My first introduction to Uttam Kumar was way back in the childhood years when, for a long time, I used to confuse a lot between him and Biswajeet. It was in the years when watching television was a new adventure every day. One would scour around the neighborhood and get inside a friend’s or a familiar person’s home. Of course, as an uninvited intruder, one had to watch whatever was being telecast. In any case, Doordarshan was the only channel and there was no other option :). Some known programs would be a fixture that everyone watched. At other times, one would just intrude into whatever was playing on the screen.

This article is the 8400th song post in the blog.
People who are into watching Hindi movies must have noticed that the lead actors do not seem to do anything for their livelihood in Hindi movies. The hero in these movies is seen wooing the leading lady, first by singing a teasing song, then a romantic song. Then there would be a separation song, a misunderstanding song, a reconciliation song etc. Thinking about his/her love interest appears to be the full time job with Hindi movie lead actors which certainly cannot be one’s means of livelihood unless their names happen to be Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, who actually earned their livelihood by this method.

With this song Namkeen (1982) makes its debut on this blog. Namkeen is the story of an old woman and her three daughters, as Gulzar says, in their incomplete family (adhooraa saa parivaar). The elder daughter, Nimki (Sharmila Tagore) has passed the age of marriage (Gulzar’s words, not mine), the middle one Mitthu (Shabana Azmi) is speech-impaired and the youngest is Chinki (Kiran Vairale), who is very cheeky. In this family arrives as a paying guest the truck driver Gherulal.
