Sapan Chakraborty....continued

<<Loin peeking out of den to Saurav's call>>

Wonderful questions - am not sure I have the answers....but can
certainly share my take on your queries...

1. Admitted Pancham was of Bengali origin - however that does not make
him a literary expert. Pancham was more into his music and am sure fit
most lyrics to his tune.

It is not that Pancham did not have appreciation or liking for good
poetry - however he would also be inclined to repeat his success combos.

For instance, Pancham had admiration for Gulzar's words, treated Nida
Fazli and Yogesh's ditties with utmost care - he even gave Majrooh's
Urdu output the most modern touch. All the time there are enough
evidence that he certainly knew the good lyrics over the bad.

However, Pancham's success (commerical) was mostly with Anand Bakshi
and Majrooh - both lyricists strived to provide simple words.

IMO, the same would be the case in Bangla - although Pancham did work
with Gauriprasanna Majumdar, he probably had more success with Sapan C
as lyricist.

Also the Bangla albums were produced by music companies like HMV -
which meant the lack of a writer/director in the venture - someone who
had the vision for the literary output required. Its the same with
Pantera - I cringe when I hear the lyrics to some of the songs - so
banal and mushy-mushy.

Re: Rishi Kapur remembers RD

Abhijit,

I understand your point and agree with the gist of it
wholeheartedly....but kya kare...cannot just stop at
waah-waah...thought I had something to add...saary baas...aadat se
majboor :)

Damini - correct on the score that the producers pushed for NS. The
producers are the Morani Brothers and Sunil Soorma - the makers behind
Arjun, Dushmani, Yodha, Raja Hindusthani, etc.

I was always ticked off with them when they never repeated Pancham
after Arjun. I mean what the heck!!!! Arjun - success - with Pancham,
Rahul R, Sunny Deol and the producers.

Their next venture - Yodha - same team, Sunny, Rahul R, Moranis,
etc....lekin Boppi-da. This was like ghor-paap. Like some just stepped
into my mandir of expectations with muddy shoes.

I lost all respect for this banner when they drifted to Annu M, Nadeem
Shravan, whoever. I stopped caring!! (Loin imagined himself Arjun
Malwanker ;))

Once again I have to agree that Rajkumar Santoshi never had the sense
for music. I have written about this on an earlier posting. What can I
say...he visits Pancham with Mehmood to extract music for
Ghaatak...and he oks 'Nighaaon Ne Chedha Hai' ?? Pancham was raring to
go - he could have provided better with more time and encouragement.
Instead we get Maggi noodle!

Rules and Guidelines for the Pancham Group
==========================================

Please take some time to go through these tips, guidelines, and rules that we go by on our group. Many of them
are universal in nature and apply to most Internet forums. Internalize them now and you will thank us
later. 

1. The group is meant to discuss Pancham and his music. If you want to post or discuss something that is not
focussed on Pancham, find a relevant group. Or, you can use our sister yahoogroup 'Panchamfans'.  

2. Currently the group permits postings in either English or Hindi languages in either Roman or Devanagari
(Unicode) scripts. If you want to post material in any other language, please provide a Hindi or English
translation or summary of the text.

3. The most important rule of netiquette is "Think before you post". If what you intend to post will not make a
positive contribution to the group and be of interest to several readers, don't post it! Personal
messages to one or two individuals should not be posted to the group, use private e-mail instead. 

4. Read the group postings for a while before you post anything. This helps you to get an understanding of the
culture of the group. 

5. Don't post test messages - wait until you have something to say. 

6. Be careful with humor and sarcasm. Without the voice inflections and body language of personal
communications, it is easy for a remark meant to be funny to be misinterpreted. Subtle humor tends to get
lost, so take steps to make sure that people realize you are trying to be funny. When posting humorous or
sarcastic comments, it is conventional to append a smiley, but don't overuse them.

7. When following up an article, quote the *minimum* necessary to give some context to your reply and be

Re: Pancham da aur Satyan Kappu ji

Satyan Kappu sahaab ek mater aise actor hain jinohne Pancham da ke 
sath 50 films se jayada films mein kaam kiya hain. 

Good write up, Balwant ji...R.I.P Satyen Kappu

The one Pm song connection I can recall is "Jeevan mien tuu darna 
nai.n" from Khote Sikke, which IIRC was featured on both Papa (Satyen) 
and (his little boy who grows up to be) Feroze Khan, at various points 
in the film like e leitmotif.

Sapan Chakraborty continued

Hi Loin,

In the end, its all about the combination - in Hindi Film Industry,
people are generally quite superstitious and like to repeat successful
combos. And thus we have enough evidence of failed repeats, tepid
followups and uninspired Part-IIs. 

Some examples: Zamane Ko Dikhana Hai, Swami Dada, Samundar, etc.
------------------------------------------------

I wasn't sure what you meant by this; were the films tepid and 
uninspired, or the music, or both? I like the music of all three 
films. ZKDH had excellent music IMO.

Directors are known to have bloated king-maker egos. And MDs have 
this 
habit of taking too many assignments and getting busy.

Some examples: 
J Om Prakash signing up Pancham for Aap Ki Kasam - when LP proved
expensive/unresponsive. But once LP realised their mistake and
buttered their way back, J Om Prakash never signed Pancham (except 
for 
Aandhi) inspite of Aap Ki Kasam being a huge hit.
-----------------------------------------------------

In a recent interview to Screen J Omprakash (JO) spoke about his 
association with RD. They collaborated for the first time for RAJA 
RANI of which JO was the executive producer. This film was directed 
by Sachin Bhoumik, who insisted on RD, and JO agreed. This apparently

Re: Sapan Chakraborty continued

IIRC, Khawab has Ravindra Jain and not Bappi da as the
composer. Shakti Samanta tried Ravindra Jain for Khwab
and Ayaash.
