Hullo to all in Atuldom
Sunday was a learning experience. I visited the encyclopaedia of atuldom. I realised that the wealth of knowledge is not only because he has seen Indian movies but has also read about them. And I was amazed by the system he uses for writing a post. I took the liberty of asking for his collection of The HFGK. And I felt humbled that we in atuldom are celebrating 10900 and here is someone who has volumes on all the songs from the time Hindi films were born. But of course Hamrazji’s work of passion is different from what Atul has set out to do. So that brings us back to the main question. Is atulsongaday atulji’s passion or a vividh bharati for all of us where we send our farmaishes. I have lost count of the number of times I have raised this question. And Atulji, very sportingly just posts one more of our farmaishes :).

Songs have become an integral part of Hindi films since the advent of talkies in 1931. In the early 1930s, most of the Hindi film songs were influenced by the Hindustani classical ragas. This was understandable as most of the music directors of that period had exposure to Hindustani classical music. However, from the 1940s, songs based on semi-classical genres such as Thumri, Dadra, Khayal and folk music began to playe a predominant role in Hindi film music. The impact of Begum Akhtar on film music was evident as even ghazals were sung in thumri format in the films. At the same period, Kolkata based music directors were greatly influenced by Rabindra Sangeet while composing Hindi and Bengali film songs.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # 2 # Talat Mehmood-1
————————————————-
This is the second offering in this series. My primary focus in this series is to introduce those films from the decade 1971-1980 that are yet to make a debut on the blog.
But instead of going chronologically I willdiscuss these songs in sequence in which I noticed them in HFGK Vol-V. And of course, special songs are to be discussed first.
And today’s song is definitely a special one – a devotional song in the ‘velvet voice’ – now this one really came to me as surprise when I read the first song in the list under this film’s name in HFGK. The singer was none other than Talat Mehmood.

Mohammed Rafi : The incomparable – Song No. 03
————————————————-
Here is an example of a typical filmy song. It has the correct amount of teasing, mischief and romance with confidence. And nobody, no singer atleast did this with the right balance as Rafi Sahab.

I missed the Mumbai Gangout as there were some fortunate developments at my workplace which were leading for an uncertain future for me.
So, one would be surprised to read ‘fortunate developments’ and that too leading to ‘an uncertain future.
Fortunate was it because the decision was taken by me to take a break from my current assignment and start a new journey which I would begin after searching and settling for.

Mohammed Rafi – The Incomparable – 2
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
We all know that Mohammed Rafi Sb is the one playback who had many singers copying and imitating his singing style during his lifetime. After his passing away, the tendency only increased. There are a few shining examples like Sonu Nigam who started with Rafi Sb’s style and made a name for themselves. He is, in my view, closely followed by Udit Narayan and Mohammed Aziz. During the 1970s, when Rafi Sb was alive, there was Anwar who reportedly trained under him, and Rafi Sb himself regarded him highly. All these singers strived to imitate the inimitable Rafi magic.

Bombay Gangout – Part 4
After The Meet.
After the gangout session, as everyone dispersed and proceeded to their respective destinations, Srinivas (SignalTimer) and I headed to the local train station, that is just like across the road from the gangout meeting place. We took the train going south; we had a visit scheduled, to meet another common friend who is beset with the same passion of the Hindi film music from the Golden Era. The name is Kushal Gopalka. Some of the group members in Bombay may be familiar with this name, as he is active in this space, in a very different and interesting manner.

MINI SERIES–MAHASHIVRATRI CELEBRATIONS

Song No. 3
——————————————-
Today’s Shiv-Bhajan is from an obscure film SHUK RAMBHA-1953. In the period from 1951 to 1960,so many religious and Mythological films were made that at times there was a shortage of appealing stories. Ramayana and Mahabharat popular stories were exhausted beyond revival and it was not prudent to repeat them frequently. In this period, Nirupa Roy and Trilok Kapoor,probably were the busiest stars. Besides the usual popular and usual stories, producers made films on rare subjects like Shanidev, Nal-Damayanti, Kach Devyani, Ekadashi, Navnaths, Kaali, Laxmi, Vikram and Vetal etc.
