I have mentioned it in a previous post that there are two sites that are blatantly copying the contents of this blog for the last several days. I had avoided mentioning these sites by name, hoping that better sense would prevail and I had acted in the manner advised on internet. Under such situations, the advise is to find the hosts of these sites and inform the hosts. I had informed the hosts of these two sites. One host seemed to be responding somewhat but the other host would only respond by sending an automated response everytime I emailed that host.

Bambai se aaya mera dost

There are quite a few good to very good actors who were eclipsed when the Amitabh Bachchan wave hit Bollywood in the 70s. Some tried doing a few solo movies before doing multi star cast movies with AB as the main character. So much so that they didn’t mind being overshadowed by the Bachchan. Who can forget Amar Akbar Anthony (1977)? Manmohan Desai made a movie with the story being about 3 brothers. But people thought that Bachchan’s Anthony was the prominent character. And inspite of being a diehard Bachchan fan I love to see the scenes of AMAR in the movie. Specially the scene in the jail where he questions Robert’s men about who shot the police commissioner (played by Kamal Kapoor). There are other parts in the movie featuring Vinod Khanna (who played Amar) that stand out.

1949, in my opinion, is the pinnacle of Hindi film music. Many a music directors, lyricists and singers, wrote their histories in this year. There has been great music both before and after this singular year. But the numbers and quality of music from this year, simply speaks for itself.

So here is the ‘S’ alphabet song I talked about in my last post on ‘R’ song. It is a Rafi solo with two versions, one happy and one sad, from the movie “Jhuk gayaa aasmaan”. Such a musical blockbuster film starring Rajendra Kumar and Saira Bano. And wherever I was looking for Rafi sahab’s songs in the list with S-J’s music they were all in red. I could not believe my luck when I found that this song was not posted.

Today I am posting the next song by Mukesh, from the year 1949. The film is ‘Lekh’. Given that this film stars the famous pairing of that era – Motilal and Suraiyyaa, I am guessing that this film must have been one of the successes of its time. Maybe so, but today, the name sounds unfamiliar and obscure.
