Blog 10-Year Challenge (2012-2022) – Song No. 82
————————————————————————————–

This date ten years ago (viz 20 August 2012) saw six songs from six different movies getting covered in the blog.

Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
6483 Eid milo eid Najma (1943) Movie YIPPEED by now
6484 Eid aayi hai aayi hai eid aayi hai Rashid Dulhan (UR) (1950) Number of songs unknown in this unreleased movie
6485 Bholenath se niraala Gaurinath se niraala Har Har Mahadev(1950) 6 songs covered out of 10
6486 Tum chal rahe ho ham chal rahe hain Duniyaa Na Maane(1959) Movie YIPPEED by now
6487 Aankhon mein rang kyun aaya Ek Phool Chaar Kaante (1960) Movie YIPPEED by now
6488 Arziyaan saari main maathe pe likh ke laaya hoon Delhi 6 (2009) 3 songs covered out of 10 by now

It can be observed that three movies (out of six) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago have since been YIPPEEE’D. That leaves us with three movies not yet YIPPEEE’D. One of these movies was an unreleased movie and total number of songs in this movie are not known.

Today’s song is from a ‘C’ grade stunt film Al Hilal aka The judgement of Allah- 1958.

Those readers who keep a track of old films may remember that way back in 1935, Sagar Movietone had produced a film of the same name Al Hilal. It was the first film of Mehboob Khan as a Director and the film had Kumar and Sitara Devi as the lead pair. That film was quite successful and even Baburao Patel of Film India magazine had praised not only the film but also hailed Mehboob Khan as a Diamond for Future.

Today 16th August 2022 is the sixty-eighth birthday of yesteryears’ singer Hemlata. She was born on 16th August, 1954.

I had earlier presented a detailed write-up about Hemlata and her songs those I cherished and the songs those have been permanently embedded in my memory since childhood and in the later growing years of my life journey thereafter. Readers can read this post. I am not going to repeat what I had said in my earlier post.

Today on the occasion of birth anniversary of Hemlata I am presenting a song sung by her from a lesser-known or may be rather an obscure movie ‘Jhoom Uthha Aakaash’ (1973).

75 years. A passage of history that belongs to us. And we belong to it. Most of us have our conscious memories completely inside of this phase. There are those who have seen the phase prior to this. And may God Almighty give them, and all of us, good health and long years, to share and to love.

Greetings to all the readers of the Blog on the occasion of आजादी का अमृत महोत्सव on the 75th Year of Independence of India today, August 15, 2022. Independence Day is the reminder to all of us about the sacrifices a large number of Indians made during the freedom struggle to achieve independence on August 15, 1947. Thanks to the history books, the present generation is aware of the sacrifices for the independence struggle, made by Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Lala Lajpat Rai, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Bipin Chandra Pal, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad and many more. But lets us not forget to remember hundreds of other freedom fighters whose sacrifices, by and large, remained in anonymity. One such name which I came to know recently was that of Vidyadhari Bai, a tawaif (courtesan) who, apart from composing and singing patriotic songs in her musical performances, she also provided financial and logistic support to freedom fighters.
