Today’s song is from the film Jungle mein Mangal-47. This was a stunt C grade movie made by Harishchandra Pictures. The film was directed by Baburao Badodekar- a name I heard for the first time. No wonder, because in those days, when stunt films were made by the dozen an year and at a cost of Rs. 30 to 40 thousand, getting quality directors for them was not possible. A seasoned Cameraman or an actor from even stage drama used to double as director of such movies for about 1 or 2 thousand rupees per film. The song writers used to get 10 to 15 rupees per song and unknown composers used to get lured by the prospect of seeing his name in the booklet, name in the film credits and about 2 or 3 thousand rupees per film.

Munshi Shyam was the Lyricist for this movie. Initially, I used to laugh at such hybrid names, but as the time went by I realised that the poets thought differently about their Takallus (pen name), probably considering it as an exclusive identity. Many Lyricists flaunted their hometown name with their Pen names- like Sahir Ludhiyanvi (Abdul Hai), Majrooh Sultanpuri (Asrar Hasan Khan), Arzoo Lucknowi (Syed Anwar Hussain), Anjum Jaipuri (Osman Khan Rehmani) etc etc.

This film’s music was by Nandram Omkar ji. he was the exclusive composer of Harishchandra Pictures and gave music to only 5 of their films, namely, Jungle mein Mangal, Barrister and Azad Jeevan-all of 1947, Sone ki Chidiya and Bahadur Jeevan of 1948. No other information about him as to where from he came or where to he went , is available. From the name, he seems to be a Rajasthani person. The cast of the film was Harishchandra Rao, Latika, Dalpat, Munshi Shyam, Balram etc etc.

After I started writing posts on old film songs, my outlook to the life changed completely. This world was something new for me. I was able to use whatever knowledge I had gathered over my past life span. Of course my diaries, which I was habituated to maintain after seeing every film seen, came very handy. Everything was going smoothly and one day something happened.

I was the Chairman of our Housing Society for over 10 years. Our recent Treasurer in our society was one Mr. Ramesh Advani. After we worked together for few years, one day he casually said that he was the son of Bhudo Advani-the yesteryear comedian. i was stunned. Even in my dreams I had not imagined that I would some day be in close contact with some actor’s close relative. I was excited and told him that I want to interview him, so that first hand information about his father can be put on Internet. He agreed and called his elder sister also and one full day I talked to them, making notes and selecting old photographs from their albums.

Soon the interview was posted on http://www.memsaabstory.com, a Blog site belonging to an American enthusiast and a lover of Hindi old films. The response was beyond my expectation. After this I became alert and grabbed all opportunities to interview close relatives of old actors. Without going into details of every instance, I can only say that I could interview daughter of Parshuram, son in law of Mirza Musharraf, grandson of early era stunt star Shankarrao Vazare, Son of Heroine Indurani, daughter of yesteryear Heroine Latika- among the few I have contacted and collected first hand information about the artistes concerned.

Ms. Cindy Bell, daughter of actress Latika (Heroine of today’s film also) reacted to one of my posts on this Blog, in which I had said that Latika was a Jew. Cindy wrote in her comment that Latika was not Jew etc. I got in touch with her- first by E mail and then by Phone ( she is in London). She sent Latika’s detailed information to me from London, where Latika was living in 2014, with her sons and daughter.

In the year 2014, I got in touch with Ms. Sindy Bell, daughter of Latika and a resident of London, U.K. Sindy was kind enough to provide me a brief note on her Biography. Latika had acted only in 13 films from 1944 to 1948.

” Latika was born 13th October, 1924 in Darjeeling. Her Tibetan name was Hungu-Lamou. Her mother was Tibetan. Her father was an Australian who adopted Buddhism, living in India as a race horse trainer for the Maharajas. He died when Latika was still very young leaving her with a newly born brother. As a child, Latika was sent to the Kalimpong girl’s orphanage also called ‘The Homes’ for her education by her mother and new step-father until she was 16. Her mother had four more children, her half-brothers and sisters.

The Homes (one for girls, one for boys) were founded by a Scottish missionary, so as a child, Latika was christened Agnes and this is the name she uses in England. Her mother was Buddhist, her step-father, an Anglo-Indian by the name of Webber, was a Protestant but Buddhism was the prevalent faith among her surrounding family of aunties and uncles in Darjeeling.

Latika’s step-father was an engineer who built bridges and due to his work, when she was a teenager, they moved to Mumbai. It was there that Latika made friends with a neighbour who was a kathak dancer and actress. She was invited to visit the Minerva film studios and was there spotted by the director Sohrab Modi and offered the opportunity to act. This was where she was given the stage name Latika, which she is still called by friends and family in India to this day.

In those days, all the scripts were in Urdu which she read beautifully and also learnt kathak dancing. I’m sure you already know the 12 films Latika acted in from the mid 1940’s to early 1950’s, in particular the film Gopinath with Raj Kapoor (1948), where she played the ‘femme fatale’ and her lovely dance sequence in Jugnu (1947).

Latika had always had a respect and interest in holy writings. It was during this period that she met a Jehovah’s Witness who was able to explain the bible, not as a church book, but as holy writings, it’s answers to the ‘big’ questions we all ask and it’s promised blessings. It satisfied all of Latika’s questions about life, so she became a Jehovah’s Witness.

It was while as an actress she met and eventually became friends with Gope at the studios. To this day, Latika says he was the kindest, most compassionate man she ever met. They married and, at Gope’s request, Latika retired from the film industry.

Latika did introduce Gope to the bible. He would read by himself (or as my mother would say, ‘exclaim in delight!’), passages from it, early mornings on the verandah before work. She said he was particularly taken with the accounts of Jesus and how tenderly he treated people. To her surprise, of his own volition, he too become a Jehovah’s Witness.

Gope had a large house in Juhu which also came to house all Latika’s family. When we saw it, it had became a hotel but I’m not sure what has happened to it now.

Before Gope’s death, they had two sons, Gope Jr, and Lalith. When Gope suddenly and unexpectedly died, when the boys were three and five, mum decided to join her siblings who had earlier migrated to the UK. I came from her second marriage.

Latika is still alive and very well and living in the UK. She is in her 90th year, still beautiful. My niece’s second name is Latika and Gope Jr’s two sons bear the (second) name of Gope also. Latika has a big family with grand-children and great grand-children, all from Gope’s lineage. ”

Harishchandrarao and Chandrarao Kadam- this brother pair of actor-producer-director was famous in the circle of stunt film crowds, both onscreen and off screen.

Hero of this stunt film was Harishchandra Rao (Kadam). He was born in Bhuj, Gujarat on 11-8-1910. He did early schooling in Bhuj, but his family shifted to Karachi, due to financial debacle. He did Cycle repairing work and completed his matriculation by age of 18 years. He joined a Touring film company. Once, while in Bombay he was watching the film shooting in Paramount company. Suddenly, the director offered him a role in the film. Thus he entered the films. from 1932 he did few silent films.

He joined Shankar Bhatt’s Prakash Pictures and worked in their first Talkie, ” Bambai ki Mohini “- 1934. He was with Prakash, upto 1939, doing stunt films inside and outside also. He did some films for Wadia too, in between. Finally he started his own company, ” Harishchandra Productions “. He continued to work as actor, director and producer. he sang few songs also.

Some of his films were Daulat, Naujawan, Rangila mazdoor, Rangila jeevan, Sukhi jeevan, Lehri jawan, Inaam, Sone ki chidiya, Durban, Laat sahib, Tamasha etc etc He worked in about 42 films.

His brother Chandrarao Kadam was also a stunt actor. He was known as Stunt King. He had his Chandrarao Films. He acted, directed and produced films. The brothers were friendly with Master Bhagwan and gave him preference in their films, till Bhagwan started his own company- Jagriti films. later on Chandrarao floated his own Chandivali Studio in Bombay suburb, which is still actively run by his progeny.

In the cast one finds the name Dalpat. Not much information was available about him. Here is what I found on Fb group ‘Vo din yaad karo’. This is written by shri M N Sardana ji. Thank you, sir for this bit of information.

Dalpat (Joshi) was also stunt artist . A tall, sophisticated and suave person mostly appeared in negative roles . Dalpat was a part of Wadia’s unit since its inception and played the role of villain in the stunt movies ,which used to have Fearless Nadia and John Cawas or occasionally some other hero, apt in performing stunts .

Owing to the unprecedented popularity of Miss Nadia , other film makers also cast her along with Mr John Cawas and Mr Dalpat in their similar type of stunt movies for which she was known . After her era was over ,Basant Pictures concentrated their energy in making Mythological and Arabian Night movies ,in which Dalpat Saab always had a role . Later in 50s, studio system came to an end and actors and technicians who learned their art from their benevolent master Homi Wadia , looked for assignment from other producers.

One may call it as destiny or lack of initiative on the part of Mr Dalpat Ram , he was offered only costume /stunt/religious movies by outside producers . Mr Dalpat ,who did a stint of production controller for few movies, was reverentially called Dalpat Kaka owing to his age ,seniority and status by film folks. Dalpat acted in 121 films, from Hoor e Baghdad-34 to Toofani Takkar-78.

Today’s song is one of the more rare songs, according to its up loader- our own Sadanand Kamath ji. He says, none of the songs from any of the films of Nandram Omkar ji are available on You Tube. So, this happens to be the first and the only song available on You Tube today. Thanks, Sadanand ji. This song is sung by an unknown Male singer with chorus. With this song, the film and the MD make their debut on the Blog.

Missing Films of 1960s – 96
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

In this series, the film being introduced today is of certain significance in the history of Hindi film music. The film is ‘Ziarat Gahe Hind’. Translating this phrase – it means – “हिन्दोस्तान के दर्शनीय इस्लामिक धार्मिक स्थल” – or important pilgrimage centers of Islamic religion in India. ‘Ziarat’ means to see, to visit – “दर्शन करना”; ‘gahe’ means a dargah (“दरगाह”), a place of religious pilgrimage; and ‘Hind’ refers to “हिन्दोस्तान”, India. In a manner of speaking this film is the Islamic equivalent of films like ‘Sampooran Teerht Yatra’ which presents the travelogue of centers of Hindu pilgrimages.

This film also has an alternate title – ‘Zeenat’. The film is produced under the banner of Roopesh Films, Bombay, and is directed by A Shamsheer. The star cast of this film is listed as Tabassum, Tabrez, Shatrujeet, Johnny Whisky, Baby Guddi, Sadiq, Shukla, Murad, Shakeela Bano Bhopali, Shareen, Husn Bano, Pratap Kumar, Satish, Munshi Munakka, Moosa Kaleem, Dinesh Dubey, Shashi, Bihari, Bamalhari, Meera, Master Zafar, Master Vijay, Master Basheer, Rupendra, and Dalda.

The film is a Muslim social story, depicting the fortunes of a family that is passing through testing times both because of external circumstances and strained relations within. The family turns to the Almighty, and they resolve to go on a pilgrimage to various important centers of worship. Even during their travels, there are difficulties that come in their way, but with prayers to Allah (SWT) [SWT – “Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala,” or “Glory to Him, the Exalted.”], and by his kindness and beneficence, the family is able to overcome all difficulties and comes to see better times in life.

There are four songs listed for this film. All the songs are from the pen of a poet whose name is completely new to this blog – Abdur Rab Chaush.
[Editor’s Note: As per inputs from Sadanand ji, Abdur Rab Chaush is a qawwali singer, who has been active since about 1970. He has also written the lyrics for the film “Dayaar e Medina’ (1975).]

The thing that I mentioned about this film being of certain importance – that is because of the music direction. The name of the music director is listed as Mustafa-Yusuf. Mustafa is the son of the renowned music director Sajjad Husain. This name is for the duo MD, both of whom are sons of the renowned music director Sajjad Husain – Mustafa and Yusuf. In fact the title credits of this film also list Sajjad Sb’s name as the ‘Supervisor’ for music. After troubled times early on in his career, there was literally no work for the temperamental Sajjad Sb in the 1960s. No producer was ready to engage him, on account of his reputation as a brusque and inflexible team player. So for this film, although the prime mover in the music direction department is Sajjad Sb, but his sons’ names are pushed forward, to keep Sajjad Sb away from limelight. Mustafa himself is a musician of certain standing. However, we do not see his or Sajjad Sb’s name appear any more in films beyond this one.

The song is an appeal to the Almighty – “ओ आसमान वाले” – with prayers for His benevolence and help in this journey of life. The words of this song refer to many important names in the history of Islam. All these names are of the historical figures who are acknowledged to be Prophets in Islamic history, who have appeared before Prophet Mohammed (SAW) [SAW – “Sall’Allahu alayhi wasalam”, translates as “The graces of Allah be upon him, and peace,” or “Allah bless him and grant him peace.”].

In the chronicles of Islamic history, Mohammed (SAW) is the last Prophet of this religion. Before him, a list of 24 Prophets is acknowledged. In today’s song, the lyrics contain the names of some of these Prophets. The mention is included in the lyrics, almost as a reminder to Him, that He has helped and rescued, and brought fame, prosperity and privilege to these men of faith. And so, the prayer is that we are seeking similar favors and blessings from Him.

The first name mentioned in the lyrics is that of Adam – “आदम”. I refer to the following lines in the lyrics –

aadam ko di muaafi
shaitaan ko sazaa di

As per the traditions that are common to the Jewish, Islamic and Christian religions, Adam is the first human being created by the Almighty, and the father of all mankind on this earth. Adam is seen as an archetype of humanity and as a symbol for the emergence of humankind. According to the Islamic narrative of Adam, humankind has learnt everything from Adam. He was the first to learn to plant, harvest, and bake as well as the first to be told how to repent and how to properly bury someone. God also revealed the various food restrictions and the alphabet to Adam. He was made the first prophet and he was taught 21 scrolls and was able to write them himself.

As per the scriptures, Allah (SWT) fashioned Adam out of clay of this earth, as also his feminine counterpart – Hawwa “हव्वा”, also known as Eve in the Jewish and Christian traditions. When God created Adam and Eve, He sent them to Eden, the garden of paradise, to enjoy as they would please, with one instruction – not to pluck and partake the fruit of a particular tree (the apple tree). For a time, this instruction was followed. As the narrative goes, Satan, who wanted to take revenge for an earlier insult and punishment, entices and leads astray the primal couple, and induces them to eat the fruit of the apple tree. For this digression, the primal couple seeks forgiveness from God, which is granted, albeit with the condition that they are banished from Eden and put down on the earth. The Islamic tradition does not ascribe mankind’s life on earth as a punishment, rather as part of God’s plan. God had already decided before the creation of Adam that mankind (Adam and his progeny) would be placed on earth.

The narrative of the punishment of “शैतान” goes like this. When God fashioned Adam from clay, and breathed life into him, He announced to His Archangels, the plan for placing Adam and his progeny on earth. The angels expressed doubt whether Adam and his progeny, with their limited knowledge would be able to maintain earth without animosity and bloodshed. God then taught the knowledge to Adam. Then, in a gathering of angels, He commanded Adam to call out each of angels by their names. With this accomplished, God instructed the angels to bow down in front of Adam. All the angels followed this instruction, except for Iblis, who claimed that he, being born of fire, will not bow down in front of one born of clay. At this, God was offended and He punished Iblis by banishing him from paradise, and into hell. After this episode, Iblis is known as Satan or “शैतान”.

The second name mentioned in the verses is that of ‘Isa’, who is known as Jesus in Jewish and Christian traditions.

takhte se daar ke bhi
isaa ki jaan bacha di

Islam acknowledges Yesua or Isa, Ibn e Mariam (Son of Mary) (PBUH) as the penultimate Prophet who came before Prophet Mohammed. In Islam, it is noted that Isa attributed the name Ahmad, to the One who would follow him.

The Islamic tradition does not concur with the Christian view that Jesus died on the cross. The narrative in Qur’an states that Isa, being sentenced to the gallows (daar, “दार”) was rescued by God. The belief in Qur’an is that Isa did not physically die, but was raised alive to heavens. A very interesting thing to note is that in the Qur’an, Isa is the most mentioned personality – his name appears 187 times in the Qur’aanic text, more than any other personality.

The third name mentioned in these lyrics is that of Yunus, who is known as Jonah in Jewish and Christian traditions.

machhli ke pet mein bhi
yunus ki jaan bakhshi

Yunus is one of the Prophets in the Islamic tradition. God commands him to go to the city of Nineveh to prophesy against it for their great wickedness.  Instead, he attempts to flee from “the presence of the Lord” by going to Jaffa and sailing to Tarshish. A huge storm arises and the sailors, realizing that it is no ordinary storm, cast lots and discover that Yunus is to blame. He admits this and states that if he is thrown overboard, the storm will cease. The sailors refuse to do this and continue rowing, but all their efforts fail and they are eventually forced to throw him overboard. As a result, the storm calms and the sailors then offer sacrifices to God. Yunus is miraculously saved by being swallowed by a large fish, in whose belly he spends three days and three nights. While inside the great fish, he prays to God in his affliction and commits to thanksgiving and to paying what he has vowed. God then commands the fish to vomit Yunus out.

The next names mentioned in lyrics are Ayyub, Yusuf and Yaqub. In the Jewish and Christian traditions, they are known as Job, Joseph and Jacob respectively.

ayyub ko shifa di
tujhko taras jo aaya
yusuf ko ek pal mein
yaqoob se milaaya

The name of Ayyub is also present in the list of Prophets in the Qur’an.  He is described as a righteous servant of Allah, who was afflicted by suffering for a lengthy period of time. It is the time when Satan is trying to turn Ayyub away from God. However, Ayyub never lost faith in God and forever called to Him in prayer, asking Him to remove his affliction.  The narrative goes on to state that after many years of suffering, God ordered Job to “Strike with thy foot!”. At once, Job struck the ground with his foot and God caused a cool spring of water to gush forth from the Earth, from which Job could replenish himself. The Qur’an states that it was then that God removed his pain and suffering and He returned Job’s family to him, blessed him with many generations of children and granted him great wealth.

Yusuf (Joseph) is the son of Yaqub (Jacob). Yaqub had twelve sons who are the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel. Yusuf was the eleventh son. Of all the siblings, Yusuf was the one given the gift of prophesy. He reveals one prophecy to his father, Yaqub, who recognizes it and understands the gift this child has. He foresees that Yusuf would be one through whom the prophecy of his grandfather, Ibrahim (Abraham), would be fulfilled, in that his offspring would keep the light of Abraham’s house alive and spread God’s message to mankind. In addition for being very handsome, Yusuf was of gentle temperament. He was respectful, kind and considerate. Yusuf becomes the favorite son of Yaqub, much to envy and anger of his other brothers.

One day, the brothers hatch a conspiracy. They ask their father to let them take Joseph out to the desert to play and promise to watch him. Jacob, not thrilled with the idea knowing how much the brothers disliked Joseph, hesitates. But the brothers insist. When they have Joseph alone they throw him into a well and leave him there. They return with a blood stained shirt and lie that he had been attacked by a wolf, but their father does not believe them, as he was a sincere man who loves his son.

A passing caravan stops by the well, to draw water and quench their thirst. They see the boy inside. They retrieve him and sell him into slavery in Egypt, to a rich man, Al-‘Aziz. Yusuf is taken into Azīz’s home. Zulaikha, the wife of Al Aziz, is smitten by this young slave, and tries to seduce him. Yusuf does not succumb to her advances – when they are alone the vision of Yaqub appears to him, biting his fingers, and warning Yusuf not to become involved. Yusuf prays to God and says he would prefer to be in prison, than to face such circumstances. Al Aziz knows that Yusuf is innocent, but under influence from his wife, has Yusuf put into prison.

In course of time, inside the prison, Yusuf becomes known for interpretation of dreams. Based on a dream of a fellow prisoner, he foretells his release, which turns out to be true. The news reaches the king, who is seeking interpretation for his own recurrent dream. Yusuf is summoned to the court, and after listening to the dream, explains that the kingdom will enjoy seven years of plenty and prosperity, which will be followed by seven years of great famine. He adds that if the king ensures that enough is stored during the years of plenty, then the suffering in the years of famine will be avoided. The king is pleased to hear this. He orders release of Yusuf and makes him the keeper of warehouses in his kingdom.

Elsewhere in the region, people are suffering due to the famine. Yusuf’s brothers travel to Egypt in search of relief and food. They come to the kingdom, not knowing that Yusuf is a very important member of the king’s court. More events transpire. Yusuf meets his brothers, who fail to recognize him. After testing their sincerity, he reveals his true identity. The family is once again reunited, with Yusuf getting true respect and adoration from all his brothers.

One more name mentioned in the lyrics is that of Nuh, who is known as Noah in the Jewish and Christian traditions.

toofaan se tu ne yaarab
jab nooh ko bachaaya

Nuh is recognized in Islam as a prophet and apostle of God. According to the Islamic tradition, Nuh’s mission is to warn his people, who were plunged in depravity and sin. God charged Nuh with the duty of preaching to his people, advising them to worship only God and to live good and pure lives. Although he preached the Message of God with zeal, his people refused to mend their ways, leading to the Great Flood and the building of the Ark.

So we see, behind just the names mentioned in the verses, there are complete histories and narrations, which document important historical passages and events. That is just like reading and following the verses in the text ‘Vishnu Sahasranaam’. Each name of the Lord has a very important story behind it, and explains why the Lord is (also) known by this name.

Kya Karoon Mujhko Time Nahin

Blog Day :

Hullo to all in Atuldom

So, there is this thing called the 10-year challenge going-on on Facebook, at least I saw a few of my friend’s post “Then and Now” pictures. Atulji also has started something similar on the blog with this post “Inteha Ho Gai Intezaar Ki“. I found this more inspiring to participate in and I was thinking of how my association with this blog began exactly 10 years ago when my daughter stumbled on to this blog (I know I have mentioned this a number of times, sorry for repeating). Then she saw that Atulji is kind enough to post songs requested by readers (followers) – there is a dedicated ‘farmaishes’ page on the blog.

As I sat to write on my 10-year journey with the blog I thought of the first date I landed on this treasure house of lyrics and videos. I don’t remember the exact date, it must be either the 13th or 14th March as it was on 15-3-2019 Peevesie’s first farmaish got posted; a song from the Dev Anand-Nutan starrer ‘Manzil’ (1960).

From then on whenever my daughter browsed the site, I would be sitting next to her. That was the period when we had only one computer in the family and each one was allotted a fixed time slot on the internet and if there was some incoming call, we used to lose net-connectivity as ours was still the dial-up connection. It was a few years later that we switched to broadband. And the switch to broadband also was needed when the kids (who were students then) needed their own lap-tops. Times have changed and I am the only broadband user and everyone has data connect on their mobiles to which they hook their laptops most often.

Oh, I am deviating from my 10-year story.

Then on 19th March I was with Peevesie when she posted a comment to this song “Jaaneman Tum Kamaal Karti Ho” . This was followed by a comment for “Dil Aaj Shaayar Hai. . .“. Oh, we have been ustaads at commenting because the next day I visited the blog and commented on “Logon Ka Dil Agar Jeetna Tumko Hai To“. And Peevesie’s Mom was born.

From then on, I learnt how to navigate the blog, comment on it and post farmaishes. And took on Atulji’s encouragement “Nice to have your say on this song. Please offer your comments regularly as they help me to come up with songs that I may not otherwise be aware of.” And have stayed on since then.

First time I commented from my own id was for the song “Phir Tumhaari Yaad Aai Hai Sanam“. For this song Atulji’s write-up was short and crisp, his only objective being sharing his priceless discovery, that song is indeed a gem. This post also has our Rajaji in a different avatar, don’t know why he didn’t continue. (Rajaji please answer)

My first song as a contributor – first with lyrics and then with posts- came much later. I don’t remember when I started using this “Hullo to all Atulites” but I somehow liked the idea of addressing the followers of the blog. I also don’t remember which was the first song I sent to celebrate a celebrity’s birthday. But continuing that habit here is one more.
[Editor’s Note: It was “Mere Yaar Ko Mere Allah, De Ek Chaand Sa Pyaara Lalla“, on 25th September, 2012.]

But as is the norm set by Atulji in his first post of this series on ’10-year challenge’ here is a list of songs that were posted on 18th March 2009.

Na Jaane Kahaan Tum The
Rehte The Kabhi Jinke Dil Me
Phul Gendwa Na Maaro
Jaa Jaa Jaa Mere Bachpan
Aati Rahengi Bahaarein
Jalta Hai Jiya Mera
Jee Chaahe Jee Chaahe

As I revisited these posts, I see that all the posts were short and crisp with a punchline that brought a smile to the lips. These punchlines were termed ATULISM by Rajaji.

Sample this from the simple post that accompanied the song “Aati Rahengi Bahaarein” from ‘Kasme Vaade’-

Here Amitabh Bachchan, a college professor lives in a palatial residence in such opulence that would give the Nizam of Hyderabad a complex. And only three people live in this palace and one cannot see a single domestic help anywhere. 🙂

Coming back to the purpose of this post – to remember Shashi Kapoor on his 81st birthday. Its already more than a full calendar year since he passed away; time has really flown. I had written down the story synopsis for the accompanying song a long time ago. I had wanted to send this post in 2013 when Shashi would have turned 76.

‘Atithee’ is a 1978 Shashi Kapoor- Shabana Azmi- Shatrughan Sinha- Vidya Sinha movie which I suppose didn’t do very well at the box office. Not much is there on the net other than the synopsis which IMDB.com gives. And I quote

Navendhu Kumar lives a poor lifestyle with his handicapped father, Mohan, housewife mom, two unmarried sisters, Leela and Rajni, a younger brother, Kundan, and a sweetheart in Meena. He works for Avinash Gupta, however, when differences occur, he is framed by Gupta for breaking and entering, arrested by the police, tried in court, and exiled from the town for a period of 12 months. After he leaves, the family is almost destitute and is exploited by Gupta. Then some months later, a young man, Anand, comes to visit them, informing them that Navendhu has sent him. He gives them some money for day to day expenses, gets some clothes for everyone, and a wheelchair for Mohan. He arranges the marriage of Rajni with her boyfriend, Ajay, despite strong opposition from Gupta, and falls in love with Leela. What the Kumar family does not know is that Anand is a fugitive on the run from the police in Bombay, and he harbors a dark secret that will change their lives forever.

To this, I had added,

Actually, what put me on this movie is the song which was posted on ASAD on 15th May 2013. In comments to that song from ‘Manoranjan’ (1974) I had mentioned about a Shashi Kapoor song that uses ‘Goya’ ‘Chunke’ ‘Kintu’ ‘Parantu’ etc and Harveypam(ji) said he only faintly remembered it. Then I sat and searched for the song and decided that it is going to be posted on March 18th that is Shashi Kapoor’s birthday. Today is his 76th birthday.

The song is written by Verma Malik, music is by Kalyanji Anandji and the singing voice is Kishore Kumar. In the song we see Shashi Kapoor playing a kind of love guru to Gayatri and her boyfriend (cannot identify him) a nice fun song so lets enjoy.

And be reminded of the cute charming smile of Shashi Kapoor. 🙂

“Aarambh”(1976) was directed by Gyan Kumar for Prerna Pictures, Calcutta. This obscure social movie had Rakesh Pandey, Rama Vij, Kishore Kapoor, Bipin Gupta, Rohin Kumar, Kalyan Chatterji, Chandrakala, M L Daga, Trilochan Jha, Nanu, B P Tiwari, Madan Sudan, Ravi Yagnik, Surendra Gupta, Tej Bahadur, C R Tenani, Naval Joshi, Akhtar, Gayatri Mukherji, Laxmi Chaaya etc with Master Piyush (new discovery) and Pallavi Mehta (guest role) etc in it.

This movie had four songs in it. Three of these songs have been covered in the past.
Here are the details of the songs from the movie that have been covered so far:-

Sabhi sukh door se guzren 5199 26-Dec-2011
Waadiyon mein kho jaayen ham tum 7542 22-Feb-2013
Tumhaare bina o sajna adhoori hoon main 14690 12-Oct-2018

Here is the fourth and final song from “Aarambh”(1976) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Aarti Mukherji. Shri Shalabh is the lyricist. Music is composed by Anand Shankar.

Only the audio of the song is available. Assuing that Rama Vij was the leading lady of the movie, my guess is that this song was picturised on her (playing a wronged lady) standing near a piano (being played by the hero) where she is blessing the hero despite being wronged. 🙂

Nevertheless, I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.

I have not been able to get one word right in the lyrics. I request our readers with keener ears to help fill in the blanks/ suggest corrections as applicable.

With this song, all the songs in the movie are now covered and “Aarambh”(1976) joins the list of movies that are YIPPIED in the blog. This movie becomes the 150th movie starting with the letter “A” that has been YIPPIED in the blog. 🙂


Song-Khush rahe tu ke khushi ki shama jalti rahe (Aarambh)(1976) Singer-Aarti Mukherji, Lyrics-Shri Shalabh, MD-Anand Shankar

Lyrics

khush rahe tu ke khushi ki shama jalti rahe ae
khush rahe tu ke khushi ki shama jalti rahe
zindagi pyaar ke saanche mein sada dhalti rahe ae
khush rahe tu ke khushi ki shama jalti rahe

manzilen khud hi miley raah se teri aakar
manzilen khud hi miley raah se teri aakar
tere jazbaat e tamanna ki raushni paa kar
teri azmat mein
azmat mein
nihaan rasme wafa milti rahe ae
khush rahe tu ke khushi ki shama jalti rahe ae
khush rahe
khush rahe ae
khush rahe tu

zindagi phoolon bhari geeton bhari ho teri ee
zindagi phoolon bhari geeton bhari ho teri
bas yahi ek dua tere liye hai meri
tere gulshan mein kali kali
khwaabon mein pali khilti rahe ae
khush rahe tu ke khushi ki shama jalti rahe
zindagi pyaar ke saanche mein sada dhalti rahe ae
khush rahe tu ke khushi ki shama jalti rahe ae
khush rahe tu
khush rahe ae
khush rahe tu

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2009-19) – Song No. 18
————————————————

‘Pyaasa Saawan’ (1981) is one of the lovely reminders of those movie watching days, when we were (for me) watching movies either with elders in the family or with siblings and cousins or sometimes together with all. Those were the days when movie watching was the biggest attraction after ‘print media’, ‘radio’, and ‘cricket’ (for me).

To be a ‘fan’ of ‘Rajesh Khanna’ was still a year or two in the future to happen.

Another reminder of this movie are of course its songs. Particularly ‘Megha Re Megha Re’ and ‘Tera Saath Hai To’. Other songs of this movie were also good and they were frequently played on radio or loudspeakers.

The first song from this movie to be posted on the blog was ‘Tera Saath Hai To’. It was ten years ago, on 17.03.2009 and so far, no comment appears on this song on the blog. However, and that is another reason for this article of today, this song was covered only with one version and i.e. the female version sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Whereas, the song is a ‘multiple version’ song and the male version is sung by Kamlesh Awasthi. I am also sharing the lyrics for this male version of the song with a request to our ‘Editors’ to please update this in the ‘main post’. Also, the third stanza in the ‘female version’ was not included in the post of 17.03.2009, which I have included in full lyrics and would request Shri Atul ji and Shri Sudhir ji to kindly update in this song’s post.

Now coming back to the ‘ten-year challenge’ – 2009-2019 – the other movies represented on the blog that day i.e. on 17.03.2009 were;

  • ‘Dost’ (1974) (all songs have already been covered and needs to painted ‘red’)
  • ‘Deewaana’ (1992)
  • ‘Manchali’ (1973)
  • ‘Parwana’ (1971)
  • ‘Baat Ek Raat Ki’ (1962)

All the above movies except ‘Deewaana’ and ‘Pyaasa Saawan’ have already been covered for their all songs on the blog and Yippeeee’ed 🙂

‘Pyaasa Saawan-1981’ was directed by Dasari Narayan Rao for Tirupati Pictures Combine, Bombay. It was produced by Prasan Kapoor (brother of actor Jeetendra) and as such it was Jeetendra’s home production. Dasari Narayan Rao had also written the story and screenplay of this movie. Dialogues of this movie were written by Raj Baldev Raj. Editing of this movie was done by GG Krishna Rao. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 20.08.1981.

The film has Jeetendra (in double role), Moushumi Chatterjee, Reena Roy, Deven Verma, Madan Puri, Asha Lata, Javed, Duggal, NS Bedi, Prem Kumar, Umesh Khanna, Ashok Saxena, Babloo, Babban, Raghvaiyya, Ashok Shivpuri, Heera, Billi, BA Subba Rao, Mahmood Khan, and Verma. Vinod Mehra and Aruna Irani make a special appearance in this movie, and Kumar Aditya makes a guest appearance.

This movie has six songs (including one multiple version song). All its songs are written by Santosh Anand and music is composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Suresh Wadkar and Kamlesh Awasthi had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

Three songs of this movie have been posted on the blog earlier and third, other than the two mentioned above is ‘O Meri Chhamak Chhallo’. The song being posted today is the fifth song from this movie and that considering of the updating of the multiple version song.

All the songs from this movie were quite good songs and enjoyable songs – ‘Megha Re Megha Re’ and ‘Tera Saath Hai To’ are the ones which I liked most. Though I had watched this movie then I did not remember it completely and as I was preparing for this article I was recollecting its story and other songs. As Atul ji has mentioned in his post while presenting the first song from this movie on the blog, the movie reminds of the ‘Chadamama’ stories. Yes of course!!

Because here we see a Father becoming wealthier after lot of struggle and hard work and though neglecting his wife in the process of accumulating wealth and losing her up brings his only son with lot of love. And when once he has to attend the birthday celebration of this son, and he didn’t get a ticket in the flight (no advance booking may be 🙂 ) he orders his secretary to ‘charter a plane’ and finally reaching only to see that his son is not at home but enjoying in a club. . . (To be concluded 🙂 )

The son also finds himself in a similar situation like his father, when he takes over the family business and his marriage comes to a stage of ‘divorce’. But finally the Father saves it all and we have a ‘happy ending’ there 🙂

Let us now enjoy the today’s song sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Suresh Wadkar. Lyrics are by Santosh Anand and it is composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. On screen it is performed by Jeetendra and the beautiful Reena Roy!!

Song – In Haseen Waadiyon Se  (Pyaasa Saawan) (1981) Singer – Suresh Wadkar, Lata Mangeshkar, Lyrics – Santosh Anand, MD – Laxmikant Pyaarelal
Suresh Wadkar + Lata Mangeshkar

“Baaje Ghunghroo”(1962) was directed by Shivraj Shrivastava for Ram Raj Films, Bombay. The movie had Manhar Desai, Nalini Chonkar, Sheela Kashmiri, Leela Misra, Manju, Jagdish Kanwal, Nazir Kashmiri, Jugal Kishore, Keshri, Baby Farida, Baby Kokila, BA, Khan etc in it.

The movie had eight songs in it. One song from the movie has been covered in the past.

Here is the second song from “Baaje Ghunghroo”(1962) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Rafi, Seeta Agrawal and Savita Bannerji. Shivraj Shrivastava is the lyricist. Music is composed by Dhaniram.

Only the audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.

This song is clearly the title song of the movie. I may have erred in colorcoding the female voices which are unfamiliar to me. I request our readers with keener eras to point out the errors in the lyrics, if any.

Ulfat ki rakhna sharam balam tumhen meri kasam

Blog Day : 3894 Post No. : 14931

Today’s song is from the film Jungle ki Duniya-59. From the title itself, it is clear that it was one of those C grade films, in which stories take place on the background of Jungle and generally centre around a lost child who is inheritor of a big estate.

Most of us like to see films, be it on a TV, in a cinema hall,or through DVD. Some like old films some like new films.

Did you ever see films like, Khooni Khanzar,Dagabaj Doctor,Shaitaan ka paash,Char chakram,Daku Rani Talwarwali,Jaadu ka dandaa,Zinda Laash,Revolver Rani,Sindbad-Alladin-Alibaba,Flying man,Fighter Sheela,Khooni Darinda,Tarzan aur Jadugar,Tarzan aur Jadui Chiraag,Golden Gang,Murde ki jaan khatare mein,or Jadui putli ?

I bet none of these movie names have been even heard by you.These are all STUNT FILMS or in other words ‘C’ grade films.

In India I really wonder how the classification or Grading of films is done,or who is the person or the body authorised to do it. Because Censor Certificates do not label A B or C grades at all. Then how does this happen ?

My guess is that films are graded on 2 counts- One, The cost of production or Budget and the class of stars in it and Two, The class of people for whom the film is made or directed, like the Rich, middle and the Poor class. Whatever the basis,there is a very thin line between A and B grade films,while between these two and the C grade films,the line is very Bold and thick indeed !

Stunt films, Costume films,fantasy films and purely Religious films are normally treated as C grade films. These film do not carry any prestige, the actors working in them are exclusive to C grade films,the production values and the budget is quite low and most important, they are ALWAYS shown in theatres situated in older parts of the town, single screens, or only for Morning shows or in Theatres generally frequented by lower strata of society.

A person seeing/loving or craving for such films is generally considered a ‘Low’ creature and a person with ‘child brain’.

In India ,this is the fate of C grade films.Actually these films have everything that A and B grade films have,like,story,songs,dances,fights etc,but still,the treatment given to handling of the story etc in the films is very poor or lacking in expertise.

Stunts have improved,Technology has evolved but the participation of Zippy the Monkey,Tiger the Horse,Moti the Dog,parrots,snakes and khatara cars named Rolls Royce ki beti and Austin ki Bachhi is missing ! The contribution of Fearless Nadia in making Stunt films popular can not be denied,but then she had the backing of companies like Wadia Movietone.Basant pictures,Ranjit,Sagar,national etc. When you read the stories of these films please don’t employ Logic or common sense to it. This is a different world altogether.The set of actors is fixed,many times the composers are unheard of or they are known composers now in bad shape,the Directors are typical and the production houses are exclusive to churn out such films.

It is,nevertheless,a fact that many well known and famous actors and actresses of the 40s and 50s evolved from the stunt films of yore. Examples are Jairaj or Master Bhagwan. Can you believe that this roly-poli Bhagwan dada was a great body-builder when he started in stunt films in the late 20s and 30s ? Lalita Pawar(Amboo),Madhuri,Rampyari,Miss Moti,Sabita Devi,and Sulochans(Ruby Myers) are some female examples who graduated to Social films via Stunt films.

Sometimes Gems are found in these C grade films. Remember the famous qawwaali- Hamen to loot liya mil ke husnwalon ne- which had the honour of becoming the prestigious 5000 th song in this Blog ? This was from a C grade film- AL HILAL.

In my younger age I was fond of stunt films and used to travel to theatres in Old city of Hyderabad,to watch films featuring Kamran (father of famous choreographer and Director Farah khan and Director,comedian,Anchor Sajid Khan),Naazi,Bhagwan and many such actors.” Adventures of captain marvel and Trip to the Moon” were my favourites from Hollywood’s republic Serial productions.

In the 50s and 60s,some respectability to these stunt films was brought by actors like Mahipal,Ranjan,Dara Singh,Azad,Hemant Birje etc.The set of Heroines was also set to Mumtaz,tabassum,Vijaya chaudhary,Indira,nishi etc.Mumtaz started with Stunts and graduated to greater heights and was counted in Top actresses of her days. Costume and Stunt films like Baaz,Insaniyat and Azaad etc were made respectable by the stars acting in them.

Over a period the picture changed and nowadays every alternate film has breath-taking stunts done by almost all top Heroes.

Action/Stunt films have a major segment and that is films made with Jungle as a background. Such films had their inspiration from Hollywood Tarzan films. The original Tarzan story was written by Sir Edgar Rice Burrows and it was first published in 1912,followed by its 23 sequels.The story proved to be immensely popular.No wonder,then,that it attracted the Hollywood producers.

The First Silent film ” Tarzan of the Apes” was released in 1918 in which Tarzan’s role was done by Elmo Lincoln and Jane Porter was Enid Markey.From 1918 to 2008,Hollywood has made 89 Tarzan Films. The First Talkie film on Tarzan was ” Tarzan-The Ape Man” in 1932.Johnny Weissmuller was doing Tarzan’s role and Maureen O’Sulivan was Jane in it. Johnny was a German bred Romanian settled in America.He was an Olympic Swimming Champion with 5 Gold medals.The pair of Johnny and Maurine was very popular. Johnny Weissmuller did 12 films of Tarzan from 1932 to 1948. 6 films with Maureen,2 without any Jane and 4 with Brenda Joyce.After Johnny 5 Tarzan films were done by Lex Barker and 6 were done by Gordon Scot.After 1960,there were different Tarzan actors in every film. The Chimpanzee “Cheetah” was there in films from 1932 to 1960,when he died.

In most films,the scripts were loyal to the novels.However,in the novel,Tarzan and Jane get married and they have a son too.But in films,they never got married and their son ” BOY ” was found and adopted by Jane. There was one film ” Tarzan goes to India”-1962, in which Firoz khan,Simi garewal,jagdish Raj (as Police Inspector),Murad and G.raghavan had also acted.

In western films,the popular roles are done by the same actors in many films and they are known by that character.For example Sean Connery is famous for James Bond roles,similarly,Johnny Weissmuller is known for his Tarzan roles.These actors later did many other films but their names were connected to the famous roles for ever. In India,we do not find such consistency.Here the actor is known by the Genre of his specialty films-like tragedy films-Dilip kumar,Comedy Films-kishore kumar,Romantic films-Dev Anand, Action Films-Akshay kumar etc.

In India, the core concepts of famous stories on Tarzan, Mythology or folk/costume are adapted by our film makers with great talent and creativity. While doing so,they have twisted the Time frame, boundaries of famous stories have been scaled with exceptional ease and an unusual mixture of story characters woven into films. For example, films like Sindbad, Alibaba and Alladin-65 or Shankar, Seeta and Anusuya-65 can only be thought of by the most creative and innovative story writers !

Famous character Tarzan has been combined in Hindi films with Delialah, King Kong, Circus, Cobra, Gorilla, Hercules, Jadugar, Magic lamp, Jalpari, Paristan, Fairyland and even Delhi ! For our film makers Time and History are no barriers. Tarzan has been adapted to its Indian Avatar in the form of Zambo, Zimbo, Zango and Zingaro.

Films with Jungle Titles are almost 60. Here too, the kind of variety in Titles will surprise you. Jungle is coupled with Boy, Beta, Man, King, Jawan, Jawahar, Hero, Girl, Goddess, Princess, Chandni, Sherni, Nagin, Queen, Love, Love story, Haseena, Hoor, Ladki, Sundari, Jawani, Pyar, Muhabbat etc etc. There is one Junglee Tarzan also to sum up the titles.

Today’s film Jungle ki Duniya-59 was made by Swastik Chitramala, produced by C J Kansara, directed by B N Choudhari (Ret Mahal-49 and Bedard-49). Music was by one film wonder Jugal Banerjee. There were 7 songs, recorded in 1956, but the film was censored only in 1959. The film cast was Indira, Baburao pehelwan, Umesh Sharma, Habib, Kesari, Heera Sawant, Kailash Kumari etc etc.

The Heroine was Indira. This is a ‘Same Name Confusion’ artiste. During the silent Era and early Talkie period, there was one Indira Devi. her real name was Effie Hippolet- an Anglo-Indian She acted in silent films since 1927, but did only one Talike-Wamaq Azra-1935. Then there is the comedian fatty Indira Bansal This Indira was different.

Indira, one of Punjabi cinema’s most popular leading ladies of the 1960s, was born on August 6, 1938 in northern India. Growing up in an aristocratic family in the Punjab village of Kharian, her family lost everything when they had to flee their home during partition to settle in Kanpur. In 1952 her family shifted to Bombay where an Elder brother ran a successful business.

Indira was noticed by the popular comedienne Bhagwan while he was shooting a movie at Jagriti Studios, and she was put in the cast of his film Rangeela (1953). Raj Kapoor, who happened to be visiting the set of Rangeela, noticed Indira and later cast her as the daughter of a rich industrialist in his film Shree 420 (1955).

Indira continued to appear in supporting roles in major Hindi productions like Funtoosh (1956), Yahudi (1958), and Dil Deke Dekho(1959). She had just appeared as the lead in the low budget yarn Jungle Ki Duniya (1959) when she was cast as the heroine in a Punjabi film titled Yamla Jatt in 1960. This was followed that same year by two more Punjabi pictures, Do Lacchian and Kiklee. All three films were very successful.

Returning to Hindi language movies, she found herself much in demand for B-films with colorful titles like Maya Mahal (1963), Jungle Boy (1963), Tarzan Aur Jadugar (1963), Pahadi Nagin (1964), Arab Ka Lal (1964), Son of Zimbo (1966), Sheba and Hercules (1967), Tarzan in Fairyland (1968) and CID Agent 302 (1968), sometimes playing the heroine, but more often than not as a vamp or villain. Occasionally she would snag a nice supporting role in a major production like Do Dil (1965) or Mere Huzoor (1968), and she still continued to star in Punjabi fare.

Sometimes billed as Indira Billi (her real name was Indira Kaur) she was interviewed in 1963 for Picturpost magazine where she talked about her beginnings: “I had not the good fortune of stepping into films and finding myself a heroine right from the start as had been the case with many glamour girls these days. It was a life of toil and tears, fighting every inch, every day, and month after month. Sometimes I was fed up, felt tired of the ceaseless struggle to make my presence felt. With the struggle for existence keen and with not enough money, those early days were none too happy for a girl aspiring for a respectable place in the film world, let alone stardom. Sometimes I had my misgivings whether I was right in coming into films. Some kind of inferiority complex took hold of me and I thought several times that I would never become a star.”

Indira married cinema owner Shiv Kumar in the early to mid-1960s and left the film scene in the early 1970s.(Thanks to shri Mike Barnum ji).

Kesari was a comedian and villain. He acted from 1933 to 1974, in 123 films. He also sang 10 songs in 7 films. Another small time actor was Habib who acted in 209 films from 1942 to 1980. In this film the famous monkey Zippy ( famous for his role in film Insaniyat-55) also had a role to do.

Today’s song is a dance song video, shot on Heroine Indira and Hero Umesh Sharma.

“Jail Yatra”(1947) was produced and directed by Gajanan Jageerdaar for Jaageerdaar productions, Bombay. This “Social” movie had Gajanan Jageerdaar, Kamini Kaushal, Raj Kapoor, Harish, Bikram Kapoor, Badri Prasad, Sunalini Devi, Dixit, Ramlal, Hemavati, Pratima Devi , Sagar, Munawwar Khan, Rammurty, Satyanarayan, Ramlal, Shamlal etc in it.

The movie had eight songs in it. Two songs have been covered in the past.

Here is the third song from “Jail Yatra”(1947) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Ninu Majumdar and Meena Kapoor. Sajjan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ninu Majumdar.

Only the audio of the song is available. From the sounds of it, the song appears to be a dance song. Gajanan Jageerdaar , the hero of the movie, most probably lip synced in Ninu Majumdar’s voice. I am less sure about the lady lip syncing in Meena Kapoor’s voice. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.


Song-O gori kahaan chali us paar (Jail Yaatra)(1947) Singers-Ninu Majumdar, Meena Kapoor, Lyrics-Sajjan, MD-Ninu Majumdar

Lyrics

o gori kahaan chali us paar
o gori kahaan chali us paar
chhod ke gaanvon ki bahaar
arri sun
mor bole ho
aeji mor bole
mor bole mor bole ho

rasiya jaaungi us paar
bulaate hain jagmag baazaar
rasiya jaaungi us paar
bulaate hain jagmag baazaar
man hamaar dole ho
man hamaar dole ho

gori rum jhum rum jhum baaje
saawan ki bauchhaar
gori rum jhum rum jhum baaje
saawan ki bauchhaar
rasiya chhoom chhananchhan baaje
rasiya chhoom chhananchhan baaje
paayal ki jhankaar
rasiya chhoom chhananchhan baaje
paayal ki jhankaar
hamaara hara bhara hai gaanv
hamaara hara bhara hai gaanv
aam ki thhandi thhandi chhaanv

Duniya ka mela mele mein ladki

This article touches upon “blog ten year challenge (2009-2019)” but this article is not part of that series. It is not possible to post an article in this series Today (16 march 2019), because movies of all the songs (all six of them) that were covered ten years ago (on 16 march 2009) have already been YIPPEED by now. 🙂

This blog ten year challenge (2009-2019) was started to serve some purpose, though we were not fully clear about them.

Let me try and enumerate them one by one.

Revisit movies that have not been revisited for years–
————————————————————————-
Songs and movies that we covered ten years ago and then forgot about those movies once again get our attention. Take “Sharaabi”(1984) for instance. It was as a result of this series that we realised that this movie, despite being introduced in the blog as far back as in 2009 had only three songs in the blog and that no songs from this movie were covered in the blog since 2012 !

The case of “Do Dishaayen”(1982) was specially remarkable. The movie had three songs in it. Two of these songs were covered on consecutive days on 2 and 3 february 2009 and then we forgot all about this movie. Thanks to this series, the third and final song from the movie got covered ten years after its debut in the blog and the movie got YIPPEED on 3 february 2019.

Likewise, movies like “Gomti Ke Kinaare”(1972) etc got fresh lease of life in the blog as a result of this series.

A fillip to YIPPEE project
——————————————
As a result of this series, we found that a few movies whose songs got covered became YIPPEED as well. For instance, when we covered this song from “Sitaaron Se Aage”(1958), this had the added advantage of this movie getting YIPPEED as well.In other case, after we covered a song from a movie, we realised that the movie had one or two songs left and so that movie came under our radar for YIPPYdom.

Bringing back memories
———————————————-
For some regulars (especially those born in 1960s), this series brought back memories of the past.

A better appreciation of the past
————————————————–
The blog has evolved over a period of more than ten years. It has changed a lot. The way songs and movies were chosen in the past has undergone a change with time, though all these changes are mostly inadvertent and largely unplanned. Only some other observers can notice any patterns in the song posts of the blog one decade ago.

Mr Sadanand Kamath, our inhouse HFM researcher, who posted an article in the series carried out some indepth research on the way songs were covered ten years ago. He observed that

during July 19, 2008 to December 31, 2008, an overwhelming number of songs covered were of the films released in the 1960s and 70s with few songs from the 1950s and 1980s. However, the representation of songs from the films released in the 1930s and 40s were negligible. For instance, out of 475 songs covered during the period under reference, only 5 songs pertained to the films released in the 1940s – that too the late 1940s. Not a single songs of films released in the 1930s were covered during the period under reference.

These trends were, however, on the expected lines for two reasons. First, Atul ji, considering his age profile at the time of starting of the Blog, has virtually grown up in the midst of popular songs of the films of 1960s and 70s. Obviously, as a ‘start-up venture’ of his Blog, he would have been influenced by such songs. Secondly, and most importantly, even if he intended to cover the songs of the 1930s and 40s, I doubt whether these songs were available in good numbers on the video sharing platforms in 2008. Youtube was set up in 2005 as a video sharing platform. A random browsing of videos on YT gives me an impression that videos of Hindi film songs were uploaded in good numbers only from 2007 onward and the videos of old film songs (1930s and 40s) were getting uploaded mainly from 2009 onward.

The song under discussion is not a “ten year challenge” song, but this song appears here today as a result of this exercise. Another song from this movie “Raja Jani”(1972) was part of the “ten year challenge” post on 5 march 2019. That post triggered all kinds of nostalgic feelings among regulars. This movie “Raja Jani”(1972) had made its debut on the 22nd day of the blog on 9 august 2008 and it was the 22nd post in the blog. By the time the second post from this movie appeared on 5 april 2009, the blog was more than one thousand songs old. The third song from the movie came after a gap of 5800 songs in 4 november 2012. After that there was a big gap of over six years during which this movie was all but forgotten.

It was on 5 march 2019 that the fourth song from “Raja Jani”(1972) was covered as a part of “blog ten year challenge”. It was then that we realised that the movie was another two songs short of being YIPPEED.

One of these two missing songs has subsequently been covered in the blog.

Here are the details of the songs from the movie that have been covered so far:-

Mr Pratap, senior to most of us had watched this movie when it was released. Here is what he has to say about this movie:

I saw the movie when it was released and remember that I enjoyed it mainly due to the songs.

As far as I recall, the story was a standard formula one, Hema Malini is a lost princess, raised by Nadira and earns her living through dances and acrobatics. Dharmendra is the lovable rogue who notices the similarity of Hema with the description of the lost princess in the posters/newspaper ads and thinks up a scheme of passing her off as the princess and get the promised reward. Durga Khote is the grandmother Rajmata who is literally dying for the lost girl. She gladly accepts Hema and soon announces her engagement to the evil Prime Minister Premnath’s still more evil son Prem Chopra. Hema is heartbroken when she learns that Darmendra was using her as a pawn to get the reward and she accepts. Not very original, so you know the rest of the story.

Here is the sixth and final song from “Raja Jani”(1972) to appear in the blog. The song is chronologically the first song of the movie. It is sung by Lata. Anand Bakshi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal.

One can watch the picturisation and guess what is going on, in the light of the movie synopsis provided earlier.

In this blog, we first cover a song and then regulars post comment about that song. The song is “special” because this song has received comments about it even before it has been posted. These comments were posted in the penultimate song post of course. For instance, Peevesie’s mom commented that

A song that I love, specially “shanno naam uska” line.
I used to substitute shanno with my name. 😉

With this song, all the songs of “Raja Jani” (1972) have been covered and the movie joins the list of movies that have been YIPPIED in the blog.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2009-19) – Song No. 17
————————————————

‘Joshila-1973’ is another movie which I remember to have watched around end of seventies. It was screened during the weekly screening of movies at our ‘colony club’ where we stayed at that time. I never got a chance to watch it again. However, its heart touching song ‘Kiska rasta dekhe ai dil ai saudaayi’ became a permanent memory associated with this movie. This also became to be the most popular and famous song from this movie. Very aptly this movie was launched on this blog with this Kishore Kumar song on 15.03.2009.

Couple of other songs from this movie like ‘Dil mein jo baaten hai aao chalo ham keh den ’ and ‘Kuchh bhi kar lo ik din tumko ’ were also good and they were frequently heard on radio. Having the typical RD touch, they were also heard frequently on radio and loudspeakers.

However, none of the songs from this movie could make it to the annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala -1973’.

All the songs of this movie were written by Sahir Ludhianvi. But at that time, I was not a fan of Sahir Saab and had not read or known much about him. And it is natural for anybody given the age at that time not to bother about other things except listening the songs.

Coming back to our ‘blog ten-year challenge’ let us go through the list of movies of which the songs were represented ten years back on 15.03.2009;

‘Shareef Badmaash-1973’
‘Saawan Ko Aane Do-1979’
‘Joshila-1973’
‘Kashmir Ki Kali-1964’
‘Manzil-1960’
‘Dil Tera Deewaana-1962’

All the above movies except ‘Joshila-1973’ have attained ‘Yippeee’ed status (all songs covered status) on the blog.

That brings us to the today’s movie, a song from which we are going to listen …

‘Joshilaa-1973’ or ‘Joshila’ was directed by Yash Chopra for ‘Trimurti Films Pvt Ltd’. It was produced by Gulshan Rai.

It had Dev Anand, Hema Malini, Pran, Bindu, Madan Puri, Manmohan Krishna, Padma Khanna, Sulochana, Iftekhar, Sudhir, Hercules, Master Satyajit, I.S. Johar, Vikas Anand, Jagdish Raj, S.N. Bannerjee, Chandu Allahabadi, Praveen Kumar, Uma Khosla, Ramlal, Shamlal, Uma Dutt and Nazeer. Rakhi and Mahendra Sandhu had a special appearance in this movie.
And Roopesh Kumar, A.K. Hangal, Sheetal, Ashu and Laxmichhaya in guest appearance.

Story of this movie was written by Gulshan Nanda and screenplay was written by C.J. Pavri and Akhtar Mirza. Diagloues of this movie were written by Akhtar-Ul-Iman. Editing of this movie was done by Pran Mehra.

This movie was passed by censor board on 26.09.1973.

This movie had total eight songs. So far five songs from this movie have been posted on the blog. The other two songs posted (from the three I mentioned above) are ‘Kaanp rahi main ’ and ‘Sona Rupa laayo re ’. The song being posted today is the sixth song from this movie to be posted on the blog.

Also, I was under the impression that the song ‘sharma nan yoon ghabra na yoon’ was already covered, but that remains to be covered.

However, for today’s post I have selected a ‘lesser heard’ song from this movie. (Even I don’t remember to have heard it before preparing of this post).

As mentioned above all songs of this movie were penned by Sahir Ludhianvi and music was composed by R.D. Burman. Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle and Kishore Kumar gave their voices to the songs in this movie. As per HFGK track listing of this movie Dev Anand’s voice is credited in one song.

Lata had two solos and one duet, Asha Bhonsle three solos (including one with Dev Anand’s dialogues) and one duet, and Kishore Kumar having one solo and two duet songs.

I guess that the today’s song and one more Lata solo were excluded* from the movie and hence their video seem to be unavailable. (I request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this.)
*(though HFGK doesn’t have any note about this)

Let us now listen to today’s song. After repeat listening, we may find ourselves humming the other RD gem ‘khaali haath shaam aayi hai’ 🙂 as well. (that is the magic of music or ragas (if I am not wrong 🙂 )

Song-Jo baat ishaaron mein kahi (Josheela)(1973) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Sahir Ludhianvi, MD-R D Burman

Lyrics

Ho o o
Jo baat ishaaron mein kahi
Tum nahin samjhe
Hamne to hazaaron mein kahi
Tum nahin samjhe
Tum nahin samjhe ae
Tum nahin samjhe ae
Jo baat ishaaron mein kahi
Tum nahin samjhe
Hamne to hazaaron mein kahi
Tum nahin samjhe

Hamne ye chaaha thhaa
Kadmon mein bas rehte
O lekin ham ye hasrat
Apne munh se kaise kehte ae ae
Hamne ye chaaha thhaa
Kadmon mein bas rehte
Ho o lekin ham ye hasrat
Apne munh se kaise kehte
Saanson ki pukaaron mein kahi
Tum nahin samjhe ae
Jo baat ishaaron mein kahi
Tum nahin samjhe
Ho hamne to hazaaron mein kahi
Tum nahin ee samjhe

O o hamne neendein haari
Tumne chaahat jeeti
Ho o bheegi rut mein
Tapte dil par
Tum bin jo jo beeti ee ee
hamne ae neendein haari
Tumne chaahat jeeti
Ho o bheegi rut mein
Tapte dil par
Tum bin jo jo beeti
Ashqon ki phuhaaron mein kahi
Tum nahin samjhe ae
Jo baat ishaaron mein kahi
Tum nahin samjhe
Hamne to hazaaron mein kahi
Tum nahin samjhe
Laa laa laa laa
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm

हो ओ हो ओ
जो बात इशारों में कही
तुम नहीं समझे
हमने तो हज़ारों में कही
तुम नहीं समझे
तुम नहीं समझे ऐ
तुम नहीं समझे
जो बात इशारों में कही
तुम नहीं समझे
हमने तो हज़ारों में कही
तुम नहीं समझे

हमने ये चाहा था
क़दमों में बस रहते
ओ लेकिन हम ये हसरत
अपने मुंह से कैसे कहते
हमने ये चाहा था
क़दमों में बस रहते
हो ओ लेकिन हम ये हसरत
अपने मुंह से कैसे कहते
साँसों कि पुकारों में कही
तुम नहीं समझे ए
जो बात इशारों में कही
तुम नहीं समझे
हमने तो हज़ारों में कही
तुम नहीं ई समझे

ओ ओ हमने नींदें हारी
तुमने चाहत जीती
हो ओ भीगी रुत में
तपते दिल पर
तुम बिन जो जो बीती ई ई
हमने ए नींदें हारी
तुमने चाहत जीती
हो ओ भीगी रुत में
तपते दिल पर
तुम बिन जो जो बीती ई ई

अश्कों कि फुहारों में कही
तुम नहीं समझे
जो बात इशारों में कही
तुम नहीं समझे
हमने तो हज़ारों में कही ई
तुम नहीं ई समझे
ला ला ला ला
हं हं हं हं
हं हं हं हं
हं हं हं हं
