#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————–—-

Today I am presenting a rare and lesser heard duet sung by Rafi Saab and Asha Bhonsle. That adds one more to their tally on this blog. I do not remember to have listened to this song earlier, but it is nice hummable song to listen to.

This song is from the un-released/shelved movie titled as ‘Shehar Se Door’. Sources mention that the records for this movie were released in the year 1972, but the movie was never released.

‘Shehar Se Door’ or ‘Shahar Se Door’ was directed by Chaman Nille for ‘Maya Deep International, Bombay’. It had Subhash Ghai, Neena, Heena Kausar, Roopesh Kumar, Nadira, Johny Walker, Raj Mehra, Krishan Dhawan, Anita Guha, V. Gopal, Jankidas, Uma Dhawan, Uma Khosla, Jerry, Monto, Satya Devi, Madhu Kapoor, Tarun Bose and others. Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980) lists five songs for this movie written by Verma Malik. Music for this movie was composed by Sonik-Omi. Manna Dey, Mohd Rafi, Minoo Puroshottam, and Asha Bhonsle were the playback singers for this movie.

#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #

Today’s song is from the film ‘Maine Jeenaa Seekh Liyaa-1959’. I came across this movie title while browsing the ‘List-of-songs-moviewise’ on the blog during my regular browsing on the blog.

Music of this movie is composed by the genius music composer Roshan. Only two of its songs are posted on this blog. Out of curiosity, I looked at the remaining songs of this movie. I do not remember to have listened to the songs associated with this title. I was only aware of same movie title from the year 1982. I will take up the songs of this same name of eighties later.

‘Maine Jeenaa Seekh Liyaa-1959’ was a social movie which was directed by Satish Nigam for ‘Filmistan Limited, Bombay’. It was passed by the Censor Board on 10.12.1959. The cast of this movie had Ameeta, Ravindra Kapoor, Durga Khote, P. Kailash, Badri Prasad, Agha, Savita Chatterjee, Lata, Sushil Kumar, Murad, Noorjahan, Narbada Shankar, Tiger (Dog), Munshi Khanjar and others.

Today’s song is from yet another forgotten and obscure movie of its time i.e. ‘Yeh Khoon Rang Layega-1970’. This movie had made its debut on the blog on 12.10.2018 with its song ‘qayaamat hai teree nigaahon kaa jaadu’.

This first song from the movie was presented on the blog by our Respected Shree Sudhir jee. However, after this first song no song from this movie was posted thereafter, and that might be because of the rarity and non-availability of its songs. Now, couple of songs from this movie have been made available on internet by another good friend Shree D.S. Rathi jee. We music lovers thank him and are grateful for his generously in continuously making such rare songs available for public to listen to.

Today’s song is a nice composition from the movie ‘Daku Mangal Singh-1966’. Lyrics for this song were sent by Prakashchandra long back. Listeni8ng to songs like this (that I had not heard before), I am beginning to realise that apart from the songs that we grw up listening to (that we fondly remember), there many be thousands of songs that we could never listen to. Seing that most of these songs belonged to obscure movies, it is unlikely that music lovers will ever listen to these forgotten songs.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-12

Today’s duet composition by Rahul Dev Burman is from the 1996 movie ‘Ghatak’ or ‘Ghaatak’. This movie was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi who also produced this movie for his home productions ‘Santoshi Productions, Bombay’. It was passed by the Censor Board on 01.11.1996.

In the last post under this series we had a song from the 1993 movie ‘Aaja Meri Jaan’. No movies with R D Burman’s music were released during 1994 and 1995. Though the movie ‘1942 A Love Story’ is mentioned as a movie of 1994, it was actually certified by the Censor Board on 31.12.1993. So it is obvious that it was released in the theatres in 1994. (However as per non-documented but strictly adhered 🙂 to SOP of this blog, we now need to correct the year of ‘1942-A Love Story’ as 1993 on this blog 🙂 ).

The cast of ‘Ghatak-1996’ included Sunny Deo, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Danny Dengzongpa, Tinu Anand, K.K. Raina, Anjan Shrivastava, Amrish Puri, Om Puri, Mamta Kulkarni, Mukesh Rishi, Ila Arun, Viju Khote, Harish Patel, Brij Gopal and others. Music for this movie was composed by R.D Burman and Anu Malik. Since R.D Burman passed away during the making of the film, Anu Malik was roped in to record the remaining one song for this movie. This movie has five songs and total six sound tracks including a ‘theme music’ track composed by R.D Burman. Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the songs for this movie. Playback singers for this movie are Suresh Wadkar, Sadhna Sargam, Alka Yagnik, Shankar Mahadevan, Anu Malik, Kavita Krishnamurthy, and Asha Bhonsle.
