Nothing comes to help Kishore Kumar and lyrics except those violins soaring like an unresting pang. Some wierd notes from synth matching tribal figures on screen, striking sticks on dhols, a beautiful bass flute flowing with rising sound of violins. In second interlude too, chorus and percussions sing the same mismatched saga. None except those mourn-like hums respond when his groans, Guitar, bongo and subtle sound of violins make it more and more numbing. Dharmendra has done a stupifying job by doing nothing! That lonesome lamp burning just besides him reveals his condition – a fancy glass outside covering a scorching fire inside. His pained eyes are not welling but gazing far back somewhere reluctantly. Can you imagine any other way to make it more poignant? “kitnee akeli thi woh.” feel of stark loneliness piercing straight. A single strum on guitar and 3 words all alone in Kishore’s voice. Calm notes of synthesiser wind it all up. But soon gushes back those weird chants which has hardly anything to do with the mood of the song! And how convincingly it flows throughout the song without affecting the emotions depicted in lyrics!! Who else could even think so?! Lord Pancham creates here an unprecedented, unexplored, mystic world of melody wherein all such contradictions blooming on same span making it ethereal and eternal.įor the first interlude, besides chorus, R.D.Burman has used some wonderful percussions synced with thumping tribal chants. That hum by chorus lifts the sadness in the air. You feel a silent sob when KK sings “par hum wafaaaa.”Īnd an exhausting helplessness in “kar na sake.” The pain peals more with the word – HARGIZ. Each of words is coming straight from heart with sea-full of emotions.
NONE in the world can replace this soulful voice here which takes over the song completely till the end. Little sound of flames coming from hundreds of burning fire lights. Those so weird but unforgettable chants – jhinga la la hum jhinga la la hum jhinga la la hum hurr hurr. In my opinion, this is the height of interpretation of the character by him particularly for this song! He reminds you once again that he is the same actor who did Anupama and Satyakam! Both the hearts endure vortexes of pinning past memories.ĭharmendra here startles you. He gets stumped when he finds his lost love Sheila ( Zeenat Aman) working there as Sir John’s personal assistant.
An uninvited, anonymous thief Kumar( Dharmendra) reaches there somehow and joins this deadning game. 135 crores which is kept safe in a bullettproof case surrounded by minefield and hundreds of armed guards. Sir John( Rex Harrison), a millionaire dying from cancer invites top thieves of world on a private island to steal his precious most asset, a ruby – Shalimar worth Rs. Picking a personal favourite which comes from a personal favourite voice – Kishore Kumar and so beautifully penned by Anand Bakshi. Songs composed by R D Burman were/are actually breaths of this movie. Reason? Of course, its mind blowing soundtrack. And Still! How Shalimar has been throbbing throughout the years in hearts of Indian mass. In spite of having quite an interesting plot and awesome starcast like Rex Harrison, Sylvia Miles, John Saxon from Hollywood and Dharmendra, Shammi kapur, Zeenat Aman, O P Ralhan from bollywood, both the versions got shattered so badly on box office.
HUM BEWAFA HARGIZ NA THE MOVIE
Movie was shot both in English and Hindi and released both in India and US together in 1978. Shalimar was one of the most expensive movies ever made of its time by our Gujarati filmmaker Krishna Shah who was working in Hollywood far earlier than Shekhar kapur started. Just like Agent 3694 – Kumar on mission “Shalimar”. yeah, and it’s not like that revelation we got only after Casino Royal! Men on mission are not machines as something is throbbing inside them too. This is my first mix so please be kind in your criticism.How much difficult it would be not to shed even a single tear when you feel like crying your heart out.! How dreadful it would be not to say a word when you need to shout out loud.! How devastating it would be to stay silent even if you are being gravely misunderstood and watching your world falling apart helplessly…Īny ‘007’ too has a heart, he feels, he too loves, he too weeps as he is a human. The “Jhingalala Hurr” may have been a requirement for the movie but it mars the song terribly in my humble opinion. This is one of my fav caper movies (Bollywood hardly makes any) and i was itching to recut this song for such a long time. Pehle fida kar na sake Kya baat hai tumhari Kumar ! Jise baatein banane ke siva kuch nahin aata
