Today’s song is from an obscure film called Paigham aka Message-1941.
The film was made by Chimanlal Desai’s banner Amar Pictures, Bombay. This Chimanlal Desai was the same person who had established Sagar movietone, along with Dr. Ambadas patel. In its time, Sagar was a famous studio, making several hit films. Chimanlal lost Sagar due this habit of gambling. The film was directed by his son Surendra Desai. Amar Pictures was named after the son of Surendra desai-Amar. Just being the son of a producer does not make one a good director. Surendra was an average director. His elder brother Virendra Desai was a good director, but he spoiled his own as well as Nalini Jaywant’s life, when he married the 16 year old Nalini. He was already married and had 2 children also.
Film Paigham 1941 had music by Gyan Dutt. The cast of the film included Sadhana Bose, Surendra, Anil Kumar, Protima Devi, Ansari, Sulochana Chaterjee and others. There were 11 songs in the film, written by Pt. Indra, Safdar Aah and Balam. There were 3 solos of Surendra and 3 duets with Sadhana Bose, 2 solos of Sadhana, 1 solo of Bulo C.Rani and 2 duets of Bulo C.Rani.

Continuing the series on actresses whose names start with A and who have lip-synched to Asha Bhosle’s songs, we come today to Anu Aggarwal, the Aashiqui girl.
Anu Aggarwal arrived with a bang. Her very first film created a huge splash. I still remember the posters of Aashiqui (1990) when they were released. The posters showed a man and a woman hidden behind a jacket, apparently sharing a kiss behind it. Everybody was curious to know who the actor and actress were and what they looked like. The build-up was immense. The songs from the film were first aired on Chitrahaar. The very next day, they became the talk of the town, attracting both praise and criticism.

We now move on to the next actress whose name begins with an “A” and who has lip-synced to a song by Asha Bhosle. Today, we feature Anjala Zaveri.
Anjala Zaveri was launched in a big way through Vinod Khanna’s film Himalay Putra (1997). Since Akshaye Khanna was to be introduced in this film, a nationwide search campaign was conducted to find a suitable heroine for him. A similar kind of large-scale build-up had earlier been seen with Henna (1990), which benefited from it and became successful.
Anjala Zaveri was born in the UK into a Gujarati-speaking family. However, since Himalay Putra was not a major success, her acting career stalled before it could properly take off. The success that eluded her in the Bombay film industry was partially compensated by her work in the Telugu and Tamil film industries, where she remained active for the next eight years or so. In total, she appeared in 23 films: 7 in Hindi, 11 in Telugu, 3 in Tamil, and 1 each in Kannada and Malayalam.

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
YEAR 1983-2
The song under discussion is from the movie ‘Painter Babu-1983’. It was a special movie for teenagers of those days like us.
Board examination for Xth were upon us and obviously that was uppermost in our minds. At the same time, we were not immune to the other topics of our interest, viz cricket, Hindi movies, and listening to Hindi movie songs on radio.
‘Painter Babu’ was being promoted on radio just as we were preparing for our board exams (of class Xth). Songs of this movie, that were frequently played on radio was a hot topic of discussion in my friend circle. The radio promotion of this movie had its intended effect on us and we became curious about this movie and its debutant lead pair. The fact this movie was produced by Manoj Kumar was in any case an added attraction. AThe fact that Manoj Kumar’s brother was making his debut (with three others also makingtheir debuts), had our friend’s circle excited about this movie. The music of this movie was composed by music duo Uttam Singh- Jagdish Khanna. These names were new for me. We finally got to watch this movie during tsummer vacations after our board examination was over.
