K-A
's first joint film, the Meena Kumari
-Balraj Sahni
starrer Satta Bazar later the same year marked his first brush with success with hits like ‘Tumhein yaad hoga kabhi hum mile the’ (Lata
-Hemant), ‘Aakde ka dhanda’ (Rafi) and ‘Chandi ke chand tukdon ke liye’ (Hemant Kumar).
It was during the making of this film that the film’s distributor Shantibhai Patel christened him ‘Bawra’. He was very impressed by his lyrics but could not reconcile their excellence to the typical young man in his twenties who wore a rather colourful shirt. He said, 'Main iska naam Gulshan Bawra rakhoonga. He looks like a 'bawra' (madman).' When the film was released in Mumbai
, the posters carried just three names, those of director Ravindra Dave, composers Kalyanji Anandji
, and Gulshan Bawra, though the roster of lyricists included the topmost names of that time, Hasrat Jaipuri
and Shailendra
. 'I left my job in 1961 and things were pretty smooth,' says Bawra.
To date, Gulshan Bawra has written only 240 songs in a 42-year career, which is less than the number of films so many top names have done! But he claims to have the highest average among lyricists. 'I never believed in working too much or being aggressive, one of the main reasons for which was that I had no children. In my time, I have charged Rs 90,000 for a film at a time when one could purchase a big flat for Rs 65,000! I have not compromised on my price - because I have never compromised on my work.'
Gulshan Bawra believes in sensible lyrics and avoids lyrics that are conceptually defective, or have grammatical mistakes. 'Even Shailendra
,' he says, 'wrote meaningless stuff like ‘Awara hoon, awara hoon, ya gardish mein hoon aasmaan ka taara hoon ‘, which should actually be ‘Awara hoon, awara hoon, main gardish mein bhi aasmaan ka taara hoon’. Gardish refers to struggle or turbulence and stars are never in this condition. Natural or universal truths should not be tampered with in the name of poetic license or to fit in to a given metre', he says.
Almost half of his songs have been with R.D.Burman. His last release was Zulmi
(1999) and his last hit was ‘Le pappiyaan jhappiyaan paale hum’ for Haqeeqat
/1995, which landed him in his only controversy - of writing a vulgar song. As always, Bawra is selective and is doing two films only today. He finds today's filmmakers, music barons and composers musically illiterate and thus is even choosier than before, as he lives a secure, relaxed life. 'Why should I torture myself or waste my lyrics and talents on those who will ask me to do all sorts of compromises?' he asks. His films in the '90s include, besides Haqeeqat
and Zulmi
, Qurbani Rang Jaayegi, Tehkiqaat, Laat Saab, Maidan-E-Jung
, Indrajeet
and Chor Pe Mor.
He died on August 7, 2009 at age 72 at his Pali Hill
residence in Mumbai.
