Today’s song is the last and final song from the coloured social film Rahgir-1969.

I specifically mentioned coloured film, because it was still a novelty for the audience. Even in the 60’s, a few films were made in B & W, but by the end of 1960’s decade they were a thing of the past. Rahgir-1969 was a sort of a hybrid film – mixture of a regular film and a New Wave cinema. The audience was not yet ready for the New Wave Cinema, but the excellent films presented by the select producers and the directors their acceptance was achieved soon. The film was released on 2-7-1969 .

Film Rahgir-1969 was a remake of the celebrated Bengali film “Palatak” (1963). Tarun Majumdar, the director of the remake, had directed the Bengali original along with two co-directors – Sachin Mukherjee and Dilip Mukherjee. The film was based on the story “Angti Chattujjer Vai” by Manoj Basu. Hemant Kumar, who composed the music for the Bengali film, also composed the score for the remake.

Hullo Atuldom

We are on the last weekend for the year 2025. The world has just celebrated Christmas. We will be welcoming 2026 in 4 days. I am sure many educational institutions are closed for Christmas Holidays and (working) parents would have also taken the opportunity to take their wards out for vacations. Here is wishing everyone A Happy Yuletide.

There was a period in the history of Hindi films when three actors viz. DEV ANAND- DILIP KUMAR- RAJ KAPOOR ruled over the film- viewing sensibilities of the Hindi film audiences. There were fans who copied the style of either one or other of these three. Then after a brief period it was Rajesh Khanna who influenced audiences, which was followed by the Amitabh Bachchan wave. Post that we have not seen audiences going crazy about one or other actor, though the entertainment world has had great looking, dancing, emoting, charismatic actors. But none of these could rake up the frenzy as seen in the DEV-DILIP- RAJ period or the KAKA (as Rajesh Khanna was called) or the Big B (as Amitabh Bachchan was called) wave.

A few weeks back while going through Deepti Naval’s filmography on her Website, I found the mention of one of her films, ‘Anant’. I have never heard of this film. I did not find the mention of this film on any regular film/song-based websites, like IMDb, myswar.in etc. Fortunately, a video clip of the film was available on one of the video sharing platforms which was uploaded by the producer of the film. I watched the film in one sitting and liked it immensely.

Anant (1999) was a tele film which was produced by Project Smita Society and Voluntary Health Association of India and was directed by Raman Kumar. The cast included Deepti Naval, Kanwaljeet Singh, Seema Biswas, Satyadev Dube, Bhakti, Javed Khan, Nanda and Avtar Gill. The story of the film was written by Alok Mukhopadhyay mainly to create an awareness about AIDS/HIV+ . Vinta Nanda wrote the screenplay and dialogues. The film was premiered on Star TV on December 1, 1999, on World Aids Day. Later, it was dubbed in nine languages for being telecast on the regional TV channels. The film was produced in mainstream cinema format with the focus on creating the awareness of AIDs for the people at large. The film is of 70 minutes’ duration.

Today’s song is from the social film Naya Kadam-1958.

“Naya” is one of the popular title words of the filmmakers in Hindi films. As many as 40 films were made, having the starting word as Naya- from Naya Aadmi to Naya Zamana, during the period of 1935 to 2009. Not to be left behind, even films having titles starting with Nayi, Nayee or Nai, there were as many as 29 films !

Film Naya kadam-1958 was not a very successful film in 1958, as the year was replete with many entertaining films. It was directed by S.P.Kalla. His life story is like many other film people who, though successful in their vocation in the film industry, try their hand at producing a film and it becomes their nemesis costing them the ultimate- their life !

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-6

Today’s duet song which is composed by Rahul Dev Burman, fondly known as Pancham, is from the movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’. I have not watched this movie but when I browsed the list of its songs and listened to a few of them, this duet song sounded familiar to me.

This movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ was directed by Moeen Amjad for ‘Chetna Movies’. Shantilal J Sopariwala was the producer of this movie. The presenter of this movie was ‘Chetna Zarda & Co’ and in the title of this movie (in the version available on internet this credit for the presenter comes up with a picture of the container of its product i.e. ‘Zarda’ and printed on it is ‘Chetna Zafrani Zarda 131 flavored chewing tobacco’. 🙂

Those days movies showing tobacco products were not required to carry the statutary warning about the health hazards of these products that are mandatory now a days. This movie was passed by the Censor Board on 05.12.1988.

The cast of ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ included Mithun Chakravarty, Moon Moon Sen(as spelled in the titles of the movie), Shakti Kapoor, Girish Karnad, Kalpana Iyer, with Shobha, and Amrish Puri. Shubha Khote, Om Shivpuri, and Viju Khote had guest appearances in this movie while this movie introduced actor Manoj Verma. They were supported by Jalal Agha, Urmila Bhatt, Alka Nupur, Shantilal Suratwala, Monal Kriplani, Bhiku Verma, Tinu Verma, Kishan Thapa, Ranveer Raj, Kartik Dutt, Vasant Patel, and Jullien. Story and screenplay for this movie was written by Sachin Bhowmick and its dialogues were written by Akhtar-Ul-Iman. Editing of this movie is done by Anant Apte.

Playback singers for this movie are Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, and Shailendra Singh. This movie has six songs written by Anand Bakshi which were composed by R.D. Burman.

Rahul Dev Burman, the genius music director was going through a lean phase of his career during this period. Only six movies with his music were released in the year 1988. Here is the list of these movies with their status on this blog.

Today we introduce this movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ on the blog with this duet song sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. The song is picturised on Mithun Chakravarty and Moon Moon Sen. The picturisation of this song has taken place in scenic locations of Nepal (it can be deduced from the credits of the movie where various various authorities of Nepal have been thanked for their co operation).

Let us now listen to and enjoy this Pancham composition…

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 80

Sometime early this year I had posted a peppy number from the movie “Bada Kabootar” (1973). That rare song was the 15th in this series.

Today I present to you another rare and beautiful song “Raaz Ki Ek Baat Hai” again sung by the inimitable Asha Tai. This song is written by Yogesh Gaud and composed by Rahul Dev Burman.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Anarbala-1961’. This movie seems to be an obscure movie of its time. However the songs of this movie that are available are great songs. This observation has often been made by our members that these so called B or C grade movies had some great music in them. These movies may have become obscure, but their music deserve better fate

‘Anarbala-1961’ is one such movie. The movie appears to be lost, but some of its songs have survived and have become available online.

We normally have a feeling of nostalgia towards the films we watched in our youth. We always love their music, their artists and the general experience we watched while seeing those films in the cinema halls of yore. Sometimes, in newer films, we see tributes being paid to them. Occasionally, we find the tributes a bit insipid leaving us uninspired. However, once in a while, a song makes you really feel good and enjoy it while giving you a feeling of nostalgia. Today’s song is one such song.
