Irshad, Irshad Kamil, that’s what I expect from you. You just keep doing wonders…
-Ali Peter john
Whatever they say about me and the kind of poetry or poetic language I write and whatever I know about good Urdu poetry and actual film songs, I am sure that when I read a poem by a young poet Irshad Kamil. The songs I wrote were my first bow I was sure of. As a lyricist that she would be a torchbearer for poetry that would save poetry from the depths of despair she was slowly falling into. At a time when fake poets and lyricists were ruling, Irshad Kamil came like a breath of fragrant air specially created in Irshad by the goddess of good poetry.
I was impressed by the poetry he wrote through his songs, when I listened and understood his songs in the films he wrote in the period between 2000 and till now when he wrote his latest songs in films like “Tadap”. with Ahan Shetty, who marked the debut of Suniel Shetty’s son Ahan Shetty. The film itself was a surprise hit in this gloomy time and certainly, Irshad’s sensitive and emotional songs were one of the prime reasons to create a yearning in the hearts and minds of the people, especially the young people who knew what to do. Is through the twilight of falling in love and getting up.
And now just a few weeks later, Irshad Kamil has created another sensation with his songs in the recently released “Atrangi Re”, a film directed by the time-tested Aanand L Rai and directed by South Indian cinema. With bow, known as son. The law of the great Rajinikanth, Sara Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar.
The film gives Irshad all the creative space to evoke his poetic sensibilities and commands him to express powerful emotions in the most eloquent words.
Every song, it is hard to believe that poetry is a gem in different genres and Irshad along with Jadgar, who is incidentally a composer, has given poetry in films the place that was in the glory times of poets like Sahir Ludhianvi, Majrooh was during. Sultanpuri, Shakeel Badayuni, Kaifi Azmi and other masters who lived and worked in a world they had created for themselves. We are respected and even paid for the value and value of his poetry. I am convinced now that Irshad Kamil is here to carve a niche of his own and after centuries of simple and frivolous rhymes serve up good poetry, which is sadly accepted as poetry, Whereas in reality, it is much more than nothing but Sonic and Fury represents nothing. I have been an ardent admirer of Irshad’s poetry in both literature and films, but what he has been writing for the past few years gives me all the reasons to sit on the throne of the kingdom of poetry and he will certainly do. is not competitive and even if there is, I know his poetry and his desire to win in a world where poetry is just so many voices and empty words, he will make it a point to see that poetry There is no harm, whatever may happen or who may come…
In 2022, I see Irshad shines more with his work in Sooraj Barjatya’s “Uchhai” and Aanand L Rai’s Raksha Bandhan and in the film he is working with his partner Imtiaz Ali. Huh.
Irshad is proud of you poetry and music. You have to do amazing because you are now Irshad Kamil and amazing service people have no other expectation or expectation from you. Jio Irshad and I am hearing Irshad Irshad all around.
