Hullo Atuldom
6th February 2022 followers of Indian music, across the genres of Bhav-geet, Film Sangeet, Bhajans and any other that we can think of, lost the most accomplished, sought after, loved (& any other add-ons that we know of) singer. She went by the name Lata Mangeshkar fondly addressed as Lata Didi by the multitude of her followers. She was the go-to voice (a modern day term for first choice) of all music composers for their debut films – remember ‘ghar aaja ghir aayi’ RD Burman, ‘Parasmani’ & its songs which was the first released film of Laxmi- Pyare. Even Madan Mohan is said to have approached Lata Mangeshkar to sing for his debut film ‘Aankhen’ but could get her into the recording room only for his next ‘ Adaa’ which released in 1951.
“Patita” (1980) was a movie that had music by Bappi Lahiri. He had Lata Mangeshkar sing some melodious songs which are in the “not so easily recalled” category. Songs like ‘baithe baithe aaj aayi mere mann mein’; “sunte sunte yeh meri kahaani” which were filmed on a very young Shoma Anand. The other actors in the film were Mithun Chakravarty, Raj Kiran, Vikram, Seema Deo, Ramesh Deo, Madan Puri, Sulochana etc. The movie was directed by I. V. Sasi who remade it from his own Malayalam film & Mukul Roy was the producer. Anand Bakshi was the lyricist for the film. The film had 5 songs of which 3 were Lata Mangeshkar solos & 2 Kishore Kumar solos. One Of Kishore Kumar solos is already on the blog with a post by Avinashji on 4 August 2018:-
Dil dhhak dhhak karne laga
Here is the next song today to wish the bright eyed, sweet looking Shoma Anand on turning 65 today. She made her debut in 1976 with Pramod Chakravarty’s “Barood” where Rishi Kapoor was her costar. She was a regular in many movies of the 70s, 80s, & 90s; though her run as lead actress was limited she was seen very often as the scheming sister-in-law, daughter-in-law etc. in family-dramas. She was most appreciated for playing BINA MATHUR in Ekta Kapoor’s (first television production) HUM PAANCH; a full-on comedy show.
The song with this post is a song which speaks about the aspirations of a young girl. I recall seeing this film on TV a few years back but cannot recall when the song happens, after she comes in contact with which of the heroes. From the video it looks like Raj Kiran is the trigger for the song but Vikram is also seen keeping an eye on the singer.
Thanking Bappida (whose death anniversary was yesterday) for giving us this Lata Mangeshkar melody.

jal jaaun agan mein aen aen
ud jaaun gagan mein
ud jaaun gagan mein
ud jaaun gagan mein
ud jaaun gagan mein
