Today’s song is a DayDream song video from the film Brandy ki Botal-1939.

The period of early Talkie cinema was interesting in many ways from the point of view of Cinema history. The experimental attitude of the filmmakers allowed the audience to enjoy a variety of subjects of life. Not only this, but due to studios like Prabhat, Huns, Maharashtra Film co. etc making bilingual films in Hindi and Marathi, gave a taste of Marathi style of acting and pronunciation of the dialogues. Exposure to Marathi actors, who acted only in Marathi films, had a typical accent, diction and style of delivering the dialogues which , at times, sounded funny and odd. The Hindi language that was used in these Bilingual films from Maharashtra was sprinkled with ” Hindi-ised” Marathi words, which, though not completely wrong, were rarely used in day-to-day use in the Hindi Belt. One example would be ” मैं तुम्हारी बाट ( वाट in Marathi) देखूंगी “…. which simply meant ” I will wait for you ” !

Similarly, Bilingual films from Bengal were different. These films used ultra-pure Hindi language which one found, possibly, only in decorative novels and Hindi stage dramas of yore. Bengal- made Hindi films insisted on using such language in film dialogues where, sometimes, the audience felt they were getting lessons from a Hindi class ! When a boy tells a girl “मैं तुम से प्रेम करता हूं, मेरा हृदय अर्पण करता हूँ ” in these films, the Hindi belt audience got busy in deciphering it as ” मैं तुमसे प्यार करता हूं. मैंने मेरा दिल तुमको दे दिया ” and by that time the film rolled further !

This apart, these films did the important job of National integration of the East and West culture for the rest of India. Later on, in the period from the release of the film ‘Chandralekha’-1948, from the Madras stable, it opened yet one more Bilingual gift of Tamil/Telugu-Hindi films. This brought in the southern style of acting, dialogues, diction and a special “Madrasi Hindi” (used only for describing and not with any ill intent please). Their period Costume films initially with family dramas and socials later on, added the much loved Southern Flavour to Hindi films, on an All India basis.

The year was 1939 and the British Government had declared war against Germany and Japan, as soon as the WW II began. All countries ruled by Britain were – willingly or unwillingly, drawn into the war efforts and its effects. The war began in the month of September and soon various restrictions came into operation – like rationing, blackouts, shortages etc. The film industry which was still under its development stage suffered. It also realised the importance of remaining united as one industry. However, all that came after 1 or 2 years. In 1939 there was not much effect seen on the film industry.

The industry had its own problems. In spite of the playback system in operation, their problem was that because there was no technique of recording from the film negative yet, the singers had to sing twice. Once for the actual film shooting of the song, and later, with the same set of orchestra, for commercial records. Sometimes, the original singer was not available due to any reason, some other singer had to sing for commercial records. Thus we have many such examples, where the singer in the film song and the record is different. However, this problem continued only till mid 50’s when the Tape and the required technique became available. With just one time recording, the film and commercial recording were taken care of.

Khemchand Prakash. K.Datta (Datta Koregaonkar), Rafiq Ghaznavi and Anupam Ghatak made their Debut as Music Directors. Kavi Pradeep wrote his first film song for film Kangan. In 1939, 2 most Unusual songs were presented, for the first time . One was a Multi-Lingual song from film Aadmi-39, a film by Prabhat….Kis liye kal ki baat. This song was in Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Gujarati, Bangla, Tamil and Telugu. ( In its Marathi film version-” माणूस “, this song was only in one language-Marathi.) Different Lyricists and MDs were used for each language. The song became very popular.

Second unusual song was from film ‘ Ghareeb ka Laal’-1939. The song lyrics had the names of 32 artistes, operating in Hindi films that time. Top Heroes and Heroines were mentioned in this song. The beginning of the song was ” Tuze Bibbo kahoon ya Sulochana, Uma shashi kahoon ki Jamuna “. This song was sung by the comedian Mirza Musharraf. In later years many songs with film artistes’ names came but none had so many names. Thus this record is still unbroken, in case of this song.

Besides these songs, let us quickly take a look at some films of 1939….

Aadmi – Prabhat’s hit film, a remake of the Marathi film ” माणूस “. It had some good songs by Shanta Hublikar, Sundarabai Jadhav and Ram Marathe.

Adhuri Kahani – a trend of Tragedy films set by the effect of film ‘Devdas’. All the 3 main characters of this film commit suicide in the end.

Badi Didi – A New Theatres film.

Brandy ki Botal – Master Vinayak’s comedy remake of Marathi film ‘ ब्रॅंडीची बाटली ‘.

Dil hi to hai – Debut of Kidar Sharma as a Director and Ramola as a Heroine in a Hindi film.

Dushman – New Theatres’ film of Saigal, with only his 4 songs.

Ek hi Raasta – Sagar presents first film with 3 Heroes in one film.

Ghazi Salauddin – Debut of Khemchand Prakash as M.D.

Hukum ka Ikka – First film with a Triple role by Umakant Desai ( who later specialised as Lakshman in 7 films, including Ramrajya-43).

Imaandaar – Debut of actress Shamim Akhtar.

India in Africa – This was the First Hindi film to be shot abroad (in Africa). The Hero B. Nandrekar had also gone to Africa for its shooting. Naaz-54 was not the first such film, though HFGK mentions it so.( Ref – pp 69, Maharashtra-The Birthplace of Indian cinema by Isak Mujawar)

Kangan – First of the 4 Hit films of Ashok kumar and Leela Chitnis, made by Bombay Talkies. Kavi Pradeep’s Debut as a Lyricist in this film.

Kapal kundala – New Theatres. Pankaj mullick’s hit song ‘ Piya milan ko jaana ‘.

Leather Face – Debut of Meena kumari as a child artiste.

Navjeevan – Debut of Hansa Wadkar as a Heroine- Bombay Talkies film.

Pukar – Hit film from Minerva Movietone. Naseem Bano sings ” Zindagi ka saaz bhi kya saaz hai….”

BRANDI KI BOTAL(1939), a Huns Picture Production was produced and Directed by Master Vinayak(Father of actress Nanda). The film was a remake of the successful Marathi film ‘ Brandichi Batali ‘ (1938) written and directed by famous Marathi writer/Dramatist P.K.Atre.

The cast included Master Vinayak, Meenakshi Shirodkar(Grandmother of Shilpa and Namrata Shirodkar),Visnupant Jog, Javdekar, Salvi, Ashalata and Lyricist Pt. Indra etc.

Brandi ki botal was a story about morality and self discipline. The naively innocent Bagaram(Master Vinayak), a Municipality clerk, has to find and secure a bottle of Brandy, to restore the health of his Boss’s ill son. Bagaram secretly loves Malati (Meenakshi),boss’s daughter. For this reason, not knowing anything he sets about to search for a Brandy Bottle. The film is full of hilarious incidents. Finally, Bagaram gets the Brandy bottle, but Malati calls him Bhaiyya !

The role of Bagaram was done by Damuanna Malwankar, the famous Marathi comedian in the Marathi version and it was a grand success.

The music was given by Dada Chandekar(Shankar Vishnu Chandekar),and most of the songs as well as story, screenplay and dialogues were written by P.K. Atre himself. One song was by Pt. Indra. The singers were Meenakshi, Rajkumari and Master Vasant Eric.

Today’s song is sung by Meenakshi Shirodkar and Master Vasant Eric. The male voice that we hear in this song belongs to a singer named VASANT ERIC ( actual name Vasant Jadhav) or MASTER ERIC. He sang all the songs of Master Vinayak in Marathi and Hindi films, after the film Premveer-1937. Master Vinayak could not sing due to tooth problems and Master Vasant Eric used to sing all his songs. However in all such films Vinayak was credited with the songs instead of Eric.

Now, who was this Master Eric ? His real name was Vasant Jadhav. He was born in 1907 into a Marathi Christian family of Kolhapur. Bhalji Pendharkar selected him for acting and singing in Shyam Cinetone’s film Parth kumar-1934 (Hindi/Marathi) His pet name was Eric, so he became Vasant Eric and later on due to his singing, he was called Master Vasnt Eric. He joined Kolhapur Shalini Cinetone and worked with master Vinayak. He also worked in films like Aakashwani-34 and Honhaar-36. He sang songs in films from 1937 onwards. In all the Marathi/Hindi films of Vinayak he sang for him.

Vasant Eric knew Rattanbai. She introduced him to Ardeshir Irani and he employed Eric in his Music Department, playing various instruments and singing whenever needed. He acted and sang in films made by Huns, Navyug and Prafull films. In 1948, he gave music to a Marathi film. He was called by many MDs to play Chord Piano for their songs. The male voice in Lata’s First Hindi Playback song ” Paa laagu kar jori re” is that of Master Vasant Eric only.

His son Ravindra was an actor and daughter Hemlata Shankar (Jadhav) was a film dancer. His grandson Nitin Shanker is an arranger in Bollywood today. Master Vasant Eric died in 1982. (This information is based on an article in the book ” Marathi Chitrapat sangeet ” by Madhukar Potdar, with thanks.)

Hullo Atuldom

6th February 2022 followers of Indian music, across the genres of Bhav-geet, Film Sangeet, Bhajans and any other that we can think of, lost the most accomplished, sought after, loved (& any other add-ons that we know of) singer. She went by the name Lata Mangeshkar fondly addressed as Lata Didi by the multitude of her followers. She was the go-to voice (a modern day term for first choice) of all music composers for their debut films – remember ‘ghar aaja ghir aayi’ RD Burman, ‘Parasmani’ & its songs which was the first released film of Laxmi- Pyare. Even Madan Mohan is said to have approached Lata Mangeshkar to sing for his debut film ‘Aankhen’ but could get her into the recording room only for his next ‘ Adaa’ which released in 1951.

“Patita” (1980) was a movie that had music by Bappi Lahiri. He had Lata Mangeshkar sing some melodious songs which are in the “not so easily recalled” category. Songs like ‘baithe baithe aaj aayi mere mann mein’; “sunte sunte yeh meri kahaani” which were filmed on a very young Shoma Anand. The other actors in the film were Mithun Chakravarty, Raj Kiran, Vikram, Seema Deo, Ramesh Deo, Madan Puri, Sulochana etc. The movie was directed by I. V. Sasi who remade it from his own Malayalam film & Mukul Roy was the producer. Anand Bakshi was the lyricist for the film. The film had 5 songs of which 3 were Lata Mangeshkar solos & 2 Kishore Kumar solos. One Of Kishore Kumar solos is already on the blog with a post by Avinashji on 4 August 2018:-
Dil dhhak dhhak karne laga

Here is the next song today to wish the bright eyed, sweet looking Shoma Anand on turning 65 today. She made her debut in 1976 with Pramod Chakravarty’s “Barood” where Rishi Kapoor was her costar. She was a regular in many movies of the 70s, 80s, & 90s; though her run as lead actress was limited she was seen very often as the scheming sister-in-law, daughter-in-law etc. in family-dramas. She was most appreciated for playing BINA MATHUR in Ekta Kapoor’s (first television production) HUM PAANCH; a full-on comedy show.

The song with this post is a song which speaks about the aspirations of a young girl. I recall seeing this film on TV a few years back but cannot recall when the song happens, after she comes in contact with which of the heroes. From the video it looks like Raj Kiran is the trigger for the song but Vikram is also seen keeping an eye on the singer.

Thanking Bappida (whose death anniversary was yesterday) for giving us this Lata Mangeshkar melody.

In this article, I have taken up for discussion, ‘Tere Mere Sapne’ (1996) which was the first Hindi film produced by Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited (ABCL) after it commenced operations sometime in 1994. Before I discuss the film, it is necessary to dwell upon as to why Amitabh Bachchan felt setting up a film production and distribution company, how the Company fared and how the Company went into near bankruptcy. I think, ABCL is one of the appropriate case studies for the students of business management to understand what went wrong with ABCL and how Amitabh Bachchan turned the corner from near bankruptcy to the star of the millennium.

ABCL was set up by Amitabh Bachchan as a private limited company with a view to bringing a corporate culture in film production and distribution which hitherto was mostly confined to the individuals or sole proprietorship firms. The Company commenced business in 1994 and was professionally managed under a CEO and other senior professionals recruited from the market. It produced TV Serial, ‘Dekh Bhai Dekh’ (1993-94). ‘Tere Mere Sapne’ (1996) was ABCL’s first Hindi film produced with a small budget which was a semi hit. It also earned profit in the distribution of the film, ‘Bombay’ (1995). During the course of its business operations, the Company diversified into event management, talent management and TV marketing.

During the first year of its operations, the Company made a net profit of Rs.15 crore on a paid-up capital of around Rs. 60 crore which was a good beginning. Buoyed by the first year of the encouraging result, ABCL ventured into high budget films in line with the Company’s aspirations to become a big player in the film making and the distribution. To achieve this, it required huge cash-flows to finance the new film projects. During this period, ABCL also got rights to host Miss World Pageant, 1996 for the first time in India. Banks were ready to lend money to the ABCL against the personal guarantee of its major owner, Amitabh Bachchan whose brand value was high.

With loans from a consortium of banks, ABCL produced films in quick succession such as ‘Mrityudaata’ (1997), ‘Saat Rang Ke Sapne’ (1998), ‘Major Saab’ (1998) and ‘Aks’ (2001). In addition, it produced regional films, ‘Yuvathurki’ (1996, Malayalam) and ‘Ullaasam’ (1998, Tamil). Some of Hindi films were the ‘come back’ projects for Amitabh Bachchan. Barring ‘Major Saab’ (1998) which was a ‘semi hit’, all other films flopped at the box office, putting a strain on the cash-flows of the Company. While the Miss World Pageant was successfully completed, at the end, ABCL was reported to have incurred financial losses in hosting the event.

Within less than 5 years of its operations, ABCL was in a financial mess. By the end of 1999, its net worth was wiped out with a debt of Rs.90 crores. In an interview given by Amitabh Bachchan sometime in 2013, which appeared in many newspapers and magazines including India Today, he had said that at one time, ABCL’s debt was around 90 crores. Almost all the debt were raised against his personal guarantee. He had no wherewithal to repay. Creditors were lining up in his house, some threatening, some abusive and some even with court order for auctioning of his then residence, ‘Prateesksha’. It was at that time, ABCL approached BIFR to be listed as a sick company in order to get immunity from creditors for some time.

It was a temporary relief. Amitabh Bachchan needed to find a solution to the repayment of debt. At the spur of the moment, he walked down from his house to the residence of Yash Chopra and requested him to take him in his film. ‘Mohabbatein’ (2000) which was at the time in the planning stage. Yash Chopra obliged, and the film became a superhit upon its release. For Amitabh Bachchan, it was more of a moral strength which facilitated gaining his brand value. This success of the film also paved the way for offer from Star TV to host quiz-based reality show, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (2000) for 85 episodes for which he got Rs.15 crore. The stardom which he had almost lost on the big screen got it back through small screen. Amitabh Bachchan repaid ABCL’s debt with interest to all his creditors with the success of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, the advertising and endorsement fees and with the success of his subsequent films.

ABCL was restructured and renamed as Amitabh Bachchan Corporation. ABC has been in the business of producing films such as ‘Virruddh’ (2005), ‘Paa’ (2009), ’Shamitabh’ (2015), ‘Sarkaar 3’ (2017), ‘Goomar’ (2023) etc. It has also produced a few regional language films. ABC had learnt a lesson that the film production and distribution is a high-risk business. So, it is better to produce and distribute the films by joining hands with one or two more film producing and distribution companies with financial strength. Hence, almost all the films produced by ABC after 2005 were jointly with other film producing companies.

In the hindsight, one can say that Amitabh Bachchan was quite ahead of time in bringing the corporate culture in the film production and distributions business. Today, he must be a satisfied person to note that what he did for bringing corporate culture to film productions and distribution business in 1996 has now been operationalised to a large extent. Most of the major film producers and distributors, such as Dharma Productions Pvt Ltd (Karan Johar), Red Chillies Entertainment Pvt Ltd (Shah Rukh Khan), Yash Raj Films (Aditya Chopra), Viacom 18 Studios, RSVP Movies, (formerly UTV Motion Pictures, Ronnie Screwvala), Amir Khan Productions Pvt Ltd, Cape of Good Films (Akshay Kumar), Ajay Devgan Films, Salman Khan Films, Ashutosh Gowariker Productions Private Ltd, Reliance Entertainment etc are corporate entities.

Coming back to the film, ‘Tere Mere Sapne’ (1996), the debutant, Joy Augustine directed the film. The cast included the newcomers, Arshad Warsi, Chandrachur Singh, Priya Gill and Simran with Pran, Sulabha Arya, Bal Dhuri, Suresh Mathur, Manoj Pahwa. K D Chandran, A K Hangal etc. The story of the film seems to have been inspired from the novel ‘The Prince and the Pauper’ by Mark Twain (1882).

The story of the film is as under:

The film starts with Amitabh Bachchan narrating the background of the plot. Two boys are born on the same day – Rahul Mehta (Chandrachur Singh) born in a wealthy family settled in England and Balu (Arshad Warsi) born in a middle class South Indian brahmin family in Mumbai. Rahul’s parents had died when he was young. He has been brought up by his industrialist grandfather, Sambhunath Mehta (Pran). Balu on the other hand has been brought up in a brahmin family culture but he does not seem to have adopted that culture. Because of this, his father (K D Chandran) has been in logger head with him though his mother (Sulabha Arya) always defends him against his father.

The story is fast forwarded to 21 years later. Rahul wants to make a visit to India to see his parents’ grave (his mother was a Hindu, and his father was a Christian). But his grandfather is against it as he is afraid that he may also fall in love and get lost like his parents. After much cajoling by his manager, Ram Singh (Bal Dhuri) who will accompany Rahul during his visit to India, Rahul is allowed to travel to India. At the Mumbai airport, Rahul ditches Ram Singh and take a taxi driven by Balu.

During their taxi drive, Balu speaks bad thing about the rich boy who has come to India who has been born on the same day as he was but poor. Rahul reveals himself as the same rich boy and Balu is ashamed of what he said earlier. But both Balu and Rahul become friends. In his plans, Rahul has already decided not to go back to England as he is fed up with his rich but lonely life. To carry out his plan, Rahul offers Balu to exchange their places in the society. So, Rahul becomes a taxi driver and Balu becomes a rich Rahul. Rahul sends Balu to his Manager who has a tough time to groom Balu to behave like a rich Rahul.

With the exchange taking places, Rahul goes to Balu’s place and stays near their house. Here he falls in love with Parvati (Priya Gill) who is the sister of Balu. On the other hand, Balu in the role of Rahul attends a meeting of Mehta Industries, called by Mathur (S P Malhotra) who is in-charge of the company which is facing some labour troubles due to mismanagement. Balu falls in love with Mathur’s daughter, Pooja (Simran).

During a meeting with the management of the Mehta Group of Industries, the union leader (A K Hangal) discusses with Balu, acting as Rahul, the problems faced by the labourers because of the lock-out of the factory. Balu agrees to reopen the factory and decides to distribute a part of the profit among the labourers.

When Parvati’s father learns of the love affairs of Rahul with his daughter, he fumes as Rahul is not a Brahmin. Somehow, Balu manages the situation by telling Rahul to become a brahmin. On the other side, Sambhunath feels that all is not well in Mumbai with Rahul. He visits India to take the stock of the situation in his factory. With company’s control likely to go out of Mathur’s hand, he engages a gangster to kidnap Sambhunath to sign the papers handing over the factory to them. In time, Balu in the role of Rahul comes and tells Mathur that he is Rahul, and he would sign whatever papers, knowing well that he is not Rahul. Someone informs the real Rahul that his grandfather has been kidnapped by Mathur. Rahul and Balu join hands to successfully repulse Mathur’s plan and get Rahul’s grandfather freed. The film ends with Rahul and Balu marrying Parvati and Pooja, respectively.

‘Tere Mere Sapne’ (1996) had six songs written by Anand Bakshi and set to music by Viju Shah. I am presenting the first song from the film, ‘kuchh mere dil ne kahaa’ to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Hariharan and Sadhana Sargam. It is a love song when Rahul (Chandrachud Singh), a neighbour of Parvati (Priya Gill) falls in love with each other. The song is picturised on them as their imaginations.

The highlight of this song is that it has a mix of Carnatic music probably, in keeping with the fact that Parvati is a South Indian girl. The use of violin in orchestrations as well as in the visuals gives an interesting fusion of Hindi and South Indian films songs. The song picturisation is also interesting with some scenes having shot against the sunlight.

Rajesh Khanna – The Phenomenon – 12
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –- – –

Today 18th July 2023 is the ‘eleventh remembrance’ anniversary of Rajesh Khanna.

He was born on 29th December’1942 and he passed away on 18th July’2012.

Much has already been written about him in the media (print & digital) and on this blog and much has been known to movie-goers and general public too.

So I am not going to repeat it here again.

In the Indian Film Industry the Rajesh Khanna era started with ‘Aradhana’ in ‘1969’. Peoples like me, who were born in the end-sixties or early seventies and after that, were too young to witness that ‘mass hysteria’ that people with first hand experience are never tired of telling us.

Even in the reality shows nowadays on TV, guest celebrities who were co-stars of Rajesh Khanna always mention it that ‘irrespective of the controversies surrounding him and the negative aspects being talked about him he was a ‘great actor’ and nobody in the film industry have got the ‘love and affection’ from people like Rajesh Khanna got .

In this episode we are going to have a look at Rajesh Khanna movies from the year ‘1985’.

The year ‘1985’ saw as many as nine Kaka movies released during it. The list of these nine movies is as given below.

SNo Movie Title Director Passed by Censor Board Co-artistes

Out of the ten movies mentioned above one movie ‘Baayen Haathh Kaa Khel’ was not released and it remains an unreleased movie till date.

The movie ‘Baabu’ was passed by Censor Board in ‘1983’ but it was released in theatres in ‘1985’.

During 1983 to 1985 I was staying in Akola with my grand-parents for my 11th-12th studying there in vocational junior college. However as I have mentioned earlier I was more on ‘cricket’ and ‘movies’ than into my studies and finally I failed in the exams (as expected by me 🙂 ).

I remember I had watched ‘Zamaana’ at Akola before moving to Parli-Vaijnath as my 11th-12th was completed (or finished 🙂 ). Overall it was an ‘average movie’ if I am correct.

After reaching at Parli-Vaijnath I had joined a company for job and was working there. However, there was a cricket tournament at Akola and so my friends called me back there and I went to participate in this tournament.
During this time I had watched ‘Masterji’ there at Akola and I remember how disappointed I was, as I do not like the movie at all.

Then I watched ‘Oonche Log-1985’ at Parli-Vaijnath which had good music by R.D. Burman and everything was good in the movie except Salma Agha so this movie of Kaka was another flop movie.

The company I was working with at Parli-Vaijnath had their head quarter at Nagpur. Once I was sent for some work at Head Office at Vijay Nagar (near Sadar) Nagpur. After finishing the official work I took time to watch ‘Aakhir Kyon?’ at ‘Panchsheel’ theatre at Nagpur. I remember I liked this movie and Kaka’s role in it very much.

Out of the remaining movies from the list now, I remember I watched ‘Alag Alag’ and ‘Baabu’ at Parli Vaijnath either in theatres or in video parlors. The reviews of ‘Baabu’ were very good and the movie had a good collection too in its first week. But it didn’t keep it further.

I do not get to watch the remaining movies further.

If we take a look at the list of ‘highest grossing movies’ of ‘1985’ on IMDB it mentions the following Rajesh Khanna movies as ‘Hits’ in this list.

1) Hum Dono (of 1984) (rank 4)
2) Bewafaai (5)
3) Baabu (9)
4) Masterji (12)
5) Insaaf Main Karoongaa (13)
6) Zamaana (15)
7) Durgaa (of 1984) (18)
8) Aakhir Kyon? (20)
9) Alag Alag (33)

(There are 47 movies in IMDB’s list as highest grossing movies of ‘1985’ out of which the first 31 are considered as ‘super-hits’ (?) and the rest 16 as ‘average’ movies’. I hope this analysis must be supported by factual figures (?) The topper of this list is ‘Ram Teri Gangaa Maili’ about which nobody should have doubts of-course.)

Today I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Oonche Log-1985’.

‘Oonche Log-1985’ was directed by Brij for ‘Dynamo Enterprises, Bombay’.

It was produced by Sayeeda Sadanah, R.K. Kapoor, and R. P. Sharma.

It had Rajesh Khanna, Salma Agha, Prem Chopra, Preeti Sapru, Deven Verma, and Danny Denzongpa, Pradeep Kumar, Pinchoo Kapoor with Raza Murad in special appearance.

Story and screenplay of this movie was written by Surhid Kar. Dialogues of this movie were written by Ved Rahi.
Editing of this film was done by Waman Rao (I guess he is from the famous duo of Waman Rao Bhonsle-Guru Dutt Shirali).

‘Oonche Log-1985’ was passed by Censor Board on 06.05.1985.

This movie has five songs written by Anjaan and composed to music by R.D. Burman.

Kishore Kumar and Salma Agha had given playback to the songs in this movie.

The songs of this movie are very good if not great. Out of the five songs Kishore Kumar and Salma Agha have sung three solo and one solo song respectively. And one song is a duet song sung by Kishore Kumar and Salma Agha.

Here is the brief about the story of this movie…

Rai Bahadur (Pinchoo Kapoor) is big businessman and Jagdev Singh (Rajesh Khanna) is his son. Jagdev Singh gets married to a girl (I am unable to identify the actress) who has saved his life, against his Father’s wish who wants him to marry him with his friend’s daughter. Jagdev Singh leaves his father’s home with his wife and they are expecting a child.
Raju (who grows up as Rajesh Khanna later) and his mother met an accident by a car of Thakur Vikram Singh (Pradeep Kumar). In this accident Raju loses his mother while his father had already passed away earlier.
Thakur Vikram Singh brings Raju to his home to stay with them. However Vikram Singh’s son Maan (Danny Denzongpa as a grown up Maan) hates Raju while Vikram Singh’s daughter Poonam (Salma Agha as grown up Poonam) likes Raju.
Thakur Vikram Singh sends Maan to boarding school since he do not approves his habits and style of living.

Thakur Vikram Singh has a brother Thakur Pratap Singh who is a womanizer and spends money on alcohol and racing too. He is eyeing on his brother’s property and gets him smothered. Raju watches this which Pratap Singh is unaware of.

After Thakur Vikram Singh’s death Raju’s life becomes more miserable. Pratap Singh calls Maan back to home and throws Raju in the stable where a good soul Khan (Raza Murad) has a soft corner for Raju and treats him kindly always.

Raju grows up on bad treatment and constant beating by Maan for reason one another but doesn’t want to leave the place because of Poonam. Many times Poonam helps him and Raju also saves Poonam on several occasions too (like during horse riding, snake biting etc).

Raju and Poonam love each other which Maan gets noticed and beats Raju black and blue.
To save Raju from Maan, Poonam tells Raju that she didn’t love him. Raju decides to leave but in between Pratap’s men caught Raju on the way to get him killed.
They tie Raju with ropes to horses and dragged him to the hills and thinking him dead throws him for the vultures.

However Rai Bahadur and his accomplice Mubarak Ali (Deven Verma) with their gunmen and driver, who are on hunting around that location, save Raju.
Rai Bahadur is more than happy to meet his grandson which Raju also gets to know when Rai Bahadur shows him photographs of his father.

Now Raju becomes Rai Bahadur Rajiv Singh and on the other side Maan Singh is losing financially day by day due to wine, women, horse-racing and an embezzling uncle.

Rai Bahadur Rajiv now plans for his revenge with Maan so he sends a profitable business offer to Maan through Mubarak Ali and Maan starts losing more in shares on the advice of Mubarak Ali. There is a suspicion when Maan and Pratap meets Rai Bahadur Rajiv Singh or Raju however Raju never gives them a chance and keep them suspecting and he also starts flirting with Sonia (Preeti Sapru who is fiancé of Maan Singh). (That is also to hurt Poonam more)

Finally when Raju is telling Pratap about the secret of him which he is a witness to, Maan secretly listens to their conversation and the reality of Pratap is dawned upon him. Maan plans to take revenge of his father’s killing by Pratap and took Pratap near the valley and on the gun-point he gets Pratap Singh thrown in in the ‘valley of death’.

Raju returns everything to Maan and forgives Maan for his all cruelties on him, because his father’s kindness who had given him a shelter in his childhood after he lost his mother.
While Raju leaves the ‘haveli’ Maan asks his sister Poonam to go with Raju who is her true love.

***

Now one dialogues from the movie by Rajesh Khanna which I like most …

(This is when Sonia (Preeti Sapru) asks Raju (Kaka) why he is suffering (like a ‘ghulaam’) and questions him why he does not leave and lefts this place…)

“Shaakh kaanton ko sirf isliye bardaasht karti hai memsaab, ke us par kaanton ke saath saath phool bhi khilte hain.
Main bhi usi shaakh ki tarah hoon jo pyaar ke phool ki khaatir zulm aur nafrat ke kaante bhi bardaasht kar rahaa hoon”

***

Today’s song happens when Raju is feeding horses in the stable 🙂 and starts reminiscing about his childhood days with Poonam.

We have Rajesh Khanna (in Kishore Kumar’s voice) and also Salma Agha in the picturisation of this lovely song.

***

Now we will have a look on the Kaka movies released in ‘1975’ (ten years back of 1985) that is around forty-eight years back from now, we have the following movies of Rajesh Khanna released in the year ‘1975’.

Today’s song is the first song from the movie ‘Oonche Log-1985’ in the movie and on this blog too. This movie makes its debut on the blog today and joins the movie with the same title which was released in the year ‘1965’.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————
(Birthday – Music Composer-Rajesh Roshan)

Today 24th May is the sixty-eighth birthday of music director-lyricist Rajesh Roshan(born on 24.05.1955). He is one of my favorite all time composer.

I had earlier written about him in a couple of my earlier posts on the blog. So I am not going to repeat all that here again. One thing I definitely write again is that Rajesh Roshan’s songs are part of the ‘big nostalgia’ of my growing years and may be many people like me are fond of him and
his compositions .

Today on the occasion of his birthday I am presenting a song from the movie “Hamaari Bahu Alkaa-1982”.

It was directed by Basu Chatterjee for ‘Anuradha Films. Shyam Sundar Seksariya was the producer of this movie.

Basu Chatterjee also wrote the screenplay and dialogues of this movie. Story of this movie was written by Manoj Basu.

Editing of this movie was done by V.N. Mayekar.

The cast of this movie included Rakesh Roshan, Bindiya Goswami, Asrani, Prema Narayan, Utpal Dutt, Sudha Shivpuri, Master Raju, Ranjeet Sood, Manik Dutt, Aroop Ganguly, Lakshami, R.S. Chopra, Viju Khote Meghdoot, Manmauji, Pappu, Soni, Dev Sharma, Meena, Satya Bannerjee, Pratap, Jayshree T., Meena T., and others.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 12.01.1982.

I remember to have watched this movie at Akola, but I have forgotten about it by now. One thing that I still remember is that I liked this movie very much. It is movies like this one that I love to watch.

“Hamaari Bahu Alkaa-1982” has five songs. Three were written by Yogesh and two by Amit Khanna.

Music for this movie was composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Usha Mangeshkar, Amit Kumar, Shailendra Singh, Alka Yagnik and Peenaz Masani had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

Here is the list of songs in this movie:-

SNo Song Title Lyricist Singer/s
01 Soona soona soona ghar hota hai ek naari binaa Yogesh Lata Mangeshkar, chorus
02 Prem ki hai kya sun paribhaashaa Amit Khanna Kishore Kumar
03 Ham tum rahenge akele wahaan Amit Khanna Amit Kumar, Alka Yagnik
04 Ghar mein khul ke ham nahin mil sakte Yogesh Usha Mangeshkar, Amit Kumar, Shailendra Singh, Peenaz Masani
05 Pakka jaamun todo nahin Yogesh Alka Yagnik, Peenaz Masani

In my earlier post with the song of ‘Ratnadeep-1979’ I had mentioned about Basu Chatterjee – the director of this movie – having a great ‘ear’ for music. He mostly had Rajesh Roshan as music director in his movies. They have given some of the timeless classics and unforgettable songs in Hindi Film History.

They worked together in the following eight movies:-

SNo Title of the movie Passed by Censor Board Lyricist/s Music Director
01 Swaami 17.05.1977 Amit Khanna Rajesh Roshan
02 Khattaa Meethhaa 30.12.1977 Gulzar Rajesh Roshan
03 Priyatamaa 20.09.1977 Anjaan Rajesh Roshan
04 Dillagi 18.07.1978 Yogesh Rajesh Roshan
05 Baaton Baaton Mein 31.03.1979 Amit Khanna, Yogesh Rajesh Roshan
06 Manpasand 26.06.1980 Amit Khanna Rajesh Roshan
07 Hamaari Bahu Alkaa 12.01.1982 Yogesh, Amit Khanna Rajesh Roshan
08 Prateeksha 07.04.2006 Yogesh Rajesh Roshan

(I hope I have compiled the above table correctly. Readers can point out mistakes and suggest additions if any).

Today I am presenting another ‘signature composition’ of Rajesh Roshan from themovie ‘Hamaari Bahu Alkaa-1982’. I like this song very much. It is sung by Kishore Kumar. I was longing to share this song since long on the blog.

On screen the song starts in background first and then we can see Rakesh Roshan lip-syncing the song.

Lyrics are by Amit Khanna and music is composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Enjoy this wonderful song …

Situation of the song 🙂

Our hero (Rakesh Roshan) has got married but he is still studying. So his father (Utpal Dutt) wants him to spend focus more on ‘studies’ instead of spending more time with the ‘bahu’. As usual ‘jab ghar mein nayi bahu aati hai to bete ko kaun poochhtaa hai, waise hi yahaan bhi sab log din-bhar ‘bahu’ ke peechhe pade rehte hain, aur wo thhak kar raat ko jaldi so jaati hai. So our ‘newly married’ hero cannot spend ‘quality time’ with his wife (Bindiya Goswami).

His classmate (Asrani) suggests him to bunk the classes in day time and to go home, as at that time neither his father nor his younger brother would be at home so nobody should disturb the couple during that time…

The ‘hero’ is attending a class in the ‘class room’. He laeves the class room, and then he begins to dream of this song . 🙂

With this song, the movie “Hamaari Bahu Alkaa-1982” makes its debut on the blog…

Blog Day :

5070 Post No. : 16991

In one of my earlier articles here, I had mentioned that the month of June is one of my most favorite months. There are several important days in this month and different anniversaries of our close ones too (including me 🙂 ).

Today 5th June is one such important day. It is the ‘World Environment Day’ today.

Here again I will repeat what I have mentioned in my post for the short song “Ye Hanste Huye Phool, Ye Mehka Hua Gulshan”  from film ‘Pyaasa’ (1957) written for ‘Environment Day – 2017’ and posted on the blog on 08.06.2017 (instead of 05.06.2017).

I am approaching today’s post in a different manner. Instead of going into the details of the environmental agencies, their history and purpose, the significant environmental issues being faced by humanity on this planet, etc. I am thinking of our Hindi films and their music. The nature is so intimately connected herein. We cannot imagine our Hindi Film Music without ‘connecting with nature.

 Well, for today I would like to make a little correction in the above lines. That year 2017 the theme of the ‘WED (World Environment Day) was ‘Connecting with Nature’ and I had tried to connect the same with the songs, lyrics and music of our Hindi movies.

This year ‘2022’ the theme of the ‘WED’ is “Only One Earth – Living Sustainably in Harmony with Nature”. So I would like to add here that I am thinking of those Hindi Films which carried a ‘message’ related to environment and our planet ‘the earth’. And since this is the blog of songs we need a song to connect this celebration today.

The movie of today ‘Aasmaan Se Gira’ (1991) has a message for all of us in its climax. Today’s song, though doesn’t exactly match the theme of today, it connects to the ‘philosophy of life’ and alerts us that ultimately our destination is ‘one’ and we have leave everything here. So let us leave everything in a good shape, better prospects, and in compassion to the humanity and nature.  Leave the ‘shad-ripus’ (kaam, krodh, lobh, moh, mad, matsar) to attain ‘moksh’. I have listened and watch this song several times and it is an enlightening song woven in comical situation in the movie. The movie also needs to be watched even though it’s a movie for children.

In today’s post I am not going into the details of this movie which I had mentioned in my earlier article with other song of this movie earlier on the blog – “Ghar Jaana Hai Mujhe, Ghar Jaana Hai“. A brief about this movie is given below.

A young prince is being trained for a time when he will grow up to become king. The lonely boy is frustrated at being kept secluded while being taught the art of statesmanship by great scholars. One day while frustrated he is crying for help ‘a strange little man’ arrives in his room.

This ‘little man’ is from another planet. His name is Trishanku. Trishanku was travelling to attend the wedding of his friend, but since the ‘rays of sorrow’ from the little prince caught him on the way he lands there to help the little prince.

The prince and Trishanku exchange views about their own worlds. Trishankhu is homesick and wishes to return back to his planet. He has his three friends from his planet who had earlier lost their way after coming to earth and then stayed back on the planet earth thereafter. Each one of the three knows the ‘part of the mantra’ that will allow Trishanku to go back to his home planet.

The two-escape trying to find ways for Trishankhu to go back. On their journey they develop a deep bonding and it is hard for Trishankhu to let go.

When Trishanku meets each of his three friends, each one gives him one part of the mantra which is presented in the form of a song and that is our song for today. It is picturised in three parts on Anil Kapoor, Sheeba, Sridevi, and Anupam Kher. The forth part of the song is picturised on Trishanku i.e. Raghuveer Yadav who is singing it at the ‘Jantar Mantar’ from where he is supposed to find his way to his planet after singing the ‘mantras’. In all the four parts of the song the little prince i.e. Master Abhishek is present in the picturisation of this song.

Finally Trishanku lands on his planet and he enters the ‘darbaar’ of his master (God of Outer Planet) i.e. ‘Baadshaah-e-Kahkashaan’ played by Amjad Khan. And, there we have the following conversation between ‘Baadshaah-e-Kahkashaan’ and Trishanku, where the master has a message for all on this ‘Planet – The Earth’.

Trishanku – takai t takai t takai t … main aa gaya ‘baadshaah-e-kahkashaan’,
                      andar aane ki ijaazat hai?

Baadshaah – aao … der lagaa di tumne, chuk gaye shaadi, yaad karte rahe sab

Trishanku – main kya karta, ve tinon itni door door thhe ek yahaan, doosra
                      wahaan , teesra jaane kahaan, badi mushqil huyi

Baadshaah – kya dekha tinon ne, pataa nahin … nahin laute… manaa kiya maine,
                       nahin maane
                       moorkh
                       bewaqoof
                       prithvi ke log
                      nahin samajhte
                      itni achchhi prithvi achaanak nahin bani… mehnat lagi.. koshish..
                      tum to thhe… yaad hain?

Trishanku –  haan yaad hain

Baadshaah – barbaad kar diya prithvi ko… tahas nahas… jung golaa barood
                         hathiyaar ladaayi … ped tod todkar nangaa kar diya prithvi ko
                         paani mein zehar … hawaa mein zehar …
                         mutthibhar log, hukumat karte karodon par
                         anaaj hain, bhookhe rehte hain laakhon… anaaj bechkar hathiyaar
                         kharidte hain
                         moorkh!  moorkh!!  moorkh!!!

Trishanku        theek kehte hain …lekin sabhi wahaan aise nahin hai …ek bachchaa hai
                            kautuk …main uski madad karna chaahtaa hoon

Baadshaah        nahin, nahin, nahin, hamaara kaanoon hai, rishta mat banana
                             prithvi ke logon ke saath… madad mat karna un murkhon ki
                             koshish ki thhi pehle kabhi, gayi bekaar… bhool jaao…bhool jaao o

 Trishanku –      theek hai prithviwaale dusht hain, lobhi hain, moorkh hain …ek doosre ka khoon choosnewaale hain, ek jhande ke pichhe aapas mein lad mar jaate hain, anaaj bechkar hathiyaar kharidte hain,  lekin sabhi aise nahin hain..kautuk jaise log bhi hai wahaan, usne yahaan aane mein meri madad ki … main bhi uski madad karna chaahta haoon…

(After this Trishanku tells Baadshaah how good and friendly Kautuk is and what consequences he may be facing after being alone now.)

Kautuk wants to play , wants to fly kite, wants to eat mango.. but Maasheela is such a cruel queen who has prohibited everything for Kautuk and he cannot even go out of his palace… saying this Trishanku breaks into tears and Baadshaah surprisingly asks him what is flowing from his eyes and why. Trishanku explains him that this is the ‘gift’ he got from the ‘people of prithvi’.

Baadshaah orders to bring Maasheela to his darbaar. And when Maasheela (Kalpana Aiyer) threatens Baadshaah of his life, the Baadshaah wants to kill her but Kautuk intervene and request Baadshaah to forgive her and he begs him for her life. 

Trishanku – dekha kitne zulm kiye hain is aurat ne is par, phir bhi ye uske praanon ki bheekh maang rahaa hai…ise kehte hain kshamaa, prem, kautuk jaise aur bhi log hain prithvi par, jab tak aise log hain hamen prithvi se naa-umeed nahin hona chahiye

(Maasheela hugs kautuk and is emotional. She asks kautuk to forgive her misdeeds. She showers her love on kautuk.)

This incident brings tears to the Baadshaah and he forgives all and with the following message…

jaao kautuk jaao… jab tak tum jaise log prithvi par rahenge …prithvi rahegi
jaao aur apne duniya ke logon ko samjhaa do…
aapsi prem khatm ho jaayega kuchh nahin bachega sab kuchh khatm ho jaayegaa

Kautuk returns to prithvi after taking a promise from Trishanku to visit him on his birthday every year.

This heart-warming film by popular TV and film director Pankaj Parashar stars a galaxy of Bollywood stars in guest appearances including Sridevi, Amjad Khan, Anil Kapoor and Anupam Kher.

Before we enjoy today’s entertaining song I just wish that may there be many such movies and may such songs which I can present for occasions like today. We need to have more movies to bring the awareness on issues of environment and pollution.

Yesterday, it was there in the news that people are throwing dead animals into canals… Many must have seen the dumping sites where every day garbage heap is dumped and which are slowly turning into big mountains …

And last but not the least … keep watching children’s movies in between … not necessary that all children’s movies are for children only. People can learn a lot from them.

Also I would like to request the film-makers that ‘meaningful movies’ on the issues around us can be made for adult audiences too and they should not limit this for the children only.

It is good to see that in recent years there have been movies coming on ‘environmental issues’ too. We will keep presenting songs from such movies in the future on the blog.

Hullo Atuldom

10th October is the birth date of the ageless Bollywood Diva Bhanurekha Ganesan.

I don’t remember which was my first post on the blog on her birthday, but over the last few years I have been trying to write out a song and present her with an actor who was not one of her regular heroes; meaning someone except Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Jeeetendra, Rajesh Khanna, Vinod Mehra etc. Today’s song is also one such song.

This song is from the 2000 release “Bulandi” which was directed by T. Rama Rao. It had a cast of Rajnikanth (special appearance), Anil Kapoor, Harish (from South Indian films), and Rekha, Raveena Tandon, Aruna Irani along with Shakti Kapoor, Ranjeet, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Paresh Rawal, Sadashiv Amrapurkar in supporting cast. Songs of the movie were penned by Anand Bakshi and tuned by Viju Shah. The playback singers used were Udit Narayan, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Kumar Sanu, Anuradha Paudwal, Jaspinder Narula, Sukhwinder Singh, Abhijeet and Alka Yagnik -in short all the popular singers of the 90s.

The movie was the tale of a family of Zamindars which is headed by Rajnikanth who has a sister -Aruna Irani and three sons Anil Kapoor (double role plays two brothers) and Harish Kumar. Rekha plays the zamindar’s elder daughter-in-law who is the bhabhi-maa to her devars. And here I would like to mention that the two Anil Kapoors are not twins. Today’s song happens at the girl’s family meeting the boy’s family ritual and the older Anil Kapoor is the groom-to be. Aruna Irani the would-be atyaa (paternal aunt) starts the song as cue to the coy Bride-to-be who then begins singing and also fantasizing about her hubsand married life etc
There have been many instances when big a star/ actor accepts a role in a film because the main actor/ character is being enacted by a senior star/actor of whom the junior is a fan. Like for example, Amitabh Bachchan played Dilip Kumar’s son in Ramesh Sippy’s “Shakti”. Similarly Rekha played miniscule role in one of Dev Anand’s final movie, “Censor” and also one of Manoj Kumar’s last directorial.

Anil Kapoor did a second rung character in this film as he was sharing screen space with a senior (workwise)-Rekha. And the dance that accompanies sees Rekha and Anil Kapoor matching each other decently well. It is only recently I found out that there is just two year age gap between these two actors but one began working in 1966 (age 12) when the other might have been in school and not even given a thought to what career to pursue. That must be one of the reason why the viewer may feel that Anil Kapoor was acting with a much senior actress, she was a senior only because she was already in the entertainment business for 14 years before Anil made his debut.

The singers for this song are Kavitha Krishnamurthy and Udit Narayan.

Happy birthday to Rekha. May we keep seeing her on the silver screen.

Hullo Atuldom

This post sees the 20th November 1981 released “Gehra Zakhm” (as written in the titles of the movie) making its debut on the blog.
It is possible that the success of “Dada” (1979) prompted the casting of Amjad Khan in a pivotal role in this, since in that period he was known more for his negative characters. Vinod Mehra was the hero -just as in “Dada”. Ranjeeta Kaur, Kadar Khan, Sheetal, Jagdeep, Satyen kappu, Om Shivpuri etc formed the rest of the cast. Master Mayur played the young Vinod Mehra and Master Titoo played Amjad Khan’s childhood. Master Ravi plays the child who is rescued by Amjad Khan from Kadar Khan’s goonda and restored to his mother with some heavy duty dialogues to the effect that “maa se badhkar koi cheez nahi”. Jagdeep is Vinod Mehra’s (Vijay) friend who keeps urging the educated unemployed Vijay to live honestly and stop coming up with get-rich schemes.

Just before I started writing this post I had a look at the movie until the point of this song. It has Kishore Kumar and Sapan Chakraborty singing for Vijay and Jimmy (Jagdeep) as they go about on a cycle along the streets of Bombay by night. They are hoping that their fortunes change and they are able to enjoy the luxuries of life. Leena Das is the dancer in the last stanza.

This movie had two lyricists- Vithalbhai Patel and Nida Fazli- penning five songs that were set to tune by Rahul Dev Burman. Asha Bhonsle, Mohd Rafi, Bhupinder, Anand Kumar (have seen his name against a few songs, but no info on him), Amit Kumar, Suresh Wadkar and Udit Narayan were the other singers in the movie.

I chanced upon this song when I googled for songs of Kishore Kumar which were not by regular lyricists meaning Anand Bakshi, Rajinder Krishan, Majrooh etc. Not that I don’t like their work, it is just that we feel that KK has not sung any other writer’s work. I also have been trying to present songs which KK has sung for actors other that Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh.

As we all know one of Vinod Mehra’s earliest songs “geet gata hoon main” had Kishore Kumar giving playback. That had the distinction of being composed by Shankar Jaikishan and written by Dev Kohli and stood at number 18 in that year’s Binaca Geetmala.

To start of with he was a reluctant actor. His debut was as playback for Dev Anand. He had a solo and his first ever duet with Lata Mangeshkar in that movie after which Lata – Kishore duets have been a norm for all leading pairs. And we have 206 of those duets on our blog. We have many duets of Kishore Kumar on the blog where he has sung with Mukesh, Mohd Rafi, R D Burman, S Balbir, Amit Kumar, Mahendra Kapoor and Shailendra Singh. Today we have a song with a new partner.

The first decade saw him singing one or two songs per movie; the maximum 7 songs he sang was for “Jaalsaaz” in 1959 and 8 songs for “Suhana Geet” also in 1959. But people say that his best period was post “Aradhana” in 1969 but we cannot close our eyes to “Jewel Thief”, “Guide”, “Half Ticket”, “Manmauji”, “Jhumroo”, “Rangoli” and all the other movies for which he has lent his voice.

Yes, post 1969 he has been used for actors as varied as Sunil Dutt, Dharmendra, Jeetendra, even Pran and his own brother Ashok Kumar. Kishore Kumar’s voice has been used successfully for all heroes of the ’70s through the ’80s till death snatched him away from us 33 years ago.

Remembering this excellent actor, singer, producer, director, music director and artist on his anniversary.

Blog ten year challenge (2009-2019)- Song number 5
———————————————
Today is 8 february 2019. When I looked back at the movies whose songs were covered in the blog ten years ago on 8 february 2009, I found that seven songs from seven different movies were covered on that day. Six of these movies have been YIPPEED by now. The only movie, which still has a few songs left to be covered in the blog is “Gomti Ke Kinaatre”(1972).

“Gomti Ke Kinaare”(1972) was directed by Sawan Kumar for Mercury Productions, Bombay. This “social” movie had Meena Kumari, Mumtaz, Sameer, Rehman, Agha, Helen, Paintal, Asit Sen, Shyama, Chandrima Bhaduri, Tuntun, Daisy Irani, Master Alankar, Randheer, Sultan Mazhar, Manorama, Rajan Haksar, Nasreen, Lalita Kumari, Madhu, Aarti, Kamal, I S Johar etc in it, with special appearances by Jalal Agha and Mukri.

The movie had five songs in it. Three of these songs have been covered in the past.

This song is sung by Manna Dey and Asha Bhonsle. Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by R D Burman.

The so0ng is picturised on Agha and Helen. It appears to be a fantasy song where Agha has a Jin of Alladin Chirag. The Jin, on the wishes of Agha makes Helen appear to perform a dance. That is my understanding of the picturisation of this song. I request our knowledgeable readers to tell us what is happening in this song.

The movie hade its debut in the blog on this day in 2009 when I was based at Jabalpur. Next song was posted in 2011 when I was based at Nagpur, and the third song was posted in 2017 when I was based at Izatnagar, Bareilly. Now I am covering the fourth song from the movie while I am based at another new place.

The movie has another song left in it. Have no fear. Now that I am aware that only one song is left in this movie, I will cover the song without waiting to get transferred to another place. 🙂

Blog Day : 3649 Post No. : 14489

Long long ago, K L Saigal sahab had sung about a bungalow. “Ek Bangla Baney Nyaara“. In that song Saigal sahab fantasized about living in a bungalow with his family.

Four four decades, no other hindi song coveting a Bungalow came about. It was in 1977 that another Bungalow song came about. This time it is a lady who fantasises about living in a bungalow. Unlike Saigal sahab, she is not willing to share it with her kunba though. She wants to share it only with her balma who must be anaadi enough to agree to share his bungalow and gaadi with her. 🙂

This song is from “Aap Ki Khaatir”(1977). This movie was directed by Shudhendu Roy for Indu Pictures, Bombay. This social movie had Vinod Khanna, Rekha, Nadira, Helen, Kuljeet Singh Macmohan, Tuntun, Tarun Ghosh, Piloo Wadia, Subrat Mahapatra, Birbal, V Gopal, Mamaji, Dhanna lal, Manmauji, Madhup Sharma with guest appearances by Asrani, Sonia Sahni, Om Shivpuri, Merad and Janki Das.

This song has six songs in it. One song “Bambai Se Aaya Mera Dost ” became a suprise hit and drowned out the other songs from the movie. That one song is the only song from the movie to appear in the blog.

Here is this second song from ‘Aap Ki Khaatir’ (1977) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Lata with humming by Bappi Lahiri. Shailly Shailendra is the lyricist. Music is composed by Bappi Lahiri. The song is picturised on Rekha and Vinod Khanna.
