#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

The song in this post is going to give a big surprise to everyone. I am sure about that. Even I was surprised when I listened to it for this post. Though I have presented a song from this movie in the past but I was not aware about this song. After listening to this song it sounds familiar but I have no idea why.

This song is from an un-released movie ‘Bahaadur Jiskaa Naam’ from the decade of 1970s. As per information given in Hindi Film Geet Kosh Vol-IV (1971-1980) this movie was directed by K.A. Narayan for ‘Rangamma Films’. The cast of this movie is mentioned as Ashok Kumar, Pran, Prem Nath, I.S. Johar and Vidya Sinha. Geet Kosh lists four songs from this movie leaving space for other songs that would have been recorded for this movie but which are not known or may be these were not released on records.

#1300th Post# Chal Saathhee chal… chal saathhee chal …

In my previous post here, I have described how I discovered this great musical blog and how I become associated with it first as a visitor and subsequently as a lyrics contributor. I had developed some inclination (flair?) for writing from my younger days. My first article was published in a Marathi newspaper ‘Dainik Shivshakti’ published from Akola (Maharashtra). My article was about cricket where I had expressed my views about the dropping of Chetan Chauhan from the Indian cricket Team of 1980-1981.

After starting as a lyrics contributor I became a frequent visitor on the blog. I had discovered a vast treasure trove of Hindi Music here. Moreover I was also reading the detailed posts of senior contributors on this blog that enriching my knowledge of Hindi Film Music of the golden years of Hindi Cinema.

I discovered this blog in the year 2009 while searching for songs penned by Sahir Ludhianvi. My first comment on this blog was on the song ‘kashtee kaa khaamosh safar hai’ on 15 September 2009 more than two months after this song was posted on the blog on 12 July 2009. I had sent this comment after some hesitation because I was new to blogs and for that matter to internet itself and I was not sure whether my comment will get published. Fortunately, it all went well. 🙂 My comment got published :-

I love the music and specifically Hindi music/songs from old Hindi films and try to collect them in my collection i.e. cassettes or cds . Now a days I am collecting the lyrics for old songs and which contains true poetry and are true gems in our Hindi films history.

The great work being carried by you deserves much accolades and NOT a mere thank you, since the work being carried by you is priceless and very very precious for peoples like me.

After this initial comment, I kept visiting this blog regularly for those songs that I remembered from my younger days and which were missing from my collections of cassettes. My understanding of this blog then was that some of the songs that I was looking for were available here while others were not available.

#Debutant Movie – ‘Dwaarikaadheesh-1956’#

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Dwaarikaadheesh-1956’. This movie is making its debut on this blog today.

With over twenty thousand songs already on the blog, and over six thousand of them being from the decade of 1951-1960, I was shocked to note that this movie was still missing from the blog. I was even more surprised when I listened to a few songs from this movie. I must say that this movie has some great melodious compositions in it. It is likely that the songs from this movie were not available online in the past. Personally I had not heard any songs of this movie anywhere to the best of my knowledge. Nevertheless, almost four thousand songs from the decade of 1951-1960 are still missing from the blog. Some of them are available and some more songs may become available with time. As we cover these missing songs, we will come across movies that have not yet made their debuts in the blog.

I checked and double checked and finally came to the conclusion that this movie “Dwarkadheesh” is making its debut today in the blog.
