Rafi Sahab’s Legendary Associations – 12

maiñ akelā hī chalā thā jānib-e-manzil magar
log saath aate ga.e aur kārvāñ bantā gayā
मैं अकेला ही चला था जानिब ए मंज़िल मगर
लोग साथ आते गए और कारवां बनता गया

Hullo Atuldom

4th August is very important for lovers of Hindi film music. It is the birth anniversary of Kishore Kumar who was fondly addressed as Kishore da. His birth name was Abhas Kumar Ganguly. He was the youngest among his siblings Kumud Lal Ganguly a.k.a. Ashok Kumar and Kalyan Kumar Ganguly a.k.a Anoop Kumar, being the older brothers. His sister was married to Shashadhar Mukherjee, co-founder of Filmistan Studio and later Filmalaya Studio. Kishore da’s wives (he had married four times) were Ruma Ghosh, Madhubala, Yogeeta Bali and Leena Chandavarkar who were all actresses. His son Amit Kumar is also a singer, actor & composer. As the saying goes “like father like son” or “walking in his father’s footsteps”. All this I am mentioning to show that Kishore Da was part of a family that has been in the entertainment industry from the 1930s (when Ashok Kumar began his career in the industry.)

Today’s song is from the film Aangan (1959).

The 50’s decade was the period in India, when after Independence, the entire Nation was trying hard to re-establish old traditions, joint families and building values among the next generation. However, the world was changing, becoming modern and there was a clash of the old and the New. All this, no wonder, was reflected in the films made during that period, because films always reflected the happenings in Society.

Tribute to Mohammad Rafi on 43rd death anniversary

We come to that day again, when the death anniversary of Rafi Sahab becomes the subject of talk, discussion, posts in the blog, awe-inspiring for learners and a deep-thinking day for die-hard fans like me.  As I grow older, the word ‘fan’ in this context sounds basic and amateur. Not that it is anything great for me to be a ‘fan’ per se, because I am but a speck on this mortal earth, whereas Rafi Sahab’s voice and songs have attained immortality.

Hullo Atuldom

This post of mine is one of those where I love to combine two celebrities/artistes. The two, who are the central to today’s post, have a sizable amount of work to show for their long innings in the film industry. There are a lot of songs of the actress yet to be posted as also around 1574 out of 4846 of the singer. After a lot of rummaging I found something that is appropriate for today.

In this article, I am taking up for discussion, an obscure Hindi film whose shooting started in 1971 but completely stopped in 1976 for multiple reasons. In the meanwhile, the director left the film. In 1993, the producer of the film took the task of directing the film and completed shooting within one year without the main actor. However, the film could be released only after 37 years from the date of the commencement of the shooting, on April 27, 2008, that too in few theatres of Maharashtra. The name of the film is ‘Yaar Meri Zindagi’ (2008).

Today’s song is from the film ‘Aadmi’ (1957).

Films with the same title were made in 1939, 1957, 1968 and 1993. In addition, there were 7 films made with titles beginning with the word ‘Aadmi’, like ‘Aadmi aur Aurat’ etc.
