This is a song from film Madhubala-1950.

Will you be not happy if you get the Cake and eat it too ? Same thing happened whenever Handsome Dev Anand and the most beautiful actress of Hindi films, Madhubala acted together in a film. The audience used to become ecstatic with joy watching their films. No one cared if the story was weak or the music was third grade. What was more important was to see Dev and Madhubala, with a contented heart !

As has been mentioned in the earlier posts of the day, today (19 july 2015) is the seventh birth anniversary of this blog. One single article was posted on the first day of the blog in 2008. The blog remained one song a day blog for the first forty days and then we began to post several articles every day. Today, seven year later, the blog has well over elevent thousand songs. If one takes an average, it turns out to be an average of 4.5 songs per day. Come to think of it, maintaining this daily strike rate for seven years is quite an achievement.

When I started collecting cassettes in 1985, I was very crazy about purchasing of cassettes at regular intervals; I was always searching for songs of old films (especially of Rajesh Khanna films at that time).

It was my practice, beginning from 8th standard onwards that I would take up some part time job during my vacations which I would give up as classes would resume. I had taken up a part time job during the vacation period after class 12th as well, but unlike the previous years, I did not go back to my classes this time, rather I continued with this job since I was aware that I was going to fail in my exams.

Today (17 july 2015) is the 96th birth anniversary of Snehal Bhatkar (17 july 1919-29 may 2007). His actual name was Vasudev Gangaram Bhatkar but he composed music under various names viz. Vasudev, B.Vasudev, Snehal and V.G.Bhatkar and finally settled for the name of Snehal Bhatkar, where the name Snehal was derived from Snehlata, the name of his daughter ! He used these pseudo names because he was an employee of HMV and his contract with HMV prohibited him from working outside HMV.

This is a song from the film Aplam Chaplam-1961. Talat and Lata sing with chorus, under the baton of composer Chitragupta.

If I ever make lists of composers under different headings like, Melody, Tune,Orchestra, Interludes etc, the first 5 names under the heading “Melody “would be, Ravi, Hansraj Behl, Khemchand Prakash, Anil Biswas and Chitragupta ( not as per any Rankings). Barring Anil Biswas, all the rest four composers never got enough name and fame despite making very melodious music. Chitragupta, Khemchand Prakash and Hansraj Behl got considerably less number of leading production house films compared to what they delivered, in my opinion.

Today (13 july 2015) is the 76th birth anniversary of Prakash Mehra (13 july 1939- 17 may 2009). He was a producer and director of Hindi movies. People growing up in 1970s grew up on a diet of Amitabh Bachchan movies which were produced and directed either by Manmohan Desai or by Prakash Mehra. It was in fact Prakash Mehra who helped create the legend of Amitabh Bachchan with “Zanjeer”(1973) ata time when Amitabh Bachchan was written off and he was on the verge of biddling farewell to his acting career. He was match point down ( as they say in tennis) when “Zanjeer”(1973) happened and he never had to look back again from ever since.
