Hullo Atuldom

“Duplicate” (release date 8/5/1998) was a movie that we went to see as a family because it had Shahrukh Khan in the lead. Those were times when we used to pick-and-choose movies which had decent or fun songs and some actor of our liking and we could take the children along. Thus we ended up seeing this ‘not-so-great’ story-wise film which was produced by Yash Johar and directed by Mahesh Bhatt. It had music by Anu Malik and lyrics were by Javed Akhtar. Alka Yagnik, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Kumar Sanu, Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Udit Narayan and Shankar Mahadevan were the singers used. This was one of the cassette tapes that I had purchased as the kids loved its songs. Personally speaking, I enjoyed the movie as it was inane, illogical and simply masaledaar Bollywood stuff. The kind which helps us to forget ourselves during the duration of its screening.

Yearwise discussion of Lata Mangeshkar songs in HFM: Part VI: Year 1952
———————————————————————————————————

I had mentioned that Lata Mangeshkar reached the peak of her HFM singing career in 1951 (statistically that is) in the sense that she sang as many as 223 songs in movies released in 1951. She would never be able to exceed this tally in future, though she came close to this figure in future years on a few occasions.

I have mentioned in one of my earlier post here that these days I am looking for movies where only one song has been posted so far. In my daily browsing of the blog while I have already noted some movies, new surprises keep coming e.g. the time-lag between posting of the first song of the movie and thereafter posting of the second song. While we can understand a couple of year time-lag is considerable some have to wait for their second song almost more than five to six years or even ten years as we have seen during posting of ‘blog ten-year challenge song’. Well, if that was not enough, I have found a movie with a song posted in 2008 and still waiting for its second song to be posted on the blog. 😊

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 90
———————————————————————————–

The blog was maintaining a high daily strike rate of nearly 6 songs daily during september 2010, which got reduced to a daily rate of 3 songs per day from October 2010 onwards. This rate was sustained in November 2010 as well.

This date ten years ago (viz 1 November 2010) saw three songs getting discussed. Here are the details:-

Song Movie title-Year Remarks
Kal raat zindagi se mulaaqaat ho gayi Paalki-1967 All songs covered
Sainyya chhod de bainyya Rakhi-1962 All songs covered
Badal rahi hai zameen badal rahaa hai aasmaan Fashionable Wife-1959 02 of 10 songs posted

We can see that only one out of the three movies from the above list can be taken up for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (1 November 2020). This movie, namely “Fashionable Wife”(1959) was produced and directed by B K Adarsh for Adarshlok, Bombay. The movie had Jaymala, Abhi Bhattacharya, Anoop Kumar, Daisy Irani, Nazir Husein, Manorama, Leela Misra, Achla Sachdev, Mirza Musharraf, Iftekhar, Anand Joshi, Vijay Kaul, Mastana Azad, Murlidhar, R.S.Dubey, Nitoo, Jagdish Shrivastava, B.R.Wadia, Radhakishan etc in it.
