shayari in films
Filmy Shayari
Urdu shayari has been integral part of Hindi cinema especially till last few decades. Poets like Sahir ludhyanvi, Shakeel Badayuni, Hasrat Jaipuri, Akhtarul Iman, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Jaan Nisar Akhtar, Raja Mehdi Ali Khan have regularly written for films and have produced some of the immortal ghazals sung by various artistes like Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammad Rafi and others.
Though, the presence of ghazals in today’s cinema is diminishing – however, still some of the ghazals catches wide-spread appreciation when they become part of any film. To name them few like “Hoshwalon ko khabar kahaan” by Nida Fazli in Film Sarfarosh and “Haath chhute bhi to rishte nahi chhuta karte” by Gulzar in film Pinjar and “Koi fariyaad” by Faiz Anwar in film “Tum bin”.
Though there has always been a debate whether a song to be called ghazal or not. Rekhta has compiled the list of such pure ghazals and nazms which are part of films at a single place.
