Today, November 26, 2020 is the 31st Remembrance Day of Chand Usmani (03/01/1933 – 26/11/1989). She excelled in the roles of a suffering woman – as a wife, a sister and later as a mother. Though she was a fan of Hindi films in her teens, she did not think about an acting career in Hindi films. Her first preference was to complete her higher education in keeping with her family tradition. But her fate was written to be an actress.

Today’s song is from the film Kurukshetra-45. This was a film made by Unity Productions, Calcutta. The film was directed by Rameshwar Sharma. This is an unknown name. I could only find that he had directed only 3 films…Bhakta Kabir-1942, Kurukshetra-45 and Vaasana-52. All these films were made by Unity productions, so maybe he was from Calcutta. The Lyricist was Jameel Mazhari – another new name. He seems to have written songs for only this film. The Music Director was Pandit Ganapat Rao.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 96
———————————————————————————–

25 November 2010, the date exactly ten years ago was a day when six songs were covered in the blog. But unlike earlier months of the year when all six or seven songs got covered before 10 AM, this day was a struggle. The first article (post number 3251) was posted at 8:39 AM. The sixth and final post of the day appeared in the evening at 7:44 PM. So it was a struggle, rather than a breeze, to publish the day’s quota of songs on this day ten years ago.

Here is the list of six songs that were posted on 25 November 2010:-

Post number Song Movie (Year) Status of songs of the movie
3251 O pardesiyaa pyaar ki bahaar leke Bahaar (1951) Movie YIPPEED
3252 Tod ke do nainon ka taalaa Daakaa (1959) 4 songs covered out of 6
3253 Dil apna aur preet paraayi Dil apna aur preet paraayi (1960) Movie YIPPEED
3254 Jai Raghunandan Jai Siyaram Gharaana(1961) Movie YIPPEED
3255 Neend ud jaaye teri chain se sone waale Juaari(1968) Movie YIPPEED
3256 Tum se bichhad ke chain kahaan ham paayenge Maharaja(1970) 2 songs covered out of 5

We can see that four movies out of six whose songs were discussed have already been YIPPEED by now. So songs of only two movies, viz “Daaka”(1959) and “Maharaja”(1970) are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (25 November 2020).

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 94
———————————————————————————–

November 2010, much like november 2020, saw songs being covered in the blog at a relatively slow rate. On this day ten years ago, five songs were covered in the blog:-

Song Movie title-Year Remarks
Gayaa andheraa huaa ujaaraa Subah Ka Taaraa-1954 05 of 08 songs posted
Sapnon mein aana chhed chhed jaanaa Sheesham-1952 07 of 10 songs posted
Muhabbat ke jhoothhe sahaaron ne loota Sanskaar-1952 05 of 07 songs posted
Ye maanaa dil jise dhoondhe Zimbo-1958 All songs covered
Tirchhi nazar ka piyaa waar hai Madaari-1959 All songs covered

Two out of five of these movies have since been YIPPEED in the blog. So potentially songs of three movies are eligible to be discussed in the blog ten year challenge today.

“Rampur Ka Laxman”(1972) was one movie that had caught my imagination thanks to its songs played on Radio Ceylon. I did not get to see this movie during its time. I would have dearly loved to watch this movie during its time but that did not happen.

Today (23 november 2020) is the 90th birth anniversary of Geeta Dutt (23 November 1930- 20 July 1972). I was aware of this fact yesterday itself, seeing that I had received several contributions for the occasion. Moreover, this date, which happens to be a monday, is also a day when I present my weekly series of Lata Mangeshkar songs sung in a particular calender year- a very research heavy project. So, my hands were full on sunday (22 november) preparing for all these articles to be published on 23 november 2020.

kuchh aur zamaana kehta hai kuchh aur hai zidd mere dil ki
main baat zamaane ki maanoon ya baat sunoon apne dil ki

This was the swan song from ‘Chhoti Chhoti Baaten’ (1965) both for the singer and the music director of the song as this was their last film in Mumbai before shifting lock stock and barrel to Delhi in 1963. The playback singer was Meena Kapoor and the music director was Anil Biswas. In relation to her romantic affairs with Anil Biswas in the early 1950s, just like in the above two-liner, she was in a quandary. But her heart was adamant (aur hai zidd mere dil ki) that led to a long partnership with Anil Biswas irrespective of what the society said about their relationship.
