Hullo Atuldom

‘Phir Janam Lenge Hum’ (‘PJLH’ – 1977)} was the directorial debut of Mehul Kumar, who later went on to make films like ‘Tiranga’, ‘Krantiveer’, ‘Kohram’, ‘Mrityudaata’ etc. in the 1990s. (He may have made more, but I am aware of these).

#Singer Mohd Rafi’s Remembrance Day 31st July’2024#

In this post I am presenting a Rafi song from the movie ‘Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thhi’ (1970). This song is picturised on actor Jagdeep. Music lovers are well aware that there are many well-known songs sung by Rafi Sb for actor Jagdeep. Some prominent songs among them that I vividly remember are “Chali Chali Re Patang Meri Chali Re“, “Hum Panchhi Ek Daal Ke“, and “Paas Baithho Tabeeyat Bahal Jaayegi” and many others. In the later years i.e. from the year 1980 Rafi Sb lent his voice to actor Jagdeep in the movie ‘Phir Wohi Raat’ for the song “Aa Gaye Yaaro Jeene Ke Din” which I had presented on this blog earlier. There is long list of Rafi songs for Jagdeep and we will try to discuss the total list here in future posts on the blog.

Commemorating 100 years of Rafi – 44th Death anniversary on 31st July, 2024.

basti basti parbat parbat
gaata jaaye banjaaraa aa
le kar dil ka ek taaraa aa

There are iconic songs in the Hindi film songs, and then there is this song (film ‘Railway Platform’ – 1955). Really. For my generation of Hindi film music fans, this is the iconic one. Like one comment in the blog post says “Vividh Bharati song, Is geet ko koi bhi sachcha listner kaise bhool sakta hai….ek ek shabd, ek ek piece sangeet ka, dil, aur dimaag ke andar record kiya hua hai. Mujhe yaad hai aise bahut log hain JINHONE apni zindagi men PEHLA Hindi geet YE GEET suna, aur Hindi geeton ke deewaane ho gaye. AAJ TAK WOH DEEWANE HAIN.”

Today’s song is from the film ‘Ghar ki Izzat'(1948).

India got Independence in 1947 and there was a huge exchange of people between India and the newly created religion based Pakistan. This affected the film industry in India extensively as the majority of Muslim artistes from all the departments of film making lined up for migration. As soon as the final announcement of Partition was made and the date of Independence was announced, the film industry worked extra time to finish the projects on hand before the migration, causing damage to the quality of films made in 1947 in the latter half. Though this resulted in creating a record number of films made in 1947 (181 in Hindi and 100 in other languages), most films could get a release only in 1948.

Daamad (1978) remains to this day, a comedy movie which I place on par with Padosan (1968), Half Ticket (1964), Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958), Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2000), etc. The comic timing shown by all the characters, specifically Amol Palekar and Ashok Saraf, is simply brilliant.

Daamad starred Amol Palekar, Ranjeeta, Ashok Saraf, Shreeram Lagoo, Keshto Mukherjee, Preeti Ganguli, etc

Today’s song is from the film Ghungroo-1952. The film was made by Filmkaar Ltd., Bombay. It was directed by Hiren Bose and the music was by C.Ramchandra. The cast of the film consisted of Omprakash, Sumitra Devi, Kuldeep kaur, K.N.Singh, Badri prashad and others.

During the early phase to the Golden era of Hindi film music, the atmosphere in the industry was very cordial. Everyone had the opportunity to grow in his field and there were no ill feelings either on religious basis or success/failure basis. In such a healthy atmosphere, few friendships between actors, directors, MDs and even producers grew deep. Some of them were ideal and people in the industry used to quote their friendship in their gatherings. Here are some examples….

The song in this post is from the movie ‘Chaachaa Bhateejaa’ which was released in the year ‘1977’.

If one goes through the ‘list of movies’ released during this year i.e. 1977, one can notice that this was one among the ‘best years’ for Hindi Films. We can see diverse subjects on which movies were based though the central theme of most of the movies revolved around ‘formula movies and entertainment’.
