A few months back, I stumbled upon a Blog on blogpost.com with a caption, ‘Arjun Hingorani’. This was the only post which was dated March 28, 2010. More or less the similar post appeared on wordpress.com with a caption, ‘Arujunhingorani’s Blog’. The Blog had only one post dated March 29, 2010, introducing himself as producer-director-actor and the spiritual author. His last qualification surprised me. So, I read the entire post in which he wrote about his early life in Jacobabad (Sind) before partition, the difficulties he faced after migration to India, his stint with Hindi film industry and finally turning to his spiritual journey to Vrindavan near Mathura where he spent his last years. I was familiar with his name since his film, ‘Kab? Kyon? Aur Kahaan?’ (1970) was released and about his film titles with ‘KKK’. It was only when I read his Blog post, I felt that he needed to find a place in our Blog.

Today’s song is from the film Lajawab-1950.

The song in this post is from the ‘1973’ movie ‘Double Cross’. I had mentioned it in my earlier post with a song from this movie, that I have memories of watching this movie somewhere in 1975-1976 at a small town Malkapur (on the Akola-Bhusawal rail route) in Maharashtra. The song ‘main jhonkaa mast hawaa kaa’ that I presented from this movie, was the only thing that I am able to associate with this movie. I had no recollections about the story of this movie and other songs till I became associated with this blog in 2012.

Once I post the century post in the blog, I heave a big sigh of relief and tell myself that I am free from tension as the next century post is far far away. So it came as a surprise to me that the next cenbtury post for the blog has arrived. I thought that the previous blog century post had appeared just a few days ago ! How can we reach the next century so fast ? On checking up, I realised that the previous century post viz blog post number 18500 has appeared on 14 september 2024. Today is 3 November, so fifty days have passed. 100 songs in 50 days are to be expected, even with the slow rate of posts that we have settled into now a days.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –11

Having covered the songs of Mukesh under the composition of Usha Khanna, I was always curious to list the duets of Usha Khanna and Mukesh.

No, it is not just picking up the duets from the table in the above post as they also sang under other composers; albeit quite a few songs.

While going through the filmography of the music director, Vanraj Bhatia recently, I found that he had done the music composition mostly for the off-beat or ‘middle of the road’ films, including those of Shyam Benegal’s films. Among his Bollywood masala films which are few, ‘Surkhiyaan’ (1985) was one of them which came as surprise to me because a couple of songs from the film which I had heard long back, sounded to me like that of R D Burman. The title of the film gave the hint that the story may have something to do with print media. With Naseeruddin Shah as a lead actor, I thought that the script of the film would be good for him to agree to work in the film. I watched the film a couple of days back on this assumption.
