Eons ago, comic
tracks were, at times, parallel to those of the leads in Hindi films. And,
unlike today, specialists pulled them off.
Johnny Walker was
one. And what he provided was called comic relief (a misnomer, because it was actually
the cinegoers who sought relief from the daily grind, and went with the belief
that the comedian wouldn’t disappoint them).
Mr Walker
certainly didn’t, as was evidenced by All
Line Clear, the Chori Chori Mo(o)(hamme)d-lifter
which was picturised on him. It was penned by Hasrat Jaipuri, composed by
Shankar Jaikishan and rendered by Rafi.
