Today’s duet song is from an obscure film of the mid 50’s – Pensioner-1954.

Having an obscure film in the 50’s is not very common, because in this decade the film industry was taking a new shape and growing very fast. New actors, directors, new themes, new and emerging composers were giving a new hope to the industry. Lilting music and a vast audience encouraged the industry. In such a situation most films had something to offer, hence almost every film was successful. But as is said, success does not come to all just because you are in the group. Films which had nothing to please the audience naturally became flops.

Maqbool Fida Husain (17/09/1915 – 09/06/2011), better known as M F Husain, has been a celebrated painter not only of India but for world over. He has been also called as ‘Picasso of India’. He was the highest paid painter of India. It is said that the great artists have their own muse which motivate them to excel in their chosen form of arts. Madhuri Dixit was Husain’s first among his other Bollywood muses when he got hooked to her film, ‘Ham Aapke Hain Kaun’ (1994). He painted her umpteen times. In ‘Mohabbat’ (1997) in which Madhuri Dixit played the role of an artist, her paintings in the film were actually done by M F Husain.

Hullo Atuldom

“meri awaaz hi pehchaan hai
gar yaad rahe”

So much truth in those words which were part of the lyrics that Gulzar wrote for a song in “Kinaara” (1977). There have been many similar sounding singers but this particular voice had a character of its own. I am speaking of our dear Lata Mangeshkar or Lata didi as she was fondly addressed.

Recently, I came across an audio clip of a song from ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe’ (1998), a film directed by Lekh Tandon. Online resources shows that the film was completed in 1997 but remained unreleased. The audio album of the songs was released in January 1998. I got confused as there was another film in the same title with Mithun Chakraborty and Moon Moon Sen in lead roles which was released in 1989. Things got somewhat cleared when I came across an interview of Milind Gunaji, one of the main actors of the film, which appeared on rediff.com on January 9, 1998. He said that after the completion of about 70 percent of the shooting, Lekh Tandon left the film. However, after some time, he was persuaded to complete the film which he did in December 1997. Still the film did not get released.

Hullo Atuldom

We are all fans of someone or other. We also find that our idols are fans of talents from their growing up years, whom they used to idolize & continue to do so. I can enumerate many examples to show this- {1} Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Shahrukh Khan etc have a huge fan following but, at various occasions they have confessed that seeing Dilip Kumar on-screen is what made them want to be become actors. {2} Dilip Kumar & Dev Anand are said to have been inspired by Ashok Kumar. {4} Waheeda Rehman’s is another case in point – her fangirl moment came when she got to face the camera alongside Dev Anand for ‘C.I.D’ (1956).

Today’s song is from dubbed Tamil film, titled ” Manohar” in Hindi, in 1954.

After the mind boggling and the most unexpected success of the film Chandralekha-1948 from Gemini Studios, owned by S.S.Vasan, the Southern film industry was shaken. They never imagined that the Hindi belt could be tapped for additional business. The southern film stars, who always harboured a hidden desire to gain name, fame and the consequent money from the Hindi belt which occupied almost 75 to 80 % of All India market, also saw their opportunities in this.
