Hullo to all in Atuldom

Some films don’t attract audiences, they just flop. No filmmaker makes a film to loose his investments. They begin with a firm story in mind but incorrect promotion and/or word of mouth spread by the few who see it works against the fortunes of the film.

“My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves” that released on 11th January 2008 is one such film. The first thing that was touted about the film was the protagonist played by Nikhil Dwivedi was a Shahrukh Khan look-alike. Second, the title of the film itself was not something that would give an idea to moviegoers about the content of the film. All this was in the year 2007/2008.

Krishnaswamy Bhagyaraj (7 January 1953 – 27 June 2026) was an Indian filmmaker, actor, musician. He worked predominantly in Tamil cinema, while also directing and acting in films in other Indian languages. He wrote and directed more than 25 films and acted in over 75 films, and was regarded as one of the most influential writer-directors in Tamil cinema during the 1980s. He edited the Tamil weekly magazine “Bhagya” and authored several novels.

Bhagyaraj began working in the Tamil film industry in the mid-1970s as an assistant director under Bharathiraja (who also passed away earlier this month) in films like ’16 Vayathinile’ (1977) , ‘Sigappu Rojakkal’ (1978); which were remade in Hindi as ‘Solva Sawan’ (1979) & ‘Red Rose’ (1980); and a few more. He began writing scripts and dialogues for films, while also appearing in smaller acting roles.

At the outset I would like to wish our in-house Encyclopaedia Shri. Arunkumar Deshmukhji a very Happy Birthday. May he always enlighten us with his knowledge on well-known, known & not-so-well-known artists who have walked the firmament of the Indian film industry. May he always find artists about whom he has not-yet shared any information. May he always be available to us when we pop questions or doubts about anything and everything. All this in the time he finds between his writing for the blog and books. I would also like to wish him lots of time with his family and followers and admirers.

Asrar ul Hassan Khan (1 October 1919 − 24 May 2000), better known as Majrooh Sultanpuri, was an Indian Urdu poet and lyricist in the Hindi language film industry. He wrote lyrics for numerous Hindi films. He was one of the dominant musical forces in Indian cinema in the 1950s and early 1960s. He is considered one of the finest/ avant-garde Urdu poets of 20th century literature.

In his career spanning six decades (the first time he wrote for a film was in 1945/46 for KL Saigal starrer ‘Shahjehan’), he worked with many music directors – with some father/son pairs of music directors- Chitragupt & his sons Anand Milind; SD Burman & RD Burman; Roshan & Rajesh Roshan to name a few.

Normally, when I set to write a post, I look up songs listed under “List Of Songs Moviewise” to see if the 1st song from the 1st film, or the last song from the last film of the artist is already present on the blog. Then I look out for songs from films that I have heard umpteen times or know the background of. Very often, I also try to combine the works of two or three artists, who’s birthdays or anniversaries are on the same date or a date or two near each other.

Got to know that today is International Family Day. ‘Family’ is something that one doesn’t choose, a person is usually born into a family. The starting point of any family are the husband and wife who get to choose each other (atleast in modern times, not in the times of my parents or even till the turn of the century). In my opinion, the anniversary of our parents should be what we celebrate as ‘Family day’ or ‘Foundation Day’ (as I like to call it 😀) But that is my thought I don’t expect people to agree with me.

Google tells that “International Day of Families” is observed globally on May 15. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993, the day aims to promote awareness about the social, economic, and demographic issues that affect families worldwide. The key theme for 2026 include ‘Families, Inequalities, and Child Wellbeing’ and ‘Family- Oriented Policies for Sustainable Development’ emphasizing resilience and support.

There is a category of songs on the blog “INTRODUCTION SONGS” i.e. songs where the character tells the audience who he is or is sort of, giving a ‘visiting card’. The following are my favourites in the category.

27th April 2009 was the date when Zulfiqar Ali Shah Khan – better known as Feroz Khan- bid adieu to this mortal world. He was only 69 or 73 at that time (there is no clear year of birth available anywhere on the internet).

He was born in Bangalore (which was part of the Kingdom of Mysore at that time) in 1935 (according to some accounts) or 1939 (as mentioned at other places on the internet) to parents who were from Persia & Afghanistan. He was educated in schools of Bangalore but never went to college (by his own admission). But, looking at the way he conducted himself on-screen- the walk, a drawl in the dialogue delivery etc. would make the audiences feel that he was someone who was educated in some overseas university. He brought the wild west to Bollywood with his leather boots, hats and cigars, and he did it with swag.

With this post we wish Indian playback singer, and occasional music-composer, Sishtla Sreeramamurthy Janaki, (better known as S. Janaki) on her birthday on 23rd April. She turns 88 today.
She is one of the best-known playback singers in South India who has recorded nearly 48,000 songs in all the South Indian languages and Hindi, Sanskrit, Odia, Tulu, Urdu, Punjabi, Badaga, Bengali, Konkani etc. put together (I suppose) That is why I have called her INDIAN playback singer. She is also said to have sung in English, Japanese, German, and Sinhala. She is one of the most versatile singers in India. The language in which she sang the most songs in her career was Kannada, followed by Malayalam. She is widely acclaimed as the “Queen of Expression and Modulation”.
