#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————
The biggest festival of our country ‘Diwaalee’ is here and people all over, irrespective of their caste, creed, religion and class, are celebrating this festival. However, life is not the same for all (just like ‘kabhee dhoop kabhee chhaaon’). The migrant labors working away from homes and families wait whole year for this festival to visit their homes. Relatives of such peoples await them to celebrate the festival together. I too have gone through similar situations in my working life (But those details are not the part of this post today.)
Life is hard and life is not the same for all. For some it is a happy diwaalee and for some it might be ‘sad diwaalee’ too. Still, we have to keep our morale high and not give up hope.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #

Today 19th October 2025 is the sixty-ninth birthday of actor Sunny Deol. He was born on 19th October 1957. He has been a director and producer of movies too and he was a Member of Parliament from 2019-2024.
On the occasion of birthday of Sunny Deol (real name Ajay Singh Deol), I am presenting a song from his debut film ‘Betaab-1983’. The song that I am presenting has been one of my favorite songs from those years and I like it very much. This song was my first choice for today’s presentation among many other songs that I had in my mind. The fact that it is a Pancham composition is another reason to bring it here today.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
This musical bandwagon i.e. our blog ‘atulsongaday…’ recently clocked the 19500th post and this was also a special post for another reason i.e. it marked the 3400th Rafi song on this blog.
That leads us to think about the Rafi songs that are yet to be presented here. We have a long way to go for that. The total number of Rafi songs for films are 4846 (as mentioned in the statistics page of the blog). So we have another 1446 Rafi songsleft to be covered in the blog provided they are all available for us to savour.

Today 16th October 2025 is the seventy eighth birthday of actress Hema Malini. She was born on this day in the year 1948. We wish her a very happy birthday and a healthy and peaceful life ahead. During my growing years in the seventies to early eighties I get to watch many Hindi Films where Hema Malini was the lead actress. She was ruling the roost and she was given the nickname of Dream Girl of Hindi Cinema.
Today on the occasion of her birthday I was looking for a song from this decade 1971-1980. I had a song in mind but then I kept it aside. After changing my mind I started looking for a song where R.D. Burman was the composer of the movie. That led me to this song from the movie ‘Alibaba Aur 40 Chor-1980. So I was able to find a song from the seventies as planned.

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Jaani Babu Qawwaal)
——————————————-——————————
(Qawwaalees – Part-2 – Post-14)
——————————
Today I am presenting a Qawwaalee song again. It is from an un-released movie of the 1970s which was later used in 1990 in another movie. This movie is titled as ‘Arab Ka Sona’ – for the seventies. Geet Kosh Vol-V mentions this movie under un-released movies of 1971-1980. However, there is no information about the cast of this movie. As per Geet Kosh (1971-1980) this movie was directed by C.K. Kadar for ‘C.K. Films’. Music composer for this movie is Jitin-Shyam. Eight songs are mentioned for this movie each with the name of the singers and lyricist. Geet Kosh has left a space indicating the possibility of more songs in this movie. For the eight songs the lyricists are Aish Kanwal(five songs), Shrikant (one song) and Shabnam Karwaari(two songs). Singers for this movie’s songs are Mohd Rafi, Krishna Bose, Nitin Mukesh, Jaani Babu Qawwaal, and Dilraj Kaur.

(Kishore Kumar’s 39th Remembrance Day 13th October 2025)
Yesterday 13th October 2025 was the 39th Remembrance Day of the legendary singer Kishore Kumar. He was born on 4th August 1929 at Khandwa (now in Madhya Pradesh) and he passed away at the age of fifty-eight only on 13th Octorber 1987 at Bombay (now Mumbai).
We are all aware Kishore Kumar started his singing career with the 1948 movie ‘Ziddi’ where he had given playback for actor Dev Anand. This was the song ‘marne ki duaayein kyun maangoon’. Kishore Kumar’s peak-time came during the end-of-sixties, and the decade of seventies was when Kishore Kumar’s voice was heard everywhere. He sang songs for many of the established actors as well as new-comers in the industry. And of course he was well-known as the voice of Dev Anand and voice of the Superstar-Rajesh Khanna.
