‘Toofaan Mein Pyaar Kahaan’ (1966) was produced by S H Munshi and was directed by Phani Majumdar. The cast included Ashok Kumar and Nalini Jaywant in the lead roles supported by Jayshree Gadkar, Lata Sinha, Sailej Prakash (debutant), Madhumati, Achala Sachdev, Tarun Bose, Tiwari, Sundar, Bhagwan Sinha etc.

In this film, I was impressed with the performance of Lata Sinha which reminded me that I had also seen her in many other films without knowing her identity. From her name, I guessed that Lata Sinha was from either Bihar or Jharkhand. I checked the cast of many Bhojpuri films but did not find her name. However, I found that she was the lead actress in the first Maithili film, ‘Kanyadaan’ (1965). She had also acted in a supporting role in the first Magadhi (Magahi) film, ‘Bhaiyya’ (1961). The common factors in both the regional films were the producer, S H Munshi and the director, Phani Majumdar, the same combination for the film under discussion.

From her filmography, I find that Lata Sinha has acted in as many as 40 Hindi films during 1955-79. With her long presence in Hindi film industry, it is surprising that very little information about her early life is available online. It is also surprising that she suddenly vanished from Hindi film industry. The only information I could get from Mike Burnum’s website, ‘Cinemajadoo’ is that Lata Sinha was the daughter of yester-year actress, Shobha Devi who had acted in supporting role in ‘Daawat’ (1943) and in lead role in ‘Jeena Sikho’ (1946) among others.

It may be observed from the filmography that Lata Sinha started her filmy career as a child artist, Baby Lata in ‘Barsaat Ki Ek Raat’ (1948), ‘Shikhar’ (1955), ‘Riyasat’ (1955) and ‘Nau Do Gyaarah’ (1957). Lata Sinha got her first adult and the lead role in ‘Ham Bhi Insaan Hain’ (1959). However, after this film, she was seen in only supporting roles such as ‘Chaudhvin Ka Chaand’ (1960), ‘Bees Saal Baad’ (1962), ‘Taj Mahal’ (1963), ‘Benazir’ (1964), ‘Bhoot Bangla’ (1965). ‘Main Wohi Hoon’ (1966), ‘Shikaar’ (1968), ‘Heer Raanjha’ (1970) ‘Raja Jaani’ (1972), ‘Insaaniyat’ (1974), ‘Apnaapan’ (1977) etc.

Coming back to the film under discussion, I have already given the film’s story in detail while discussing the song, le pee zaraa uar pee. However, just to refresh, I give below the gist of the story which is as under:

Shamu (Ashok Kumar) is a truck driver of Mahajan (Tiwari), a smuggler who indulges in business of smuggled good across the border with Sikkim. Although Shamu feels bad about serving Mahajan for his smuggling activities, he has to do this for taking care of Rami (Achala Sachdev), a Tibetan and her daughter as promised by him at the time of the death of her husband.

In a different village, Shanta (Nalini Jaywant) is being readied to depart for her marriage with Raimohan (Tarun Bose) against her wish. She runs away from the house. Shamu gives her shelter in his den in an adjoining room with a condition that she should find a different place to stay as his den is full of bad people. Shanta finds Shamu a kind-hearted person. Next day, Mahajan visits the den, Shanta introduces herself as the wife of Shamu for her own safety.

Pulma (Jayshree Gadkar), who runs a tea shop and is in love with Shamu, does not believe that Shanta is Shamu’s wife. By now Shamu has fallen in love with Shanta and has decided to propose her for the marriage. One day, Shamu sees a letter written by Raimohan to Shanta about their impending marriage. He assumes that Shanta is in love with Raimohan, and he has no right to ask for hand in marriage. Next morning, before Shanta could explain to Shamu about the notoriety of Raimohan, she finds that Shamu has left the place with Pulma.

Raimohan with the help of Mahajan conspire to kidnap Shanta to sell her across the border at a high price. Shanta now takes shelter in Rami’s house from where she is kidnapped by Raimohan and Mahajan. When Shamu comes to know about Shanta’s kidnapping, he takes out his truck with Pulma and follows the jeep in which Shanta is being taken. While driving on a jig jag hill road, the jeep roles down from road to valley killing Shanta, Raimohan and Mahajan. While consoling Shamu, Pulma reiterates her love for him.

In ‘Toofaan Mein Pyaar Kahaan’ (1966), Lata Sinha was almost like a second lead actress along with the debutant Sailej Prakash. Three out of eight songs were picturised on Lata Sinha, the same number as that for the lead actress, Nalini Jaywant. The songs were written by Prem Dhawan which were set to music by Chitragupt. Four songs have been covered on the Blog.

I present the 5th song, ‘goree itnaa bataa tera lagtaa hai kyaa’ rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and Usha Mangeshkar who sings for Nalini Jaywant and Lata Sinha respectively. Video clip has partial song while audio clip has the full song.

I am not able to give the exact context of the song as the film’s VCD is found to be heavily edited and the song suddenly appears on the screen. From the lyrics coupled with the preceding scenes in the film, my guess is that now it has been known to Shanta’s (Nalini Jaywant) friends that she is in love with Shamu (Ashok Kumar). So, while bathing in the river, her friend, Billu (Lata Sinha) teases her to let her know as to who is the person visiting her in her dream in the midnight. But after the end of the song, it is an anti-climax for Shanta as Shamu has already read the letter written by Raimohan (Tarun Bose) to Shanta about their impending marriage. So, instead of proposing marriage with Shanta, Shamu is in search of Raimohan to unite him with Shanta, without knowing his antecedent.

Enjoy this sweet song of the friendly banter between Lata Sinha and Nalini Jaywant on the screen.

Today’s song is from the film Service Limited-1939.

It was a Sagar Movietone presentation, directed by C.M.Luhar. Music was by Anupam ghatak – a famous and popular Bengali composer. The cast of the film consisted of Surendra, Maya Banerjee, Bibbo, Yakub, Harish, Kalyani, Zia Sarhadi, Bhudo Advani, Kanhaiyalal and his brother Sankatha Prasad and other Sagar regular artists.

Film Service limited-1939 was a Social cum Crime cum Mystery cum Comedy film. After the initial enthusiasm of making Mythologicals and Parsi Theatre type costume dramas, film makers of the late 30s started trying to present films based on imported themes or comedy films. While films were made on works of authors like Agatha Christie etc, there were directors who tried their hands on offbeat entertaining themes.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-12

Today’s duet composition by Rahul Dev Burman is from the 1996 movie ‘Ghatak’ or ‘Ghaatak’. This movie was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi who also produced this movie for his home productions ‘Santoshi Productions, Bombay’. It was passed by the Censor Board on 01.11.1996.

In the last post under this series we had a song from the 1993 movie ‘Aaja Meri Jaan’. No movies with R D Burman’s music were released during 1994 and 1995. Though the movie ‘1942 A Love Story’ is mentioned as a movie of 1994, it was actually certified by the Censor Board on 31.12.1993. So it is obvious that it was released in the theatres in 1994. (However as per non-documented but strictly adhered 🙂 to SOP of this blog, we now need to correct the year of ‘1942-A Love Story’ as 1993 on this blog 🙂 ).

The cast of ‘Ghatak-1996’ included Sunny Deo, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Danny Dengzongpa, Tinu Anand, K.K. Raina, Anjan Shrivastava, Amrish Puri, Om Puri, Mamta Kulkarni, Mukesh Rishi, Ila Arun, Viju Khote, Harish Patel, Brij Gopal and others. Music for this movie was composed by R.D Burman and Anu Malik. Since R.D Burman passed away during the making of the film, Anu Malik was roped in to record the remaining one song for this movie. This movie has five songs and total six sound tracks including a ‘theme music’ track composed by R.D Burman. Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the songs for this movie. Playback singers for this movie are Suresh Wadkar, Sadhna Sargam, Alka Yagnik, Shankar Mahadevan, Anu Malik, Kavita Krishnamurthy, and Asha Bhonsle.

Before coming to the song, I would like to talk about the film itself. I remember going to see it at Chandragupt Talkies, one of the then popular single screen cinemas of Indore with my brother and enjoying this movie. That cinema is long gone like many other single screens but I still remember the josh of going to that huge cinema hall. Indore which came in the MP circle used to have this unique thing that the cinemas would get displayed on Thursdays (most other circles actually screened the movie the next day on the Friday). There would be huge queues to do advance bookings in those cinemas. Sometimes, we would have to request passing by girls and ladies to stand in the ladies queue to get tickets fast!

Today’s song is from a Religious film- Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu-1953.

Consequent to the grand success of the film BAIJU BAWRA-1952, the Prakash Pictures of the Bhatt brothers came out of its financial crisis, making a handsome profit and regaining its fame. For their next film, they repeated the Hero of Baiju Bawra – Bharat Bhushan and resorted again to their comfort zone of Religious/Mythological film Genre.

For a change, this time they opted for a story on a Saint from Eastern India. They hoped, perhaps, to recapture the Hindi film market in the Eastern Territory, which had suffered due to the closed outflow of Hindi films from New Theatres, Calcutta, which was on the verge of closing down totally. To attract the East India audience,they even hired R.C.Boral- one of the major supporters of New Theatres from its beginning- as the Music Director of this film.
