Main pal do pal ka shaayar hoon by Sahir Ludhyanvi

Movie: Kabhi Kabhi (1976)
Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi
Music: Khaiyyam
Singer: Mukesh
Producer/Director : Yash Chopra

This one was recommended by many visitors but I was not much thrilled about this particular song. However, after listening closing it reveals the true voice of the shayar, Shahir Ludhiyanvi, himself. The movies is also believed to be made in his personal life.

***
Kal nayi kunple footengi,’
Kal naye phool muskurayenga,
Aur naye ghass ki nayi farsh par,
Naye paaon ithlaayenge,

Woh mere beech nahi aaye,
Mein unke beechme kyun aaoon,
Unki soobha aur shamona ka,
Mein ek bhi lamha kyon paaoon

Main pal do pal ka shaayar hoon
Pal do pal meri kahaani hai
Pal do pal meri hasti hai
Pal do pal meri jawaani hai

Mujhse pehle kitne shaayar
Aaye aur aakar chale gaye
Kuchh aahein bharkar laut gaye
Kuchh naghme gaakar chale gaye
Woh bhi ek pal ka kissa thhey
Main bhi ek pal ka kissa hoon
Kal tumse juda ho jaaoonga
Woh aaj tumhaara hissa hoon
Main pal do pal ka..

Kal aur aayenge nagmon ki
Khilti kaliya chunne waale
Mujhse behtar kehne waale
Tumse behtar sunne waale
Kal koi mujhko yaad kare
Kyoon koi mujhko yaad kare
Mashroof zamaana mere liye
Kyoon waqt apna barbaad kare
Main pal do pal ka..

***
कल नई कुंपले फूटेंगी ,
कल नए फूल मुस्कुराएंगे,
और नए घास की नई फर्श पर,
नए पांव इठ्लाएंगे,

वह मेरे बीच नही आए,
में उनके बीचमे क्यों आऊँ,
उनकी सुबह और शामों का,
में एक भी लम्हा क्यों पाऊँ

मैं पल दो पल का शायर हूँ
पल दो पल मेरी कहानी है
पल दो पल मेरी हस्ती है
पल दो पल मेरी जवानी है

मुझसे पहले कितने शायर
आए और आकर चले गए
कुछ आहें भरकर लौट गए
कुछ नगमे गाकर चले गए
वह भी एक पल का किस्सा थे
मैं भी एक पल का किस्सा हूँ
कल तुमसे जुदा हो जाऊंगा
वह आज तुम्हारा हिस्सा हूँ
मैं पल दो पल का …

कल और आयेंगे नगमों की
खिलती कलियाँ चुनने वाले
मुझसे बेहतर कहने वाले
तुमसे बेहतर सुनने वाले
कल कोई मुझको याद करे
क्यूं कोई मुझको याद करे
मशरूफ ज़माना मेरे लिए
क्यूं वक्त अपना बरबाद करे
मैं पल दो पल का ..

Heyy Babyy : A review

While watching the trailer of the movie it becomes clear that it has been ‘inspired’ from the Hollywood movie “Three men and a baby”. However the director Sajid Khan denies that his movie is based on any such movie. Well, there is nothing wrong to take inspiration from something, but it is hard to improve.

Despite the denial, the story goes parallel to the Hollywood movie with additions of some music numbers.

Aroush (Akshay Kumar), Ali (Fardeen Khan) and Tanmany (Ritesh Deshmukh) are having all the fun a bachelor would have till someone drops a baby girl at their door step with a note. Each of them denies to be father of the baby. Being unexperienced in raising a small child they face difficulty to look after the baby. After unsuccessful efforts to find the mother of the baby, they try to get rid her. But with a life threatening accident to the baby, their hearts change and they start loving the baby and enjoy her company. When the three men are settled, her mother (Vidya Balan) , a former lover of Aroush , turns up and gets the hold of the child. The three men make various attempts to get the her back with the mother and eventually everyone unites and lives happily.

Sajid Khan being the director and looking to the plot of the movie, a comic relief was heavily expected, but the movie fails to deliver much. Most of comedy scenes are physical comedy and dual meaning dialogs. Akshay Kumar is an established actor in comedy, as he has proved his metal under the direction of Priyadarshan but he is not at his par performance.

There are some comic relief the trio try to provide , here and there , but nothing for stomach holding laughs. Boman Irani, another talented actor, and I always found it disturbing that directors waste him for overacting. Vidya Balan is okay as she has nothing much to do. There was some gimmicks for the promotion of movie by shooting some 21 actresses in one song, you will be hardly able to recognize few of them. Then there is overacting Anupam Kher and Shahrukh Khan in special appearances for no reason at all. There is nothing special about the musical numbers and are easily forgotten.

In my view the movie fails to entertain for the money one may spend on it. I would stay at home and watch the re-run of Mr. Bean on Pogo.

Dekha Ek Khwaab To Silsile Hue by Lata and Kishore

Movie : Silsila (1981)
Lyrics : Javed Akhtar
Artiste : Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar

Its eternal truth that to achieve goal one must dream, one needs have to have a dream. Javedsaab has woven the fact poetically.

***
Dekha Ek Khwaab To Yeh Silsile Hue
Door Tak Nigahon Mein Hain Gul Khile Hue
Yeh Gila Hai Aapki Nigahon Se
Phool Bhi Ho Darmiyaan To Faasle Hue
Dekha Ek Khwaab…

Meri Saanson Mein Basi Khushboo Teri
Yeh Tere Pyaar Ki Hai Jadugari
Teri Aawaz Hai Havaaon Mein
Pyar Ka Rang Hai Phizaaon Mein
Dhadkanon Mein Tere Geet Hain Mile Hue
Kya Kahun Ke Sharm Se Hain Lub Sile Hue
Dekha Ek Khwaab…

Mera Dil Hai Teri Panaahon Mein
Aa Chhupa Loon Tujhe Maein Baahon Mein
Teri Tasveer Hai Nigaahon Mein
Door Tak Roshni Hai Raahon Mein
Kal Agar Na Roshni Ke Kaafile Hue
Pyar Ke Hazaar Deep Hain Jale Hue
Dekha Ek Khwaab…
***
देखा एक ख्वाब तो यह सिलसिले हुए
दूर तक निगाहों में हैं गुल खिले हुए
यह गिला है आपकी निगाहों से
फूल भी हो दरमियाँ तो फासले हुए
देखा एक ख्वाब…

मेरी साँसों में बसी खुशबू तेरी
यह तेरे प्यार कि है जादूगरी
तेरी आवाज़ है हवाओं में
प्यार का रंग है फिजाओं में
धडकनों में तेरे गीत हैं मिले हुए
क्या कहूँ के शर्म से हैं लुब सिले हुए
देखा एक ख्वाब…

मेरा दिल है तेरी पनाहों में
आ छुपा लूं तुझे में बाहों में
तेरी तस्वीर है निगाहों में
दूर तक रौशनी है राहों में
कल अगर न रौशनी के काफिले हुए
प्यार के हजार दीप हैं जले हुए
देखा एक ख्वाब…

Kyun zindgi shikava gila(Kar salaam) from A life in metro

Movie : Life in a metro (2007)
Song : Kyun jindgi shikava gila (Kar salaam) Lyrics :
Music : Pritam Chakraborty

This song also displays the same spirit of the classic Zindgi pyar ka geet hai , with just a difference of fast beats and playful tone.

***
Kyun zindagi se ho shikava gila ,
yeh hasati hai roti hai, jo bhi hai jaisi hai
jo bhi yeh deti hai woh hai tera.
kar salaam….

Nakhre utha isake nakhre utha,
haan dhoop bhi hai yeh, chhaanv bhi hai yeh
jo bhi yeh deti hai, tu maan ja
kar salaam…..

Kho jaana, pa jaana, na paana, hai jindagi jaane le
bik jaana, loot jaana, bass jaana hai jindagi maan le
karle yakin, jo kal gaya woh phir se aata nahin
gujra huva jo waqt hai woh dastak lagaata nahin
jo aaj hai bass wahi hai tera

Kya teri hasti hai, mitti ki basti hai
pal mein hi ho jaati hai yeh fanaa
kar salaam
****
क्यों ज़िंदगी से हो शिकवा गीला ,
यह हसती है रोती है, जो भी है जैसी है
जो भी यह देती है वह है तेरा.
कर सलाम….

नखरे उठा इसके नखरे उठा,
हाँ धुप भी है यह, छाँव भी है यह
जो भी यह देती है, तू मान जा
कर सलाम…..

खो जाना, पा जाना, ना पाना, है जिंदगी जाने ले
बिक् जान, लूट जान, बस जाना है जिंदगी मान ले
करले यकीं, जो कल गया वह फिर से आता नहीं
गुजरा हुवा जो वक़्त है वह दस्तक लगाता नहीं
जो आज है बस वही है तेरा

क्या तेरी हस्ती है, मिटटी कि बस्ती है
पल में ही हो जाती है यह फना
कर सलाम

In dino dil mera from Life in a metro

Movie : Life in a metro (2007)
Song : In dino dil mera
Lyrics :
Music : Pritam Chakraborty

It is amusing to see more often then not, people are to be told, has to be motivated to love. We find very easy to express negative emotions then positive one. Sometime people do not have grudges against others or society, but find hard to love oneself.

Probably if you are loving, you are more open and more vulnerable. Friends and relatives may say that people takes benefits of your benevolence. Therefore in fear of being vulnerable and not to allow anyone to take benefit people become hard, unuseful and stop living.

I like the emotions of this song very much.

***
In dino, dil mera, mujhse hai keh raha , tu khaab saja, tu ji le jara,
hai tujhe bhi izaazat, karle tu bhi muhabbat.

Berang si hai badi zindagi kuchh rang to bharoon,
main apani tanahaayi ke waaste ab kuchh toh karoon.

Jab mile thodi fursat, khudse karle muhabbat
hai tujhe bhi izaazat, karle tu bhi muhabbat

Usako chhupaakar main sabse kabhi le chaloon kahin door…
aankhon ke pyaalon kse pita rahoon usake chehre ka noor.

Iss jamaane se chhupakar , puri karloon main hasrat
hai tujhe bhi izaazat, karle tu bhi muhabbat.

***
इन दिनों, दिल मेरा, मुझसे है कह रह , तू ख़ाब सजा , तू जी ले जरा,
है तुझे भी इजाज़त, करले तू भी मुहब्बत.

बेरंग सी है बड़ी ज़िंदगी कुछ रंग तो भरून,
मैं अपनी तनहाई के वास्ते अब कुछ तो करूं.

जब मिले थोडी फुरसत, खुदसे करले मुहब्बत
है तुझे भी इजाज़त, करले तू भी मुहब्बत

उसको छुपाकर मैं सबसे कभी ले चलूँ कहीं दूर…
आंखों के प्यालों कसे पिता रहूँ उसके चेहरे का नूर.

इस जमाने से छुपाकर , पूरी करलूं मैं हसरत
है तुझे भी इजाज़त, करले तू भी मुहब्बत.

Who will be the next president of India?

144089th person I was, when I signed the petition to increase the tenure of our present President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at http://www.petitiononline.com/apj/ . I like his simplicity and love for children. He can really dream , and has power to bring the dreams into reality. He is more interested in the children, students in whom he sees the future of India. He has vowed to address at least 1,00,000 students every year during his tenure, and probably he has always exceeded the number.

There are other possible contenders for the post of President. Other then political favourites, one name is of N R Narayana Murthy, the Mentor and one of the founder of Infosys. He is also undeniably one of the most competen and desired person along with APJ Abdul Kalam for the President. APJ is scientist and visionary , NR is intellectual and entrepreneur and that too with ethical practice.

In last rumour I read name of Amitabh Bachhan for the ‘hot-seat’ . Now, Amitabh is popular , infact more then the first two , because of his powerful presence in the bollywood, which he deserves well. But for the seat of President? Because he has neither become successful politician nor businessman, he is master entertainer that’s it.

Painfully, we are entitled to elect the goons as MP/MLA but not the president but thankfully the post is not election based , otherwise it would be easy for any politician to become the President of India, the most graceful seat.

All I can do is to express my desire. However, APJ has already declared that he believes that he should not run for the president seat for second time, therefore he will not.

Salaam-E-Ishq by Nikhil Advani : Review

I watched Salaam-E-Ishq on 26th January as I had nothing else to do. I was late, reached just five minutes before the show and therefore got front seat so I was grossly engrossed in the movie.

The movie shows six couples involved in the most sentimental emotion, love. This time I may not narrate the story because each couple has different story to tale. One is forgotten by his love, another is afraid to commit in love, next is bored with routine and looking for excitement, one is waiting for his dream love, one is confused with love and last one is unable to make love.

Yes, again one can point out similar Hollywood movie, Love Actually, there are many striking similarities, but better to say nothing and watch the Original Indian Movie.

The movie is not surprisingly half an hour longer than usual three hours, to cover all the stories. In the beginning it is difficult to understand each story, but by the end of first hour you probably recognise all the characters. In second hours the story progress but un-equally, one story is given more weight and another is mostly much left behind.

You can find Anil Kapoor without mustache and wonder if the movie might go flop. Juhi is good. Priyanka Chopra acts loudly as an item girl of bollywood, and Salman Khan is as usual in his style. Govinda does no wonder and suitable in taxi-wala role with Shannon Esra who looks adorable and provides good laugh with her efforts to learn Hindi. Akshya Khanna acts well and Ayesha Takia is okay. John Abrahm really acted and I enjoyed his acting, I think he should change his appearance as he has been too long with same hairstyle. And Vidya Balan is getting bolder, but not necessarily beautiful at same time. Sohil Khan tries to make you laugh with Isha Kopikar who has nothing to do in the movie.

The movie gives mix-dish to suit everyone’s choice of love. There are many comic and few good touching scenes. But sometime you left with wanting more.

Music numbers are enjoyable. Title song is good to hum. Adnani Sami sings Dil Kya Kare in his style. Saiyaan Re is item number and easily forgotten. Mera Dil is okay. Babuji Dhire Chalna is old meoldy performed on slow notes. Ye Rabba is sufi song ,by Kailash Kher ,matches the mood of the movie during the climax. Tenu Leke is playful song tailored for Salmaan.

The movie is enjoyable and 210 minutes were easily passed , but nothing extra ordinary.

Guru by Mani Ratnam : Review

 

Mani Ratnam and the disclaimer of the movie, both deny to have any resemblances with any person or incidents but once you see the movie you dont believe them.

Apparently the movie is based on the first business tycoon of India, Dhirubhai Ambani, once the movie begins you can’s stop comparing.

***spoiler ahead***
At the dawn of the independence of India young Gurukant Desai (Abhishek Bhachhan) ,of a small town of Gujarat, wants to leave India for Turkey for which his head-master father reluctantly agrees. In Turkey Guru has job of delivery boy at Burma Shell company. Guru can smell money anywhere, and in seven years he is promoted at Sales Supervisor, but he turns down the offer and decides to return his hometown and to start his own business.

While returning he meets Sujata (Aishwarya Rai) in train , where she is betrayed by a coward man who had turned up as they had decided to run away from their home because of their affair.

When Guru mentioned his idea of own business, his father rejects the idea as he had failed in his business and wants Guru to continue the service. However Guru refuses to give up his plan but main obstacles is shortfall of money for his business. He is desperate to raise some money and for that he agrees to marry his frinend’s sister as her father is giving good dowry for he is ashamed of his daughter, who turns out to be Sujata.

Eventually, Guru along with his wife and brother-in-law leave for Mumbai. Where he learns that to trade in cloth business he is required to have a letter of recommendation from ,Farzan Contractor(?) the president of the association. Guru after bitter experiences finds that the president of the association have monopoly over whom to allow to do business and whom to not. In his anger he meets with Manikdas Gupta(Mithun Chakarborthy), who is editor/owner of a newspaper and strong believer of honesty and integrity, prints the story of Guru and soon Guru is in business and he becomes mentor of Guru.

Guru , who don’t like to listen no, progress at rapid speed by hook or crook, which Contractors find threatening to their monopoly , and try to buy him out. Furious at that, Guru starts printing all kind of allegation against Contractor in the newspaper of Manikant , in the long absence of Manikant.

When Manikant returns and finds the improper means used by Guru against his rivals, he abandons him and asks to a young journalists Shyam Saxena (R. Madhvan) if he can expose Guru. Shyam starts his war against Guru by finding information of his illegal business activities, and sometime by creating false stories to print.

Meanwhile, Guru has made Shakti Corporation as one of the leading company with the supports of thousands of share holders and distributing the profits lavishly between them. One of the director of Shakti Corporation reveals , while giving interview to Shyam, that the company has imported factory machinery without permission and without paying custom and excise etc.

As soon as the news is public, the government appoint commission against Guru for all the offences from smuggling illegal machinery to raising his compny’s share using improper means.

He roars before the commission in the public hearing that he has not done anything illegal. What he wanted to do a business where he is good at and to do business why had to either beg or to kick to open the door of business and he did both when necessary begged or kicked. Eventually Guru is declared guilty only on two counts out of twenty six and ordered for some hefty penalty.

***

First thing first, the plot is very exciting, a story of rags to riches based on real time industrialist. Now see similarities between the character of the reel and real. Headmaster father, service as petrol delivery boy, at Burma Shell Company, shrewed business sense, business in clothes, eventually becomes the polyester prince, pioneer in taking support from share holders for capital, large share holder base , huge annual share holder meetings, attack of paralysis and have a good look at the logo of Shakti Corporation.

Mani Ratnam has taken pain with shooting periodical scenes and the movie is gripping. Abhishek is able carry the movie on his shoulder and Aishwarya Rai was as ever, stunning and stunned and has done decent role as supporting wife

Moral of the movie , as some says, is to manipulate everything for one’s own success. Ofcourse, we can argue out either way but looking to the other movies I am not as much concerned with what moral the movie conveys. But the movie could be more intensified by portraying struggles and ups and downs of the character.

Music number is not at par with the reputation of Raheman, only number I can hum is Barso re megha .. but overall the songs do not add much spice in the story rather distract the story.

Well, I enjoyed the movie but it , DEFINITELY , could have been better. It is one-time-see and you should see the movie to form your opinions.

Interesting article on Dhirubhai from Time

Hothhon se chhu lo tum by Jagjit Singh : English Translation

Album : Awaaz
Movie : Prem Geet (1981)
Artiste & Music : Jagjit Singh
Lyrics : Indivar

Beastly translation of a beautiful lyrics, from the request of J Arvinda. Buddy thats all what I could do, I hope you like it.

Please comment on with your suggestions.

****
1.
Hothhon se chhu lo tum meraa geet amar kar do,
ban jaao meet mere, meri preet amar kar do.

[touch my song with your lips, make it immortal,
be my beloved, make my love immortal]

2.
Na umr kee seemaa ho, naa janmon kaa ho bandhan
jab pyaar kare koi to dekhe kewal maan,
nayee reet chalaakar tum ye reet amar kar do

[No restriction of age, not the bond of lives,
when someone love should see only the soul,
by carving new trend, make the trend immortal]

3.
Aakaash kaa sunapan mere tanaha man me,
paayal zanakaatee tum aa jaao jeewan me
saanse dekar apani sangeet amar kar do.
sangeet amar kar do mera geet amar kar do.

[Loneliness of the sky is in my lone heart,
with rattleing paayal enter into my life,
by giving own breaths make the music immortal
make the music immortal, make my song immortal]

4.
Jag ne chhinaa muz se, muze jo bhee lagaa pyaaraa
sab jeetaa kiye muz se, main har pal hee haaraa
tum haar ke dil apanaa, meree jeet amar kar do

[World snatched from me, whatever was beloved to me,
all won from me, I lost at every moment,
by losing your heart you make my victory immortal]
****

Explanations (rather excuses) to the translation :

In the 3rd sher I have chosen soul for maan, as mind is not be looked into while in love.
