#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————————

‘AANKHIN DEKHI-1978’ seems to be an obscure movie of its time as I could not find any video of this movie or its songs on internet. Not much information is avilable about the story of this movie or its trivia, except the details given in Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980). Rajinder Singh Bedi ji was the director of this movie. It was a ‘Dachi Films, Bombay’ presentation and it was passed by Censor Board on 18.12.1978.

Mukesh and his NFS – 05

Sometime back, I had written about Mukesh’s collaboration with composer Lachhiram Tomar. Here is the said post.

As detailed in the post a 33 second couplet as a background rendition on a female character was all that Mukesh sang for the composer in films. The rendition remains uncredited in the film.

I have already covered the composer and his works with Mukesh in the abovementioned post. As such, this post is being continued in my other series on NFS. Needless to say, the post has to be read in conjunction with my earlier post on Lachhiram.

Mukesh and his Composers – 43

I return with a second consecutive post on an artist who never scored for a full film as a music director.
But, unlike Vipin Mehra of the previous post, the composer in this post is very well known and continues to perform to this day.

I am using the terms music director, composer quite freely and for artists who never scored for full-fledged films. But then as we read this post, things will be clearer.

Today, we shall discuss composer/musician Kishore Desai’s association with Mukesh. I am spared the exercise of researching on Kishore Desai as Sadanand ji has not only written a well-researched and detailed post on his life and works but also met him in person.

Today’s song is from the film Shri Rambhakta Hanuman-1948.

The film was produced and directed by Homi Wadia for his own banner Basant Pictures. The film story was adapted from Valmiki Ramayan by Shivram Vashikar and the dialogues were by P.C. Joshi- who had also acted in the film in the role of Lakshman. The film starred Trilok Kapoor (Shri Ram), Prabhas Joshi (Lakshman), Sona Chaterjee (Seeta), Niranjan Sharma (Ravan), S.N.Tripathi (Hanuman), Dalpat Joshi, Amarnath and many others.The music was by S.N.Tripathi. This was his first role as Hanuman. He went on to do Hanuman’s role 6 more times.

Film Shri Rambhakta Hanuman-48 was the first of the Mythological films Homi Wadia’s Basant Pictures had made. Due to the extraordinary success of religious films from Prakash Pictures, suddenly there was a spurt in making Mythological films. Though Prakash Pictures made hit films like Bharat Milap-42 and Ram Rajya-43, in their films, the entire focus was on Shri Ram and Seeta Mai. They did not give any importance to Hanuman in their films. When I checked the credits of these two films yesterday, I found that Hanuman’s name was not there in the credits and we do not know who did that role ! Sensing this as an opportunity, the business minded Wadia made a film on Hanuman as the central character.

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————
(Debutant Movie- Batohi-1949)

I was specifically looking for a devotional song. While going through the Geet Kosh Volume –II (1941-1950), I come across this pleasant surprise which I am presenting here today.

I had come across this title ‘Batohi-बटोही’ in Geet Kosh (1941-1950) in the past under the list of Un-Released movies. (Those days the songs from this movie were not available on internet ).

Searching for word ‘‘Batohi-बटोही’ on this blog yields only one result. This word appears only in the famous song ‘kaun disaa mein leke chalaa re batohiyaa’ from “Nadiya Ke Paar”(1982)

Coming to the movie ‘Batohi-1949’, very less information is available about it in the Geet Kosh. The name of the director for this movie is not given. However some sources on internet mention the name of the director as Kumar Menon. He directed this movie for T.K. Screen Classics. The cast of this movie had Bharat Bhooshan, Indu Pal, Krishna Murari, Beena Pal, Kesari, Shivraj, Sapru and others.

Today’s song is from a Mythological story – Shuk Rambha-1953.

It was directed by an expert in such films – Dhirubhai Desai and the music was given by Manna Dey. Yes, you read it right. The MD of this film was Manna Dey. many playback singers secretly desired to become MDs, but only few dared and fewer still succeeded. It was a case of reverse too – like most MDs tried their hands at singing. Some dared and few succeeded.

It is seen that the human mind always craves for something done by his superiors, like actors wish to direct films, directors wish to produce films and producers want to direct films. Remember the Gujarati proverb- ” Jeno kaam teno thaay, bija kare so gotha khaay” ? ( जेनो काम तेनो थाय, बीजा करे सो गोता खाय ). Most artists wisely give up what they feel they are not skilled to do. Manna Dey, G.M.Durrani, S.D.Batish, Snehal Bhatkar, Amirbai Karnataki, Shanta Apte, Kishore Kumar and few others learnt the lesson in short time and went back to their real expertise field !
