Here is a song from film called Parichay-54. This song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar. The song is a different type of a fast paced song, the like of which Lata is not normally known for. The pace of the song reminds me of another fast paced song, “Mohe lagaa saraa jag feeka feeka re balam, which Lata sang for film Jhanjhar-53 under the baton of C.Ramchandra. The story of Jhanjhar-53 was set in Malaysia and hence C.Ramchandra had used a Malaysian fast tune in that film. However, in film Parichay the story is set in India, But the Music Director of this song had used a fast tune to suit film situation.

Hullo to all Atulites
So let us have a song today(11 november 2016) to wish the Bengali/ Nepali beauty Mala Sinha on her 80th birthday. I don’t remember when was it that I became aware of this sweet smiled, doe eyed and talented actress. Must be when I saw a song where she was running around singing “Neeli aankh milalo ji, dil mein aaj chuppa lo jee” or singing “yaa allah yaa allah dil le gaya”. But I must have also seen her sing “chupke se dil dai de de nahin te shor mach jayega” alongwith our own Rajesh Khanna. She looked very cute and naughty in all these songs. Who can forget her say “hum moond ke palkon ko iss dil ko sazaa de toh”; or her “bade naa samajh ho yeh kya chahate ho”; looks like I can go on and on and on with my list of favourite Mala Sinha songs (didn’t know I knew so many!) But then she slowly graduated to roles of playing slightly senior characters not like Nirupa Roy or Indrani Mukherjee’s mother act but more like Asha Parekh or Waheeda Rehman’s wife of the senior hero who gets a song or two as in some of her 80s and 90s movies.

In the 1940s, there were four main Hindi/Urdu/Hindusani movie producing centres in India, viz. Bombay (Mumbai), Calcutta (Kolkata), Lahore and Poona (Pune).
Bombay (Mumbai) had Ranjit Movietone, Calcutta (Kolkata), the New Theatres and Poona (Pune) had Prabhat Films as leading producers of Hindi/Urdu films. Lahore centre was dominated by Pancholi Art Pictures owned by Dalsukh Pancholi. He was also the owner of Lahore’s biggest film studio, Pancholi Art Studio during pre-independent period.

Hullo to all Atulwaasis
This post should have ideally appeared yesterday. But due to various reasons it remained unsent and the result is that we missed wishing a superstar who is first and foremost an actor; very versatile and untypecasted –much like the actor who we remembered on 6th November.

Hindi talkies got their start in the 1930s. Hindi Film Music, which started with them, took their own time to find their bearings. Their transition phase lasted several years when they underwent many changes (some of them path breaking ones) before HFM finally found their feet and settled down and got consolidated by 1940s.
I regard this transition phase of Hindi film music as the phase where solid foundation was laid that paved the way for the take off stage for the golden period of Hindi film music of the 50s and 60s.

Today’s song is from Safar-46. It was a Filmistan presentation which was the first film of C.Ramchandra in this company.
C.Ramchandra had worked in Jayant Desai Productions for the previous three years. He gave 5 jubilee films, Bhaktaraj-43,Zabaan-43, Manorama-44, Lalkaar-44, and Samrat Chandragupta-45 for this production house. He was getting only Rs.300 as salary. He had got married and needed more money now.

How many songs do we listen to during our lifetime? And how many of them do we actually remember? How many of them can we reel off or list out if asked to do so ?
It should lead to some interesting results if some reseach minded individual decides too carry our a research on the above topic.

Genius of Jaidev – 55
——————————-
1971 Social Film “Ek Thi Reeta” had eleven songs. Seven out of them are already covered in our musical Blog. This is the Eighth one. I do not have two songs mentioned earlier. If some research minded Atulite can find those two songs (One by Sara Kapoor and one English song) they are welcome to send me those in Audio or Video format. Till then, this one is the last song as far as I am concerned and Hari Ichchha permitting we will go to the next Jaidev Film after this.

Hullo everyone
Here is a typical Kishore Kumar song. Combining with RD Burman he gives us a bhajan, qawwali and Hindustani classical all at one shot. Such a song has entertainment value and Kishore Kumar doesn’t disappoint (has he ever?) And there are very few Bollywood actors who can carry it off with equal gusto.
Here we have our very own Sanjeev Kumar giving a paisa vasool performance.

These days I am looking for movies that have their music composed by our beloved late Pancham Da – R.D.Burman – and which are still missing from the blog. As of now I am focusing on movies from his earlier years.
