Today’s song is a duet from the film Aage Kadam-1943.

The greatest problem with the old films is that many times information on some films is not available at all. Even the film booklet is not available. All that is known about them is what is given in the HFGK. Some of the actors and actresses are not familiar and to get their information is almost impossible. While writing about their songs, this becomes a challenge. We have to then discuss whatever is available at hand.

Hello everyone!

It has been SUCH a long time since my last post here that I’ve forgotten how to even write posts.

So this one will most probably be a short one, unlike my past marathon posts.
I say “most probably” because I might intend a short post, but once I start writing, my thoughts end up having a life of their own. I would be an editor’s worst nightmare. 😊

Anyway, let’s see how it goes.

Ok, so the main reason for this post is a sort of coincidence that I’m taking as a sign to make me write.

Hullo Atuldom

There is a saying “That Birds Of A Feather Flock” together.

This space in cyberworld that goes by the name “ATULSONGADAY.ME” is where some birds or lovers of music of the genre called “Film Sangeet” congregate. The main aim initially, was to appreciate the efforts of one man called Atul who got the idea of compiling songs which he thought were important to him & were from his ‘List of Favourites’.

He began the journey on 19th July 2008 with this post. It was a short post but gave absolutely accurate lyrics of a song written by Kaifi Azmi & composed by Roshan. There were 13 posts in that July, that is the blog lived up to its name of “SONGADAY”.

Hullo Atuldom

It is 13 years since the passing of the first Superstar of Hindi cinema. I shall hold back the adjectives that are normally showered on this ICON who had a way to charm the audiences. His smile, emoting eyes etc. had the film viewing public, specially the female viewers swooning all over him, his images and even his CARS. A kind of mania no other actor has managed to replicate since then. He walked into their hearts riding an open top jeep, singing a song composed by S.D. Burman, in the voice of Kishore Kumar. Though that was not his first foray into films.

Let me first clarify that we are remembeing actor/producer Rajesh Khanna who veered towards politics (he contested the 1991/1992 Lok Sabha elections & won the ’92 Bye-election) briefly.
He was a winner of the 1965 All India Talent Contest, organised by United Producers and Filmfare magazine. Actors turned filmmakers Subhash Ghai & Dheeraj Kumar were also contestants in that year.

Today’s song is from a dubbed film Ek Tha Raja-1951.

I consider myself a mixture of south and marathi culture. From childhood, I grew up in an atmosphere which was truly cosmopolitan – in Hyderabad state. Exposure to south customs and following a Marathi lifestyle. My paternal grandparents stayed with us. My father, uncles and aunts addressed my grandmother as ‘Amma’, a typical way of calling mother in southern style. However, I called my mother as “Aai”, like a Marathi kid !

To be a multilingual person is good. Knowing more languages-not just knowing, but speaking many languages has its own advantages. I had the built in advantage of having been born in a Multilingual state of Hyderabad. Starting with Urdu, I soon learnt Marathi(Mother tongue), Hyderabadi and Pure Hindi, Telugu and Kannada. Because of my father, I learnt Sanskrit, but could not master it, though I am well conversant in it. After coming to Bombay,I learnt Gujarati so well that I can read Gujarati papers, books and E Mails etc.
