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.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Maa Baap ki Laaj’-1946.

The film was made by Hind Pictures – owned by actor, director and producer Nazir Ahmed Khan. However, in this film, though he acted as the Hero, he did not direct the film. The film was directed by Nanubhai Bhatt. For Nanubhai this film was a ‘ hard to come by’ social film for direction, because he was known as a director for B and C grade stunt and costume films only. The cast of the film was Swarnalata, Nazir, Jayant, Kusum Deshpande, Majid, Gulab, Anwari and many others.

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.

In my last article, I had made a passing reference to the film, ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar’ (1992) in the context of the prelude music of one of the songs of the film which is the inspiration for the prelude music of the song that was discussed in the aforesaid article. This film suddenly reminded me of its director, Mansoor Khan who had successfully directed ‘Qayaamat Se Qayaamat Tak’ (1988) and some more. From his filmography, he directed his last film, ‘Josh’ (2000) and was the co-producer of ‘Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Naa’ (2008). It is a rare instance for a film director who has successfully directed four films in a row and vanished from the film industry. It was an interesting quest for me to know as to why he shunned the film industry.

Today’s song is a duet by Rafi and Chitalkar from the social comedy film Hangama-1952.

This is my 1300th post on this Blog. Is it for real ? It is too difficult for me to accept that I have written 1300 posts on old film songs. How did it happen ? If someone had predicted, when I was 71 year old, that I would write a New Chapter in my life and achieve few Milestones, that my name will be known to many people all over India and other countries, and that I will even write a couple of books…. and all this on old films and its music, I would have laughed aloud for a long time ! But it did happen !!

Exactly one year back (on 6 February 2023) I debuted on this blog as a contributor. Then I had said to my ‘technical support’ Avinash ji, “I will be sending at least one post per month”. He had enthusiastically and encouragingly replied then, “Sir Ji, do it once a week. I am there with you.” It is one year or twelve months or fifty- six weeks now to that day and my contribution on the blog is total three posts only instead of ‘fifty-two’ posts :). These three posts includes the one recently posted on 22nd January this year on the pious occasion of Shree Ram Praan-pratishthha at Ayodhya (this was actually a hurriedly planned post and I had written it in around fifteen minutes or so).
I never stop wondering at the capacity of the regular (or frequent) contributors on the blog particulary like our Shri Arun ji, Sadanand Kamath ji, Peevesie’s Mom ji et al. Atul ji of course, goes without saying.
