Today’s song is from a dubbed Hindi film -Piya Milan-1958.

This costume film was directed by Raghunath and the music was by P Ramesh Naidu, who was assisted by S.L.Merchant. The cast of the South indian dubbed film was Vyjayantimala, Raja Sulochana, Shri Ram, M.N.Rajam, Helen, Reeta, V.Nagiah, T.S.Baliah, P.L.Veerappa, Thangvellu, Chandra babu, G.A.K.Devar and many others. Lyricists were Harsha (3) and Hasrat Jaipuri (6). These 9 songs of the film were sung by P.Susheela, Lata mangeshkar, Usha Mangeshkar, Om Verma and jagmohan Bakshi. Actually, the film was produced by Jubilee Films, but was sold to R.R. Productions for releasing it.

Film Piya Milan-1958 was originally a Tamil film MARMAVEERA-1956, dubbed in Hindi. Most songs were having the same tune as given by the Tamil original’s composer S.Vedhu. The greatest attraction of this film was the Guest appearance by N.T.Rama Rao, Sivaji Ganeshan and Gemini Ganeshan. They were the heavyweight actors of the Southern films.

The 50’s decade was full of a deluge of films from the south. After S.S.Vasan proved that it was possible to capture the All India Hindi Audience market for South-made films, there was a mad rush and almost all major and minor film companies from south tried to get at least a small piece of the “Hindi Audience Cake” for their films. Films came in the shapes of Bilinguals, remakes and dubbed ones. Bilinguals – when a film is made in 2 languages at a time, one language being Hindi, remakes were new Hindi films made on old Hit films of South Indian languages. Dubbed films were films made in the southern language, with a sound track of Hindi language. In 1958 alone there were 7 films from the South, dubbed in Hindi, for All India markets.

Since the 1950’s decade, every south artist’s dream was to shine in the Hindi film industry, because Hindi films meant All India fame and an honour. In this dream many actresses achieved success, but comparatively actors were almost nowhere. The only name perhaps could be taken was that of actor Ranjan and few more. However, Jamuna, Vaijayantimala, Hema malini, Ragini, Padmini, Rekha and many more actresses from South became famous in Hindi films. Likewise when the Tamil and Telugu industry became a big one, many actresses like Khushbu etc from the Hindi land became famous in South films. Somehow males could not achieve this.

One of the major problems for south Indian artists is the Hindi language. The actresses like Vaijayantimala, Hema Malini and Rekha became experts, but Southern actors could not cross this hurdle. N.T.Ramarao ( 28-5-1923 to 18-1-1996) tried hard. He featured in 23 Hindi films which were mostly dubbed films barring few. One film Brahmarshi Vishwamitra-1991 was even directed by him. Sivaji Ganeshan (1-10-1927 to 21-7-2001) a winner of the prestigious ” Dadasaheb Phalke Award” in 1996, also featured in 19 Hindi films. Gemini Ganesan-real name R.Ganesan ( 17-11-1920 to 22-3-2005) was actress Rekha’s father. He acted in 24 Hindi films.

Similarly many music directors also had the same desire to shine in Hindi films, but had the same problem of language. One of these MDs was P.Ramesh Naidu who gave music to the Hindi film Piya Milan-1958.

Pasupuleti Ramesh Naidu (Born 18-10-1933, Died 2-9-2005) was born in Kondapalli in Krishna District (Andhra Pradesh). He was so obsessed with music that he ran away and landed in Bombay when he was 17 year old. B R Chopra took him under his wings and Ramesh learnt Instrumentation and orchestration in HMV at Bombay.

Here he learned music and also got opportunities to interact with Hindi and Marathi directors. His debut as a music director was for a Marathi Movie ” Bhandawal Paahije” 1950, produced, Directed and acted by Kishore Sahu, when he was 17 years old. He was first introduced to Telugu movies in Dampatyam by Actress Krishnaveni. He moved back to Bombay and gave music for Kishore Sahu’s Hamlet 1954, Waheeda Rahman’s DUBBED Telugu movie Jai Singh (1959). He later went to Calcutta, married a Bengali woman and worked for about ten years for Bengali, Nepali and Oriya films before returning to Telugu films with the movie Amma Mata in 1972. He composed music mainly for the directors Dasari Narayana Rao, Vijaya Nirmala and writer Jandhyala. His other major works are Srivariki, Premalekha, Sivaranjani, Ananda Bhairavi and Swayamkrushi.

After a few years he went back to Andhra and got married. He got a son also and then he came to Bombay, on his way to Calcutta. he spent 10 years there giving music to Bangla, Oriya and Nepali films.

He was invited to Madras and he gave music to Amma mata-72. He settled there with his family. He gave music in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada films. He came to Bombay from time to time to give music to Dubbed and Remade films from the South. He also gave music in a few Bhojpuri films. His Hindi films were Hamlet-54, Jaisingh-59, Piya Milan-58, Nartaki Chitra-65, Ganga Bhavani-79, Azaadi ki Oar-86,and Hum bhi kuch kam nahin-1983.His first south film was Dampatyam-57 and last was Ish Gup chup-1993. He surpassed Salil Chaudhari by giving music in 10 Indian languages( Salil da gave music in 9 ). Ramesh Naidu got the National Award for the film ‘Megh Sandesham’. Naidu left this world on 2-9-2005, at Hyderabad.

The story of the film Piya Milan-1958 was…..

Maharaja Kulasekhara is the king of Kurni Empire. He has a beautiful daughter Vijaya (Vyjayanti mala), who is in love with a young rich boy, Mahinder (Shri Ram).

Maharaja Parakram Bahu of the neighbouring kingdom comes calling and before going back proposes to Vijaya. He is told that she is already engaged and this alliance is not possible.

Parakram goes back enraged. He consults his vazir, Nari and they decide to destroy Kulasekhara. They tempt Srimantha, the commander of Kulshekar and then attack Kurni, capture the Maharaja and abduct Vijaya. The kingdom is then given to Shrimantha. Shrimantha and his cronies torture the poor Janata and loot them.

Suddenly, a masked man called PARAMVEER appears from nowhere and protects the oppressed janata. He also punishes the cronies and Looters. Meanwhile Parakram Bahu decided to marry Vijaya forcibly. Getting this news, Paramveer attacks Parakram Bahu in the night ,captures him and rescues the princess Vijaya.

Then Param veer leads a mutiny and defeats Srimantha and rescues Maharaja Kulasekhara. Finally, it is revealed that Param Veer is no one else but Mahinder, the fiance of Vijaya.

All is well, after this.

one of the cast members was Raja Sulochana. Raja sounds like a male name, but she was a dancer cum actress. In southern films, her name is mentioned as Rajsulochana, but in Hindi it is used as Raja Sulochana. Chittajallu Rajeevalochana (15 August 1935 – 5 March 2013), better known as Rajsulochana, was a classical dancer and actress. She has acted in more than 300 Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi language films.

She was born on 15 August 1935 in Bezawada (now Vijayawada), in Andhra Pradesh. Her father, Pilliarchetty Bhakthavatsalam Naidu worked in Indian Railways and was transferred to Madras as PA to the General Manager of M&SM Railway. At school, her name was recorded in error as Rajasulochana. She learned Indian classical dance from Lalithamma, K. N. Dhandayuthapani Pillai, Acharyulu and Vempati Chinna Satyam, Krishnakumar, Vishnu Vysarkar, and Kalamandalam Madhavan.

The Kannada stage and screen maestro H. L. N. Simha gave her an acting opportunity in Gunasagari (Kannada, 1953), produced by Gubbi Veeranna. Subsequently, she acted in about 274 films in all South Indian languages. She acted with all the leading stars of South Indian cinema such as M. G. Ramachandran, Sivaji Ganesan, N. T. Rama Rao, Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Rajkumar, S. S. Rajendran, Prem Nazir, A. P. Nagarajan and M. N. Nambiar.

Rajasulochana was a special friend of the boss A.V.Meiyappan and he was trying to push her in Hindi films.It was rumoured that due to this only,this song and dance item with master Bhagwan was thrust in the film Chori Chori-1956, even if it did look like a patch, having no connection to the picture story in any manner !
Rajasulochana was a good dancer/actress and acted in some 80 odd Telugu,Kannada and Tamil movies.
She acted/danced in few Hindi movies like, Chori chori, Aayi phirse Bahar, Alladin ka chirag, Naya aadmi, Sitaron Se aage etc.

She founded the dance school “Pushpanjali Nritya Kala Kendram” in 1961 in Chennai. It has trained many students in Indian classical dance forms and celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 1986. She gave many dance performances in India and abroad and got critical acclaim for the dance dramas.

She had a son out of her first marriage and after it ended in a divorce, she married actor-director C. S. Rao and had twin daughters. One daughter lives in Chennai. The other twin daughter and son live in Chicago, Illinois.

Rajasulochana died in Chennai on 5 March 2013 at the age of 77. Condoling her death, the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa had said the actress had left an imprint for herself in the film industry. She was engaged in creating artistes in her dance school “Pushpanjali Nritya Kala Kendram ” here, Jayalalithaa said.

Here is a song from today’s film, sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Enjoy….

Hullo Atuldom

21st December is the birthday of an actor who made his debut in films in 1986. Though the first film he signed was ‘Tan Badan’, first film for which he started shooting was ‘Love 86’ in June of 1985. ‘Ilzaam’ (release date 28th February 1986) & ‘Love 86’ (release date 14th February 1986) released before his firstsigned ‘Tan Badan’ (release date 25th April 1986).

He was born as the youngest of 5 children and was given the pet name ‘Chi-Chi’ (meaning little finger). His father was former actor Aroon (alias Arun Kumar Ahuja) and singer-actress Nirmala Devi was his mother. He belongs to an ethnically mixed family, as, through his father, his grandfather was Punjabi while his grandmother was Sindhi, but he himself identifies more with his Punjabi side. His paternal side ancestry can be traced to Gujranwala in undivided India & his maternal side had its roots in Varanasi, U.P.

Aroon (Arunkumar Ahuja) came to Mumbai (Bombay back then) to become an actor in the late 1930s. He is best known for appearing in Mehboob Khan’s Aurat (1940). Aroon’s professional career as an actor lasted for 15 years, from 1939 to 1954. In these years, he worked as a hero in 30 films. He produced one unsuccessful film which caused financial loss. The family, living in a bungalow on Mumbai’s Carter Road, moved to Virar, a northern Mumbai suburb. Hence, he wanted his children to be educated before associating with films.

Did I mention that I am writing about Govind Ahuja whom Hindi film fans know as Govinda. He saw ‘Disco Dancer’ (1982), which inspired him to practise dancing for hours. He then made and circulated a promotional VHS cassette to all producers. He was offered jobs in a some commercials. He was offered the role of Abhimanyu in the popular mythological serial Mahabharat (1988) during its casting and he even had auditioned for it. But he was signed by his uncle Anand (born Uday Narayan Singh, we have seen him in a few Hrishikesh Mukherjee films- for example in ‘Golmaal’ as one of Amol Palekar’s friends) for ‘Tan Badan’ which became Govinda’s debut in Hindi Films. And, this actor, Govinda, went to on entertain film goers for the last 39 years. He has seen a lot of ups-n-downs in his career but has been majorly admired for his dancing & comic timing; I would like to add that he is very good in emotional as well as actions scenes. He is still very active and may he continue to do so.

For today’s post I would like to present a song from his first released film (as per date of film releases):- “Love 86”. It was directed by Esmayeel Shroff & produced by Pranlal Mehta. It had Tanuja playing mother to Neelam & Farha (she had not started adding Naaz to her name then). Tanuja’s estranged husband was played by Shafi Inamdar, Asrani played her secretary. Satish Shah & Ravi Baswani played bumbling cops. Rohan Kapoor (singer Mahendra Kapoor’s son) & Govinda played young men who have taken to petty crimes to survive. The young brigade encounter each other, fall in love & manage to keep meeting with lots of help from the father of the girls; the mother opposes as she wants the girls marry brothers from wealthy families so that the girls can stay together in the same family. The movie is a love story so all will be well in the end.

The film had six songs penned by S. H. Bihari (3), Santosh Anand, Sameer & Prem Pandit (one each). Suresh Wadkar, Shailendra Singh, Shabbir Kumar, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Mohammad Aziz, Hemlata & Anuradha Paudwal were the playback singers used.

Today’s song happens when the boys have managed to hoodwink the mother & get permission to go out on a drive with the girls. The bumbling cops, who have been suspended because of the antics of the boys are on the trail of the couples, in disguise of course!

Before I conclude the post I would like to thank my daughter for my first encounter with this blog, through this song post. This opened a whole new world for me, where I could raise ‘farmaishes’ and post my two-bit knowledge as comments.

Atulji, the man behind this blog was kind enough to post one of my mails to him, which had the lyrics of a song from ‘Taxi Taxi’ & I progressed from a commenter to a lyrics contributor, with these songs:-

Jeewan mein hamsafar milte to hain zaroor,

Laayee kahaan hai zindagee

Atulji’s action of converting another mail of mine, which was for the birthday of child actor,(turned adult) Master Satyajeet’s birthday, into this post made me a guest poster on the blog.

Since that post in September 2012, I have slowly moved to a few hundred posts. Here are the songs that accompanied my century posts:-

Century post Song Movie (Year) Date Remarks
100th post Har aadmee ko biwi ka ghulaam hona chaahiye Hiraasat (1987) 6 November 2015 Remembering Sanjeev Kumar on his death anniversary

600th post Hulchal machaa dee toone hulchal Main Solah Baras Ki (1998) 3 December 2023 Remembering Dev Anand on his death anniversary

I must also mention that I have come across many knowledgeable film lovers who are store houses of knowledge after I became a regular follower of the blog. I should thank Atulji for making me a part of this elite world which I love to call Atuldom. I have learnt to enjoy songs for the singing, writing & composition after becoming an Atulite; before 2009 I associated songs with the images accompanying them. I know the background stories with the songs, along with finding versions of some popular songs that I would have otherwise overlooked as being vintage or pre-historic songs; I would like to mention the Ashok Kumar sung version (as an example) of ‘ek chatur naar’ here which I would have labelled pre-historic. 🙂

Today’s song is the last and final song from the film Ratnavali-1945.

The film was made by Amar Pictures, Bombay, owned by Chimanlal Desai, who was the owner of Sagar Movietone earlier. The films made by this company were generally directed by Virendra Desai, his son. The life story of Virendra Desai was very bad. While he was at the peak of his career, with a wife and 2 children, he fell in love with his Heroine – Nalini Jaywant, who was 15 years younger to him. After completing the film Adab Arz-1943, both of them eloped to Calcutta and got married there.

Today’s song is the last and the final song from the film Sunehre Din-1949. The film made by Jagat Pictures was directed by Satish Nigam and the music was by Gyan Dutt. The cast of the film included Rehana, Raj Kapoor, Nigar Sultana, Haroon, Heera Sawant, Ramesh Sinha and others.

The songs of this film were quite enchanting and a few of them became very popular. Especially the solo song “Baharon ne jise chheda” by Mukesh and the duet “Maine dekhi jag ki reet ” by Mukesh and Shamshad Begum are heard even today by song lovers – which includes me too !
