Manoj Kumar (24.07.1937 – 04.04.2025) is synonymous with Bharat Kumar, yes! but he was much more. He was involved in multiple branches of film making – acting, production, direction, editing, writing (story, dialogues, lyrics). He has given many memorable films in various capacities. And very rightly he was honored with awards, and accolades time to time in his life journey. He was conferred with the highest award for films i.e. the ‘Dadasaheb Phalke Award’ in in ‘2015’. Earlier he had won the National Award for his movie Úpkaar’ in 1967, which was awarded as the second-best feature film of that year. He won the Filmfare awards in different categories viz as Best Actor for the film ‘Be-imaan-1972’, Best Director Award for the movies “Upkaar-1967″’and ‘Roti Kapadaa Aur Makaan-1974’, Producer award (with others) for “Upkaar-1967” and the award for Best Story and Dialogues for “Upkaar-1967”. He won the award for Best Editing for the movie ‘Shor’ and finally the Filmfare ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ for films in ‘1999’. No other film personality has won four awards for a single movie. What is more interesting is that he was also nominated for the ‘Best Actor’ award for the same movie i.e. “Upkaar-1967”.

Today’s song is from the film Gumashta-1951.

Gumashta is an Urdu word. Being from and having grown up in Hyderabad, I know the meaning of this word, from my childhood. In those days the family Doctors did not charge the patients every time they visited him. Instead, he used to note his charges in a diary, where a separate page was reserved for that patient. At the end of every month, the total was done and a man was sent by the doctor to the patient’s house to collect the amount. That man was called ” Gumashta” or a Bill Collector.

‘Jaadoo Nagri’ (1961) was produced by Ram Dayal under the banner of Mukul Pictures and was directed by Radhakant. Cast included Ranjan, Vijaya Chowdhary, Ramayan Tiwari, Helen, Majnu, Kammo, Shammi, Mridula, Tuntun etc. The VCD of the film is available online but quality of both the video and audio is not good. A feature of this ‘black and white’ film is that all the songs have been picturised in colour.

Today’s song is from the film Zindagi ke mele-1956.

This was a social film having an ordinary story, without any famous or top star. The only good thing about this film was its Music Director – Chitragupt, the king of melody. If at all the producer had got back all his money invested, he should be thankful to Chitragupt for his music, otherwise nothing special was there in this film.

‘Parmaatmaa’ (1978) seems to be a forgotten film now. I do not remember to have heard the name of the film during my younger days. The film was produced by Kuljeet Pal under the banner of Parashakti Pictures and was directed by Chand. The star cast included Shatrughan Sinha and Rekha in the lead roles with Pradeep Kumar, Aruna Irani, Imtiaz Khan, Ranjeet, Dev Kumar, Jagdish Raj, Chand Usmani, Helen and Komilla Work in the supporting roles. Probably, this was Shatrughan Sinha’s first film in a lead role and that too the first time he paired with Rekha in a lead role. It appears that the film took a long time to get a theatrical release as I find that song album on LP was issued in 1976 and the film was released in November 1978.

Today (14 March 2025) is Holi, the festival of colours.

The legend of Holi is known to all Indians. The name of the festival Holi is derived from the name of Holika, the asuri who tried to help her brother Hiranyakashyap in his bid to kill his Vishnu Bhakt son Prahlad who would refuse to acknowledge his father as the supreme God.
