director combination would have definitely created a different kind of euphoria for whenever they did come together and whatever little work they did together, they created magic. Whether it was industry politics or just destiny which kept them apart, fans remain grateful for the precious and priceless legacy left behind by them…
