Meanwhile, during the making of Mujhe Jeene Do, Jaidev had a falling out with Sahir Ludhianvi. Hum Dono turned out to be the last film Jaidev did with Navketan as the production house opted for SD Burman for their next film Guide. But things didn’t quite pan out that way. With Hum Dono and Mujhe Jeene Do, Jaidev seemed to have entered the big league. Play Raat Bhi Hai from Mujhe Jeene Do (1963). The stand out song was the delectable Subah Ka Intezaar. Joru Ka Bhai (1955), which starred Balraj Sahni, too didn’t fare well at the box office, but gave ample opportunity to the young music director to showcase his skills. Jaidev’s first break as a music director also came with Chetan Anand. Ali Akbar Khan decided to move on, but Jaidev stayed back in Bombay and began assisting SD Burman. Aandhiyan (1952) and Humsafar (1953) starred Dev Anand, but both films failed to click at the box office. In Bombay, Ali Akbar Khan was approached by Chetan Anand to compose for a couple of films produced under the family banner Navketan. The opening credits of Aandhiyaan (1952). The sarodist, then working with All India Radio, Lucknow, took the young man under his wing. In 1944, with the centre about to close down, Jaidev got a letter of introduction addressed to Allauddin Khan’s son, Ali Akbar Khan. The centre was dedicated to teaching dance but Jaidev seems to have stayed on. The death of Jaidev’s father seems to have been a catalyst in his leaving Ludhiana and moving to Almora to try and learn under the great Allauddin Khan, who was then teaching at Uday Shankar’s India Cultural Centre. After working in a handful of films, including a couple of the Fearless Nadia swashbucklers, Jaidev headed back to Ludhiana, where he continued his musical training and also took up a job as a music teacher in a school. A few years later, he somehow managed to make his way to Bombay where he landed up a small part in JBH Wadia’s mythological drama Vaman Avatar (1934). The story goes that after watching Ali Baba at a theatre in Lahore in 1932 Jaidev fell in love with the movies. Born in East Africa, where his father worked as an official in the railways, Jaidev moved with his family to Ludhiana in 1927. This was not the first time that Jaidev was coming to Bombay. Accompanying him was one of his disciples, a young man named Jaidev Verma. With the sudden death of his benefactor, Khan moved to Bombay. Working closely with the Maharaja on this project was Ali Akbar Khan, the sarod maestro who had been appointed court musician a few years before independence. However, the joyride turned into a tragedy as the plane crashed, killing its occupants.Īt the time of his death, the Maharaja had apparently been working on plans to open a college of the arts in Jodhpur. The Maharaja, an avid flyer, had been campaigning assiduously for weeks ahead of independent India’s first democratic election, and he believed he was headed for a landslide win. On January 26, 1952, Hanwant Singh, the 28-year-old Maharaja of the erstwhile princely state of Jodhpur, and his wife, the former actress Zubeida (now christened Vidya Rani), got into his Beechcraft Bonanza, a light six-seater plane, for a celebratory ride. ‘Hatred won, an artist lost,’ says comedian Munawar Faruqui as his Bengaluru show gets cancelled.Watch: Tyrannosaurus Rex versus Giganotosaurus in ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ prologue.The big news: Centre will review decision to resume international flights, and 9 other top stories.
