Mukesh and his Actors – 09

Actor Rakesh Pandey (9 April 1940-21 March 2025) made his acting debut in the film Sara Aakash (1969). He won the President’s Award for his role in the film. Apart from Hindi films and TV serials, he was also associated with Bhojpuri silver and small screen and won several awards in the latter regional language association.

He was also associated with FTII, IPTA etc. But with all these startups and awards, my perception is that he could not place himself in the top league of actors. He is, however, known for playing family-centric roles and his rich contributions counted and remembered.

Today, April 11, 2026, is the 86th birthday of Ameeta, who regaled the Hindi film audience through her films of 1950s and 1960s, both in leading as well as in side roles. She came into prominence with box office successful films, ‘Tumsa Naheen Dekha’ (1957) and ‘Goonj Uthi Shehnai’ (1959) in leading roles and in ‘Mere Mehboob’ (1963) in a side role. But luck was not in her favour and despite the initial success with her good acting prowess, she could not achieve stardom.

Today’s song is from an obscure and less known film- Miss Devi-1944.

This film had a story revolving around twin sisters who looked alike. The 1940s were replete with such ‘ Look alike’ films, as if there was a great demand for these films. Few days back I wrote about the film Dhandora-1941 which too had ‘Look alikes’ in its story. Another well known film was Muqabla-1942, a film with Fearless Nadia, with such a story. I have always wondered why the film stories get repeated so frequently, as if there is a shortage of imagination. Few years ago, I answered this question.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————–—-

Today I am presenting a rare and lesser heard duet sung by Rafi Saab and Asha Bhonsle. That adds one more to their tally on this blog. I do not remember to have listened to this song earlier, but it is nice hummable song to listen to.

This song is from the un-released/shelved movie titled as ‘Shehar Se Door’. Sources mention that the records for this movie were released in the year 1972, but the movie was never released.

‘Shehar Se Door’ or ‘Shahar Se Door’ was directed by Chaman Nille for ‘Maya Deep International, Bombay’. It had Subhash Ghai, Neena, Heena Kausar, Roopesh Kumar, Nadira, Johny Walker, Raj Mehra, Krishan Dhawan, Anita Guha, V. Gopal, Jankidas, Uma Dhawan, Uma Khosla, Jerry, Monto, Satya Devi, Madhu Kapoor, Tarun Bose and others. Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980) lists five songs for this movie written by Verma Malik. Music for this movie was composed by Sonik-Omi. Manna Dey, Mohd Rafi, Minoo Puroshottam, and Asha Bhonsle were the playback singers for this movie.

Today’s song is from an obscure, less known Historical film Maharani Minal Devi-1946.

Made by Laxmi productions, Bombay, it was directed by Chimanlal Trivedi, owner of the banner and the music was by Saraswati Devi- who had started her career from Bombay Talkies. The cast was Prem Adib, Leela Desai, Durga Khote, Jagdish Sethi, Sankatha Prasad, Moni Chaterjee etc.etc. There were only 7 songs in this film, written by Neelkanth Tiwari and Swami Ramanand. The number of songs-7 was below the average of 9.8 songs for the decade of 1940.

1946 was an important year in the history of Hindi films. This was the period when the impending Independence of India was on the Anvil and everyone knew that in the year 1947 it would take place. The second World War had just ended, which had created inumerable millionaires, fed on black marketing and illegal trades in the war period. Many of them were keen on investing their ill gotten wealth in the film industry. Thus, there was no dearth of finances in the industry. From 1946 to around the early years of the 50’s, some of these ” novo-rich” persons provided finance. Some even tried their hand at directing films or even acting in it. Let us see what other things happened during this period.

We in this blog tend to be nostalgic about the past. If by some miracle it becomes possible to do time travel and go into the past then most of us will eagerly grab the opportunity.

Let us say we board the time machine and go to 1947. We would find ourselves in a disturbed situation where India is about to gain independence but widespread violence is taking place every where. Let us imagine that we find safe haven in a library. In the library we browse film magazines. When we browse the magazines, we find names of movies and actors that ring no bells. Names of actors ring no bells.
