Film “Dil hai ke manta nahi”(1991) was another one of Mahesh Bhat movies, made like a “Chitrahaar”, with ten songs, including one double version song. From what I see in the trivia about this film, it is about adaptations galore. The story is adapted from American film “It happened one night”(1934), which is a tradition of sorts with hindi film right from early 50’s.
A few other Hindi films were also inspired by the same film – “Nadan” (1951), “Chori Chori” (1956), “Nau Do Gyarah” (1957), “Solva Saal”(1958) and “Basant” (1960). Similar plots were used in other Indian films as well – “Chaowa Pawa” (1959) in Bengali, “Chandhrodhayam”(1966) and “Kadhal Rojave” (2000) in Tamil, and “Hudugaata” (2007) in Kannada.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 7
The revival of the series on A. R. Rehman is beginning with this post. The last post in the series was this song.
I apologise for my tardiness in leaving the series like this for 2.5 years. None but myself to be blamed for not taking the targets/tasks seriously. Maybe that is the reason none of my series appear in the list of series posted in the blog.
Koyi nai, I plough on doggedly. Not that it is a hard task to find ARR gems, sometimes forgotten in decades old fog. Take the songs of “Saathiya” for instance.

Rest in Peace – Dharmendra (8/12/1937 – 24/11/2025)
During last week I have written posts of two Dharmendra -Hema Malini songs, and as I said, youtube was throwing up more such songs at me. I have saved many songs now featuring Dharmendra. Some of these are outdoor songs, showing refreshing locations, like riverside, mountains, trees etc.
Dharmendra has left this mortal world, where everything is mortal. We can hope that some memories will remain immortal till this “faani” intelligent humanity’s existence. So “Lafaani” is nothing. Dharmendra himself was among many things, an urdudaan, and wrote shayari in urdu. During his heydays as a star, he appeared shy of media. Only lately he has been giving some interviews and appearing on TV shows. That is when the real personality has come to light.

This is a role reversal to “Abhi na jaao chhod ke, ke dil abhi bhara Nahin”. Here Hema Malini is trying to stop Dharmendra from going to his job. She is calling him ‘Raja” and asking him not to leave her alone, take leave from work, or better to leave the job if he is not getting holiday. The filmy or flimsy situation, Lata Mangeshkar’s playback, Hema Malini looking resplendent in a red jacket/suit, begging. Dharmendra on his part is just trying to get away on whatever transport he can find and enjoying all the attention. All that bhav is good for the hero anyway. Songs like “haay haay yeh majboori”, “Na ja mere hamdam”, “bataa doon kya laana” and others convey the similar emotion in different ways.

Rafi Sahab’s Legendary Associations – 15
Back in 2021, I had started this ambitious series for posts to highlight the significant associations in Rafi Sahab’s career. I knew that very few and far between, songs of the major influencers on Rafi Sahab’s singing, were remaining to be posted in the blog, even in 2021.
Most of these stalwarts were old timers, like Naushad, S. D. Burman, Shankar-Jaikishan, Chitragupt, Ravi and C. Ramchandra etc. A few of them of them were more contemporary, like R. D. Burman and Laxmikant-Pyarelal, who were with him. They were the latest beneficiaries of Rafi magic, who were ‘faizyafta” till the end, in 1980. Both started in 1966-67 and continued. Even Kalyanji-Anandji was composing songs for Rafi sahab till the end of 70’s. Madan Mohan and Ravi did it throughout his career and till “Laila Majnu” in 1976, and was the only one who started in 50’s and ended and 70’s, apart from Naushad.

Subir Sen, the composer is himself an accomplished singer. This is a different style of composition. A very delicate fashion, of the tune returning to the mukhda in each stanza/antara. Very delicately done, almost like a breeze, and Rafi Sahab is the master, I think it was very easy for him. Having been singing for S. D. Burman for decades by 1972. One wonders if Subir Sen was testing Rafi Sahab if he could do this. One more thing I have noticed that each time the mukhda lines are repeated, the subtle changes in the lines repeating. There is a slight variation even at the end, when whole mukhda is repeated. Almost imperceptible. And again, the end of the song with final line.

The year 2025 is ending soon, and a quarter of the 21st century is over. This year has gone by very fast for me, with so much travel. Too much travel in fact that I have lost count. 6 weddings in close family and only one of them in greater Mumbai, which is a record.Mullah ki daud masjid tak, so we travel to Belgaum every time. Add to that visit to UK, plus a visit to Nanded. Another visit to Nanded is due before the end of the year. A 2 day trip to the good old Bangalore. See I forgot the Pune visit for yet another wedding in this melee. Throw in a combining of holiday/relaxation stops to Lonavla and Mahabaleshwar, here you have a full calender.

Remembering the Legend – Mohammad Rafi Sahab on his 45th Death Anniversary
Rafi Sahab’s birth centenary year just got over, and we are now commemorating the 45th death anniversary. Within a few years it will be 50 years since he left this mortal world. What a short life he lived here and the impact of his life, singing, conduct and his progeny which he left in the world, is multi-fold and multi-dimensional. One can’t thank the Almighty for the blessings upon us all.
