| Maker of evergreen romantic musicals..Nasir Hussain! |
Screenwriter, Director & Producer Nasir Hussain was very famous for his formula of romantic musicals which are still evergreen!
He started his film career as screenwriter and wrote films like
'Anarkali' (1953), Munimji (1955) & 'Paying Guest (1957). Then he
directed first film 'Tumsa Nahin Dekha'..which made Shammi Kapoor a star!
In 1961 he formed his own 'Nasir Hussain Films' and became producer-director! Started with 'Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai (1961) then 'Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon' (1963), 'Teesri Manzil' (1966), 'Pyar Ka Mausam (1969)..his 'Caravan' (1971) of romantic musicals made very successful journey!
From 'Dil Deke Dekho' (1959) Nasir Hussain's heros
changed (Shammi Kapoor, Dev Aanand, Joy Mukherjee & Jeetendra) but heroine..
Aasha Parekh was always there in those films!
Like Hasrat Jaipuri's song from his film 'Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai (1961) on Shankar-Jaikishan's popular tune "Sau saal pahele mujhe tum se pyar tha, aaj bhi hai, aur kal bhi rahega." Nasir Hussain's films reflected the love with music! Mohammad Rafi's sweet voice was always there with singer Lata Mangeshkar!
From 'Teesari Manzil' lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri & music director R.D. Burman also became part of Nasir Hussain's hit musicals! Only two times Nasir Hussain changed his formula..For 'Baharon Ke Sapne' (1967) he took social subject and 'Yaadon Ki Baraat' (1973) came with lost & found!
After few films like 'Hum Kisise Kam Naheen' (1977) & 'Zamane Ko Dikhana Hai' (1981) Nasir Hussain introduced his nephew (today's famous actor) Aamir Khan as hero in 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' (1988) and 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander' (1992)..which were directed by his son Mansoor Khan!
As an admirer of Nasir Hussain's romantic musicals..I wrote a lot on him which published in newspapers and periodicals! Many years back there was one programme on 'Nasir Hussain's romantic musicals' which was presented on my script (in Hindi) at 'Zee TV'!
Nasir Hussain's films still lingering in mind like the title song "Yaadon ki baarat nikali hai aaj.."
Homage to Nasir Hussain sahab!!
