(Birthday – Music Composer-Rajesh Roshan)

Today 24th May 2025 is the seventieth birthday of music director-lyricist Rajesh Roshan(born on 24.05.1955). His music composed for Hindi movies is part of growing years of people like me who were born in late sixties or early seventies. Many of his compositions have been pure nostalgia for me and same might be the case for many people like me. Rajesh Roshan has carved a niche for himself in the history of Hindi Film Music. There is a long list of his compositions that I like very much, and as and when possible I have also shared such songs on this blog.

Today’s song is from a film which makes its Debut on this Blog – Chingari-1940.

There were two more films called ‘Chingari’ – in 1955 and 1971 and both are represented here with many songs. I wonder how the first film Chingari-1940 missed the bus ? This set my mind to do some statistical work.

In this article, I have picked up for discussion Gautam Ghosh’s film, ‘Yaatra’ (2007) which comes under the ambit of the parallel cinema. The meaning of the film’s title in the context of the story is ‘transition journey’. This is a complicated film. The audience is likely to get confused as to how much of the story in a novel narrated by the protogonist is real and fictional when he narrates the story to a fellow traveller, an upcoming film-maker. Some parts of the story are autobiographical in nature while some are creative imaginations and thus fictional in nature. The transition from fiction to fact in the novel is so blurred that the upcoming film-maker gets confused. In the end, the film-maker decides to give his own perspective of the story in his screenplay when he decides to make the film based on the novel.
