“Pyaar Hi Pyaar” – release date 17th October 1969- was directed by Bhappie Sonie and produced by Rajaram & Satish Wagle. It had music by Shankar-Jaikishan & Hasrat Jaipuri wrote most of the songs. Rajinder Krishan is credited with one song. The movie had a cast of Vyjayanthimala, Dharmendra, Manmohan, Mehmood, Helen, Dhumal, Madan Puri, D.K. Sapru, Sulochana -Latkar & Chatterjee, Raj Mehra AND PRAN. Plus there were some character artists who are familiar faces to all Hindi movie fans- like the rotund Moolchand, Robert (the Goan dancer who was a prominent face in dance numbers till 1989), even Shatrughan Sinha and Salim Khan (who later formed a duo with Javed Akhtar) were there in small roles.

Films with “Ek” in their title that are present on the blog:- 66 and in that list I found some titles have been repeated too like “Ek Gaon Ki Kahaani”; “Ek Hi Rasta” (3 times); amazing.

“Ek Se Badkar Ek” (1976) is one of the 66 on the blog. It was a movie produced & directed by Brij. It had Kalyanji-Anandji as music directors of songs written by Verma Malik. Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Mohd Rafi., Lata Mangeshkar and Runa Laila (from Bangladesh) were the playback singers used. The multi-starrer had Ashok Kumar, Raj Kumar, Sharmila Tagore, Navin Nischol, Anwar Hussain, Padma Khanna, Helen, David, Deven Verma, Purnima, Shetty etc in the cast.
Today I found a trivia about how Deven Verma was present in many movies made by Brij- Brij was the director of Deven Verma’s first production “Yakeen” and that association continued in films like “Chori Mera Kaam”, “Bombay 405 Miles” etc.

Two Indian actors were born in 1938 one in Calcutta and another in Surat. Both had their first movies around 1960/61. But their first film together happened sometime in 1977/78. “Mukti” (1977) was perhaps the first time they acted together. I am speaking of Shashi Kapoor (18th March 1938) & Sanjeev Kumar (9th July 1938), post which they were seen in 9/10 movies, the last of which released in 1989. I discovered this movie just before I began writing this post. The print that is available online is not very good but it gives a fair idea of the film.

History of Indian cinema is incomplete without mentioning the influence of Parsi theatre, specially in the initial years of the film industry. When we throw a question to Google about “influence of Parsi theatre on Indian Film Industry” this reply pops up:- “Stylistic elements like declamatory theatrical performances, the progression of narrative through song & dance sequences, melodrama, disguise & plot reversals”. I am sure there are knowledgeable followers of Atuldom who will be able to throw more light on this subject. If I recall, our in-house encyclopaedia Shri Arunkumar Deshmukh, has written about this in a few of his posts.

“Sohni Mahiwal” (1984) was a Indo-Russian historical romance drama film based on the story of ‘Sohni Mahiwal’ – one of the four popular tragic love stories of Punjab & Sindh region; the other three being Sassi Punnun, Mirza Sahiban, & Heer Ranjha; I am sure there may be more such stories in folklore.

‘Indian Idol’ a program that is aired on a satellite television channel has episodes that have contestants sing songs that are topical or paying tribute to legends of yesteryears. So we have had episodes dedicated to Kalyanji-Anandji, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Tanuja, Sharmila Tagore etc. I was super disappointed to have missed a few episodes- ones that celebrated Kishore Kumar, 75 years of Rajshri Productions etc. Thanks to Apps of the various channels we are able to see these episodes at will and the one episode I regretted missing is the one that was telecast on 5th November. It was a supremely surprising episode that featured Meenakshi Seshadri.

Indian films have seen many jodis (meaning duos) of writers, music directors, actors, actresses, hero-heroine etc. Something about these duos or pairs or jodis make them appealing in the minds of movie-watchers. Can we think of Dilip Kumar sans Madhubala, Raj Kapoor sans Nargis, Dharmendra sans Hema Malini, Amitabh Bachchan sans Shashi Kapoor or Vinod Khanna or Rishi Kapoor or many of the actresses that he was regularly paired with? Similarly we think of Salim Khan & Javed Akhtar in the same breath as also Husnlal-Bhagatram, Kalyanji- Anandji and Shankar- Jaikishan. What I have mentioned are pairs in Hindi films, I am sure there would have been & will be such pairs in films of other languages too and all of which were popular once upon a time & are still recalled fondly. When we speak of these pairs we cannot think of one without the other.

This is a multi-birthday post.

First and foremost we shall be wishing our Sudhirji- The Dillwala Dilliwala; Atulji’s trusted lieutenant on his birthday. He has been a huge help to Atulji and that has ensured that the blog has had no dot days since 25th December 2019. Let us all wish this Atulite with lots of fun and music.

Hullo Atuldom

“Vidhaata” (1982) made its debut on the blog on this date ten years ago (1 november 2012) with the song (Ho saathhiya) whose lyrics were contributed by Prakashchandraji. That was also a post to wish the leading lady of that film on her birthday.
That makes ‘Vidhaata” a part of the BTYC 2012-2022 today on 1 november 2022.

Ten years back on this date viz on 1 november 2012, six songs from six movies were covered on the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
6928 Haan qaidi Bhaabhi(1938) 2 songs out of 11 covered by now
6929 Ro ro nain ganwaaun sajanwa aan milo Baaghbaan(1938) 3 songs covered out of 9 by now
6930 Kehta thha zamaana magar hamne na maana Aag Ka Dariya (1953) Movie YIPPEED by now
6931 Hazaaron rang badlega zamaana Shirin Farhad (1956) Movie YIPPEED by now
6932 Wo ek haseen ladki jo bas laajawaab thhi Aakraman(1975) Movie YIPPEED by now
6933 Ho saathiyaa Vidhaata(1982) 2 songs out of 8 by now

The above table shows that three movies have been yyiippeeeed so far and I have no idea about the availability of the songs of the movie released in 1938. Hence I am going for a song from “Vidhaata” to go with this post.
