Janwar film songs shammi kapoor biography

It&#;s time for more Shammi, in brilliant Eastman Color! Janwar is one of my favorite Shammi films (okay, I know I always say that), because it&#;s chock full of crazy outfits and disguises, great repartee between Shammi and his sidekick Rajendranath, and the presence of Prithviraj Kapoor and Rehman as well. It also has a great fast-paced story full of fun, and the songs by Shankar and Jaikishan are brilliant.

Shammi Kapoor on music: ‘It gave me a better kick than booze’

Shammi Kapoor’s flair for music went back to his younger days. His mother had been into classical music and she would practise regularly with a professional music teacher, Pandit Jagannath Prasad, a well-known exponent of Hindustani classical music, who used to train the likes of the legendary K.L. Saigal and Mukesh. When she could not attend his training sessions at some point due to pressure of household work, she made her elder son Raj Kapoor learn in her place. When Raj got busy with films, it was Shammi’s turn. With his innate flair for music and “an abiding urge to sing,” Shammi grabbed the opportunity and went through the training sessions diligently and learnt music with great passion.

“The sound of any music evoked in me a strong urge to dance. The rhythm didn’t take time to seep into me and seek expression in dance. inom always envisioned dance as a visual expression of music. The urge to dance was dormant in me
