Today (25 july) is the death anniversary of G S Kohli. He is one of those unsung music directors who deserved to get far more opportunities than what he actually got. In the few movies where he gave music, he has created awesome music. Who can forget the music of movies like “Faulaad” (1963), “Shikari” (1963) and “Namaste Jee” (1965).

Taatarstan is an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation, which is situated along the banks of the River Volga, and to the west of the Ural Mountains. Historically, this is a small kingdom that was absorbed into the USSR after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, as an autonomous republic. The original inhabitants, called the Tataar or Taatari people, belong to the ethnic Taatar group from the old Turkistan (modern day Turkey), who spread out over a large part of East Europe in the eighth century AD. As a part of this migration, a group of enthnic Taatari people settled down at the banks of River Volga, and established the original Taatari kingdom.

Here is another fun song from the film “Minister”. Two months ago the post another song “Aji Biwi ko ghar pe bitthla ke” from this film appeared in the blog. The song I am discussing now will be the third song from this film. This is a “telephone song” sung by Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhosle. Music is by Madan Mohan and Lyricist is Rajendra Krishan. Unfortunately, I dont recognise the two actors who are lip synching this song. The song is funny enough, just like “mere piyaa gaye rangoon”. Bhagwaan Dada is seen only briefly during the song. Telephone songs have their own appeal as the the singers are required to be on the opposite ends of the line. But in this song, though it starts in a telephone booth and ends there too, the protagonists are singing it with each other and roaming around outdoors.
