Mumbai – Bharat Kumar alias Manoj Kumar, who has left his own place in the history of Indian cinema as a film actor, director and producer, has achieved extremely popular songs and music immortality. Nevertheless, patriotic songs have been continuously played on national festivals for the last several decades. Very few filmmakers had mastered him like filming songs.
The land of my country is full of gold, this land is full of diamonds, the land of my country is full of gold… Lal Bahadur Shastri’s motto ‘Jai Jawa Jai Kisan’ was written and composed by Gulshan Bawra, the song of this film. In the film ‘Upkar’ with Kalyanji-Anandji, Manoj Kumar first introduced the villain Pran as a character actor in the role of Malang Chacha. This song sung by Malang Chacha, whose playback will be given by Manna Dey: Kasme Vafa Pyaar Vafa is all the things about things…. “The land of my country is golden diamond pearl” (the land of my country is full of gold, diamonds…) In that song, the life of the village was alive through music. The voice of the cows moving in the fields… the bells around the bull’s neck… the sound of playing the flute from the distance… Along with this, it is still popular today due to the best filming of the song and is sung on 15 August and 26 January.
Due to the success of the music of Upkar, Manoj Kumar also chose Kalyanji-Anandji’s pair as composer for the film ‘East and West’. Manoj Kumar, who had a deep understanding of music, used to sit for hours in the music room of Kalyanji-Anandji on Pedar Road and discuss songs and music. It is from here that one of the best songs of the film ‘Purab-West’ was born.
A story has been woven in ‘East and West’ that has a mixture of Indian culture and culture of people living in Western countries. In this film, Mukesh’s sung painful song, when someone breaks your heart, when someone leaves… it became so popular that even after decades is heard even today.
The iconic song of the same film: “Hai Preet Jahan Ki Reet Sada, I sing the song there… I am a resident of India, I will talk to India”. Even today, NRIs living in many countries including America, England, Australia are sung in parties of Indians. When Purva Suhani I Re Purva… Dholi Dhol Bajwa Bajwa… The tune of this song was such that the real Punjabi dhol’s feet started to dance, there was a stir at that time.
Manoj Kumar got the best music from Kalyanji-Anandji in both ‘Upkar’ and ‘East and West’ films, but in the later films ‘Shor’ and ‘Roti, Table and House’, he handed over the task of music to Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
LP The pair gave very attractive music to suit the film’s story in the film ‘Shor’. Among them, Santosh Anand’s song ‘Ek Pyaar Ka Nagma Hai… Mojo Ki Ravani Hai…’ was considered to be the most popular song of the millennium. The second song ‘Pani Re Pani Tera Rang Kaisi…’ and the song ‘Jeevan Chalka Naam Chalte Morning Rahe Morh-o-Sham…’ also became a hit.
Even today, when the Rawandavasi film Kranti’s song “Ab Ke Bars Tuje Dastha Ki Rani”, he is stunned. The song of this film is one of the best romantic duits of Bollywood Ki Naa Tahe Buy Ladi Pyaar Kar Lee Ghar Do Clock.
The pair of Laxmikant-Pyarelal in ‘Roti, Cloth and House’ prepared a music friendly music covered with inflation and social evils. Still, inflation hit… In the midst of inflation, this song really created a stir. When the film was released in 1974, the song ‘Hi Hai Hai Ye Hai Hai Ye Hai Hai Yeh Hai This Mausti… Yeh Tandsha and Yeh Distance… Teri Do Takyan Di Job… Mera Lakho Ka Saat Jaay’ became very popular among the youth. In this film, Aruna Irani has sung a song. Pandit ji, after my death… Manoj Kumar’s face is reflected in the pendant wearing Aruna Irani in it. Even Raj Kapoor was impressed by Manoj Kumar’s amazing camera work.
