Hullo Atuldom
Acclaimed actress of the 1950s, who was much-loved even after she hung-up her acting boots in 1970, turns a year older-enters her 93rd year on this earth on 13th August. She was loved as much for her acting as her proficiency in dancing- she is a trained, disciplined Bharat Natyam dancer. Recently, in February 2024, at age 90, she took part in Raag Sewa performance series at Ram Mandir, Ayodhya, with a Bharat Natyam dance recital, and its video soon became viral on social media. She is a lady (from the older generation) who’s work I simply adore. The spark in her eyes when she is dancing is something out-of-this-world.
She was born in Madras (present day Chennai) to Mandyam Dhati Raman and Vasundhara Devi – an actress of the 1940s (herself). She was primarily raised by her grandmother Yadugiri Devi. At age 7, she was chosen to perform a classical Indian dance for Pope Pius XII while her mother was an audience, in 1940, at Vatican City. She learned Bharatnatyam from V. Ramaiah Pillai and Carnatic music from D. K. Pattammal, K. V. Narayanaswamy, M. S. Subbulakshmi, K. P. Kittappa Pillai and other such learned teachers of those times, under the guidance of her grandmother.

“Kasme Vaade” (1978) was produced and directed by Ramesh Behl under his ROSE MOVIES banner. It was Ramesh Behl’s first as director. The songs were written by Gulshan Bawra & composed by R. D. Burman. Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Amit Kumar, Mohd Rafi, Anand Kumar C. & Pancham (R.D. Burman) were the playback singers for the 8 songs. Of the 8 songs two songs (‘aati rahengi bahaarein’ & ‘kasme vaade nibhaayenge hum’) were multi version songs.
The film had Rakhee, Neetu Singh, Amitabh Bachchan, Randhir Kapoor in the main lead with Rekha in a guest appearance and Amjad Khan in special appearance.
Master Bhagwan (Dada) was there for one song at the start of the film. That song was meant to show the happy-go-lucky character of Randhir Kapoor. Also we had Vijayendra Ghatge in a brief role as spoilt-brat-college student.

July 29th was the 22nd death anniversary (already that many years!!) of the actor Johnny Walker who was much adored as a comedian. The characters that he typically played were of “Drunkards” & he excelled at them, inspite of not touching a drop of alcohol throughout his life.
He was born Badruddin Jamaluddin Kazi in Indore, in present-day Madhya Pradesh. He was part of a family, that had 12 children, which moved to Bombay (of those times) when his father lost his job. He got a job as a bus-conductor in Bombay Electric Supply & Transport (BEST- Bombay’s bus service). He was spotted by actor Balraj Sahni entertaining his passengers with his comical way of calling out bus stops and his hilarious impressions and antics. Balraj Sahni introduced this fan of Noor Mohammed Charlie to Guru Dutt. Balraj Sahni told Kazi to demonstrate his drunkard act to Guru Dutt. From that meeting, he gained a role in ‘Baazi’ (1951).

It is 13 years since the passing of the first Superstar of Hindi cinema. I shall hold back the adjectives that are normally showered on this ICON who had a way to charm the audiences. His smile, emoting eyes etc. had the film viewing public, specially the female viewers swooning all over him, his images and even his CARS. A kind of mania no other actor has managed to replicate since then. He walked into their hearts riding an open top jeep, singing a song composed by S.D. Burman, in the voice of Kishore Kumar. Though that was not his first foray into films.
Let me first clarify that we are remembeing actor/producer Rajesh Khanna who veered towards politics (he contested the 1991/1992 Lok Sabha elections & won the ’92 Bye-election) briefly.
He was a winner of the 1965 All India Talent Contest, organised by United Producers and Filmfare magazine. Actors turned filmmakers Subhash Ghai & Dheeraj Kumar were also contestants in that year.

Followers of this blog may have noticed my inclination towards combining anniversaries of celebrities. That is, I try to find songs where two or more celebs, who’s birth or death anniversaries fall on the same dates or adjacent dates, are featured. I must admit that finding songs of some combinations are difficult as the concerned actors or actresses may have been in the same film but may have not even shared screen-time or screen-space, so finding a together song is a tall order.
I am in luck this time; for which I shall GOOGLE.

I have undertaken a rather difficult task- writing a post to remember the legendary Guru Dutt & trying to pay a tribute to him in my own humble capacity as I am someone who got acquainted with the actor, director, producer, choreographer, and writer much after his time on this earth.
He was born on 9th July 1925, in Bangalore, to Shivashanker Rao Padukone who was a headmaster and a banker & Vasanthi, a teacher and writer. At birth he was called Vasant Kumar & his family was, essentially, Konkani Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmins; but as his family shifted to Bhowanipore (Calcutta) when he was a child, he learnt & spoke fluent Bengali. (That possibly explains why I initially thought he was a Bengali). He had a sister Lalita Lajmi- (a painter) and 3 younger brothers, Atma Ram (a director known for ‘Umang’, ‘Aarop’ etc.), Devi (a producer known for ‘Masoom’, ‘Aakrosh’ etc.), and Vijay. Vasant Kumar’s name was changed to Gurudatta Padukone following a childhood accident, the belief being that it was an auspicious choice. Director & screenwriter Shyam Benegal is second cousin of Vasant Kumar a.k.a. as Guru Dutt & Amrita Rao (actress of the new generation) is the grand daughter of Guru Dutt’s cousin.

“Pukaar” is a title that appears five times on the blog’s ‘LIST OF SONGS MOVIEWISE’. The title has been used in movies released in 1939, 1983 & 2000; there have been two unreleased films with this title who’s years have been given as 1970 & 1971. Meer Sahab, R. D. Burman & A. R. Rahman were the music director for the 1939, 1983 & 2000 released ‘Pukaar’ (don’t know if there is a plural possible for the word ‘Pukaar’). Naushad & Ejaz Ashok were the music directors of the unreleased ‘Pukaar’. All the films with the title ‘Pukaar’ that are on the blog are only one or two songs old. (Here I would like to mention that I am speaking of the films posted & I don’t know if there are any other films with the title ‘Pukaar’ yet to appear on the blog).
