Hullo Atuldom

30th March marks 24 years since Anand Bakshi bid goodbye to this mortal world. He was all of 72 then. In the 45 years that he was active in the Hindi film industry he had worked with nearly 95-100 music directors (as per google) beginning with “Silver King” (1957) which had music by Sudipta (knowledgeable Atulites, please confirm if this music director is same as Sudipta Bhattacharya) & “Bhala Aadmi” (1958) with music by Nisar Bazmi; Bakshisaab first wrote for ‘Bhala Aadmi’ but ‘Silver King’ released first is what I discovered on google as I sat to write this post.

#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————

Today’s song is from the film ‘Maine Jeenaa Seekh Liyaa-1959’. I came across this movie title while browsing the ‘List-of-songs-moviewise’ on the blog during my regular browsing on the blog.

Music of this movie is composed by the genius music composer Roshan. Only two of its songs are posted on this blog. Out of curiosity, I looked at the remaining songs of this movie. I do not remember to have listened to the songs associated with this title. I was only aware of same movie title from the year 1982. I will take up the songs of this same name of eighties later.

‘Maine Jeenaa Seekh Liyaa-1959’ was a social movie which was directed by Satish Nigam for ‘Filmistan Limited, Bombay’. It was passed by the Censor Board on 10.12.1959. The cast of this movie had Ameeta, Ravindra Kapoor, Durga Khote, P. Kailash, Badri Prasad, Agha, Savita Chatterjee, Lata, Sushil Kumar, Murad, Noorjahan, Narbada Shankar, Tiger (Dog), Munshi Khanjar and others.

Usually, on this blog, we find ourselves digging through the dusty bins of the 1940s and 50s, looking for a rare Geeta Dutt or a forgotten C. Ramchandra gem. But every once in a while, a song comes along in the modern era that feels like it was written with a fountain pen in a rain-soaked balcony, far away from the noisy “reels” and “trends” of today.

In the world of Hindi film music, we often talk about the “Golden Era” as if it were a closed chapter. But every so often, an artist emerges who reminds us that the spirit of that era—the focus on baat (the word) and ehsaas (the feeling)—is very much alive.

Today’s song is a viral miracle. It’s titled “Chor“, released in early 2024 by an independent artist who goes by the name Justh. This song is by the artist whose journey is as unconventional as his name. Justh (who keeps his legal name private, asserting that “Justh” is a word he has given meaning to) was once a Chartered Accountant. In interviews, he mentions that he didn’t “shift” careers as much as he finally found the correct vehicle to express his thoughts about the universe. He draws deep inspiration from the honesty of legends like Rabindranath Tagore, aiming for an art that is “truthful” rather than just “impressive.”
