Recently, Abbas Baharloo, a film critic and film researcher, mentioned on his personal Instagram page, citing the example that Shajarian was the film’s calligrapher in 1960. Shajarian had achieved an excellent rank in calligraphy a year earlier and was still collaborating with the radio as a singer under the pseudonym of Siavash Bidgani.
The Iranian newspaper wrote: “The photo of Mohammad Reza Shajarian embracing Parviz Parastavi tightly and happily is enough for the” cinema “to be proud and happy. Shajarian was still in the public eye, both when he went behind the scenes of “Silent City Enamel” to visit and kissed Mr. Bazigar, and when he sat down with Asghar Farhadi and Homayoun and Ryan Shajarian with enthusiasm. Was the foot of the Iran-Bosnia football match in the 2014 World Cup. Shajarian was so interested in cinema that when he went to the stage of Vahdat Hall to receive the statue of honor at the ninth celebration of the Cinema House in September 1984 and stood next to Amin Tarakh – Taher Khan Bahr Noor “Dilshodgan” – he chose his favorite ballad to sing. When he was alone, he whispered: “You made me love you so much, free from the world … you did …”
Other examples of attachment and connection of “Damavand Music of Iran”, singing for “loved ones”, using his voice in “Abjad” and “It is winter” and of course the calligraphy of the caption of two pure Persian films called “Hook” (Hook Hip) and “Reza Chelcheleh” ” Is.
1-Del Shodegan / 1992
Sweetheart went and…
Ali Hatami’s Del Shodegan (Loved Ones) is the first and only film that Mohammad Reza Shajarian sang for it, and later his compositions and songs in this film were released along with additions in the form of an album of the same name. The opening and closing credits of this film are among the well-thought-out and well-executed titles of Iranian cinema, and when Master Yousef Sazsaz (Ali Asghar Garmsiri) is working, the names of the film’s actors are engraved on the image.
۲- The First Letter / 2003
The possibility of art
“Abjad” is the second film that uses Shajarian’s voice, but none of the compositions and songs of the work are exclusive and his previous readings are used; “The State of Love”, “Iran is a House of Hope”, etc. This film by Abolfazl Jalili is interesting because of the similarities between the main character and the teenager of the film (possibility) and parts of Shajarian’s life, and justifies his voice presence. At one point, Shajarian faced opposition from his family for his work in the arts, and at another, he wrote paintings.
3- It is winter / 2005
Disappointing air closed doors
Rafi Pitz’s “It’s Winter”, which is dedicated to Mehdi Akhavan Sales, is the third and last film that uses Shajarian’s voice in an important and decisive way. Although the story of the film is taken from the story of “Journey” by Mahmoud Dolatabadi, but it seems that everything is based on the song of Shajarian and the poetry of Akhavan Sales, and the film without these two is definitely lacking. The final titration, which is decorated with “Sallaneh” by Hossein Alizadeh. I am correcting; Without these three
Shajarian’s captions in cinema
4- “Qolab” and “Reza Chelcheleh” / 1971
What happened when Shajarian entered the world of titration
Recently, Abbas Baharlou, a film critic and cinema researcher, mentioned on his personal Instagram page, citing the example that Shajarian was the calligrapher of the films “Qolab” and “Reza Chelcheleh” in 1970. Shajarian had achieved an excellent rank in calligraphy a year earlier and was still collaborating with the radio as a singer under the pseudonym of Siavash Bidgani. Interestingly, the producer and actor of the main role in both films was Reza Beyk Imanvardi.
Mohammad Banki, a 76-year-old producer, director, actor and photographer who photographed both films, told Iran Jomeh about the reason for 31-year-old Shajarian’s involvement in the work: Became RB Studio. He was friends with Mr. Shajarian. “That’s why he introduced him to write the credits.”
When we ask a Banki if Beik Imanverdi and Shajarian had a meeting or is there a joint photo of them? He replies: “Mr. Shajarian was not famous at that time. “It is possible that when he came to the studio to see Mr. Karimi, he also saw Mr. Beik Imanverdi, but I do not think there is a joint photo of them.”
The fact that Shajarian never mentioned his calligraphic presence in these two films later should probably be related to their low quality level and the atmosphere of their Persian films. One of the interesting points of the title of the movie “Hook” is that Shajarian wrote the names of two famous female singers of that time who sing songs in this movie in Nasta’liq calligraphy. At that time, perhaps no one, not even Shajarian himself, knew that the calligrapher of those two films would, in the future, become brilliant singers in music. Years ago, before writing Pouran’s name in the title of a Persian film, he had tried to play the song “O Simin, do not flirt” with Pouran Khanom with a dulcimer overnight.
