#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #

(Music Composer R.D. Burman’s 32nd Remembrance Day)
——————————————————————

Today 4th January 2026 is the 33rd Remembrance Anniversary of Rahul Dev Burman who is fondly known as ‘Pancham’. He was born on 27th June 1939 and he passed away on 4th January 1994 at the age of only 54.

Today on Pancham’s 33rd Remembrance Day we will be paying our tributes to him by listening to some of his compositions that were not yet presented till now.

While much of his musical treasure is already available for music lovers to savour, some more of this treasure is still being unearthed and is being shared online. I hope this process of digging up his as yet unknown compositions will continue in future as well.

From an estimated figure of 1755 songs from 331 Hindi movies composed by Pancham we have so far covered 944 songs from 254 Hindi movies on this blog.

I start day’s proceedings by presenting a song from the 1985 movie ‘AMEER AADMI GHAREEB AADMI’. It was directed by Amjad Khan for ‘Cinema International’s’. Shehla Khan and Vinay Sinha were the producers of this movie. Actor Amjad Khan who directed this movie had also credited as writer and editor of the movie as well. Dialogues for this movie were written by Akhtar-Ul-Iman. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 19.02.1985.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-6

Today’s duet song which is composed by Rahul Dev Burman, fondly known as Pancham, is from the movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’. I have not watched this movie but when I browsed the list of its songs and listened to a few of them, this duet song sounded familiar to me.

This movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ was directed by Moeen Amjad for ‘Chetna Movies’. Shantilal J Sopariwala was the producer of this movie. The presenter of this movie was ‘Chetna Zarda & Co’ and in the title of this movie (in the version available on internet this credit for the presenter comes up with a picture of the container of its product i.e. ‘Zarda’ and printed on it is ‘Chetna Zafrani Zarda 131 flavored chewing tobacco’. 🙂

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Anarbala-1961’. This movie seems to be an obscure movie of its time. However the songs of this movie that are available are great songs. This observation has often been made by our members that these so called B or C grade movies had some great music in them. These movies may have become obscure, but their music deserve better fate

‘Anarbala-1961’ is one such movie. The movie appears to be lost, but some of its songs have survived and have become available online.

“Bhalaa Aadmi-1958” was directed by Bhagwan for Unity Films, Bombay. It had Anita Guha, Chandrashekhar, Bhagwan, Kumkum, Kumar, Protima Devi, Baburao Pahalwan, Shyam Kumar, Leela Gandhi, Ulhas and others.

This obscure movie had ten songs where three lyricists contributed lyrics for this movie. This was also the first movie of Anand Bakshi as a lyrics-writer. Out of the ten songs Saba Afghani wrote three songs, Anand Bakshi wrote five songs and Ehsan Rizvi the third lyrics writer wrote two songs for this movie ‘Bhalaa Aadmi-1968’. The playback singers for this movie included Suman Kalyanpur, Bhooshan, and Sudha Malhotra. But as per information available in Geet Kosh Vol-III (1951-1960) singers’ name for only four songs are mentioned and the singers’ names for six songs are not mentioned, so there is a possibility of more singers singing for this movie. Music for this movie was composed by Nisar.
