Hullo Atuldom

I have undertaken a rather difficult task- writing a post to remember the legendary Guru Dutt & trying to pay a tribute to him in my own humble capacity as I am someone who got acquainted with the actor, director, producer, choreographer, and writer much after his time on this earth.

He was born on 9th July 1925, in Bangalore, to Shivashanker Rao Padukone who was a headmaster and a banker & Vasanthi, a teacher and writer. At birth he was called Vasant Kumar & his family was, essentially, Konkani Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmins; but as his family shifted to Bhowanipore (Calcutta) when he was a child, he learnt & spoke fluent Bengali. (That possibly explains why I initially thought he was a Bengali). He had a sister Lalita Lajmi- (a painter) and 3 younger brothers, Atma Ram (a director known for ‘Umang’, ‘Aarop’ etc.), Devi (a producer known for ‘Masoom’, ‘Aakrosh’ etc.), and Vijay. Vasant Kumar’s name was changed to Gurudatta Padukone following a childhood accident, the belief being that it was an auspicious choice. Director & screenwriter Shyam Benegal is second cousin of Vasant Kumar a.k.a. as Guru Dutt & Amrita Rao (actress of the new generation) is the grand daughter of Guru Dutt’s cousin.

In the context of Hindi film music, we have often heard the word ‘plagiarism’ for copying tunes, melodies, orchestrations and even the lyrics. The plagiarism in Hindi film music has become more pronounced from 1980s onwards during which some of the new generation of Hindi film music directors faced the allegations of plagiarism in their compositions of many songs. It came into open when two songs of the same tune, ‘thamma thamma loge’ in ‘Thanedaar’ (1990) and second, ‘jumma chhumma de do’ in ‘Hum’ (1991) were released within a short gap which were said to be inspired from ‘tama tama’ by Mory Kante (1988). Some of the music directors have dismissed the allegation of plagiarism by saying that such song compositions have not been copied but have been ‘inspired’ from original sources.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties (1981-1990) Part-2 –post-5 (1989)

(Celebrating Pancham’s 86th Birth Anniversary 27.06.2025 – 9)
——————————————————————————————————

We are celebrating Pancham’s eighty-seventh birthday today (27 June 2025) on this musical blog. In the previous post I had mentioned about the ‘declining period’ of Pancham as it is said to start with the eighties. During this period he also had health issues and people also started deserting him. But, as I mentioned there were few people who stood by him even in his bad days and they willing to work with him. Pancham was also detemined to bounce back. One of these persons who stood by Pancham’s was his fan turned producer-director Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Chopra was planning ‘Parindaa-1989’ and he had approached Pancham. When he met Pancham he found him in a stage of low self-esteem. However Vidhu Vinod Chopra insisted that only Pancham would give music to his film and he convinced Pancham to do so. Pancham in turn went on to extend help to Chopra when he didn’t have money to pay for the recordings.

Hullo Atuldom

Taking out 1924 from 2025 gives us 101. Is the figure correct? Does that mean today would have been the 101st birthday of Madan Mohan- the composer who gave us such gems as “Rasm-e-ulfat ko nibhaein to nibhaein kaise“, “Kar chale hum fida“, “Kaun Aaya Mere Man Ke Dwaare” and lots more. Our blog’s stats page gives the number of songs as 630 of which the blog has 577.

Madan Mohan’s music was characterised by his immense ability to blend elements of Indian classical music into a new style of Hindi filmi song. He had a keen and sensitive ear for the nuances of Indian classical tunes, and combined them with elements of Western music such as harmonies to produce a style of music that could be appreciated by both classical music aficionados and the common person alike.
