‘Toofaan Mein Pyaar Kahaan’ (1966) was produced by S H Munshi and was directed by Phani Majumdar. The cast included Ashok Kumar and Nalini Jaywant in the lead roles supported by Jayshree Gadkar, Lata Sinha, Sailej Prakash (debutant), Madhumati, Achala Sachdev, Tarun Bose, Tiwari, Sundar, Bhagwan Sinha etc.
In this film, I was impressed with the performance of Lata Sinha which reminded me that I had also seen her in many other films without knowing her identity. From her name, I guessed that Lata Sinha was from either Bihar or Jharkhand. I checked the cast of many Bhojpuri films but did not find her name. However, I found that she was the lead actress in the first Maithili film, ‘Kanyadaan’ (1965). She had also acted in a supporting role in the first Magadhi (Magahi) film, ‘Bhaiyya’ (1961). The common factors in both the regional films were the producer, S H Munshi and the director, Phani Majumdar, the same combination for the film under discussion.
From her filmography, I find that Lata Sinha has acted in as many as 40 Hindi films during 1955-79. With her long presence in Hindi film industry, it is surprising that very little information about her early life is available online. It is also surprising that she suddenly vanished from Hindi film industry. The only information I could get from Mike Burnum’s website, ‘Cinemajadoo’ is that Lata Sinha was the daughter of yester-year actress, Shobha Devi who had acted in supporting role in ‘Daawat’ (1943) and in lead role in ‘Jeena Sikho’ (1946) among others.
It may be observed from the filmography that Lata Sinha started her filmy career as a child artist, Baby Lata in ‘Barsaat Ki Ek Raat’ (1948), ‘Shikhar’ (1955), ‘Riyasat’ (1955) and ‘Nau Do Gyaarah’ (1957). Lata Sinha got her first adult and the lead role in ‘Ham Bhi Insaan Hain’ (1959). However, after this film, she was seen in only supporting roles such as ‘Chaudhvin Ka Chaand’ (1960), ‘Bees Saal Baad’ (1962), ‘Taj Mahal’ (1963), ‘Benazir’ (1964), ‘Bhoot Bangla’ (1965). ‘Main Wohi Hoon’ (1966), ‘Shikaar’ (1968), ‘Heer Raanjha’ (1970) ‘Raja Jaani’ (1972), ‘Insaaniyat’ (1974), ‘Apnaapan’ (1977) etc.
Coming back to the film under discussion, I have already given the film’s story in detail while discussing the song, le pee zaraa uar pee. However, just to refresh, I give below the gist of the story which is as under:
Shamu (Ashok Kumar) is a truck driver of Mahajan (Tiwari), a smuggler who indulges in business of smuggled good across the border with Sikkim. Although Shamu feels bad about serving Mahajan for his smuggling activities, he has to do this for taking care of Rami (Achala Sachdev), a Tibetan and her daughter as promised by him at the time of the death of her husband.
In a different village, Shanta (Nalini Jaywant) is being readied to depart for her marriage with Raimohan (Tarun Bose) against her wish. She runs away from the house. Shamu gives her shelter in his den in an adjoining room with a condition that she should find a different place to stay as his den is full of bad people. Shanta finds Shamu a kind-hearted person. Next day, Mahajan visits the den, Shanta introduces herself as the wife of Shamu for her own safety.
Pulma (Jayshree Gadkar), who runs a tea shop and is in love with Shamu, does not believe that Shanta is Shamu’s wife. By now Shamu has fallen in love with Shanta and has decided to propose her for the marriage. One day, Shamu sees a letter written by Raimohan to Shanta about their impending marriage. He assumes that Shanta is in love with Raimohan, and he has no right to ask for hand in marriage. Next morning, before Shanta could explain to Shamu about the notoriety of Raimohan, she finds that Shamu has left the place with Pulma.
Raimohan with the help of Mahajan conspire to kidnap Shanta to sell her across the border at a high price. Shanta now takes shelter in Rami’s house from where she is kidnapped by Raimohan and Mahajan. When Shamu comes to know about Shanta’s kidnapping, he takes out his truck with Pulma and follows the jeep in which Shanta is being taken. While driving on a jig jag hill road, the jeep roles down from road to valley killing Shanta, Raimohan and Mahajan. While consoling Shamu, Pulma reiterates her love for him.
In ‘Toofaan Mein Pyaar Kahaan’ (1966), Lata Sinha was almost like a second lead actress along with the debutant Sailej Prakash. Three out of eight songs were picturised on Lata Sinha, the same number as that for the lead actress, Nalini Jaywant. The songs were written by Prem Dhawan which were set to music by Chitragupt. Four songs have been covered on the Blog.
I present the 5th song, ‘goree itnaa bataa tera lagtaa hai kyaa’ rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and Usha Mangeshkar who sings for Nalini Jaywant and Lata Sinha respectively. Video clip has partial song while audio clip has the full song.
I am not able to give the exact context of the song as the film’s VCD is found to be heavily edited and the song suddenly appears on the screen. From the lyrics coupled with the preceding scenes in the film, my guess is that now it has been known to Shanta’s (Nalini Jaywant) friends that she is in love with Shamu (Ashok Kumar). So, while bathing in the river, her friend, Billu (Lata Sinha) teases her to let her know as to who is the person visiting her in her dream in the midnight. But after the end of the song, it is an anti-climax for Shanta as Shamu has already read the letter written by Raimohan (Tarun Bose) to Shanta about their impending marriage. So, instead of proposing marriage with Shanta, Shamu is in search of Raimohan to unite him with Shanta, without knowing his antecedent.
Enjoy this sweet song of the friendly banter between Lata Sinha and Nalini Jaywant on the screen.

TV serial Song number 5:
Our Blog has achieved a substantial milestone of completing 20000 posts with Sudhir ji’s post on a rare song, gham kaa banoge nishaana. When I had joined the bandwagon sometime in July 2011, the Blog had just completed 4000 songs in about 3 years. At that time, I had never imagined that the Blog would attain even a milestone of 10000 articles because it would have been a long haul during which the interest of the owner of the Blog (Atul ji) and the guest writers may wane because they may have to prioritise other important commitments. In the event, I have been proved wrong. Over the period of time, not only Atul ji has been keeping his interest in the Blog intact, but more guest writers have also joined the bandwagon making Atul ji’s posts appearing more as a ‘guest’ post while some of the guest writers have turned regular contributors on a voluntary basis. Furthermore, there is a phenomenal increase to the visitors of the Blog which is currently in the threshold of crossing 18 million in 18 years, that is, an average of one million a year.

I heard this song today after ages and when I checked the blog, it wasn’t posted as yet, although the rest of the four songs out of five, were posted. So with this post, all the songs are covered making the movie Yippeed.
Today’s song “Ek Jhonka Pawan Ka Aaya” is sung by Lata Mangeshkar, written by Anand Bakshi and composed by Kalyanji Anandji. It is from the movie “Tamanna” (1969).

Things do not get any more rare than this. Plus celebrations like today’s, also do not get any more better and rare.
Milestones is a habit now long forgotten on this blog. No, I do not mean to say we do not celebrate. But it has now become a matter of routine. However, a milestone such as today, came to fore after a journey of more than 17 years. And that too – we can just bask in this glory for a few hours more. Night will fall, the sun will rise, and this milestone will be left behind – forever.
In five decades of recorded data (1931-80), there is an estimated approximation – about 45 thousand songs, give or take. Beyond that, another 45 years of an industry that I and more in my category have not tracked sincerely. But taking just a crude estimate, let us say, another 40 thousand songs. We are talking of a huge repository that is about 85 thousand songs. I am sure, it is a number that cannot be matched by any other segment of the industry world wide. And if I take a look at the counter on the top of this article, a whopping 20+ percent of that repository is already showcased on Atul-Song-a-Day.
A moment it takes to absorb this. Time to ruminate, to contemplate and to let this number sink in inside.
