Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.130
————————————————————————————–
On this date ten years ago (30 May 2013), three songs from three different movies (plus one Non film song) were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-
Post No | Song Title | Name of the movie | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|
8147 | O dilruba sun tujhpe mera dil nisaar hai | Mastaani (1955) | 5 songs covered out of 12 by now |
8148 | Tere poojan ko bhagwaan | Shamshad Begam NFS(1934) | |
8149 | Aap ne apna banaaya meharbaani aap ki | Dulhan Ek Raat Ki(1966) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now |
8150 | Le matki aaja Radha ri | Do Dil (1947) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now |
We observe that two movies (out of three) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with only one unYIPPEED movie that is eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (30 May 2023).
That BTYC eligible movie is “Mastaani”(1955).
“Mastaani”(1955) was produced and directed by Dhirubhai Desai for Sharad Productions, Bombay. The movie had Nigar(Sultan),Manhar(Desai), Shahu Modak, Rathnamala, Niranjan Sharma, Agha, Suryakant,Seeta Bose, Santhosh Kumar, N.Bhushan, Dilip, Roop Kumar, Mishrilal, B.N.Bali etc in it. In addition there were guest appearances by Kamal Indira Bansal, Jankidass, Yashodhara and Bhagwan.
“Mastaani”(1955) had 12 songs in it. Five songs have been covered so far.
Here is the sixth song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Shamshad Begam. Some unidentified male voice utters “hoy hoy” a few times, but despite that, this song is very much a Shamshad Begam solo. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan is the lyricist. Music is composed by B N Bali.
Only audio of the song is available. The song sounds like a dance song to me. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Debutant Movie- Ham Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin-1979)
——————————————-——————————————
Today we introduce the movie “Ham Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin-1979” on the blog.
I guess that this was an obscure movie of its time. My guess is that this must be a ‘dubbed movie’ from a ‘southern movie’.
“Ham Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin-1979” was directed by M.S. Gopinath for ‘Golden Eagle Films, Bombay’. It had Krishna, Jaya Chitra, Kavita, Vijay Lalita and others. HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) mentions only these four names under the cast of this movie.
As per HFGK Vol-V, the date of certification by Censor Board of this movie is 22.12.1979.
“Ham Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin-1979” has seven songs which were penned by two lyricist viz. Gopichand Kotwani (three songs) and Mukhtar (four songs).
Music for this movie was composed by Hari-Arjun.
Suresh Wadkar, Mahendra Kapoor, Dilraj Kaur, Meenu Puroshottam, Sushma Shreshtha, Preeti Sagar and Arjun Chhabra are the singers who had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
Here is the list of songs in this movie:-
SNo. | Song Title | Lyricist | Singer |
---|---|---|---|
01 | Un aankhon ka ye jaadu hai | Mukhtar | Suresh Wadkar |
02 | Ek ladki jawaan khubroo | Mukhtar | Mahendra Kapoor, Dilraj Kaur |
03 | Hal par ye gham kya hai chhodiye | Gopichand | Meenu Puroshottam, Sushma Shreshtha |
04 | Chehre ke pichhe hain bhed laakhon kisko pataa | Gopichand | Preeti Sagar, Arjun Chhabra |
05 | Jeena kya marnaa kya | Mukhtar | Dilraj Kaur,Preeti Sagar |
06 | Mujhko beete huye | Gopichand | Arjun Chhabra |
07 | Jab uthhaa dard | Mukhtar | Arjun Chhabra |
Both the lyricist Gopichand Kotwani and Mukhtar are new names for this blog. Same is the case for the singer Arjun Chhabra.
Today we present the first song from this movie “Ham Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin-1979” on the blog.
A movie with this same title “Ham Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin” released in “1958” has already been represented on the blog earlier.
So, we add one more movie to the ‘movies with same title’ group today.
Today’s song is written by Mukhtar. It is sung by Suresh Wadkar. Music is composed by Hari-Arjun.
Only audio of the song is available.
I would request knowledgeable readers to add more information about this movie and its songs.
Let us listen to the song now…

Hullo Atuldom
“Aakrosh” (1980) was directed by Govind Nihalani. Produced by Devi Dutt & NFDC. It had Vijay Tendulkar & Satyadev Dubey as writers; which meant that the film was either an Art film (meaning audiences fed on fantasy & escapist stories would not buy a ticket to see it) or at least a middle of the road film (meaning it showed the realities of the times in a not-so-harsh manner). I have never seen the film, so I don’t know what category it falls under. But various sites on the internet have classified “Aakrosh” as crime – drama.
The film had a cast of Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah, Smita Patil, Achyut Potdar, Amrish Puri, Mohan Agashe, Arvind Deshpande, Vinay Apte, Reema Lagoo etc.; indicating that the film must have been a performance-filled film complete with heavy & hard-hitting dialogues. Almost bordering on stage-like feel looking at the super actors present in the film. The songs were written by Vasant Deo & Suryabhanu Gupt. Ajit Verman was the music director, the film had three songs.
The film was based on some real-life incident of those times and was part of Vijay Tendulkar’s series of works based on explorations on violence. It was a scathing satire on the corruption in the judicial system and the victimization of the underprivileged by the able & the powerful. It showed the public prosecutor (I think Naseeruddin Shah played this part) discovering the harsh realities of the scheduled tribes of India, in the 1980s, when defending the case of a tribesman (Om Puri) accused of murdering his wife (Smita Patil).
I was sure with such a stark subject, there would have been no scope for any song-n-dance sequence in this film. But I was wrong. I discovered that there was a dance number; which would have been tagged as an item-number in today’s parlance. I discovered this song on 18-May-2017. What was so special that I remember this date so vividly?
That was the date, when the news channels broke the news of Reema Lagoo’s death. She was one of the many artists who was popular in all the entertainment formats- stage, films, television etc. She was born Nayan Bhadbhade and her mother Mandakini Bhadbhade was a stage actress. Nayan took to acting on stage as a student and her professional stage assignments continued even when she took employment. She became Reema Lagoo after her marriage to Vivek Lagoo in 1978. Reema and Vivek Lagoo have a daughter who is also an actress and theatre actress.
Reema debuted in films in 1979 with Jabbar Patel’s ‘Sinhasan’. If I am not wrong, “Aakrosh” was her Hindi debut, where she performed in the song with today’s post. ‘Kalyug’ produced by Shashi Kapoor was her next in Hindi which was followed by a few more until ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ (QSQT) & ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ (MPK) came along in 1988 & 1989 (respectively) and she became the lovable sweet mother who is always in support of her children. Along with these films, she was seen on Doordarshan in serials like ‘Khandaan’ but her portrayal of Kokila Kulkarni in ‘Shrimaan Shrimati’ (1994-1999) & Devaki Verma in Sachin Pilgaonkar’s (a.k.a Master Sachin) ‘Tu Tu Main Main’ (1994-2000) made her a darling of the audiences. And to think, she was just around 30 years of age when she played a mother to Juhi Chawla (QSQT) or Salman Khan (MPK).
Thinking of this lovely, sweet, cute lady whose career was cut short by her untimely death. She was busy shooting for serial till the previous day.
Today’s song is sung by Madhuri Purandare (never heard this name before), written by Vasant Deo and composed by Ajit Verman. The song shows that Reema Lagoo could dance too.
Song-Tu aisa kaisa marad (Aakrosh)(1980) Singer-Madhuri Purandare, Lyrics-Vasant Deo, MD-Ajit Verman

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————
The song in this post is from the movie ‘Apna Khoon Apna Dushman-1969’.
I do not remember to have heard the title of this movie or its songs in the past. Of late, I have been coming across many movies from the sixties where I am not aware either of the movie or it’s’ songs or both.
“Apna Khoon Apna Dushman-1969” was directed by Kamran for ‘Rainbow Films, Bombay’.
It was a ‘social genre’ movie as mentioned in HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970). This movie was passed by Censor Board on 07.10.1969.
The cast of this movie included Dara Singh, Sanjana, Kamran, Tiwari, Maruti, Meenakshi, Mumtaz Begam, Habib, Anjum, Dilip Dutt, Tun Tun, Fazal Khan, Khurshid Khan, and Shyam Kumar and others.
Dialogues for this movie were written by Farooque Qaisar who also wrote the lyrics for the songs of this movie.
Music for this movie was composed by Lala-Sattar.
This movie has four songs as per details given below.
SNo | Song Title | Singer/s | Posted On |
---|---|---|---|
01 | Tumhaari chaand si soorat pe hamko | Asha Bhonsle, Mohd Rafi | 19.11.2011 |
02 | Na aaya hamen pyaar karnaa na aaya | Asha Bhonsle | |
03 | Dilrubaa na sataa aa bhi jaa | Asha Bhonsle | |
04 | Chhappan chhuri hai mera naam | Asha Bhonsle, Usha Timothi |
This movie ‘Apna Khoon Apna Dushman-1969’ had made its debut on the blog on 19.11.2011. So far, that song remains the only song from this movie to be covered on the blog.
Today, let us listen to the second song from this movie. This song is a female duet song sung by Asha Bhonsle and Usha Timothi.
From the video of this song available on internet it is clear that this song is the last song to appear in the movie before the climax of the movie. I have not watched this movie but it seems to be a regular movie with ‘good vs. evil’ theme where the ‘good’ prevails in the end and the evil is defeated.
In the picturisation of the song almost the whole cast of this movie can be seen present. I am unable to identify the actresses performing on this song.
I would request knowledgeable readers to help identify these actresses.
As mentioned above today’s song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and Usha Timothi. Lyrics are by Farooque Qaisar and music is composed by Lala-Sattar.
Let us now enjoy the song …

Today’s song is from a special film – Gunsundari-1948.
I call this film a ‘Special’ film because this is one film in which the simple story was so original, interesting and so much a representative of the changing times in the country that this story inspired films in almost every language in India from the late 1920’s decade till even today (albeit in modern avatar !).
Chandulal Shah (later owner of Ranjit Studios), had first directed this silent movie GUNSUNDARI, in 1927, on his own story, under the banner of Kohinoor film company,Bombay. Even in those days it was a popular film.
After Talkie films started and Chandulal Shah had established his own studio-in partnership with Gauharjan Mamajiwala, a Heroine of several of his films and his consort for the next 40 years, he remade the film GUNSUNDARI once again in 1934. The cast of the 1934 film was the same as the 1927 silent film, namely Gauhar, Raja Sandow, Rampyari, R N Vaidya etc. Somehow Chandulal Shah had been fascinated by the film’s story.
After Ranjit studio and Sardar Chandulal Shah were in financial crisis (having lost 1 cr 25 lakhs in cotton trading, in one single day) and most of their properties were mortgaged, Producer Director Ratibhai Hemchander Punatar-who was Chandulal’s sister’s son and his chela, decided to make film Gunsundari once again. This time the film was made in Gujarati and Hindi simultaneously. The year was 1947. Due to partition etc the film was delayed and was released only in 1948.
Ratibhai had selected Kokila Balsara aka Nirupa Roy as the new heroine. After the shooting started, she was signed by Chandulal Shah for Ranjit’s film ” Lakhon mein Ek”. Since Gunsundari was delayed, “Lakhon mein Ek-1947″ got released first and it became Nirupa Roy’s FIRST Hindi film as a Heroine.
I remember having seen the film GUNSUNDARI-1948 sometime in the early 50s. The story was indeed very interesting for those times. A village simple girl is married to a modern type educated rich boy. He does not like this uneducated ‘gaon ki gori’ and he abandons her. The story is about how the girl gets educated and learns all modern things, yet impresses her in-laws with her traditional ways(unknown to the husband) and how she wins him back successfully. After the interval, the theatre used to vibrate with the clapping of the audience on every success of Gunsundari with her family and the husband.
Later on, as is the practice of Hindi film Industry, this theme was used in umpteen number of Hindi and various regional languages over a time.
This was also the First film of Nirupa Roy and Manhar Desai ( who was originally from a Goan family settled in Ahmedabad and his name was Malcolm Alfredo D’souza-a converted Christian). Later this pair starred in many Hindi and Gujarati films.
The director of this film was Ratibhai Punatar. He directed only 6 Hindi films – Gunsundari-48, Nanad Bhojai-48, Nili-50,Mann ka meet-50, Bahadur-53 and Daughter of Sindbad-58. He also directed 5 Gujarati films-all blockbusters and grossers. The Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema says about him…..Ratilal Hemchand Punatar (b. 1913) Gujarati-Hindi director aka Ratibhai Punatar. Born in Jamnagar, Gujarat. Production manager at Ranjit. Directorial début when, following the spectacular success of Ranakdevi (1946), Ranjit started subsidiary Ajit Pics to exploit the interest in Gujarati films. First major film, Gunsundari, remade Chandulal Shah’s pathbreaking silent film and remains, with Mehndi Rang Lagyo (1960) and Jesal Toral (1971), one of the Gujarati cinema’s biggest hits, the first one to tap a substantial urban audience for a Gujarati cinema until then restricted to semi-urban B film circuits. Third film Mangal Phera was also very successful, and continued the Gunsundari and Nanand Bhojai theme of a crumbling joint-family system faced with the values of a mercantile economy. Also made films based on Prabhulal Dwivedi’s folk theatre (Gadano Bel) and on e.g. D.N. Madhok’s popular novels.
The film was made by Ajit Pictures, Bombay- a subsidiary floated by Ranjit Movietone to exploit Gujarati film business. The cast of the film was Nirupa Roy, Manhar Desai, Dulari, Nazira, Ibrahim and many others. While this was Nirupa Ro’s first Hindi film as a Heroine, for Manhar Desai it was also his just the second film, the first being a C grade stunt film Toofani Sawar-1947, made by his classmate in Wilson College, Bombay N.C.Pandey.
Manhar Desai was a Gujarati Christian-real name Malcolm Alfredo D’souza. He was born on 3-8-1917. He used to stammer when he was a boy. He used to act and sing in dramas and due to his stammering style, he was very popular on stage. After completing High school, he ran away to Bombay to join Films, but could not even enter any studio, Disappointed, he returned to his home and restarted studies. He became normal with treatment. He joined Wilson college in Bombay for graduation. In college he started acting and singing on stage. He had a friend N.C.Pandey, who was also mad after films. He promised Manhar that if he becomes a Director, he will make Manhar a Hero. While in college Manhar married his classmate, who was from U.P.
In 1947, Manhar got a call from his friend N.C.Pandey, who was to direct a Hindi film. He made Manhar the Hero of this film and thus fulfilled his promise. Toofani Sawar-47 was the first film of Manhar Desai, in Hindi. He was invited to work in the film Gunsundari-48 ( Gujarati), opposite Nirupa Roy. The film was Hit and he acted in the next film Mangal Phera-49 with Nirupa Roy. This too became a Hit film in Gujarati and then there was no looking back. His next Hindi film was Madhosh-51 opposite Meena kumari. Following their success in Gujarati, Nirupa Roy and Manhar were paired in several Mythological films in Hindi. Films Naag Panchami-53 and Shivratri-54 made him a popular Hero in Hindi mythological films.
It is a coincidence that the Two film stars well known for Hindi Mythological films, namely Shahu Modak and Manhar Desai, both were Non Hindus and were Jew and Christian respectively.
Manhar Desai was fond of Reading. During breaks in shooting, he would catch up with his reading. He also was a good painter. Manhar worked in 106 Hindi films. His last film was Nal Damyanti-88. In the last phase of his career, he was disillusioned about working in films in this era, so he gave up working and retired. Manhar Desai died on 25-2-1992.
Today’s song is the 7th song from this film to feature here. It is sung by Ameerbai Karnataki and Chorus. Enjoy this melodious song composed by Avinash Vyas..

We all have heard of World Happiness Index. We have heard about it because this index gives India a very low rating. People in India who believe in this rating ironically do not believe in ratings that shows India in good light. On the other hand, there are people who wonder how India can be ranked so low when we see countries that appear in far more distress than India ranked higher than India.
There are not too many people who actually buckle down and try to go to the details of this world Happiness Index. Not even the media who report on this topic. I have been thinking of going to the depth of this World Happiness Index for quite some time but I was not able to find time. You see, people like me who are inherently happy most of the time cannot be easily persuaded to waste time analysing an Index that accuses you of belonging to a country whose population is unhappy. 🙂
Nevertheless, someone had to do the painful job of analysing this world Happiness Index. No one in India is seemingly interested so I have volunteered and I have done it. In this post, I will give my findings on this index.
World Happiness Index is published by “The Sustainable Development Solutions Network” of the UN. They release their annual report on 20 march which has been declared as International Day of Happiness.
The General Assembly of the United Nations in its resolution 66/281 of 12 July 2012 proclaimed 20 March the International Day of Happiness recognizing the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives.
The meeting was convened at an initiative of Bhutan, a country which recognized the supremacy of national happiness over national income since the early 1970s and famously adopted the goal of Gross National Happiness over Gross National Product.
World Happiness Index is compiled considering six characteristics to rank countries on overall happiness: GDP per capita, social support, life expectancy, freedom to make choices, generosity, and perception of corruption.
Factor | Source data | Remarks |
---|---|---|
GDP per capita | World Bank /IMF figures | Data can be considered objective |
Social support | Gallup polls | Data is highly subjective as well be discussed later |
Healthy Life expectancy | WHO figures | Data is objective |
Freedom to make life choices | Gallup polls | Data is highly subjective as well be discussed later |
Generosity | Gallup polls | Data is highly subjective as well be discussed later |
Perception of corruption | Gallup polls | Data is highly subjective as well be discussed later |
Let us discuss these factors in detail
Following two factors (out of six) can be considered Objective factors:-
Factor | Maximum to Minimum range | Remarks |
---|---|---|
GDP per capita | 2.200 to 0.000 | The GDP/capita is processed in a mathematically complicated mannner to arrive at figures where higher per capita nation gets assigned higher value. Luxembourg gets the highest value while Venezuela gets the lowest value |
Healthy life expectancy | 0.702 to 0.000 | The life expectancy figure is processed in a mathematically complicated mannner to arrive at figures where country with higher life expectancy gets assigned higher value. Hongkong has the highest figure whereas Mozambique gets the lowest figure |
I thought it was not possible to bungle in the above factors because figures for them are available on reputed sites. For example, GDP per capita is available on sites like World Bank, IMF etc. Likewise figures of Life expectancy are available on WHO site.
I notice that the country with the lowest GDP per capita in the Happiness chart is Venuzuela ! It defies logic. Venezuela per capita GDP is $ 7260 on PPP basis and $3460 on Nominal GDP basis in 2022. There are at least 50 countries behind Venezuela on GDP per capita basis. Such glaring error casts severe doubts on the authenticity of Happiness Index, at least for Venezuelans, if not for others. Had Venezuela’s rank been correct on GDP per capita basis, they would have ended up in top 30, instead of ending up at 89th position in the latest Happiness Index, (all other things remaining same).
I hope healthy life expectancy figures do not contain any such glaring errors.
The highest figure theoretically achievable for the above two factors is 2.200 + 0.702= 2.902. The lowest figure theoretically possible is 0.00. The actual highest achieved figures is 2.383 by Taiwan followed by USA of 2.370. So these two countries are the happiest if only GDP per capita and life expectancy rankings are considered. The actual lowest figures achieved on these two factors is 0.341 by Venezuela and 0.570 by Mozambique.
As discussed above, the faulty ranking of Venezuela in GDP per capita means that they end up at the very bottom when we add up its marks for the two factors.
As for India, India will be in 101th position with 1.411 marks. Pakistan with 1.238 will be at 109th position. Nepal 107th with 1.260. Bangladesh 97th with 1.487 marks. Sri Lanka 68th with 1.847 marks.
Now we come to the subjective factors. Unlike figures of GDP per capita and life expectancy which are collected and maintained by reputed world bodies with considerable experience and expertise, no well defined and accepted standards exist to measure the four subjective factors that form such a large part of World Happiness Index..Following are the four subjective factors that are considered while measuring happiness :-
Factor | Maximum to Minimum range | Remarks |
---|---|---|
Social support | 1.620 to 0.000 | Data is highly subjective as will be discussed later Iceland gets the highest rating Afghanistan the lowest |
Freedom to make life choices | 0.772 to 0.000 | Data is highly subjective as will be discussed later .Finland scores the highest Afghanistan the lowest |
Generosity | 0.422 to 0.000 | Data is highly subjective as will be discussed later. Indonesia scores the highest Georgia the lowest |
Perception of corruption | 0.561 to 0.000 | Data is highly subjective as will be discussed later. Singapore scores the highest viz it is least corrupt-Romania considers itself the most corrupt |
How were these figures arrived at ? Based on Gallup world polls (GWP). What are gallup polls? Gallup is an organisation that supposedly approaches a few people and ask them simple YES/ No questions. Based on the reply, the countries’ Social Support, Freedom to make choices, generosity and perception of corruption are measured and entire country gets branded. It is basically the opinion of the people polled. We know that opinions are not facts, but this World Happiness Index tries to pass off opinion of a few people as facts about a country.
Let us see what questions are asked. Under social support, the question anked is “If you were in trouble, do you have relatives or friends you can count on to help you whenever you need them, or not?”. The national average of the binary responses (0=no, 1=yes) to the Gallup World Poll (GWP) question is taken. In “social support”. India ranked an abysmal 121st is social support, but Pakistan and Bangladesh were even behind India as 123 and 132. Perhaps all these people are watchers of sad Hindi movies where society does not support the love birds. 🙂 I was under the impression that Asian countries with better social and family ties offers way more support to an individual in need than in Western countries where these ties are quite weak. Nevertheless, what people say in this poll matters in the happiness ranking , not the reality.
Under generosity, the question asked was -“Have you donated money to a charity in the past month?”. If the ansewr is yes, then the people of that counry are considered generous other wise miser. The fact that there are ways of being generous other than donating money, such as helping out by devoting time and effort, feeding hungry people free of cost etc does not count towards generosity as far as this happiness index “generosity” factor is concerned. When we look at the chart, we find that Nepal (one of the least developed countries in the world) which even today is getting loan from IMF is ranked at number 26 in Generosity. They consider themselves far more generous than G-7 countries with money like Germany (57), France (113), Japan(135) etc even though they do not lend any money to any other country. All they had to do was just to reply YES to the relevant generosity related poll and they leapfrogged most of the actually generous countries of the world. Likwise Pakistan (ranked 65) is considered more generous than China (88). 🙂 And we thought otherwise. 🙂
Freedom to make life choices is the national average of binary responses to the GWP question “Are you satisfied or dissatisfied with your freedom to choose what you do with your life?” Reply to this question throws up some hilarious rankings. Nepalese, who have hardly any options to chose from, feel that they have full freedom to make their life choices. So much so that they get a rank of 63 which is higher than USA (70) and Japan (71).
Perceptions of corruption are the average of binary answers to two GWP questions: “Is corruption widespread throughout the government or not?” and “Is corruption widespread within businesses or not?” Where data for government corruption are missing, the perception of business corruption is used as the overall corruption-perception measure. Perception of corruption polls are no less amusing. Myanmar is ranked 33 which is higher than the ranking of USA (38). Even Bangladesh at 40 considers itself less corrupt than South Korea (41), Israel (44), Spain (45) etc. In Indian sub continent, Sri Lankans consider themselves more corrupt than their other south Asian neighbours.
Theoretically the highest scoring country can score the maximum of 3.375 in the four factors (viz. 1.620 + 0.772 + 0.422+ 0.561= 3.375). The highest figure actually achieved under these categories is 3.018 by Finland followed by 3.016 by Denmark.
Likewise the worst scoring country can score a low figure of 0.000 + 0.000 +0.000 + 0.000=0.000. In reality the lowest scoring country in these categories is Afghanistan at 0.152 followed by Lebanon at 0.687.
When we combine the marks of two objective categories with the marks obtained in the four subjective categories then we get overall points under the six catogories. According to that, Singapore emerges first at 5.52 points, Denmark comes at number 2 with 5.503, Sweden is third at 5.492 , Norway is fourth at 5.486, Finland is fifth at 5.441, Israel 23rd at 4.782, USA is 25th at 4.769.
Among Indian subcontinent countries, Sri Lanka is 73rd with 3.817, Nepal at 96th with 3.173, India 101st with 3.057,Bangladesh 106th with 2.922, Pakistan is 114th with 2.649.
I can see vehement protests coming from some quarters because the World Happiness ranking shows India behind all its neigbours in general, and behind Pakistan and Bangladesh in particular.
I am going to explain how India fell behind Pakistan, Bangladesh etc despite outscoring them in the six categories. India was put behind Pakistan and Bangladesh by shifting the goalpost. Yes, those who create this world Happiness Index have kept a trick up their sleeve which they use to manipulate the ranking arbitrary at their whim and fancy. To achieve this manipulation, they have introduced another category called Dystopia + residual.
“Dystopia” is a hypothetical nation that scores the lowest under all categories. Dystopia represents the lowest national averages for each of the six key variables and is, along with residual error, used as a regression benchmark.
From the earlier discussion we have seen that “Dystopia” nation would achieve a score of 0.000 under the six categories. The country that comes the closest to Dystopia in our ranking seen so far is Afghanistan that scores 0.883. Next country after Afghanistan is Comoros with 1.847.
From the above explanation of Dystopia, one would assume that countries that score high marks (and are thus far away from the hypothetical country of Dystopia would have similar marks under the heading of Dystopia + residual. Likewise countries that score poorly under the six factors and are thus closer to Dystopia would be expected to score similar marks under the heading of Dystopia + residual. Not by a long shot ! We cannot be more wrong !
We find that countries that score very high under the six headings and countries that score abysmally can have similar scores under the heading of Dystopia + residual. On the otherhand Countries that have similar scores under the six categories can have vastly different scores under the category of Dystopia + residual. In fact, countries that were way behind after adding up their marks under the six categories were made to leapfrog other nations rather unfairly and arbitrarily.
Here are some examples to show the arbitrariness of all this.
Singapore that stood first in ranking when the scores of six categories were counted was given a score of only 1.067 in the category of Dystopia + residual. Denmark was given 2.084, Sweden 1.903, Norway 1.829 and Finland 2.423.
When this dystopia + Residual category figures were added to the sum total total of the six categories, Finland became the number one nation, whereas Singapore, for no fault of theirs was relegated from number one position down to 26th position. Israel, who were on a lowly 23rd position, jumped up to 4th because they were given a whopping 2.691 under the category of Dystopia + residual.
Let us see the above discussion in tabular form:
Country | sum total marks of six categories | Ranking after sum total of six categories | Marks given in the category of Dystopia + residual | Final marks | Final ranking | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Singapore | 5.520 | 1st | 1.067 | 6.587 | 26th | |
Finland | 5.441 | 5th | 2.363 | 7.804 | 1st | |
Israel | 4.782 | 23rd | 2.691 | 7.473 | 4th |
We have heard that Finland was number one in the happiness ranking for the fifth year in a row. How creditable, we are told. Now we know how they are achieving their number one ranking year after year. It is by using corrupt means. It has been done by awarding them very high marks and awarding the actual winner very low marks on the artificially and fraudulently created category of dystopia + Residual.
Let us now come to the changes in ranking of Indian subcontinent nations before and after Dystopia + residual marks.
Country | sum total marks of six categories | Ranking after sum total of six categories | Marks given in the category of Dystopia + residual | Final marks | Final ranking | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
India | 3.057 | 101st | 0.979 | 4.036 | 126th | |
Pakistan | 2.649 | 114th | 1.907 | 4.555 | 108th | |
Bangladesh | 2.922 | 106th | 1.361 | 4.282 | 118th | |
Nepal | 3.173 | 96th | 2.187 | 5.360 | 78th | |
Sri Lanka | 3.817 | 73rd | 0.625 | 4.442 | 112th |
We observe that Sri Lanka was 73rd and India was 101st in the happiness ranking. But those who publish the list had other ideas. They awarded low marks to India and Sri Lanka and such high marks to Pakistan and Bangladesh under Dystopia + residual that they rose above India. In their overenthusiasm, they awarded such high marks to Nepal that it reached a rank of 78th where it hardly belongs.
India finds itself behind Pakistan and Bangladesh, and also behind countries like Mali and Liberia, but then that was because Mali and Liberia were artificially granted huge points viz 2.070 and 1.869 respectively under the category of Dystopia + residual, otherwise they were at the bottom without the grace marks provided under Dystopia + residual.
The data for this happiness index 2023 is available in the excel sheet format at this link.
The relevant page containing the above data is this and this.
So, my conclusion is, this world happiness Index is a bogus ranking. It is hogwash, it is fraud. It should not be taken seriously. The people behind this ranking are taking people for a ride by creating a list that is based on dubious data where opinions of a few hundred people are used to brand an entire nation as happy or unhappy. When even that does not serve the purpose, they further move nations up or down the list by arbitrarily increasing or decreasing their marks in the column of dystopia + error which itself is a column created to manipulate the rankings.
Gallup methodology of poll shows that they take a poll of a few hundred people without doing any due diligence to ensure that their polls follows the principles of sampling. In a country like India, whose population is more than that of any continent (other than Asia), a truly representative sampling would run into at least 25 thousand people, may be a few lakhs, and it would take elaborate preparation and vast expenditure on the scale of Indian elections opinion polls. I do not think Gallup have bothered to spend so much time, money and effort while carrying out their polls in India, if at all they have bothered to carry it out. Had they done this exercise in India, this would have been a vast exercise and we would have known about it. But we do not know anything about it. So most likely, their poll in India has been an eyewash. Few people seem to have questioned their methodology. Most people interested in Indian affairs seem to have blindly believed this happiness ranking and they have used this ranking to bash the Indian government or it has been used to troll India and Indians.
Based on the above discussion, I feel that the world Happiness Index is not worth the paper it is printed on. Indians should stop giving credence to it because plainly speaking it is nothing but a fraud that has successfully been perpetrated for over a decade by now. Forget Indians, people worldwide should also question the people behind this Index. So far they have managed to avoid scrutiny and have continued on their own merry ways.
I hope readers will now gain some insight into the mechanism of this so called World Happiness Index. The creators of this index decide the ranking beforehand and then they artificially award points under the column of Dystopia + residual. It is the most corrupt methodology to make a list.
I have not yet analysed press freedom index, democracy index, human rights index etc. There too India is ranked low behind countries that have now press freedom, no democracy and no human rights. When I analyse them, I am sure I will find similar gory details there as well.
I have mentioned in the beginning of the post that I am by nature a happy person. My guess is that most readers of this blog are also like me. I feel that music lovers are by nature well adjusted people who find it easy to stay happy most of the time. Even our film songs are no different. In almost all movies of golden era, we had happy joyuos songs where actors would be seen singing and dancing, often for no apparent reasons. On other occasions, they are singing and dancing because it is some festival/ celebration. Indians have so many festivals, and so many occasions of celebration. And all those occasions finds people singing and dancing. If that does not count towards happiness index, that is the problem of the index makers. Indians are more happy than the Happiness Index makers can ever imagine.
Here is a happy song from a movie called “Dil Ka Raja”(1972).
‘Dil Ka Raaja-1972’ was produced by A K Nadiadwala and directed by P. Madhwan for ‘Nadiadwala Associates, Bombay’. The movie had Raj Kumar, Leena Chandavarkar, Ajit, Bindu, Jagdeep, Indrani Mukherjee, Randhir, Meena T., Sheikh, Surendra Rahi, Manjeet, Omkar, Pandit Iqbal, Jankidas, Uma Dutt, Rajesh, Maqbool, Master Anil, Master Ripal, and Waheeda Rehman (in special appearance) etc in it.
The movie had five songs in it. Two songs have been covered in the past.
While looking for a joyous song to go with this post on World Happiness ranking, I came across that song. I realised that I had last heard this song in 1972, when this song was quite a popular song. I loved this song, though I had no inkling which movie this song was from. Now more than half a century later, I find myself getting reunited with this song, like how it happens in a Manmohan Desai movie.
The song is sung by Rafi, Asha Bhonsle and Manna Dey. It is picturised as a joyous dance song on Raj KUmar (double role of father and son, Leena Chandawarkar and Jagdeep plus another person that I could not uidentify. I request our knowledgeable readers to identify the unidentified person. What a wonderfully lively and joyous song ! Enjoy !

Hullo Atuldom
Back after a gap of around one & half months.
Have been so active, doing various other activities, that for the first time, since 2009 (when I discovered the blog) and 2012 (when my first post appeared on the blog), I missed a few milestones (the 17,700th post) on the day it was posted. Also missed a post by Sudhir ji, which featured a song which I simply love to see “Wo Ladki Hai Kahaan“.
Also I missed writing posts on a few occasions for which I had drafts ready in my mind, but could not get down to writing or typing them. Occasions like the Hindu New Year (call them by any name- Ugadi, Vishu, Baishakhi, Cheti Chand etc.), birthdates and anniversaries of a few favourite celebs (Sachin Tendulkar, Rishi Kapoor, Irfan Khan, etc). Of course, there were posts on these special dates, just that I have been catching up on them over the last few days.
This last month and half, I have been attending a few weddings and landmark birthdays of my brothers & beloved Aunty (‘Kaaki‘ sounds more personal than Aunty). That meant hurried trips to Kerala & Mumbai (twice), and three days in Chennai. I managed to meet Guru ji on my first trip to Mumbai, but could spend only an hour with him. And saw he was preparing for his book ‘Forgotten Artists of Early Cinema and The Same name Confusion’ release. Feel so proud that I know him.
Getting to the purpose of this post- 3rd May is a special date in the annals of Indian Film Industry. It was on this date, in the year 1913, that Dadasaheb Phalke’s ‘Raja Harishchandra’, the first full length feature film produced in India, was premiered at Coronation Theater in Bombay. (The first ever film, projected moving pictures, was presented by the Lumiere Brothers in December 1895 in Paris, France).
Starting from that screening of the silent film ‘Raja Harishchandra’ till today, it is 110 years. We have had hundreds & thousands films made in almost all the Indian languages possible. There have been instances of films borrowing story ideas from our mythologies, folklore etc. Stories of India’s freedom struggle, biographies of leaders who were at the forefront at that time. The films made in India have converted novels, books into moving images that have left a permanent imprint in the minds of the enthralled fans. The list of ideas on which films are based are as varied as the framework of our country.
I have never felt the need to see films made in any other country, never had time to discover anything else. Of course, there have been a few English films that have crept into my list of films seen in my lifetime, these may add up to 15/20. But, largely, I have relished films made in Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu etc. In the days when Doordarshan was the sole home-entertainment source, I have even seen films in Gujarati, Bengali & Punjabi.
I know for sure that films were initially made in Lahore, Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, Kolhapur, Poona etc. Post 1947, Bombay, Madras & Calcutta (don’t know about Kolhapur & Poona) were the movie making centres with most South Indian language films being made in Madras. I am not sure about when Kerala, Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka and other states set up their own film cities. (I am expecting answers to all my doubts from the knowledgeable Atulites).
Just as story-ideas were exchanged between the films of all the languages, actors from one region were seen in films of other regions. That trend still continues.
Similarly, there has been a trend of bilinguals & trilinguals (movies made in two or three languages simultaneously) that is accepted by the audiences. And finally there are dubbed versions of popular films too. Even, this system has not been given up, and so we have ‘KGF’ (essentially a Kannada film), ‘RRR’ (Telugu), ‘Bombay’ (Tamil), ‘Roja’ (Tamil) being brought to the notice of the Hindi audiences by dubbing them. I would love to add instances of films from other languages too , but I am ignorant of these. I know for sure that ‘English Vinglish’, ‘Dil Se’, ‘PK’ have been dubbed into south Indian languages.
To celebrate the birthday of the Indian Film Industry I have chosen a song from the film ‘Doli Saja ke Rakhna’ (1998). This is Priyadarshan remaking Fazil’s (who normally made movies in Tamil and Malayalam) ‘Aniyathi Pravu’ (which directly translates as ‘Younger Sister Dove’). ‘Aniyathi Praavu’ was remade as ‘Premisthunnanu’ in Telugu, ‘Kadhalukku Mariyadhai’ in Tamil & ‘Preethigagi’ in Kannada. This is what made me feel ‘DSKR’ was an eligible option to celebrate the Indian Film Industry. It has Anupam Kher, Moushumi Chatterjee, Aruna Irani, Paresh Rawal, Mohnish Behl, Tej Sapru, Ninad Kamat, Suresh Menon, Umesh Shukla playing the family and friends to Akshaye Khanna and Jyothika. Amrish Puri had a special appearance in this film. Malayalam actor Innocent Vareed Thekkethala, known mononymously as Innocent, also made his Hindi debut in this film.
‘DSKR’ is also the debut film of Jyothika who was born in Mumbai in 1978. She starred in many South Indian films and became very popular too.
I would like to put in a few words about Innocent. He was a versatile actor who graced the Malayalam screen from 1972 and was seen playing characters that mostly brought a smile on the viewers face. He made an excellent foil, co-actor to all his co-stars and his pairing with KPAC Lalitha (who passed away in 2022) was well-received. His career of close to 700 films featured Tamil & Kannada films too. There were two Hindi films also, both made by Priyadarshan. He was also a writer, film producer and a politician. Innocent, who was born on 28th February 1948 died recently, on 26th March at the age of 75. He was a cancer survivor who took ill on 3rd March and died three weeks later. We can see him in today’s song in the uniform of an Army Colonel.
Today’s song is sung by Babul Supriyo & Srinivas. (Again meeting of artists from two regions). The song is composed by AR Rehman and written by Mehboob Kotwal (who is always credited as Mehboob).

ye khoya khoya rehta hai
ye din mein soya soya rehta hai
ye raaton mein uth uth ke yahi gaata hai

kahen kya yaaro tumse hum
tarram pum tarram pum tarramm pumm
chalo usko dhoondhenge hum
itni haseenon mein
chhupi ik aisi haseena hai

jaise karishma hai wo
dekha hai tumne
kaho kya usko oo oo oo
tarram pum tarram pum tarramm pumm

tarram pum tarram pum tarramm pumm
chalo usko dhoondhenge hum
pari hai wo hai hoor koi
jo dhaaya hai itna sitam

ये खोया खोया रहता है
ये दिन में सोया सोया रहता है
ये रातों में उठ उठ के यही गाता है
वो ले गई दिल
तर्रम पम तर्रम पम तर्रम्म पम्म
चलो उसको ढूँढेंगे हम
परी है वो है हूर कोई
जो ढाया है इतना सितम
नहीं वो तो कुछ और ही है
कहें क्या यारो तुमसे हम
तर्रम पम तर्रम पम तर्रम्म पम्म
चलो उसको ढूँढेंगे हम
इतनी हसीनों में
छुपी इक ऐसी हसीना है
के मोती सीप में हो जैसे
अंगूठी में हो
नगीना कोई वो
देखा है तुमने
कहो क्या उसको
हो ओ ओ ओ
जैसे नगीना कोई वो
देखा है तुमने
कहो क्या उसको ओ ओ ओ
तर्रम पम तर्रम पम तर्रम्म पम्म
चलो उसको ढूँढेंगे हम

दूध सी रंगत है
धुली हो चाँदनी से जैसे
कमाल के जैसी नज़ाकत है
करिश्मा है वो
खुदा ही का तो जो
देखा है तुमने
कहो क्या उसको ओ ओ
जैसे करिश्मा है वो
देखा है तुमने
कहो क्या उसको ओ ओ ओ
तर्रम पम तर्रम पम तर्रम्म पम्म
