However, their father, Nanabhai Bhatt was credited as the producer of the film.

The story, screenplay and dialogues were written by Salim Khan which was said to have been inspired from the Hollywood film ‘On the Waterfront’ (1954) starring Marlon Brando. A decade later, Vishesh Films made ‘Ghulaam’ (1998), almost a remake of ‘Kabzaa). Both the Hindi versions of the Hollywood film were customised into the Indian socio-political scenarios in which ordinary citizens faces the wrath of the criminals.

Today’s song is an Aarti of Bhagwan Shankar, from the film Vikramaditya-1945. Our friend Avinash Abhang (Scrapwala) ji has given me the song link and the detailed Lyrics of this Aarti. He has taken a lot of effort to meticulously write down the lyrics as it contained 3 voices of singers and chorus. In addition, it also has some difficult words which had to be noted carefully. I thank him profusely as he very kindly sent this to me, knowing that I am a Shiv- Bhakta. May Lord Shiv ji Bless him !

Vikramaditya (1945) is a Hindi historical drama directed by Vijay Bhatt under the Prakash Pictures banner. The film stars legendary actor Prithviraj Kapoor in the title role of King Vikramaditya of Avanti, Prem Adib as the court poet Mahakavi Kalidas, and Ratnamala as Princess Shrilekha, along with other artistes like Ranjana, Zillobai, Bhagwandas and Baburao Pendharkar etc etc. All the 9 songs were written by Ramesh Gupta and the music was by the in-house Music Director of Prakash Pictures- Shankar Rao Vyas. he film was directed by Vijay Bhatt.

Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part XIV

(Actresses whose name begin with the letter N)

In the first thirteen episodes of the series, we listed actresses whose names begin with the first thirteen letters of the alphabet and who had lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog. Then we went on to cover a song that was lip synced by another acresses whose name began with the same letter and who had not lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog.

The exercise of finding a “new” actress whose name begins with a particular letter is being increasingly difficult. The three “new” actresses who made their debuts in the blog (as far as lip syncing in Asha Bhonsle’s voice is concerned) were Anju Mahendru, Bhanupriya, Chandrakala,Divya Bharati, Ekta,Farheen,Gulnar Irani,Harsha Mehra,Isha Koppikar,Jasmine,Khushboo, Laila and Madhavi.

In this episode, we arrive at the fourteenth letter N. The letter N has thrown up good number of Hindi film actresses. As many as 25 actresses whose name begin with N have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog. The list includes some iconic names as we will as some names that few people may have heard of.

Today’s post is Prakashchandrajee’s farmaish. He requested me to write a post on the song “tum mere sapnon me aanaa chhodd do“ from the film Madhavi (1969). He had mentioned this song in a comment to the post written by Atuljee on “Actresses whose name begin with the letter D and have lip-synced to Asha Bhosle’s song.“ In this comment he had mentioned the actress Deepa who debuted in this film.

On imdb the role of Madhavi is attributed to the actress Unni Mary, to whom the name Deepa is also attributed. Her birth year is given as 12 March 1962. The film Madhavi was released in 1969, which would make the actress at the most 7 years old in the film. The actress Deepa in the film looks anything but seven. Thus, it must be false attribution. I couldn’t unearth anything more than this about this actress.

Madhavi (1969) is a rather unusual historical costume drama. The film is based on the Marathi play “Punya Prabhav” by R.G. Gadkari. The film stars Sanjay Khan, Padmini and Pran. Deepa is given the credit as “Introducing Deepa as Madhavi”. The producer is B. Radhakrishna. This film is directed by Tapi Chanakya.
