This movie’s story happens on a cruise ship. Cruise ship travel is still out of affordability area for the common people in India. I do not know anyone who does this type of travel or holidays. The way of life involving Yachts, Marinas and Cruise ships is very foreign to India. I saw one cruise ship in Liverpool. I saw some people who were from that ship roaming around the harbour area, with the Beatles museum, and the eateries, a very ordinary boat ride around the inner harbour/backwaters. They stood out as they were not casual tourists. At least I thought so, as I pride myself on my powers of observation and differentiation.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 8
The film “Dil Se” released in 1998, and by this time A. R. Rehman, has revolutionized the Hindi film music. With the south Indian flavour to his compositions, with various talented singers from the region were flooding the hindi film music world. Mostly his films would be originally made in Tamil, Telegu or Malayalam, and later remade in hindi or sometimes just dubbed in hindi.
His music and rerecording the songs in hindi required, rewriting the lyrics in hindi/urdu to mean and sound the same in hindi films. It was a difficult task for lyricists like Mehboob and later on Gulzar to retain the meaning and spirit of the earlier songs, while converting them for the larger hindi film audience.

In Hindi films, in addition to heroines, there would be one or two secondary female characters. For examples, in the love triangle involving the hero, there would be ‘other woman’. To create a rift between hero and the heroine, there will be a vamp. Then, Hindi films’ model box office formula stories also require female characters of seducer, westernised women of high society, courtesans, hero/heroine’s sister and friend etc. There were some popular actresses who were known for doing such character’s roles like Kuldeep Kaur, Shashikala, Nishi, Aruna Irani, Helen, Bindu, Faryal, Naaz, Nazima and many more during 1950s to 1970s. There were some lesser known actresses doing such roles, one of them being Lolita Chatterjee. This diva from Kolkata with her glamorous look, drew the attention of Hindi film makers during mid-1960 to mid-1970.

Today’s song is from a Special Film – Raj Laxmi-1945.
The film was made in Calcutta by M.P. Productions. It was directed by Premendra Mitra and the music was by 2 MDs namely, Robin Chaterjee and Dhiren Mitra. Lyricist was Suresh Chaudhari. The cast of the film included Kanan Devi, Chhabi Biswas, Poornima, Jahar Ganguly, Iftekhar Ahmed, Puri, Talat Mahmood etc etc.
I called it A SPECIAL FILM, because it was Talat Mahmood’s first Hindi film in which he sang a Hindi song. Earlier he had sung a few NFS and a few Bangla songs in Calcutta. The film was made in Calcutta by M.P.Productions, so everyone connected to the film was from the Bangla cine world.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 7
The revival of the series on A. R. Rehman is beginning with this post. The last post in the series was this song.
I apologise for my tardiness in leaving the series like this for 2.5 years. None but myself to be blamed for not taking the targets/tasks seriously. Maybe that is the reason none of my series appear in the list of series posted in the blog.
Koyi nai, I plough on doggedly. Not that it is a hard task to find ARR gems, sometimes forgotten in decades old fog. Take the songs of “Saathiya” for instance.

Matinee idol and popular hero of Hindi films Mr Shashi Kapoor played the role of Vikram, hero of Hindi movies, who is philanderer and spoiled brat. Despite, he being married with beautiful Mala (Aparna Sen), he falls in love with a visiting journalist Lucia (Mrs Jennifer Kendall Kapoor). Extra martial affair, as we have experienced always ends with violence and in this case also the outcome was no different .
