Hullo Atuldom
Heard a song this morning after almost 45-46 years.
It was from “Amar Shakti”(1978) which was produced by A.K.Nadiadwala & directed by Harmesh Malhotra. It had Sulakshana Pandit, Shashi Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha leading the cast with Pradeep Kumar, Jeevan, Om Shivpuri, Ranjeet, Roopesh Kumar, Indrani Mukherjee, Alka, Murad, Birbal, B.M. Vyas etc. playing supporting characters.
Manjula who was from South India; active in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada films, played a banjaran character in the film. She was seen in a few Hindi films of the late 1970s.
The songs of “Amar Shakti” were written by Anand Bakshi & composed by Laxmikant – Pyarelal. Asha Bhonsle, Sulakshana Pandit, Chandrani Mukherjee, with Kishore Kumar & Mohd. Rafi being the male singers.
The story of the film was of the typical “lost and found” story, where there is also a royal family involved. Since it was the story of royals, inheritance etc there has to be a scheming Diwan & a sulking brother of the King- Jeevan & Pradeep Kumar played these characters. There is a Maharaj (Murad) who becomes ill on hearing of the assassination of his Yuvraj & his wife. The Maharaj is also poisoned to death, but somehow the young Rajkumars (sons of the Yuvraj I think) escape or are saved. They come back as grownups to regain their lost titles etc. Along the way, there are the usual twists & turns, where the brothers are unaware of the relation between them (to start with). Then one brother is in love with the traitor’s (who is the current Maharaj) daughter & is also the Senapati of the land. This naturally puts the brothers on opposite sides of the law, before they discover their identities & unite before the HAPPY ENDING. Very typical!!!!
Today’s song happens after the brothers have found each other. They are celebrating in the ‘kabeela’ which had given shelter to one of the brothers & the palace nanny (Indrani Mukherjee). The princess (Sulakshana Pandit) also joins the dance routine. The lady in the red costume is Manjula.
With this song we also remember the super sweet, cute, handsome, Shashi kapoor on what would have been his 86th birthday. He had worked in 4 films as child star (from 1948-53) before making his debut as an adult in ‘Dharmputra’ that released in 1961. He was about 23 then, but already married to Jennifer Kendall. It was ‘Jab Jab Phool Khile’ (1965) opposite Nanda that helped him find a place among popular actors of the 1970s & much of the 1980s.
He had acted in around 160 films before he took retirement from films sometime in late 1990s. He had acted in 12 English & 148 Hindi films – solo hero films were 61 & 53 were in multi-starrers. He was seen playing supporting characters roles in 21 films (has played father to Govinda, I remember). “Ghar Bazar” which released in 1999 was Shashi Kapoor’s last film, his was a special appearance in the film which released 10 years after it was completed.
Here is the song that shows the handsome Shashi Kapoor who was a good actor but an average dancer. Kudos to the choreographer for giving the heroes horses in the middle of the song and making things easy for them.

Today’s song is from a religious film Prabhu ki Maya (1955).
This film was made by the well known Filmistan studios. It was directed by Vithaldas Panchotiya and the Music Director was Ravi Shankar, for whom it was his only second movie as an independent composer. He went on to do 112 Hindi films composing 796 songs. He also sang 21 songs in 18 films and in addition wrote66 songs in 21 films as a Lyricist. So, what remained was Acting and Directing a film, which he never tried ! He also had a stint as an MD in Malayalam Films with the name ” Bombay Ravi “.
Mythology and Religion are two things which are very popular throughout the world. Not only in India, but all over the world, except probably the Communist countries, where Religion is considered as a Tablet of Opium ! There was a time when many Mythological and Religious films were made in India, but these days this Genre Seems to have shifted to television and almost all Indian language TV stations air the Mythological and Religious serials. The kind of TRP Ramayan and Mahabharat got on TV indicates that the medium has changed but the response of Indians has not changed towards religion. It is not just we Indians who like this Genre, even in older times Hollywood used to make such films. During my World Tour in the early 2000, I had noticed that even in Japan and the Far East they made their Mythological and Religious films.
Fundamentally, Indian people are simple people who are God fearing and God loving. Indian public never gets tired of the routine.Films on Love Triangle are being made since 1931 till today though by repackaging them differently in keeping with the changing times. Though the final outcome is predictable and very well known to the viewers, these films still celebrate jubilees in the Theatres !
Similarly, all Mythological films are based on the principle of ” Satyamev jayate” or “Victory of good over the Evil”. Each film presents it in different ‘dressing’ and different routes. The fights of the Gods and the Rakshasas are very interesting, because of lot of firework (literally and figuratively), Trick scenes and unimaginable get-ups of the Rakshasas ( like only one eye on the forehead, or half animal body or simply an ugly looking Giant etc ). In olden days, I remember that there used to be loud rants of “Jai Shri Ram ” or ” Har Har Mahadev” within the theatre at the end of the movie- depending on who the main God of the film was.
But then, who are these Asurs, daitya or the Rakshasas ?
Their literary origins can be traced to Vedic sources through Hymn 87 of the tenth mandala of the Rig Veda. Here they are classified amongst the Yatudhanas, demonic creatures who consume the flesh of humans. It is said that Rakshasas were created from the breath of Brahma when he was asleep at the end of the Satya Yuga. As soon as they were created, they were so filled with bloodlust that they started eating Brahma himself. Brahma shouted “Rakshama!” (Sanskrit for “protect me!”) and Vishnu came to his aid, banishing to Earth all Rakshasas (thus named after Brahma’s cry for help).
The tracing back to Kashyapa is not necessarily a later edit, but is not mentioned in the dense Hymns of the Vedas because of poetic choice. The knowledge of the Rakshasa lineage traceable to Kashyapa may have been known at the time of the compilation of the Vedas, but lineages are altogether foreign from the style of the Vedas and thus would have appeared out of place. That is why the Puranas and Epics elaborate on lineages, but Vedas do not.
Kashyapa was married to the thirteen daughters of Daksha, among them were Aditi, Diti and Danu.
His sons with Danu are the Danavas
His sons with Diti are the Daityas
His sons with Aditi are the Adityas, who are considered Devas and are also called Suras.
Rakshasa were most often depicted as ugly, fierce-looking and enormous creatures with two fangs protruding down from the top of the mouth as well as sharp, claw-like fingernails. They are shown as being mean, growling like beasts and as insatiable cannibals who could smell the scent of flesh. Some of the more ferocious ones were shown with flaming red eyes and hair, drinking blood with their palms or from a human skull (similar to vampires in later Western mythology). Generally they could fly, vanish, and had Mayaawi shakti (magical powers of illusion), which enabled them to change size at will and assume the form of any creature.
Aside from its treatment of unnamed rank-and-file Rakshasas, the epic tells the stories of certain members of the race who rose to prominence, some of them as heroes, most of them as villains. In the world of the Ramayana and Mahabharata, Rakshasas were a populous race of supernatural humanoids. There were both good and evil rakshasas, and as warriors they fought alongside the armies of both good and evil. They were powerful warriors, expert magicians and illusionists. As shape-changers, they could assume various physical forms, and it was not always clear whether they had a true or natural form. As illusionists, they were capable of creating appearances which were real to those who believed in them or who failed to dispel them. Some of the rakshasas were said to be man-eaters, and made their gleeful appearance when the slaughter on the battlefield was at its worst. Occasionally they served as rank-and-file soldiers in the service of one or the other warlord.
As far as Religious films are concerned, there is no dearth of stories. During the Bhakti Movement in India, right from the 6th century it originated in Tamilnadu and spread all over. Its peak period was between the 15th and 17th Century. Though it was primarily to invoke the feelings among the natives to fight aggressors to save our culture and religion, it also provided abundant material for books, dramas, Kirtans and finally films, getting inspiration from the lives of the saints of this period. Today’s film is a Religious film mixing a little of Mythology. The story of the film ” Prabhu Ki Maya” (1955) was…..
A landlord is weeping as his son has died of Snake Bite. By coincidence, Swami Atmanand is passing by. Seeing the plight of the father, he revives his son and advises the landlord not to get involved in worldly affairs and lead a detached life like Shukdev. Upon asking about the story, Swami tells the story.
Instigated and coaxed by Narada, Parvati goes to Shiv ji and requests to learn the secret of Amaratva (immortality),so that she can become Amar too. Shivji,in a good mood then, narrates the Tatva to her, but in the long discourse Parvati falls asleep and the rest of the tatva is heard by a small bird-Shukdev. When Shiv ji learns about this, he wants to destroy Shukdev. Terrified, Shukdev enters the open mouth of Vyas Muni’s wife, when she is yawning. Once inside ,he remains safe for 12 years.It takes a birth and immediately flies away in search of Bramhagyan. Narada takes him to Vyas Muni,who teaches him and then takes him to King Janaka. While in transit Shukdev sees a Lion, killed by king Parikshit get salvation by listening to Shrimad Bhagwat. A thirsty King Parikshit goes to Shyamak muni’s ashram and asks for water. Since the Muni is in samadhi, he does not respond,so irritated, king Parikshit puts a dead snake in his neck. This is seen by Muni’s son and he curses Parikshit. To get rid of the curse he goes to Ganga maiya who sends him to Shuk Dev. After listening to Shrimad Bhagwat from Shukdev, King Parikshit goes to heaven freed from the curse.
The film emphasises the need for everyone to read Shrimad Bhagwat daily for total salvation.
The director of this film was Vithaldas Panchotiya ( Born 15 October 1906-Died 2 October 1987 ). Except those readers, who have a knowledge of early era Hindi films, it is unlikely that other readers might have even heard this name. In the early era, when the studio system was firmly established, the artistes employed by the studio had no specific duties. Anybody and everybody had to do what was needed by the company. Due to this many capable artistes became all rounders in film making.
Vithaldas Panchotiya was certainly one such person. He has been a Producer, Director, story writer, dialogue writer, screenplay writer, lyricist, Singer, Music Director and God knows what else !
Born in October 1906 in Vadnagar in Gujarat, he followed his father’s footsteps. His father worked in stage dramas and toured with the drama company. From the age of 8 years Vithaldas started acting in dramas. Later he joined Calcutta’s Alfred Drama company, owned by Madon Theatres Limited. He worked on a salary of Rs. 35 pm. While working in dramas, he established his own Gujarat Film company and produced 12 silent films in 10 years. Vithaldas first acted in the silent film ‘ Dhruv charitra’-1921. He learnt dance and music too. He acted , directed, sang songs and gave music also. He acted in Talkie film ” Muflis Ashiqe”-1932, claimed to be India’s first comedy film. He acted, sang and composed music for this film.
Being a staunch Gandhian, he used to participate in rallies etc. Some of his films were Hindustan-32, Insaf ki Tope-34, Gaibi Gola-35 ( he was the writer and the director too.He gave a break to Baby Noorjahan in this film.), Khudai Khidamadgar-37 aka Garib ki Tope, Takdir ki Tope-38 etc . As per one source, he acted in 35 films, directed 10 talkie films, sang 8 songs, gave music to 1 film and wrote Lyrics to 2 films. Additionally story, dialogues and screenplay writing were also done by him. Some of his films were, Shaikh chilli-37, Khush naseeb-46, Prabhu ki maya-55, Ghar ki numaish-49, Karmaveer-38, Raman-54, Jagriti-54, Hum sab chor hain-56, Basant 60, Bhagvat mahima etc.
I find it very difficult to know exactly how many films he did in various capacities in the 1930s, as there are conflicting claims by him and Master Fida Hussain. In a few cases the details in HFGK and what he claims, gets contradicted. Some of his films in the 40s are Ramanuj-43, Giribala-47, Grihalaxmi-48, Ghar ki Numaish-48 ( released only in 1962, with the title ‘ Jai ho muhabbat ki ‘ )
Thanks to information and statistical data provided by Shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji of Surat, we know that his Filmography consists of a total 11+ 26 films. The break up is-
11 silent films
25 Talkie films as Actor and 1 film as a writer only.
9 films as a Director
2 films as Lyricist and
2 films as Music Director
As per Muvyz data, he sang 37 songs in 8 films.
From 1951 to 1960, he did 13 films- mostly ( 9) for Filmistan. He directed 2 of them. After 1960 his work was reduced. The death of his 3 sons broke him emotionally. As a true Gandhian, it was his dream to make a film- Gandhi Sangram- on Mahatma Gandhi. He had done all the spade work and the Muhurat of shooting was also done on 2-10-1987, The Government had promised finance. Even Rajiv Gandhi promised him that. However nothing came to him and he died on 30-10-1996, with his dream unfulfilled.
His daughter Shradha used to work in Gujarati films. She too died in a Train accident in 2000. Her daughter Deepshikha is an actress.
Today’s song is sung by Hemant Kumar, Asha Bhosle and Chorus. Enjoy the song….

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Basu Chatterjee-R.D. Burman)
————————————
In this post I am presenting a song from the ‘1979’ movie ‘Ratnadeep’.
I have no recollection of this movie during my growing up years. I was about eleven years old when this movie was released.
This state of oblivion about the movie and its songs continued for many more years. The song ‘kabhi kabhi sapnaa lagtaa hai’ was an exception that I may have inadvertently listened to without knowing about its details. Later, I discovered that there was another song of this movie that I was aware of (while being unaware that the song was from this movie).
(But I am not presenting that song today 🙂 ).
‘Ratnadeep-1979’ was directed by Basu Chatterjee for ‘Gayatri Movies, Bombay’. It was produced by R. Kannan and R. Jagannath.
This movie has Hema Malini, Girish Karnad, Dheeraj, A.K. Hangal, Sulochana, Prema Narayan, Nandita Thakur, Yunus Parvez, Pinchoo Kapoor, Master Sagar, Poornima Jairam, R.S. Chopra, Gautam Sareen, Amal Sen, Aroop, Manmauji, Ranjeet Sood, Chandu, Vishnu Sharma, Mohammad Ali, Khoka Mukherjee, Kashinath and others.
Basu Chatterjee who was director of this movie also wrote the screenplay and dialogues of this movie.
This movie was based on short story by Prabhat Kumar Mukhopadhyay.
“Ratnadeep-1979” was passed by Censor Board on 12.12.1979.
Going by the filmography of director Basu Chatterjee I have noted that as many as five movies directed by him were released in the year ‘1979’. This must be the highest number of movies directed by Basu Chatterjee and released in one calendar year.
Here are the names of these movies.
| SNo | Title of the movie | Passed by Censor Board | Lyricist/s | Music Director |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Baaton Baaton Mein | 31.03.1979 | Amit Khanna, Yogesh | Rajesh Roshan |
| 02 | Jeena Yahaan | 16.07.1979 | Yogesh | Salil Chaudhary |
| 03 | Manzil | 14.05.1979 | Yogesh | R.D. Burman |
| 04 | Prem Vivaah | 30.08.1979 | Anand Bakshi | Laxmikant-Pyarelal |
| 05 | Ratnadeep | 12.12.1979 | Gulzar | R.D. Burman |
The movies he produced and directed or the movies he directed always had good music too if not great. This year 1979 was no exception.
Basu Chatterjee collaborated with many music directors but mostly with music director Rajesh Roshan.
In the year ‘1979’ for the five movies he directed he had two movies with R.D. Burman, and one each with Rajesh Roshan, Salil Chaudhary and Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
R.D. Burman composed music for ‘Manzil’ and ‘Ratnadeep’ directed by Basu Chatterjee and released in the year ‘1979’.
Lyrics for the movie ‘Manzil’ were penned by Yogesh and lyrics for the songs of ‘Ratnadeep’ were penned by Gulzar.
Both the movies have some great songs including the most liked and loved by all ‘rimjhim girey saawan’ from ‘Manzil’.
However, none of the songs from both the above movies made it to the ‘annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala’ of that year i.e. 1979’. There were as many as ‘eleven’ songs composed by Pancham which featured in this list of thirty-nine songs. These included songs from ‘Shalimaar-1978’, ‘Jurmaana-1979’, ‘The Great Gambler-1979’, ‘Devtaa-1978’, ‘Azaad-1978’ and ‘Golmaal-1979’. That is how tough the competition was. Only one song composed by R.D. Burman featured in the ‘Top-10’ of this list of ‘annual Binaca-Geetmala’ list of ‘1979’. This song was ‘ham bewafaa hargeez naa thhe’ from ‘Shalimaar-1978’.
Today I am presenting a ‘lesser-heard’ or may be ‘never heard song by many’ from the movie ‘Ratnadeep-1979’.
According to me this song deserves to be a ‘well-known’ song for the ‘special folk touch’ of the composition, the singing of this song by the ‘singers’ and its’ lyrics by none other than Gulzar Saab.
I have not watched this movie so can’t say much about the picturisation of this song. Also the video of this song is not available as of now.
Let us now enjoy the second song from ‘Ratnadeep-1979’ which is sung by Bhupinder Singh and Sapan Chakravarty.
Enjoy the music; enjoy the composition which is celebrating the arrival of the beloved of the girl …
This song grows upon us as we listen to it a few times.

We in this blog regularly publish song posts everyday without a fail. The last date when no post appeared in the blog was 25 December 2019 (Blog day number 4177). Today (14 August 2022) is the 5140th day for the blog. So there has been no DOT day for the blog during last 973 days !
When we are this regular, then song posts add up and before we realize, we arrive at the next century mark. The previous century mark was a big occasion when we reached a round figure of 17000 song posts.
Nowadays only one or two songs posts appear in a day whereas more than six songs used to appear daily in the blog ten years ago, as we have been noticing while discussing songs under our Blog Ten Year Challenge series. Even then we reach our centuries fairly regularly. The 17000th song post appeared on 2 June 2022. Today, on 14 august 2022, that is 63 days later, we arrive at the next century song post, namely song post number 17100 !
This is a century song post with some difference. It is the first century post for the blog after the blog became ASAD Bhopali. In other words, it is the first century post after I superannuated from my Railway service and settled down at Bhopal. If I or others thought that the pace of the blog will pick up, that has not happened. In any case, we nowadays are not much concerned about the pace at which we are going. We just ensure that no day should be a DOT date.
The century post is always a special post that showcases a song that is special in one way or the other. All the 170 century songs (yes we have had that many century posts in the blog) have been very special songs. Assuming each of these song to be 3 minutes long, listening to all these songs non stop will require 510 minutes, viz 8 hours 30 minutes ! Assuming someone sets out to listen to all the 17100 songs at the same rate of 3 minutes per song, he will need 51300 minutes, which is 855 hours viz nearly 36 days (non stop round the clock) worth of music !
Regulars have actually listened to all these songs. I, who has published bulk of these song posts have actually listened to all these songs multiple times !
So one can have some rough idea of how much time has gone into the effort of bringing all this collection together at one place. And this is by now an online collaboration of nearly two dozen like minded music lovers who have been putting on enormous amount of time and effort and love into this ongoing online project of collecting and piecing together authentic information about the glorious history of Hindi movie music.
As a result of our collective effort, we have showcased songs from over 4600 movies. More than 1000 singers, more than 800 lyricists and more than 500 music directors are already represented in the blog. 1329 movies have already been YIPPEEE’D.
The above figures may not look very impressive to the uninitiated, but the initiated persons will know that this is perhaps the only place online where all this information is available at one place. For instance, many of the YIPPEEE’D movies had songs that are rare songs. Those missing songs have been specially located and uploaded by us (more specifically by Sudhir Ji). Similarly a few of the special songs (including century songs) were special songs that were uploaded for the first time online while those special posts were published.
During the process of our posts, We found songs that were incorrectly credited in HFGK. we have come across songs that did not find mention in HFGK. We also had occasions when new information about songs and artists were received from comments made by knowledgeable sources. Sometimes even close relatives of the artists commented on our posts and shared invaluable information with us.
All the above facts are extremely satisfying to us who are associated with the blog in various capacities. We feel that we in our own small ways, are contributing our mite to human knowledge . With time, our contribution may find more appreciation, I am sure of it.
I started thinking about a song for the occasion only at the last moment which is my wont these days. I finally zeroed in on this song from ‘Nav Durga’ (1953).
‘Nav Durga’ was produced by Homi Wadia and directed by Babubhai Mistri for Basant Pictures Bombay. The movie had Usha Kiran, Mahipal, SN Tripathi, Sulochana Chatterji, Amarnath, Agha Shapur, Raja Sandow etc. in it. The movie had nine songs in it. Six songs have been covered in the blog so far.
The song being discussed is sung by two sisters. We have hundreds of songs sung by Mangeshkar sisters, but there were other sisters too in HFM. But duets sung by these sisters are few and far between. Suman Kalyanpur (nee Hemadi) has sung a few duets with her sisters, such as Shyama Chittar (nee Hemadi). Geeta Dutt too had a sister called Laxmi Roy, but her sister sang very few songs before vanishing from the HFM after her marriage.
The song under discussion is sung by Geeta Dutt (then Roy) and Laxmi Roy. Ramesh Chandra Pandey is the lyricist. Music is composed by SN Tripathi. This is a joyous song. Geeta Dutt sings initial stanzas. Laxmi Roy’s voice appears towards the later half of the song.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.
I take this opportunity to thank one and all for their continued support and encouragement that is providing us with the energy to drive this musical bandwagon on and on. Let this musical bandwagon roll on and on for many more centuries of songs.

Blog Day : |

I count the minutes the days the hours. . .
I count the stars. . .
Days, then weeks, then months – on to years and decades. The march of time incessantly continues. Superimposed on this unremitting progression is a calendar that allows us to measure passages of time. The philosophers of yore had no tools other than observation and contemplation, by which they used to measure natural phenomena. And then this measurement and contemplation over long periods of time uncovered patterns of celestial movements which tied into the the design of changing climate on earth. And thus was born the concept of calendar and measures of years. Over a period of time it got refined into a detailed structure that we now see as twelve months and 365 days. Of course with further refinements of leap years and leap centuries to make accurate adjustments to synchronize the this framework with the precise movement of Sun in our skies.
As aeons progressed, the year became a substantive measure of passage of time that fitted well into the cycle of seasons, and hence into the cycle of agriculture and farming of crops. This was the basic standard that started it all – there is nothing more critical in the world than food for survival. Air and water are available, but food – it has to be grown.
So the year became a standard of passages in life. The human life, its works and its achievements got tied with the cycle of years. Age of humans, education, performance measures of all kinds et al, got tied to the cycle of years. Longevity of relationships and the apparent joy of happiness, trust and loyalty, financial turnovers – you name it. Everything happens with the passage of years.
And the year also become the benchmark of celebrations, be it birthdays, anniversaries etc., everything is in terms of number of years.
And this pyramid is completed when we celebrate the passage of the ‘year’ itself. From time immemorial, different races, different nations, different belief systems, different working systems, and more – have identified their own regulated time points within a year, when the completion of one year is announced. Within our own country we have multiple celebrations around the year, when we announce the dawn of a new year. And so have many other countries, religions and sects of people.
The Gregorian calendar is the most prevalent and accepted calendar around the world at present times. And hence the start of a fresh year as per this calendar is also a celebration that has been accepted worldwide. Come 1st January, and the dawn of the New Year is celebrated across all nations and across all time zones. So that brings us to the celebration of the New Year on our blog also.
Over the past thirteen plus years, we have celebrated this day fourteen times, starting with 1st January 2009, and counting up to today i.e. 2022. As I tried to trace out the songs which are specifically New Year celebration songs, I could locate only 11 songs that have been used so far on this blog. No doubt the celebration and greetings messages are contained in some more posts that are dated 31st Dec and 1st Jan. But not all those songs are specifically New Year celebration songs. Here is the list of these eleven songs. In case I have missed any, please leave a comment, and I shall update this table.
| Ye Saal Ki Aakhhri Raat Hai | Beraham | 1980 | 31-Dec-11 |
| Saal Mubaarak Saahib Jee | Do Jaasoos | 1975 | 1-Jan-12 |
| Naya Saal Aaye Tamaashe Dikhaaye | Nazraana Pyaar Ka | 1980 | 1-Jan-12 |
| Aanewaale Saal Ko Salaam | Aap Ke Saath | 1986 | 1-Jan-12 |
| Sabko Mubarak Naya Saal | Samrat | 1954 | 1-Jan-13 |
| Saal Mubaarak Aaya Ho Jiyo Mere Raaja | Toote Khilaune | 1954 | 1-Jan-13 |
| Happy New Year To You | Do Jaasoos | 1975 | 1-Jan-13 |
| Naye Puraane Saal Mein Ek Raat Baaki Hai | Raksha | 1981 | 31-Dec-14 |
| Aadhi Raat Aayi To Khayaal Aaya Hai | Bahaaron Ki Manzil | 1991 | 1-Jan-15 |
| Assalaam-aile-Qum, Saal Mubaarak Ho | Telephone | 1986 | 31-Dec-19 |
| Sach Kehta Hai Ye Saara Zamaana | Jaagir | 1984 | 1-Jan-20 |
Our dear Prakash Chandra ji has been very diligent with ferreting out songs for special occasions, and he has been very helpful in the past in getting details about New Year celebration songs to Atul ji and myself. Actually two of his suggested songs are still waiting. As I was trying to use one of them for this post, I discovered that the links provided were not functional at this time. So for today, we are using this song from the 1977 film ‘Zehreeli’. The film makes its debut on our blog today.
‘Zehreeli’ is a run-of-the-mill crime and punishment tale. A B-grade movie, that most likely came and went without raising much interest. The film comes from the production house of Amba Films,Bombay and is directed by VN Reddy, who is also the cinematographer of this film. The star cast of this film is listed as Neetu Singh, Shailendra Singh, Bindu, Jalal Agha, Imtiaz, Virendra, Jairaj, Purnima, Sharat Saxena, Jagirdar, Satish Arora, Nandita Thakur and others.
As per Geet Kosh, there are three songs in this film. The music director for this film is Sharda, whom we better know as a singer. As I check the MD details on the blog, we already have four songs on board, that have been composed by her. This now is the fifth song composed by her to be showcased here.
Two songs of this film are penned by Vithalbhai Patel and one song is written by Abhilaash. This song is from the pen of Vithalbhai Patel. The singing voices are of Mohammed Rafi and Aarti Mukherji. On screen, Bindu is lip syncing the voice of Aarti Mukherji. I had a hard time trying to identify the gentleman who lip syncs Rafi Sb’s voice. The name is M Naidu, and he is also the choreographer for the film. I must thank my dear friend Ahsaan Bhai, an ardent fan of Rafi Sb, for this identification.
The song is somewhat peculiar. It has only one stanza after the mukhda, and it was also an exercise to confirm that this is the complete version. The audio of the song, and also the song on screen has a longer duration. More than half the duration of the song is simply music and dance by Bindu. Oh well, the powers that may be. It is a song of Happy New Year message, so here we are.
This is the opening song of the film immediately after the credits are displayed on screen.
And so, it is a goodbye to the dear 2021, and a welcome to the fresh and new 2022.
Wishing all readers, friends and fellow band-wagoneers, a Very Happy and Peaceful New Year.

हे
जवां समा जवां बहार
चमन मुस्कुराया
गया साल गया और नया साल आया
जवां समा जवां बहार

दिल में प्यार का नशा

[आमोद प्रमोद और हंसी के शब्द]
हर नज़र में प्यार की है रोशनी
मुस्कुरा रही है नई ज़िंदगी
हर अदा लगे हमें भली भली
बाहों में आ गई है हर खुशी
मुझसे कोई मुझको ही चुरा गया

‘Chaalu Mera Naam’ (1977) was directed by Krishna Naidu for BC Deora Films, Bombay. This B grade movie had Vinod Mehra, Mahendra Sandhu, Vidhya Sinha, Helen, Madan Puri, Anwar Hussain, Deven Verma, Nazneen, Maruti, Jagdish Raj, Prakash Thapa, Radheshyam, Ramesh Deo, Chandrashekhar Vaidya, Sajjan, Sulochana Latkar, Anand Girdhar, Gurbachan Singh etc. in it.
The movie had four songs in it. One song has been covered so far.
Here is the second song from ‘Chaalu Mera Naam’ (1977) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and Kishore Kumar. Verma Malik is the lyricist. Music is composed by Kalyanji Anandji.
The song is picturised as a celebration song (birthday celebration?) where Helen and Vinod Mehra (in disguise ?) perform this song and dance. Villains are in attendance in full strength , as we can notice in the picturisation.
I request our knowledgeable readers to tell us what is going on in this picturisation.
The song itself is quite wonderful to listen to. It reminds me of music of ‘Don’ (1978), composed by the same music director duo. Sadly, this movie, which predates ‘Don’ by one year could not take advantage of such a fantastic sounding song.
It is a nice song that has been forgotten with time, mainly because the movie failed at the box office.

So. Finally it is official.
We are teenagers now, the first step into the growing up years. The childhood years left behind and now the coming of age years are starting.
What started off as a ‘let’s-try-it’ hobby run with the simplest of the simple philosophical musings – “Miley Na Phool To Kaanton Se Dosti Kar Li“, has come of age today and has blossomed into a huge tree with thousands of branches spread out, with roots that are deep and strong, and are full of conviction. A tree that provides shade in terms of solace to the lovers of music, which in turn are spread out all over the globe. This is the world tree of music and songs. This is a tree that has a flavor for every palate, a tree that has fruits of everlasting tastes for the connoisseurs, a tree that conserves and perpetuates that enchanting phenomena that is the lovely Hindi Film Music – this is a tree that has many different meanings and many different treasures for the seekers of pleasure in music. There is a whole universe of music that has settled itself around this tree. Although the desires abounded for flowers, but when none were forthcoming this direction, the protagonist settled for the proverbial thorns to start with. That humble gesture ensured that flowers of all shades and colors, and also, flower bearers of all tastes and wonders, kept on coming together one by one, till a complete orchestra of performers was formed, and the bandwagon got its name.
Thirteen years and counting. And if you talk of counting, here are some counts that will really make you happy with wonder.
Do you know that we have a visitor to this blog, every thirty seconds – the total count (and still counting) is upwards of 14.5 million visitors. Now that is a number to really wonder about.
Do you know that we have been averaging quite, quite close to one new film per day since the inception of this blog. 4749 days today and 4480 films showcased. And oh yes, that is not counting the Non-Film songs categories. Adding them categories, we shall surely be at 1+ new film or new non-film song category per day. Isn’t that a wow that makes one feel like flying.
Do you know that the average daily rate of posting is upwards of three posts per day. Try doing that seven days a week, 365 days a year, and continuously at that rate for 13 years. Try writing a letter each to three friends every day, day on day, for 13 years. My, does that no yet boggle the mind.
And that is where the superlatives start ceasing to have an impact.
13 years – 4,749 days – 16,484 posts. . .
And just ONE person. Now isn’t that something to boggle the google. Especially when we know it is a labor of love, and that it is not an endeavor for remuneration. Ah yes, it does finally boil down to love. As does of course, everything else in this universe.
That one person, carrying the entire earth on his shoulders, like the legendary Atlas. Not pausing for even a day to rest. Of course yes, there have been rarities that we have had dot days. But in the final count, the averages will speak for themselves. No matter how many runs and how many centuries – double, triple – any other batsman has scored, the Don Bradman remains the Don Bradman when the averages are calculated.
Atul ji, over the years that we have been associated for this endeavor, we have completely used up all the possible epithets and adjectives to address our appreciation of your work. And now, we are at a loss to articulate this emotion any further. And will finally end up saying these lines that I borrow from another legend – ABBA,
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
And not just to me – to this entire world, a compilation that is sans any peers. Who would have thought it could have been possible. Your own words have been that your earliest flights of imagination brought you to a number of maybe 2,500. And that then you would rest.
Aah, but for the passion this ignited, within yourself, and within this motley crew of the musical bandwagon. The counter is ticking oh so close to 16,500 posts. And not a day’s breather seems to be in view. Mightier and stronger and higher we ride the Olympian altitudes. And the bandwagon keeps chugging along, day on day, week on week, month on. . .
I just thought of taking a look at the date of 19th July across our travels. We have had a total of 68 posts that have been celebrating this anniversary, after the intial 19th July post of 2008. Seven posts in 2009, 4 posts in 2010, 5 posts in 2011, 6 posts in 2012, 5 posts again in 2013, then on to 7 posts once again in 2014, 5 posts in 2015, and wow, a whopping 8 posts in 2016, back to 4 posts in 2017, aah – 3 posts in 2018, 4 posts in 2019, back up to 6 posts in 2020, and then today, 4 posts again to celebrate this wondrous milestone. With songs posted across the entire spectrum of decades, from 1936 all the way up to 2002, the celebrations of this anniversary have been multifarious and varied.
Ah but let me not bore you with any more statistics and analyses. And bring you to this song for the celebration today.
Geeton Ka Sansaar Yahaan Par
Took me a while to locate this wonderfully complementary theme song for this celebration. And for its rarity, it is – sorry, it was not yet available online. The film is ‘Nai Reet’ from 1948. The film itself makes a debut on our blog today.
The film has been produced under the banner of India Film Corporation, Bombay and is directed by Shubh Karan Ojha. This relatively obscure film that probably did not garner much attention and box office receipts when it was released in 1948, has the cast listed as Sulochana Chatterjee, Geeta Bali, Rajendra, Krishankant, Tiwari, Badri Prasad, Tara Bai, Leela Mishra, and Ramesh Sinha. Most names are familiar, and I am sure the full cast would be carrying more names.
The film has 8 songs in total. All the songs are written by a team of two songwriters in collaboration – Bal Krishan Gupta and Ratan Kumar Gupta. The footnote that is carried in the Geet Kosh, succinctly states that – “As per the information recieved from Lyricist Bal Krishna Gupta all songs this film were written by both Lyricists working together, i.e. `Kumar-Gupta` (Ratan `Kumar` Gupta + Bal Krishna `Gupta`. However the records carry the name as `Kumar Gupta`.” So by this input, we would also use the lyricist’s name as Kumar-Gupta.
The music is by SK Pal, and the singing voice is that of Meena Kapoor.
And the words – they oh so well sum up the emotions of this celebration today – that here is a universe of songs that has been put together for us.
गीतों का संसार यहाँ पर
मुसकानों का मेला है
पत्ती पत्ती झूम रही
हर फूल में जादू फैला है
A world of songs is here
It is a festival celebration of smiles
Every leaf is swaying with delight
There is a joyous magic spread through every flower
मैं भी अपनी झोली लाई
भर लेने को बिखरी दौलत
मैं भी दौड़ी दौड़ी आई
क्या छोड़ूँ क्या चुन लूँ इस में
लगता बड़ा झमेला है
In haste I come here
To gather this treasure spread about
I try to garner it all in my arms
And the mind is in a dilemma
What all shall I take
And what all shall I leave
एक अनोखा बाग है दुनिया
सुन्दर सुन्दर प्यारा प्यारा
मानो मीठा राग है दुनिया
पागल मन मेरा मस्ती में
कली सा खिल खिल खेला है
What a joyful garden this world is
So beautiful and lovely
The whole world is a sweet melody
And my mind is untamed in passion
Blossoming like new buds playing
Yes, all these emotions run through the mind when I look at this incredible and phenomenal treasure of enchanting melodies – this world of songs, here, with us.
A grand celebration for this inception day milestone.
A wonderful musical greetings to all readers and all members of the musical bandwagon.
And a bagful of wishes and blessings, that this tree may only proliferate further, day by passing day.
And that this journey may never cease.
तमन्ना है ये साथ चलते रहें हम ना बीते कभी ये सफर. . .

Today’s song is from the film Bhaijaan-1945. It was made by United films, Lahore. Directed by S.Khalil, it had music by Shyam Sundar. The songs were by Partau Lukhnavi. The film had 9 songs. The cast of the films was Noorjehan, Shahnawaz, Meena, Karan Dewan, Anis khatoon, Ansari, Nazir Kashmiri and others.Some of the songs shot on Noorjehan were sung by Nurjehan in the film, but the 78 RPM records of these songs were by Zeenat Begum. There are 4 such songs. This information is from the recordist Anant Thakur, as mentioned in HFGK. Anant Thakur is the same person whose name appeared as the Director of film Chori Chori-56, in later years.
The story of the film was written jointly by Ismat Chugtai and S.Khalil. Dialogues and songs were by Partau Lukhnavi. This film was the maiden venture of the United films. The producers of this film were Khalil and Murad. Though a small company, it is a wonder how they could get big stars like Noorjehan. The film was released on 15-9-1945 at the Imperial Cinema in Bombay. As per review of the film , which appeared in the Film India magazine of November 1945, the film did a better business than expected.
The story of this film is about a Muslim middle class family. From the film Qaidi-1940, there were many Muslim social films made by Fazli brothers, Mehboob Khan, K.Asif and some others. This went on till 1947 and after a sizable gap, some Muslim social films were made in late 50s and 60s. The story of film Bhaijan-45, as given By shri Kamlakar pasupuleti ji, in his book, “Forgotten movies on Muslim Culture, 1933 – 1947″ is given here….
This is the story of two well educated, cultured brothers, Nawab Afsar (Shahnawaz) and Nawab Anwar (Karan Dewan). Afsar is married to Sarwari Begum (Anis Khatoon) but falls in love with Benazir (Noorjehan)-a dancer. A child is born and Sarwari’s sister Shahida comes for her help. Anwar falls in love with her and their marriage is fixed. Anwar comes to know about Afsar’s involvement in Benazir and he goes to her asking her to keep away from his brother. She agrees, but falls in love with him.
A relative of Afsar, Shaukat (Nazir Kashmiri) who lives with them wants to marry Shahida and so spreads rumours that Anwar is in love with Benazir. One day Afsar finds Anwar in Benazir’s house and believing Shaukat’s stories, quarrels with Anwar and asks him to leave the house. Anwar leaves and proceeds to Bombay to look for a job. With this tension, Afsar falls sick and on Sarwar’s request, Benazir nurses him back to health. Learning about Anwar’s exit from this house, Benazir decides to leave the theatre and move to Bombay.
Meanwhile Afsar comes to know the tricks of Shaukat and throws him out. Shaukat goes to Shahida’s parents and tells stories about Anwar. They believe him and break Anwar-Shahida’s marriage. However, Sarwari informs all details to her parents. They ban Shaukat and the marriage is re planned. Anwar meets with an accident in Bombay. Knowing this, Afsar goes to Bombay and the brothers get united. Considering Anwar’s love for Shahida, Benazir decides to go out of his life and commits suicide. So, all is well and both families live happily thereafter.
This small budget film did good business. Dialogues were in simple Urdu. Every role was done nicely. Director Khalil went on to direct some more films. He directed 7 films only, namely Jhankaar-42, Nai Zindagi-43, Bhaijan-45, Shahkar-47, Sartaj-50, Gunehgar-53 and Benazeer-64. He had written 7 songs in the film Tajmahal-41.
In this film the role of Afsar was important and was done effectively by actor Shahnawaz, who later on migrated to Pakistan and did better there than in India. Shahnawaz Khan, known only as Shahnawaz, was born on 18-9-1906 in Hyderabad Deccan. His father was a Major in Hyderabad’s Nizam Army. During his school education, he used to act in dramas. After Matriculation, he joined a Govt. Service in Hyderabad state. He was, however, keen on joining films and dramas. After 5 years, he left the job and started a Motor car business. In that connection, he would visit Bombay often and try his luck at different studios. Finally, his efforts bore fruit and he got a Villain’s role in film Bharat ka laal-36, in which he was listed as S.Nawaz. It was a stunt film made by the Kadam brothers (Harischandra rao and Chandra rao Kadam), with Master Bhagwan as the Hero.
After this, he never went back to Hyderabad. Then came his films Daulat-37, Toofani khazana-37, Rangila Mazdoor-38, Jungle king-39, Sardar 40 etc etc. In 1940, he joined Bombay Talkies and worked in films. He was apparently in Devika Rani’s camp. He was seen in Punarmilan-40, Bandhan-40, Jhoola-41, Naya Sansar-41, Kismet – 43 and Hamari Baat-43. He also worked in Masterji-43, Police, Parakh and Anban-44, Zeenat, Bhaijan and Humayun-45 and few more films. In all, he did 35 films in India. In 1948, Shahnawaz migrated to Pakistan. He was welcomed there. He did 41 films in Pakistan (32 Urdu and 9 Punjabi). Some of his films were quite famous, like Aansoo-50, Sassi-54, Ayyaz-60 etc.
Shahnawaz died in Karachi on 18-6-1971. His last released film was Nek Parween-75.
Today’s song is sung by 3 unidentified female voices and a chorus. HFGK mentions this song as a Chorus song only. The music of this film does not justify the image of Shyam sundar.
( Ack: information for this post is taken from HFGK, muVyz, Film Directory-1946, KamlakarP.’s book ” Forgotten movies on Muslim Culture,1933-1947″, Film India magazine and my notes ).

Today’s song is from film Shri Ganesh Mahima aka Shri Krishna Vivah-1950.
Mythological films have been my weakness from the beginning. When I was around 10-12 years of age, I would be a very happy, willing and enthusiastic escort to family elders-especially ladies, going for a Bhakti Pradhan film. What I liked in these films was the trick scenes and fantastic costumes. later on I realised these films also provided lot of religious knowledge in the formative years.
Most mythological films were based on stories from Ramayan and Mahabharat. But many films were also using stories from various Puranas like Shiv Puran, Vishnu Puran etc. There was no dearth of such stories, what with 18 Puranas and 2 Epic books. Stories of Puranas etc have some hidden meanings, which one has to look for. Few years ago,in one of my posts, I had explained how the Dashavatars of Lord Vishnu were actually the story of evaluation of Life on Earth. The first avtar of Matsya( the fish) explains us how life on earth began in water.The second avtar of Koorma (the Tortoise) told us the development of Amphibians who started living on land and water. So on and so forth
In Tretayug, Shri Ram came and in Dwapar Yug, Shri Krishna was incarnated by Lord Vishnu. Shri Ram gave a lesson on how to be an ideal son, husband, friend and a King, but Krishna taught us how to be a street smart person and win over enemies skillfully. I feel in today’s times, Krishna is more relevant than Ram. Krishna also taught us how to be a happy person and enjoy everything.
Like religious stories , there is no shortage of Gods also, in our Religion. This is actually one of the plus points of Hinduism. Each community can and will have its own version of God. Many Gods, but basics are never compromised. Everyone knows there is only ONE GOD, having a different version to suit the worshipper. Examples are, Fishermen have God in the matters related to Sea and Tribals in forests worship Gods made of Wood. We all know that these are all symbols and God lives in our Hearts.
One can find stories of most popular Gods like Ram,Krishna, Ganesh, Hanuman, Shiv ji, Vishnu etc, but somehow the film world has ignored Bramha, Saraswati, Shani deo, Surya dev, Kartikeya etc. These are the Gods for whom even temples are few. Kartikeya (elder son of Shankar-Parvati) is worshipped in south as Kumara swami. These Gods do appear in some films for few minutes, but exclusive films on them are missing. Now that Mythology is present only on TV, such films have become rare these days.
Our Indian film makers will never fall short of subjects for their films. They can combine any stories and make a Hybrid film- like for example, Sindbad,Alibaba and Alladin-1965. They can give families and children to famous characters like Zimbo ka Beta, Alladin ki Beti etc. The worst molestation has been done to the famous character of Tarzan. He is combined with, Capt. Kishore, Delialah, King kong, Circus, Cobra, Gorilla, Hercules, Jadugar, jadui Chirag, Jalpari and a Fairy. Tarzan is provided with a Mehbooba, Beta and Beti. Tarzan has been sent to Delhi, Paristan, Fairyland and even in a wonder car. I feel pity for Edgar Rice Burrows who must tired of turning in his grave !!!
Film Shri Ganesh Mahima aka Shrikrishna Vivah-50 is also a combination of stories from Ganesh Puran and Bhagwat Puran. In Ganesh Puran, there is a story that once The Moon laughed at Ganesh. Ganesh was angry and he gave a curse to the Moon. Moon came on his knees and then the curse was modified that whosoever sees the Moon on only Ganesh Chaturthi night, will be falsely accused of theft. In our childhood there was a rumour that to ward off the false accusation of theft, if you throw stones on somebody’s house and he abuses you, then the curse disappears. Some naughty boys used to do this and get abuses profusely !
In Bhagwat Puran, the story of Shrikrishna’s marriage to Satyabhama is described. In this film,both these stories are interwoven skilfully. The story of this film, as noted by me in my diary, is thus……
Great and Miraculous powers are attributed to Shri Ganesh the benefactor of mortals as well as the immortals. Such a benign being was once laughed at by Chandra only to be cursed by him. Realising his folly, Chandra begged for forgiveness and the curse was modified by the merciful divinity to be effective only on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi. He ordained that anybody looking at the moon on that night will be a victim of false accusations.
It was on such a day that Shri Krishna unwittingly looked at the moon in the night and had to suffer the indignity of being falsely accused of theft of Syamantak Mani. This jewel was acquired by Satrajit, one of the Yadavas as a boon from God Sun. Shri Krishna had sent Narad to Satrajit expressing his desire to possess the Mani. The events took such a turn that there was circumstantial evidence against Shri Krishna who happened to be at the Chambers of Satrajit’s daughter Satyabhama, devotee of Lord Krishna on the night prior to Satrajits losing the Mani. Shri Krishna was shocked at such allegation made by Satrajit and Shatadhanva ( Another Yadava) who had been promised by Satrajit the hand of his daughter Satyabhama.
Shri Krishna took upon himself to find out the jewel and redeem it to its rightful owner only to clear himself of the allegation. A search party was organised which came across the dead body of Prasain, a carcass of lion and also the foot-prints of a bear blazing a new trail which when followed led the party to a cave. Shri Krishna went inside the cave telling the followers to wait at the cave entrance for seven days and if he did no return by then, to go back to Dwarka. Inside the cave Shri Krishna found the Syamantak Mani and also Jambuwanti, the daughter of the powerful bear king Jambuwant. There ensued a fight between Shri Krishna and Jambuwant lasting for twenty one days. The people at the entrance of the cave returned as per instruction after the seventh day. The duration of this fight gave Shatadhanva a real chance for villainy. He puts in an all over effort to win the hand of Satyabhama who would marry none but Shri Krishna. Jambuwant after losing the battle gave away his daughter in marriage and Syamantak Mani as dowry to Shri Krishna.
Coming to Dwarka, Shri Krishna returned the jewel to its rightful owner, Satrajit repented and made amends by giving away his daughter to Shri Krishna in marriage. Shatadhanva came to know of this alliance and made short work of the unsuspecting Satrajit and decamped with the Mani. Shri Krishna brought justice to the evil doer and the villain Shatadhanva fell a victim to his famous Sudershana Chakra.
The cast of the film was Mahipal, Meena Kumari, S N Tripathi, Moolchand, Dalapat, Amarnath etc. The film was made by Basant Pictures and directed by its owner, Homi Wadia. Music was by S N Tripathi. In the arena of Mythological, Historical and Religious films, from the 40s to the 60s, the names of Mahipal, Trilok kapoor, Manhar Desai, Prem Adib and Shahu Modak were taken frequently. Similarly,Jeevan as Narad was also popular. All the Heros were handsome and they had a sort of special glow on their faces. Each of them had a special style of portraying roles. Prem Adib was famous for his roles of Ram, Shahu Modak excelled as Shrikrishna with his mischievous smile. Trilok Kapoor means Bhagwan Shankar. Manhar Desai and Mahipal did a variety of roles of different Gods. While Manhar Desai was more active on Gujarati screen, Mahipal worked mainly in Hindi films. His repertoire of roles included films of Mythology, History, Costume and Folk Tales.
Mahipalchand Mahadevchand Bhandari was born in Jodhpur, Rajsthan on 24-11-1919. By 1941 he got his B.A. degree and he also started participating in Kavi Sammelans,with his poetry. His break in films came with Nazrana-42. The film was a flop, but he was employed for writing lyrics.
He acted in Ranjit’s Shankar Parvati-43, Andhon ki duniya-43, Rajkamal’s Maali-44, Narsinh Avatar-44, Banwasi-48, Daulat-49, and Bhishma pratidnya-50. Meantime,he wrote songs for films Aap ki sewa mein-47 and Adalat-48. He did few more films with Homi Wadia and then he started his fantasy films with Wadia. For this, he was trained in Fencing and Horse riding. He worked with Shakeela in 18 films-mostly costume films of C grade. He worked with Meenakumari (4 films), Nirupa Roy (4), Shyama (6), Anita Guha (11) etc
In the 50’s decade,which was the peak for Mythological films with 124 films, his 70 films were released.In the 60s,he did 33 films-including Navrang and finally he did 19 films from 71 to 83. He did total 143 films. Mahipal spent his retired life with family and friends. He died on 15-5-2005. ( Bio adapted from ‘Inhe na bhulana’ Gujarati book by Harish Raghuwanshi ji, with thanks)
Today’s song is sung by Geeta Roy. At this time, she was still new and trying to get hold in film industry. You will love the song and her fresh voice.
