Cinemaazi remembers Anjaan on his death anniversary
3 Sep 1997
Lalji Pandey went by the pen name Anjaan (anonymous), but the lyrics written by him made him famous. Cinemaazi remembers him on the death anniversary of the famous Hindi movie lyricist.
Anjaan got his first break with the Premnath production Prisoner Of Golconda (1953) where he wrote ‘Lehar Yeh Dole Koyal Bole’ and Shaheedon Amar Hai Tumhari Kahani’.
He was, however, at his best in the Amitabh Bachchan films of Kalyanji-Anandji, beginning with Do Anjaane (Luk Chhip Luk Chhip Jao Na) in 1976. Followed Hera Pheri, Khoon Pasina, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Don, Laawaris and Jaadugar.
He also wrote hits for Bachchan with other composers like Rajesh Roshan, Bappi Lahiri, and R D Burman.
Anjaan was a very successful all-rounder for almost 20 years in Hindi films. His poetry had the colour of Bhojpuri language and the ethos and culture of Uttar Pradesh, the citadel of Hindi.
