Hullo Atuldom

“Pukaar” is a title that appears five times on the blog’s ‘LIST OF SONGS MOVIEWISE’. The title has been used in movies released in 1939, 1983 & 2000; there have been two unreleased films with this title who’s years have been given as 1970 & 1971. Meer Sahab, R. D. Burman & A. R. Rahman were the music director for the 1939, 1983 & 2000 released ‘Pukaar’ (don’t know if there is a plural possible for the word ‘Pukaar’). Naushad & Ejaz Ashok were the music directors of the unreleased ‘Pukaar’. All the films with the title ‘Pukaar’ that are on the blog are only one or two songs old. (Here I would like to mention that I am speaking of the films posted & I don’t know if there are any other films with the title ‘Pukaar’ yet to appear on the blog).

Hullo Atuldom

Taking out 1924 from 2025 gives us 101. Is the figure correct? Does that mean today would have been the 101st birthday of Madan Mohan- the composer who gave us such gems as “Rasm-e-ulfat ko nibhaein to nibhaein kaise“, “Kar chale hum fida“, “Kaun Aaya Mere Man Ke Dwaare” and lots more. Our blog’s stats page gives the number of songs as 630 of which the blog has 577.

Madan Mohan’s music was characterised by his immense ability to blend elements of Indian classical music into a new style of Hindi filmi song. He had a keen and sensitive ear for the nuances of Indian classical tunes, and combined them with elements of Western music such as harmonies to produce a style of music that could be appreciated by both classical music aficionados and the common person alike.

Today’s song is from the film Piya Milan-1958.

The 50’s decade was full of a deluge of films from the south. After S.S.Vasan proved that it was possible to capture the All India Hindi Audience market for South-made films, there was a mad rush and almost all major and minor film companies from south tried to get at least a small piece of the “Hindi Audience Cake” for their films. Films came in the shapes of Bilinguals, remakes and dubbed ones. Bilinguals – when a film is made in 2 languages at a time, one language being Hindi, remakes were new Hindi films made on old Hit films of South Indian languages. Dubbed films were films made in the southern language, with a sound track of Hindi language.
