#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
———————————————————————

The song in this post is a song from a recent movie by the standards of this blog. It is from the year ‘1981’ and the title of the movie it is ‘Sant Gyaaneshwar’. I doubt how many of us remember that there was a movie with this title in the year 1981. As for me, I have never heard or read about this movie of 1981. On the other hand it is the movie ‘Sant Gyaaneshwar’ of 1964 that I am aware of from my childhood days. I remember this movie title because of its memorable songs. My guess is that this movie 1981 with the same title ended up becoming a forgotten movie immediately after its release. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 03.03.1981.

Today’s song is from an obscure film Deep Jalta Rahe-1959.

I said ‘obscure film’ because no one remembers this film today. Actually this film was made by a well known banner like Filmistan, it was directed by a skilled director like Datta Dharmadhikari, music was by Roshan and the cast too had good actors. Still, the film remained a flop at the Box office. The reason was its story. The mid 50’s onwards the period was when the people looked at the films as entertainment with lilting music. This film had neither of these. Perhaps the makers forgot that films with a tragic end, separation of lovers and a weak story by current standards was not accepted by the audience.

Continuing our series on some rarely heard songs of Asha Bhosle, we come to this beauty from Gehri Chaal 1973. About eight years ago, Peevsie’s Mom Ji, a regular contributor to the blog had introduced this movie with a very popular song “Jaipur ki choli mangwa de re sainyya.”

Now, I get a chance to introduce a solo by Asha Bhosle – Maara, Wade Ne Tere – which is penned by Rajinder Krishan and composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal.

Today’s song is the last song from the film ” Maha Pooja”-1954 to be covered here and thus making the film YIPPEED !

In the last 8 songs of this film, a lot of related matters, including its story, has been discussed. The film is about the well known story of The Satyanarayan Katha, its importance and how performing this Pooja can benefit the person doing it. This Pooja is perhaps one of the several common religious and cultural events performed in most parts of India. It is believed that it benefits not only the performer but also those who are present at the Pooja time and consume the Prasad. That is an invitation to attend a Satyanarayan Pooja is generally honoured by everyone.
