Hullo Atuldom

21st December is the birthday of an actor who made his debut in films in 1986. Though the first film he signed was ‘Tan Badan’, first film for which he started shooting was ‘Love 86’ in June of 1985. ‘Ilzaam’ (release date 28th February 1986) & ‘Love 86’ (release date 14th February 1986) released before his firstsigned ‘Tan Badan’ (release date 25th April 1986).

He was born as the youngest of 5 children and was given the pet name ‘Chi-Chi’ (meaning little finger). His father was former actor Aroon (alias Arun Kumar Ahuja) and singer-actress Nirmala Devi was his mother. He belongs to an ethnically mixed family, as, through his father, his grandfather was Punjabi while his grandmother was Sindhi, but he himself identifies more with his Punjabi side. His paternal side ancestry can be traced to Gujranwala in undivided India & his maternal side had its roots in Varanasi, U.P.

Aroon (Arunkumar Ahuja) came to Mumbai (Bombay back then) to become an actor in the late 1930s. He is best known for appearing in Mehboob Khan’s Aurat (1940). Aroon’s professional career as an actor lasted for 15 years, from 1939 to 1954. In these years, he worked as a hero in 30 films. He produced one unsuccessful film which caused financial loss. The family, living in a bungalow on Mumbai’s Carter Road, moved to Virar, a northern Mumbai suburb. Hence, he wanted his children to be educated before associating with films.

Did I mention that I am writing about Govind Ahuja whom Hindi film fans know as Govinda. He saw ‘Disco Dancer’ (1982), which inspired him to practise dancing for hours. He then made and circulated a promotional VHS cassette to all producers. He was offered jobs in a some commercials. He was offered the role of Abhimanyu in the popular mythological serial Mahabharat (1988) during its casting and he even had auditioned for it. But he was signed by his uncle Anand (born Uday Narayan Singh, we have seen him in a few Hrishikesh Mukherjee films- for example in ‘Golmaal’ as one of Amol Palekar’s friends) for ‘Tan Badan’ which became Govinda’s debut in Hindi Films. And, this actor, Govinda, went to on entertain film goers for the last 39 years. He has seen a lot of ups-n-downs in his career but has been majorly admired for his dancing & comic timing; I would like to add that he is very good in emotional as well as actions scenes. He is still very active and may he continue to do so.

For today’s post I would like to present a song from his first released film (as per date of film releases):- “Love 86”. It was directed by Esmayeel Shroff & produced by Pranlal Mehta. It had Tanuja playing mother to Neelam & Farha (she had not started adding Naaz to her name then). Tanuja’s estranged husband was played by Shafi Inamdar, Asrani played her secretary. Satish Shah & Ravi Baswani played bumbling cops. Rohan Kapoor (singer Mahendra Kapoor’s son) & Govinda played young men who have taken to petty crimes to survive. The young brigade encounter each other, fall in love & manage to keep meeting with lots of help from the father of the girls; the mother opposes as she wants the girls marry brothers from wealthy families so that the girls can stay together in the same family. The movie is a love story so all will be well in the end.

The film had six songs penned by S. H. Bihari (3), Santosh Anand, Sameer & Prem Pandit (one each). Suresh Wadkar, Shailendra Singh, Shabbir Kumar, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Mohammad Aziz, Hemlata & Anuradha Paudwal were the playback singers used.

Today’s song happens when the boys have managed to hoodwink the mother & get permission to go out on a drive with the girls. The bumbling cops, who have been suspended because of the antics of the boys are on the trail of the couples, in disguise of course!

Before I conclude the post I would like to thank my daughter for my first encounter with this blog, through this song post. This opened a whole new world for me, where I could raise ‘farmaishes’ and post my two-bit knowledge as comments.

Atulji, the man behind this blog was kind enough to post one of my mails to him, which had the lyrics of a song from ‘Taxi Taxi’ & I progressed from a commenter to a lyrics contributor, with these songs:-

Jeewan mein hamsafar milte to hain zaroor,

Laayee kahaan hai zindagee

Atulji’s action of converting another mail of mine, which was for the birthday of child actor,(turned adult) Master Satyajeet’s birthday, into this post made me a guest poster on the blog.

Since that post in September 2012, I have slowly moved to a few hundred posts. Here are the songs that accompanied my century posts:-

Century post Song Movie (Year) Date Remarks
100th post Har aadmee ko biwi ka ghulaam hona chaahiye Hiraasat (1987) 6 November 2015 Remembering Sanjeev Kumar on his death anniversary

600th post Hulchal machaa dee toone hulchal Main Solah Baras Ki (1998) 3 December 2023 Remembering Dev Anand on his death anniversary

I must also mention that I have come across many knowledgeable film lovers who are store houses of knowledge after I became a regular follower of the blog. I should thank Atulji for making me a part of this elite world which I love to call Atuldom. I have learnt to enjoy songs for the singing, writing & composition after becoming an Atulite; before 2009 I associated songs with the images accompanying them. I know the background stories with the songs, along with finding versions of some popular songs that I would have otherwise overlooked as being vintage or pre-historic songs; I would like to mention the Ashok Kumar sung version (as an example) of ‘ek chatur naar’ here which I would have labelled pre-historic. 🙂

In this short write-up, I present a duet song, ‘gulaabi nazaare nazaare gulaabi’ rendered by Mohammed Rafi and Suman Kalyanpur from an obscure film, ‘Lakhpati’ (1991). It was the only film produced and directed by Jal Baliwala. The film was certified by Censor Board on April 5, 1991, but it could not get the theatrical release. Later, the film was released on VCD. I have given the story of the film in my earlier article while covering the song, nashe mein choor nazar hai mujhe.

The musical composition of at least three songs including the one under discussion gives a feel of the golden period of Hindi film music of 1960s and I am not completely off the mark. Music director, Iqbal Qureshi came into prominence in the 1960s. Lata Mangeshkar was not singing with Mohammed Rafi in most part of 1960s. The song under discussion is a duet of Rafi with Suman Kalyanpur.

Ta’areef uss khuda ki jis ne jahaan banaaya – Non-Film Song (Jagjit & Chitra Singh)

तारीफ़ उस ख़ुदा की जिस ने जहां बनाया
कैसी ज़मीं बनाई क्या आसमां बनाया

पांव तले बिछाया क्या ख़ूब फ़र्श-ए-ख़ाकी
और सर पे लाजवर्दी इक साएबां बनाया

मिट्टी से बेल-बूटे क्या ख़ुशनुमा उगाए
पहना के सब्ज़ ख़िलअत उन को जवां बनाया

ख़ुश-रंग और ख़ुशबू गुल फूल हैं खिलाए
इस ख़ाक के खंडर को क्या गुलिस्तां बनाया

मेवे लगाए क्या क्या ख़ुश-ज़ाएक़ा रसीले
चखने से जिन के मुझ को शीरीं-दहां बनाया

सूरज बना के तू ने रौनक़ जहां को बख़्शी
रहने को ये हमारे अच्छा मकां बनाया

प्यासी ज़मीं के मुंह में मेंह का चुवाया पानी
और बादलों को तू ने मेंह का निशां बनाया

ये प्यारी प्यारी चिड़ियां फिरती हैं जो चहकती
क़ुदरत ने तेरी उन को तस्बीह-ख़्वां बनाया

तिनके उठा उठा कर लाईं कहां कहां से
किस ख़ूब-सूरती से फिर आशियां बनाया

ऊंची उड़ें हवा में बच्चों को पर न भूलें
इन बे-परों का उन को रोज़ी-रसां बनाया

क्या दूध देने वाली गाएं बनाईं तू ने
चढ़ने को मेरे घोड़ा क्या ख़ुश-इनां बनाया

रहमत से तेरी क्या क्या हैं नेमतें मयस्सर
इन नेमतों का मुझ को है क़द्र-दां बनाया

आब-ए-रवां के अंदर मछली बनाई तू ने
मछली के तैरने को आब-ए-रवां बनाया

हर चीज़ से है तेरी कारीगरी टपकती
ये कारख़ाना तू ने कब राएगां बनाया

In this article, I am presenting a song, ‘suno aye duniyawaalon ek naya paighaam laaya hoon’ from an incomplete film, ‘Naya Mandir’ (1961). It was directed by Kishore Sahu. It had Manoj Kumar, Mala Sinha and Mehmood in main roles. I came to know of this song on the audio album of ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983). Unfortunately, this song seems to have been deleted from the VCD of the film available on one of the video sharing platforms. Since video clip of the song is available in continuation of the scene from ‘Film Hi Film. (1983), it can be construed that the song was included in the film.

Shahab Ahmed, the producer of ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983) had earlier produced ‘Cinema Cinema’ (1979). During his visit to Bombay Film Laboratory, he was astonished to see cans of more than 2000 unfinished films lying in the laboratory. Shahab Ahmed thought that a lot of efforts had gone into making these films which unfortunately remained incomplete for various reasons. So, he came with the idea of incorporating scenes and songs from a few select incomplete films to make a full-length feature film [Source: ‘…and Pran’ (2005) by Bunny Rueben].
