Hema Malini had a double role of two sisters in the film.

The film was presented by Hema Pictures which gives the impression that Hema Malini was indirectly involved in the making of the film. Hema Malini’s niece, Madhoo made her debut in the film as Baby Madhu Malini. One of the highlights of the film was that the prominent dancers of that time, Helen, Padma Khanna, Laxmi Chhaya, Jayshree T. Bindu and Faryal, appeared in the film. Of course, there were dances of Hema Malini and Neetu Singh as well.

Moving ahead with the series on Asha Bhosle singing for actresses whose first names begin with the letter “A”, we come to Ashima Bhalla.

Ashima Bhalla, as is the case with many Hindi film actresses, comes from a military background on her paternal side. She acted in only a few Hindi films, and the total number of films in her career was not very large either. She made her debut in the Hindi film Pyaar Zindagi Hai (2001). In the same year, she also appeared in the Telugu film Daddy. Later, she went on to act in Tamil and Kannada films as well. Over time, she shifted her focus increasingly towards television serials.

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet #

Today’s song is from the 1973 movie ‘Phir Aayaa Toofaan’. It was directed by B.J. Patel for ‘People Pictures, Bombay’. This movie was produced by Dhanpatrai. I do not remember to have heard about this movie earlier or having watched it in my child hood. This seems to be lesser known movie. But this movie is available on internet and those interested can watch it there. Geet Kosh mentions this movie as a ‘social’ movies. However it seems to be a ‘c’ grade stunt movie.

The cast of this movie included Dara Singh, Madhu Malini, Anand Chani, Madhu Malandhar, Satyadeep, Shery, Surya Kumar, Gul Hamid, Rekha Chauhan, Radhabai, R.P. Sharma, Kamal, Ajit, Rahi, Gil, Neela, Mahendra Zaveri, B.M. Vyas, Miss Reeta, Master Virendra, Randhawa, Master Amrik Randhawa, Harbhajan Singh, Saudagar Singh, Lucky Ram and others. Story and screenplay of this movie was written by T. Rebello. And dialogues of this movie were written by G. Sethuraman. Editing of this movie was done by Baburao Barodekar.

For my next song we turn to a Lata Mangeshkar melody – “Sultana Mera Naam Hai” from Sangram (1976) which is a lively cabaret-style dance number composed by Bappi Lahiri with lyrics by Gauhar Kanpuri. It is a nightclub-oriented songs and reflects the changing musical trends of the mid-1970s, when Western rhythms and cabaret sequences had become popular in Hindi cinema.

Musically, the song combines a strong dance beat with brass instrumentation and a catchy refrain. Bappi Lahiri’s arrangement is energetic but not yet as disco-driven as the style he would become famous for a few years later. Instead, it sits somewhere between the traditional Hindi film cabaret of the 1960s and the emerging disco sound of the late 1970s.

Continuing the series on actresses whose names start with A and who have lip-synched to Asha Bhosle’s songs, we come today to Anu Aggarwal, the Aashiqui girl.

Anu Aggarwal arrived with a bang. Her very first film created a huge splash. I still remember the posters of Aashiqui (1990) when they were released. The posters showed a man and a woman hidden behind a jacket, apparently sharing a kiss behind it. Everybody was curious to know who the actor and actress were and what they looked like. The build-up was immense. The songs from the film were first aired on Chitrahaar. The very next day, they became the talk of the town, attracting both praise and criticism.

We now move on to the next actress whose name begins with an “A” and who has lip-synced to a song by Asha Bhosle. Today, we feature Anjala Zaveri.

Anjala Zaveri was launched in a big way through Vinod Khanna’s film Himalay Putra (1997). Since Akshaye Khanna was to be introduced in this film, a nationwide search campaign was conducted to find a suitable heroine for him. A similar kind of large-scale build-up had earlier been seen with Henna (1990), which benefited from it and became successful.

Anjala Zaveri was born in the UK into a Gujarati-speaking family. However, since Himalay Putra was not a major success, her acting career stalled before it could properly take off. The success that eluded her in the Bombay film industry was partially compensated by her work in the Telugu and Tamil film industries, where she remained active for the next eight years or so. In total, she appeared in 23 films: 7 in Hindi, 11 in Telugu, 3 in Tamil, and 1 each in Kannada and Malayalam.

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #

YEAR 1983-2

The song under discussion is from the movie ‘Painter Babu-1983’. It was a special movie for teenagers of those days like us.

Board examination for Xth were upon us and obviously that was uppermost in our minds. At the same time, we were not immune to the other topics of our interest, viz cricket, Hindi movies, and listening to Hindi movie songs on radio.

‘Painter Babu’ was being promoted on radio just as we were preparing for our board exams (of class Xth). Songs of this movie, that were frequently played on radio was a hot topic of discussion in my friend circle. The radio promotion of this movie had its intended effect on us and we became curious about this movie and its debutant lead pair. The fact this movie was produced by Manoj Kumar was in any case an added attraction. AThe fact that Manoj Kumar’s brother was making his debut (with three others also makingtheir debuts), had our friend’s circle excited about this movie. The music of this movie was composed by music duo Uttam Singh- Jagdish Khanna. These names were new for me. We finally got to watch this movie during tsummer vacations after our board examination was over.
