Today’s song – it is a Bhajan – is from the film Patit Paawan-(1955).
The “Same Name Confusion” is applicable not only to artistes and others working in films, but it fully applies to Film Titles as well. In fact, film titles are more of a culprit than the people working in films, because the incidence of repetitions is several times more in film titles. A field where the Same Name film is made in 7 different years is more dangerous than the same names of artistes, which may not be more than 3 or 4 operating in the same period to cause confusion. That is the reason a film should not be mentioned without its year in which it is censored/ released to avoid confusion.
Like many other films of SNC, today’s film Patit Paawan was also made twice. The first such film was made in 1933. When you hear the word ‘Patit Paawan’, you automatically complete the phrase with ” Sitaram”. The word Patit Paawan is associated with Shri Ram. This is based on a story that Ahilya, who was the wife of Rishi Gautam,was very beautiful and was cheated by Indra Dev. Smitten by her beauty, he comes disguised as Rishi Gautam, her husband and has a good time with her. When the real Rishi Gautam comes to know about it, he is so furious that he curses Ahilya and turns her into a stone and she would have to remain in that state till Sri Ram’s feet touched her when she would regain her human form. After a few years, Lord Shri Ram comes that way and his foot touches the stone and thereby frees Ahilya from the curse and she regains her human form. Thus, a Patit (the fallen one) is made Paawan (is purified), hence the name Patit Paawan for Shri Ram.
However, today’s film story is not about Ahilya, but it is about a devotee called Nama. More about it later. The story of Ahilya was made into a film “Patit Paawan ” aka Ahilya Uddhar”,in 1933. In this film Durga Khote was Ahilya, P.Jairaj was Indra and Krishnarao Gorey was Rishi Gautam. There is a very funny episode about this film.
Paidi Jairaj or P. Jairaj ( 28-9-1909 to 11-8-2000 ) was a very handsome and well built young man, when he joined films. After doing 11 silent films, he did his first Talkie, “Shikari” in 1932. It was produced by a Hyderabad based company-Eastern Films, acted in 170 films and went on to receive the Phalke award and Padma Bhushan in 1980.
In the early phase of Talkie films, there used to be, on average 15 to 20 songs in every film. It was compulsory for every Hero and Heroine to sing their own songs live( playback came in 1935 and became common in 38-39 only). To help the non-singer actors, studios used to keep trained classical experts. Otherwise also most Music Directors in those days were classical singers themselves.
Thus, Jairaj too was expected to sing songs. He did not like singing, because he was horrible at singing. The Music Director of the film Patit paawan-33 was Prof.B.R.Deodhar, who was a classical singer himself. (Later on he established a musical school). He was determined to make Jairaj sing a song. Finally a song was recorded and filmed-“prem magan sakhi”. Jairaj had sung it so badly that the song was removed from the film from the second show itself. Jairaj is probably the only Hero of those days who never sang in films. Even as a lip syncer of songs (after playback singing became the norm),Jairaj has sung less than 20 songs on screen despite acting in nearly 170 movies!
Film Patit Paawan (1955) was made by D.K.Films, owned by actor Sapru and his actress wife Hemavati. It had music by Jamaal Sen and the cast was Sapru, Sulochana, lalita Pawar, Sulochana Chaterjee, Hemavati, Ulhas, Vinod kumar, Jeevan, Dar Kashmiri and many others. The film was directed by Vasant Painter. Some readers may remember the early cinema producer and director Baburao Painter, but Vasant painter was not at all a famous name.
Vasant Anandrao Painter was born in a village near Kolhapur on 13-8- 1913. His father Anandrao, along with cousin Baburao Painter wanted to make films. Anandrao had bought a second hand Projector, which he turned into a Camera and shot a short film also. Unfortunately, Anandrao Mistry or Anandrao Painter died suddenly on 22-10-1915.Vasant Painter was only a 2 year old baby at that time. Baburao Painter went on to become the famous founder of Marathi films in the Silent Era.
By the time Vasant became 16 year old,the Silent film era was in full swing and many films were made in Kolhapur, Poona and Bombay. He had a liking for painting,so he picked up poster painting work,first in Maharashtra Film company and later in Prabhat film company when it was started in Kolhapur. Actually Damle and Fatelal were keen on helping him as he was the son of Anandrao, from whom they had learnt so many things. They called him to work in Prabhat. He did all jobs,including assisting in cinematography and direction.
His first break came when he was 33 year old. He got an opportunity to direct Prabhat’s film ” Gokul”-46 and later on ” Seedha Raasta”-47. After V.Shantaram had left Prabhat to start his own Rajkamal,Vasnt painter remained in Prabhat loyally, so he got the reward. Prabhat decided to make the film “Namdev” and Vasant was selected as a director. The cast was fixed and other arrangements done, but due to financial reasons the film was cancelled. Anyway, he got another opportunity. Actress Kamala Kotnis had floated a production company,Kamala Chitra Ltd..She invited Painter to direct her film,’Sati Ahilya’-49. Snehal Bhatkar was the MD.
Painter directed ‘ Bhishma Pratidnya ‘-1950. This was,probably, the only Mythological film Nargis had acted in, with Shahu Modak. His other films were, Murliwala-51, Devyani-52, Sajni-56, Patit paawan-55, Gokul ka chor-59, Pyar ki jeet-62 . Meanwhile he was producing and directing several Marathi films too. He won 9 awards,including the prestigious ” V.Shantaram Award”.
Vasant Painter died on 31-5-2006,leaving behind him 6 daughters and 1 son.
The cast of this film was very interesting. There was Sulochana (Latkar) and Sulochana (Chaterjee), Baby Uma and Uma Devi, a couple – Sapru and Hemavati and a sibling pair of Jeevan and Dar Kashmiri. There was also an old time Silent film hero Ganpat rao Bakre and an old time singer actor Parshuram. Baby Naaz (later a heroine in few B and C grade films and a Dubbing artiste for actress Sridevi’s initial films) as well as Master Vinod Kumar (later Hero Vinod Mehra). The producer of this film was Hemavati.
Hemavati. Hardly anyone knows who this actress was. She had done an important role of Mohini-the Club Dancer,a time pass love of Ashok kumar in the film-Sangram-50. Normal sources will not give any information on Hemavati,but for our readers,here is some information on her. Hemavati was a Marathi actress and an active worker of I.P.T.A. in Bombay.She was also a regular actress of Prithvi Theatres and had acted as the Heroine of Raj kapoor in the drama ‘Deevar’.
At IPTA, she met actor aspirant D K Sapru and they fell in love with each other. They got married in 1948. By that time she had acted in ‘Ghar ghar ki kahani’-47 with Nayampally,Jail Yatra-47,with Raj Kapoor,Mohan-47,with Dev Anand and a few other films.
After marriage, she completed Sangram-50, with Ashok Kumar and stopped working in films to raise a family. She had 3 children. Preeti Saproo became a Punjabi film actress. Tej Sapru acted in Hindi films and TV. Reema married Rakeshnath and became a successful screenplay writer of popular films.
Hemavati’s last film,however, was “Patit Pawan”-55,which she also produced for her husband. She died on 10-4-2005.
Now let us have a look at the film’s story……
The story of the film was built around Dama Shetty,who lived happily in a village with his wife Guniya,son Nama and daughter in law Raji. His son was married in his childhood only. Dama shetty was a very pious and good person who helped the needy. He was respected in nearby villages too. However Nama was opposite to him. He only played all day and never believed in God. Dama used to scold him so that he would improve. Instead,one day Nama ran away to the jungle to avoid father’s admonishments every day. He was found by a dacoit’s gang. Many years passed and now Nama was a famous and dreaded Dacoit. His wife was hoping that someday Nama would come back.
One day Raji came across Nama the dacoit. By now Dama Shetty had died. She told her about father’s death and gave him a lot of advice to give up bad life and worship God. Nama’s mind changed and he decided to reform himself. He felt that he was the cause of father’s death. Nama gave up everything and started worshipping God.However the village purohit Parshuram Bhagwat did not believe him and banned his entry into the temple. Nama stayed outside and prayed. That year there was a terrible famine in the area. Nama decided to ask God’s help by fasting and he started his jaap and fasted till he almost became a dying person.
Seeing his devotion God was pleased and it started raining heavily. Soon the villages prospered again and Nama the Patit (the fallen one) became Paawan (purified).
Today’s song is sung by Mohd. Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar.

Lyrics
jiski laagi lagan Bhagwaan mein

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2012-2022) – Song No. 64
————————————————————————————–
This date ten years ago (viz 7 July 2012) saw six songs from six different movies getting covered in the blog. Here are the details:-
| Blog post number | Song | Movie (Year) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6189 | Baadal dal se nikal chala | Hamaari Baat(1943) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 6190 | Taqdeer jagaa kar aayi hoon | Dulaari (1949) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 6191 | Hello hello hello mizaaj to huzoor ke hain achche | Minister (1959) | 3 songs covered out of 6 by now |
| 6192 | Ho gaye barbaad hum | Ramman(1954) | 5 songs covered out of 10 by now |
| 6193 | Haal e dil hamaara jaane na bewafaa | Shrimaan Satyawaadi(1960) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 6194 | Mere laadlon tum phoolo phalo | Sant Gyaneshwar (1964) | 5 songs covered out of 8 by now |
We can see from the above table that three movies (out of six) whose songs were covered ten years ago have since been YIPPEED. That leaves us with three movies wjose songs are still available to be covered. So these three movies are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (7 July 2022).
“Minister”(1959) was one of the eligible movies. It was produced by K M Khan and Begum Jaan and directed by Ramanlal Desai for Jahangir Productions. The movie had Sohrab Modi, Roopmala, Suresh, Jeevan, Bhagwan, Om Prakash, Tuntun, Murad, Sulochana, Baby Naaz, Gopi Krishna, Reshma, Jagadish Kamal, Narbada Shankar, Indira Bansal etc in it.
The movie had six songs in it. Three songs have been covered so far.
Here is the fourth song from “Minister”(1959) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Rafi , Lata and chorus. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Madan Mohan.
It appears that Madan Mohan was under instructions to compose an O P Nayyar like composition. That is what his song sounds like. O P Nayyar never used the voice of Lata Mangeshkar in his compositions. This song gives us an idea how Lata Mangeshkar would have sounded like in an O P Nayyar composition.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Lyrics of the song were set to me by Prakashchandra.

“Keechak Vadh”(1959) was produced in Marathi and Hindi by Balasaheb (P K) Pathak and directed by Yeshwant Pethekar for Manik Studios, Bombay. The movie had Baburao Pendharkar (Keechak), Sumati Gupte (Draupadi), Shobhna Samarth (Sudeshna), Vishwas Kunte, Vimla Kumari, Helen etc in it.
The movie had seven songs in it.Two songs have been covered in the past.
Here is the third song from “Keechak Vadh”(1959) to appear in the song. The song is sung by Rafi, Lata and chorus. Bharat Vyas is the lyricist. Music is composed by Master Krishna Rao.
I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song. From the sounds of it, this song could have been picturised on actors playing Arjun and Uttara, with Arjun teaching Uttara music under the disguise of Brihannala.

Hullo Atuldom
Day 1 of Sharad Navratr. Ashwin Navratr. Various names for the same festival, various ways to celebrate. I have received pictures of ‘Ghatta-sthapana’, ‘Devi Shailputri’, and of course the South Indian ‘Bomma Kolu’ (or Golu depending on your mother tongue). There is a lot of beauty in the manner in which we decorate our Gods and enjoy the festival. There are special offerings, poojas, archanas, bhajans and BHOJANS too (going by the name ‘Bhog’). Then there is the ever so colour raas garba in Western India, Gujarat and Maharashtra in particular. (May not be organised on a grand scale this year, as we are still worried about the consequences of the Pandemic. Grandeur can wait)
Here is a Devi Maa bhajan to kick-off the festivites. It is from the 1978 release ‘Khoon Ki Pukaar’, the synposis of which is there in this post. The movie was directed by Ramesh Ahuja for Tahir Hussain’s TV Films. It had songs penned by Hasrat Jaipuri and Gauhar Kanpuri and music director was Bappi Lahiri. Today’s song is sung by Mohd. Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar and on-screen, both, Pran and Vinod Khanna lip-sync to Rafisaab’s voice and Aruna Irani sings in Lata didi’s voice. We can also see Shabana Azmi and Reeta Bhaduri seated among the devotees of the temple.
As per what I have seen a few years back, this song is used by Amjad Khan (Daku Zaalim Singh) to send a message to Daku Sher Singh (VK); who is recovering under the care of pujari Baba (ex. Dr. Bhushan played by Pran); through Bijli (Aruna Irani). That should make viewers understand what Aruna Irani and VK are exchanging in sign language (‘ishaaron ishaaron mein’ sounds better, I suppose)
With this we also remember the ever oh-so-handsome and oh-so-good looking Vinod Khanna for his birth anniversary which was yesterday. He would have been only 75.

Hullo Atuldom
“Mehrban” (1967) as spelt in the titles of the movie was an AVM (Madras) production written and directed by A. Bhimsingh. It’s cast was headed by Ashok Kumar, Nutan, Sunil Dutt and had Ramesh Deo, Shyama, Ashim kumar, Jayanthi, Shashikala, Bharathi, Mehmood, Soodesh Kumar and Sulochana Latkar. The dialogues and lyrics were written by Rajinder Kishan and Ravi was the music director. The movie had seven songs of which the blog has the following two.
| Song | Date of posting |
|---|---|
| Ae mere dost ae mere hamdam | 21 January 2013 |
| Mera gadha gadhon ka leader | 9 December 2016 |
As we can see this movie last made its appearance in 2016 with a wonderful post by Rajaji who was pushed to write by Avinashji. Infact, for the both songs posted, Avinashji was the lyrics contributor.
The 2013 post had a brief synopsis of the movie. It equated the movie to the 1990 David Dhawan directed Rajesh Khanna- Govinda starrer “Swarg”. I happened to see “Mehrbaan” recently and realised that the similarity is limited. Yes, Rajesh Khanna played the rich-man in “Swarg” similar to Ashok Kumar’s character in “Mehrban”. Govinda played the orphan who is devoted to the family similar to Sunil Dutt’s character in “Mehrban”.
The variations in the 1967 movie is that the wealthy couple Shanti Swarup (Ashok Kumar) and Parvati (Sulochana) have three sons and two daughters in addition to being the adoptive parents of Kanhaiya (Sunil Dutt). (In “Swarg” the wealthy couple are childess) They also bring in Laxmi (Nutan) whose parents were known to them and who die leaving Laxmi to fend for herself. So, as we can see it is a full house. That gives the story all kinds of good, bad and ugly characters which helps the writer to gives us a three-hour long movie with lots of ‘rona-dhona’ ‘kasam khana and khilana’ etc. i.e. a highly emotional movie. The end is predictable in that all the family members come together and live happily, once again.
Just remembered another variation between “Swarg” and “Mehrban”. In “Swarg” Krishna (Govinda) becomes rich by acting in movies, buys back the property of his ‘sahabji’ (Rajesh Khanna) and teaches the errant brothers a lesson or two before bringing them back to apologise for all the wrongs that they have done. Kanhaiya of ‘Mehrban’ doesn’t wait to earn riches before coming back to set matters right in the adoptive family. Kanhaiya (Sunil Dutt) has Laxmi (whom he marries before being sent away from the home by Sulochana) for support whereas Krishna does it with the help of his friend ‘Airport’ (Satish Kaushik).
Also, in ‘Swarg’ Sahabji’s wife dies of shock and in ‘Mehrban’ Shanti Swarup dies leaving his wife to the mercy of his ungrateful children.
‘Swarg’ was said to be a remake of ‘Mehrban’ which itself was a remake from the 1960 Tamil hit ‘Padikkadha Medhai’ (Uneducated Genius) which in turn was a remake of the 1953 Bengali movie ‘Jog Biyog’ which was based on the novel of the same name by Ashapurna Devi. So, that means this story will hold good in any time and age.
We are revisiting this movie today with a duet sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohd Rafi but (surprise) it is not a romantic song. In fact, the movie doesn’t have any romantic song, in the true sense of the term. There is a Lata Mangeshkar solo which has Nutan pacifying a sad Sunil Dutt. This song relates the story of Shanti Swarup to his grandchildren.
This is one of five movies where Nutan and Sunil Dutt played the lead. As I was looking up the anniversaries tab of the blog I found that the birth-dates of the two were one day apart. I wondered what scenario it would have been, back then, when the shooting of the movies were on. Nutan would have turned 85 on 4th June and Sunil (birth-name Balraj) Dutt would have been 92. Just a passing thought, their sons are actors too and have acted together in a few movies.
Editor’s note-Lyrics of this song, which turns out to be a multiple version song, were sent by Avinash Scrapwala long ago.

Jo naa mitaaye mitegi kisi se
Chhodi hai aisi nishaani

Blog Day : |
4518 | Post No. : | 16075 |
Some regulars of the blog are more keen eyed than most people and they keep looking for important events taking place in the blog. One important event happened in the blog yesterday. I became aware of it mainly because some regulars pointed it out in our whatsapp group.
On this day in the afternoon, the blog silently registered its 14 millionth visitor. The blog began 12 years ago on 19 july 2008 and it took the blog 4517 days to reach this magic figure on 29 november 2020.
Here is a summary of all the million visitors that have taken place in the blog so far :-
| Visitor number | Date achieved | Blog day number | Days taken for the million hits | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 million | 25 October 2010 | 829 | 829 | Slowest one million @ 1206 visitors per day |
| 2 millions | 7 November 2011 | 1207 | 378 | @2645 visitors per day |
| 3 millions | 7 April 2012 | 1359 | 152 | Fastest one million @ 6579 visitors per day |
| 4 millions | 10 December 2012 | 1606 | 247 | @ 4049 visitors per day |
| 5 millions | 29 October 2013 | 1929 | 323 | @3096 visitors per day |
| 6 millions | 12 October 2014 | 2277 | 348 | @2873 visitors per day |
| 7 millions | 4 July 2015 | 2542 | 265 | @ 3773 visitors per day |
| 8 millions | 20 April 2016 | 2833 | 291 | @ 3436 visitors per day |
| 9 millions | 24 February 2017 | 3143 | 310 | @ 3226 visitors per day |
| 10 millions | 14 January 2018 | 3467 | 324 | @ 3086 visitors per day |
| 11 millions | 22 November 2018 | 3779 | 312 | @ 3205 visitors per day |
| 12 millions | 4 July 2019 | 4003 | 224 | @ 4464 visitors per day |
| 13 millions | 8 February 2020 | 4222 | 219 | @ 4566 visitors per day |
| 14 millions | 29 November 2020 | 4517 | 295 | @ 3390 visitors per day |
Overall rate of visitors till now is 3099 visitors per day.
The above table shows that the blog, despite dealing in a non populist topic in a non TRP seeking manner, still draws a regular stream of visitors. It certainly serves as a source of encouragement for us.
I remember that the blog used to have visitors in trickles (in double figures in a day) during its early days. It was on 16 august 2008 that the blog touched three figures in a day for the first time. It was on 23 january 2009 (189th day of the blog) when more than one thousand visitors visited the blog for the first time. 5 August 2009 saw more than 2000 visitors for the first time in a day. The blog has even seen over ten thousand visits in a day. Here are the details:-
| Date | Number of visitors | Blog day | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 19 July 2008 | 4 | 1 | Only four visitors on the first day. Only occasion of single digit visitors in a day |
| 20 July 2008 | 12 | 2 | First time the blog reached double figure of visitors on the second day of the blog |
| 16 August 2008 | 253 | 29 | First time the blog reached three figures of visitors in a day |
| 23 January 2009 | 1145 | 189 | First time the blog reached four figures of visitors in a day |
| 29 August 2009 | 2071 | 407 | First time the blog reached 2000 visitors in a day |
| 15 July 2011 | 3060 | 1092 | First time the blog reached 3000 visitors in a day |
| 4 October 2011 | 4137 | 1173 | First time the blog reached 4000 visitors in a day |
| 7 October 2011 | 5379 | 1176 | First time the blog reached 5000 visitors in a day |
| 9 October 2011 | 6082 | 1178 | First time the blog reached 6000 visitors in a day |
| 10 October 2011 | 7561 | 1179 | First time the blog reached 7000 visitors in a day |
| 12 October 2011 | 9824 | 1181 | First time the blog reached 8000 visitors in a day |
| 12 October 2011 | 9824 | 1181 | First time the blog reached 9000 visitors in a day |
| 19 October 2011 | 10630 | 1188 | First and only time the blog reached 10000 visitors in a day |
It took the blog more than 1000 days before it could get 3000 plus visitors in a day. But then all of a sudden, the blog touched heights of 4000 plus, 5000 plus, 6000 plus, 7000 plus, 8000 plus , 9000 plus and 10000 plus visits in a day in the month of October 2011, all within 15 days !
All these figures are interesting figures and they have been achieved without making any conscious attempts. In fact, we are not even aware how and why these visitors find us. All we know from wordpress stats is that the blog gets hits from all around the globe. Indiais the major country where this blog gets viewed the most and USA comes second. Other major countries from where this blog gets viewed are UK, Pakistan, Malaysia, Canada, UAE, Mauritius, Australia, Sri Lanka, Singapore, South Africa etc.
All we can conclude from the above is that Hindi movie music, especially those created decades ago, enjoy good following all around the world among music lovers of Indian origin and sometimes even among non Indian origin persons. People who are looking for difficult to find songs are likely to find their way into the blog. Some of them, after stumbling upon the blog may decide to bookmark the blog for further reference.
It gives us encouragement to find that we are visited even by people who are themselves associated with HFM and they sometimes post messages in the blog or contact us as well.
The figures about visitors to the blog are in a way a reflection on the fact that the work being done in the blog for old HF songs is being noticed and appreciated. And this is just the reward that we, like most normal human beings seek. Such appreciation is just the tonic that keeps us motivated and make us do this work regularly without taking any breaks.
On this occasion, here is a song from “Ek Shrimaan Ek Shrimati”(1969). This song is sung by Rafi and Lata. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Kalyanji Anandji.
Only the audio of the song is available as of now. This movie was produced by Surinder Kapoor and directed by Bhappi Sanie for Amar Chhaya Productions. The movie had Shashi Kapoor, Babita, Kamini Kaushal, Om Prakash, Helen, Rajendra Nath, Laxmi Chhaya, Mumtaz Begum, Mohan Choti, Dhumal, Hari Shivdasani, Sudhir, Sulochana Latkar, Sujata, Snehlata, Jagadish Kamal, Maqbool, Devi Chand, Baba Benjamin, Shobha, Madan Kenny etc in it. So, my guess is that thd song was picturised on Shashi Kapoor and Babita. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

‘Ulfat’ was the maiden offer from K Razdan, the producer. The film was directed by K Shankar, who had directed many Tamil and Telugu films apart from some Hindi films such as ‘Bharosa’ (1963), ‘Rajkumar’ (1964), ‘Sachaai’ (1969), ‘Parde Ke Peeche’ (1971), ‘Chhote Sarkaar’ (1974), ‘Raja’ (1975) etc. The main star cast consisted of Raaj Kumar, Sadhana, Waheeda Rehman, Nazir Hussain, Agha, Shammi, Gulshan Bawra, Ramesh Deo, Seema Deo, Mohan Choti, Sundar etc.
K Razdan started his career as a film publicist and Public Relation Officer for some film productions houses and actors. He was associated with Guru Dutt Films, Ashok Kumar Films, Sippy Films, Sagar Films, Vishal International Productions of Manoj Kumar etc. ‘Ulfat’ was his maiden film as well as the last film as a producer. Why did the film ‘Ulfat’ which went to the floor sometime in early 1970s, take so much time to complete?
I had read an article on Raaj Kumar in ‘Daily Hunt’ in which there was a paragraph on Raaj Kumar creating problems for K Razdan, the producer during the shooting of the film. For trivial issues, Raaj Kumar used to have problems with other actors and crew members. For instance, Raaj Kumar did not like Cinematographer, G Singh for his habit of scratching his beard while filming the shoot. One can observe from the credit title of the film that there were 3 cinematographers listed for the film.
Fed up with his tantrums, K Razdan filed a suit in the court against Raaj Kumar. While it is not known as to what was the outcome of the suit, Razdan was happy that at least he made Raaj Kumar to sit on a wooden bench in the court room with commoners during the court hearings. K Razdan decided to expose Raaj Kumar by writing a book, ‘Nark Yatra’ sharing his experiences of working with Raaj Kumar. However, he refrained from publishing the book. Finally, in disgust, K Razdan abandoned the film left unfinished. He continued to work as film publicist and PRO in the Hindi film industry till 1990.
Raaj Kumar has been known for his eccentricity. His decision to take charge of the unfinished film in early 1990s with good amount of investment was nothing less than a part of his eccentric behaviour. He required Sadhana for shooting a college scene and a romantic song with him. However, she flatly refused to join the shooting. Her rejection is understandable as in early 1990s, Sadhana was around 50 and Raaj Kumar was 64. The audience would not have appreciated watching both of them in a college scene and singing a romantic song!
Finally, Raaj Kumar completed the film by using a double for shooting the unfinished scenes of Sadhana with long shots and her back to the camera in close-up scenes. Of other actors, only Waheeda Rehman agreed to resume shooting for her parts. The dialogues for the left-over scenes were written by Raaj Kumar himself. Panini, his younger son, provided the background music. Obviously, with a long delay in completing the film with patched-up works, the film was out of date. There were no takers for distributing the films. Finally, according to a comment on one of the songs uploaded on the video sharing platform, the film was released under a new title. ‘Ulfat Ki Nayi Manzilein’ (1994) on VHS tapes in August 1994 for satellite TVs. I am not sure whether the film had a theatrical release anytime thereafter.
I have no idea about the story of ‘Ulfat Ki Nayi Manzilein’ (1994). Looking at the star cast of the film, the story appears to be a love triangle. All the 5 songs of the film which was released by HMV on LP in 1978 were retained in the film. 4 songs were written by Rajinder Krishan while one song which Qateel Shifai had already written for a Pakistani film in the early 70s was used with a new tune. All the songs were set to music by Kalyanji-Anandji.
I am presenting the first song, ‘bahaaron se kahenge nazaaron se kahenge’ from ‘Ulfat’ (1978, UR/‘Ulfat Ki Nayi Manzilein’ (1994) to appear on the Blog. The song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi on the words of Rajinder Krishan. Kalyanji-Anandji composed the music. The song is picturised on Raaj Kumar and a double of Sadhana.
At first, I was not too keen to provide the link of the video clip of the song which was probably taken from VHS tape of the film. The visuals are very bad and audio quality is average. Also, it is a shorter clip than the audio clip which was released in 1978 under the film’s original title ‘Ulfat’. One can make out from the visuals in video clip that the female actor is not Sadhana but her double. The audio clip of the song is excellent in audio quality and is longer. In the audio clip, there is also a bonus addition of the sad version of the song with dialogues between Raaj Kumar and Sadhana.
With this song, ‘Ulfat Ki Nayi Manzilein’ (1994) makes its debut on the Blog.
