‘Naukri’ (1978) was produced under the banner of R S J Productions and was directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The cast included Rajesh Khanna, Zaheera and Raj Kapoor in main roles supported by Om Shivpuri, Pratima Devi, Tom Alter, V Gopal, Meena Roy, Vijay Sharma, Aarti, Lalita Kumari, Master Akbar etc. Nadira, A K Hangal, Jayshree T and Younus Parvez made the friendly appearances and Keshto Mukherjee, Padma Khanna and Deven Varma made guest appearances in the film. The film was released in the theatres on June 09, 1978. The film’s story was written by Salil Chowdhury who also provided the background music.

After the box office success of Hrishikesh Mukherjee-Rajesh Khanna combination in ‘Anand’ (1970), ‘Baawarchi’ (1972) and Namak Haraam’ (1973), Hrishikesh Mukherjee commenced shooting of ‘Naukri’ (1978) sometime in 1974 in which he also took his close friend, Raj Kapoor. However, the film took relatively longer time to complete in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s standard. While I could not get authentic information as to why the film got delayed, it appears that there was some disagreement between Rajesh Khanna and the film’s producers which made the shooting schedules going awry. My guess is that when two super stars are working in the film, getting the fresh common dates from them becomes difficult. I also came to know from Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s biography that he lost interest in the film due to delay as well as the prevailing political situation in the country (Emergency during 1975-77).

The film had an unusual story of a World War-II soldier who has become physically challenged after the war. After the end of the war and till few days before India’s independence in 1947, he has remained unemployed. Hence, he cannot take care of his mother, sister and a brother. In desperation, he commits suicide. The interesting part of the story of the film begins at this point when he meets a Captain who reveals that both of them belong to a different world (ghosts’ world) now. The rest of the film is about sharing their past lives and mingling with other ghosts who in turns also share their past lives. The detailed story of the film is as under:

Physically challenged Ranjit (Rajesh Khanna) stays with his widowed mother (Pratima Devi), a teenage sister, Rekha (Aarti) and an adopted younger brother in a small house. Due to his physical condition, Ranjit is not able to get employment and to take care of his family. His landlord has asked him to vacate the house within 24 hours because he has not paid the rent for months. Depressed with the family’s condition, Ranjit commit suicide by jumping from the bridge over a passing train. He is dead.

A crowd gather watching the dead body of Ranjit. Suddenly, a bewildered Ranjit finds himself with the crowd. At that moment, Swaraj Singh (Raj Kapoor) appears and introduces himself as Captain to Ranjit. He points out that both of them now belong to the community of ghosts and people around them would not feel their presence nor would they hear their voices. First, Ranjit refuses to believe what Captain says. But when he realises that both his legs have become normal and his dead body still lies on the railway track, he tends to believe what Captain has told him.

Captain introduces other ghosts, one of them being a couple (Deven Varma and Jayshri T) who had committed suicide when their parents opposed their marriage. They get united in the ghost community. However, as they are ghosts, they cannot be physically close. Then, there is Rasiklal (Yunus Parvez) who is after Deven Varma for running away with his wife of previous birth (Jayshri T) but cannot catch them physically. Ranjit also meets a former British police officer, Anderson (Tom Alter) who was killed by two revolutionaries. Ranjit is surprised because being a British national, he should have been in their community of ghosts. Captain explains that he is here because apart from his bonhomie with two revolutionaries who are also here after they were hanged till death, his lover, Ferozabai (Padma Khanna) is also here.

Captain tells Ranjit that, now it is the time for him to tell as to why he has committed suicide. Ranjit starts his story from the college days when he spent good days with his family. He was a mixed doubles champion in Badminton in the college with his partner, Ramola (Zaheera) who was in love with Ranjit. However, Ranjit was not sure that their love for each other would convert into a marriage as Ramola was from a wealthy family and her father (Om Shivpuri) would not agree for the marriage. Ranjit’s father who was not keeping good health had to mortgage his house to run the family. After his death, he sold the house and shifted to a small house with his family.

Ramola continued her relationship with Ranjit. Even Ramola’s father was agreeable for the marriage provided he joined his company and proved his worthy of being his son-in-law. Ranjit was not agreeable, and the marriage proposal was terminated. At this stage, Captain interrupts Ranjit and tells him that his life story sounds like a Hindi film story – like Devdas, and he knows as to what next stage of his story would be. He presumes that after separation from Ramola, either Ranjit would get soaked in alcohol or he would start singing ghazals of separation. Ranjit tells Captain that he has not done anything of those sorts. Instead, he joined the army and in a war front, he got badly injured on both the legs. He was hospitalised and after recovery, he was on the crutches making his life miserable and for the same reason, he was unemployed. He could not get compensation from the army despite persuing for months because he could not prove that he lost his legs in the army operations. So, he committed suicide.

Curiosity makes Ranjit to ask Captain as to how he has landed in the community of ghosts. Captains says that his story is simple. As his name. Swaraj Singh suggests, he was from a freedom fighter’s family. However, he lost his father in the freedom struggle, and he had to look for some job to earn money for the family. So, he came to Mumbai and joined the film industry as a body double. During a scene picturisation when he was sitting astride on the horse as a body double for the hero, the horse suddenly slipped and fell in the deep valley killing him.

Ranjit is worried as to how his mother, sister and brother are managing to sustain. Captain points out that now it is none of his business to worry about them. If he was really concerned about them, he would not have committed suicide. Nonetheless, Captain takes him to show that his mother has become a beggar. His sister has become a prostitute, and his younger brother is selling candy in the train. Ranjit is devasted seeing his family’s flights. But he cannot help them as he is a ghost. Captain reminds him that he should have thought of this before committing suicide which is akin to running away from one’s responsibilities.

A gloomy Ranjit suddenly sees Ramola and a smile comes to his face. Ramola is also happy to see Ranjit and tells him that she committed suicide when she came to know that he had committed suicide. With this happy coincidence, Captain arranges a party for community of ghosts to cheer up Ranjit who has now got the company of Ramola. In the party, Captain is surprised to find his acquittance, Lily (Nadira), a call girl who had met Ranjit when he was alive and was in depressed mood. She gives a good and bad news to Captain. The good news is that India has got independence, and the bad news is that India is partitioned on the basis of Hindi and Muslim. Captain is devasted by the second news who was a firm believer of an united India. Captain vanishes into thin air.

Ranjit and Ramola exchange the events which led to their respective suicides. She laments that if he had apprised her of his problems, she would have managed to get him some work and in that case lives of both of them would have been saved. Now since both of them are ghosts, she wants to hear from him that he still loves her. When Ranjit tells her the same, she says she has remained ghost to hear these words. Having heard so, she is now free to renounce her present form. After this, Ramola also vanishes into thin air as if she has got salvation after Ranjit’s affirmation that he still loves her. Having left alone, Ranjit sees a procession in which his mother, sister and brother are participants. A police van comes and a police officer fires on the procession in which most of the persons are killed including Ranjit’s family. The film has a very unusual, surprising end.

The film is stated to be loosely inspired from Hollywood film, ‘It is a Wonderful Life’ (1946) by Frank Capra. While the basic idea may have been derived from this film, ‘Naukri’ (1978) is different in terms of story background and supernatural events peculiar to India. The first half of the film has been beautifully crafted which has Hrishikesh Mukherjee touch. However, in the second half of the film, Hrishikesh Mukherjee touch is majorly missing. Towards the end of the film, there are some preachings on the lines of what IPTA members would usually raise in their films. As mentioned earlier, it was said that Hrishikesh Mukherjee had lost interest in this film due to delay in completing the film.

Nonetheless, I found the film to be interesting one to watch. More than two-thirds of the film have Raj Kapoor and Rajesh Khanna in the frames. I always liked Rajesh Khanna in unconventional roles and this film was no exception. The role of Raj Kapoor in this film was dominant one whereas Rajesh Khanna was in a subdued role. The super stars in their contrasting roles gave their excellent performances worthy of watching them together for the first time in this film. Despite the presence of two super stars, the film failed at the box office. I feel that the film was not well publicised as I do not even recall this film. R D Burman’s average compositions failed to make the songs popular. As often happens, most of the delayed films do not perform well on the box office. By the way, it was the last film, both for Raj Kapoor and Rajesh Khanna with Hrishikesh Mukherjee.

The film had 4 songs written by Anand Bakshi and set to music by R D Burman. I am presenting the first song from the film, ‘upar jaake yaad aayi neeche ki baaten’ to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Mukesh for Raj Kapoor. Rajesh Khanna and Zaheera are also present in the audience.

The background to the song is that on the eve of India’s independence and also for the first time, Captain (Raj Kapoor) has seen Ranjit (Rajesh Khanna) in a happy face, (Raj Kapoor ) arranges a party for the ghost community. Ranjit is happy that his beloved Ramola (Zaheera) has also joined the ghost community after her suicide. Incidentally, much before this song sequence, Captain (Raj Kapoor) has actually delivered the dialogue which corresponds to the first two lines of the song when Ranjit starts worrying about the well beings of his mother, sister and brother.

‘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.

Hullo Atuldom

“Saajan ki Saheli” (1980) was a film that was produced & directed by Saawan Kumar Tak (9th August 1936- 25th August 2022). The songs were written by Majrooh Sultanpuri (1st October 1919- 25th May 2000) & Saawan Kumar Tak. Usha Khanna (d.o.b. 7th October 1941) was the music director. Asha Bhonsle, Sulakshana Pandit, Mohd Rafi, Mahendra Kapoor, Suresh Wadkar & Usha Khanna (herself) were the playback singers.

The film was a typical, simplistic melodrama. It was the story of a young unmarried girl who gets pregnant, giving birth to a girl but refusing to accept the child. On growing up the girl discovers the truth of her birth, tracks her mother down. The girl teams up with her mother’s husband to get her mother admit the parentage & accept her, even if her own love-life is compromised in the situation.

Nutan played mother to Rekha. Rajendra Kumar was Nutan’s husband & Anil Dhawan (guest appearance) the cause of Nutan’s pregnancy. Suresh Oberoi played a ‘Narad’ kind character giving the viewer a feeling that he is the villain. Vinod Mehra was a singer who falls in love with Rekha.

This film came in the period when Rekha was having a successful run at the box-office after being appreciated for her role in “Khubsoorat”. In fact 1980 was a Jackpot year of her career as she was seen in 12 films including a guest appearance in the Marathi film ‘Fatakadi’. I have seen the lavani sequence from that film a long time ago. ‘Jise tu kubool kar le’ (never heard of this film), ‘Jyoti Bane Jwala’ (a guest appearance), ‘Kali Ghata’, ‘Jal Mahal’, ‘Agreement ‘, ‘Neeyat’, ‘Judaai’, ‘Ram Balram’, ‘Maang Bharo Sajna’, ‘Aanchal’, & ‘Khubsoorat’ were the films of 1980 & I have seen all of them & 50% of them in a cinema hall. She was appreciated in “Saajan ki Saheli” also. Nutan was the other saving grace of this film.

Today on the occasion of Rekha’s 69th birthday we shall have a stage song from this Saawan Kumar film. The singers in the song are Usha Khanna, Suresh Wadkar & Mahendra Kapoor.

With this song we also wish Belated birthday wishes to Usha Khanna & think of Majrooh Sultanpuri whose birthdays just went by.

This post celebrated Rekha’s birthday on the blog 10 years back.

Hullo Atuldom

‘Sindoor’ (1987) was a movie produced by A Krishnamurti & directed by K Ravi Shankar. The movie starred Shashi Kapoor, Jaya Prada, Govinda, Neelam, Kadar Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Gulshan Grover, Aruna Irani, Asrani, Baby Guddu (the pet child actor of those times), AK Hangal, Prem Chopra (if my memory is correct Prem Chopra was in a double role), & Ramesh Deo. Jeetendra & Rishi Kapoor had guest & special appearance respectively. Songs were written by Anand Bakshi & tuned by Laxmi-Pyaare.

This lyricist-music director team gave us some great songs in that period. Today’s song is no less a melody. It was very popular in its time, heard often on Doordarshan (Chhaayageet etc.) & Vividh Bharati. The song had two versions, both were on-stage performances. One version had Shashi Kapoor & Neelam while the other was a duet between Rishi Kapoor & Jaya Prada. The common link between the 2 versions were Lata Mangeshkar and most of the lyrics. The male singers used for the two heroes were Suresh Wadkar & Mohammad Aziz.

Rishi Kapoor (Kumar) played a stage artist who had Jaya Prada (Laxmi) as his singing partner. Shashi Kapoor (Vijay) who played a professor who always had doubts about being worthy of his beautiful wife Laxmi in spite of being happily married. He had a feeling that Kumar & Laxmi shared more than their love for music. The gossip among fans of the music duo hardly helps matters. Things get out of hand & eventually, Laxmi leaves her home. On the same day, Vijay comes to know that Kumar is marrying someone else when he comes to invite Laxmi & Vijay.

The film had a few flashbacks – one showed the story of Laxmi, Vijay & Kumar and the other showed how Laxmi came to wear the white saree denoting that she was a widow. I think that there was one more flashback which showed why Lalita (Neelam) is kidnapped by Shera (Shakti Kapoor) when she was a baby & Prem Kapoor (Jeetendra) requesting Laxmi to take care of Lalita as her own child.

Then the film goes through a lot of scenes where the characters use glycerine at times when there are misunderstandings (there are many in the film), lot of sermons delivered by Kader Khan and a little dishoom-dishoom (what is a Hindi movie without dishoom-dishoom specially when Govinda & Shakti Kapoor are in the cast 🙂 ) The film comes to a close with Laxmi & Vijay getting back together. Vijay accepts Lalita as a daughter, and Ravi (Govinda) & Lalita get married with parental blessings from Laxmi and Vijay. And there are smiles all around.

Jaya Prada’s first hero in Hindi films was Rishi Kapoor, this was their second film which was followed by ‘Ghar Ghar Ki Kahani’ in 1988. This was the only film which had Shashi Kapoor sharing screen space with Jaya Prada.

Incidentally, today is Rishi Kapoor’s birth anniversary. He would have turned 71. And yesterday was Pyaarelal Ramprasad Sharma’s 83rd birthday. I hope I don’t need to say that Pyaarelal Ramprasad Sharma is Pyaarelal of the Laxmi-Pyaare duo.

Wishing Pyaarelal ji a (belated) happy birthday and remembering our cute Kapoor ‘Chintu’ a.k.a Rishi Kapoor.

#the Decade of – 2000 – 2010 #
———————————————————————

During the travels that I had in recent months, I had a trip to north. It included visiting Dalhousie, Dharamshala, and the tourist spots near to these places. The last leg of our trip was visiting Amritsar. We had planned to visit the Jalianwaala Bagh Memorial, Golden Temple and the Wagah Border. On 16th April 2023 morning we started from Dharamshala for Amritsar. Since we got late in the morning we reached Amritsar around three o’ clock in the afternoon. We straightway visited the Jalianwaala Bagh Memorial first and from there decided to go to Wagah Border first as the time for beating retreat ceremony was getting closer. So we thought that after the visit to the border we would be visiting the Golden Temple in the evening later.

It was getting late and by the time we reached the Wagah Post and it was around five in the evening. The stadium there was already fully crowded as it was a Sunday that day. We got our seats in the balcony on the top floor. The whole atmosphere there was full of joy, excitement and pride for the country. The stands were full and the music on. There were the big TV screens already on the corners of the gates at the borders and it was playing the history and achievements of BSF.

Here I am not going into the details of the parade, its process or the other technicalities and the procedures. It is all available on the internet and there is a wiki page on it too. But here I would definitely like to mention that I was totally in a different world there and so were all the members with me and I think even all the audiences gathered there. Being physically present there is totally different than watching the parade on TV screen at your home. The anchor or conductor in charge there is so full of energy that there is not a single dull moment you would feel and all our senses are only focused on the gates at the border, the tricolor at the top and the non-stop slogans enchanted by the peoples present there.

The officer in charge seemed to be carrying a non-stop flow of huge energy within him. He keep motivating the stands from each side and then combining them as whole and all responding to him with the same energy in return. I was feeling myself very fortunate to get this witnessed all and that too on the border where I can see the neighboring country’s land so near to me. It was like a dream coming true for me. Though I have traveled a lot but still a lot is still to be visited. And visiting places that we had read about in books of history since schooldays gives a rare satisfaction and a moment full of pride and love for one’s country.

This is something all that is beyond words for me. Our hearts get filled with pride, our chests pumped to the fullest and our heads held high!!! Such was this moment!!!

Later on we met the guards or the soldiers there and speak to some of them. Then only we realize how they are performing their duties there with a round the clock vigil there at the border. The soldiers come from different states and speak different languages but here they are all one. They are all Indians. And we the people are all Indians there. Not a single moment the thought of caste, creed, religion, race etc comes to our mind there.

I had to celebrate this visit and so this post.

You may call it a ‘by-product-post’ of that detailed post I had written here earlier. (And, yes, one more related to that trip is yet to come). Eventually these posts got delayed. But I had a song in my mind since long that I wished to share here. And it couldn’t have better song than a song from a Sunny Deol movie where he is performing on it in his ‘own style’.

***

And in between, after that travel the Mumba Gangout happened. And I got a chance to meet Atul ji. Another long cherished dream to meet him in person was fulfilled. Someone won’t believe this but I have to share this that many times I had dreams of meeting Atul ji and Sudhir ji in person before actually meeting them. And whenever I had such dreams I used to think if I would ever be able to meet them in person or not? But I am thankful to God for giving me this opportunity to meet them and our other senior members (second time) in this life only. 🙂
Nahin to main bhoot ban ke mandraataa phirtaa. . .

Atul ji has given us this unique blog and the many many reasons to enjoy music, nostalgia, childhood memories and the real life situations that we have passed through and that we will be going through more till we are here. This unique blog now has become a very special unique blog on internet over the globe. This blog have won millions of heart and continues to do so.

Jahaan jaatein hain chhaa jaatein hain … Atul ji tussi great ho!!

 I don’t know why but sometimes I become Punjabi. (I am Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Bihari, UPian and like that … I am Indian after all 🙂 ).

Our Shri Sudhir ji has often mentioned Atul ji as our ‘fearless leader’ which also means

Sherdil Indian

What did you say? You are getting to some song or want to ‘have’ a ‘bhangraa’ (bangraa paa le … i.e. why the ‘have’ and not ‘do’ :). We have a reason for that too!!!

It is our Atul ji’s birthday today.

And I wish that when he is cutting the cake he plays this song on the speakers with a big volume if not full volume. I hope there is not any Nana Patekar ‘Agnisakshi’ type neighbor around around there.

In the first meeting with Atul ji we all were expecting him to speak more because we want to listen to him. But I think he is as ‘shy’ as we see ‘Sunny Deol’ in public appearances, but he is in full ‘action’ when he is on the blog. Sunny Paa ji also excels in ‘action’ only. 🙂

That is why they say ‘your actions should speak louder than your words’ . (In Sunny paa ji’s case only both can speak quite loud). 🙂

Oh. . . again I am back to Sunny paa ji. . . 

There was a time in those ‘Gadar’ days when I used to watch every Sunny Deol movie at least two times or more.

Hoping more sunny days around …

Wishing Atul ji a very happy birthday … once again with a ‘rocking’ Sunny Deol song…

 

About the movie

 ‘Jaal – The Trap’ (2003) was directed by Guddu Dhanoa for Parth Productions, Mumbai. It was produced by Vinod Shah and Harish Shah. It had Sunny Deol, Tabu, Reema Sen, Anupam Kher, Farida Jalal, Ashish Vidyarthi, Mukesh Rishi, and Amrish Puri. The  supporting cast include Virendra Saxena, Shahbaz Khan, Ragesh Asthana, Amit Bhalla, Kishori Kulkarni, Bobby Saini, Prem Lala, Raj Nair, Ghanshyam Rohera, Susheel Parashar, Raj Tilak, Deepak Bhatia, Nikhil Kumar, Rocky Fernandes, Sanjeev Nanda, and others.

Story and screenplay of this movie was written by Rajiv Kaul and Praful Parekh. Dialogues for this movie were written by Dilip Shukla. Sanjay Verma was the editor of this film. Background music for this movie was given by Aadesh Shrivastava. The action by Tinu Verma in this movie is brilliant and that all comes in the second half of the movie. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 12.03.2003.

The movie has six songs. Sameer and Anand Raj Anand are the lyricists for this movie. And songs were composed by Anand Raj Anand. Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan, Kumar Sanu, Zubin, Chitra, and Anand Raj Anand had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

I would like to mention in very brief about this movie that this movie had a very good plot with a ‘tricky-twist’. From the cast we can easily guess that the performances were good too. But still this movie failed to make an impact on the box office. It was because of the length of the movie and especially the first half of the movie which got a bad review by all. Had the first half of this movie been edited and the film was reduced in length like a Hollywood movie, it would have been a great movie. Yes, of course, the songs also needed to be ‘cut’ except today’s song. 🙂

This movie was shot at some beautiful outdoor locations in New Zealand, Kulu, Manali, Dalhousie, Shimla, Bikaner and Nasik. This song is picturised in Shimla, at the picturesque Ridge location on the Mall. The hero of the movie Sunny Deol as expected excels in ‘action’ but none the less whenever he is doing a ‘foot tapping’ performance like in the today’s song is always a ‘treat’ to watch and enjoyable too.

Major Amrish Kaul (Amrish Puri) has been given with the responsibility of protecting Anita Chaudhury (Reema Sen) who is a daughter of Minister Bhagwat Chaudhury (Virendra Saxena). Assisting Major Kaul in this assignment is Captain Amarjeet Singh (Shahbaz Khan). Anita is in New Zealand and terror groups are planning to kidnap her.

In this gang we have Naved Rabbani (Ashish Vidyarthi) and Junaid Afghani (Mukesh Rishi). Naved Rabbani is already arrested earlier and in police custody. To get Naved released, the ‘terrorists’ have plans to kidnap Anita. Anita has been given special instructions for venturing outside and the limits have been prescribed which she should not cross over. But she ventures out with her friends for skiing. As expected the terrorists group attacks Anita but their attempt is foiled by Major Kaul and his army.

Anita begs pardon of Major Uncle after this incident. Major Uncle is supposed to travel to India but he is trying to cancel this visit. But finally, Anita accepts her mistake and assures to obey the instructions of Mr. Kaul further. Kaul Saab is travelling to India and Anita insists to see him off at the airport. So she accompanies him to the airport. On the way she inquires about the family of Major Kaul and the family members. When Major tells her that he has son named Ajay (Sunny Deol), she asks what he is doing ‘kya kartaa hai wo’.

‘Woh kya kartaa hai aur kya karnaa chaahtaa hai inhin sawaalon ke jawaab to dhhoondhhne ki koshish kar rahaa hoon. Jo main chaahtaa hoon woh chaahtaa nahin, aur jo woh kartaa hai meri samajh mein nahin aata’. 

‘Magar, aisaa kartaa kya hai?’

Here, enters Ajay on the screen with a mandolin in his hand singing this song.

. . .

This film makes its debut on the blog today.

Enjoy 🙂

For Atul ji – jahaan jaatein hain chhaa jaatein hain – musical blogs ki duniyaa mein ‘NUMBER ONE’ .

Today’s song is an interesting Trio from an old film Ghayal-1951.

The cast of the film was Sulochana Chaterjee, Shaikh Mukhtar, Geeta Bali, Jawahar Kaul, Ramsingh, p.Kailash, pesi Patel, Honey O’Brien, Yeshwant Dave, Rewa Shankar Marwadi and many more. There were 7 Lyricists for 11 songs of the film (one of them is a 2 part song). Likewise there were 6 singers. The M.D. was Gyan Dutt. All the singers were well known, except the singer ‘ Bhola’.

Many people think that Bhola was Bhola Shreshtha, the M.D., but it’s not true. This Bhola was Bulo C Rani,M.D. He joined the industry to be a singer. Khemchand Prakash gave him an opportunity to sing in the film Mehmaan-1942. Later, the same year,Gyan Dutt also gave him songs.Bulo C Rani sang 34 songs in 19 films – initial in his own name, and from 1944 onwards as ‘Bhola’, as he had become a Music Director himself by then, from film Moorti-1944.

Bulo C Rani was a Science graduate. In those days of early cinema, most people who joined the film line were less educated and mostly from lower middle class or poor families. Not ALL of course. There were few highly educated actors, directors, MDs etc but their number was much less. Actresses like Renuka Devi, Vanmala, Nalini Tarkhad etc. were graduates. Actors like Ashok kumar and Ranjan were graduates. Artistes like Dewan Sharar, Devika rani and Shakuntala Paranjpye had International experience, they wrote books also. Director Nanubhai Vakil and actor Surendra were BA,LL.B.

Ramchandra Thakur, Producer and Director of film Ghayal-51, was also from Elite and highly educated class. He also wrote articles in magazines – before and after his film career. Ramchandra Thakur was one such scholarly person who was a Postgraduate and a prolific writer on films in English, Hindi and Gujarati, before joining films. Ramchandra Thakur was born in Suver of Sabarkantha district in Gujarat, on 17-12-1908. He moved to Bombay when he was just 9 year old. He pursued his higher education in Bombay and emerged as a scholar of Pali language. When he gave his M.A. final exam, he wanted to become a teacher in a college, if he got First class. If not, he would join the film industry as a director. During his college years he had written many articles on films. He had translated Sound Recordist Minu Katrak’s English works in Hindi and Gujarati.

When he did not get First class, he joined Sagar Movietone, in its Marketing department. After a few months, Baburao Patel took over from him and he became an assistant director to Chimanlal Luhar for the film Dynamite-38. Next, along with Virendra Desai ( Nalini Jaywant’s first husband), he became a co-director of the film The Gramophone Singer-38. His first film, as an independent Director was the Debut film of Snehprabha Pradhan – Civil marriage-40. Then he joined Ranjit Movietone. He directed mythological, Social and Comedy films. Art Director Kanu Desai’s film Geet Govind was directed by him. Thakur directed 20 films. He also wrote the script for the popular film Baiju Bawra-52. He produced 5 films. He directed 2 Gujarati films and wrote stories and screenplays for several Gujarati films.

He was an accomplished writer. He wrote 4 novels – Amrapali, Budhidhan Birbal, Prem Diwani and Urmila. He wrote several satirical commentaries too. He wrote a detailed article on Sagar Movietone and Chimanlal Desai in Gujarati magazine ” Jee”. His last Hindi film as a director was Nawab Sirajuddaula-67, which he had produced also. He died on 31-10-1992.

I do not know about the storyline of the film Ghayal-51. One of my favourite actors – Jawahar Kaul – acted in this film. He was a very handsome fellow and had an unique style of acting. It was his bad luck that he could not prosper or become “A” grade actor, as in his period the competition was severe and there were many better actors operating then.

Jawahar Kaul was born in a Nehru family on the 27th of September in the year 1927 in the place revered as the heaven of India – Srinagar, Kashmir. When Jawahar was six days old, his grandfather’s sister adopted him, and his surname was subsequently changed to Kaul. Kaul did his Intermediate from the Punjab University and then went to the town of Rawalpindi. After spending some time there, he decided to go to Mumbai. His parents were not in favour of it and hence he convinced them that he would complete his graduation from the Pune University. He had a deep attraction for films from an early age and hence wanted to try his luck in the industry. In the 1940s, Dadar had three studios – Ranjit, Shri Sound and Supreme and hence was the epicenter of Indian cinema. Jawahar made Dadar his address.

He was always short on money as his family wasn’t aware of his venture into cinema. He often slept at the studio of Prabha Pictures. Due to his Kashmiri background – his looks, complexion, height were impressive, and he started getting work soon. Jawahar started his career doing minor roles. He used to portray supporting characters in big films. He made his debut while playing actor Kishor Sahu’s younger brother in the 1945’s ‘Veer Kunal’. In this year, he was seen in the role of ‘Humayun Mahawat’ in ‘Ek Din Ka Sultan’ which was made by Sohrab Modi. His first main lead role was in the flick ‘Khidki’ which was made in 1948. He was paired with Rehana for the same.

In Dadar, he became good friends with Radhakishan Mehra. Mehra used to live in the Lallubhai Mansion where Dada Bhagwan and Prabha Shankar Yagnik, ( brother of stunt film actor Navin Yagnik), the production managers of films used to stay too. It wasn’t long when Prabha Shankar and Kaul became good friends and started sharing their apartment. Their trio and friendship became popular in the film circle. Pyarelal Satoshi was friends with Radhakrishnan, and when he became a producer, he cast Kaul in his first movie. Kaul’s debut did average business, but the songs were a hit. Soon Kaul was seen in films like Azadi Ki Raah Par, Apni Chhaya, Kathputli, Pehli Jhalak, Laal Batti, Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam, etc. He was a legend of the Black and White Cinema. He was a superstar in the films made in the 1960s. Throughout his career, he worked only in a few selected flicks, but he was able to efficiently enrapture the audience’s attention.

Jawahar was never happy about his career- the way it went. He had wanted it to be more successful. Anyway after his last film Zalim-1980, he left acting and joined as a Production Manager with Jwala Pictures of Sandeep Sethi. After two years he became his Secretary for the next 17 years. Meanwhile he produced a film-” Agniputra “, with Mithun Chakravarti. It took a long time to finally release in 2000. Not only was it a flop, it also gave a heavy financial burden on him. However, his only son and producer daughter Shabanam Kapoor repaid everything. He died peacefully in Andheri,Mumbai, on 15-4-2019. Till the end, he looked after his school and college ‘ Children’s welfare Centre’, nearby.

Jawahr Kaul acted in 31 films starting from a small role inGeet Govind-1947. I remember his role in my favourite film Dekh kabira Roya-1957.(Thanks to Beete Hue din Blog).

Like most artistes, the music Directors of the early cinema had a tough time in their later life. Music of their era and style was no longer saleable due to the changing tastes of the people. Newer and younger MDs had a tough competition themselves. Thus these oldies were helpless. Damodar Sharma became assistant to Laxmikant Pyarelal, Madholal Master started his business of making Puppets (His Joker’s puppet was used by Raj kapoor in his film ” Mera Naam Joker”), Vithaldas Panchotiya, Krishnarao Chonkar, Badri prasad, Rewa shankar Marwadi etc. started doing small roles in films to sustain life. B.R.Deodhar opened a Music school.

Rewashankar Marwadi had acted in today’s film Ghayal-1951. I tried very hard to get some information about Rewa Shankar Marwadi, who was an actor, lyricist, singer and also music director in the 1930s and 1940s. However I could not get anything concrete. Anyway I found a note on this multi talented artist of the early era, written by Shri Dhananjay Naniwadekar aka Nani, on the old RMIM forum, some 15 years ago and adapted by me for this article.

Some of Ranjit Movietone’s earliest talkie films had music by Ustad Jhande Khan. Next came the trio of Banne Khan, Ganga Prasad Pathak and Rewa Shankar Marwari. None of that music was ever released on 78 rpm records. From 1938-39, the great duo of Gyan Dutt and Khemchand Prakash took over the charge of Ranjit’s music, later to be joined by Bulo C Rani. It was only around 1938 that Ranjit started releasing its film music on 78-rpm records.

Rewa Shankar Marwari’s association with Ranjit Films and films produced or directed by ex-Ranjit hand Jayant Desai continued in the
1940s. While it is a pleasant surprise that imdb.com has a page for an obscure name like ‘Rewashankar Marwadi’ at all, it is not surprising
that his filmography has been put together for the site by people who are far from competent at that sort of thing. He acted in 27 films, till 1955, sang 12 songs in 9 films and gave music to 21 films from ‘Veer Babruwahan’ (1934) to ‘Matrubhoomi’ (1949). After 1949 only, he started acting in films.

Rewashankar Marwadi and Gangaprasad Pathak gave music together for Gunsundari- 1934 as well as the film Raat ki Raani-35. Rewashankar Marwadi then made a pucca pair with composer Banne Khan and this pair gave music to 12 films, as a pair. ( Barrister’s wife-35, College girl-35, Qeemati aansoo-35, Noor-e-watan-35, Chalaak chor-36, Raj Ramani-36, Dil ka daaku-36, Sipahi ki sajani-36, Matlabi Duniya-36, Lehri lala-36, Ghazi Diler-36 and Mitti ka putla-37 ). In my opinion, they should be considered the first pair of MDs as well as Trend setters and NOT Husnlal-Bhagatram. Of course the number of films the H-B team did was more ( 52), but that is because after 1935, the speed of making films increased. More films were made in the 40s and the 50s than in the 30s. Moreover many composers left for Pakistan in the late 40s, so more films for less composers were available. Numbers aside, but lack of enough knowledge about the early films and artistes has led to much injustice to the Pioneers, for sure !

Today’s song is a Trio, sung by G M Durrani, Geeta Roy and Meena Kapoor along with Chorus. The song is in 2 parts recorded on one single record-on both sides. HFGK mentions it as 2 separate songs, but today’s song is the combined version running for more than 6 minutes. Durrani’s voice was suitable for soulful songs- like Talat. However personally I feel he was better than Talat, though Talat got more popular songs than him. Durrani acted in 16 films, wrote songs for 1 film (Nazare-49), gave music to 8 films composing 48 songs and sang 305 songs in 168 films.

(#Music Composer-Singer-Bappi Lahiri#8 – The magic of Bappi Da & Kishore Kumar)

Regulars on the blog must be remembering that I had presented some Bappi Lahiri songs on the blog.

As I said earlier I am not a big Bappi Da fan but I do like many of his compositions. There was a time which I would like to mention as ‘Justice Chaudhary-Mawaali times’ when I was irritated of the songs composed by Bappi Lahiri and didn’t like them. Even today I didn’t like many of his compositions of those years.

But then there are some Bappi Lahiri songs which I liked and was aware of them since before, and some of the songs are those which I like and I was listening to them since years, but I was not aware that they were composed by Bappi Lahiri.

Today’s song is one such song which I recently get to listen on Radio (Vividh Bharati). And I was not aware that this was composed by Bappi Lahiri.

I like this song and thought that it must have been posted on the blog earlier. But that is not the case. This song is yet to be covered on the blog. I remember olistening to this song before and I think it was quite liked by the public too. May be the movie, the song is from, didn’t do well so this song was also forgotten easily.

This song is sung by Kishore Kumar and that makes it more special and enjoyable and that is another reason that I like this song very much.

The song is from the movie ‘Tai Chor -1980’.

‘Taxi Chor-1980’ was directed by Sushil Vyas for ‘L.D. Enterprises, Bombay’.

It was produced by Lachhman H. Tulsiani, Prakash Bathija and Dilip J. Pariyani.

It had Zarina Wahab, Mithoon Chakravarty, Madan Puri, Abhi Bhattachaya, Bharat Bhushan, Chandrashekhar, Sajjan, Sulochana, Poornima, Indira Bansal, Bhagwan, Rajendra Nath, Dhoomal, Polson, Prem Sagar, Raj Mehra, Murad, Shaikh, Mohammad Ali, Jagdeep, Keshto Mukherjee, Jayshree T., Padma Khanna, Mukri ( in special appearance) and others.

The movie also had the new discovery Anita Sarin and Brajesh.

It also had child artists Baby Lata Malik, Kiran Seth, Sagar Brothers, and Naseer.

Story of this movie ‘Taxi Chor-1980’ was written by Dilip J. Pariyani.
Screenplay and dialogues of this movie were written by Vishwanath Pande. Editing of this movie was done by Baburao Barodekar.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 18.08.1980.

Anjaan was the lyricist for this movie who had written all the four songs in this movie.
Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Usha Mangeshkar, Shailendra Singh, Suresh Wadkar and Anwar had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

As mentioned above music for this film was composed by Bappi Lahiri.

Today’s song is sung by Kishore Kumar and on screen it is lip-synced by Mithoon Chakaravarty. From the picturisation of this song it is clear the song happens in a stage show. We can also see Zarina Wahab, Jagdeep and many other female artists in the picturisation. I could not identify the other female artist in this song. (we can also see another Mithoon Chakravarty coming to watch this show 🙂 which means this movie could be having a double role of Mithoon Chakravarty. I have yet to watch this movie).

Let us now enjoy today’s song …

Hullo Atuldom

A very Happy Navaratri to all. The date corresponds to the first day after Amavasya in the month of Ashwin of the sixth month (as per the Solar Bengali calendar) and seventh month (as per the Indian National lunar calendar of the Deccan Plateau) overlapping the months of September and October of the Gregorian calendar. It is the Sharath Navaratri. The period when we worship the Mother Goddess in the form of Durga Lakshmi and Saraswati. Additionally, this is also the time when we have Ram Leela celebrations across the country.

That is why I have chosen a song featuring Ram Leela. We can see Dev Anand, Janakidas, Premnath, Paintal, on stage enacting the Lanka dahan part of the Ramayan. It begins with Seeta maiyya crying under a tree in Ashok Vatika and  Hanuman seeing her from atop a tree. Sita maiyya (who is the actress?) sees Hanuman when he falls from the tree (I don’t know if all Ram Leelas have such comic elements. Remember there was a similar comic Ram Leela in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s ‘Naram Garam’). Ravan’s son Meghnad is played by Sharat Saxena. Did anyone recognize the Kumbhkaran? It is the actor who has a Guinness book entry for playing a police inspector maximum number of times. Yes, Jagdish Raj. Then we have two Hema Malini in the audience.

I could only recognize Manna Dey’s voice as the male playback, there is one more male singer. The female voice belongs to Anuradha Paudwal. The song is written by Anand Bakshi and Laxmikant Pyaarelal are the music directors. Also we can hear Dev Anand’s voice in all the dialogues in between.  All-in-all an entertaining song from the 1976 released Chetan Anand directed ‘Jaaneman’.

The storyline of the film had Dev Anand playing a taxi driver and Hema Malini in the double role of sisters -Santo & Banto. Plus there were Premnath, Ajit, Paintal, Janakidas Sharat Saxena Jagdish Raaj etc. in the cast.

I have read somewhere that it was a movie in the 25th year of Navketan Films. The movie has 6 songs and the blog has 4 of them (one is a three part song).  The last song from this movie was posted in 2016. Today’s song is sort of in the same category as the iconic song from ‘Munim ji’ (1955) – “O Shivji Bihaane Chale Paalki Sajaaye Ke

Born on 26 September, 1923, today is also the 99th birth anniversary of Dev Anand. With this song, we remember him and celebrate his birth anniversary.blog

Editor’s note:-This song is the 200th song picturised on Dev Anand in the blog.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2012-2022) – Song No. 60
————————————————————————————–

Welcome all to this post under ‘blog ten year challenge 2012-2022’.

Ten years back on this day i.e. 03rd July’2012, as many as seven songs from seven different movies were covered on the blog.

The details of these songs are as given below:-

Song Title Name of the movie (Year) Remarks
Aise machal ke nain badal ke Do Gunde(1959) Movie Yippeeee’ed by now
Phoolon se dosti hai Duniya Jhukti Hai(1960) 2 of 8 songs posted
Chadhe chanda to tum bhi chale aana Aplam Chaplam(1961) 3 of 7 songs posted
Dhaley din aise Laal Kothi(1978) 1 of 4 songs posted
Kaa jaanoon main sajaniyaa Hum Paanch(1980) 3 of 6 songs posted
Jaan e jaan dhoondhta phir rahaa Jawaani Deewaani(1972) Movie Yippeeee’ed by now
Dil ki baat kahin lab pe na aa jaaye Teri Qasam(1982) 1 of 6 songs posted

From the above table we can see that only two movies out of seven movies represented on the blog on that day have since been ‘Yippeeee’ed on the blog.

This means that five movies are eligible for blog ten year challenge today (3 July 2022).

I am presenting a song from the ‘1982’ movie ‘Teri Qasam’.

Today 3rd July’2022 is also the seventieth birthday of Singer Amit Kumar (born on 3rd July’1952). On this occasion I am presenting a song from ‘Teri Qasam’ which is sung by Amit Kumar.

‘Teri Qasam-1982’ was directed by A.C. Trilokchander for ‘Navjeevan Productions, Bombay’. It was produced by Titu.

It had Kumar Gaurav, Poonam Dhillon, Girish Karnad, Ranjeeta, Nirupa Roy, Monty, Paintal, Jyoti Bakshi, Neelu Arora, Najma, Rakesh Bedi, Mushtaq Merchant, Kanti, Manmouji, Birbal, S.P. Chaturvedi, Dinkar Chaudhary, Meghdoot, Bhola, Shivraj, Babli, Gauri Verma, Raj Bachchan and others.

This movie introduced Shiv Kapoor.

Padmini Kapila, Mukul Agrawal made special appearances in this movie while music director Laxmikant had a guest appearance in this movie.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 25.05.1982.

This movie had six songs thatwere written by Anand Bakshi R.D. Burman was the music director.

Here is the list of songs of “Teri Kasam”(1982):-.

Sr.No. Song Title Singer/s
01 Ham jis raste pe chale us raste pe thhi preet khadi Lata Mangeshkar, Amit Kumar
02 Ye zameen gaa rahi hai aasmaan gaa rahaa hai Amit Kumar
03 Gee two hai haan jee haan, gee two hai Amit Kumar
04 Kya huaa ek baat par barson ka yaraana gaya Amit Kumar
05 Mere geeton mein meri kahaaniyaan hai Amit Kumar
06 Dil ki baat kahin lab pe na aa jaaye Amit Kumar

Only one song from this movie has been posted on the blog and that was ten years ago on 03.07.2012. It means that this movie has completed its ten years run on the blog with only one of its songs posted.

While presenting the first song from this movie on the blog, Atul ji has given his opinion why Kumar Gaurav turned to be a failure after his debutant ‘big-hit’ movie ‘Love Story’.
Though Atul ji has mentioned that the music of this movie was composed by R.D. Burman but ‘he did not enjoy the songs of this movie’ may be because he didn’t like this movie.
But I would like to mention here that I liked all the songs of this movie very much. I had watched this movie, and I have no recollections whether I had liked at that time. But Pancham Da has given a very nice musical score ino this movie. All the songs from this movie are very good. However, only one song from this movie made it to the annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala’ of that year 1982. This song ‘ye zameen gaa rahi hai’ stood at 22nd position.

We will be enjoying the others songs from this movie in the future.

Today we are going to listen to the second song from this movie.

This song sung by Amit Kumar is a nice song from this movie which is lip synced by Kumar Gaurav. From the picturisation of this song the song seems to be a stage show song wherein we can also see Poonam Dhillon and many other artists seated among the audience.

Let us now listen to today’s song which seems to happen after the two lovers (Kumar Gaurav and Poonam Dhillon) get estranged over some misunderstanding 🙂

Wishing Amit Kumar a very happy birthday today and a healthy and peaceful life ahead …
