Melodies of music director Jaidev

-

 Jaidev Verma was one of the most outstanding music composers of Indian film industry. He was born in Nairobi, (Kenya) on August 3rd 1918. His family shifted to Ludhiana in 1927 where his musical journey began. In 1933 he went to Mumbai to pick up acting. He acted in 8 films as a child artist initially but then he realised he was not made for acting. Jaidev assisted legendary sarod player Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and later music composer S. D Burman for movies made under Navketan banner. His first film as an independent music director was Chetan Anand’s Joru Ka Bhai (1955). He got noticed for his work with Hum Dono that came in 1961. He was the first music director of his time to receive 3 National Awards ( Reshma aur Shera, Gaman, Ankahee) . He also gave music to Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s legendary poem Madhushala which is sung by singer Manna Dey. I have listed some of his melodies. Hope you like them. 

Allah tero naam

Tu Chanda Main Chandni

Abhi na jao

Raat bhi hai kutch bheegi bheegi


Madhushala

Ye dil aur unke nigahon ke saaye


Seene me jalan

Tumhe dekhti hun


Do deewane sheher me


Koi gata main so jata


Raghuvar tum meri laaj

Going down memory lane, recalling old days spent with my father gave a true satisfaction.  A few days back I spoke to my mother over the phone. The date was on 27th Jan and like every year, we reminisced about my father’s last day in our house. It happened to be the day when he had dinner from my mother’s hands for the last time. On the 28th I got a call from my mother; he was kept on a ventilator. For the next two days, he was critical and on 30th Jan he left us. His age was 76. In those two days, amidst the hustle-bustle of the hospital, I could not even realize that he was leaving us. Over these years, I have started missing him more. In the past four years, not a single day has passed without thinkin
