It was camaraderie at its best. The fact that it created a creative team par excellence was an added bonus. In the constantly changing and commercially demanding field of film music, words like ‘friendship’ and ‘loyalty’ carry little weight. There you have to ‘perform’ and you have to ‘deliver’. And when you do that then there is an issue called ‘Ego problems.’ When you look back in this light, at the association of composers Shankar-Jaikishan with lyricists Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri, you can’t help marveling about how this fabulous foursome could keep their personal and professional bonds intact over so many years in that challenging and notoriously fickle milieu and forge a creative partnership which brooked no real parallel. That unique bonding between two masters of music with two wizards of words is a golden page in the annals of Hindi film music.
And they came together ….
‘Barsaat’ ((1949) was the starting point for this foursome. How they met to form the most enduring musical partnership was an accident of fate and that accident was in a way masterminded by another artist called Raj Kapoor, a man with amazing creative talent and vision. How incensed Raj Kapoor fired his composer Ram Ganguly for trying to ‘sell off’ a ‘Barsaat’- tune to another producer and on the spot offered the stunned assistant Shankar, (who had actually composed that tune), the vacant post of composer and how Shankar made a passionate plea to also include his friend Jaikishan as his composer partner, are real-life events endowed with all bestseller pot-boiler elements of deceit, drama, and daring gallantry.
When Iqbal Hussain left his home- town Jaipur for Bombay in 1940, he had only a wish, a hasrat but that was just to find an odd job to make ends meet. Never did he have an inkling that he would get such fame as a film-songwriter and a new name to go with it - Hasrat Jaipuri. Initially, he worked as a bus conductor and even as a part-time toy-seller. He himself said, “I was quite illiterate except knowing something about Urdu shairi.” To satisfy his literary cravings he visited mushairas and recited poetry. His talent was spotted by Vishwa Mehra - Raj’s uncle who brought him into ‘Prithvi’ theatres. There Raj Kapoor got acquainted with him and used his lyrical ability for the first time in ‘Barsaat’. Hasrat wrote eight of the ten super-hit songs in that movie. In fact, the very first song he penned was Lata’s Jiya beqarar hai -the same song that led to the dramatic sacking of Ram Ganguly!
