#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

(Gulzar Saab’s 92nd Birthday 18th August 2025)

In this post I am presenting a song from a movie released in the year 1975. All songs of this movie have already been covered in the blog, which means the today’s song is an additional song which was not available at that time. This song was recorded, but it was not released on the records of this movie. This song was not picturised in the movie. Thanks to the fans of Pancham Da (and thanks a lot to Mili Bhattacharya jee, who had the recording (spool) of this song) and ‘Pancham Magic –Pune’ that this song is now available on internet for our listening pleasure. This song was released on internet on 27th June 2022.

This song was recorded for the movie ‘Khushboo-1975’. This movie was passed by the Censor Board on 08.05.1975. Which means this movie has already completed fifty years of its existence. This movie was directed by Gulzar Saab. He also wrote the dialogues, lyrics, and screenplay (shared with D.N. Mukherjee and Bhooshan Banmali).

Hullo Atuldom

18th August 2025. It is the 92nd birthday (completes 91) of a most revered lyricist/ poet, writer and film director of Hindi Films. He was born Sampooran Singh Kalra in a Sikh family in the small town of Dina (now in Pakistan). Deeply engrossed in literature and poetry right from his school days, he avidly listened to Hindustani music, attended concerts by Pt. Ravi Shankar and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.

His family moved to Delhi after Partition, but Sampooran moved to Bombay to pursue his ambition to become a writer. He started working as a mechanic in a garage and wrote poetry in his free time under the pen name (first) Gulzar Deenvi & later on (simply) Gulzar. All this is public knowledge.

Today’s song is from a film – Naya Kanoon-1965 – which had an offbeat story on current affairs of IPC. Unfortunately due to several reasons the film was not successful. Two reasons were there. First was, in 1965 so many iconic and milestone movies were made that anything less than their standard was unlikely to have acceptance of the audience. Secondly, the film had inherent lacunae which downgraded it.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film – Tilottama-1954.

Made by Basant Pictures of Homi Wadia, it was directed by the Trick Master Babubhai Mistry. Music was by the multitasking expert S.N.Tripathi. The cast included Chitra, Kailash, Maruti, Babu raje, Indira Bansal, Heera Sawant, B.M.Vyas and a long list of small time actors, who were regulars in such films. The Lyrics were by G.S.Nepali.

Tilottama was an extraordinarily beautiful apsara from the Swarga. She was especially created by Vishwakarma on Brahma ji’s suggestion. The first chapter of mahabharata – The Adi Parva – mentions that Maharshi Narad detailed the story of Tilottama to Pandavas and warned them that one Draupadi as a wife to 5 Pandavas could become a cause of conflict and that they must be careful about it.

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
—————————————————————

‘Hans Ke Jiyo-1950’ (or 1941-1950) was an unreleased movie from the decades of 1941-1950. As per information available in Geet Kosh Vol-II (1941-1950) this movie was made in the decade of 1941-1950. But, there is very less information available about this movie. The name of the production banner for this movie is mentioned as D.M.G. Films. Director of this movie is not mentioned. Likewise, no information is available about the cast of this movie. However Geet Kosh lists seven songs for this movie with singer’s name for each song. Again the lyricist name for the individual songs is mentioned for two songs only which is Chhabi Kumar ‘Mast’, and rest songs have been left blank against the lyricist’s name. The singers list for this movie includes Sulochana Kadam, Sadashiv Gujar, Suman Purohit, and Vinod Kumar.

Atuldom is a lovely place to be. We have some like-minded film music lovers who make the job of post writing very easy. Let me explain.

I was planning a post on a song from the 1999 released, Milan Luthria directed and Ramesh Taurani & Kumar S. Taurani (under their banner of Tips Cassettes) produced film “Kachche Dhaage”. I was planning the post as a tribute to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan whose death anniversary happens to be on 16th August. He passed away on this date in 1997 when he was only 49.
