Dua’a (A prayer)
——————————–

O Allah, we seek refuge in Allah from a knowledge that does not benefit
And from a heart that is not humble
And a soul that is satisfied
And from a dua’ that is not heard
O The Most Generous.
O Allah we ask you for beneficial knowledge
And good provision and deeds that are accepted
O The Most Merciful.
O Allah, make the best of our lives towards the end of it,
And the best deeds of our deeds the last ones,
And the best of our days the day we meet You,
While You are satisfied with us
O Lord of the worlds
O Allah we ask you for a pure life
And a good end,
And a return that is neither shameful nor disgraceful
O The Most Generous
Our Lord do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred,
Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us,
Our Lord and do not burden us with which we have no ability to bear,
And Pardon us
And pardon us
And forgive us and have mercy upon us,
You are our Protector
So give us victory over the disbelieving people
Our Lord, indeed we have believed
So forgive our sins
So forgive our sins, and protect us from the punishment of the fire,
O Lord of the worlds
O Allah make us of the patient ones
O Allah make us of the truthful ones
O Allah make us of the obedient ones
O Allah make us of those who spend(for the sake of Allah)
O Allah make us of those who seek forgiveness
Forgive all of our sins
Forgive all of our sins
The small and the big
The first and the last ones
Secret ones and the ones done publicly
Forgive what we have put forth and what we have sent behind
What we did in secret and what we did in public
And what You know better than us
You are the Expediter and the Delayer
There is no God but You
Our Lord, we ask you for faith that does not turn back
And a blessing that never ends
And a blessing that never ends
And a blessing that never ends

And the company of our beloved Muhammad(pbuh)
In the Highest Paradise
In the Highest Paradise
In the Highest Paradise
O the Lord of the worlds
Our Lord,
And our Creator
And our Provider
Indeed every night You free people from the hell fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
And necks of our fathers and mothers from the fire
And necks of our fathers and mothers from the fire
And our wives and our offsprings from the fire
And our wives and our offsprings from the fire
And our brothers and sisters from the fire
And our brothers and sisters from the fire
O Lord of the worlds
O the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful,
O the Most Generous, The Beneficent Bestower of bounties
O The Most Kind, The Most Loving,
O The Most Compassionate, Merciful of the world
O You, whose mercy encompasses everything,
O Allah free our necks from the fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
And necks of our fathers and mothers from the fire
And our wives and our offsprings from the fire
And our brothers and sisters from the fire
And all our Muslim men and Muslim women
And the believing men and believing women
(free them) By Your Mercy,
O The Most Merciful
Our Lord
Our Lord
And our creator
Your sevants besides us are many!
And we have no Lord but You to Whom we can invoke
And we stand between Your hands
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from hypocrisy
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from hatred
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from envy
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from pride
O Allah, do not leave us to ourselves even for the blink of an eye
Or even less than that
O the Alive, O the Everlasting
O the Alive, O the Everlasting
By your mercy, we seek help
Set right for us all our affairs
And do not abandon us to ourselves for the blinking of an eye(ie a moment)

****************************************

The Holy month of Ramadhan, Hijri 1445 began on 11th March, 2024, and now it has ended in other parts of the world. In India, we all shall celebrate Eid on 11th April.

“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran,
a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong).
So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home),
he must observe Saum (fasts) that month,
and whoever is ill or on a journey,
the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up] from other days.
Allah intends for you ease,
and He does not want to make things difficult for you.
(He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allah [i.e. to say Takbir (Allahu-Akbar; Allah is the Most Great) on seeing the crescent of the months of Ramadan and Shawwal] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him.”

There was a flood of messages on whatsapp groups and direct messages and also on status updates. I am really feeling as an overdose of the only social media I am using. But as usual there, is a beneficial aspect also of this medium, as it keeps me connected to the outside world. And if I say this is the only social media I am using, I am deceiving myself. As a consumer of internet on some levels I am exposing myself as a speck of data, which is the fodder for the holy cow that is whattsapp.

So be it, if I am fodder for any user of my history and consumption of the internet. We all are fodder for each other, feeding on each other and growing and diminishing, as we go about our daily lives. Inter-dependent and inter-connected, we tend to use people and things and be used by them. Because as a mere mortal we are a needy creation, which needs substance. Beyond the substance and survival, humans have expanded the need to the level of greed. So, there is no end to human needs and necessities. This greed has made us into a race of consumerist society and there is no end to our greed.

“The likeness of those who were entrusted with the (obligation of the) Taurat (Torah) (i.e. to obey its commandments and to practise its legal laws), but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is as the likeness of a donkey who carries huge burdens of books (but understands nothing from them). How bad is the example (or the likeness) of people who deny the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah. And Allah guides not the people who are Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers, etc.)”

This greed is a food for more greed and the utter desperation of the fear of food scarcity and survival, points to a lot of current affairs events, which have shaped our present psyche.
“(64:16) So fear Allāh as much as you are able and listen and obey and spend [in the way of Allāh]; it is better for yourselves. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul – it is those who will be the successful.”
(Cause greediness is integral part of every human – and so he needs to be protected by external factor ie only by Allah. And He will protect if … first part of the ayah)

We can pretend to be immune to the upheavals, but we are connected to the world and effected by it, whether we like it or not. And things have a way of giving way, of changing and changing for the better.

The civilization was not built in one day. No, it takes time for things to shape up and settle and to again shape up and settle. Not all of us are blessed with the visionary power, but the vision is there, and the change is a rule of nature.

In any era, if something prevailed, by divine decree, it must have been what was destined. The past cannot be changed, but the past is what has shaped the civilization. That is the reason the powerful among the so-called elite are looking to create more and different civilization beyond the world, on moon and on mars. And may the creator grant them more power and wherewithal to do so.

May the Almighty Allah, bless the keen and honest among us, grant the justifiable desires of all of us.

I am glad to be presenting this devotional song, rendered by one and only Mohammed Rafi Sahab, a soul capable of filling the most bland of lyrics with conviction and sincerity.

Recently, I had the privilege of visiting the historic Shanmukhanand Hall, Sion, near Gandhi Market. My son’s convocation was held in this holy month at the venue. Just as we entered the inside lane, we saw the corner of the Hall, we saw the giant cut-out of Rafi Sahab put up on the compound wall. Inside the lobby, there are glassed enclosure/spaces highlighting the legacy of the divine voice commemorating the Centenary year. Blessed are we to be a very minute part of this great performer artist’s era.

Many singers/orators and performers came and went before and after him. But who can match -him? Almighty Allah SWT created only one Mohammad Rafi, with no “saani”. One just needs to listen to the voice and marvel at this super creation of the Almighty.

Eid mubaarak to all.

‘Ramu To Deewaana Hai’ (1980, UR) was produced and directed by Chandru who also acted in the lead role, wrote screenplay. dialogues, lyrics and composed songs for the film. Other actors in the film were the debutant Deepa Rani, Yakub, Chand Usmani, Manvendra Chitnis, Leela Chitnis, Janakidas, Baby Ritu etc. Rehman, I S Johar, David, Gulshan Bawra and Padmini Kapila made the guest appearances and Raj Kapoor made a special appearance in the film.

According to Syed Siraj, a film journalist and film critic since 1970, the ‘all-in-one’ Chandru was the brother of Arjun Hingorani, the producer-director. Incidentally, I have noted that Kishore Rege, Cinematographer of ‘Ramu To Deewaana Hai’, was also the cinematographer for at least 3 films produced and directed by Arjun Hingorani. Chandru had assisted Raj Kapoor in a few of R K Films and had also done small roles.

The film appears to be in the making for a very long time. According to IMDb, the film was started in 1962 in black and white. After a few reels of shooting, it was decided to make it in colour. Thereafter, the film faced financial problems thus resulting in delay in completion. It appears that the film was completed, and the LP of the film’s songs was released in December 1980. However, the film remained unreleased. It was sometime in 2001 that Arjun Hingorani bought the distribution rights of the film. But he does not appear to have released the film. Both Arjun Hingorani and Chandru have now passed away.

There is also a reference in music director, Biddu’s autobiography ‘Made In India – Biddu – Adventures of a Lifetime’ (2015) about Chandru Asrani (yes, he refers to him by surname ‘Asrani’) as pointed out by Syed Siraj. The producer-director-writer-actor-lyricist-music director of ‘Ramu To Deewaana Hai’ met Biddu in London in 1980 following the success of his song, in Feroz Khan’s ‘Qurbaani’ (1979). He showed him about 90% of the completed film which had been under production for about 14 years. Chandru wanted him to compose two songs to be added to complete the film so as to entice the film distributors.

Sometime in 1988-89, Chandru had an informal get-together of some film journalists to his house in Khar in which film journalist, Syed Siraj was also present. Siraj said that during the gathering, Chandru had played some songs from the film which included in the voices of Mukesh, Mubarak Begum and Kishore Kumar. But none of the songs sounded like that composed by Biddu. The LP issued by HMV/SAREGAMA contains 8 songs which have been rendered by Mukesh, Suman Kalyanpur, Mubarak Begum and Kishore Kumar. However, the Mp3 clips of the songs (probably through CD) from the film contains 10 songs, two of which are in English – (1) ‘Go go’, and (2) ‘Life is a business’ rendered by a band called High Society – which sound the typical Biddu’s compositions.

As of now, ‘Ramu To Deewaana Hai’ (1980 UR) remains unreleased and the film is not available on any of the video-sharing and OTT platforms. However, a couple of short video clips of some of the scenes from the film are available on video sharing platform. It appears that Chandru has played the title role of Ramu.

The film’s song album had 10 songs, 2 of which were in English. The 8 Hindi songs were written and composed by Chandru. Two songs from the film have been covered in the Blog. I am presenting the 3rd song, ‘kwaabon ki duniyaa sitaaron ki duniyaa’ rendered by Mukesh. The song is picturised on Chandru as a stage song. Raj Kapoor is the main guest in the audience. The person sitting on his left wearing specs is N N Sippy. David is the compere on the stage who introduces Chandru as the new music director of Raj Kapoor. After the end of the singing, Raj Kapoor walks towards Chandru and congratulates him. He also tells Chandru to meet him in his studio. One can also see a happy Leela Chitnis in the background.

This song may have been picturised in the year 1979 or earlier because David migrated to Canada in 1979.

Every year, hundreds of Hindi feature films are certified by Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Just for a sample check, I found that for the years 1951-1980, on an average, 100-120 Hindi features films had been certified/released. I am sure the number of Hindi films certified/released in the subsequent decades must have increased significantly. There were many Hindi feature films which had been shot but got shelved or remained incomplete or if completed, remained unreleased. I checked on the websites of Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) and Producers Guild of India (GUILD) for the list of such films. Unfortunately, no such information is available on the website. It is one more example of the poor upkeep of film related statistics.

There are many reasons as to why films get shelved or remain incomplete and if completed, remain unreleased. But the generic reason is the way the films were made until few years back. Normally, till the end of the last century, a film was shot in driblets as the main actors would give dates for shooting for days normally ranging between 5-10 days at a time and the actors would get paid according to the progress of the film. Those days, the popular star-actors would sign the films in good numbers because of the lure of signing amount. This would result the clash of dates of the main actors thus delaying the shooting and increasing the film’s production cost. The net result of these systems was that a film could take an average 18-36 months. The longer the time to complete a film, the bigger will be the risk associated with the completion of the film apart from other risk associated with filmmaking.

I have gone through the articles on our Blog which has so far covered around 80 unreleased (UR) films including shelved and incomplete films. I have also gone through some on-line articles covering a few specific films of such categories. Based on the information from these articles wherever the reasons for such films were spelt out, I have listed below 5 broad categories of reasons which led to films remaining incomplete or shelved and completed but remained unreleased.

1. Financial constraint : When the films take longer time than expected to complete or the allocated budget for the film is exceeded during the making of the films, the producers/financiers have to provide additional funds to complete the films. If they failed to arrange the additional finance, the films remain incomplete and finally shelved. One of the shelved films mentioned under this reason is Ramesh Sippy’s mid-1980s multi-starer, ‘Zameen’ with Vinod Khanna, Rajnikanth, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi. The film exceeded the budget during the making of the film and it was reported that financiers/distributors refused to provide further finance for the film. Another film was J P Dutta’s ‘Sarhad’ which was shelved in 1976 due to budget constraint when nearly 50% of the film’s shooting was completed.

2. Creative differences and Compatibility Issues: Creative differences and compatibility issues can arise between the producer and director, between director and main actors and among the main actors. If they are not sorted out, one of them would leave the film which can result in the suspension of the film’s shooting. If the alternative arrangements are not made in time, the film remains incomplete or shelved. An interesting case under this reason was K Asif’s film, ‘Jaanwar’ with Dilip Kumar pairing with Suraiya for the first time. This film started its shooting sometime in early 1950s. It was reported that Suraiya did not like the handling of a bold scene by Dilip Kumar with her and she felt that film’s director was hand in gloves with him because of many retakes of the bold scenes between Dilip Kumar and Suraiya. She felt humiliated and left the shooting in a huff never to return. The film was shelved. ‘Shiqwaa’ (1950s) with Dilip Kumar and Nutan in the lead role was on near completion when the film was stalled due to reported differences between film’s director, Ramesh Saigal and the producer, Makhan Lal Jain of Filmkar Productions. Dilip Kumar was also upset with the producer as he was planning to start a film with more or less the similar story of K Asif’s ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ (1960) which was under production.

3. Lack of film’s qualitative progress: After the filming of few scenes, if the director, especially when he is also the producer, feels unhappy about the way the film is shaping up due to weak script or underperformances of the lead actors, two things can happen during this stage. Either the film is shelved or it is reshot with changes in script or the lead actor/s as the case may be. In the second option, there is a danger of film’s budget getting exceeded. In the absence of alternative funding arrangements, the film may remain incomplete for indefinite period. Guru Dutt’s ‘Gauri’ with Geeta Dutt in the title role in 1957 and ‘Raaz’ with Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman in 1959 were shelved after shooting few scenes when he realised that the films were not shaping well as per his liking.

4. Unforeseen Reasons: Apart from financial and creative risks, the filmmaker also faces some unforeseen problems in completing the film. During the partition in 1947, many Hindi films under productions, both at Mumbai and Lahore were affected due to sudden migration of the main actors and core technicians. Some films remained incomplete while a few of the affected films were remade with new actors. The death of the main actors, producer and director may result in inordinate delay in completng the film. The most talked about film under this reason was K Asif’s ‘Love and God’. After the success of ‘Mughal-E-Azam’ (1960), K Asif started filming ‘Love And God’ with Guru Dutt in the lead role some time in 1962. The film was near its completion when Guru Dutt passed away in October 1964. K Asif started shooting afresh with Sanjeev Kumar. K Asif passed away in 1971 leaving the film abandoned. Finally, K Asif’s wife with the financial help from producer, K C Bokadia decided to revive the film. But before the shooting started, Sanjeev Kumar passed away in 1985. The film was released in incomplete form in 1986. ‘Chaalaak’ was started around 1961 with Raj Kapoor and Madhubala in the lead roles. The film was nearly 50% complete when Madhubala could not report for shooting due to her health issues. The film was delayed. The film got shelved after Madhubala passed away in 1969.

There are some other unforeseen reasons for films to get stalled. Muzaffar Ali’s ‘Zooni’, shooting of which had started in 1988, remained incomplete due to insurgency in Kashmir valley. Tinu Anand’s ‘Shinaakht’ which started shooting in 1988 with Amitabh Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit in the lead roles, was shelved when the director found that the story of the film was almost similar to Manmohan Desai’s ‘Ganga Jamuna Saraswati’ (1988).

5. Films completed but remain unreleased: The reasons for completed films remaining unreleased range from CBFC objections, creative differences between the producer and director, financial/legal disputes, and distributors not showing intererst in releasing the films on commercial consideration. Gulzar’s ‘Libaas’ was completed in 1988. The film’s producer, Vikas Mohan wanted the director, Gulzar to change the film’s climax which he refused. Producer, therefore, decided not to release the film. It was, however, shown in the International Film Festivals. Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Paanch’ (2001) failed to get CBFC certification because of the depiction of excessive violence and use of fowl language. After some cuts, CBFC cleared the film, but it remained unreleased. Muzaffar Ali’s ‘Anjuman’ (1986) remained unreleased as he did not get any film distributor to release the film.

There was a crucial case of the film, ‘Aag Kaa Daryia’ (1991 UR) which was completed after a long delay. The film’s shooting started in 1984 with Dilip Kumar, Rekha, Padmini Kolhapure, Rajiv Kapoor and Amrish Puri. The film was progressing very well under the direction of S V Rajendra Singh Babu when the producer, Venkataraman passed away. It took time to arrange fresh finance for the film during which Rajendra Krishan, the film’s screenplay-dialogue-song writer passed away. The film was completed and got censor certificate in 1991. The film’s trailer was also released. However, at the last moment, one of the financiers/distributors raised the financial disputes which led to the film remaining unreleased. (Source: ‘The Scroll’, 11/12/2022).

In the recent years, due to corporatisation of the film production and distribution, some professionalism has come among the makers and distributors in Hindi film industry. Artists and crew members have become committed to a film with ‘start to finish’ schedules of shooting. With high budget being the order of the day, films are generally produced by a consortium of film production companies to minimise the financial risk. A film is normally completed in less than a year with a planned release date in advance in most of the films under production. With the corporate approach to making films, the number of shelved or incomplete films seems to have been reduced.

‘Behroopiya’ (UR) was one of the shelved films of the early 1960s. Some details of the film were mentioned in the credit titles of ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983) in which one song from ‘Behroopiya’ was used as a part of the story. As per the details, ‘Behroopiya’ was produced by Navinchandra Shah under the banner of Chandra Movie and was directed by Nandlal Jaswantlal. The film had Raj Kapoor and Vyjayantimala in the lead roles. Lyrics for the song was written by Shailendra and and the music director was Shankar-Jaikishan. The film was Chandulal Shah presentation and the year of production was stated to be 1964.

I have a doubt about the 1964 as the year of production of ‘Behroopiya’. Nandalal Jaswantlal passed away sometime in 1961 and Chandulal Shah took over as a director to complete the film, ‘Akeli Mat Jaiyo’ (1963). This suggests that ‘Behroopiya’ was shot sometime in 1960-61. Most probably, the film was left incomplete after the death of its director, Nandlal Jaswantlal and later shelved in the background of the box office failure of ‘Akeli Mat Jaiyo’ (1963). Well, ‘Behroopiya’ may have inspired Raj Kapoor to produce and direct ‘Mera Naam Joker’ (1971).

I am presenting the only song, ‘hans kar hasaa masti mein gaa’ from the shelved film, ‘Behroopiya’ (1961)UR) which was shot for the film. The song was rendered by Manna Dey on the words of Shailendra which was set to music by Shankar-Jaikishan. At 2:33 of the video clip, dancer, Edwina is seen with Raj Kapoor. The song was included as a part of ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983) and Universal Music released the audio clip of the song in 2013.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————

(Martyr’s day 2024)

Today 30th January is the ‘martyr’s day’ where we pay our tributes to all the known and unknown martyrs of this great country. It is well known fact that during freedom struggle of India i.e. Bharat, many people fought against the British Empire and laid down their lives to see their fellow countrymen free. For years together we have grown-up reading stories of our freedom struggle and the great revolutionaries who sacrificed their lives on the way of their fight for freedom of this country.

Today 30th January’2024 is also the seventy-sixth death anniversary of the Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi. He was assassinated on this day in 1948. Gandhiji’s death anniversary is declared as ‘Sarvoday Diwas’ and ‘Shaheed Diwas’ which is observed at national level in India. The other prominent ‘martyr’s day’ is observed on 23rd March remembering the great revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru. Five more ‘martyr’s day’ are observed at regional and national level as detailed below:-

(Till this post I was not aware of the other days observed as ‘martyr’s day’ except 30th January and 23rd March. It is while reading about 30th January that I came across this information which I am sharing below. It is taken from Wikipedia and other sources on internet).

1) 19 May – In Assam to remember the fifteen people killed by state police on this day in 1961 at Silchar Railway Station, Assam.
2) 13 July – In Jammu & Kashmir remembering twenty-two people killed by royal soldiers on 13th July’1931 when they were demonstrating against Maharaja Hari Singh of Kashmir.
3) 21 October – as Police Martyr’s day observed nation-wide by Police departments in respect of members of Central Reserve Police Force patrol posted at Indo-Tibet border in Ladakh. The Chinese forces ambushed the police personnel in 1958 during the Border Dispute.
4) 17 November – Also the death anniversary of freedom fighter Lala Lajpat Rai is celebrated as Martyr’s day in Odisha in the honor of this great leader.
5) 19 Novemeber – The birthday of Rani Lakshami Bai the queen of Jhansi is celebrated as martyr’s day in the region remembering ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’ and other known unknown freedom fighters who rebelled against the British Rule in ‘1857’.
6) 24 November – the death anniversary of Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur Singh who was executed by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb on 24th Novermber’1674.
7) 15 February – is celebrated in Bihar as ‘Shaheed Diwas’ remembering the thirty-four freedom fighters killed by British Police in Tarapur in 1932 when the martyrs were trying hoist flag of India.
8) 26 December is the latest addition to the above list which is celebrated as ‘Veer Bal Diwas’ which is observed to pay respects to the four sons of Guru Govind Singh who sacrificed their lives and were buried alive by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1704.

On today’s day we pay our respects and tributes to the all great revolutionaries and the many known and unknown peoples of this country who sacrificed their lives for this great country.

On this occasion I am presenting a song from an ‘Unreleased’ movie from the 1970s.

The title of this movie is ‘Watan Ki Khaatir’.

“Watan Ki Khaatir” was produced under the banner of ‘Mamta Cine International’. There is not information about the director and cast of this movie in HFGK. It only mentions the ‘banner’ and the names of the lyricist and music director for this movie.

The song-list for this movie includes only one song which is being presented here today. Manna Dey is the singer. HFGK also mentions the record label for this song i.e. GCIL-Odeon Label.

Let us listen to this in the voice of Manna Dey. Lyrics are by Shakeel Ahmed. This song is in two parts and only the audio of this song is available.

# Songs from Shelved/Unreleased Movies # (Majnoon)
——————————————-———————

Today 10th January’2024 is the eighty-fourth birthday of Legendary Singer Yesudas. On this occasion we wish him a very happy birthday and healthy and peaceful life ahead. And as a part of today’s celebration of his songs we will be listening to a mesmerizing duet song sung by him with Lata Mangeshkar. This song is from an un-released movie “Majnoon”(1979?).

Music for this movie “Majnoon” was composed by legendary music director Khayyam Saab. As per information given in the book “Khayyam – The Man – His Music” by Vishwas Nerurkar and Bishwanath Chatterjee, this movie was produced by Chunibhai Kapadia i.e. father in law of actor Rajesh Khanna. It was under the banner of ‘Ashirwad Films, Bombay’. The director of this movie was Kamal Amrohi. However this movie was later shelved but not before two songs for this movie were already recorded. As per the very short information available about this movie there are only three names mentioned in the cast of this movie and they are Raj Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna and Rakhee. Two lyricist wrote the songs for this movie i.e. Kaifi Azmi and Janisar Akhtar.

Sources mentioned that this movie was launched with much fanfare and even a poster of this movie was also launched which have been uploaded by music lovers who have uploaded the audio of this song. A video of this song is also available but it seems to be an incomplete video where the audio quality is also not good. Some sources also mention Kamal Amrohi as the co-producer of this movie with Rajesh Khanna. There are many things said on the various links available on ‘YouTube’ whose authenticity cannot be verified. What we have with us is this lovely song with some ‘high quality poetry’ by Kaifi Azmi and this composition from the ‘world of Khayyam Saab’.

Let us listen to this song sung by Yesudas and Lata Mangeshkar. As mentioned above the lyrics are by Kaifi Azmi.

In the video of this song (link available) we can see Rajesh Khanna and Rakhee performing on this song.

Once again wishing ‘Yesudas – the special voice’ for me and my world of music and memories, a very happy birthday today!!! (I have earlier written about my memories and nostalgia of Yesudas songs in my post, which interested readers, can read here).

On our blog so far we have sixty-nine songs sung by Yesudas posted till before this post. So we still have a long way to explore and savor the songs sung by him and enjoy and get drowned in into the magic of this voice. In the recent months I have come across and listened many of his songs which I wish to bring here on the blog in future.

Till then, let us get introduced to this song here …

Mukesh and his Composers – 29

I started my series on Mukesh and his Composers with the great Naushad Ali and had mentioned the reasons for the same in the post for the song “Kar Bhala Hoga Bhala“.

Naushad settling with Rafi Saab and Mukesh joining RK films as the resident male playback singer for Raj Kapoor’s productions are well known. However, what remains quite intriguing is to why Naushad avoided Mukesh for two decades in spite of the immense popularity of songs of ‘Mela’ (1948), ‘Anokhi Ada’ (1948) and ‘Andaz’ (1949).

Further, an aspect that I touched upon in my debut post is repeated here. Who is the most prolific male playback singer for Naushad after the obvious Rafi Saab.? Well, read on as answer to this important point in the annals of HFM is covered later on. “Kar Bhala Hoga Bhala” being a debut post, I had not prepared a table of Mukesh’s songs for Naushad and I wish to set that lacuna straight with this post so that the answer to the above question is amply covered.

One more curious point in this collaboration is the number of duets Mukesh sang with Lata for Naushad. This is quite important as it was Mukesh who introduced Lata to Naushad. I have already covered this aspect too in my debut post on the series. The answer strangely is one – a solitary duet in the film ‘Sunahra Sansaar’ (1975).

So, after more than 8 years on covering Mukesh songs for Naushad, today, I bring forth this table detailing the songs. Again, the first 16 songs in the list in only two years of 1948-49 beg the inevitable question as to why a few more gems were not created in the golden era by the duo. And more painful is the fact that we do not get any satisfying or convincing answers. The below table lists the magic that the duo created.

* Multiple Version Song

# Not included in the film

Thus, there are a total of 24 songs. It is to be noted that 2, 8 and 20 respectively in the above list are multiple version songs which are covered as one on our blog. Harish ji in his latest version of Mukesh Geet Kosh however considers 8 and 20 as additional separate songs with different serial numbers. 9 and 14 are considered as NFS, ostensibly recorded for the respective movies. I would again request readers to grab their headphones and wonder regarding the God gifted timbre in the voice of Mukesh for the song “Sunaa’un Kya Main Gham Apna”. Can we have a one- or two-word description for the enchanting experience in listening to this rendition. I failed to come across one. I wonder who introduced this gem to the blog. 😉  And, the fact that this is not a commonly heard song is what makes the experience even more special. It is this aspect that I had mentioned in my post for the song “Tum Hi To Ho Jiska Sapna Maine Dekha Tha

Songs of Yore site contains a detailed blogpost on Mukesh Naushad collaboration for any reader interested in additional information and discussions.

Coming to the most prolific male singer for Naushad after Rafi Saab, MuVyz in one of his comments on Aug 8 2013, had provided numbers of 159, 24, 23 and 15 for Rafi, Mukesh, GM Durrani and Shyam Kumar respectively. Sudhir ji in a quick check has provided me numbers of 19, 10 and 9 for G M Durrani, ShyamKumar and Surendra respectively. I have not checked myself these figures independently. If someone can do a detailed analysis, we could get to the bottom of the question.

However, what is clear is that Mukesh stands tall right after Rafi. Of course, there can be no comparison with Rafi as he sang nearly 7 times more than Mukesh. But it is very interesting to note that out of nearly 70 odd singers for Naushad, Mukesh ranks second in the male category.

Coming to today’s special song, it is clear form the table above that we are talking about a film titled ”Pukar which was being made in the 60’s by Sohrab Modi. The mind cannot help but race to his film of the same title released in 1939. Well, he was planning a remake of the same classic film and had a very illustrative list of actors in it. Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor, Saira Banu, and Rakhee were scheduled to play the main characters in the film. For some reason, the film never saw the light of the day. There is one incident recollected by Naushad somewhere wherein he recounts Mukesh returning his paycheck to Sohrab Modi and telling him that he would take the money after the film is a hit. It was probably a time when Modi was running through a bad phase financially. There are some references on the net which say that a few shots with Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu were shot. And since these two songs are available, it is apparent that these were to be shot on Raj Kapoor.

I do not count these as NFS. They may not be anywhere at par with the magic created by the duo in the late 40’s, but then times had changed and also lyrics of the songs toe pretty well in line with the plot of the shelved film.

As evident in the table above, all but the two songs from this movie have already been covered on the blog. I request the editors to add this important table to my first post in the series as supplementary information.

For today’s post, I take up the song “Torey Kurte Se Tohra Tan Jhalke”.

Editor’s note:-With this song, Asha Bhonsle silently reaches 3100 songs mark in the blog.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.122
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years ago (22 May 2013),seven songs from seven digfferent movies was covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
8110 Main teri huyi re baalma Gehra Daagh(1963) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
8111 Saanwariya teri yaad mein ro ro marenge ham Ramu To Deewaana Hai(1980) 2 songs covered out of 10 by now
8112 Suraj ki garmi se jalte huye tan ko 2/3 Parinay (1974) 2 songs covered out of 3 by now
8113 Aaye aaye re nanhe munne raaja ko nindiya sulaaye Doosri Sita (1974) Movie YIPPEED in the blog with this song
8114 Jhoomta muskuraata chal Mauqa (UR)(1970) One song covered out of 4
8115 Toone har raat muhabbat ki qasam khaayee hai Ganga Ki Saugandh(1978) Movie YIPPEED by now
8116 Tu meri adhoori pyaas pyaas Ghajini (2008) 1 song covered out of 5 by now

We observe that two movies (out of seven) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. One movie was YIPPEED on this date ten years ago itself.

That leaves us with five unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today.

“Mauqa”(1970) was an unreleased movie. The movie remained unreleased but four of its songs that were recorded were released in 1970. As for the details, the only detail available about the movie is hat it was produced under the banner of Give and Take movies. The movie had Nipon Goswami and Shobhana in it, perhaps in the lead roles.

One song from this unreleased movie was covered in the blog on this date ten years ago. Here is the second song from the movie.

This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Abhilaash is the lyricist. Music is composed by Asit Ganguly.

From the lyrics, it appears to be an introduction song, where a kid, who would grow up to be the hero, sings this song on the streets a bit like how Amitabh Bachchan wouldsing “rote huye aate hain sab hansta hua jo jaayega” in “Muqaddar Ka Sikandar”(1978) eight years later. That is my guess about the picturisation of this song. 🙂 I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song, in case this song managed to get picturised.

Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

This post is the 17700th song post for the blog.

Blog Day :

5394 Post No. : 17700

Yesterday (24 April 2023), I was on an overdrive, as far as posting of articles in the blog was concerned. I ended up posting as many as eight articles on that day. Posting eight articles in a day was fairly common in the blog one decade ago. For instance, during april 2013, eight articles were covered on ten days and nine articles were covered on another four days. That year saw eight songs posted on as many as 36 days (10% of the days in that year). But things are different now a days. During the last seven years, we have touched this figure of eight songs in a day only four times !

Sudhir Jee noticed this “unusual” flurry of activity and enquired whether I was targetting century post the next day. Indeed that was my target. Earlier in the month, I was maintaining an average of about 3.3 songs per day. That would have led to Blog century getting reached on 28 April 2023 and century of songs for the month on 30 April 2023. But I thought that leaving things that late was not advisable. Leaving things till the last moment can often lead to failure to reach the target due to unforeseen circumstances that may suddenly crop up. Moreover, doing the bare minimum was making things routine and boring. Most articles by me were becoming mere formalities to just keep things going by avoiding DOT days and ensuring blog centuries at the rate of one century per month. Where were articles by me that gave me creative satisfaction and earned appreciation from learned regulars and others in the past ? It is time I got my creative juices flowing again instead of just doing routine work. I have so many topics in mind where I could write articles that readers may find interesting and hopefully useful.

Coming to the query from Sudhir Jee, I informed him that that yes, I wanted to complete the blog century the next day. And no I had no plans lined up for the century post. We vaguely discussed if any anniversaries are coming or any artist is reaching his century. One artist is reaching his century. But I thought that the century post should contain a song more special than that.

I recalled that may years ago I had discovered several rare songs and I had saved them as text files under headings like “rare”, “Rarer”, “rarest”, “rarest of rarest” etc. I went through those lists. I found that quite a few of those songs have since been covered in the blog. Some of them by me, some by others. Some of them as special posts such as century posts, some of them as just routine posts.

Finally I have chosen a “rarest of rarest” category of song. On checking up, I realised that one song from this movie has already been covered. But thankfully the song that I had picked for this occasion was not that song. 🙂

I listened to the song again. I liked the song. It was a cheerful peppy song, and not a sad melancholic song that we tended to have in plenty those days.
This song is sung by Rafi. Surjeet Sethi is the lyricist. S Mohinder is the music director.

The only thing known about this movie is that it was produced by SS Movie makers and that it had seven plus songs issed under record numbers GE 8672 to GE 8675.

Incidentally when I “discovered” this song many years ago, the lyricist name was mentioned as Sujit Sinha. 🙂 Sadanand Kamath jee, who posted the other song from this movie in the past, had done lots of research on this movie and he had gave facts and figures that I could use in this post. HFGK mentions this song as from an unreleased movie of 1940s called “Geet aur Aansoo”. Sadanand Kamath jee has deduced that this song is from the year 1947 because the lyricist Surjeet Singh and music director S Mohinder first met in 1947 and this appears to be their first collaboration as well as their debut movie in Hindi movies.. This movie may have been unrealesed but its seven songs were planned and recorded in 1947. Sadanand Kamath jee also finds Rafi’s voice in this movie resembling his voice in 1947, such as in the movie “Jugnu”(1947). So all these corcumstancial evidences suggests that this movie and song are from 1947.

This movie does not figure in the filmographies of S Mohinder and Surjeet Sethi. This song is mentioned in HFGK, but singer name is not mentioned there. This song does not figure in the excel sheet listing Rafi songs. That is how rare this song is. For many listeners, this may be the first time they will be listening to this song. A great cheerful Rafi song it is. This song is worthy of being discussed as the blog post number 17700, viz 177th century post for the blog.

This century was reached in 28 days. Hopefully we will be able to reduce the number of days for a century even further in coming months, though I doubt we may touch the heady days of yore when we routinely had centuries in 16 days and less.

PS- When I got to read the post by Sudhir jee posted just prior to this post, that served as a great source of motivation. Yes, that is the kind of articles one needs to write to catch the readers’s attention and keep them mesmerised. So I hope to write at least some posts like that in the days to come. 🙂

I take this opportunity to thank one and all for their continued support in helping this musical bandwagon keep going on and on. Hopefully this bandwagon will keep rolling, perhaps even get second wind, third wind etc and thereby pick speed. We still have a long long way to go in our musical journey and we have yet to many forgotten gems to discover. And the journey resumes with a renewerd vigour and fresh guard as early as tomorrow. 🙂

#the Decade of Seventies – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————————————

Today 20th April 2023 is the fifty third ‘remembrance anniversary’ of the legendary lyricist Shakeel Badayuni.

He was born on 3rd August 1916 and he passed away on 20th April 1970.

As a tribute to him, today I am presenting a song penned by him from an ‘un-released’ movie ‘Jitni Door Utne Paas-1960’.

Very little information is available about this movie in HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1960). The name of the director is not mentioned. The details about the cast is not available either.
However, Geet Kosh mentions the list of four songs for this movie and the lyricist name is given as Shakeel Badayuni for all four songs.

Music for this movie was composed by C. Ramchandra.

Geet Kosh also mentions the name of singers as Lata Mangeshkar, Mahendra Kapoor, Chitalkar and Manna Dey.

Here is a brief about this movie as mentioned by our respected Shri Arunkumar ji his comments on the first song of this movie. (I have only included the portion of his comment about the movie and not the other details about Lata-C Ramchandra combination and their relationship).

JITNE DOOR UTNE PAAS-1961 was to be a Raghavan production film in which, as per plans, the lead pair was to be Pradeep Kumar and Bina Rai. However, 4 songs were recorded and the film was abandoned after shooting few reals.it was never completed also.

One song from this movie ‘hamne apnaa tumhe samjhaa ye badi bhool huyi’ has been posted on the blog on 05.01.2012.

Today I present another song from this movie. It is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and music is composed by C. Ramchandra.

Lyrics for today’s song are by Shakeel Badayuni. We are paying our tributes to him today on the occasion of his ‘fifty-third’ ‘Remembrance Anniversary’.

Let us now listen to this song …

Only the audio of the song is available.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Debutant Movie – Raajkumaar Sooraj (UR))
——————————————-———————————————

Welcome all to this post of mine which is coming after a short break. To resume the ‘musical journey’ on the blog I am once again taking readers through the ‘seventies’. T song that I am presenting is from an ‘Un-released’ movie from the ‘1970s’.

This movie is titled as ‘Raajkumaar Sooraj’.

As per HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) this movie was a ‘Bharat Kala Mandir’ presentation.

The director’s name of this movie is not known as HFGK does not mention it.

However, during my browsing for songs of this movie I have come across a couple of links which have some information about this movie. One is from an account whose name is ‘Bharat Kala Mandir’ itself. As per this link the year of this movie is mentioned as ‘1962’ (which I guess should be correct going by the names included in the cast of this movie).

The cast of this movie has the names of Azad, Indira, B.M. Vyas, and Ratnamala.

This link also mentions A. Kumar as the director of this movie and S.P. Sharma as the producer of this movie.

However, there is another link which contains all the five songs of this movie and this link mentions the year of this movie as ‘1973’.

As per HFGK Vol-V Iqbal was the music composer for this movie. HFGK mentions five songs for this movie and it is possible that this movie had some more songs which were not recorded or not known.

Prem Bhatani and Saba Fazli are the lyricists for the songs in this movie and they penned two and three song lyrics respectively.

Today I present a wonderful duet or gem of song from this ‘unreleased/incomplete’ movie which is sung by Suman Kalyanpur and Mohd Rafi.

Listening to this song will take readers to the refreshing memories of the duets from the ‘sixties’. I am sure this duet deserves to be in the list of the ‘all time hits’ duets sung by Mohd Rafi and Suman Kalyanpur. But unfortunately it remained unknown and a ‘forgotten’ one as the movie was not completed or not released.

Let us now enjoy this classic composition and welcome ‘Raajkumaar Sooraj’ on the blog.

I would request our seniors in this group and knowledgeable readers to add more information about this movie and its songs.


Song-Dekhiye aap hamen is tarah na dekha keeje (Rajkumar Sooraj)(UR)(1962) Singers-Suman Kalyanpur, Mohd Rafi, Lyrics-Saba Fazli, MD-Iqbal

Lyrics

dekhiye aap hamen
dekhiye aap hamen
is tarah naa dekhaa keeje ae
dekhiye aap hamen
is tarah naa dekhaa keeje ae
aap bhi mere khayaalon mein
naa aaya keeje
aap bhi mere khayaalon mein
naa aaya keeje

dekhiye aap hamen
is tarah naa dekhaa keeje

aankhon hi aankhon mein
jaadu saa jagaa dete ho o
aankhon hi aankhon mein ae ae
aankhon hi aankhon mein
jaadu saa jagaa dete ho o
dil mein khaamosh saa
toofaan uthhaa dete ho
is tarah se naa aa
is tarah se naa
meri duniyaa pe
chhaayaa keeje ae
dekhiye aap hamen
is tarah naa dekhaa keeje

ye damaktaa huaa chehraa
ye machalti zulfen aen
ye damaktaa huaa aa aa
ye damaktaa huaa chehraa
ye machalti zulfen aen
nashe mein doobi huyi
haaye ye bojhal palkein
aap aise naa aa
aap aise naa mere hosh
udaayaa keeje ae

dekhiye aap hamen
is tarah naa dekhaa keeje
