Abhi Na Parda Giraao_ Movie: Shaque

Vasant desai

Audio devices were often seen in art films where the filmmakers used them as a good excuse to play a music piece of a legendary artist ..They depicted the protagonists as lovers of music and played music that I feel they ( directors) enjoyed. I am reminded of a sequence in Bhumika where Amrish puri is listening to a Thumri when smita patil walks in. Another sequence is a cute one in Kitaab where Uttam kumar is listening to Pt Ravi shankar when Master Raju walks in..He asks Raju. “Do you know who this is? .This is pt Ravi shankar, the world famous sitarist.”. Immediately sparks go off in Raju’s little brain- “Thats what I should do to get out if this school rut!. learn sitar!..”Ravi shankar ne sitar seekhne ke liye Geography thode hi padha hoga?!” he mumbles, pleased at his reasoning….and there are many more such examples. ..
In other instances filmmakers used audio devices to make songs seem real life..
And then in this sequence in Shaque this Kakaji is shown playing his recorded song to Shabana as he sings along…You can get a glimpse of the recording device at the begining.

vintage songs and details

कहते हैं किसी भी नयी चीज़ की बुनियाद पुराने से जुडी  होती है , ऐसा ही हमारे संगीत के साथ भी है . बहुत से कलाकार आये- गए और आज की तारीख में ‘इतिहास’ हो गए ,कुछ नाम शायद जगह पा गए ,और कुछ नाम अपनी अपनी गुमनामी में आज भी गुम हैं .ऐसी ही कुछ एक नामों का ,उनके काम के साथ थोड़ी बहुत जानकारी देती या कहें सहेजने की कोशिश करती ये पोस्ट .यहाँ दर्ज तमाम जानकारियाँ उन लोगों से हासिल की गयीं होंगी जिनका ‘रुझान’ /झुकाव ऐसे ही संगीत और लोगों से होगा .इसलिए इसमें कुछ कमियां ग़लतियां भी हो सकती है .पर फिर भी उदेश्य  नेक है ,यानी ‘अतीत’ हो चुके लोगों को पहचान दिलाने और दस्तक देने की एक छोटी सी पहल .

शुरुआत करते हैं  थोड़ी ‘धूम दाम‘ से 😉 : फिल्म – Dhoom Dhaam (1949) से के इस  गीत के साथ

———————————————————————————————————————————————————-Playback system was introduced by R C Boral in Calcutta in 1935 and in Bombay by Anil Biswas in 1937. By 1940 Play back system was very well accepted and well trenched in Hindi films. Each and every song was only by play back.ofcourse those actors/actresses who were singers themselves,were singing their own songs-but by playback only,and not by while shooting the scene.
