Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 95
Today I present to you a beautiful song from an obscure movie – “Kora Aanchal” (1973). However, imagine my surprise when I found a song from this film posted on the blog. Equally surprising was the reason why that particular song was posted by Atul Ji a little over two years ago. And the reason was that the song was about a donkey and it was posted on a World Donkey Day!! Funny, isn’t it?
My song today is “Rona Mera Naseeb Hai” sung by Asha Bhosle, written by Somesh Joshi and composed by Roshanlal Khatri.
“Koraa Aanchal”(1973) was directed by Somesh Joshi & V. Mhatre for ‘Mexico Films, Bombay’. The movie had had Dheeraj, Narendra Nath, Snehlata, Laxmi Chhaya, Joginder, Junior Mehmood, and others in it. Actress Veena made guest appearance in this movie.

Today’s song is from a film which is almost 90 year old – Jaagirdar-1937. It was made by Sagar Movietone, Bombay.
The talkie films started in 1931 and there was a great activity in the film industry. Major filmmakers from the Silent era were cautious about the future of the Talkie Films, but some people with a vision jumped into making Talkie films. At the same time some more adventurous people entered filmmaking and new studios and companies came up.
The first decade, i.e. from 1931 to 1940 was full of experiments. At a time many Genres were tried. Many experiments were undertaken. The industry was still under the influence of a silent era mentality, so those who could not cope up with the new approach soon eclipsed-like Madon Theatres. Intelligent directors understood that the Talkie films have to be made with a different approach- like V.Shantaram and Sohrab Modi, for example. They not only became famous but also lasted for longer periods.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————
Today’s song is a nice composition from the movie ‘Daku Mangal Singh-1966’. Lyrics for this song were sent by Prakashchandra long back. Listeni8ng to songs like this (that I had not heard before), I am beginning to realise that apart from the songs that we grw up listening to (that we fondly remember), there many be thousands of songs that we could never listen to. Seing that most of these songs belonged to obscure movies, it is unlikely that music lovers will ever listen to these forgotten songs.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film Ayodhyapati-1956.
The Producer was A.A.Nadiyadwala, the Director was S. Fattelal and the Music Director was Ravi – an assistant to Hemant Kumar for a long time. Ravi had just become an independent Music Director for the film Vachan-1955. However, he still continued for a few more years as Hemant Kumar’s assistant. It was a rare case of Ravi giving music to a Mythological film, if you look at his later years’ performance. But, being a new independent MD, I guess, he accepted whichever film he got.
The cast of the film included Usha Kiran, Abhi Bhattacharya, Achala Sachdeva, Manorama, Rajkumar Khatri, Ratnamala, Anant Kumar, Balraj Mehta, Rajan Haksar, Dar Kashmiri (elder brother of actor Jeevan), Baby Asha Parekh and many others.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-12
Today’s duet composition by Rahul Dev Burman is from the 1996 movie ‘Ghatak’ or ‘Ghaatak’. This movie was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi who also produced this movie for his home productions ‘Santoshi Productions, Bombay’. It was passed by the Censor Board on 01.11.1996.
In the last post under this series we had a song from the 1993 movie ‘Aaja Meri Jaan’. No movies with R D Burman’s music were released during 1994 and 1995. Though the movie ‘1942 A Love Story’ is mentioned as a movie of 1994, it was actually certified by the Censor Board on 31.12.1993. So it is obvious that it was released in the theatres in 1994. (However as per non-documented but strictly adhered 🙂 to SOP of this blog, we now need to correct the year of ‘1942-A Love Story’ as 1993 on this blog 🙂 ).
The cast of ‘Ghatak-1996’ included Sunny Deo, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Danny Dengzongpa, Tinu Anand, K.K. Raina, Anjan Shrivastava, Amrish Puri, Om Puri, Mamta Kulkarni, Mukesh Rishi, Ila Arun, Viju Khote, Harish Patel, Brij Gopal and others. Music for this movie was composed by R.D Burman and Anu Malik. Since R.D Burman passed away during the making of the film, Anu Malik was roped in to record the remaining one song for this movie. This movie has five songs and total six sound tracks including a ‘theme music’ track composed by R.D Burman. Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the songs for this movie. Playback singers for this movie are Suresh Wadkar, Sadhna Sargam, Alka Yagnik, Shankar Mahadevan, Anu Malik, Kavita Krishnamurthy, and Asha Bhonsle.

Before coming to the song, I would like to talk about the film itself. I remember going to see it at Chandragupt Talkies, one of the then popular single screen cinemas of Indore with my brother and enjoying this movie. That cinema is long gone like many other single screens but I still remember the josh of going to that huge cinema hall. Indore which came in the MP circle used to have this unique thing that the cinemas would get displayed on Thursdays (most other circles actually screened the movie the next day on the Friday). There would be huge queues to do advance bookings in those cinemas. Sometimes, we would have to request passing by girls and ladies to stand in the ladies queue to get tickets fast!
