Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 48
1973 had been the year in which many silver/golden jubilee films were released. Some of the major blockbusters were Bobby, Jugnu, Daag, Zanjeer, Yaadon Ki Baraat, Kahani Kismat Ki, Loafer, etc etc.
Dharmendra had 9 releases, whereas Rajesh Khanna had 3 releases, Big B had 3 releases.
And I was in my 7th standard. In this year I started bunking classes regularly to watch a new release and some old movies on repeat runs every week. For me 1973 holds some strong nostalgic memories which makes me happy and sad in that singular moment.
So here’s a rare song from a film released in early 1973. The song, “Kash Pe Kash Lagane De” from Naya Nasha (1973), is sung by Asha Bhosle, written by Anand Bakshi and composed by Sapan Chakraborty.

#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————
Today’s lovely song is in the voice of Suman Kalyanpur and it is from the movie ‘Coffee House-1957’.
‘Coffee House-1957’ was passed by the Censor Board on 26.03.1957. This movie was directed by Hari Walia who was also the producer of this movie, for Neeti Art Productions, Bombay. The cast of this movie had Geeta Bali, Shammi Kapoor, Vijaylakshmi, Chanchal, Jeevan, Kumud Tripathi, Pal Sharma, Rajan Kapoor, Bhagwan, Helen, and others.
It has been mentioned in a previous post on the blog that the prints of this movie were lost. I guess that there is very less information available about this movie and its songs. Obviously no videos of this movie are available.
‘Coffee House-1957’ has eight songs in it. Prem Dhawan penned six songs. Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri wrote one song each. Music for this movie was composed by Roshan.
The singers for this movie are Asha Bhonsle, Geeta Dutt and Suman Kalyanpur which means all the songs in this movie were sung by female singers. Not only that, these songs are all female solo songs. One of these songs has female chorus as well.
The song unde discussion is that song which has female chorus accompanying the main singer viz. Suman Kalyanpur.
This is the only song in this movie in the voice of Suman Kalyanpur. Other songs are sung by Asha Bhonsle (four songs) and Geeta Dutt(three songs).
Three songs from this movie have been covered on the blog so far. Today we are going to listen to the fourth song from this movie ‘Coffee House-1957’. Prem Dhawan is the lyricist and music is composed by Roshan.
Let us now listen to this joyous dance song.

Today’s song is from a Costume film- Jai Bharat-1936.
It was a Wadia Movietone film. It was produced by JBH Wadia and directed by his brother, Homi Wadia who also wrote the story and screenplay. The dialogues were written by Munshi Sarfarash. Music was by Master Mohammed, who also acted in this film. There were just 6 songs in this film, much less compared to the average of 9 songs per film for the period 1931 to 1940. 5 songs were written by Pt. Gyan Chander and today’s song was by Azeem. Gyan Chander mostly wrote for Wadia films. From 1936 to 1940, he wrote about 30 songs in 15 films.

Mukesh and his Composers – 42
What do these three films have in common?
• Footpath (1953)
• Shola aur Shabnam (1961)
• Shagoon (1964)
Well, it’s no brainteaser. Khayyam saab scored music for all the above quoted films.
But then a lesser-known trivia is the name of Vipin Mehra who was the assistant music director in all the three films.

As I am nearing my 100th post (currently at 96 posts), I am looking for some songs sung by the big 4 (ie) Mohd. Rafi Saab, Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. With over 19K songs posted on the blog it’s quite difficult to find songs by these legends.
However, as I was contemplating on songs to be posted, I found this rare trio sung by Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle and two/three lines by Manna Dey.
The song, “Aag Se Aag Bujhale” is from a 1973 movie “Jalte Badan”. This film was produced and directed by Ramanand Sagar.
It starred Kiran Kumar, Kumkum, Padma Khanna, Alka, Sujit Kumar, Dinesh Thakur, Viju Khote, Karan Dewan, Krishan Dhawan, Pradeep Kumar, Jagdish Raj etc.

Today’s song is from a film which is almost 90 years old – Chhaaya-1936.
This was the first Marathi/Hindi bilingual film made by Huns Pictures, Bombay – a banner owned by master Vinayak along with 2 others. The other partners were Baburao Pendharkar (actor/director) and Pandurang Naik (ace Cinematographer). The film was directed by Master Vinayak. Music was by Dhamman Khan. The film story, dialogues were translated by Pt. Indra, who also acted in this film. He wrote all the 14 songs of the Hindi version.
This was the period of tragic films by Saigal. His famous film Devdas, based on a story by Sharat Babu, became famous and popular all over the Indian subcontinent. This led to a trend in other languages to make tragedy films, in which the Hero dies. In the original Bangla language film, P.C.Barua had acted as Devdas. K.L.Saigal acted in its Hindi and Tamil version, singing 2 songs in the Tamil version. Barua directed the Bangla, Hindi and Assamese versions.
Film Chhaya-1936 was also based on this pattern, where the hero dies. Initially it was thought that such tragic films would not succeed, but film Chhaya became a Hit film. It won accolades from the public and the critics equally. It won many awards too. The cast of the film was Vinayak, Leela Chitnis, Ratnaprabha, Baburao Pendharkar, Indira Wadkar, Pt, Indra, Anant Marathe etc.
