When I saw Naqli Nawab (1962) a few days ago, I got into the mood to watch Muslim socials. As it is, this is a genre I am fond of. If nothing else, the Urdu alone is good enough to keep me interested in the film. Everything else – a storyline, a qawwali or mushaira, lavish sets – is a bonus.
So I followed Naqli Nawab with Mehboob Khan’s Najma (1943) and B R Chopra’s Chandni Chowk (1954).

Hullo to all in atuldom
Recently I saw an ad in the newspapers which made me realise that there is something called the “World Music Day” and that it is held in about 120 countries. It is Fête de la Musique’ or Make Music Day or World Music Day.
Now whenever I come across such World or International things I have started reading about it from the (my) trusted source—Wikipedia. And I will say that most times it gives correct knowledge.

Just as we can’t let 9th June go by without a special song even June 20th should not be left alone without a special song. Why? Because it is our Karta- Dharta’s birthday!!!

Let me start with a confession.
In my childhood – and for many years thereafter – whenever there was a “mujra” song in a Hindi film, I wouldn’t pay much attention to it.
Unless of course, it was a well-known song. Like songs of Pakeezah. Then I would sit through and enjoy the song.

Today’s song is a duet of Lata and Chitalkar, from Khazana-1951.
Duniya Gol hai ! It looks like I go round and round and round and somehow end up discussing C.Ramchandra songs every now and then !! Believe me, it is not intentional, but a coincidence. When I see a good song not yet posted here, I get tempted to discuss it. If it is a C Ramchandra song, then I admit that the urge to post it becomes simply irresistible !!!. It is not just because it gives me an opportunity to write about C Ramchandra , but I honestly feel that there is still so much to be said about C Ramchandra that I shall never feel short of material about him.

This article is the 12100th song post in the blog.
Today, with this post, we arrive at the 12,100th post on this blog. That’s 121 centuries that this blog has clocked so far. The mind continues to boggle.
As a person who’s seen this blog from day one (from the time “mile na phool” was posted as the very first song on this blog), I feel elated everytime we reach a milestone. I still remember when Atul posted the 100th and then 200th and so on. Each one was an occasion for celebration. Because each one was a marker of progress on a journey that we knew would be a long (and highly enjoyable) one. We have done that 121 times now – and I think I speak for many of us when I say, ye dil maange more. :-).

Indian cricket and Bollywood both enjoy enormous popularity among Indians. With the fan following that some of the cricketing stars enjoy, a few producers have toyed with the idea of featuring them in main roles, side roles and also in guest roles in their movies. The underlying idea seems to be to encash their popularity for drawing more movie watchers to the movie halls. But past experiences show that most films featuring cricketers have flopped.

In the last few weeks, I’ve been watching some old Hindi films on Youtube. These are films which I’ve been wanting to watch for a long time, but somehow (mainly due to time constraints), I never managed to get around to watching.

We are at 12090 songs at the time of writing this. We have covered 3403 movies in the nearly eight years of this blog’s existence. 781 movies have all their songs covered. So when I was looking for a song featuring an old time music director/ singer on the occasion of his birthday today I was in for a surprise. Today (16 june 2016) is Hemant Kumar’s 96th birth anniversary.
