Today 4th January 2026 is the 33rd Remembrance Anniversary of Rahul Dev Burman whom we fondly know by his nickname ‘Pancham’.

Rahul Dev Burman was born on 27th June 1939 and he passed away on 4thJanuary 1994 at the age of only 54.

Today, on this occasion, we will listen to a few songs composed by him.

The song in this post is from the decade of nineties. This was a period when Pancham was passing through a lean patch of his career till he bounced back in 1994 with the musical blockbuster ‘1942-A Love Story’.

Today’s song is the last and final song of the social film Bade Bhaiya-1951.

As seen in the ‘Hindi film Index’ by Hamraz ji, I found that there were at least 25 films having titles of ‘Bada’, ‘Badi’ and ‘Bade’. There was also another film Bade Bhaiya made in 1957. There films like Bada bhai, Badi behen (3 films), Badi Beti, Bada Ghar, Bade nawab, Bade miyan, Bade Saheb, Bade Sarkar, Bade thakur, Badi bahu, Badi baat etc. etc.

The film Bade Bhaiyya-1951 was probably one of the last films in which actor Agha was the Hero. The film was made by Super Pictures, Bombay. The owner of the banner- Aspi Irani was also the director of this film. The music was by Premnath ( Wadhwan), who was a member of the ‘Same Name Confusion’ pair with actor Premnath (Malhotra). Looking at the persona of actor Premnath, it was strange how so many people thought that he also gave music. Of course actor Premnath actually had received a regular training in classical music from Ustad Jagannath Prasad. He had also sung 2 songs in Hindi films, Rangbhoomi-1946 and Chand Sitare- 1948. However, he stopped singing after that.

Madhubala-1950, A Ranjit Movietone film, directed by Prahlad Dutt had music by Pt.Lachhiram. The cast of the film was Madhubala, Dev Anand, Jeevan, Randhir, Manju, Ram Avatar and others.

We have been taught in our school that 2=2 is 4. But in life, sometimes 2+2 is also 22 like, when a Love marriage is by the willing consent of both the families, or getting a child after 10 years of marriage or when your son stands First and wins a Gold medal in his MBBS course, it is the 2+2=22 ! Similarly when ‘Rati’ and ‘Madan’ come together, it is 2+2=22 ! In our language, when the eternal beauty Madhubala pairs with the handsome, young Dev Anand it is 2+2=22 again.

In the film Madhubala-1950, when these two were paired, no wonder people were ecstatic and crowded the cinema halls. No one bothered if the story was weak or the music was third rate. These two were enough to please them. Here, of course the story was good and the music too !

Today, December 31, 2025, is the 7th Remembrance Day of Writer-Actor Kader Khan who created a niche for himself in the midst of Hindi film’s first super star writer duo, Salim Javed. In fact, he went one step ahead of them as he was also a prolific character actor of various shades.

The life profile of Kader Khan ( 22/10/1937 – 31/12/2018) is an inspiring one. It is one more of ‘rags to riches’ stories of artists in Hindi film industries. He was born in Kabul but due to poverty, his family shifted to Mumbai and stayed in Kamathipura area in Mumbai. Soon, he lost his mother when he was an infant. His step mother ensured that Kader Khan completes his education. In the midst of extreme poverty, he completed his matriculation and joined Ismail Yusuf College in science stream. After passing Civil Engineering, he got a job as a lecturer in Saboo Siddik College of Engineering on a monthly salary of Rs.300/-. He worked as a lecturer for about seven years up to 1975.

Today’s song is from a social film – Suhag-1958.

This was a film dubbed from its Tamil version titled “Tang Malai Ragsiyam”. There was a Kannada version too, titled ” Ratnagiri Rahasyam”. Both the South Indian films were made simultaneously in 1957. The Hindi version was made in 1958. I have not seen this film. All 3 versions were directed by B.R. aka Budagaru Ramakrishnaiah Panthulu. For him this was his DEBUT film as a Director. Not only him, but even his assistant Director – Puttanna Kanagal made his DEBUT in direction. Before direction, both were mere actors. Even in later years, they appeared in a few films as actors.

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’. 🙂

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.
