Hullo Atuldom

“Mahaan” (1983) was a film that released in my teenage years & released in the summer holidays of 1983. I have seen it then & a number of times after that. It was produced by Satyanarayana & A. Suryanarayana; directed by S. Ramanathan. Anjaan wrote the songs which were tuned by R.D. Burman. Waheeda Rehman, Amitabh Bachchan, Amjad Khan, Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi, Shakti Kapoor, Ashok Kumar, Mac Mohan, Urmila Bhatt, Mukri, Nandita Thakur, Aruna Irani, Sujit Kumar etc. etc. & Kadar Khan were the actors/ stars in the film. The film was the official remake of the Kannada film ‘Shankar Guru’ (1978).

The film was the story of a lawyer (father Amitabh) who has an artist/ painter wife (Waheeda Rehman). He has a friend (Amjad Khan) who is sent to jail for possession of drugs by the lawyer with the intention that the friend will get reformed. The friend comes out with revenge in mind, kills his business associate (Sujit Kumar) & frames the lawyer. This forces the lawyer to run to escape arrest, but in the process he is separated from his wife who is pregnant at the time. She gives birth to twins but isn’t aware of it i.e. she doesn’t know that one of the twin has been handed over to a lady who has given birth to a still-born for the 3rd time. The boys grow up to be cop & dramatist (Nautanki should be the right word here), fall in love with beautiful girls, land up in Kathmandu. Their roads cross at the palace of their father who has taken refuge there & is the guardian of one of the beauties. The family comes together after all complications are resolved.

The film had seven songs with Jidhar dekhoon teri tasweer nazar aati hai being a multi-version song. Both the versions were in male voices of Kishore Kumar & Amitabh Bachchan. Amit Kumar, Asha Bhonsle & RD Burman were the other playback singers in the film. The following are the songs of the film are on the blog :_

Song Date of post Remarks
Jidhar dekhoon teri tasweer nazar aati hai 22 September 2010 Multiple version song
Aadhi baat ho chuki tu aadhi baat kar le 22 September 2020 (post by Avinashji, part of BTYC)
Har chhori raani yahaan har chhora raaja 11 October 2022

Today we are having the next song on the occasion of the 11th death anniversary of S. Ramanathan. He began as an assistant director in the 1950s and he became a director from 1958. He went on to direct & produce many Kannada films till 1971/72 when he directed his first Hindi film ‘Bombay To Goa’. He went on to make 10 more films in Hindi.

Today’s song is the pre-climax song where the two brothers are dancing around in a Gym owned by Amjad Khan. The family have all reached there, one after the other. I have seen the film a number of times but I can’t remember how the ladies landed there. (need to see the film again). The song is in the voices of Kishore Kumar & Amit Kumar.

Forgot to point out an amusing part in the song, wanted to write it in the post itself
“To start with Kishore Kumar sings for the clean-shaven Amitabh in the second anatara he sings for the mustachioed Amitabh.
Don’t know who got confused when filming the song. The choreographer, director or the stunt director 😊”

Is it something to do with Amitabh Bachchan’s double roles in the film ?.

Or probably got confused with the voice of Amit Kumar as Kishore Kumar?

As it is there were “1/4 dozen” Amitabh Bachchans in the film (1/4 dozen is a term that Amitabh as Guru uses in the climax). I am sure someone in the crew (in charge of continuity) didn’t notice the switching of playback.
But i have a good time whenever I see the song.
And the expressionso the ladies & Shakti Kapoor are priceless

I recall, this type of oversight in switch of playback singers had happened in the song ‘Dukh bhare din beete re bhaiyya’ in ‘Mother India’ (1957) in which Rafi sings for Rajkumar and Manna Dey for Rajendra Kumar. However, in one line of the song, Rafi lip synced for Rajendra Kumar which should have been for Rajkumar.

There was one more of such oversights which I am not able to recall. It was for a song where Manna Dey was lip syncing for Kishore Kumar and one line was lip synced by other playback singer.
