तेरे तो और भी होंगे सपने मेरा तो कोई और नहीं #Gulzar #BirthdayWeek #NirmalPandey #InMemories Daayra (1996) was an unconventional and risky film for NN Sippy Productions, Amol Palekar the filmmaker, and, of course, Nirmal Pandey, the lead protagonist in the film, who would have been 64 today if not for his untimely death at the age of just 47. Nirmal Pandey, who graduated from the National School of Drama, was an intense and committed actor. After starting with Mani Kaul's art film Idiot and getting proper recognition with Bandit Queen, he didn't settle for the mainstream and continued to take risks with his roles. Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin, God Mother, Train to Pakistan and Jahan Tum Le Chalo, and, of course, Amol Palekar's Daayra, which was perhaps the biggest risk of his career, in which he played a transvestite and won the Best Female Actor award at France's 1997 Valenciennes Film Festival for his portrayal. Daayra was a highly sensitive film and will be remembered for Nirmal and Sonali's cross-gender acts. It also brought together Gulzar and Anand-Milind for the first time for the music. It still remains a different and sincere effort by Anand-Milind, where Asha ji & Yesudas rendered this very beautiful lori. Remembering Nirmal Pandey & Celebrating Gulzar, who would complete 92 later this week. #Daayra

#1942ALoveStory was a boring watch for me on its first day of release in 1994. The intent was in the right place, but the execution lacked soul and spirit. My first reaction was that it made for a great #Chitrahaar because of its songs one after another, but as a film it was merely average, though certainly not bad. Without #RDBurman’s music, it might have been a largely forgettable experience. Despite a terrific star cast and some beautiful cinematography, the film itself felt surprisingly lackluster. The film lacked intensity & depth for the theme which was extremely promising. I still remember coming out of the cinema hall and asking two friends of mine, both regular moviegoers, what they thought of the film. Both said, “It was good.” So I asked, “What was good?” Their answer has stayed with me: “We don’t know. But everybody is saying it’s good, so how can we be different?” #1942ALS #Pancham #RDB Vikram Bondal Sukanya Verma nirupama kotru

S. Janaki #InMemories S. Janaki for Shankar Jaikishan While Hindi mainstream music started making a note of her name in mid 80s, more so for Bappi Lahiri's music for those Southern Indian productions featuring Jeetendra, Sridevi, Jayaprada, Rajesh Khanna, and more importantly for chart busters like "Yaar Bina Chain Kahaan Re" and "Gori ka Saajan, Saajan ki Gori", S Janaki was actually singing for Hindi dubbed films since 1960. One of her breakthrough Hindi song was by Shankar Jaikishan, a short snippet for Meena Kumari in Dil Ek Mandir. The soundtrack was full of chartbusters so this remained a lesser heard and discussed initial songs.. Vipin Suresh #SJanaki #DilEkMandir #ShankarJaikishan

In 1980, Dr. Shreeram Lagoo stepped into film direction with his first feature Zhaakol, a psychological murder mystery. For this film, he hoped to include the voice of Pt. Kumar Gandharva, something that had never taken place in cinema before. He requested Panditji, who agreed, and recorded a song specifically for the film. It was filmed as a full concert sequence, making it a rare and remarkable moment in film history. Panditji appears in the sequence with his long-time accompanists, Sh. Chintamani Kirkire and Smt Neelambari Kirkire. [parents of Swanand Kirkire] for the Sangat like his many live concerts. One of the real power of cinema is its ability to preserve performance and memory. We lost Chintamani Kirkire sir today. His departure was gentle and dignified, in keeping with the quiet grace he carried through life. I am sure he will continue to breathe in Swanand bhai's music. Sharing this Kumarji song in Kirkire sir's memory, where he performs on screen alongside Kumarji. #ChintamaniKirkire #RestinMusic #InMemories

My favorite Asrani Memory.. This song is one of the permanent companion during my morning walks, hikes and cycle rides. A mini India formed in a multi genre, multi generation song with so much of energy, love and positive vibes flowing along with. Asrani being the picture of the youth of the 70s.. #KishoreKumar #MannaDey #Asrani #InMemories

इंडस्ट्री की राजनीति से निराश और हताश होकर #जयदेव बिना किसी को बताए चुपचाप मुंबई छोड़ गए। एक शो के सिलसिले में वे दिल्ली गए थे और वहीं उन्होंने तय कर लिया कि अब वापस नहीं लौटेंगे। इधर आलाप पर काम शुरू होने जा रहा था, जो ऋषिकेश मुखर्जी के दिल के बहुत करीब था। एन. सी. सिप्पी इस फिल्म को लेकर बेहद उत्साहित थे और अमिताभ बच्चन भी, जो एक्शन हीरो की अपनी छवि बदलने के लिये इस किस्म की गम्भीर भूमिकाएं करना चाह रहे थे| फिल्म की आत्मा संगीत था। सवाल था कि संगीत कौन देगा। जो संगीत के माधुर्य और शास्त्रीयता को आम जन के लिये सरल रूप में प्रस्तुत कर सके बर्मन दा और मदन मोहन अब इस दुनिया में नहीं थे, इसलिए फिल्म के सबसे ज़रूरी के लिए सबकी राय एक ही नाम पर आकर ठहरी "जयदेव" । लेकिन जयदेव थे कहां? वे इंडस्ट्री छोड़कर मानो एक तरह के अज्ञातवास में चले गए थे। कोई दूसरा विकल्प दिखाई नहीं दे रहा था। जयदेव के बिना यह फिल्म संभव नहीं थी। उनकी तलाश हर दिशा में शुरू हुई। कोलकाता से लेकर दिल्ली और पंजाब तक उन्हें ढूंढा गया। यह खोज एक महीने से भी अधिक समय तक चलती रही। इसी दौरान कपूरथला में रहते हुए जयदेव को एक मित्र के ज़रिये खबर मिली कि उनकी तलाश हो रही है। उन्होंने सिप्पी साहब को फोन किया। सिप्पी साहब ने कहा, “पहली ट्रेन पकड़कर मुंबई आ जाइए। यह काम आपके लिए ही बना है।” जयदेव लौटे और हमें आलाप जैसा उत्कृष्ट संगीत मिला, जिसकी मिठास हमेशा रहेगी| कीजे सुदृष्टि सेवक जान अपना इतना वरदान दीजे तान, ताल और अलाप बुद्धि, अलंकार शारदा। माता सरस्वती शारदा 🙏 आप सबको बसंत पंचमी और सरस्वती पूजो की शुभकामनाएं #Jaidev #Alaap #AmitabhBachchan #HrishikeshMukherjee #Lata #Yesudas #BasantPanchami

बजे सरगम हर तरफ़ से ताल कदमों पे जाये जाग जग पे जागे गीत ऐसा गूंजे बन के देस राग #PiyushPandey While Piyush Pandey ji will always be remembered for his unforgettable iconic ads [Fevicol, Cadbury, mSeal], my personal favorites are the two national integration campaign songs he created with with Suresh Malik, coined the timeless “Mile Sur Mera Tumhara” and its majestic follow-up “Baje Sargam Har Taraf Se, Goonj Ban Kar Des Raag.” A truly remarkable achievement in the Doordarshan era, these weren’t just songs, they were emotions, anthems India singing to itself. Mile Sur carried a charmingly populist filmy flavor, but Des Raag elevated the idea to a whole new level. It was a brilliant coming together of India’s finest ambassadors of culture, music, and dance, woven together with the magic of our greatest classical instrumentalists of our times. What a Feat! #PiyushPandey #InMemories #RIP

October10 - जगजीत की याद का दिन .. 'बात निकलेगी तो फिर दूर तलक जायेगी' जगजीत ने कफ़ील आज़र की ये नज़्म, फ़िल्म मैगज़ीन 'शमा' में पढ़ी थी उन्होने सबसे पहले वो भुपिंदर सिंह की आवज़ में रेकार्ड करवाई, जो रिलीज़ नहीं हुई. फिर अर्जुन देव रश्क़ की एक फ़िल्म के लिये रेकार्ड की, जो फ़िल्म बनी नहीं..हर रचना की अपनी नियति होती है. उनको ये नज़्म बेहद पसंद थी तो प्रतिबंध हटने के बाद के अपने पहले एलबम #TheUnforgettables में शामिल की. फ़िल्म मेकर बासु भट्टाचार्य ने हिंदी फ़िल्मों में सबसे पहले जगजीत सिंह की प्रतिभा को पहचाना (वैसे पहले जगजीत साठ के दशक में गुजराती फ़िल्म मे भजन गा चुके थे),और फ़िल्म आविष्कार में क्लासिक रचना ’बाबुल मोरा नैहर छूटो ही जाये’ को बासु ने जगजीत-चित्रा के युगल स्वरों में बेहद खूबसूरती से क्लाईमैक्स में प्रस्तुत किया. उसके बाद अपनी अगली फ़िल्म गृह-प्रवेश में जगजीत की गाई ’बात निकलेगी तो फित दूर तलक जायेगी’ को फिर से शामिल किया. बासु दा ने रेडियो पे बजते गीत के वोल्यूम को जिस तरह से दोनो चरित्रों के उहापोह और अन्दर ही अन्दर चलने वाले द्वंद को पेश किया है, वो उनके खामोश सिनेमा का एक बेहतरीन आयाम पेश करता है. वहीं बाबुल मोरा दोनो चरित्रों के कॉनफ़्लिक्ट का रेसोल्यूशन बनता है, और बासु दा उसे विदाई गीत के बजाय घर वापसी का गीत बनाते हैं - घर अमर-मानसी का सुनिये .. #JagjitSingh #DeathAnniversary #BasuBhattacharya #JagjitChitra #WazidAliShah #SongsonRadio #KafeelAzar #KanuRoy

झुमका गिरा रे, बरेली के बज़ार में - 1932 में Yet even before the Shamshad version of 1947, #JhumkaGiraRe had already fallen in #BareilykeBazaar as it appeared on records in 1932 rendered by Miss Dulari for a non film record. The composer & lyricist remains uncredited on record as it was the traditional folk tune & words preserved in oral history. The tune is closer to MM's improvisation for Mera Saaya सास मोरी ढूंढे, ननद मोरी ढुंढे सैयां ढूंढे रे बरेली के बज़ार में झुमका गिरा रे ref #WhatJhumka #RRKPK #MeraSaaya #MadanMohan #Sadhana #RMAK #MussDulari #NonFilm #Folk somen mishra वरुण 🇮🇳 Swanand Kirkire Irfan

Dear #VividhBharti तुम्हें हो ना हो, मुझको तो इतना यकीं है ये गीत गुलज़ार का नहीं है, नहीं है A certified 100% #NotbyGulzar mostly credited to Gulzar but penned by Naqsh Lyallpuri saab [The above was played on Vividh Bharti yday again with credits to Gulzar] #creditswheredue #NotbyGulzar #NBG #Gharonda #Runalaila वरुण 🇮🇳 Swanand Kirkire Raj Shekhar Puneet Sharma Yunus Khan ----- कोई ख़्वाब ऊँचे मकानों से झाँके कोई ख़्वाब बैठा रहे सर झुकाये Destiny plays interesting games.. Sometimes when a film has a dedicated lyricist & yet for some specific reason, if the film opens up an opportunity for a guest lyricist, the guest lyricist misses a mention in credits on various occasions & platforms.. In last 27yrs, since the existence of Gulzaronline, & interaction with thousands of gulzar-fans personally, have come across many hundred people & instances & even many music web sites that incorrectly attributes this gorgeous song to Gulzar sb, while the song was penned by Naqsh Lyallpuri It happened with Gharonda, Gulzar sb was not only writing screenplay, dialogs but also songs and poem for the film.. It was during the making of the film Runa Laila visited India and met Jaidev ji.. She desperately wanted to do a song with #Jaidev ji, but the problem was she was here for 3-4 days.. Jaidev called Naqsh saab to hotel and asked him to write some impromptu words with modern/urban context. Naqsh saab came up with an unusual love song.. "Mujhe pyaar tumse nahin hai, nahin hai".. for the theme, Jaidev ji just gave a cue, that he wants a modern love song, which should have an urban feel. The song was created in few sittings, tune/words & singing (Naqsh saab has told that many of the Jaidev songs were created impromptu, without any purpose.. His habit was to create music whenever these people sat together for any reason, rather than getting into any kind of chit chat. चलो कोई गाना बनाते हैं ). Jaidev ji was doing Gharonda in those days and asked diector Bhimsen if they can record this song for it can be accommodated in the film, as he felt this could well be a very good fit for the film theme and ambience.. Hence Naqsh saab came in and the film had two lyricists.. (As told by Naqsh saab) ji, as if she was destined to sing this one!What an outing this turned out to be for the artists involved.. as they all came up with a Gem of a song! Brilliant Thought and Composition.. मुझे प्यार तुमसे नहीं है, नहीं है मगर मैंने ये राज़ अब तक ना जाना के क्यूँ प्यारी लगती हैं बातें तुम्हारी मैं क्यूँ तुमसे मिलने का ढूँढूँ बहाना कभी मैंने चाहा तुम्हें छू के देखूँ कभी मैंने चाहा तुम्हें पास लाना मगर फिर भी मगर फिर भी इस बात का तो यक़ीं है मुझे प्यार तुमसे नहीं है - नहीं है Immortal words of #Naqsh sb

Do you know there exists a song on gramophone records which has Lyrics credited to Gandhi ji. The only song of its kind was recorded by Manna Dey for commissioned composer Vasant Desai by Govt of Mah to mark Birth Centenary celebrations of Mahatma Gandhi. The lyrics was a poetic response by Gandhi ji to a little girl's letter and the letter was composed as the song-prayer for the special commemorative record with lyrics credits to Gandhi ji. Unfortunately the published records were not distributed and did not reach public. Decades later Suresh ji found the set of records in a Govt Godown kept as a trash and without care or anyone noticing it. Suresh ji brought the record from the office, cleaned it up and shared the recording so that people know of Gandhi ji's contribution as a recorded lyricist. Without Suresh ji, we wouldn't have known of this. Alive in Music & Memories. Swanand Kirkire Raj Shekhar SWA India Org Puneet Sharma वरुण 🇮🇳
