Today, February 6, 2026, is the 86th birth anniversary of Bhupinder Singh (06/02/1940 – 18/07/2022), singer, composer and guitarist who regaled the listeners with his natural and wounded feeling voice. Gulzar had said about him in some context that Bhupendra was a bit of a fakir, just like Sufis and Sadhus. They look lazy but they are very focused and attentive. There is no greed or haste in him. Whatever Bhupinder does, he does from his heart. Because of his Sufiana spirit, Bhupinder Singh could render ghazals beautifully.
Born in Amritsar in 1940, Bhupinder Singh started his singing training in his childhood with his father, who was a music professor in Khalsa College in Amritsar. But his interest was more towards playing musical instruments. Bhupinder Singh grew up in Delhi after his father shifted there and completed his high school. In Delhi, he got further training from Ratilal and Gopal Krishan Acharya. From his teenage days, he had started singing ghazals to his friends in the tunes set by himself. Side by side, he developed interest in playing Hawaiian Guitar which he learnt by self-studies. He got a job in AIR Delhi as a singer and the musician under Satish Bhatia, another Hindi film music director.

The last “Sarfaroshi ki tamanna” posted in the blog is this. That’s the ARR composition of the famous ghazal by Bismil Azimabadi.
ARR has one more composition of the same ghazal yet to be posted in the blog. I am planning to post that also in due time.
I know I have said this before too, that the relevance of Urdu poetry is a growing force, in our world. It is taken to one level by the connoisseurs, who treat it with reverence. And it has the vivacity to make a commoner want to reach out and learn the nuances of Urdu. People who have no connection or inclination towards classical poetry of any genre or language, are known to have “Takiya kalam” in Urdu. It is not just the poetry that has survived the test of time, it is the idioms and phrases, rooted in the culture of the society, the gunga-jamuni Tehzeeb and the ‘Mu’atabar” sounds, which made Gulzar say:

‘Daasi’ (1981) was produced by Subhash Verma and was directed by Raj Khosla. The cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Rekha, Moushumi Chatterjee, Rakesh Roshan, Vikram, Paintal, Radhika Bartake, Sidharth Kak, Dhumal, Leela Mishra, Sundar, Narbada Shankar, Anita Advani etc.
The film was planned in 1976 based on a Hindi novel, ‘Mangala’ (1958) written by Anant Gopal Shevde. The main plank of the story in the novel is that Mangala goes through a deceitful arranged marriage with a blind singer, Pandit Sadananda. As a revenge, she rebels against the marriage by seducing her husband’s best friend and finally eloping with him. In the end, Mangala returns to her husband, Pandit Sadananda and becomes a vocalist under his tutelage. However, during the film’s planning stage, the producer and distributors felt that the plot was too bold and the audience may not accept it. Raj Khosla majorly tweaked the story of the novel for the film by making the husband’s friend (Rakesh Roshan) as her ex-lover and making him a grey character. It is Rakesh Roshan who tries to seduce Mangala. (Source: ‘Raj Khosla – The Authorised Biography (2025) by Amborish Roychoudhury, Anita Khosla and Uma Khosla).

‘Dil Aakhir Dil Hai’ (1982) was produced by M S Gulati and was directed by Esmayeel Shroff. The cast included Rakhee, Nasiruddin Shah, Parveen Babi, Jalal Agha, Rehman, A K Hangal, Deena Pathak, Dinesh Hingoo, Ramesh Tiwari, Murad, Leela Mishra etc.
In an interview with The Times of India, which was published on October 27, 2022, Nasiruddin Shah has revealed that he was cast in the film only because Rishi Kapoor had backed out from the film. Film’s director, Esmayeel Shroff propped him up by saying that he can do any type of roles. But as the film progressed, he and the director realised that he was a misfit in the film. Probably, this was one of the reasons that film failed at the box office.
