Hullo Atuldom

4th August is very important for lovers of Hindi film music. It is the birth anniversary of Kishore Kumar who was fondly addressed as Kishore da. His birth name was Abhas Kumar Ganguly. He was the youngest among his siblings Kumud Lal Ganguly a.k.a. Ashok Kumar and Kalyan Kumar Ganguly a.k.a Anoop Kumar, being the older brothers. His sister was married to Shashadhar Mukherjee, co-founder of Filmistan Studio and later Filmalaya Studio. Kishore da’s wives (he had married four times) were Ruma Ghosh, Madhubala, Yogeeta Bali and Leena Chandavarkar who were all actresses. His son Amit Kumar is also a singer, actor & composer. As the saying goes “like father like son” or “walking in his father’s footsteps”. All this I am mentioning to show that Kishore Da was part of a family that has been in the entertainment industry from the 1930s (when Ashok Kumar began his career in the industry.)

Anyone who is a fan of Kishore Kumar, knows him as a multi-faceted personality. The Hindi expression for this is harfan maula I think. He was a musician – meaning singer first and foremost, who went on to become a music composer and also a song writer. It is said that he first appeared in the film ‘Shikari’ in 1946, before his first song was heard in any film. His first film song came in the movie ‘Ziddi’ (1948) under the music direction of Khemchand Prakash. There is a video on YouTube where we can hear Kishore da mention about a song in ‘Aath Din’ (a.k.a. ‘Eight Days) (1946). We can hear about that song here.

As Hindi film music lovers we are all fans of one or other singer – Mohd. Rafi, Mukesh, Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, etc. and all the singers who followed in the footsteps of these yesteryear singers. Similarly, all of these singers were also fans of one or other of their predecessors. All these singers – here I am talking of the singers who made their debut in the late 1940s, whose fans we are, were definitely inspired by KL Saigal. Even Kishore da was a huge fan of Saigal Saab and used to sing (almost) like him. Plus, he was an admirer of Hollywood actor-singer Danny Kayne & respected Rabindranath Tagore.

Kishore Kumar turned a film maker with ‘Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi’ in 1958 (officially the movie was said to have been produced by Kishore da’s secretary Anoop Sharma) and followed it up with entertainers ‘Jhumroo’, ‘Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein’, ‘Door ka Rahi etc. In all he is said to have been a complete package as he was a producer, story writer, director, actor, music director and above all a great singer who may not have been formally trained in singing but could do justice to a raga-based “Mere Naina Saawan Bhaadon” as much as a “Aa Ke Seedhi Lagi Jaise Dil Pe Katariya“. His fans love him for “Dukhi Mann Mere” and “Eena Meena Deeka“. Don’t know what more to write about this singer, which has not been already written

Over the last few years, whenever I write a post for one of our favourite singers I look for the songs that our singers are said to have sung in other Indian languages, specifically in the South Indian languages. I have heard and relished Asha Bhonsle and Lata Mangeshkar’s songs in Tamil films, as also Lata Didi’s song in Malayalam. Additionally, I have discovered that some Hindi songs have been reused in Malayalam movies. That means there are songs eligible for Sudhirj i’s ‘Songs used in more than one film’ series.

Where the songs sung by our male singers are concerned I have heard songs rendered by Talat Mehmood (one) & Manna Dey (two) in Malayalam films ‘Dweepu’, ‘Chemeen’, and ‘Nellu’; all the three songs were in Malayalam. When I looked for songs by Mohd. Rafi Saab, in Malayalam movies, I landed on the song “Jaadu Hai Meetha Meetha Jaana Meri Baaton Mein“.

Similarly, when I read that Kishore Kumar has sung in Malayalam movies I looked up that song. It was in a movie called ‘Ayodhya’ which released on 15-08-1975 (same date as ‘Sholay’!). That was a movie directed by PN Sundaram, produced by Pavamani, had story-screenplay-dialogue by Thoppil Bhasi, lyrics by P Bhaskaran and G Devarajan was the music director. That means the whole crew comprised of stalwarts & legends of the Malayalam industry. The star-cast was also loaded with popular actors Prem Nazir, KR Vijaya, Adoor Bhasi, Bahadur, Shankaradi, Shreelatha etc. The playback singer brigade had KJ Yesudas, P Madhuri, LR Easwari, Latha, LR Anjali, Jayachandran, and Kishore Kumar. This is all the information I have about the film ‘Ayodhya’. Here is that song if anyone wants to hear it – “Come On I Will Teach You A B C D“.

For today’s post I was looking for a song from the 1980s that I may have missed at the time of its release. It is from the 1986 released ‘Angaaray’. It was produced by Gurdip Singh, directed by Rajesh Sethi, had story, screenplay & dialogues by Salim Khan. The star cast is Raj Babbar, Smita Patil, Shakti Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, Bindu, Pradeep Kumar, Iftekhar, Dina Pathak, Satyen Kappu. Rajesh Khanna has a special appearance in this film. Anu Malik is the music director and the songs are written by Rajendra Krishan. This film has one song by Kishore da which was lip synced by Raj Babbar.

Let us have that song today on Kishore da’s 94th birth anniversary. A day which began (for me at least) with an hour and half of gems of this favorite of mine on Radio Ceylon, followed by seeing the climax of ‘Half Ticket’ (1962). A great start to the day I must say.

Thank You Kishore da for leaving us with a lot of gems.

hmmm hmmmm hmmmmm hmmmm
hmmmm hmmmmm hmmmm hmmm

pyaar kehte hain jise bas
wo tumhaara naam hai

duniya se mujhe kya kaam hai
hmmm hmmmm hmmmmm hmmmm
hmmmm hmmmmm hmmmm hmmm
pyaar kehte hain jise bas

maine chaaha tujhe bas
mujhko itna yaad hai
maine chaaha tujhe bas
mujhko itna yaad hai
aur un yaadon se ab tak
dil mera abaad hai
phool ko maslaa kisi ne
phool ko maslaa kisi ne
phool kyon badnaam hai
pyaar kehte hain jise bas
wo tumhaara naam hai
tum ho meri jaan
duniya se mujhe kya kaam hai

tum jahaan bhi ho hamesha
mere dil ke paas ho
tum jahaan bhi ho hamesha
mere dil ke paas ho
aaj bhi aur kal bhi meri
zindagi ki aas ho
tujhpe jo ungli uthegi
tujhpe jo ungli uthegi
mujhpe wo ilzaam hai
pyaar kehte hain jise bas
wo tumhaara naam hai
tum ho meri jaan
duniya se mujhe kya kaam hai

pyaar kehte hain jise bas
wo tumhaara naam hai
tum ho meri jaan
duniya se mujhe kya kaam hai

hmmm hmmmm hmmmmm hmmmm
hmmmm hmmmmm hmmmm hmmm

हम्म हम्ममम हम्मममम हम्ममम
हम्ममम हम्ममम हम्मममम हम्म
हम्मम हम्मम
हम्मम हम्मम
हम्मम हम्मम

प्यार कहते हैं जिसे बस
वो तुम्हारा नाम है
तुम हो मेरी जान
दुनिया से मुझे क्या काम है
हम्ममम हम्ममम हम्मममम हम्म
हम्ममम हम्ममम हम्मममम हम्म
प्यार कहते हैं जिसे बस

तुम हो मेरी जान
दुनिया से मुझे क्या काम है

मैंने चाहा तुझे बस
मुझको इतना याद है
मैंने चाहा तुझे बस
मुझको इतना याद है
और उन यादों से अब तक
दिल मेरा आबाद है
फूल को मसला किसी ने
फूल को मसला किसी ने
फूल क्यों बदनाम है
प्यार कहते हैं जिसे बस
वो तुम्हारा नाम है
तुम हो मेरी जान
दुनिया से मुझे क्या काम है

तुम जहां भी हो हमेशा
मेरे दिल के पास हो
तुम जहां भी हो हमेशा
मेरे दिल के पास हो
आज भी और कल भी मेरी
ज़िंदगी की आस हो
तुझपे जो उंगली उठेगी
तुझपे जो उंगली उठेगी
मुझपे वो इल्ज़ाम है
प्यार कहते हैं जिसे बस
वो तुम्हारा नाम है
तुम हो मेरी जान
दुनिया से मुझे क्या काम है

प्यार कहते हैं जिसे बस
वो तुम्हारा नाम है
तुम हो मेरी जान
दुनिया से मुझे क्या काम है

हम्ममम हम्ममम हम्मममम हम्म
हम्ममम हम्ममम हम्मममम हम्म

Nice post Peevesie’s Mom ji. Nice song too. I think I have watched this movie, but do not remember it now.
The song in this post is a nice song to listen to and I listened to it two times in first attempt. Lyrics are good and so is the composition.
Thanks for this post and this song.
Our tributes to the legendary Kishore Kumar Khandwewala 🙂
Regards,
