Today’s song is from the film 300 Days and after-1938. This was a rather unusual film title, mixing numbers and words.

Among Hindi films, there were 53 film titles which started with a figure and not words (data from 1931 to 2012). Here are some interesting observations and titbits….

Moving ahead with the series on Asha Bhosle singing for actresses whose first names begin with the letter “A”, we come to Archana Joglekar.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, three actresses from the Marathi film industry crossed over to Hindi cinema with varying degrees of success. They were Archana Joglekar, Ashwini Bhave, and Varsha Usgaonkar. Although the Hindi film industry was based in Bombay (now Mumbai), only a few leading Marathi actresses were able to establish themselves in Hindi films. Usha Kiran and Jayshree Gadkar were notable exceptions. Most other Marathi actresses found work primarily in supporting roles.

I first started noticing Archana Joglekar (without knowing her name at the time) in the early 1980s as a model and in Marathi programmes on Bombay Doordarshan. By the mid-1980s, she had also begun appearing in Marathi films. Soon thereafter, she made her Hindi film debut with Mardon Mein Mard (1987). She subsequently played a leading role in an Odia film and, later in her career, also acted in a Tamil film. During the 1990s, she gradually reduced her film appearances but expanded her repertoire by working in television serials. It was also during this period that she married Dr. Nirmal Muley and moved to the United States.

#Drunkard Songs -2 #

If the first part of my drunkard series, I had mentioned that lots of drunkard songs were released in 1974. 1983, a noslagia filled year for me also seems to be rich in this genre of songs.

The drunkard song that I am presenting in this post is from ‘Farishta-1983’.

“Farishta 1984” was Pran Saab’s presentation for his home production ‘Sikand Films’. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 13.10.1983. It was directed by Sunil Sikand (Pran Saab’s son), who was also the Producer and Story writer of this movie. He also co-authored the Screenplay of this movie with Tapan Chakravarty. The cast of this movie included Ashok Kumar, Kanwaljeet Singh, Master Raju, Ambika Shourie, Danny and Pran. Bharat Bhushan, Azaad and Master Rajiv Bhatia also had supportive roles in this movie. The movie introduced – Shera – a wonder dog in this movie. Smita Patil makes a special appearance in this movie.

Today’s song is from a very obscure film Aakhri Paigham aka The Last message-1949. Earlier to the release of the film, the film’s title was ‘Message of Mahatma Gandhi’, which was changed on government’s warning.

For the film’s 12 songs, 6 Lyricists and 9 singers were used. The lyricists were Josh Malihabadi, Sharin Bhopali,Mahmood Sarosh, Behzad lucknowi, Ehsan Rizvi and J.K.Chugtai.

My 200th post

So, with this post I complete 200 song posts on Atul Song A Day blogpost. This activity gives me immense pleasure at this point in life where one tends to take things little lightly. The first 50 posts were posted in roughly 8-10 years time, but the rest of them have been posted in the last 4-5 years. The first 8-10 years period was the time when I worked full time and would work till late almost everyday. Then, during the weekend it was completely family time. So to find time in such a busy schedule was very difficult. Plus, I had 4-5 surgeries on my feet, specifically from 2017 onwards.

But the last few years have been a bit easier in that I have stopped working full time and have taken a part time position which is located remotely and suits my timing and lifestyle. Therefore, the pace of writing posts has increased.

The 100th song I posted was sung by the legend Lata Mangeshkar. So my 200th song is also sung by another legend – Kishore Kumar.
