Mohammed Rafi : The Incomparable (II) – Song No. 02
———————————————————————-
wo dil jo maine maangaa thaa magar gairon ne paayaa thaa
badi shai hai agar, uski pashemaani mujhe de do
Yesterday I visited the page again on the song ‘Tum Apna Ranj o Gham, Apni Pareshaani Mujhe De Do‘. I know the words are ‘badi shai hai agar‘, on which there is the long thread of comments. ‘Shai’, in common urdu is a thing or an object. ‘badi shai hai ‘ literally means , its a big thing or a big deal. As it is said in English that ‘its a big deal for me’ or means a lot to me.

Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan – 9

सच्ची, बहुत दिन हो गए बंबई गए। चलिए, फिर एक बार चलते हैं, मायानगरी में, एक बहुत ही अनूठे और अनसुने गीत के साथ।
Really, many days now since the last visit to Bombay. So I take you there once again today, along with a very rare, almost unheard and a very out of the ordinary song.

During my routine searching of songs online I came across this film title ‘Dhamki-1945’. And since there had been a film with this same title in 1973 which has already made an entry on the blog, this falls under one of my activities of bringing ‘films with similar titles’ to the blog (so far for the films released before 1980).

Given that today is the celebration of Holi. Also given that there is this Hindi film which has a title based on this festival name. Further given that this film has a wonderful song which celebrates this festival, and the song ‘mukhda’ is based on the title of the film, which, as I said before, is based on this festival name. Then another given that this song has been quite popular in its time, and exists in the collective memory of the music lovers. Plus also given that this film is from 1970, which is an era that is verily fresh in the minds of the bandwagon companions, and other contemporary lovers of music. Furthermore. We have been celebrating Holi on this blog for eight years in a row now.

Mohammed Rafi – ‘अ’ से ‘ह’ तक (From ‘अ’ to ‘ह’) – 16
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
‘ज’
“जब लड़का कह दे हाँ और लड़की कह दे ना”
A phrase in English language – ‘man of God’ is generally used for a person whose personality abounds with all qualities that are good in a human being. Some people that we know to be religious, humble, polite, kind, caring, helpful etc., we apply this phrase when we talk of them.
Talking of Rafi Sb, I have heard Nalin ji (Nalin Shah, the film historian and author) often use another phrase that is decidedly more special. He refers to Rafi Sb as ‘God’s own man’. We can discuss the etiology and the import of these phrases in detail. But of course the phrase used by Nalin ji, has a very special connotation. Some special people will be known as ‘man of God’, by the qualities we like about them, and the manner in which we see them interact with others around them. But there is a more rare breed of people, who have something special, an aura about them, that simply their presence gives a feeling of being close to the Supreme. I have never been in the presence of Rafi Sb, but hearing from those who have met him and interacted with him, one gets a feeling that the phrase applied by Nalin ji is very appropriate.

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 21
———————————————————
‘Do Music Directors direct the music?’
This is the title of an article appeared about 72 years ago in June 1943 issue of FILMINDIA magazine. I had read the title of the article more than a year back but did not go through it at that time thinking that it must have been written by some staff of the magazine. Recently, when I came across the same article, I was surprised to find that the article was written by Ramchandra Pal, the music director who has composed music for Bombay Talkies films like ‘Kangan’ (1939), ‘Bandhan’ (1940), ‘Punar Milan’ (1940), ‘Naya Sansar’ (1941) and many more films in other banners mainly in the 40s. The article is well written.
