Hullo Atuldom

With this post we wish Indian playback singer, and occasional music-composer, Sishtla Sreeramamurthy Janaki, (better known as S. Janaki) on her birthday on 23rd April. She turns 88 today.
She is one of the best-known playback singers in South India who has recorded nearly 48,000 songs in all the South Indian languages and Hindi, Sanskrit, Odia, Tulu, Urdu, Punjabi, Badaga, Bengali, Konkani etc. put together (I suppose) That is why I have called her INDIAN playback singer. She is also said to have sung in English, Japanese, German, and Sinhala. She is one of the most versatile singers in India. The language in which she sang the most songs in her career was Kannada, followed by Malayalam. She is widely acclaimed as the “Queen of Expression and Modulation”.

Today’s song is from an obscure, social film-Deep Jalta Rahe-1959.

India has been, from the beginning, a prolific producer of films.Films have become an inseparable part of Indian people. Earlier there were other sources of entertainment like Radio, dramas, travel, Jatras, get togethrs etc. But now Entertainment means only films.

In January 2022, Shri Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji of Jodhpur- a well known Musicologist and a collector of exclusive records- published some statistics on RMIM forum about Hindi films. According to it, the total number of Hindi films from 1931 to June 2017 (86.5 years) was 12891, giving an average of 150 films per year. The averages per decade till the year 2000 came to 134 films, but in the next 16.5 years the number of films was 208.

(Debutant Movie – Dilwaale Dulhaniyaan Le Jaayenge-1980)

‘Le jaayenge le jaayenge, dilwaale dulhaniyaa le jaayenge’ from ‘Chor Machaaye Shor-1974’ has become a cult song. The phrase ‘dilwaale dulhaniyaa le jaayenge’ has become an phrase that compulsorily gets used in Indian wedding related matters. It became one of the must play song in Indian baaraat procession. Half a century have passed since this song was created and this song is still going strong in wedding circles. 21 years after this song was created, a movie was made with the title ‘Dilwaale Dulhaniyaan Le Jaayenge’-1995, which was without a doubt a tribute to the iconic song of ‘Chor Machaaye Shor-1974’. The movie became a super duper blockbuster.

However, that 1995 movie was not the first movie with that title. Same title ‘Dilwaale Dulhaniyaan Le Jaayenge’ was used in a movie of 1980, but this movie went unnoticed and had ended up as an obscure and rare movie of its time. I am not even aware if this movie was ever released, because I had never heard of this movie until I got my copy of Geet Kosh Volume-V (1971-1980) in the year 2015. After becoming aware of the existence of this movie, I was looking for the songs of this movie. The songs from this movie were not available easily. Somehow today morning when I was browsing for other songs I noticed that a few songs from this 1980 movie are now available on internet. So, today I am presenting the first song from this movie.
