In this post I am presenting a song from an obscure movie from the year of 1975. Obscure because I could neither find any videos from this movie on internet nor any information about it. The title of this movie is ‘Samasya’. It was passed by the censor board on 29.11.1975. Geet Kosh V (1971-1980) mentions this movie as belonging to the genre of ‘social movies’. It was directed by Dayabhai Bhakt for ‘Akik Chitra, Bombay’. The cast of this movie had Madhuchhanda, Pawan Dutt, Chitra Sundaram, Atam Prakash, Sunil Dhawan, D.S. Mehta, Rakesh Jaimani, Vikas Bali, Pratibha Matkari, Anjali Devi and others. Sajjan, Jagirdar, Pallavi Mehta and Damodar Shah had made special appearances in this movie.

In my last article on the Blog, I had discussed the film, ‘Birbal My Brother’ (1973) with a Hindustani classical bandish, ‘rang raliyaan karat sautan ke sang’, rendered by Pandit Bhimsen Joshi and Pandit Jasraj as jugalbandi in Raag Malkauns. In this article, I am presenting the same bandish rendered in Raag Malkauns by Asha Bhosle as a ‘filmy song’ without much of ornamentations. This one was from the film, ‘Khwaahish’ (2003) which was produced by Vivek Nayak under the banner of Perry Pictures and was directed by the debutant Govind Menon. The cast included Himanshu Malik, Mallika Sherawat, Shivaji Satam, Amrita Sathbai, Shahbaz Khan, Mahamud Babai etc. This was Mallika Sherawat’s first film in a lead role. The film was based on an English novel, ‘Love Story’ (1970) by Eric Segal, customised to the Indian setting.

Today’s song is yet another song from the year 1975. This is from the movie ‘Uljhan-1975’. I had never watched this movie till recently, when I watched it on a video sharing platform. This movie is a nice movie to watch, and all the actors/actresses have performed their roles well. This film keeps one engaged till the end even though we already know who-killed-who in the very beginning of the movie. This movie ranked at number thirteenth (13th) among the top Hindi movies of 1975 at the box office.

Today’s song is from a less known Mythological film Gaj Gauri-1958.
The film was made by Prabhat Chitra, Bombay. This is not the famous Prabhat Film Company of Poona (Sama Name Confusion even in Film Company names ?), which was auctioned in 1952 and then formally closed on 13-10-1953. Their last film was Aparadhi-1949.

#Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1975-1)
——————————————————–
The song in this post is from the movie ‘Dafaa 302-1975’. This movie is so far missing from the blog and today we are adding it to the tally of the movies on the blog.
Regulars on the blog would be aware that as this decade 2021-2030 began, we began to celebrate completion of Fifty Years of the decade 1971-1980. So every year of this decade we take up the missing movies of the year that was there fifty years back. We are in 2025 nowadays so we are covering missing films of 1975 these days.The year 1975 was a memorable year for the Hindi film industry and is remembered for some milestone movies of Hindi cinema like ‘Sholay’, ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’, ‘Deewaar’ etc. Movies like ‘Geet Gaataa Chal’, ‘Julie’, ‘Mausam’, ‘Chhotisi Baat’, ‘Rafoo Chakkar’, ‘Sanyaasi’, and ‘Pratigyaa’ were the other top successful movies of that year.

Today’s song is from the film Ratnadeep-1952. This is the last song of this film, thus making the film YIPPEED !
In the last 7 songs (today’s song is the 8th song) of this film, almost every aspect of the film, songs and the artists working in it have been discussed. Today we will discuss something which is close to my heart, from this film. Today’s song is sung by one of my favourite singers of Hindi Cinema – GEETA DUTT. Some of our readers must be knowing that there is a site called http://www.geetadutt.com, run by some of her ardent admirers. A few years ago, on their request, I had written an article on Geeta Dutt, on her Death Anniversary, for their site.

The song in this post is from the movie ‘Rickshaawaalaa-1973’. I have no recollections of having watched this movie earlier. However, since the music of this film is composed by none other than Rahul Dev Burman, I wish to take up the songs from this movie. So far two songs from this movie have already been posted on the blog. The music of this film is very good. But I think it was forgotten easily as the movie itself was not a successful movie of its time. This movie was a remake of a successful Tamil movie “Rickshawkaran”, which starred the superstar of Tamil Cinema M G Ramachandran. The Tamil movie was released on 29 May 1971, and It was a major commercial success, however its remake in Hindi could not achieve the same success and it turned out to be a disaster.

Today’s song is the last song from the film Taqdeer-1943. With this song, the film gets YIPPEED !
Taqdeer-1943 was specially made for facilitating the Debut of Baby Rani aka Baby Fatima aka Nargis, the only daughter of Singer, actress, Director, Producer and Music Director of early Talkie films – Jaddan Bai. Father of Nargis was a Hindu converted to Islam and from being a Muslim, Nargis got converted to Hinduism before her marriage to Sunil Dutt, with a brand new name “Nirmala Dutt”. Thus a circle was completed from her Nani Daleepabai, who hailed from a Brahmin family to Nirmala Dutt – wife of Sunil Dutt, a Mohyal Brahmin (a sub caste of Saraswat Brahmins). It is said that before marrying Mohan Babu (father of Nargis) Jaddan bai also had changed her name to Jaya Devi Tyagi. However due to Muslim community pressure Mohan Babu had to convert to Islam and become Abdul Rashid.
