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.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
———————————————————————

In this post I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Mazdoor-1983’.

While covering songs from movies released in 1983, I had mentioned that it was
an important year of my life as I had appeared and successfully passed the 10th standard Board exams that year. The other important and unforgettable event of the year was India winning the ‘World Cup of Cricket’ that year.

For Cricket fans like me that summer of 1983 turned out to be the most memorable and unforgettable as Kapil’s Devils clinched the ‘first world cup title’ for India in June’1983. Given my age that time I was more interested in cricket, movies, books, and study to pass the important examination.

“Bombay Talkie” (1970) is a film by Merchant Ivory Productions, with a screenplay by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and James Ivory. The movie starred Shashi Kapoor, Jennifer Kendel, Aparna Sen, etc

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 .

Mukesh and his Composers – 44

Basant Prakash was the younger brother of famed composer Khemchand Prakash.

While Khemchand Prakash became immortal due to the popularity of songs in Mahal (1949) and among the pioneers of HFM, Basant Prakash is hardly remembered despite composing about a dozen films albeit a few were with other composers.

Whenever Basant Prakash’s name is taken, mention of his short stint with the famous movie Anarkali (1953) is inevitable. It is said that Filmistan’s S. Mukherji first approached C. Ramchandra to compose the film’s music. C. Ramchandra insisted on all songs to be sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Since Geeta Roy was the preferred singer for the producer, Basant Prakash was approached who started work on the film.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Laila Majnu-1945.

1945 was the year when the devastating II World War ended and the film industry heaved a sigh of relief. Many irksome regulations were relaxed. There was no force now to make Propaganda films for war, no shortage of Raw Film and plenty of Finance available through black money , generated during the war times. However, the year saw only 73 Hindi films made.
