‘Shrimaan Shrimati’ (1982) was produced by B Nagi Reddy under the banner of Vijaya Productions and was directed by Vijaya Reddy. The cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Rakhee, Rakesh Roshan, Deepti Naval, Amol Palekar, Sarika, Dheeraj Kumar, Lalita Pawar, A K Hangal, Paintal, Naaz, Leela Mishra, Dinesh Hingoo etc with special appearances by Dr. Shreeram Lagoo and Ramesh Deo. The film was a remake of the Telugu film, ‘Tayaramma Bangarayya’ (1979) which was also remade in Tamil as ‘Sathya Sundharam’ (1981). This was B Nagi Reddy’s last Hindi film as a producer. It is interesting to note from his filmography as producer that his last four Hindi films had Sanjeev Kumar in the lead role with music director, Rajesh Roshan.

Today’s song is from the ‘Social’ film – Sara Jahan Hamara-1961.

I do not understand on what basis filmmakers give titles to their films. This film is categorised as a ‘Social’ film in HFGK. The film story has a murder, lootmar, girl trading, fighting, court, Jail and such things. Embedded in all this there is a Love story. In my opinion, the film should have been classified either as a stunt/action film or a crime/mystery film.

Anyway, it is always a mystery how the film makers decide the titles of their films. When I rummaged through the The Film Title index book (1931-2012) by Hamraz ji, I found some interesting titles.

This is my 99th post and I wanted it to be a Kishore Kumar song, as I have covered Mohd. Rafi Saab and Asha Bhosle in my past posts.

I could manage to find a song which fit my criteria of being rare and by Kishore Da. I hope you will enjoy this song!!!

Siskiyaan 1982 was produced and directed by Rana Jung Singh. It had music by Sapan Jagmohan. The songs were written by Naqsh Layallpuri and Shiv Kumar Saroj.

The movie starred Danny Denzongpa, Sonia Gill, Kalpana Iyer, Madhu Kapoor, Bhagwan, Narendra Chanchal, etc

Hullo Atuldom

“Hamjoli” (1970) was produced by Prasan Kapoor for Tirupati Pictures meaning it was Jeetendra’s home production. T. R. Ramanna was the director.

“”Hamjoli” was the remake of the 1964 Tamil hit ‘Panakkara Kudumbam’ (transl. Rich Family) starring M. G. Ramachandran. That film released on 24 April 1964, and ran for more than 150 days in theatres. The film was remade in Hindi in 1970 as ‘Humjoli’, in Kannada in 1978 as ‘Bhale Huduga’, and in Telugu in 1984 as ‘Intiguttu’. All versions except ‘Intiguttu’ were directed by the same director, T. R. Ramanna.

I had never heard of the film, ‘Ladies Tailor’ (1981). When I checked the cast, I could never imagined that Sanjeev Kumar was in the role of a ladies tailor. The film was produced and directed by Khalid Akhtar. The cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Reena Roy (in double role), Amjad Khan, Deven Verma, Pran, Aruna Irani, Bindu, Mukri, Raj Kishore, Urmila Bhatt, Manju Singh etc. Sharmila Tagore, Rekha, Moushumi Chatterjee and Parveen Babi appeared in cameo roles as themselves. The film belongs to light comedy genre with the background of Lucknawi cultural milieu. The film was released on March 21, 1981.

‘Kaanch Ki Deewaar’ (1986) was an obscure film which I came to know only recently. The film was produced by Kamal Chaudhary and M N Yasin and the latter directed the film. Both the names are new to me and this was their debut film. The cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Smita Patil, Amrish Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Om Prakash, Rajan Sippy (debutant), Purnima, Neelu Phule, Urmila Bhatt, Raj Mehra, Lalita Kumari, Murad, Madhu Malini, Jagdeep, Birbal, Hina Kausar, Jaishree T etc. The film was released on January 31, 1986, about three months after the passing away of Sanjeev Kumar.

It appears that the film took long time to complete or to get it released as I find that there is a song by Mohammed Rafi in the film who had passed away in July 1980. The film’s lead actress, Smita Patil had started working in the mainstream commercial films in 1981 by signing a spate of such films to prove that she can as well be a successful actor in such films. The same combination of producer and director had started one more film, ‘Waqt Kaa Sikandar’ (1996) when the film under discussion was delayed in getting released. It seems the second film failed to get completed or released.

#Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Qawwalis – Part-2 – Post-13)

(Debutant Movie – Sikkaa-1976)

Today I am presenting a lesser heard or never heard Qawwaalee song from the movie ‘Sikkaa-1976’. I do not remember to have discussed or heard about this title during my growing up years in the seventies. I became aware of this movie title through Geet Kosh Volume-V (1971-1980). It seems that this movie ‘Sikkaa’ was an obscure movie of its time, as the list of the songs of this movie didn’t appear familiar to me. But what piqued my interest is the title of this song and it being mentioned as a ‘qawwaalee’ song.

“Sikkaa-1976” was directed by Dilip Bose for ‘Mona Movies, Bombay’. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 30.12.1976. It had Anil Dhawan, Ambika Johar, Krishan Dhawan, Satyen Kappu, Helen, Aashu, Bhushan Tiwari, Mohan Choti, Rajan Haksar, Kalpana Shah, Agha, Dalda, Jugnu, Bholanath, Ratan Gaurang, Satish Khanna, Krishna Khanna, Pradeep Suri, Child artiste Dharmender and others. Child artistes Lovely, Kittu, and Soni make their debut in this movie and Nana Palsikar, Keshto Mukherjee and Anjana Mumtaz had special appearances in this movie.
