March 13th is the death anniversary of Nasir Hussain. He who gave us some memorable films like Anarakali, Munimji , Paying Guest, Caravan , Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon , Tumsa Nahin Dekha , Teesri Manzil, Dil Deke Dekhon, Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hain etc. And then in my growing up years there were movies like Yaadon Ki Baaraat, Hum Kisise Kum Nahin, Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hain, Manzil Manzil, Zabardast etc. Then he switched to being a producer for films that his son Mansoor Khan directed.

Morning times are the times when people generally listen to Bhajans and Pravachans and I am no different. Till a few years back my mornings used to begin with switching on the radio to Vividh Bharati or Radio Ceylon and music used to play through the day. Then the FM channels took over and there used to be a Channel Switching (or changing if I may say) exercise in between the various radio programmes and my own work activities. To add to the confusion, suddenly, TV went 24 hours along with giving us a bouquet of music channels to listen to. And then what happens to a music Buff like me? It was and is the biggest distraction for me especially during working hours.

“Kaho Naa…Pyar Hai” was a movie that released around 14 years ago on January 14th, 2000. It was a movie by, of and for a star son. By a star son means Rakesh Roshan (his father Roshan Lal Nagrath was a star among Bollywood music directors.) of and for a star son means Hrithik Roshan (a star son) who was launched by Rakesh Roshan through this movie. And the music for this movie was by another Roshan – Rajesh Roshan. So we can safely say that this was a triple Roshan treat. The movie also gave a new lease of life to Lucky Ali (son of Mehmood). The screenplay of this movie is credited to Honey Irani and Ravi kapoor who if I am not mistaken is from the other Kapoor khandaan that Arunkumarji spoke about some time last year. (Am I right sir?).

When my son was born in 1990 my dad was super worried. Well he was worried that I might end up naming my son Kapil Dev (my son shares Kapil Dev’s date of birth-6th Jan) as I am a huge fan of Kapil paaji (as he is said to be called in cricketing circles). He was even more worried when he came to know that Azharuddin could be what I might end up naming my son (as that was the date on which he was given the captain’s cap for the first time, and I am crazy about cricket. I am sure that there are very few who are not crazy about the game in India, right Atul?)

So the song which I have chosen today is from a very recent (going by the unwritten standards of our blog) bollywood movie though the movie itself had its story based in Pre independence India. It showed how the common folk reacted to the Hindu Muslim tensions back then. Even feelings as tender as love was given a kick when it came to religious sentiments. (At least that is what all the movies that are placed in that period depict. Sometimes I feel that thank god we were not born back then. But then I do not think we are living any differently even now in the 2000s, are we?) But lets not get into all that and focus on the song itself.

Today is 29th December 2013. The 71st birthday of an actor who went on to become a SUPERSTAR like none before him. He reigned in the hearts of the Bollywood movie buffs for a long time. He had 15 consecutive hits from 1969-71. Even after that for a few years his movies were immensely popular and ladies were so obsessed with him that there are stories as to how he used to get Fan-Mail written in blood. Yes we are speaking of Rajesh Khanna who else as I am sure everyone would have understood by now.

We have all played antakshari at least once in our life time. There will definitely be many who will say that it is more that once. So when does a group feel like playing it? Probably when on a bus to some picnic spot with friends or on a train or sometimes even at marriage functions. At least these were the times my group, whether it be a bunch of cousins or classmates, indulged in the game. Especially if it was raining and we can’t go out on the field during lunch hour during school days. Now my daughter says that they used to play the game daily on the way to school in their bus. I remember there was this cousins wedding in ’85 and the gamer that we started went on for around 5 hours with no team willing to give up. O it was a lot of fun. And then our elders had to physically dismantle the group to disperse the group.

There have been various songs on Shaadi and the various rituals connected to it. For example a very good bidaai song is “Chal ri sajni ab kya soche” from “Bambai Ka Babu”. Then there are songs of mehndi; in recent times a lot of Yash Chopra movies had them (do we need to enumerate them here). There are also songs where the sister is teased by a younger sibling (Sun Sun Sun Didi from Khoobsurat) or a jiji Jija song as in “Hum Aapke hain Kaun.” Then there is the iconic song in Chaudvin Ka chand “Mera Yaar bana hai dulha” by Mohd Rafi which has stood the test of time.
