Tum ko paaya hai to jaise khoya hoon
Kehna chaahoon tum se bhi to kya kahoon
Kisi zabaan mein bhi wo lafz hi nahin
Ke jin mein tum ho kya tumhen bataa sakoon
Main agar kahoon tum saa haseen
Kaayenaat mein nahin hai kaheen
Ta’areef yeh bhi to sach hai kuchh bhi nahin
How can an emotion, an achievement, a lacking, a statement, a praise, an expression of being lost, are to be expressed in a few lines? This mukhda of the song in “Om Shanti Om” is a perfect example. It says quite plainly that there are not words to be found in any language to describe you, i.e. the heroine. It is not just her beauty, the hero wants to praise. It is the essence of the person, that he is unable to describe.
In the stanza, her attributes are detailed as shokhiyon, adaayen, zulf, aanchal, roop ki chaandni etc. also dilkashi. But these words are just not enough to say what the hero wants to say. I have seen this film, but cant recall the whole story. Will have to see this once more to refresh the memory.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-10
Today’s duet composition by Rahul Dev Burman is from the movie ‘Khule-Aam-1992’. This movie was directed by Arun Dutt for ‘Guru Dutt Films, Bombay’. It was produced by Tarun Dutt and Arun Dutt.

This movie Khule-Aam was passed by the Censor Board on 23.04.1992. I was staying at Kota (Rajasthan) at that time. I am not sure whether I watched this movie at that time. When I was looking for movies from the year 1992 with music by Rahul Dev Burman, I came across this movie. Since I was looking for a duet song I zeroed in on this song. Listening to this song came as a real pleasant surprise. The song sounds familiar to me whihc means I may have heard this song in the past.
‘Khule-Aam-1992’ has four songs all penned by lyricist Indeevar. The playback singers for this movie are Aziz, Sadhna Sargam, Gautam Roy, Asha Bhonsle, Sagarika and Gurpreet. Today’s song is sung by Sadhna Sargam and Gautam Roy. The song is picturised on Neelam and Chunky Pandey lip-syncing in the voices of Sadhna Sargam and Gautam Roy respectively.
This movie marks the debut for singer Gautam Roy in the blog. Audio of this movie was released by Weston. Let us listen to this wonderful magical Pancham composition and welcome ‘Khule-Aam -1992’ on this blog.

Today’s song is the last and final song from the film Sindbaad the Sailor aka Sindbad Jahazi-1952.
1952 was a year which was going through a lean period for Hindi films. Increased costs of Film production, escalating rates of stars and music Directors, establishment of Star System in place of earlier Studio System, increasing taxes, decreasing number of Cinema Halls etc caused a worry in the film industry. Financiers with Black money were making films – in 1952 the number of Hindi films made went up to 105 from 97 of 1951, but dropped again to 98 in 1953. Most films were of lower quality. Because of superior music there were some great films too, but the situation was grave nevertheless.

Remembering Nalini Jayawant (18/02/1926 – 20/12/2010) on the occasion of her 100th birth anniversary today, February 18, 2026. She was one of the top actress of the golden period of 1950s of Hindi films. Unfortunately, like Suraiya, Nalini Jaywant also took early retirement from films when her films of the 1960s failed one after another. Once voted as a most photogenic face of Hindi films, she spent her post-retirement life as a recluse to such an extent that her death on December 20, 2010, got noticed only after a couple of days.
Nalini Jaywant had two distinct phases of her filmy career. The first phase began with her debut film ‘Radhika’ (1941) produced by Chimanbhai Desai and directed by his son, Virendra Desai. In this film, she sang for herself. Her second film to release was Mehboob Khan’s ‘Bahen’ (1941) where she was paired with Sheikh Mukhtar in the role of his younger sister. This was followed by ‘Nirdosh’ (1941) with Mukesh, ‘Aankh Michauli’ (1942) with Satish Batra and ‘Aadab Arz’ (1943) with Karan Diwan. These films did not work out good in the box office front but Nalini Jaywant established herself in the Hindi film industry as an accomplished actress.
Sometime in 1945, Nalini Jaywant married Virendra Desai who was already married with children. This was not liked by his father, Chimanbhai Desai who expelled Virendra Desai from the house and removed him from his film production company, Amar Films. Later, Nalini Jaywant and Virendra Desai signed a 2-year contract with Filmistan, as an actress and as a director, respectively. However, both of them did not get any assignment during the period of contract. This gap was long enough for the film industry to forget their existence. Once the contract with Filmistan came to an end, Nalini Jaywant and Virendra Desai jointly produced ‘Gunjan’ (1948) which failed at the box. Soon Nalini Jaywant divorced Virendra Desai in 1948.
The second phase of Nalini Jaywant’s filmy career started with ‘Anokha Pyaar’ (1948) with Dilip Kumar and Nargis. This film gave her new lease of life in her filmy career. Film critics praised her in the role of a flower girl. ‘Shikast’ (1953) was a milestone in her career in which she paired with Dilip Kumar. She got a rare praise from Dilip Kumar for her brilliant performance in the film.
The real take off in her filmi career came from ‘Samaadhi’ (1950) in which she paired with Ashok Kumar for the first time. This was followed by another big success for her in ‘Sangraam’ (1950), once again pairing with Ashok Kumar. The success of Ashok Kumar-Nalini Jaywant combination resulted in both working together in as many as 11 films during 1950-58.
The box office success of ‘Naastik’ (1954) in which she was paired with Ajit resulted her working with Ajit in 11 films. Her pairing with Dev Anand in ‘Munimji’ (1955) and with Shammi Kapoor in ‘Ham Sab Chor Hain’ (1956) resulted in box office success of these films. For her performance in ‘Kala Paani’ (1958) with Dev Anand, she got the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress award. But after this film, Nalini Jaywant did not have films much to talk about. From the beginning of the 1960s, film offers started declining. Many new leading actresses like Asha Parekh, Sadhana and Saira Bano had joined the film industry.
The box office failure of ‘Amar Rahe Ye Pyaar’ (1961) jointly produced by Radhakrishan and Prabhu Dayal and directed by Prabhu Dayal financially broke both of them. While Radhakrishan committed suicide, Prabhu Dayal who by that time had married Nalini Jaywant, became an alcohol addict. ‘Bombay Racecourse’ (1965) was virtually her last film in a lead role though, Toofan Main Pyaar Kahaan; (1966) was her last released film in the lead role. After the release of these two films, she had almost retired from her filmy career until she accepted character roles in two films, ‘Bandish’ (1980) and ‘Naastik’ (1983).
In a rare interview of Nalini Jaywant published in the Deccan Herald after her death in 2010, she regretted that she could get to show her acting prowess only in films like ‘Anokha Pyaar’ (1948), ‘Sangraam’ (1950), ‘Shikast’ (1953), ‘Raahi’ (1953) and ‘Kaala Paani’ (1958). She said that she was not interested in making a comeback in films when the offer came for a character role in ‘Naastik’ (1983). But she had to accept it after many requests from Pran and Promod Chakravarty.
Nalini Jayawant died of a heart attack but was found dead after 3 days of her death in her bungalow by neighbours, due to the continuing howling by her two pet dogs. She was staying alone after the death of her husband, Prabhu Dayal in 2001 and was leading a life of a recluse with a couple of pet dogs to give her the company. A distant relative of her is said to have taken her body on a municipal ambulance and cremated her.
On the occasion of Nalini Jaywant’s 100th birth anniversary, I have selected a song from ‘Toofaan Mein Pyaar Kahaan’ (1966), her last film in the lead role and also her last film with Ashok Kumar in lead roles. I had already given the film’s detailed story in my article while covering one of its song, le pee zaraa aur pee. The gist of the story is as under:
Shamu (Ashok Kumar) is a truck driver of Mahajan (Tiwari), a smuggler who indulges in business of smuggled good across the border with Sikkim. He lives in a den with Mahajan and others when they are not on duty. Although Shamu feels bad about serving Mahajan for his smuggling activities, he has to do this for taking care of Rami (Achala Sachdev), a Tibetan and her daughter as promised by him at the time of the death of her husband.
In a different village, Shanta (Nalini Jaywant) is being readied to depart for her marriage with Raimohan (Tarun Bose) against her wish. She runs away from the house. Shamu gives her shelter in his den in an adjoining room with a condition that she should find a different place to stay as his den is full of bad people. Shanta finds Shamu a kind-hearted person. Next day, Mahajan visits the den, Shanta introduces herself as the wife of Shamu for her own safety. Pulma (Jayshree Gadkar), who runs a tea shop and is in love with Shamu, does not believe that Shanta is Shamu’s wife. By now Shamu has fallen in love with Shanta and has decided to propose her for the marriage. One day, Shamu visits her room to propose her for the marriage. He sees a letter written by Raimohan to Shanta about their impending marriage. He assumes that Shanta is in love with Raimohan, and he has no right to ask for hand in marriage. Next morning, before Shanta could explain to Shamu about Raimohan, she finds that Shamu has left the place with Pulma.
Raimohan with the help of Mahajan conspire to kidnap Shanta to sell her across the border at a high price. Shanta now takes shelter in Rami’s house from where she is kidnapped by Raimohan and Mahajan. When Shamu comes to know about Shanta’s kidnapping, he takes out his truck with Pulma and follows the jeep in which Shanta is being taken. While driving on a jig jag hill road, the jeep roles down from road to valley killing Shanta, Raimohan and Mahajan. While consoling Shamu, Pulma reiterates her love for him.
The film had eight songs written by Prem Dhawan which were set to music by Chitragupt. Three songs have been covered on the Blog. On the occasion of the 100th birth anniversary of Nalini Jaywant, I am presenting a song, ‘jaane kaisa hai ye pyaar’ rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and picturised on Nalini Jaywant.
The context of the song is that after Shamu (Ashok Kumar) gives shelter to a runaway girl Shanta (Nalini Jaywant) in his den, she has started liking him for his kind heartedness which soon turns into her love for him. But she is not sure whether he loves her. In this song, Shanta expresses her feelings toward Shamu and doubts whenter Shamu knows about her feelings toward him. Later, she comes to know about his reciprocal feelings toward her through Pulma (Jayshree Gadkar). With this, Shanta expects that Shamu would propose her in his next meeting. Shamu does come to her room with the intention of proposing her. However, in her room, Shamu gets a letter to read which is a letter written by Raimohan (Tarun Boase) to Shanta about their impending marriage. He assumes that Shanta is in love with Raimohan, and he has no right to ask for her hand in marriage. Before she could explain the reality, Shamu has left his place of dwelling.

Today’s song is from the social film Parichay-1954.
Selection of an apt and fitting Title for the film, which makes a statement on the film’s content, has always been a daunting challenge to filmmakers. There are many film titles which are appropriate, but more titles are far off from the film’s content, misleading the viewers. Parichay-1954 is one such film. The film tries to glorify the sanctity of a marriage and how it should be carried on, but its title does not have any connection with this philosophy.
The film was produced by Radheshyam Jhunjhunwalla under his own banner, J.J.Films, Bombay. It was directed by an expert director- Satyen Bose. The music to the film’s 8 songs was shared by Sailesh Mukherjee and Vedpal Verma. The cast of the film was Shashikala, Abhi Bhattacharya, Pranoti Ghosh (wife of Abhi Bhattacharya in real life), Sajjan (Purohit), Zebunnisa (an actress from the silent era), Panchotia, Shakuntala, Indira Chitnis, Dhumal, Kesarbai (elder sister of actress Indira Wadkar and paternal aunt of actress Hansa Wadkar) and others. Songs were written by Keshav (5) and Akhtar Yusuf(2).
