This song under discussion is “Jis Ke Liye Mera Dil Jaley” by Asha Bhosle. It is written by Anand Bakshi and is composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal. The song is from “Haseenon Ka Devata” (1971).

The film blends suspense, romance, and espionage, in a style similar to Nagaich’s other spy thrillers like Farz, Keemat, etc.

Today’s song is from the film Piya Milan-1958.

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.

Today’s song is from the film Shahnaaz-1948.

This film was directed by a Comedian- Shaikh and the music was by Singer/Actress Amirbai Karnataki. The cast of the film was Begum Para, Altaf, Nihal, Shanta Patel, Gulnar, Shama Dulari, Basheer , Shaikh and others. Most of the cast, except Begum Para and Altaf, was from C grade action films.

One of the interesting riddles the new “Old Film” lovers chew with interest is, who was the first woman Music Director in Hindi films. Time and again it has been proven, told, written and accepted that Bibbo aka Isharat Sultana was the First woman M.D., but still it is raised every now and then and the debate continues unabated.

Hullo Atuldom

June 22nd 1965, a young ‘approximately’ 18 year old girl, from a small town in Andhra Pradesh, got married and relocated to the metropolitan city called Bombay. After about 23 years, another young girl ‘approximately’ 22 years old, from Bombay got married & relocated to an ‘even more’ small (i.e. smaller than the Andhra Pradesh town mentioned in the opening sentence) town in Tamil Nadu. I mean a case of ‘ulti Ganga’. But we shall not talk of the second girl in this post, the subject of this post is the first girl.

Yesterday, I was watching the song, gumsum saa ye jahaan ye raat ye hawaa from the film, ‘Duniya Jhuktee Hai’ (1960). An idea came to me as to how many Hindi films songs may have the word ‘gumsum’ in the first line of the mukhda of the songs. I checked on the internet and found that over two dozen songs had the word, ‘gumsum’ in the first line of the mukhda. There may be more Hindi film songs with ‘gumsum’ but they may appear elsewhere in the songs. I selected few such songs to watch/listen. One of ‘gumsum’ songs which I heard for the first time and liked so much that I must have heard umpteen times. It is a beautifully crafted song in terms of lyrics, rendition, orchestration and the picturisation. The song is ‘gumsum kyun hai sanam o zaraa maan jaa’ from the film, ‘Bhala Maanush’ (1979) which I am presenting in this short write-up, concentrating mainly on the song. Gulshan Bawra wrote this song.
