The third song in the ” VINTAGE KISHORE” series is from film Shrimati ji-52. It is a two part dance/Song sung by Kishore, Shamshad Begum and chorus.
After a long gap, Kishore had an opportunity to sing a song in a film, without acting in it. This time the Music Director was his favourite and his Guru for Yodelling-Jimmy aka James Singh. Actually the film had three music directors in it, viz. Jimmy, Basant Prakash and S. Mohinder.
Whenever I think of Music Director Basant Prakash, I remember a Hindi saying- “Bade Vriksh ki chhaaya mein doosra koi ped bada nahin ho sakta”, which roughly means,in English,’ No other tree can grow big under a huge tree’.
Basant Prakash was the younger brother of the famous Music Director Khemchand Prakash. he was 20 years younger than him. Basant was born on 27-1-1928 at Sujangarh(Rajasthan). While the famous brother started his career in the 30s, Basant entered films as a joint composer with his brother in the film ” Jai Shankar”-51. In his first independent film ” Badnam”-52 he gave such melodious music that one of Lata’s solo in the film-‘Saajan tumse pyar karoon’ was included in Lata’s “Rare Gems” by HMV. After ‘Nishan Danka’-52 and ‘Saloni’-52, he gave music for two songs in Filmistan’s ‘Shrimati ji’-52.
Actually he was the original Music Director for Filmistan’s ” Anarkali “-53, but due to differences with Filmistan, he had to leave the film, after composing one Geeta song. The song was, however,retained even after he left the film. C.Ramchandra,who took over the film, made history with Anarkali later.
Overall, though talented,somehow luck was not in his favour. He did some more films like Bhakta Dhruv, Niloufer, Hum kahan jaa rahe hain, Jyot jalen, Ishwar Allah tere naam and Abla-89. Basant Prakash could never reach the heights Khemchand prakash had reached. Basant Prakash died 0n 19-3-1996 in Mumbai.
The second Music Director of the film, S. Mohinder or Sardar Mohinder Singh Sarna, started his career with Sehra-48 and ended with Dahej-1981. Thereafter, like Sardul Kwatra, S Mohinder too left for US. Thus both the Sikh composers of Hindi films settled in America.
The third composer of this film Jimmy or James Singh started his filmi career by singing in films in the late 40s. His first film was Muqaddar-50, along with Khemchand Prakash and Bhola Shreshtha. Jimmy gave us Kishore’s first Yodelling song-‘Ek do teen chaar’ from this film. He and Kishore joined again in ‘Shrimati ji-52’. Together they gave 3 lilting duets with Shamshad Begum.
There were 10 songs in the film. 7 were composed by Jimmy, 2 by Basant Prakash and only 1 was by Mohinder, but what a song it was ! hemant-Geeta duet-‘ do naina tumhaare pyaare pyaare’-an all time favourite. Ravi Shankar was the assistant in this film. Later he became famous as Music Director Ravi in Hindi and as Bombay Ravi in Malyalam films.
Today’s song is sung by Kishore and Shamshad Begum. This is from the early days of Kishore. Later,he sang many famous duets with her.
The cast of Shrimati ji was Nasir Khan, Shyama, Ram Singh, Murad, Vimla, Indira, Prabha, Johar, Majnu etc. This was a film by Filmistan and was directed by I.S.Johar, who wrote the story and screenplay also. Dialogues were written by Rama Johar, wife of I S Johar that time and who became famous as Rama Bans- the fitness expert and TV personality later on.
In 1949, Ek Thi Ladki was also written by Johar with screenplay too. That was the time when Johar and Majnu acted together for the first time. The film and the pair’s acting became so famous that not only Roop K Shorey but also Johar lived through rest of their lives using the same basic story with alterations here and there. Shorey considered the pair of Johar and Majnu as his Mascot and featured them in almost every film he made after that.
I S Johar wanted to become a famous pair with Majnu on the lines of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. Johar-Majnu usually copied their costumes and styles in films. What’s more this pair even copied the ‘Yogi dance’ of Hope-Crosby in the movie Hum sab chor hain’-56. Johar produced a series of “Road films”- Johar Mehmood in Goa, Johar in Kashmir, Johar in Bombay, Johar mehmood in Hong kong. Senior readers will probably remember the Bob Hope-Bing Crosby film series of ” Road to Singapore, to Zanzibar, to Morocco, to Utopia, to Rio, to Bali and Road to Hong kong ” all films from 1940 to 1962. So much for Johar’s ‘originality’ !
Majnu-original name- Harold Lewis- was a successful comedian Hero in Lahore before Partition. Along with Shorey, Vinod and others, he too migrated to India and worked with Shorey till his end.
Johar’s story was a One Line one-‘ an innocent beautiful damsel in distress is first cheated and later saved by a pair of crooks.’ This formula was used even in Shrimati ji with some variations. This was SHYAMA’s first film as a Heroine. The story of Shrimati ji-52 was-
Beautiful Indira is an orphan. This chubby, smiling girl looks innocent but is street smart. She and her 3 friends named Fatty, Shorty and Tally, try several ways to earn money but fail every time and keep running further into debts. They want to earn honestly and be independent. Indira tries her luck even in a village, but fails. While returning to Bombay she meets a crook, Jeewan who not only gives her a lift, but also takes her to a Hotel for dinner. There is a Police raid on the hotel and to save her from police, Jeewan introduces her as his wife. He takes out some photos also. Later in the night Indira resists his advances and escapes from there, only to fall prey to a pair of crooks dealing in counterfeit notes. She manages to wriggle out.
Finally she and her friends get a job in a hotel as dancers. She meets Rajesh and his three friends who also worked there earlier. They fall in love and decide to get married. He takes her to his house. To her horror she recognises the place as the same Hotel where Jeewan had brought her and the ‘Hotel manager’ is none other than Rajesh’s father.
Agitated,Indira tells Rajesh everything, but he does not believe her. He leaves her and to forget her, he joins the secret service of Army. He is sent to Burma border where he has to bust the efforts of a gang who would pass on secret maps to enemy. Madam Chitra and her troup is there to help them. Rajesh recognises that Chitra is Indira. He is caught by the enemy, but Indira and her friends rescue him. Together they bust the gang and arrest them. The gang leader in Jeewan,who is caught red handed.
Rajesh-Indira and their three friends too get married happily in the end.
Here is the song and song sequence in two parts from the film, sung by Kishore and Shamshad Begum with chorus-featuring Shyama, Nasir Khan and their three pair of friends.
