Producer-director-writer, Basu Chatterjee is one of the earliest filmmakers who brought up middle-class related issues on the big screen with films like ‘Saara Aakaash’ (1969), ‘Piya Ka Ghar’ (1971), ‘Rajnigandha’ (1974), ‘Chhoti Si Baat’ (1975), ‘Chitchor’ (1976), ‘Baaton Baaton Mein’ (1979) and many more. He has also made film with other genres of which ‘Kamla Ki Maut’ (1989) was critically acclaimed. But the film failed at the box office. He went back to his favourite genre of middle class family drama with light comedy, and made for Doordarshan a telefilm, ‘Hamaari Shaadi’ (1990). About 3 months back, Doordarshan uploaded the film in digital format on one of the video sharing platforms, with improved audio-visual quality.

Buddhadeb Dasgupta (11/02/1944 – 10/06/2021) has been a well-known director of many off-beat and ‘middle of the road’ Bangla films, some of which have earned him the National Film Awards and other awards. I was not aware that he had also directed 3 Hindi films, ‘Andhi Gali’ (1984), ‘Bagh Bahadur’ (1990) and ‘Anwar Ka Ajab Kissa’ (2014) until recently when I heard a song from his third Hindi film. The reason for this film’s obscurity was that it never got theatrical release though the film was certified by the Censor Board on September 8, 2014, for its India release. However, before that it was premiered on October 17, 2013, at BFI, London Film Festival. In October 2020, EROS NOW released the film on OTT platform. The cast consisted of Navazuddin Siddiqui in the main role with Makrand Brahme, Niharika Singh, Ananya Chatterjee, Pankaj Tripathi, Ekavali Khanna, Amrita Chattopadhyay, Masood Akhtar etc.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
———————————————————————
(Debutant Movie – Bedard-1982 – Lyricist – Naqsh Lyallpuri-1)
———————————————————

Today’s song is a gem of song which remained a lesser heard and lesser known song, which might be because it is from a movie few people are aware of. The title of the film is ‘Bedard’ which seems to be an obscure movie of its time. I like this song very much for its poetic value and the overall composition. it is sung by Bhupinder Singh and the song is composed by Kanti Kiran.

Hardly any information is available about the music composer Kanti Kiran, except that he had also composed music for the Hindi movie ‘Jhoom Uthhaa Aakaash-1973’. I had shared a few songs from this movie earlier here on the blog and liked them too.

We have read about Emperor Akbar having nine officials of extra-ordinary skills and calibres in various fields in his court who were called ‘navratnas’ (nine gems). Music director, Rahul Dev Burman also had ‘navratnas’ in his ‘musical court’. In fact, some of his fans put the numbers ‘ratnas’ close to hundred. Nonetheless, if I have to confine the numbers to ‘navratnas’ in his musical team having specialisation in various fields of music, they were Marutirao Keer (Tabla, Percussion), Basu Chakravarty (Cello), Manohari Singh (Clarinet, Flute), Bhanu Gupta (Harmonica, Rhythm Guitar), Bhupinder Singh (Guitar), Homi Mullan (Duggi, Secondary Percussions), Devichand Chauhan (Dholak, Tabla), Amritrao Katkar (Tabla, Secondary Percussions), and Ranjit Gazmer (Maadal). They were the core team of musicians who exclusively worked for S D Burman and R D Burman. It was only when they had spare time from Burman’s assignments, some of them did work for other music directors.

Azamgarh district lies in the Purvanchal part of Uttar Pradesh (UP) which is identified by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj as one of the 34 backward districts of UP. In the absence of medium and large industries in the district, the main source of income for the inhabitants is from the agricultural and allied activities. So, the size of the landholdings becomes a crucial part in generating income for the landowners. With the divisions in the large-sized joint families, most of the landholdings have got fragmented. Hence, there is motivation for those who continue to stay in the district to augment their landholdings, if necessary, by dubious ways, especially from the close relatives who have migrated to cities and have become the absentee landowners. One of the dubious ways of grabbing the land is to bribe the district revenue officials to declare the absentee landowners dead and grab their lands.

Hullo Atuldom

The blog has songs from “Shri 420” (1955), “Shrimati 420” (1956) & “Ustaad 420” (1969) – from which “Shrimati 420” is one short from being YYIIPPEEEED. Hindi films have a few more ‘420’ (char sau bees). There is a “Khiladi 420” which came in 2000 & “Chachi 420” which released in 1997. These are the 420/s that I know of, there may be one or two more films with ‘420’ in their title.

In this article, I have taken up for discussion an obscure film which had taken a long time to complete. The film had a censor certificate dated April 5, 1991, but it appears that the film did not get a theatrical release. Later, the film was released in the VCD format. I am talking about the film, ‘Lakhpati’ (1991). The film is available for viewing on one of the video sharing platforms.

Dussehra (Vijaya Dashami) is celebrated on the 10th day of Navratri festival. One of the common traditions during the celebration of Dussehra festival is the burning of the effigies of Raavan along with his son Indrajit and his brother Kumbhakaran, symbolising the victory of good over evil. However, there are few places in India where Raavan’s effigy is not burnt during Dussehra celebrations. On the contrary, Raavan is worshipped.
