Today, January 5, 2025, is the 44th Remembrance Day of Ramchandra Narhar Chitalkar, popularly known as C Ramchandra as a music director and Chitalkar as a playback singer. He regaled the connoisseurs of Hindi film music with his melodious musical compositions in the 1950s and 1960s. He was the pioneer of introducing popular foot-tapping songs with western musical influence and western musical instruments like saxophone and guitar in his compositions as early as in the 1940s. At the same time, he was composing classical raag-based as well as folk-based songs. He was trained in Hindustani classical music for six years first under Vinayakbua Patwardhan and later Shankarrao Sapre.
Despite producing many melodious songs especially in the 1950s, it is unfortunate that C Ramchandra did not get any award – whether National Film Award or Filmfare Award as a music director. The first Filmfare Awards were announced in April 1954 for films released in 1953. But his film, ‘Anarkali (1953) was not in the reckoning for the best music director’s award. His film, ‘Aazaad’ (1955) and ‘Paighaam’ (1959) were nominated for the Filmfare Award in best music director category but did not win. But the fact remains that many of his melodious and rhythmic songs of 1950s are still popular among the current generation which itself is a great award to a creative genius.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 10
The sad and pensive songs have about 30% share in all Bollywood songs. Romantic songs will be a little above at 40%. This is a hazardous line of guessing data game. As there are 100% of them, the rest of 30% shall go in which account? They will be the inane, fillers, comic relief, or item numbers. There are less songs now then the golden era, so there is less or everything. Less of meaningless, song fillers, bathroom break type of songs.
Sad songs of ARR are a special breed. Most award winning songs of other musicians are sad songs, not so for ARR. ARR has more dance songs winning accolades. “Jai Ho” in ‘Slumdog Millionaire” is a case in point. I am not sure where to fit “chanda re chanda re”. It is a romantic song with dance/rhythm.
I am posting here a sad song here from the 2015 film “Tamasha”.One song from the film is posted in the blog. I believe I have seen this film in bits and patches, so cannot recall much.

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the famous line “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet” means names are mere labels, arbitrary conventions that do not define the essence or true quality of a thing (or person). Juliet says this to Romeo, lamenting that his family name (Montague) is the only barrier to their love, as his actual person is still wonderful regardless of that name.

Today’s song is from a social film – Suhag-1958.
This was a film dubbed from its Tamil version titled “Tang Malai Ragsiyam”. There was a Kannada version too, titled ” Ratnagiri Rahasyam”. Both the South Indian films were made simultaneously in 1957. The Hindi version was made in 1958. I have not seen this film. All 3 versions were directed by B.R. aka Budagaru Ramakrishnaiah Panthulu. For him this was his DEBUT film as a Director. Not only him, but even his assistant Director – Puttanna Kanagal made his DEBUT in direction. Before direction, both were mere actors. Even in later years, they appeared in a few films as actors.

Today’s song is from yet another Kalpanik (Imaginary) film -Son of Sindbad-1958.
Produced by Balwant Bhatt and Ram Kamlani, the film was directed by the younger brother of Balwant Bhatt – Nanabhai Bhatt. In Gujarat, ‘Nana’ means younger. His real name was Yashwant and his nickname was ‘Batuk’ (means smaller).

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-6
Today’s duet song which is composed by Rahul Dev Burman, fondly known as Pancham, is from the movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’. I have not watched this movie but when I browsed the list of its songs and listened to a few of them, this duet song sounded familiar to me.
This movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ was directed by Moeen Amjad for ‘Chetna Movies’. Shantilal J Sopariwala was the producer of this movie. The presenter of this movie was ‘Chetna Zarda & Co’ and in the title of this movie (in the version available on internet this credit for the presenter comes up with a picture of the container of its product i.e. ‘Zarda’ and printed on it is ‘Chetna Zafrani Zarda 131 flavored chewing tobacco’. 🙂
Those days movies showing tobacco products were not required to carry the statutary warning about the health hazards of these products that are mandatory now a days. This movie was passed by the Censor Board on 05.12.1988.
The cast of ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ included Mithun Chakravarty, Moon Moon Sen(as spelled in the titles of the movie), Shakti Kapoor, Girish Karnad, Kalpana Iyer, with Shobha, and Amrish Puri. Shubha Khote, Om Shivpuri, and Viju Khote had guest appearances in this movie while this movie introduced actor Manoj Verma. They were supported by Jalal Agha, Urmila Bhatt, Alka Nupur, Shantilal Suratwala, Monal Kriplani, Bhiku Verma, Tinu Verma, Kishan Thapa, Ranveer Raj, Kartik Dutt, Vasant Patel, and Jullien. Story and screenplay for this movie was written by Sachin Bhowmick and its dialogues were written by Akhtar-Ul-Iman. Editing of this movie is done by Anant Apte.
Playback singers for this movie are Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, and Shailendra Singh. This movie has six songs written by Anand Bakshi which were composed by R.D. Burman.
Rahul Dev Burman, the genius music director was going through a lean phase of his career during this period. Only six movies with his music were released in the year 1988. Here is the list of these movies with their status on this blog.

Today we introduce this movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ on the blog with this duet song sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. The song is picturised on Mithun Chakravarty and Moon Moon Sen. The picturisation of this song has taken place in scenic locations of Nepal (it can be deduced from the credits of the movie where various various authorities of Nepal have been thanked for their co operation).
Let us now listen to and enjoy this Pancham composition…

Today’s song is from the Mythological film Jai Mahadev-1955.
The film produced by Ratlal Vohra, was directed by Ramchandra Thakur. The Music Director was Manna Dey. The cast of the film had as usual, a long list of actors. Some main actors were Nalini Jaywant, Trilok Kapoor, S.N.Tripathi, Dar Kashmiri, Shyam Sunder, Jeevan, Rewa Shankar, Heera Sawant etc etc. There were 4 Guest Artists, which included Umakant Desai (who had done the role of Lakshman in 7 films on Ramayana Stories).
It is very sad that because of intentional wrong education for the last 200 years, we were made to forget all the details of our cultural lifestyles. Thankfully, nowadays some awakening is observed. Hopefully, we should be once again getting all the lost benefits once again.
