Hullo Atuldom

‘Indian Idol’ a program that is aired on a satellite television channel has episodes that have contestants sing songs that are topical or paying tribute to legends of yesteryears. So we have had episodes dedicated to Kalyanji-Anandji, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Tanuja, Sharmila Tagore etc. I was super disappointed to have missed a few episodes- ones that celebrated Kishore Kumar, 75 years of Rajshri Productions etc. Thanks to Apps of the various channels we are able to see these episodes at will and the one episode I regretted missing is the one that was telecast on 5th November. It was a supremely surprising episode that featured Meenakshi Seshadri.

Today 16th November 2022 is the one hundred and fifth birth anniversary of Chitragupt Shrivastava (born on 16.11.1917 and passed away on 14.01.1991). He is better known by his name Chitragupt.

Music director Chitragupt had a long journey in Hindi Film Music since 1946 to 1988 (as per information available). However some sources mentions ‘Chandaal-1998’ as his last film where he is credited with one song. This needs to be checked and authenticated. The titles of this movie don’t mention his name as a music director. (His sons Anand-Milind composed music for this movie.).

(She turned eighty-one this 7th October 2022 ).

Nowadays it is happening with me regularly that whenever I come across a new song (newer to me) I check for its movie name, and when I became aware of the name of the movie I check it on the blog. I am under the impression that this movie surely is on the blog. But, when I found that the movie is not yet available on the blog, I do not believe it and keep checking many times in various lists  . The recent such instances is the movie ‘Taxi Chor-1980’ and another one is the today’s movie.

Today’s song is from the 1961 movie ‘Sampoorna Ramayana’.

‘Farmaaish’ of this song was also sent by our regular reader Shri. Deepak Patwardhan ji to me.

Today’s song is sung a Lata-Asha duet and that was the main reason of Deepak ji’s ‘farmaaish’ as he was surprised to note that this ‘duet’ has not yet been posted on the blog.

Hullo Atuldom

Indian films have seen many jodis (meaning duos) of writers, music directors, actors, actresses, hero-heroine etc. Something about these duos or pairs or jodis make them appealing in the minds of movie-watchers. Can we think of Dilip Kumar sans Madhubala, Raj Kapoor sans Nargis, Dharmendra sans Hema Malini, Amitabh Bachchan sans Shashi Kapoor or Vinod Khanna or Rishi Kapoor or many of the actresses that he was regularly paired with? Similarly we think of Salim Khan & Javed Akhtar in the same breath as also Husnlal-Bhagatram, Kalyanji- Anandji and Shankar- Jaikishan. What I have mentioned are pairs in Hindi films, I am sure there would have been & will be such pairs in films of other languages too and all of which were popular once upon a time & are still recalled fondly. When we speak of these pairs we cannot think of one without the other.
