Today’s song is from the film Khamosh Sipahi-(1950).

The film was made by Maansarovar Pictures, Bombay, owned by Dinanath Madhok, who was not only its producer, co-director, story and script writer but also its Lyricist. The music was by Hansraj Behl and the film had its co- director Ram Kamlani, the youngest brother of comedian Gope. HFGK gives only 4 names in the cast-Nigar Sultana, Sohan, Gope and David. Surely there must be more artistes but they are not mentioned. This is one of those films which is not available now and no information about its story is available anywhere.

‘Sutradhar’ (1987) was an off-beat film which was directed by Chandrakant Joshi. The main cast of the film included Smita Patil and Nana Patekar in the lead roles, supported by Girish Karnad, Gajanan Jagirdar, Nilu Phule, Ashalata Wabgaonkar, Madhu Kambikar, Kamalakar Sarang, Shrikant Moghe, Irshad Hashmi, Master Hrishikesh Joshi etc. Sudheer Moghe wrote lyrics and composed the songs for the film. The film was certified by Censor Board on 31/01/1986 and may have been released a year later as the film’s credit title starts with the film being dedicated to the late Smita Patil who passed away on 13/12/1986. As far as I know, this was the only film in which Smita Patil and Nana Patekar acted together in the lead roles.

Today’s song is from a Hindi film, dubbed from Tamil. In Hindi its title was Sitamgar (Tyrant) (1958).

Films titled “Sitamgar” were made in 1934, 1954, 1958 and 1985. The 1954 film “Sitamgar” was a C grade stunt film. I do not know about the films made in 1934 and 1985.

The Voice of Mukesh #72
– – – – – – – – – – – – –

I am sure the regulars will remember. Reviving this series after a gap of almost seven years. When I paused working on this series, I had already posted 71 of some of the most rare, less heard and not easily available songs of Mukesh. The songs posted were mainly from the decades of 1940s and 1950s. Although I had clicked on the pause button back in 2016, the work to bring on board more of Mukesh songs did continue. And it still does, with the tireless research effort of our resident Mukesh expert and mureed (मुरीद), dear Mahesh ji.

Today’s song is a bhajan from an obscure film ‘Mali’ (1944), which makes its Debut here.

The film is about a Marathi Sant SAVTA MALI, who is not known much outside Maharashtra. He was one of the saints during the Bhakti Movement in India. The film was made by Rajkamal Chitra, as a bilingual film. In Marathi it was titled ‘Bhakticha Mala’ (‘भक्तीचा मळा’) and in Hindi it was ‘Mali’ (‘माली’). It was directed by V Shantaram.

I was not aware of a film titled ‘Parinati’ (1986) which is pronounced in Hindi as परिणति (Inevitable). In fact, when I came across the title of the film on the internet a few days back, I was subconsciously reading it as ‘Parineeta’. The film was available for viewing on one of the video sharing platforms. I watched the film last week and found it to be gripping and heart wrenching.

Today’s song is a traditional bhajan from a Mythological film Shabri-1947.

This was a Mythological film, the story of which we all know since our childhood. This was a film made in Calcutta by Rajeshwari Kala Mandir. The film was directed by R.C.Deepak. He seems to be a “One film wonder” in direction. Lyricists names are not mentioned in HFGK or internet. The Music Director was Pt. Ganapat Rao. There are 12 songs, but details of only 3 songs (including one two sided song sung by Jaganmoy Mitra aka Jagmohan Sursagar) are available. The cast of the film was Molina, Gopal Mehra, Biman Banerjee, Kishore, Premkumari, Beena, Preetidhara and Sunder singh. All these, except Sunder, look like Bangla artistes, for whom information is difficult to collate, barring Molina.

Hullo Atuldom

27th June – a favorite music director, singer and one-time actor would have turned 84. His name at birth was Rahul and his parents were Meera & Sachin Dev Burman. Yes, we are thinking of the music influencer who was active from the 1960s to the 1990s – Rahul Dev Burman who was also fondly addressed as Pancham.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1973-Hifaazat-23)
——————————————-—————————

Today we pay our tributes to one of the greatest music directors of Hindi Cinema i.e. Rahul Dev Burman. He was born on this day i.e. 27th June, 1939 and passed away on 04th Jaunary, 1994. Had he been alive today he would have turned eighty four years old. But he left us at the age of fifty-five only. In his last days he suffered on both health ground and mentally he was upset for treatment given to him in those troubled days by the industry and peoples around him.

Today I am presenting a song from a lesser known movie where the music was composed by RD Burman. This movie is ‘Hifaazat’ from 1973. This movie is making its debut on the blog today.
