#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————–—-

Today I am presenting a rare and lesser heard duet sung by Rafi Saab and Asha Bhonsle. That adds one more to their tally on this blog. I do not remember to have listened to this song earlier, but it is nice hummable song to listen to.

This song is from the un-released/shelved movie titled as ‘Shehar Se Door’. Sources mention that the records for this movie were released in the year 1972, but the movie was never released.

‘Shehar Se Door’ or ‘Shahar Se Door’ was directed by Chaman Nille for ‘Maya Deep International, Bombay’. It had Subhash Ghai, Neena, Heena Kausar, Roopesh Kumar, Nadira, Johny Walker, Raj Mehra, Krishan Dhawan, Anita Guha, V. Gopal, Jankidas, Uma Dhawan, Uma Khosla, Jerry, Monto, Satya Devi, Madhu Kapoor, Tarun Bose and others. Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980) lists five songs for this movie written by Verma Malik. Music for this movie was composed by Sonik-Omi. Manna Dey, Mohd Rafi, Minoo Puroshottam, and Asha Bhonsle were the playback singers for this movie.

Today’s song is froma Mythological film – Veer Arjun-1952.

The film was made by Ajit Pictures, Bombay belonging to the producer Ratilal Punatar. He was the Nephew (Bhanja) of Chandulal Shah (owner of Ranjit Movietone). The film was directed by a very learned author- Ramchandra Thakur. There were 2 MDs- Avinash Vyas (6 songs) and S. Mohinder (1 song). The cast included Trilok Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, Mahipal, P. Kailash, Dulari, Mehtab, Usha, Amirbai Karnataki, S,N.Tripathi, Pesi Patel, yashwant Dave and many others. Compared to any Social or Action/Costume film, there are always more artists in a Mythological film, as it has (too) many characters in its story, like e.g. Nakul and Sahdev…sometimes they have no dialogues also or 100 Kauravas. Only Dushasan and Duryodhan are talking and other 98 are only present there.

this is 20100th song post of the blog

If we liken this blog to a Train, and posts to stations, then important posts can be considered important stations. We in this blog consider century posts as important destinations. By that token thousandth posts are very important stations. Even among them, post numbers 5000, 10000, and their multiples are considered very very important destinations.

Last month on 11 March 2026, the blog reached the very very important destination of 20000th song post.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 102

I have always thought that this song was composed by Sapan Jagmohan, but I am happily surprised that that is not so. It was composed by a gentleman named only as Ghanshyam. I am not sure if this person is the same one who goes by his full name – Shyamji Ghanshyamji. I request knowledgeable readers to clear this mystery for me.

Shyamji Ghanshyamji, although it sounds as a composer jodi, it is one person’s name. As a composer he gave some excellent songs like “Apni Aankhon Mein Basa Kar”, “Meri Hasraton Ki Duniya”, “Kabhie Gham Se Dil Lagaya”, etc

Whereas, the composer of today’s song is known to have composed for only one movie – Kunwara Badan (1973).
