The film’s title, ‘Fanney Khan’ (2018) with its star cast created interest in me when the film was formally announced. Just as the name ‘Natwarlal’ is identified with a conman, ‘Fanney Khan’ is identified with a man who boasts of his high achievements but in reality, others do not consider him as such. However, in the teaser of ‘Fanney Khan’ (2018), the meaning of ‘Fanney Khan’ has been explained in the context of the film as ‘someone who is an artist, a musician, a dreamer or even a complete idiot’. My interest in the film waned on reading the adverse reviews of the film after the film got a theatrical release on August 4, 2018. After a gap of nearly six years of the film’s release, I am liking a couple of songs from this film. So, I watched the film on a video sharing platform. It is nearly six months after I watched the film, I thought of writing an article on the film covering one of the songs I liked.

Hullo Atuldom

Just heard this absolutely melodious Holi song in the voice of Shreya Ghoshal which I felt should find a place in this blog.

It is from a recent film- “Begum Jaan” which released in 2017 (already 8 years). It was directed and co-written by National Film Award-winning director Srijit Mukherji in his Hindi directional debut and produced by Mukesh Bhatt, Vishesh Bhatt and Play Entertainment. The film is co-produced by Sakshi Bhatt and Shree Venkatesh Films with executive producer Kumkum Saigal. Lyrics, additional screenplay and dialogues have been penned by Kausar Munir and Rahat Indori. Anu Malik was the music director of the 6 songs that were sung by Asha Bhonsle, Shreya Ghoshal, Kavita Seth, Sonu Nigam, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Srijit Singh, Kalpana Patowary, Altamash Faridi, and Anmol Malik (Anu Malik’s daughter).

#The Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————

Today’s song is from the 1962 movie ‘Rashtraveer Shivajee’. I had come across this song recently when I was presenting patriotic songs during Republic Day celebrations. I was looking for songs that praise our national heroes, freedom fighters, and the many unsung heroes who fought the battle for freedom. Before the Britishers our country was invaded by various alien rulers. These rulers tried to dominate the native people by crossing all limits of cruelty, killing them, making them slaves, by converting their faith and religion. However, from time to time there have been courageous and brave sons and daughters of this land who fought to protect the native people of this country. They included rulers from various regions as well as people like Shivaji who created their own kingdom- or ‘Hindavee Swaraajya’ and gave fierce fights to rulers like Moghuls.

I had not much thought about the film ‘Looteraa’ (2013) when it was released. At that time, I was not even aware of the main cast of the film. So, my first impression from the title of the film was that it may be of an upgraded version of ‘B’ grade films of 1950s and 60s type with the use of the latest technological advancements in moviemaking. After more than a decade, the film has come to my attention because of one of its songs, sanwaar loon haay sanwaar loon which I have come across the recent times in short video reels. The full video song made me to watch the film.

#Taraanaa-1979#
——————————

‘Taraana-1979’ was directed by Deepak Bahri for ‘Chanda Pictures’. It was presented by Rajshri Productions and produced by Tarachand Barjatya. Living upto the name of the production house this movie too gives us a clean, musical, family entertainer movie. This is a nice movie having a nice story line of ‘love’ and including sub-plots of ‘lost and found’ story, and ‘wealthy and poor’ conflict to it. The director of this movie Deepak Bahri has some good films to his name. These include movies like ‘Agent Vinod-1977’, ‘Ham Se Hain Zamaana-1983’, ‘Ustaadi Ustaad Se-1982’, ‘Woh Jo Haseenaa-1983’ and others.

#the Decade of 2001-2010 #

Regulars on this blog are familiar about the common interests of the team of this blog. First, it is songs and movies of course, one is cricket and the other most important is Railway or train or Indian Railways specifically. Everybody has a big admiration for the railway services and the efforts they put day in – day out to keep this country ‘moving’. Train travel is the safest and cheap (too) journey for the common citizens of this country as it has been for the last many many years. Then there is the ‘nostalgia’ people have for their life’s years associated of travelling to various places by train. People migrating to far away places from their hometown or staying far from their families for earnings always have many memories associated with train travel of reaching homes when everybody is waiting for them. When one travels in train he gets to have interaction with people from different parts of the country and some of them become friends during the travel and thus one gets to about diverse cultures too. The many journeys also teach one a lot and also tell us about the uncertainties in life and how life has been to the so many others than one self. The ‘Indian Railways’ plays a big role in ‘national –integration’ and it is also source of inspiration for many people like me.
