music over his personal happiness for years I think in the first decade of my career I was intensely unhappy as I had no balance I was just work work work And yes everything was hypersuccessful but it was hypersuccessful because I had no personal life at allWork was everything I think finding that balance with getting married having a family living around my friends Being able to spend time with my friends and family that has now become 70 percent of my life and work is like 30 percent Before it was 100 per cent and zero anything else Sheeran told The Sun newspaperHe added The balance of getting to exist as a human being rather than just a pop star machine that would be my measure of successSheeran who has daughters Lyra five and threeyearold Jupiter with his wife Cherry Seaborn now makes sure he and his family take priority over his career reports femalefirstcoukHe said The stage I am at in my career is that I am really happy and settled I am really happy with who I am as an artist the music I am creating and the shows I am doing Honestly the biggest thing for me is being able to balance being a dad and being a husband and to feel like I am achieving both things to a good levelThe Perfect hitmaker talked about working too hard during his younger years but he now wants to enjoy his success and his family lifeSheeran said To be that successful in my 20s you have to give everything of yourself all day every day and theres a time limit to that sanitywise I see it now and when I hang out with new artists who are in the zone it just compounds the feeling for me of being That aint me any moreYou know work 16 hours a day and just be in it You have to do that at some point in life but at some point you have to just take your foot off the gas a little bit especially when

Hiran Das Murali popularly known as Vedan in a case alleging rape on the false promise of marriage The order was delivered by Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas who clarified that allegations of other crimes against the rapper were not under consideration in this particular petitionThe case was filed by a doctor who alleged that Vedan befriended her through Instagram in 2021 and their relationship grew over timeShe claimed that he promised to marry her and under that assurance engaged in physical relations on several occasions in Kozhikode Kochi and other places between 2021 and 2023The complaint also stated that the two briefly lived together and that she provided him financial support including funds for his debut album and travel expensesAppearing through counsel the complainant opposed the bail plea contending that Vedan had similarly deceived other young womenHowever the court noted that each case must be treated independently Vedans counsel argued that the relationship was consensual

https://dailyworld.in/music/when-kl-saigal-sang-mere-sapno-ki-rani-first-in-a-hindi-film-610826.html New Delhi April 11 If the song Mera Sapno ki Rani only brings to your mind Rajesh Khanna gambolling about on a jeep while singing his hearts desire to a curious Sharmila Tagore in the train running along think again The first to sing this serenade to the beloved of his dreams was another superstar K L Saigal when Khanna was just four years old Saigals Mere Sapno Ki Rani with different lyrics and tune was one of the nine songs in Shah Jehan 1946 the second biggest hit of the year just behind Anmol Ghadi Yet this song which also brought its chorus singer Mohd Rafi to prominence is eclipsed by the more famed Jab dil hi toot gaya which turned out to be Saigals swan songJab dil hi toot gaya and the likes of Nuktacheen hai ghamedil Yahudi Ki Ladki 1933 his first hit Dukh ke ab din beetat nahi Devdas 1935 Babul mora naihar Street Singer 1937 Karoon kya aas niras bhayi Dushman 1939 Ae qatibetaqdeer My Sister 1943 are among the best of Saigal but paradoxically have left a shadow on the future reputationWhile triumphing over several obstacles to become Hindi cinemas first and sole male singing superstar and a significant cultural icon for his rendition of bhajans and ghazals Kundan Lal Saigal 190447 who was born on this day April 11 has been mostly forgotten by succeeding generationsAnd if not forgotten he is mocked or at best parodied as an exponent of oldfashioned sorrow and pathosimbued songsThis is despite Saigal being a rare singer who impressed both classical and popular exponents of the art and even a preeminent cultural icon Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore himselfWhile all succeeding singers of the Hindi film industry be it Mukesh Mohd Rafi Talat Mehmood and Kishore Kumar tried to emulate him as their early songs show eg Mukeshs Dil jalta hai or Kishore Kumars Marne ki dua kyun mangu legends of the Indian classical world were unrestrained in the praise of his virtuosityUstad Faiyyaz Khan the doyen of the Agra Gharana told Saigal that he had nothing to teach him that would make him a greater singer and Ustad Abdul Karim Khan of the Kirana Gharana visited a cinema hall for the first time only to hear Saigals rendition of a song in Devdas 1935 and was moved to tearsSaigal also became the first nonBengali allowed to render Rabindrasangeet with the Gurudev himself giving him permissionAnd he was commercially successful tooTwice rejected by HMV then Indias biggest music recording company for lack of training he was given a break by Hindusthan Records and became a topselling artiste for them One 1933 record containing just the bandish Jhulana Jhulao Re and bhajan Hori O Brajraj Dulare on the flip side sold a whopping half a million pieces in the days when gramophones were rareAnd then Saigal was so proficient in pitch that musicians used to tune their instruments by asking him to sing a noteBut more importantly Saigal in his short life and career was not limited to tragic songsIn a career lasting just a decade and a half spanning the key film centres of then Calcutta and Bombay and comprising 36 films 28 Hindi seven Bengali and one Tamil he sang 185 songs including nonfilm in Hindustani Bengali Punjabi Tamil as well as Persian and Pashto And like Mere Sapno ki Rani from Shah Jehan not all were tearjerkersTake the upbeat Ek bangla bane nyara President 1937 with its esoteric music Mai kya janoon kya jadoo hai Zindagi 1940 with the various shades he imbued in the second kya which is not easy to enunciate or Do naina matware tihare My Sister 1944 and then Hum apna unhein bana na sake from Bhanwara 1944 where he even laughs midsongAnd while Diya Jalao Tansen 1943 is another signature rendition which he emotes perfectly too especially where he seems a bit unsure of the ragas potency and wistfully closes his eyes midnote Baag laga dun sajni and Sapt suran tin graam gaavo also display his rangeBut then it was not only his repertoire of melancholy that remained around him on and offscreen that left a shadow over him in posterity It was the fact that he was never for the casual and superficial listener requiring a measured and mellow outlook to appreciate as his baritonetenor mix with just the slightest hint of a twang slowly entrances you with his intensity and intricate artMusic maestro Naushad his final composer penned the perfect epitaph Aisa koi fankaremukammal nahi aaya Naghmon ka barasta badal nahi aaya Mausiqi ke maahir bahut aae lekin Duniya mein koi doosra Saigal nahi aayaVikas Datta can be contacted at

want to cry Im definitely an overly raw personFor Gaga music strikes a chord that is deep in her bodyAnd I think for some people my music might do that for them too Music brings us alive in a new way

in Mayhem like previous albums she agreed So yeah I definitely think this album is very vulnerable Im not trying to play a character the way that I did with Chromatica with Joanne with ARTPOP there were all these characters With Mayhem theyre all in there but Im the composer and its for realAlthough she goes to a dark place at the start the Die with a Smile hitmaker explained that the ending reflects the hopefulness she found with her fiancé Michael Polansky during the process reports femalefirstcoukShe added Overall I would say that I have a special relationship with every single song on the record Each one has its place on the album And it really is an arc of a story that starts with something very unsettling and it ends in the kind of hopefulness that I found with my partner during making itAnd now I get to keep going in this mayhem with somebody else Were in it togetherThere are some angry songs on there too making it a rollercoaster of emotionsShe said of the process and what she hopes her fans take away from it It was beautiful It was fun It was serious I get very serious when I work Some of the songs are angry Theres moments of humour and confidence Its also about the mayhem for me of being a womanIm just feeling everything and going through it all But the joy also resides in the very fact that I get to make music for a livingAnd then in the end all of the things that Ive been through and thinking I dont know how am I going to get this industrial sort of pseudo 2000s beat to go with this electro grunge sound and how am I going to get this kind of Bowie funky record to mesh with this 80s synth pop Im doing all this gymnastics But the joy of it in the end is that I was able to make sense of it for meShe continued I want people to have that feeling for themselves They may not have that feeling for themselves with this record because its not what they made But I hope that they will see it as an expression of whats possible IANS

L Saigal to Shah Rukh Khan he was skilful at seamlessly combining the melodies of Indian classical the cadences of folk music from all over the subcontinent and the harmonies of Western classical strains to entrance listeners but Naushad had other accomplishments to his credit Especially when still establishing himself in the Bombay film industry where he had just been around for a few years he adroitly put a top film director trying to interfere with his work in his placeNaushad 19192006 who was born in Lucknow on this day December 25 recalled he was recording that matchless melody Jawaan Hai Mohabbat from Anmol Ghadi 1946 the swan song of undivided India when the film director the redoubtable Mehboob Khan strode in and began instructing the musicians and technicians on how to go about He even asked singer Noorjehan to change a note here or there All Naushad could say was Everything would be carried out the exact way you want it Mehboob SahabHowever the very next day Naushad turned the tables He went to the sets and was told by the director that they were filming the song he had just recorded Asking the directors permission to see it through the camera he started to ask the staff to move props here or thereAn irate Mehboob Khan caught Naushad by the ear and sought to give him an earful Hey you laatsahaab who do you think you are Scram this is not your job Your job is music direction direction is my job he saidAt this Naushad quietly said that this was the admission he was waiting for and Mehboob Khan also realised it and stuck firmly to his own role in the next seven films they did togetherTo him also goes the credit of taking Hindi film music to a new high by successfully classical maestros such as Ustad Amir Khan D V Paluskar and Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan to lend their voices to itHow Naushad got Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan to sing for MughaleAzam is a tale in itself though it was the chutkis of its director KAsif to flick off the ash from his cigarette and his sheer chutzpah that clinched the deal The music composer revealed the entire engaging story in his inimitable style to former Chief Election Commissioner S Y Quarishi then the Director General Doordarshan in an interview in 2002But his journey to renown took time he had come to Bombay as a teenager in 1937 and worked as an assistant to music directors like Ustad Jhande Khan and Khemchand Prakash before being entrusted his first independent film in 1941 However it was only his 13th film Rattan 1944 that emerged as a megahitBut he could not revel in its success Its popular tunes were played at weddings especially Naushads own but he could claim ownership as it was a time when careers in films were frowned upon and Naushad had to silently listen to both his oblivious father and fatherinlaw roundly abuse those who made it a profession In fact his family had said that he was working as a tailor in BombayIn his career spanning till the middle of the 21st centurys first decade Naushad scored music for less than 100 films but these include gems like Anmol Ghadi Shahjehan Andaz the Dilip KumarRaj KapoorNargis Aan Baiju Bawra Mother India MughaleAzam Kohinoor GungaJamuna Ram Aur Shyam Sunghursh and finally Taj Mahal An Eternal Love Story 2005 going in for quality not quantityThere were many films he refused as the makers wanted the entire music in a month while he said he could take a month to finalise one tuneWhile he made an enduring partnership with lyricist Shakeel Badayuni especially when Mohammad Rafi sang the resulting song Naushad hailing from Lucknow a key centre of Urdu poetry was himself a gifted poet across from ghazals to nazms and geets and tributes to idols and contemporariesHis collection of poetry Athvan Sur contains several ghazals and nazms like Modern Music which ends Sangeet hai ya koi kabarhi ki dukaan haiSaazon ka faqt shor hai sangeet kahan haiNaushad dua karta hai bas haath uthayeSangeet ki kashti ko khuda par lagayeOne ghazal he used to quote often begins Abhi saazedil mein taraane bahut hainAbhi zindagi ke bahaane bahut hain and then in a probable reference to the traditional Indian element in his music says Dareghair par bheekh maango na fann kiJab apne hi ghar mein khazaane bahut hain before ending tongueincheek Hain din badmazaki ke Naushad lekinAbhi tere fann ke deewane bahut hainVikas Datta can

https://dailyworld.in/music/raushan-tumhi-se-duniya-mohd-rafis-versatile-voice-trademark-modesty-keeps-him-immortal-591781.html New Delhi Dec 24 An unparalleled voice in Hindi films this playback singer who had already sung for many generations of heroes for nearly three decades once came home extremely delighted gathered all his family and excitedly told them that he just had the pleasure of singing for Amitabh Bachchan And Mohammad Rafi who had sung hundreds of tragic songs actually cried just once when he thought he had lost his voice ahead of a concert for soldiers near the war frontThat was the magic of Rafi who was born on this day December 24 in a small village in Punjabs Amritsar district exactly 100 years back Working his way from a barbers shop in Lahore to becoming a legend of the Indian film realm he however always remained a shy selfeffacing man who never forsook his intrinsic humility and simplicityAs one of his friends recalled Rafi was taken aback when fans once surrounded him and demanded his autograph Eh ki chande hain he quietly asked in the Punjabi he never forsook and was hesitant to comply since he could not sign his name in English But he then relentlessly practised at home much to the annoyance of his wife for wasting reams and reams of paper with his scribbling till he could effortlessly sign for his fansIn fact the only concession he made to his fame was to help people in need with money or his art agreeing to sing for new composers without or at a greatly reduced feeStatistics tell us Rafi sang 4425 Hindi film songs but the figure though impressive doesnt give the full picture of the effect he hadWould Dilip Kumar have achieved his brooding image without the likes of Koi saagar dil ko behlataa nahi Dil Diya Dard Liya or his playful side without Nain lad jaihen Gunga Jamuna or would Shammi Kapoors exuberant screen persona come through without songs like the fullthroated Chahe mujhe koi junglee kahe Junglee or Taarif karoon kya uski Kashmir ki Kali with this line rendered successively in a higher and higher pitchCould Dev Anand have portrayed his jauntiness as effectively if Main zindagi ka saaath nibhata chala gaya Hum Dono was in another voice or could someone else have provided the same verve to Main jat yamla pagla deewana Pratigyaawith verve for a comically boisterous Dharmendra after something like the sensuously romantic Chhu lene do naazuk hothon ko KaajalHis first notable performance was singing in the chorus as the legendary KL Saigal warbled Mere Sapnon ki Rani Shahjehan but Rafi soon himself became Bollywoods most recognised playback singer His amazing versatility brought life to everything from soulful ghazals to exuberant qawwalis to heartfelt bhajans to romantic songs spanning the spectrum laments on human deceptions classicallytinged songs and patriotic worksBesides becoming the prime voice for Dilip Kumar after Talat Mehmood and for Dev Anand he also sang for several generations of Bollywoods leading men Bharat Bhushan Rajendra Kumar and Guru Dutt down to Dharmendra Jeetendra Amitabh Bachchan Teri Bindiya Re in Abhimaan and Rishi Kapoor His voice was also heard on comedians like Mehmood Johnny Walker and Radhakrishan and even fearsome villains like Ajit and Pran in their positive rolesThough some of his most enduring work was with composer Naushad Ali and songwriter Shakeel Badayuni he worked with almost every music director and lyricist of the Hindi film industry to create some of the most unforgettable film songs from Gaon Ki Gori in 1945 to Zamaane ko Dikhane Hai in 1982 melodies which are still heard with pleasure todayTake romantic songs like the softly haunting Chaudhvin ka chaand ho ya Chaudhvin ka Chand the questioning Maine shayad tumhe pahle bhi kahi dekha hai Barsaat Ki Raat the wildly imploring Akele akele kahan jaa rahe ho An Evening In Paris especially when he goes up in pitch to ask Khushamad karega to phir kya karogeThe classical touch was rendered effortlessly and perfectly in Madhuban mein Radhika ache Kohinoor the plaintive Sukh Ke Sab Saathi Dukh Mein Koi Gopi and Man tadpat Hari darshan ko aaj Baiju Bawra a milestone of his virtuosity and the range and amount of pathos he can injectOn the other hand there were childrens songs like Chun chun karti aayi chirya Ab Dilli door nahin or comic numbers like April fool banaya to unko gussa aaya and many more till his over threedecadelong career abruptly ended in one rainy day in July 1980However Rafi will never be forgotten as Dilip Kumar in the foreword to one of his biographies noted how millions loved the songs he sang from his soul for their enjoyment and inner enrichmentVikas Datta can be contacted at vikasdiansin IANS

Mandar is on the verge of receiving a Geographical Indication GI tag with the final hearing scheduled for December 20 before the Registrar of Geographical Indications Government of India Mandar holds a special place in Jharkhands cultural heritage serving as the primary instrument played during festivals crop celebrations religious rituals and cultural events It is deeply integrated into the lives of both tribal and nontribal communities having been used for centuries in various dance and song performancesSecuring the GI tag will not only provide formal recognition but also present Mandar as a unique cultural and intellectual property of India on the global stageCurrently Jharkhand has only one GI tag awarded in 2021 to Sohrai paintings from Hazaribagh districtThe claim for the GI tag was filed in 2023 on behalf of Mandar by the Mandar Producer Company of Jarjatta village located in the Raidih block of Gumla district This initiative was spearheaded by the then Deputy Commissioner of Gumla Sushant Gaurav and is now being closely monitored by the current Deputy Commissioner Karna SatyarthiSources indicate that Jharkhands claim has so far met most of the required parameters during previous hearingsNandlal Nayak a renowned folk artist from Jharkhand highlighted the uniqueness of Mandar stating that no similar replica has been found in any other region or country Jarjatta village known for its expertise in crafting Mandar has been associated with its production since ancient times Today the fourth generation of 22 families in the village continues this traditional craftThe Mandar is a percussion instrument characterised by its distinctive cylindrical shape made from red clay which slightly bulges in the middle The structure is hollow with its openings covered by leather on both sides The right opening is smaller while the left is larger The leather coverings are secured using braided cordsA special coating known as Kiran is applied to the smaller opening giving Mandar its resonant and unique sound When played the musician often moves rhythmically carrying the instrument using a rope slung over the shoulderIf granted the GI tag Mandar will not only bolster Jharkhands cultural identity but also create opportunities for its preservation and global promotion IANS

And he had good reason to laud her his luck had turned after their marriage and after over 15 flops he hit the big time and the Shammi Kapoor persona of a jiving and carefree romantic hero was born Their son Aditya Raj Kapoor termed his fathers dancing a reflection of his mothers personalityIn her short lifespan of 34 years and a film career which spanned twothirds of it Geeta Bali had made waves as she danced with the legendary Bhagwan Dada especially in the faux Hawaiian Shola jo bhadke from Albela 1951 matched histrionics with all the top heroes of her time from Dev Anand to Dharmendra persuaded Guru Dutt to step in front of the camera stood her ground against the likes of Madhubala and Suraiya and left even Meena Kumari awestruck at her capability and versatilityHowever despite her successes and the acclaim she enjoyed Geeta Bali born on this day November 30 in Amritsar in 1930 missed one defining role like her top contemporaries Nargis in Mother India 1957 Madhubala in MughaleAzam 1960 and Meena Kumari in countless performances It was her attempt to remedy this contributed to her untimely and agonising deathBorn Harkirtan Kaur Bali the daughter of granthi Pandit Kartar Singh Bali common for his Mohyal community where there were no clear demarcations between Hindu and Sikh she was a born performer from her childhood Uncharacteristically for the age her parents allowed her and other siblings to learn music dance riding and gatka Geeta Bali was nine when she and her sister tried a public performance in Lahore but the community objected and police eventually escorted the duo to safety after threats against their familyHowever the very next year she snagged a role at AIR Lahore hosting childrens programmes and debuted as a child artist with the Punjabi

had lively eyes and a mobile countenance and recognised her ability Sharma paid off Khan and put her in his made her the star of Suhaag Raat 1948 opposite Bharat Bhushan and Begum ParaHowever her career may have ended on the first day due to her marked Punjabi accent and pronunciation and Sharmas staff pleaded with him to replace her However Sharma who had launched Raj Kapoor and Madhubala retained faith in her and by the dubbing she had improved her dictionThe unit was also impressed with how the petite woman when required to lift and carry the hero on her shoulders for one scene managed it without any difficultyThe film was a hit but led to a precarious situation Her mother swayed by the money began signing projects for her right and left without any thought and Geeta Bali

https://dailyworld.in/music/how-velvety-voiced-geeta-dutts-signature-songs-had-an-uncanny-reflection-of-her-life-585532.html New Delhi Nov 23 By some unhappy coincidence three of her most iconic songs aptly reflect her spectacular but unfortunately short and ultimately tragic life Mera sundar sapna beet gaya which brought her to prominence seemed to presage her future Tadbeer se bigdi taqdeer proved that she was capable of much more than weepy songs or bhajans and Waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam seemed to echo Geeta Dutts later life If Meena Kumari was Hindi films tragedy queen and could not shake the tag off the screen then Geeta Dutt was her singing counterpart There were many uncanny points of resemblance between the two contemporaries who were born three years apart but departed the world around three months apart in the same yearFittingly Geeta Dutts swan song was for Meena Kumari Na jao saiyan churha ke baiyan in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam 1962 where both proved that they were unmatched in portraying hapless pathos and let down by those they adoredGeeta Dutt was born Geeta Ghosh Roy Chowdhuri into a wealthy Zamindar family in what is now Bangladesh on this day November 23 in 1930 However her family left all this behind in the early 1940s and moved to Calcutta and then Bombay It was in the latter place that a man passing her house heard her crooning in her room and was overwhelmed by her voice He met her parents and convinced them to get her to learn musicShe made her singing debut in Hindi films in 1946 when composer Hanuman Prasad gave her a few lines in songs of his mythological film Bhakta Prahlad and went on to do almost 10 films that year including Chetan Anands Neecha Nagar whose music was scored by Pandit Ravi Shankar She impressed S D Burman who chose her for Do Bhai 1947 though producer Chandulal Shah was sceptical of her ability till he heard her sing He was so captivated by her velvety voice with the multiple emotional layers that spoke straight to the heart that he signed her on the spotThe plaintive Mera sundar sapna from this film brought Geeta Dutt to fame and she went on to sing for an average of 30 films each in the next two years under the batons of Ghulam Haider Anil Biswas Chitragupt C Ramchandra Sajjad Hussain S D Batish HusnlalBhagatram Naushad Roshan Hemant Kumar Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and othersA high point was Tu Mera Chand Main Teri Chandni from Dillagi 1949 where she sang for Suraiya the sole surviving singing superstar of Hindi filmsGeeta Dutt left a marked impression on connoisseurs and commoners alike with the rare sensitivity and restrained anguish she rendered Meeras bhajans like Ghunghat ke pat khol Main to Girdhar ke ghar jaon Mein to prem diwani and Mat ja mat ja jogi her own personal favourite in Jogan 1950 and Jai Jagdish hare in Anandamath 1952S D Burman then gave her a makeover with Tadbeer se bigdi taqdeer from Baazi 1951 converting a ghazal into a jazzy cabaret number and Geeta Dutt went to showcase how her forte also ranged to foottapping songsBaazi was a gamechanger for her in more ways for it was here that she met her future husband the films upcoming director Guru Dutt and they got married in 1953Her career also flourished as music directors like O P Nayyar Madan Mohan and Ravi began choosing her for upbeat songs She would go on to sing over 1400 songs in more than 250 films displaying a lilting playfulness verging on impishness a brief hint of calibrated coquetry but above all an undefinable appeal to the listenerHer songs are still fresh take Babuji dheere chalna or duet Mohabbat kar lo from Aar Paar 1954 Jaane kahan mera jigar gaya ji Thandi hawa kaali ghata and Udhar tum haseen ho from Mr amp Mrs 55 1955 Jaata kahaan hai dewaane and Ankhon hi ankhon mein from CID 1956 Ae dil mujhe bata de from Bhai Bhai 1956 the Baul musicimbued Aaj sajan mohe ang lagalo Jaane kya tune kahi or waltz Hum aap ki aankhon mein Pyaasa 1957 and Mera naam chin chin chu Howrah Bridge 1958 among othersHowever the dream soon soured an insecure Guru Dutt not only tried to restrict her to his own productions but also engaged in an affair with a leading lady that drove her into a vortex of despair and made her turn to drinksThen his accidental deathsuicide in 1964 and the debts he left forced Geeta Dutt to do stage shows to sustain herself and her family but the tensions and consequent health problems led to her untimely demise in 1971 aged only 41Tum rahe na tum hum rahe na humVikas Datta can be contacted at vikasdiansin IANS

Madras Music Academy from presenting the Sangita Kalanidhi M S Subbulakshmi Award to celebrated musician T M Krishna This year the Sangita Kalanidhi Award has been conferred upon T M Krishna in recognition of his sustained excellence throughout a long career in Carnatic musicHowever Justice Jayachandran of the Madras High Court in an interim order ruled that while the award could be presented it must not be in the name of M S SubbulakshmiThe court issued the interim order based on a suit filed by Shrinivasan grandson of late MS SubbulakshmiHe argued that conferring the award in her name contradicted her wishes and mandate The court dismissed an application by the Music Academy challenging the suitIn his order Justice Jayachandran observed The best way to honour a departed soul is to honour and respect her wishes not to disrespect them If any person truly reveres and regards MS Subbulakshmi after knowing her desires and mandate they should not continue to present an award in her nameShrinivasan who resides in Bengaluru had approached the court contending that presenting the Sangita Kalanidhi M S Subbulakshmi Award to T M Krishna was inappropriateHe compared this act to bestowing a Bhakti award upon an atheist Shrinivasan cited past instances where Krishna allegedly referred to Subbulakshmi as the greatest hoax of the twentieth century and a saintly Barbie dollHe argued that such statements caused distress to Subbulakshmis family and made conferring the award upon Krishna paradoxical given his critical stance on her legacyThe award instituted by a newspaper group along with Madras Music Academy to honour the late stalwart has been presented annually to the Sangita Kalanidhi selected by the Music AcademyThe Academy clarified that the recipient is chosen transparently and Subbulakshmis family had not raised any objections since the awards inceptionHowever Shrinivasan maintained that Krishnas past remarks disqualified him from being an appropriate recipient of an award in Subbulakshmis nameThe court has adjourned further hearings in the case IANS

https://dailyworld.in/music/zamane-ko-dikhana-hai-majrooh-sultanpuris-lengthy-and-paradoxical-career-in-hindi-films-576840.html New Delhi Oct 1 His lyrical exploits in Hindi films spanned over half a century starting from KL Saigal to the Khan trio but were versatile prodigious and paradoxical the pathosfilled Jab dil hi toot gaya was penned when he was in his 20s while frothy numbers like Papa kehte hai Pehla nasha Pehla khumar and Janam samjha karo that entranced teenagers when he was in his 70s Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote nearly 4000 songs for around 350 Hindi films and was also a familiar name for radio listenersAt one end are sublime creations like ghazals Shaamegam ki qasam aaj gamgin hain ham Footpath and Rahte the kabhi jinke dil mein Mamta the evergreen Rahen na rahen ham Mamta or Hai apna dil to awara Solva Saal the softly sensual Baahon mein chale aao Anamika or Raat akeli hai bujh gaye diye Jewel Thief the pensive Rahii manva dukh ki chinta kyun satati hai Dosti dapper Dev Anands Khwab ho tum yaa koi haqeeqat Teen Deviyan the heartfelt Tumne mujhe dekha ho kar mehrbaan Teesri Manzil and the haunting Hamen tumse pyar kitna Kudrat among othersThere were crowdpleasers like O haseena zulfon wali jaanejahan and Aa jaa aa jaa main hoon pyaar tera Teesri Manzil Chhorh do aanchal zamaana kya kahega Paying Guest Chura liya hai tumne jo dil ko Yaadon Ki Baraat Aaj main oopar aasmaan neeche Khamoshi Piya tuu ab to aa jaa Caravan Laal laal gaal Mr X modern qawwalis like Haal kya hai dilon ka na puchho sanam Anokhi Ada and Hai agar dushman zamana Ham Kisi Se Kam Nahi and the kotha song Inhi logon ne le lina dupatta mera Pakeezah which is risque without being vulgar and made good use of the earthy but expressive idiom of his native AwadhiAnd then there are the superficially triteseeming like C A T cat cat maane billi Dilli ka Thug Babu samjho ishaare hauran pukaare pam pam pam Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi Saala main to saahab ban gaya Sagina the raunchy remix favourite Bangle ke peeche teri beri ke neeche better known from its interjection Kaanta laga Samadhi Pallo latke re mharo pallo latke Naukar Daddy se puchh lena Guddu and the likeBut this paradox permeated the personal professional and political life of Asrarul Hasan Khan Majrooh Sultanpuri who was born this day October 1 in 1919 His education was traditional but it is unclear whether this was due to his policeman fathers distrust of modern studies or their financial condition This was the first paradox while wellversed in Arabic and Persian he made free use of English words in the songs he wrote for Bollywood more than any of his peersThe second paradox was that despite his traditional education he became a committed communist and a member of the Progressive Writers AssociationThen thirdly he trained as an Unani hakim in Lucknow and began to practice there but for his poetic takhallus chose a word which means wounded Simultaneously he began his poetic stint participating in local mushairas where he made a mark for himself and more importantly came to the attention of Ali Sikandar Jigar Moradabadi who made him a protegeAnd then while he would go to jail for his communist beliefs in independent India along with Balraj Sahni for refusing to write an apology that would let him off he along with fellow committed revolutionary Faiz Ahmed Faiz disobeyed the orders of their Communist bosses to abandon the ghazal which was a feudal remnant and unsuited to articulating class consciousness The duo also managed to convince the leadership that this form could feature a new idiom and imagery without losing its lyrical natureHis film career was not preordained He was participating in a mushaira in Bombay in 1945 when impressed producer AR Kardar approached him to write film lyrics but was rebuffed However the determined Kardar would not let go and sought the intervention of Jigar who convinced his protege that this career would help support his familyMajrooh then impressed Naushad a poet himself and a fairly wellestablished music composer by then to get his break with Saigals Shahjahan 1946 This launched a career that only ended with his passing away in 2000 with Majrooh outliving and outperforming his peers like Sahir Ludhianvi Shakeel Badayuni and ShailendraHe also became the first lyricist to be conferred the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1993 it was only in 2013 that Gulzar became the second On the other hand he received just a sole Filmfare Award for Chahunga main tujhe from DostiVikas Datta can be contacted at vikasdiansin IANS

https://dailyworld.in/music/transforming-a-ghazal-into-a-cabaret-song-and-other-feats-of-sd-burman-576842.html New Delhi Oct 1 Urdu poet Sahir Ludhianvi who had just begun writing lyrics for Hindi films was taken aback when he found his ghazal with a motif of motivation and redemption had been transformed into a sizzling for its time cabaret song He remonstrated with the music composer but SD Burman stood firm Ultimately the poet had to settle for seeing his cherished creation rendered in the composers desired way by the talented Geeta Dutt and picturised on a perky guitarplaying Geeta Bali pirouetting around a rather cagey Dev Anand Not only was the jazzedup song and the film among the first of Hindi filmss excursion into noir a hit but it was a makeover for the singer who had so far been typecast as only good for bhajans and tearful songsSahir was not the only film figure that Sachin Dev Burman born on this day October 1 in 1906 joined issue with He also locked horns with the legendary filmmaker Bimal Roy over a song in Bandini 1963Poet and filmmaker Gulzar once recalled that when he met Roy for the first time after a common friend recommended him for writing he found him a bit irritated The music composer was also there but sitting in a corner and there was undeniable tension in the airWhat it boiled down to was the situation of the song Mora Gora Ang Lai Le Burman wanted the actress Nutan to go outside her house to sing it and Roy opposed it saying that no sheltered woman would leave her home alone after dusk to sing Burman countered that she could scarcely sing it before her father but Roy said that he had recited it to her and she could reciprocate At this the composer who was getting heated up too said that they did not need a poem recital but a song which would be stifled inside the home and if he didnt get his way he would not compose for itUltimately they arrived at a compromise and Nutan went out to the balcony of the house to singAll the incidents go to show how Burman who made his name both in the Bengali and Hindi film worlds had an unerring instinct for his art exemplified by the unforgettable but varied music he gave for a host for iconic Hindi filmsTaxi Driver 1954 Devdas 1955 Pyaasa both 1957 Solva Saal Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi both 1958 Sujata Kaagaz Ke Phool both 1959 Kala Bazar 1960 Teen Devian Guide both 1965 Jewel Thief 1967 Aradhana 1969 Abhimaan 1973 Chupke Chupke Mili both 1975 and their range of immortal songs are among his priceless legaciesThese films may have starred Ashok Kumar Amitabh Bachchan Dilip Kumar Dharmendra Rajesh Khanna Madhubala Meena Kumari Vyjayanthimala Waheeda Rehman Sharmila Tagore Hema Malini but Dev Anand and Guru Dutt especially but it was the music that kept them alive in public memoryAnother reason for this was his approach Santoor maestro Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma who used to be a part of his inhouse musicians once revealed that he had a methodical way wanting to understand what the film was what was the situation the actors and the director and only then think about its musicBurman also did not like heavy orchestration or classical overtones in his music which accounts for its lightness and freshness The first he considered overkill and the second he maintained had no place in film music which could be serious without using it as he showed in Devdas and PyaasaBut he always gave his work his full attention Accomplished singer Manna Dey recalled in his autobiography how Burman used to drop into his house in whatever garb he was in to seek a response to what he had composedAnd Burman had a wry sense of humour Sharma recalled that at one intense musical discussion the composer paid no attention to a plate of a dozen rasgullas a visitor from Calcutta had brought However flautist Hari Prasad Chaurasia with whom the santoor maestro would later tie up for film composition under the name ShivHari ended up gobbling all trusting that Burman was oblivious of his theftHowever when Charausia performed exceptionally well at a rehearsal the next day Burman told him that it was inevitable that his melodies would be sweet after all you ate a dozen of my rosgullasHe had three other legacies before his untimely death in 19875 a handful of songs in his voice including O re manjhi Wahan kaun hai tera and Doli mein bithaye ke kahar his equally gifted son RD Burman and his name gracing the greatest modern Indian cricketer as Sachin Tendulkars father was a big fanVikas Datta can be contacted at vikasdiansin IANS

expressive language to fashion magic in thousands of songs she rendered for a gamut of talented music composers and lyricistsLet us revisit this superlative voice of Lata Mangeshkar through the immortal songs that she sang for divas of the silver screen down the ages though this effort can be highly subjectiveDo we choose the pensive Zindagi Bhar Nahi Bhoolegi Woh Barsaat ki Raat or the daring Pyar Kiya to Darna Kya for Madhubala the soothing Ghar Aaya Mera Pardesi or the carefree Panchi Banu Mast Phiru Mast Gagan Mein for Nargis the effervescent Mere Naseeb Mein Tu Hai Ki Nahi or Ae DileNadaan for Hema MaliniLets try for a dozen other sparkling starsMeena Kumari From Mohe Bhool Gaye Sawariya to Ajeeb Dastan Hai Yeh the combination of Meena Kumari and Lata has given several unforgettable melodies and Pakeezah their defining contribution While Inhi Logon Ne to Chalte Chalte can be contenders it is the challenging Thare Rahiyo that showcases both at their bestVyjanthimala The success of Bimal Roys supernatural Madhumati owes a lot to its music be it the duet Dil Tadap Tadap Ke or the folkloric Chad Gaya Paapi Bichua but it is the soothing yet haunting Aaja Re Pardesi that stands out for this dazzling danseuseSadhana The heroine who popularised a new hairstyle had Lata Mangeshkar to thank for the songs that showcased her cinematic prowess from the classical O Sajna Barkha Bahar Aayi to the haunting Mera Saaya Saath Hoga but it is a tossup between the wistful Lag Ja Gale and haunting Naine barse rimjhim rimjhimSuchitra Sen The doeeyed Bengali actress did just a few Hindi films but their songs stand out choose between Rahen Na Rahen Hum from Mamta or Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi Shikwa Nahi from AandhiNanda The graceful actress with her endearing eyes and expression also owes Lata Mangeshkar for the melodies that define her on the silver screen from Kis Liye Maine Pyaar Kiya to Allah Ishwar Tero Naam but it is the sensuous Yeh Samaa Yeh Samaa Hai Pyar Ka that takes the prizeWaheeda Rehman The elegant Waheeda Rehman owes a lot to Latas superlative voice from Kahin Deep Jale Kahin Dil to Rangeela Re but it is the exuberant and carefree Aaj Phir Zeene ki Tamanna Hai with that highpowered Kaaton se kheench ke yeh aanchal at the start that is the cornerstoneRekha While younger sis Asha Bhosle performed the best for Rekha in Umrao Jaan Lata Mangeshkar was not behind for the diva take your pick from O Pardesiya to Yeh Kahaan Aa Gaye Ham to Aaj Kal Paaon Zameen ParZeenat Aman The vivacious Westernised Zeenat was also well served by Asha Bhosle Dum Maaro Dam but Lata Mangeshkar wove magic for the actress in a rare deglamourised appearance in the eponymous title song of Satyam Shivam SundaramDimple Kapadia As this gifted actress ventured into some rather offbeat movies after her comeback take your pick between Yaara Seeli Sili from Lekin to Dil Hoom Hoom Kare from RudaaliMadhuri Dixit Almost four decades younger Madhuri Dixit still found Lata Mangeshkar to be her perfect voice as Didi Tera Devar Deewana shows But it is that exuberant Dil to Paagal Hai that shows Lata nearly a septuagenarian then still had an evergreen voice as besides Madhuri she sang for the even younger Karisma Kapoor tooKajol Yeh Dil Tum Bin Nahi Lagta had Lata singing for Tanuja in 1968 and over a quarter century later she was as fresh as she sang Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye for Tanujas daughter Kajol in the landmark Dilwale Dulhaniya Le JaayengePreity Zinta When you mix legends like AR Rehman and Lata it can only result in sheer enchantment and Preity Zinta proved it beyond doubt with Jiya Jale from Dil SeVikas Datta can be contacted at vikasdiansin IANS

in the film I couldnt understand the language or its metre his metre is entirely different from the patterns that we work on in cinemaIn the video RD Burman recollected telling Gulzar We cant work like this Gulzar then told him to try something and he assured the composer to do it differentlyHe said We then sat one day and somehow cracked the song Eventually we created mukhda I then told him Now you have to write the antra as per the mukhda and its metre This is where he gets stuck He goes home sits on it then calls me This is not happening But our perseverance makes way for good songs see Aandhi has such good songsGulzar and R D Burman often would bicker over lyrics in the songs another instance of this is the making of the song Mera Kuch Samaan sung by Asha Bhosle from the film
