We know that S D Burman sang about 150 Bengali NFSs in the beginning of his career. Most of them became very popular. In Hindi, the number is about 25. We have 5 of them on the blog.

Today on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, here is a lesser known SDB song. I couldn’t get much detail. Looks like it must have been recorded in the year 1948, in the days following Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination. However some sources on internet mention the year as 1960 for this. Also this seems to be album containing more songs and titled as ‘Gun Dhaam Hamaare Gandhi jee’. I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this song and its details please.

Manoj Kumar (24.07.1937 – 04.04.2025) is synonymous with Bharat Kumar, yes! but he was much more. He was involved in multiple branches of film making – acting, production, direction, editing, writing (story, dialogues, lyrics). He has given many memorable films in various capacities. And very rightly he was honored with awards, and accolades time to time in his life journey. He was conferred with the highest award for films i.e. the ‘Dadasaheb Phalke Award’ in in ‘2015’. Earlier he had won the National Award for his movie Úpkaar’ in 1967, which was awarded as the second-best feature film of that year. He won the Filmfare awards in different categories viz as Best Actor for the film ‘Be-imaan-1972’, Best Director Award for the movies “Upkaar-1967″’and ‘Roti Kapadaa Aur Makaan-1974’, Producer award (with others) for “Upkaar-1967” and the award for Best Story and Dialogues for “Upkaar-1967”. He won the award for Best Editing for the movie ‘Shor’ and finally the Filmfare ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ for films in ‘1999’. No other film personality has won four awards for a single movie. What is more interesting is that he was also nominated for the ‘Best Actor’ award for the same movie i.e. “Upkaar-1967”.

Exactly one year back (on 6 February 2023) I debuted on this blog as a contributor. Then I had said to my ‘technical support’ Avinash ji, “I will be sending at least one post per month”. He had enthusiastically and encouragingly replied then, “Sir Ji, do it once a week. I am there with you.” It is one year or twelve months or fifty- six weeks now to that day and my contribution on the blog is total three posts only instead of ‘fifty-two’ posts :). These three posts includes the one recently posted on 22nd January this year on the pious occasion of Shree Ram Praan-pratishthha at Ayodhya (this was actually a hurriedly planned post and I had written it in around fifteen minutes or so).
I never stop wondering at the capacity of the regular (or frequent) contributors on the blog particulary like our Shri Arun ji, Sadanand Kamath ji, Peevesie’s Mom ji et al. Atul ji of course, goes without saying.

When I first heard this song as a ‘caller-tune’ I was transported to the era of Rajshri Films and the songs of Ravindra Jain-Jaspal Singh, from the seventies and early eighties. Often in my online consultations especially with the patients from North India, I get to listen to this song or this caller tune, and it piqued my interest. I thought it as a ‘non-film’ bhajan. But on searching for it I came to know that it was a song from a recent film which is ‘Adipurush’ (2023).

(The movie – ‘Saaraansh-1984’, and tribute to Singer Bhupinder Singh)

Some movies touch you deeply, pull at your heart strings and get embedded permanently in your very being. It could be due the theme, the direction, or in the majority of the instances, the performances.

A few that have had such an effect on me are BOOT POLISH, MOTHER INDIA, SAHAB BIBI AUR GHULAM, DOST, KASTURI NIVASA (Kannada), MAUSAM, MOONRAM PIRAI (original Tamil version of Sadmaa), MASOOM, NAYAGAN, RUDAALI, BLACK.

The movie that is making its debut on the blog today is one such movie.
