Mention of the name Mohammed Shafi brings to mind some timeless and peerless classics. The immortal lorie song “Koi Pukare Dhire Se Tujhe” from ‘Mangu’ (1954), is a composition that is difficult to forget.
Remembering music director Mohammed Shafi on the anniversary of his passing away today (30 April).

The Wonderful Sounds of 1930s – 6
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Listening to songs like this one, there are mixed feelings in the heart. There is a pleasant joyous feeling that such wonderful sounds from almost eight decades ago, are available and we can hear and enjoy them. There is also a regretful irritation, almost bordering on frustration as to why more such songs are not available. Why is it that all one can search and explore, and just one song is available from this film, and from many others. And for many more, even one song is not traceable.

Vintage Shamshad Begam

Song-1 Shamshad Begam and Motilal

I started seeing films since my early childhood in the late 40s. I was lucky enough to see many films of the 30’s too, in their second or third runs. By the mid 50s, the films from the 30s were gone but almost all films of the 40s were still available.
English, Hindi, Marathi, Telugu or Kannada- language was no bar as far as watching movies of these languages was concerned . Those were the days when 78 RPM records used to be played by Hotels on gramophone. This helped me to hear the latest songs. In the 1960s Posh hotels had Juke Box. Soon it became common and Juke Boxes were seen everywhere. You needed just a coin of 4 Annas to listen to your desired song on it. Usually 4 songs in a row were lined up and they could all be listed to by putting 4 coins in it.

Today, the 27th of April, is the death anniversary of Feroz Khan.
It feels like only the other day that Feroz passed away – the memory (and shock) of that day is still fresh in my mind. But, when I checked the year just now, I see it was in 2009. So it’s already 6 years since Feroz left us. How time flies!

Amitabh – The Later Decades – 4
—————————————————–
Almost ‘Lolita’, but not quite so. In the book, the young nympho is only 12 years old, and the old man is actually a pedophile. In this Hindi film take off, the young girl is 18, and the old man is not a pervert, but is actually in love. And for all that matters, for all the time it matters, it is a two way love between the girl and the old man.
Around the time this film was relased, a joke was doing the rounds. Q: What is the height of good luck? A: Amitabh in ‘Nishabd’.

Bombay Gangout – Part 5
The Day After.
The next day to the gangout meeting, we had plans for a visit to our dear Arun ji. As the readers may be aware, Arun ji had not attended the gangout meeting. The personal family circumstances in the recent past, had been exigent to the extreme. His life partner had passed away just 10 days prior to the scheduled meeting. We had decided to go ahead with the meeting, sans his participation.

As we all know, there are thousands of songs out there and they can all be classified in many different ways. Here on the blog, Atul himself has categorized songs into several categories, depending on mood (sad/happy), or content (birthday/Diwali), or style (qawwali/disco) or even musical instrument (guitar/harmonium). And many other ways.
Apart from all these, there is one category that we don’t have but I think all of us will agree could be a fun category. That is “songs that if I hadn’t heard in my childhood or seen the movie, I don’t think I would ever have heard in my life”. 🙂

Remembering Shamshad Begum on the second anniversary of her passing away (23rd April 2013). Born in Lahore on 14th April 1919, Shamshad Begum had an inclination towards singing right from her school days. Her school principal impressed with her singing, made her sing the classroom prayers, something which Naushad captilised elegantly in ‘Dard’ (1947) for a group song.

The film ‘Jwala’ was started sometimes in the second half of 1950s. It was finally released in 1970, a year after the passing away of Madhubala. As with some of her last films, this film also has deficient and compromised editing, and possible use of a double in some scenes, just to try and complete the storyline. But forever, this will be known as her last released film.
