‘Gardish’ (1993) was produced by R Mohan under the banner of Good Knight Films and was directed by Priyadarshan. The cast included Jackie Shroff, Aishwarya (debutant), Dimple Kapadia, Farida Jalal, Amrish Puri, Rakesh Bedi, Mukesh Rishi (debutant), Annu Kapoor, Anant Mahadevan, Tej Sapru, Shagufta Ali etc. The film was a remake of Priyadarshan’s hit Malayalam film, ‘Kireedam’ (1989). The Malayalam title derives from the Sanskrit word, ‘Kireetam’ which means crown. Probably, in Malayalam language, ‘t’ is phonetically pronounced as ‘d’ when it appears in-between a word.

You all must be knowing the songs of Apna Desh (1972). Particularly the song “sun champaa sun taaraa“ was a big hit in that year. It was on the Binaca Geetmala List on no. 17 that year. We all agree that the place on that list does not vouch for the quality of the song but indicates only the populaity of the song.

Today’s song is the last and final song from a Musical- Emotional -Social- Family drama, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa-1972.

I have already completed posts on 40 YIPPEE songs and today’s is the 41st YIPPEE song. This has been a very tough, time consuming and difficult series for me.

The film was made by Satyen Bose Pictures, Bombay. It was produced and directed by one of my favourite directors- Satyen Bose. The film had music by Ganesh (Sharma), the elder brother of Pyarelal from the famous and popular duo- Laxmikant-Pyarelal. The assistant of Ganesh in this film was Gorakh, his younger brother. Lyricist was Majrooh Sultanpuri. The cast of the film was Nazneen, Ruby Chauhan, Alka, Suresh Chatwal, Vishal Anand, Paintal, Jagdeep, Roopesh Kumar, Nana Palshikar, Raj Mehra, Praveen Paul and many others. Ashok Kumar and Sahira were the Guest Artistes.

6th October is the birthdate a very handsome talented actor who could have fallen in the category of “SUPERSTAR” too, if he had not just given it all up to follow his spiritual Guru just as his career was on the upswing. He was an actor who could dance without making the audience feel that he was uncomfortable, I have seen him match steps with HEMA MALINI & Kalpana Iyer in the 1980s. He was introduced into Hindi films in Sunil Dutt’s ‘Man Ka Meet’ in a supporting role in 1968. He played supporting characters to Rajesh Khanna, Shammi Kapoor, Jeetendra, Dharmendra, Manoj Kumar etc. in his initial films. He didn’t flinch from playing characters that had grey or negative traits- he was good in action sequences too.

His first leading role was in Gulzar’s directorial debut ‘Mere Apne’. He experienced stardom & success in the late 1970s and was seen playing solo protagonist in films like ‘Inkaar’, ‘Shaque’ (to name just two, there are many). He held his own in multi-starrers too; that is also a very long list. I would like to mention that he was repeated by al the filmmakers of that time- Feroz Khan, Sunil Dutt, Prakash Mehra, Manmohan Desai, Raj Khosla etc.

We are thinking of Vinod Khanna on what would have been his 80th birthday.

The site seems to defunct at the Moment, but is still full of interesting Information on Pancham’s Career.
