Today, August 24, 2025, is the 25th Remembrance Day of Kalyanji of the music director duo, Kalyanji-Anandji. Surprisingly, none of the two brothers had any inkling of becoming music director when Anandji started his amateure orchestra group doing live variety stage shows in around Girgaum area. Kalyanji, his elder brother joined this group after completion of his boarding school where he had learn to play various musical instruments.

Kalyanji (30/06/1928 0 24/08/2000) was born to Virji Shah, a Jain businessman from Kutch who migrated to Mumbai in early 20th century to set up the grocery and dry-fruit shops in Mangalwadi, Girgaum area of South Mumbai, a predominately Marathi and Gujarati speaking region. While Kalyanji was sent to a boarding school, Anandji, his 5 year junior younger brother joined the local school. In those days, there were many film personalities like V Shantaram, Durga Khote, Shanta Apte, Kikubhai Desai (father of Subhash and Manmohan Desai), some crew members and the film musicians staying in Girgaum. Anandji learnt percussions from a music teacher in lieu of his outstanding grocery bills of his father’s shop. However, his Jain mother did not allow him to bring the Dholak at home because it had animal skin. So, he had to keep his Dholak at his music teacher’s house. Similarly, he gained some working knowledge of Hindustani classical music when he started giving tanpura accomplishment to a Hindustani classical vocalist of his locality during her practice session for which she would give him a chocolate as reward.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————

In this post I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Badmaash-1969’. This movie was introduced on this blog by our Shree Sudhir jee with its song ‘uthhaa palkein milaa nazren’ on the blog. This movie was then a ‘missing movie’ for the blog. I guess this movie was a very rare and obscure movie and it continues to remains so.

“Badmaash-1969” was a stunt movie which was directed by B.J. Patel for Saras Chitra, Bombay. It had Sheikh Mukhtar, Helen, Chandrashekhar, Padma, N.A. Ansari, Vishva Mehra, Dalda, Shashimala, Satyen Kapoor, Jilani, Chandrakala, Surya Kumar, Bhagwan, Rachna, Jayshree, Satish Vyas, Nawab, Jaswant, Ajit, Abdul Sattar, Nanak, Motu, Nandini Desai and others. This movie ‘Badmaash-1969’ has four songs composed by Avinash Vyas. Lyricist for all the four songs is Anjaan. The singers list mentioned in HFGK has Krishna Kalle and Mahendra Kapoor as singers for this movie. However for one song the singer’s name is not mentioned in HFGK.

Today’s song is from a less known or rather unknown, obscure film- Mulaqat-1947.

This was one of the movies of 1947, which was made in great haste, adding only to the quantity of films. Actually the Music Director as well as the cast of the film was good, but somehow the film did not click.

This was a film with Muslim social background. The cast of the film was Naseem Banu, Prem Adib, Rama Shukla, Mumtaz Ali, Majid, Najma, Shah Nawaz and many others.

Atuldom is a lovely place to be. We have some like-minded film music lovers who make the job of post writing very easy. Let me explain.

I was planning a post on a song from the 1999 released, Milan Luthria directed and Ramesh Taurani & Kumar S. Taurani (under their banner of Tips Cassettes) produced film “Kachche Dhaage”. I was planning the post as a tribute to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan whose death anniversary happens to be on 16th August. He passed away on this date in 1997 when he was only 49.

Hullo Atuldom

Acclaimed actress of the 1950s, who was much-loved even after she hung-up her acting boots in 1970, turns a year older-enters her 93rd year on this earth on 13th August. She was loved as much for her acting as her proficiency in dancing- she is a trained, disciplined Bharat Natyam dancer. Recently, in February 2024, at age 90, she took part in Raag Sewa performance series at Ram Mandir, Ayodhya, with a Bharat Natyam dance recital, and its video soon became viral on social media. She is a lady (from the older generation) who’s work I simply adore. The spark in her eyes when she is dancing is something out-of-this-world.

She was born in Madras (present day Chennai) to Mandyam Dhati Raman and Vasundhara Devi – an actress of the 1940s (herself). She was primarily raised by her grandmother Yadugiri Devi. At age 7, she was chosen to perform a classical Indian dance for Pope Pius XII while her mother was an audience, in 1940, at Vatican City. She learned Bharatnatyam from V. Ramaiah Pillai and Carnatic music from D. K. Pattammal, K. V. Narayanaswamy, M. S. Subbulakshmi, K. P. Kittappa Pillai and other such learned teachers of those times, under the guidance of her grandmother.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 36

For a change, we move away from Asha Bhosle solo songs to a beautiful duet she has sung with the ethereal voiced Mohd Rafi Saab.

Today’s song is “Khud Toh Badnaam Huye” from Chanda Aur Bijli (1969). The lyricist is Hasrat Jaipuri and the composer jodi is Shankar Jaikishan.

Four songs out of six have already been posted earlier, so this is the fifth song.

In this post I am presenting a saawan song from a recent movie ‘Jhoothi Shaan-1991’. Though this movie is now thirty-five years old, by the standards of our blog we call it a recent movie. I have neither watched this movie earlier nor remember to have listened to any songs of this movie.

Ranjan Bose the director of this movie also wrote the story and screenplay of this movie. Askari Jafri and Sanjay Gulati were the producers for this movie.
