BIOGRAPHY :
A great charmer of Hindi language and literature, Lalji Pandey, was popularly known to all of us as Anjaan. Hailing from the Hindi heartland, Varanasi he participated in almost every gathering of hindi poets. Eventhough he used Urdu to the minimum he made his presence felt in every kavi-sammelans and mushairas. Use of Urdu language is a fashion in Indian Film Industry but Anjaan came up with his innovating new ideas and core hindi contemporary language for songs.
The Struggle
Anjaan got his first break with the 1953 Premnath production Prisoner Of Golconda where he wrote ‘Lehar Yeh Dole Koyal Bole’ and ‘Shaheedon Amar Hai Tumhari Kahani’. After this he remained fairly busy, but in small films. His only popular number was ‘Mat Poonch Mera Hai Mera Kaun Watan’ (Lambe Haath) with music by G. S. Kohli, with whom he did many small films. He was first noticed for his work with the Raaj Kumar film Godaan, based on the Premchand classic, with music by Pt. Ravi Shankar. This film got him a few good assignments in the mid - 60’s with big composers like O. P. Nayyar (‘Aap Ke Haseen Rukh’) in Guru Dutt’s Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi and G. P. Sippy’s Bandhan, which established him commercially with ‘Bina Badraa Ke Bijuriya Kaise Barse’. This also saw the forging with fellow lyricist Indeevar and composers Kalyanji - Anandji. This was followed by songs in Kalyanji - Anandji’s ‘Kab? Kyon? Aur Kahan?’. Shankar - Jaikishan’s Umang, Rivaaz and Ek Nari Ek Brahmachari, Ravi’s Vandana (‘Aap Ki Inaayat Aap Ke Karam’), R. D. Burman’s Hungama (‘Wah Ri Kismat’, ‘Suraj Se Jo Kiran Ka Naata’ which was the first ever song filmed on Zeenat Aman) and a few other films.
Struggle paid way to Success
And yet it took Anjaan many more years before he emerged as a very prolific writer who amalgamated a lot of his commercial songs with lyricism and poetry. He was at his best in the Amitabh Bachchan films of Kalyanji - Anandji, beginning with Do Anjaane (‘Luk Chhip Luk Chhip Jao Na’) in 1976.
Followed Hera Pheri (‘Barson Purana Yeh Yaarana’), Khoon Pasina (the title song and ‘Bani Rahe Jodi Raja Rani Ki’), Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (‘Rote Hue Aate Hain Sab’, ‘O Saathi Re’, ‘Pyar Zindagi Hai’, ‘Dil To Hai Dil’), Don with his biggest hit of the career ‘Khaike Paan Banaras Wala’, (‘Ee Hai Bambai Nagariya’, ‘Jiska Mujhe Tha Intezaar’), Laawaris (‘Jiska Koi Nahin’, ‘Kab Ke Bichhde’) and Jaadugar. He also wrote hits for Bachchan with other composers like Rajesh Roshan (Do Aur Do Paanch, Yaarana) Bappi Lahiri (Namak Halaal, Sharaabi) and R. D. Burman (Mahaan). His liaison with Prakash Mehra also yielded hits like Zindagi Ek Juaa, Dalaal and other films like Jwalamukhi, Ghunghroo, Mohabbat Ke Dushman, Muqaddar Ka Faisla, Imaandaar, Chameli Ki Shaadi and Himalay Se Ooncha.
Songs for the new generations
In the 80’s, he even emerged as the writer of choice for Mithun Chakravarty’s films like Disco Dancer and Dance Dance and struck a gold mine in the films of Bappi Lahiri, Shibu Mitra and B. Subhash. Among his hits with them were the songs of Aandhi Toofan, Ilzaam, Aag Hi Aag, Paap Ki Duniya and Tarzan.
His work with others was almost schizophrenically different, with songs like R. D. Burman’s ‘Yeh Faasle Yeh Duriyan’ (Zameen Aasman), ‘Laagi Lag Jaaye Logon’ (Poonam / Anu Malik), ‘Ganga Mein Dooba’ (Apne Rang Hazaar), ‘Meri Saanson Ko Jo’, ‘Na Jaane Kaise’ and ‘Woh Woh Na Rahe’ (Badaltey Rishtey, ‘Hamrahi Mere Humrahi’ (Do Dilon Ki Daastaan), ‘Yashoda Ka Nandlala (Sanjog), ‘Sadiyan Beet Gayi’ (Triveni) and the beautiful songs of Eeshwar (all these films were with Laxmikant - Pyarelal showing a poetic vein). Another major hit was Anu Malik’s breakthrough film Ek Jaan Hain Hum.
His health suffered a major setback in the early 90’s, though he delivered hits with Zindagi Ek Jua, Dalaal, Ghayal and the 1990 chartbuster ‘Gori Hain Kalaiyan’ (Aaj Ka Arjun) and his last hit Shola Aur Shabnam (1992). His other films in the 90’s included Vishnu Devaa, Parakrami, Insaniyat, Police Aur Mujrim, First Love Letter, Aandhiyaan, Phool Bane Angaarey and others.
In the 60’s, Anjaan also wrote several non - films albums composed by Shyam Sagar and sung by Mohammad rafi, Manna Dey (Mayurpankhi Sapney) and Suman Kalyanpur. Rafi’s song ‘Main Kab Gaata’ was a big hit then. Anjaan also entered the world of Bhojpuri films with the massive hit Balam Pardesia in the late 70’s. The song ‘Gourki Patarki Re’ became a rage and set the stage for many more films with a resurgent Chitragupta and laying the foundation for the personal - and later - professional liaison between their respective sons Sameer and Anand - Milind.
Ganga Tath ka Banjara
Anjaan was a very successful all - rounder for almost 20 years in Hindi films, but his poetry still had the colour of Bhojpuri language and the ethos and culture of Uttar Pradesh, the citadel of hindi. This is why, says Sameer. he could write ‘Khaike Paan’, ‘Bina Badra Ke Bijuriya’ and similar songs with great skill. His own favourites were his songs from Apne Rang Hazaar and Badaltey Rishtey and ‘Maano To Main Ganga Maa Hoon Maano To Behta Paani’ and ‘Chal Musafir’ from Ganga Ki Saugandh. A few months before his death on 13th September 1997, his only book of poems, Ganga Tath Ka Banjara (A Gypsy From The Shores Of The Ganga) was released at the hands of Amitabh Bachchan.
The Best of Anjaan
Song Movie
Aap Ke Hasin Rukh Pe Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi
Khaike paan banaras waala Don
Dil to hain dil dil kaa ayetabaar kyaa kije Muqaddar Ka Sikandar
Rote huye aate hain sab Mukaddar kaa Sikandar
O saathee re Muqaddar Ka Sikander
Pyaar jindagi hai Muqaddar Ka Sikander
Log Kehte Hain Maein Sharaabi Hoon Sharabhi
Kehna hi kya ye nein ik anjaan se jo mile Bombay

Gulzar
Gulzar was born as Sampooran Singh, on August 18, 1936. His birthplace was the town of Deena, which is now in Pakistan. The tumultuous events of the partition saw him shift base to Delhi, finding the climate in India more conducive to creative pursuit. He started as a poet and was associated with the Progressive Writers Association PWA.
Poet, Lyricist, Writer, Director - Gulzar is one of those sensitive people whose work is laced with the lyrical but psychologically adept examination of human sensibilities.
His career in the film industry began, like so many others, in a small way. He worked as an assistant to Bimal Roy, Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Hemant Kumar, learning the trade and honing his skills. His first break as lyricist came when he wrote Mora Gora Ang Lai Lae for Bimal Roy`s Bandini, 1963. He then began writing for films for directors like Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Asit Sen. Some of the films that Gulzar has written include Anand, 1970, Guddi, 1971, Bawarchi, 1972 and Namak Haram, 1973 for Hrishida and Do Dooni Char, 1968, Khamoshi, 1969 and Safar, 1970 for Asit Sen. All bore his trademark lyrics, elegant and sensitive. Recognition for his efforts was not long in coming.
Not yet completely satisfied with what he was doing in the film industry he soon began writing scripts, screenplays and drafted stories for films. Taking the big step, Gulzar turned filmmaker with Mere Apne in 1971.
Gulzar went on to make Parichay, 1972 and Koshish, 1972, a sensitive look at the travails of a deaf - dumb couple superbly played by Sanjeev Kumar and Jaya Bhaduri. With these films also began a mutually beneficial partnership with Sanjeev Kumar. The Gulzar - Sanjeev Kumar partnership resulted in such fine films as Aandhi, 1975, Mausam, 1975, Angoor, 1981 and Namkeen, 1982 and represent Sanjeev Kumar`s finest work as an actor. Aandhi ran into controversy due to Suchitra Sen`s role which was based on Indira Gandhi and was even banned for a while.
The 1980s and 1990s saw a decline in Gulzar the filmmaker even though films like Ijaazat, 1987, Lekin, 1990 and Maachis, 1996 had their moments. His last film to date Hu Tu Tu 1999 was a total misfire. However, Mirza Ghalib 1988 a TV serial made on the great poet`s life and starring Naseeruddin Shah as Ghalib was a landmark in the history of Indian Television. He has also contributed to the popular TV serials Jungle Book and Potli Baba Ki, with songs, narration and some typical Gulzar magic.
He has continued to write screenplays, dialogues and lyrics for other films among them Masoom, 1982 and Rudaali 1992. He has also been the lyricist of films like Thodi si Bewafaai, 1980, Basera, 1981, Sadma, 1983, Ghulami, 1985, Maya Memsaab, 1992, Dil Se, 1998 and Satya, 1998.
Gulzar has been honoured time and again for his work. This includes winning the National Award thrice - Best Screenplay for Koshish, Best Director for Mausam and Best Lyricist for Ijaazat. He has also won the Filmfare Award 14 times - including 7 times for Best Lyricist and The Best Director Award for Mausam.
Gulzar makes a comeback to the film industry with Rakesh Mehta`s Aks, where he has penned superior lyrics to recreate the dark and sinister mood of the film. Gulzar will always continue to remain the poet laureate of Hindi cinema.
