#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Basu Chatterjee-R.D. Burman)
————————————
In this post I am presenting a song from the ‘1979’ movie ‘Ratnadeep’.
I have no recollection of this movie during my growing up years. I was about eleven years old when this movie was released.
This state of oblivion about the movie and its songs continued for many more years. The song ‘kabhi kabhi sapnaa lagtaa hai’ was an exception that I may have inadvertently listened to without knowing about its details. Later, I discovered that there was another song of this movie that I was aware of (while being unaware that the song was from this movie).
(But I am not presenting that song today 🙂 ).
‘Ratnadeep-1979’ was directed by Basu Chatterjee for ‘Gayatri Movies, Bombay’. It was produced by R. Kannan and R. Jagannath.
This movie has Hema Malini, Girish Karnad, Dheeraj, A.K. Hangal, Sulochana, Prema Narayan, Nandita Thakur, Yunus Parvez, Pinchoo Kapoor, Master Sagar, Poornima Jairam, R.S. Chopra, Gautam Sareen, Amal Sen, Aroop, Manmauji, Ranjeet Sood, Chandu, Vishnu Sharma, Mohammad Ali, Khoka Mukherjee, Kashinath and others.
Basu Chatterjee who was director of this movie also wrote the screenplay and dialogues of this movie.
This movie was based on short story by Prabhat Kumar Mukhopadhyay.
“Ratnadeep-1979” was passed by Censor Board on 12.12.1979.
Going by the filmography of director Basu Chatterjee I have noted that as many as five movies directed by him were released in the year ‘1979’. This must be the highest number of movies directed by Basu Chatterjee and released in one calendar year.
Here are the names of these movies.
| SNo | Title of the movie | Passed by Censor Board | Lyricist/s | Music Director |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Baaton Baaton Mein | 31.03.1979 | Amit Khanna, Yogesh | Rajesh Roshan |
| 02 | Jeena Yahaan | 16.07.1979 | Yogesh | Salil Chaudhary |
| 03 | Manzil | 14.05.1979 | Yogesh | R.D. Burman |
| 04 | Prem Vivaah | 30.08.1979 | Anand Bakshi | Laxmikant-Pyarelal |
| 05 | Ratnadeep | 12.12.1979 | Gulzar | R.D. Burman |
The movies he produced and directed or the movies he directed always had good music too if not great. This year 1979 was no exception.
Basu Chatterjee collaborated with many music directors but mostly with music director Rajesh Roshan.
In the year ‘1979’ for the five movies he directed he had two movies with R.D. Burman, and one each with Rajesh Roshan, Salil Chaudhary and Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
R.D. Burman composed music for ‘Manzil’ and ‘Ratnadeep’ directed by Basu Chatterjee and released in the year ‘1979’.
Lyrics for the movie ‘Manzil’ were penned by Yogesh and lyrics for the songs of ‘Ratnadeep’ were penned by Gulzar.
Both the movies have some great songs including the most liked and loved by all ‘rimjhim girey saawan’ from ‘Manzil’.
However, none of the songs from both the above movies made it to the ‘annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala’ of that year i.e. 1979’. There were as many as ‘eleven’ songs composed by Pancham which featured in this list of thirty-nine songs. These included songs from ‘Shalimaar-1978’, ‘Jurmaana-1979’, ‘The Great Gambler-1979’, ‘Devtaa-1978’, ‘Azaad-1978’ and ‘Golmaal-1979’. That is how tough the competition was. Only one song composed by R.D. Burman featured in the ‘Top-10’ of this list of ‘annual Binaca-Geetmala’ list of ‘1979’. This song was ‘ham bewafaa hargeez naa thhe’ from ‘Shalimaar-1978’.
Today I am presenting a ‘lesser-heard’ or may be ‘never heard song by many’ from the movie ‘Ratnadeep-1979’.
According to me this song deserves to be a ‘well-known’ song for the ‘special folk touch’ of the composition, the singing of this song by the ‘singers’ and its’ lyrics by none other than Gulzar Saab.
I have not watched this movie so can’t say much about the picturisation of this song. Also the video of this song is not available as of now.
Let us now enjoy the second song from ‘Ratnadeep-1979’ which is sung by Bhupinder Singh and Sapan Chakravarty.
Enjoy the music; enjoy the composition which is celebrating the arrival of the beloved of the girl …
This song grows upon us as we listen to it a few times.

Avinash Ji,
Congrats on your 800 th post. You are one of the regular contributors to the blog. Your posts quite often introduce rare and unheard songs ( unheard by me and by, possibly, some more readers/visitors of the blog).
It was quite surprising to me that such an iconic song as “Rimjhim gire sawan..” was not on the annual list of Binaca hit parade ( Suchchi ?).
(reminds me of ‘Bandar kya Jaane adarak ka swad.’- May not be appropriate comment, though )
Keep up the enthusiasm and spirit of the blog. Regards.

Avinash ji,
Wanted to congratulate you on this special milestone, but got busy later. Suddenly remembered today.
Congratulations and best wishes. May you continue to be prolific and regular.
5 movies a year must be the highest by any director and not only for Basu C.
