This Non-Film Raaga Maala is by Ustad Ahmed Hussain and Ustad Mohammed Hussain. The composition is unique and very complex. The two brothers have incorporated 9 different ragas in each Antara (total 18 ragas in two antaras). Each time they mention a raga, they sing that verse in that particular raga. It is very admirable that the duo has written the lyrics themselves.

Asha-ji had released an album of her songs as a tribute to MD Jaidev, where she gave number of songs that ware recorded but never utilized or published. She also requested Amol Palekar to let her include some of the numbers from his unfinished films. I have no information and am in total dark about Amolkar Palekar’s unfinished film ‘Footpath’, from which today’s song is posted. I request some knowledgeable members like Arun-ji to shed some light to it. (Tamaso ma Jyotir gamaya)

The twelfth gem in the series of ‘Genius of Jaidev’ is from a 1978 film ‘Tumhare Liye, based on the tale of lost love, sacrifice and reincarnation. Produced by Raj Tilak and directed by Basu Chaterjee, it had lyrics by Naqsh Layalpuri and music by Jaidev.

Two songs from the film are already covered and discussed on this Blog.

Genius of Jaidev
===========
In 1973 a producer named Ramesh Khosla was making a film, but the production was shelved due to his death. Jaidev had recorded few songs of Lata and Mukesh for that film. After a long long time, Robin Khosla, son of Ramesh, wrote a story line on Kashmir issue for a film called ‘Chand Grahan’, and accommodated those unreleased songs in the film. We do not know whether the film on that sensitive subject was ever made, passed censors and even released, but in 1997 the audio of this movie songs were finally released. It was 24 years after the demise of Mukesh and 10 years after the death of Jaidev, that these melodious songs saw the light of the day. Two of the Mukesh songs are already covered on this Blog. The presentation today, is one of the two Lata songs, from that film. Arun ji may shed some light on the star cast and some trivia about the film.

Raag Maalikaa in Hindi Films – 10
======================

Dil Ki Raahein (1973) was produced by Majjeda Movies and directed by B R Ishara. The star cast included Rakesh Pandey, Rehana Sultan, Sulochana, Johny Whisky, Dilip Dutt, Amrit Pal etc. Naqsh Llayalpuri provided the lyrics and the music was by Madan Mohan. The music of this film did not impress the masses and it was one of the least popular music amongst Madan Mohan’s films. However, one Lata’s song ‘Rasm-e-Ulfat Ko Nibhaayen’ became a collector’s item amongst Madan Mohan’s fans.

1977 ‘Alaap’, a classic film, produced and directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee with star cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Chhaaya Devi, Asrani, Om Parkesh, Farida Jalal etc had superb music by Jaidev and beautiful lyrics of Dr. Harivanshrai Bachchan and Dr. Rahi Masum Raza. There were eleven songs, and two out of them were in two parts. Since those two songs, viz ‘Mata Saraswati’ and ‘Aayee ritu saawan ki’ were combined and presented for the Blog, all, except the present song, are already covered. I may get first time credit to put ‘Alaap’ in the list of ‘Movies-All songs covered’.
