Shankar Jaikishan 

शंकर जयकिशन भारतीय सिनेमा के संगीत के भगवान थे, इनकी किसी तुलना किसी से करना अपने आप से बईमानी करने के समान है

SJ sir jaise MD 1000 saal main ek baar paida hote hai. Jo music SJ ji diya aur koi nahi de paya. really great MD SJ.

SJ were miracle of Hindi films.They brought symphony in their songs.gave us unforgettable tunes.people still follow their music.

SHANKAR JAIKISAN THE GREATEST MUSIC DIRECTOR

We never get the satisfaction from others, what we get from Shankar Jaikishan songs. Beautiful melody, amazing orchestra, it literally touch your soul, transport you to another planet. That is why veteran music director Naushadji called them magicians. There is a temple in London in their name. Their musical contribution are part of Indian culture and legend. I pay my humble respect to the memories of these great sons of India. 🙏🙏

Undoubtedly Shankar jaikishan were the greatest music directors in ages to come.

I consider Shankar Jaikishan were the best and most popular music directors Hindi cinema has ever produced.

SJ are indeed emperors of hindi film music. Thanks for the video.

This is fact that Shanker Jaikishan great music directors .And no one come closure to them

It is very true sir. SJ were the Star Composers. What a sound they created for films was just superb.

Undoubtedly neither before or after any composer could come even close to Shankar Jaikishan.

There are millions of people who listen everyday the SJ magic with Rafi, Lata,Kishore,Asha,Mukesh,Suman, Manna De.

Great & my favorite music directors MD SJ

All time great , genius and legendary music director duo shankar Jaikishan were musicians who have magical touch in their composition.They have redefined the melody unka jadu shir chad kar bolta tha .uss time par shankar Jaikishan ji ka Jalwa sach me aisa hi tha and to corborate my statement let me share some of the compelling factor behind this . actuallyThe main USP of legendary music director duo Shankar Jaikishan was that all songs of their album became instantly hit,this was the rarest of rare virtues any composer could posses but they were blessed by God Grace and this particular film is a great example of it. Another USP was their compositions were so catchy and liked by masses and classes equally.in addition to that be it orchestra arrangements,creation of preludes and Interludes,use of chorus , back ground score,title songs or theme songs shankar Jaikishan were the Trend setters in all respect.shankar Jaikishan were indeed miles ahead of their contemporaries in all the department of music and they proved it time and again.unki baat hi alag thi aur unka andaz bhi juda tha rather in short I must say that the whole team of shankar Jaikishan was simply superb and genius to the core ,the music composers duo were par excellence who said to have devine touch in their composition.

Yes after nearly five decades of JAIKISHAN ji departure, SJ so passionately remembered even now. THANKS for presenting such an informative programme.

The great megic MD SJ emporer of the music no one can come close to them uptillnow in Bollywood.

Gretest music directors ever , whose tunes are copied by Hollywood . Their songs are populer all over the world even now .

ShankarJaikishan- Shahenshah of hindi film music, founder of golden era

As S J is a place of Worship for me, I would say a few things about them- They were trend setters. " Barsat" overnight changed the references of film music. " Halaku", "Yahudi " Amrapali" "Seema" showed their potentiality. Unfortunately "Basant bahar" went unrecognized. I don't know why... " Jis deshmain" is amazing blending with screen play, " Anadi" is a super most example of characterization. In "Jangali", " Rajkuar" they changed there own trend, In "Evening in Paris" they showed the power of being outgoing I have really not seen so many combinations of human mind and attitudes which they brought in film scores.. Not a joke. It needs highest degree of self confidence, and they had it 🙏

I think that Shankar Jaikishen were a class of music diectors who were heads and shoulders above the rest in the film industry. For their success the contribition of Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri cannot be undermined.

First super star music director

Sir good interview and explanation i am also Heartful SJ fan

Rajivaji, you said it right. SJ were the first to use western music innovatively. Though CR and Salilada also used western music and they are credited for that. But I think it was SJ who used western and arebic music beautifully. And they are not given due credit. Use of purcusion instrument such as dholak, tabla, congo bongo was so artistically used by SJ in Halaku, Dil apana aur preet parai, Yuhudi and many more movies was so unique, innovative and versatile. In my opinion SJ were real rythm king. But due credit was not given to them.

Tonnes of thanks from the core of heart from Shankar Jaikishan fans to you Rajiv ji for presenting such a beautiful tribute to Shankar Jaikishan. The most importantly you have re-established that despite of a husband-wife quarrel, both of them were Two-in-One. One soul in two bodies. My gratitude to you Sir.

Great information about the SJ the star composer of the Bollywood. Salute them 🙏🙏🙏

Rajiv Vijayakar is an encyclopedia of bollywood esp film music. Thank you for sharing your wealth of information. Always loved your writings and videos. Looking forward for more

Shankar Jay kishan are all time number one.

Very frank and outspoken views shared on Legendary music composers Shankar Jaikishan! The actual facts were so perfectly revealed Thank you 🙏 Rajiv ji! Glad to hear more on these pillars of golden era of Hindi film music !

Very apt and awsom video. Thanks so much. I am fan of Shakae Jaikishan

At the early stage Jeetendraji even given his fees to sign SJ Becoz producer was under tight budget and not dare ti sign SJ.The film was ".gunhao ka devta ",then after in his many film SJ given music like mere huzoor,yaar mera,ek naari ek bhramchaarri, etc all were block buster.

What a comprehensive report on Shankar Jaikishan’s stupendous career! Thank you, Rajiv.

Sj the great

SJ is the greatest musician of all time

Absolutely right.SJ were & are the best composers of Bollywood so far.Shammi kapoor;Rajendra Kumar; Raj Kapoor owe everything to SJ. They composed most of songs on raga basis,fantastic.Their music is popular in Russia & other foreign countries.

Khupach chan mulakaat

They were the best and were lucky also , almost all movies for which they composed music became silver and golden jubilee hits . Even today singers who do stage shows with sj songs get rousing audience response .50's to 70's was the golden period for hindi film music and almost all music directors of that era were churning out great music.

Thanks for the information rajivji, my dad has the LP gramophone record of SJ raag based western jaaz style

rajeev ji ..SD burman aur RD burman par bhi alag alag episodes kijiye ..iske ilava ek episode RD aur LP ki dosti ke baare mein bhi kijiye ...

Really nice information shared by you sir about S-J ji❤

Super ❤️

Love them, forever...

So Bappi Lahiri lifted Shankar ji's Gori hain kalayiaan for Aaj ka Arjun? This is really new!!

Very true Thanks for this programme

Sir congratulations on a we'll researched documentary on S-J Sirs. What a gift they were to the hindi film Industry. We shall always cherish their 🎵. But at the same time I would like to point out that u missed out on a very crucial element of the core team of Great Shankar- Jaikishan. You didn't even in a single instant mention the two class strangers they had e.g. Sebastian D'Souza for the western section and Dattaram Wadkar who looked after the percussion deptt. They have an equal contribution in endless S- J superhits. Diy you agree Sir? Waiting for your response ASAP.. Regards Raymond

legend music director duo

SJ IS BEYOND ALL COMMENTS!!!!!!!

Lovely info...I had read that for rangoli song ..SJ told the producer to take Shailendra ji as a lyricsts..also Shailendra ji had send the lines to SJ "chooti se duniya .."

two body one soul

I agree with you I also shared in my group

rajiv you speak very well

Extremely informative and enjoyed it thoroughly

मेरे पास शब्द नही है शं.ज. के संगीत के लिए कुछ कह सकू ।

I agree what you say, they were together, and no body will be able to match them ( I think)

Nice

Do u deliver lecture Mr Vijaykar on Hindi film music

Rajiv ji you said about OP Nayyar and C Ramchandra, but did not said about Naushad..How was naushads stature during SJs haydays..

Sir, how can you leave out Devsab SJK combination?

S j ne sangeet ko ek adhunikta pradhan ki

In cricket parlance they were the Don Bradman of the Hindi Film Industry. If any Tom Dick and Harry says SJ were good (They were the best) than just forget about the idiot who said this. Till the music of Hindi Film is heard the name of SJ will always be taken with respect and awe.

Rajib ji aap shankar jaikishan k fan hain to unke uppar bhi ek kitab likhte jaise laxmikant pyarelal k uppar likhe

Sir SHANKAR JAIKISHAN k uppar ek kitab lekhen

Very nice and authentic. But actedit Mere Huzoor with Raaj Kumar, not Jitendra.

let me tell you rajiv the lyricists you mentioned who wrote after 1968 were not of the caliber as the earlier ones and from here the decline started and after going of JaiKishan the era came to an end so grievnacin Is not it

Stereo type information ,known to public since long.No worthwhile information revealed ,is "Old Wine in New Bottles" !

SJ used over 90% Rafi voice among male singers. He used Lata, mubarak begum, Asha and others in female.

You are wrong about Dilip Kumar. Aan was super super hit in 1952. Daag was also hit, but not to the level of Aan. Also, Dilip Kumar was the only actor in those years, who never relied on songs, but acting. Also, dilip Kumar always trusted only one composer. And we all know who was that.
