Raj Kapoor & His Sangam Writer Had A Massive Showdown On The Night Of The Release. (Photo Credit – Youtube)
It was the year 1964 when Raj Kapoor delivered the highest-grossing film of the year. A love triangle that was cherished for years and is still considered a classic – Sangam. The film starred Vyjayanthimala and Rajendra Kumar in the lead roles, along with the showman himself.
Helmed by Rk himself, Sangam was released on June 19, 1964, and a major showdown happened on the night of the release when the entire cast was together to celebrate a successful opening. However, none contemplated what transpired that night – A massive showdown, a slap, and an ugly consequence!
Sangam was written by Inder Raj Anand, and while everyone was enjoying the success party, Raj Kapoor and Inder were engrossed in a heated argument. Before anyone could realize the cause of this heated discussion, all they could witness was a tight slap!

Mumbai, Aug 30 (Ians) Writer K.A. Abbas did not take much notice of the nondescript-looking man accompanying Raj Kapoor to his house to hear the story for a film.
After listening quietly to the over two-hour-long rendition, this man only said that it was a good story. Is that all, asked Kapoor noticing the bemused Abbas.
“Gardish mein hoon, aasman ka taara hoon,” he then responded.
Abbas, taken aback, told Kapoor that he had spent two-and-a-half hours telling his story and his unknown visitor had perfectly summarised it in one phrase.
The “nondescript man” was Shailendra, whose 100th birth anniversary falls today (August 30). Just one film old at this meeting, he would go on to become Hindi cinema’s most exemplary, innately-gifted yet self-effacing lyricist, whose songs like “Awaara hoon”, “Mera joota hai Japani”, and “Hothon pe sachai rehti hai” that made Indian film music popular across the world.

Aadil Jaipuri is the grandson of legendary lyricist Hasrat Jaipuri, whose most notable works have been the evergreen ‘Badan pe sitare lapete hue’, ‘Zindagi ek Safar Hai Suhana’, ‘Jaane Kahan gaye woh din’, ‘Sun sahiba sun’, ‘Baharon Phool barsaao mera Mehboob aaya Hai’ and many more. Hasrat Jaipuri’s beautiful words along with music by famous composers Shankar-Jaikishan produced many iconic tracks for the greatest showman of Indian cinema – Raj Kapoor.
Famous as a child artist for 13 years, Aadil Jaipuri, a talented actor and a trained dancer, aims at returning to the silver screen as a lead artist.
“I was too young when my grandfather passed away but I have had the exposure to the legacy that he left behind. I believe, I subconsciously picked up my calling towards the field of arts ever since then,” said Aadil.

A tabla player with a prominent theatrical troupe, he went on to partner with a harmonium player to create – and guide – the duo that seamlessly melded the strains of Indian classical and popular music with Western melodies to create an array of immortal tunes for films starring titans, from Raj Kapoor to Shammi Kapoor to Rajesh Khanna.
Shankar-Jaiskishan was not the first duo to give music for Hindi films – that signal honour went to their own ustads Husnlal-Bhagatram – but they were the most successful, right from their first venture in 1949, down till the dawn of the 1970s.
Going just by the metric of Filmfare Awards, their record of the most Best Music Awards (nine) stood for nearly four decades till A R Rahman picked up his 10th in 2012. And though they were runners-up in most nominations (20), behind Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s 25, 10 of their nominations were in consecutive years since 1959.

Raj Kapoor’s naive innocence, as seen in “Mera joota hai Japani” to “Sab kuch seekha hamne”, Dilip Kumar’s restrained sorrow in “Toote hue khwabon” or “Yeh mera diwanapan hai”, Shammi Kapoor’s exuberant ebullience in “Chahe koi mujhe jungli kahe”, or Dev Anand’s cheerful jauntiness in “Khoya khoya chand” to “Gaata rahe mera dil” — all owe their origin to one man.
One of Hindi cinema’s most inspired, capable yet self-effacing wordsmiths, acknowledged duly by his peers — Raj Kapoor called him his “Pushkin” — and seen as inspiration by a later generation of lyricists, especially Gulzar, Shailendra, born Shankardas Kesarilal on this day (August 30) in 1923, left an indelible impact on film songs.
His oeuvre may not even add up to four figures in a career cut short by his untimely death, but in the span of a decade and half, his richness of thought entwined with an endearing...
