This song post marks the 100th song of actor-singer Surendra in the blog as a singer.

Today’s song is from an 86 year old film Service Limited-1939.

The film was made by Sagar Movietone, which was on the peak of its existence from where it was soon to fall down. If one falls down from the first floor, the injuries are not fatal and soon he returns to normal life but falling from the 20th floor, the life becomes unrestorable ! In 1939, Sagar had made 7 films, 5 of which became successful. Unfortunately, this was also the year when the downfall of the company took place. I will not repeat this painful process, which was triggered by the owner Chimanlal Desai’s gambling habit and his bad luck ! It has been discussed here several times. Sagar movietone closed and Chimanlal became a partner in National Studios. Later this too was abandoned by him and a new company- Amar pictures was started.

6300 Post No. : 19500

The previous post published earlier today was post number 19499. Eagle eyed regulars may have also noticed that today was 6300th day for the blog. So, going by past experience, they must be expecting the blog century post today.

They are not wrong, of course. When I noticed that we were approaching 6300th day for the blog, I decided to coincide that with blog century post. That meant I had to slow down from the usual rate of posts (3 to 4 posts a day) for a couple of days.

It is not the first time when blog century post has appeared on such a round hundred day for the blog. 18700th post had appeared on on 6000th day. Earlier 16900th post had appeared on 5000th day of the blog.

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.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
(Yippeeee to ‘Bhool Na Jaanaa (Unreleased)-1970)
———————————————————

Today’s song is from an unreleased movie ‘Bhool Na Jaanaa-1970’. Music for this movie was composed by Daan Singh. In Geet Kosh the banner of this movie is mentioned as Integrity International. There is no information about the director of this movie or its cast. But luckily there is detailed information about its songs which is that this movie has seven songs. Geet Kosh leaves a space with dots assuming that there would have been more songs for this movie but which are not known and neither available I guess. This movie had made its debut on this blog on 24.09.2010 where in our editor Atul jee had posted the first song from this movie. Thereafter five more songs from this movie have been covered on this blog taking the tally of the songs of this movie to six. All the five posts after the debut post were presented by our Sudhir jee covering rare information about this movie and information about the composer -who remained an unsung hero in the history of Hindi Cinema.

The blog keeps achieving various landmarks in due course of time. Some landmarks are more frequent than others. The blog completing a century of songs is the most noticeable and most frequent landmark. We have seen as many as 193 such landmarks. With this post, we arrive at the 194th blog century mark. Put simply, this song post is the song post number 19400 for the blog.

There are some other kind of century landmarks too that we achieve from time to time. One such landmark is century of songs by artists, or century of songs by guest contributors. As many as 85 artists (39 Music directors, 33 lyricists and 23 singers have touched century posts each. In some cases, these artists have even reached several thousands of posts. In other words they have achieved many centuries for themselves. For example, Lata Mangeshkar has more than 4000 song posts in the blog as a playback singer.

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.

Today’s Sulochana Kadam song is from the 1950 movie ‘Bheeshm Pratigya’. It was directed by Vasant Rao Painter for Vishal Chitra, Bombay. This mythological movie had Nargis, Shahu Modak, Mishra, Mahipal, Poornima, Nimbalkar, H. Prakash, Kamlakant, Moti Beena, Kumar, Meenakshi, Kusum Thakur and others in it.

This movie has seven songs. S.K. Pal was the composer and Manohar Khanna wrote the lyrics of these songs. Geeta Roy, Sulochana Kadam and Asha Bhonsle were the singers in this movie. Geet Kosh doesn’t mentions singer’s names for three individual songs. Singers for the other four songs are Geeta Roy (two songs), Sulochana Kadam and Asha Bhonsle (one song each).

We in this blog have achieved several milestones, but this milestone is something in its own league. Today we are celebrating a humongous individual milestone. With this post, Lata Mangeshkar reaches 4000 songs as a playback singer in this blog !

More than one decade ago, She had touched 1000 songs in the blog as the blog itself touched 3000 songs. Imagine, today she alone touches 4000 songs in the blog.

I had run a series on Lata Mangeshkar’s songs (yearwise) in the blog. That series, which ran every monday for 63 weeks (viz for one year and three months). In that series we had an indepth look at the list of songs that Lata Mangeshkar had sung in Hindi movies.
