Today’s song is from a flop, obscure film, with a good star cast – ‘Garibi’ (1949).

Based on overall rating, there are 3 types of films…. 
1) Memorable Films – due to powerful story, acting, direction or music.
2) Films refreshed by memory when referenced in later years – films popular or hit for a short period and then forgotten till referenced in later years.
3) Totally forgettable films – from day one, due to poor/weak/unbelievable story, direction, music or outdated theme.Top actors, directors or MDs also can not save the film.

Mohammed Rafi – Tribute on 46th Death Anniversary

jee chaahtaa hai ae
jee chaahtaa hai iss duniya ko o o
main hanste hanste thukraa doon
jee chaahtaa hai ae
iss duniya ko o o
hanste hanste


This beautiful composition by Jaidev, was waiting ignored all this while. This blog now has more than 3500 songs by Rafi Sahab, and still gems are discovered every day.

Over the last few months, I have visited the blog intermittently, trying to keep up with the happenings. But it is not the same without my lap-top which is out of order. Lots of data about songs not posted is stored in it, and now I am feeling lost without it. Luckily, I chanced upon this song link on youtube. I have heard it before, and it is not posted, so 90% chances of link already saved in some file with songs to be posted.

Today’s song is from a social film ‘Rangeeli’ of 1952.

1952 was a year which was going through a lean period for Hindi films. Increased costs of film production, escalating rates of stars and music directors, establishment of star system in place of earlier studio system, increasing taxes, decreasing number of cinema halls etc caused a worry in the film industry. Financiers with black money were making films – in 1952 the number of Hindi films made went up to 105 from 97 of 1951, but dropped again to 98 in 1953. Most films were of lower quality. Because of superior music there were some great films too, but the situation was grave nevertheless.

When Atul started the series of “Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice”, he had asked readers to suggest actresses, whose name started with the letter B and whose Asha Bhosle’s song have not been covered on this blog. When he covered the letter B he kindly took up my suggestion of Bhanupriya. Bhagyashree was the other actress. I had also suggested Bipasha Basu, but the song suggested by me was only a background song and not lip-synched by the actress. As a comment to the B-instalment of Atul’s series, I also mentioned Bharati Sharma. So the next post, God-willing, will cover the song dil lagaane ko dil from Hai Golmaal in White House (2013).

Bhagyashree’s story is unlike that of most Bollywood actresses. Long before she became a household name, she was born into royalty. She hails from the illustrious Patwardhan family of Sangli in Maharashtra and is the great-granddaughter of Chintamanrao Dhundirao Patwardhan, the last ruling Raja of the princely state of Sangli during British rule.

This success led to both of them working as a lead pair in the next 12 films.
