Missing Films of 1960s – 12
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –

OK, back from ‘Bapu Ne Kaha Tha’ and on to the next available movie in this sequence. Today, I am posting a wonderful song from the 1962 film ‘Manchali’. Ah yes, we had another ‘manchali’, before the more well known film of the same name from 1973 starring Sanjeev Kumar and Leena Chandavarkar. It appears that this film most likely sank without making any ripples, or leaving any memories behind. There is really very little information available for this film.

Mohammed Rafi – ‘अ’  से  ‘ह’ तक  (From ‘अ’ to ‘ह’) – 3
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

‘इ’
“इधर भी हसीना, उधर भी हसीना “

There is one name, and one person, in the immediate family of the child Mohammed Rafi, that probably gets mentioned in the margin lines of the story of his early years. However, this person was instrumental, and played a most significant role in recognizing the talent of this child, and endeavored to provide him opportunities for listening to and learning from some of the greatest masters of that time. The name is Hamid and he was the elder brother to Mohammed Rafi.

Genius of Jaidev – 39
—————————-

It took me A YEAR to present this post today, after the last post ‘Genius of Jaidev – 38’, which appeared on this Blog on December 19th, 2015.  After posting two songs by Mangeshkars from 1969 film ‘Sapna’, I have now a solo by Manna Dey.  Not having seen the film my guess is that this song must have been picturised on the hero of the film, trying to move away from whatever situation he found himself, in a very dejected state.

So 2015 comes to an end. We have had a very eventful year on the blog. Reached many milestones. Many artists reached centuries and some had their thousands and two thousands. Many contributors have posted multiple centuries. But Atulji still remains the man who is the whole and soul sutradhar of this wonderful place in CYBERLAND. If it was not for his encouragement we would all still be waiting for his time and our farmaishes to be fulfilled. If he had not allowed us- his blog followers -to write our thought with our favourite songs it would not have been possible to read gems from enlightened souls like Arunkumar Deshmukhji and Bharat Upadhyayji and Shenoyji and Sudhirji. I can think of our blog as a kind of workplace where each person specializes in a particular field.  Long live such a well oiled machinery!!!! Also in the month of November we had our annual panchis (birds) returning home and a few of us got together in Bangalore (of course we are waiting for the Ankhon Dekha Haal from our able commentator Rajaji).

Rajesh Khanna – The Phenomenon – 1

1983.

A young boy of fifteen, who has just successfully passed out his SSC-Board exams, is keen on taking up higher studies further. He is uncertain of the future, as the subjects he like and the subjects his family & friend circle want him to study are extremely opposite. Finally he lands with an admission in 11th with PMC stream and additional vocational subjects.

‘आ’
“आप से दिल ही मांगा था जान तो नहीं”

Searching through the obscure and the unheard, we continue to encounter such fabulous creations that bring a gasp of pleasant surprise. Today, in the second installment of this new series of songs by Rafi Sb, I bring this exuberant song of ‘chhed chhaad’ from an unreleased film from the 1960s. The film is ‘Jaan Bachi Laakhon Paaye’. We have one song from this film already posted a little over one year ago – “Teri Zulf Mein Chun Ke Champa Ki Kaliyan”, another delightful creation, in the voice of Mahendra Kapoor and Sharda.

This article is the 11700th song post in the blog.

mere saathi
meri awaaz ke peechhe

chale aao
chale aao
chale. . . aao

 

Kaash, ye awaaz phir se live sunaai de, to kahin tak bhi chal ke jaane ko jee karta hai.
(Wish this voice could be heard live again, the heart would want to follow it, wherever.)

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

‘अ’

Celebrating another year without Rafi Sb, celebrating another anniversary of this peerless artist. And more than anything else, celebrating another year of endless memories and ruminations.  God does not duplicate, they say. And so, for us listeners, memories is all that is there to live by.

I am supposed to be moving ahead from ‘Mall Road’ (1962), the previous post in this series. But no. Today, I return to another earlier movie that was missing, but now is no longer missing.  I bring a song from a rare film ‘Bapu Ne Kaha Tha’.

Missing Films of 1960s – 10

Mall Road, for me, is connected with wonderful sweet memories of my childhood.  As it is, Mall Road is there in many cities, here in India and also outside India.  But in India, and more so in my mind, the mention of this word is almost always connected with Simla.
