Hullo Atuldom

21st December is the birthday of an actor who made his debut in films in 1986. Though the first film he signed was ‘Tan Badan’, first film for which he started shooting was ‘Love 86’ in June of 1985. ‘Ilzaam’ (release date 28th February 1986) & ‘Love 86’ (release date 14th February 1986) released before his firstsigned ‘Tan Badan’ (release date 25th April 1986).

He was born as the youngest of 5 children and was given the pet name ‘Chi-Chi’ (meaning little finger). His father was former actor Aroon (alias Arun Kumar Ahuja) and singer-actress Nirmala Devi was his mother. He belongs to an ethnically mixed family, as, through his father, his grandfather was Punjabi while his grandmother was Sindhi, but he himself identifies more with his Punjabi side. His paternal side ancestry can be traced to Gujranwala in undivided India & his maternal side had its roots in Varanasi, U.P.

Aroon (Arunkumar Ahuja) came to Mumbai (Bombay back then) to become an actor in the late 1930s. He is best known for appearing in Mehboob Khan’s Aurat (1940). Aroon’s professional career as an actor lasted for 15 years, from 1939 to 1954. In these years, he worked as a hero in 30 films. He produced one unsuccessful film which caused financial loss. The family, living in a bungalow on Mumbai’s Carter Road, moved to Virar, a northern Mumbai suburb. Hence, he wanted his children to be educated before associating with films.

Did I mention that I am writing about Govind Ahuja whom Hindi film fans know as Govinda. He saw ‘Disco Dancer’ (1982), which inspired him to practise dancing for hours. He then made and circulated a promotional VHS cassette to all producers. He was offered jobs in a some commercials. He was offered the role of Abhimanyu in the popular mythological serial Mahabharat (1988) during its casting and he even had auditioned for it. But he was signed by his uncle Anand (born Uday Narayan Singh, we have seen him in a few Hrishikesh Mukherjee films- for example in ‘Golmaal’ as one of Amol Palekar’s friends) for ‘Tan Badan’ which became Govinda’s debut in Hindi Films. And, this actor, Govinda, went to on entertain film goers for the last 39 years. He has seen a lot of ups-n-downs in his career but has been majorly admired for his dancing & comic timing; I would like to add that he is very good in emotional as well as actions scenes. He is still very active and may he continue to do so.

For today’s post I would like to present a song from his first released film (as per date of film releases):- “Love 86”. It was directed by Esmayeel Shroff & produced by Pranlal Mehta. It had Tanuja playing mother to Neelam & Farha (she had not started adding Naaz to her name then). Tanuja’s estranged husband was played by Shafi Inamdar, Asrani played her secretary. Satish Shah & Ravi Baswani played bumbling cops. Rohan Kapoor (singer Mahendra Kapoor’s son) & Govinda played young men who have taken to petty crimes to survive. The young brigade encounter each other, fall in love & manage to keep meeting with lots of help from the father of the girls; the mother opposes as she wants the girls marry brothers from wealthy families so that the girls can stay together in the same family. The movie is a love story so all will be well in the end.

The film had six songs penned by S. H. Bihari (3), Santosh Anand, Sameer & Prem Pandit (one each). Suresh Wadkar, Shailendra Singh, Shabbir Kumar, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Mohammad Aziz, Hemlata & Anuradha Paudwal were the playback singers used.

Today’s song happens when the boys have managed to hoodwink the mother & get permission to go out on a drive with the girls. The bumbling cops, who have been suspended because of the antics of the boys are on the trail of the couples, in disguise of course!

Before I conclude the post I would like to thank my daughter for my first encounter with this blog, through this song post. This opened a whole new world for me, where I could raise ‘farmaishes’ and post my two-bit knowledge as comments.

Atulji, the man behind this blog was kind enough to post one of my mails to him, which had the lyrics of a song from ‘Taxi Taxi’ & I progressed from a commenter to a lyrics contributor, with these songs:-

Jeewan mein hamsafar milte to hain zaroor,

Laayee kahaan hai zindagee

Atulji’s action of converting another mail of mine, which was for the birthday of child actor,(turned adult) Master Satyajeet’s birthday, into this post made me a guest poster on the blog.

Since that post in September 2012, I have slowly moved to a few hundred posts. Here are the songs that accompanied my century posts:-

Century post Song Movie (Year) Date Remarks
100th post Har aadmee ko biwi ka ghulaam hona chaahiye Hiraasat (1987) 6 November 2015 Remembering Sanjeev Kumar on his death anniversary

600th post Hulchal machaa dee toone hulchal Main Solah Baras Ki (1998) 3 December 2023 Remembering Dev Anand on his death anniversary

I must also mention that I have come across many knowledgeable film lovers who are store houses of knowledge after I became a regular follower of the blog. I should thank Atulji for making me a part of this elite world which I love to call Atuldom. I have learnt to enjoy songs for the singing, writing & composition after becoming an Atulite; before 2009 I associated songs with the images accompanying them. I know the background stories with the songs, along with finding versions of some popular songs that I would have otherwise overlooked as being vintage or pre-historic songs; I would like to mention the Ashok Kumar sung version (as an example) of ‘ek chatur naar’ here which I would have labelled pre-historic. 🙂

Today’s song is from the film Jhamela-1953.

This is my 1700th post on this Blog. I am very pleased with this landmark. At the age of 86 years, if I am able to write so many articles, it is nothing less than God’s Blessings. This century is the third century I have achieved in a single year i.e. in 2025 ! The 15th century came on 28-1-2025, the 16th century came on 28-5-2025 and now the third century came today, on 13-10-2025. What a coincidence !

Starting my career as a medical Representative in Glaxo Laboratories, I retired in 1998 as the General Manager- Marketing and today I am a Director in 2 well known Pharma companies. After my retirement I ran my own Consultancy firm for 10 years and then I left the Pharma industry with 40 years’ experience.

This post is my 100th on Atul Song A Day blog created by Atul Ji and well supported by a bunch of film & music enthusiasts.

I started this journey on 20/01/2014, with Rafi Saab song “Chup chup chup kyun baithhi ho ” from Hamrahi 1974.

Since then lot has happened in terms of my family structure (going from being parents to two boys – to becoming grandparents to two cute and chubby kids – a boy, Arjun and a girl, Takshavi), to downsizing our house (from a 5 bedroom house to a 3 bedroom house – because the children moved out in 2016 & 17), to changes in my physical structure, from being a full bodied person to becoming an amputee (1. having lost all my toes on my left foot).

On my health front, I also got diagnosed with and treated such from Breast Cancer.

However, I have always maintained a never say die attitude. Full marks to my wife, Sharwari, who has stood behind me as a rock, making it possible for both of us to face all these life challenges.

This post is in memory of legendary singer Mukesh on his Remembrance Day (22 July 1923 to 27 August 1976).

The post is also in memory of arguably Mukesh’s greatest fan and compiler of Mukesh Geet Kosh, Shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji(15 October 1949 to 27 August 2024), who passed away on the same day and month last year (on 27 August 2024).

At the outset, as I pen down my 100th post on this unique blog, I take the opportunity to express my heartfelt and sincere thanks to Atul ji for providing this platform on a platter for Hindi Film Music aficionados to not only contribute thoughts on films and songs but also flex flairs for writing.

Today’s song in memory of Mukesh and Harish ji is easily available but is unique in the sense that the details about the making of this song are not available in public domain.

(Celebrating Saawan-2025-11)
——————————-

Nowadays I am presenting saawan songs from Hindi films that were so far missing from the blog. In this process I am coming across surprises on a daily basis. I am discovering some great compositions.

Everybody has his/her own preferences in music. As for me, I mostly enjoy those creations that I had not listened to earlier.

While looking for songs thst I had never heard before, I got to listen to these songs and I noted them down to be used for my write-ups. That is how I got to listen to these songs, by specifically searching for them, something that most normal music lovers are not likely to do.

Today’s song is from the film Lalkar-1944.

This is my 1600th post on this Blog. This is the fastest century. From 1500 to 1600, it took me only 119 days ! For me, it is like a dream. I still can not believe that I wrote 1600 articles on this Blog alone. Add to it another 100+ articles on other blogs and sites. Add to it 10 printed books published. Add to it scores of books mentioning me and referring to my writings. Add to it countless friends I have gained in the last 12 odd years. Add to it…..

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # # Dhan Daulat-1980#
——————————————

Today’s song is from the ‘1980’ movie ‘Dhan Daulat’. I never watched this movie in those growing years of mine. And later also I did not get any opportunity to watch it on video or elsewhere. I had noted that this movie was made available on an OTT platform, may be few months back, but now it has been removed from there due to ‘rights’ issue. Moviegoers and music lovers are aware of the most popular song from this movie i.e. the song ‘jeenaa kyaa ajee pyaar binaa’. I too remember to have frequently heard this song either on radio or loudspeakers then. From the remaining songs of this movie the song ‘ho jaaye phir us din kaa jo waadaa hai’, & ‘khudkushi karne dil mein iraadaa kar liya maine’ are also familiar to me. I became aware of the song ‘shikwaa na tumse koi’ when it was posted on the blog under the blog ten-year challenge in 2020. The fifth song from this movie is the song under discussion. I do not remember to have listened to this song before corona years 2020. I have been listening to this song many times ever since and I ave like this song very much.

This is my 1500th article on this Blog !

It’s difficult for me to believe that in a span of 148 months or 4440 days I wrote 1500 articles on one Blog alone. Articles written on other Blogs and sites are not included in this. Those are about 200. Add to it my 9 books already published (5 Solo and 4 co-authored). Over 500 film reviews and comments on this and other Blogs which are about 700 +. Being a methodical person, I have kept records of all these. Learning ABCD of work on Computers at the age of 70 years, I could do all this at this age is the Greatest Blessing of the Almighty. Thanks to Him !
