In the hierarchy of Hindi film actors, apart from lead and supporting actors, there is one category of actors who falls between supporting actors and extras. One may call them ‘small role actors’. I found it difficult to identify many actors in this category especially when some of them would be uncredited in the films. One such actor is Ram Sethi whom I had seen in some films of 1970s and 80s. It is only when I joined this Blog in 2011, I came to know that Pyarelal of ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’ (1978) was Ram Sethi. I have also seen him with Amitabh Bachchan in some more films like ‘Laawaaris’ (1981), ‘Yaaraana’ (1981), ‘Kaalia’ (1981), ‘Namak Halaal’ (1982) and ‘Jaadugar’ (1989).

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #

The song being discussed in this article is from the movie ‘Golden Eyes-1968’. It was a movie belonging to the genre of ‘spy thriller’.

I was under the impression that ‘jasoosee’ movie is a ‘detective’ movie. ‘Detective’ and ‘spy’ appear synonymous, but now I have learnt that there is a difference in their purpose and ‘modus operandi’.:) I think ‘spying’ is more correct word here. 🙂 I had always liked to watch movies of this genre. During my childhood days I used to read and like the detective stories of ‘Inspector Dhananjay’ written by Baburao Arnalkar very much. (Interested readers can read more about him in this article written by our respected In-house Encyclopedia Shri Arunkumar ji on the blog.

We have read about Emperor Akbar having nine officials of extra-ordinary skills and calibres in various fields in his court who were called ‘navratnas’ (nine gems). Music director, Rahul Dev Burman also had ‘navratnas’ in his ‘musical court’. In fact, some of his fans put the numbers ‘ratnas’ close to hundred. Nonetheless, if I have to confine the numbers to ‘navratnas’ in his musical team having specialisation in various fields of music, they were Marutirao Keer (Tabla, Percussion), Basu Chakravarty (Cello), Manohari Singh (Clarinet, Flute), Bhanu Gupta (Harmonica, Rhythm Guitar), Bhupinder Singh (Guitar), Homi Mullan (Duggi, Secondary Percussions), Devichand Chauhan (Dholak, Tabla), Amritrao Katkar (Tabla, Secondary Percussions), and Ranjit Gazmer (Maadal). They were the core team of musicians who exclusively worked for S D Burman and R D Burman. It was only when they had spare time from Burman’s assignments, some of them did work for other music directors.

Hullo Atuldom

The blog has songs from “Shri 420” (1955), “Shrimati 420” (1956) & “Ustaad 420” (1969) – from which “Shrimati 420” is one short from being YYIIPPEEEED. Hindi films have a few more ‘420’ (char sau bees). There is a “Khiladi 420” which came in 2000 & “Chachi 420” which released in 1997. These are the 420/s that I know of, there may be one or two more films with ‘420’ in their title.
