Today’s song is the last and final song from a not so well known, but deserving film – Saudamini (1950).

In Hindi (and in almost all Indian languages) films, well known and popular dramas, Novels, Stories and the famous writers have played a significant role in providing material to make logical and meaningful films with a message to the people or a particular society. I can say that films based on famous and popular writings have been made into more qualitative presentations than films on Folk stories and Historical Myths.

The cast included Raj Babbar, Sanjay Dutt, Amrita Singh, Alok Nath, Paresh Rawal, Neelu Phule, Mahesh Anand, Mushtaq Khan, Kamal Chopra, Anupam Kher, Dimple Kapadia, Akash Khurana, Tiku Talsania, Disco Shanthi, Avtar Gill, Akhtar Masood, Deepak Qazir, Manek Choudhry, A.C.

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 26 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.
