A Very Happy Holi celebration to all.
Well yes, coming at almost the end of the celebration day. But the greetings and good wishes are being delivered with a one year warranty, valid for a full year, till we come to the next instalment of this celebration.
Maybe many folks did not notice it, but this year’s occurrence of this festival of colours is likely the most rare and unique play out of the celebrations ever. At least I do not remember having encountered this version of the celebration ever in my life. And I would like to hear from the readers, if anyone else has. Like a few other things that happen once in life, this celebration of Holi is once in a lifetime experience.
So let me tell you what is rare and unique about this year’s Holi. In normal circumstances, the Holi is an eight days affair, which is called the holashtak in regular parlance. On the seventh day of this period, we celebrate the Holika Dahan, with the lighting of a bonfire at sunset time. And then on the 8th day, the folks will have a play of colours and water, lot of dancing and music, lot of funny songs – and the folks will do a lot of acts and pranks which one will never think of doing on any of the rest of the 364 days of the year. And the saying that goes along with all that is – Bura Naa Maano Holi Hai – please don’t mind, today is Holi.
A real prank that I remember in my family. Many years ago, when my elder sister had got married, and the first Holi celebration came around for the new couple, my mother invited them and the family members who could join, to come for tea and snacks to our home, during the Holi celebration hours. They came, we had arranged simple snacks and tea. And my mother, without even telling me or my dad, prepared some barfi at home. It was not barfi, it was kneaded maida flour, cut into barfi size pieces, with some elaichi daana stuck on it, giving a very real appearance of plain white barfi. And served it at the end. After the tea, everyone picked up a piece, with the expected outcome of expressions and reactions – which were only controlled by us repeating the adage – Bura Naa Maano Holi Hai.
Ah but I digress. We want to know about the rare peculiarity of this years Holi celebration. Well, for the first time in my memory, a Lunar eclipse has intervened, and that too on the very day of the full moon, which is the final day of the Holi – the one celebrated with water and colours. So in keeping with the ancient wisdom of this land, the astrology and the panchaang and the pundits in temples disallowed the playing of water and colour Holi on the day it was supposed to be. And said that the water and colour Holi be celebrated on the day next to the full moon day. To the children and regular followers of this festival, did that make any difference? Not at all. It just meant that everybody got one extra day of celebrating the Holi. So actually this year’s Holi was celebrated today, on the officially first day of the next lunar fortnight cycle.
Ah but then, you will ask, what is the big deal. Well the big deal is not really a big deal – it is a mid sized deal. 😀
Under regular circumstances, discounting the Holashtak effect, there are two days Holi is played – one is called chhoti Holi and the other is called badi Holi. That we are all familiar with.
And this year – well, a new concept got introduced – that of majhli Holi – the day of Holi in between. I was taken by surprise yesterday when memes started flowing in the morning congratulating me on the first-time-in-life celebration of majhli Holi. 😀
Today’s song is from the very first decade of Hindi films – a song from film ‘Aurat’ from 1940. ‘Aurat’ is a magnum opus by producer director Mehboob, a much celebrated film of its era, that was remade by Mehboob himself, as a significantly more celebrated and iconic film in 1957 –‘Mother India’. The latter creation also carries within its list of songs one of the most celebrated Holi songs of all times – “Holi Aayee Re Kanhaai Rang Barse Sunaa De Zaraa Baansuri”.
The song for today is created by Dr. Safdar Aah Sitapuri, and it is tied into the scintillating threads of music by Anil Biswas. One of the cases where the video of the film is available. The song is a chorus only song. Although the Geet Kosh lists Anil Biswas as one singer, the song itself does not exhibit any solo singing portion.
Once again, greetings to all on today’s celebration of this colourful festival, delivered with a warranty of one year, till we get to the Holi festival in 2027. Enjoy.

Mohd Rafi – A Journey Divine – 1
(1944-46)
किसी ने कभी पानी से पूछा — पानी रे पानी तेरा रंग कैसा
तो जवाब जो पानी ने दिया — जिसमें मिला दो लगे उस जैसा
Someone once asked water, “Water, water, what color is yours?” The answer water gave was, “My color will resemble whatever I am mixed with.” This isn’t a quality, a skill, an art, or anything significant. It’s the very nature of water, a gift from God, bestowed upon water. When God created water in the universe, He granted it an inexhaustible treasure: despite being colorless, it possesses the unique ability to manifest every other color. Perhaps with a similar thought in mind, God brought to this earth an individual whose voice was so gifted with the ability to become the voice of any and every personality, every character. He shaped that individual’s personality with such natural simplicity that it could provide a voice for everyone behind the scenes, yet its own existence remained completely inconspicuous. This individual’s voice might be in the background, but listeners might not even be aware of its presence. Over time, this voice would linger behind hundreds of characters. Only those who knew would know what it was.
A miracle was happening. A few fortunate people of an era know this creature of God as Mohammed Rafi. The writer put these words to paper for this very voice – “Water, water, what color are you?” “My color resembles whatever I am mixed with.” It sounds like that. We do not deny the talent of any other singer. Everyone has their own unique qualities. But yes, it can certainly be said that if the playback is of Kishore, Hemant, Mukesh, or Talat, the image of that singer immediately emerges in the listener’s mind. But if the playback is of Rafi Saab, the listener’s attention is not drawn to that. The audience naturally finds this voice indistinguishable from the voice of the actor on screen. And the mind does not even think that this voice belongs to anyone else. This extraordinary aptitude is present in Rafi Saab’s voice. I am talking about the present, because Rafi Saab’s voice is with us and will always be, as long as there are listeners of film music. Rafi Saab never imitated or mimicked the character’s voice. He naturally adapted his voice to the character’s personality. In his three and a half decades of singing, Rafi Saab never refused to provide playback for any actor, no matter how new or unfamiliar they were. Yes, he would interview every new actor he had to record for, for a minute or two, and then simply sing for them. The analogy of water is absolutely apt and apt for Rafi Saab. Humble, modest, graceful, unpretentious—these are all very apt adjectives for him. He had no ego at all. And perhaps that’s what led to his dexterity. Rafi Saab’s humility was a unique phenomenon in the film industry. And because of this, the respect and status he received is unparalleled.
There is an incident, I won’t mention the name of the person involved. When this person had just arrived in Bombay, Rafi Saab offered him a place to stay on the terrace of his house. Shortly after, the person and his wife started some baseless disputes, leveling accusations against Rafi Saab and his family, and even filed a police report against him. When others in the industry learned of this incident, no one believed the complainant. Instead, the person himself was boycotted to such an extent that he left Bombay shortly after.
As a child, young Rafi received Kundan Lal Saigal’s blessings on the stage of a musical extravaganza in Lahore. The year was 1937, and he was just 13 years old. Then, in 1941, he joined the Lahore All India Radio station. That same year, composer Shyam Sunder had him record a song, which was included in the Punjabi film ‘Gul Baloch’, released in 1944. Both the film and the song are no longer available. Later, in an interview, Rafi Saab described this song and also sang the opening lines.
In 1944, Rafi Saab moved to Bombay with his elder brother. He recorded three songs for the film ‘Pehle Aap’, released that year. The music director was Naushad Saab. Building on this beginning, he gradually received invitations from other composers and film producers. In 1945, his voice was used by Firoz Nizami, Pandit Govind Ram, Hari Prasanna Das, Shyam Sunder, Mir Saab, and AR Qureshi for 11 songs in seven films. Rafi Saab sang his first solo song in the film ‘Sharbati Aankhen’, released that year. Rafi Saab had a strong desire to sing with Saigal Saab. Naushad Saab gave him this opportunity in the 1946 film ‘Shahjahan’ in which he sang two lines at the end of Saigal Saab’s song “Roohi Roohi Roohi Mere Sapno Ki Rani” He himself appeared on screen in this song. In addition, Rafi saab appeared in two more films during the same period. One was 1945’s ‘Laila Majnu’ and the other was 1947’s ‘Jugnu’.
In the 1930s and 1940s, most artists recorded their own songs. The playback system was introduced in films in 1935. This made it possible for actors to perform songs in the voices of other singers. And under this new system, a new category of playback singers emerged. Actor-singers such as Surendra, Ashok Kumar, Bibbo, Devika Rani, Khursheed, Kanan Devi, Leela Chitnis, Suraiya, and Motilal emerged. And as playback singers, Zohra Bai, Rajkumari, Amir Bai, Shamshad Begum, GM Durrani, Khan Mastana, Firoz Dastur, SD Batish, and others became famous.
By 1945, a crop of singers with wonderful voices emerged, who sustained long careers in the industry. These include all the important names of the Golden Era of Hindi films – Lata, Geeta Dutt, Asha Bhosle, Manna Dey, Hemant Kumar, Talat Mehmood, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh, and many more. And in this list, among the male voices, the name at the top of the list is Mohammed Rafi.
When we analyze and collate the data for singers using Geet Kosh and other sources, a striking result emerges. Based on recorded songs, Rafi Saab’s name is at the forefront in every year and every decade from 1944 to 1970. And not only ahead, Rafi Saab leads other male singers by a wide margin. The number of songs sung by Rafi Saab is as follows:
1944-50 – 376
1951-55 – 535
1956-60 – 999
1961-65 – 935
1966-70 – 789
1971-75 – 499
1976-80 – 538
1981+ – 187
The trend of leading has been consistent from 1944 to 1970. Only Kishore Kumar surpassed Rafi Saab in the 1970s. Between 1971 and 1980, Kishore Kumar’s songs appear on the list, with 1,150 songs sung by him. Rafi Saab’s songs appear on the list, with 900 songs sung by him. I would like to clarify one thing. This calculation is not exact. But a key pattern emerges.
In this thirty-five-year journey, there is hardly a music director who has not recorded songs in Rafi Saab’s voice. In all these years, Rafi Saab never argued over how much he would be paid or which actor would be filmed on his songs. There are countless instances where the producer or composer did not have the budget to have Rafi Saab record, and yet Rafi Saab recorded for them, either without charge or for a token one rupee.
Amazing, yes, but true. Nothing in the world can take place of water.
Welcome to this series on Rafi Sb in which I am attempting to follow his musical journey from 1944 to 1980, with one post for every year of this saga. With today’s post, I cover the period from 1944 to 1946. A limitation for me, since all the known and available songs of 1944 and 1945 are already posted on the blog and I start this series with this wonderful duet from the 1946 film ‘Maansarovar’.
In 1944 – As mentioned earlier, Rafi Sb’s first recording of a film song is with music director Shyam Sunder. The song “Soniye Ni, Heeriye Ni” was recorded in 1941, and eventually used in the Punjabi film of 1944 – ‘Gul Baloch’. Also, in 1944, in Hindi films, he recorded three songs for the film ‘Pehle Aap’, with music director Naushad Sb. Two of these songs are male duets with Shaam Kumar, and the third is a group song that includes Rafi Sb’s voice.
In 1945 – As per the data that is available thus far, Rafi Sb recorded 11 songs for 7 films. Of these eleven songs, 5 are solo songs and the remaining are duets or group songs. He recorded his first solo song for the film ‘Sharbati Aankhen’.
Begum – with MD HP Das; 1 song, duet with Mohantara Talpade
Hamaara Sansaar – with MD Pt Gobindram; 2 songs, one solo and one duet with Zohrabai Ambalewali
Kul Kalank – with MD AR Qureshi; 1 song, duet with Amirbai Karnataki
Laila Majnu – with MD Pt Gobindram; 2 songs, one duet with Khan Mastana, and one with SD Batish
Sharbati Aankhen – with MD Feroze Nizami; 3 songs, which are all solo
Village Girl (Gaon Ki Gori) – with MD Shyam Sunder; 1 song, duet with GM Durrani
Zeenat – with MD Hafeez Khan; 1 song, solo

Today’s song is a duet from the film ‘Maansarovar’. The lyrics are by Ishwar Chandra Kapoor and the music is by SN Tripathi. The accompanying voice is that of Mohantara Talpade. An interesting exchange between a young belle and a rangrez – to whom she has come to get her dupatta dyed. The rangrez is promising fantastic results, but is asking for munh maangi charge. Whereas the young lady is promising one anna, or two anna, but not more. Interesting conversation between the two. Listen and enjoy.

Saga Of Sleepless Nights – 10
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
raat bhar muaa sone naa de. . .
This snippet line is from a song that has not made it on the blog as yet. The film is ‘Vidhaata’ from 1982. This snippet line is from the naughty song “Saat Saheliaan Khadi Khadi, Fariyaad Sunaayen Ghadi Ghadi” (YT link). The song is kind of an item song that is performed on screen by a bearded and plump Shammi Kapoor lip syncing the voice of Kishore Kumar, with a harmonium in front of him, as he leads a local get together into a sort of celebration song. I am sure most readers will be familiar with this song. The lyrics are kind of raunchy, penned by Anand Bakshi. The song tells of the plight of seven friends whose husbands are in different professions. Each ‘saheli‘ tells of her woes as to how her husband does not let her sleep all night.
Rewind back 33 years earlier, to 1949. Another song that tells a similar story – the lady has the same complain, that her companion did not let her sleep all night. That the entire night was spent tossing and turning, and the night passed in this uljhan only.

Tu Chhupi Hai Kahaan
Main Tadapta Yahaan. . .
The anguished voice of Diwakar, the poet, that begins as a whisper from a famished throat, rises up to the heavens, as the poet is so painfully trying to search for his creativity – his muse, his love of life, a fantasy woman whom he has woven into his writings.
Mohini, whom he meets often at many a turn of the passages of life, is the romance that is rooted in his imagination, the power of creativity that propels his pen to create music and songs which are not understood, not accepted by his family and dear ones.

Phir Aane Laga Yaad Wahi Pyaar Ka Aalam
This, and many other iconic compositions flow through the mind when the name Iqbal Qureshi is mentioned. One of that group of hugely talented music directors who never could break into the so called ‘Legendary Club’, no matter so many of his creations have become legends in as of themselves. Starting with his first film ‘Panchaayat’ from 1958 – the iconic duets “Taa Thaiya Karte Aana, O Jaadugar Morey Sainyyan” (Lata and Geeta) and “Haal Ye Kar Diya Zaalim Tere Tadpaane Ne” (Rafi and Lata), and browsing through musical gems of such films as ‘Bindya’ and ‘Love In Simla’ (both 1960), ‘Umar Qaid’ (1961), ‘Ye Dil Kisko Doon’ (1963), the legendary ‘Cha Cha Cha’ and the lilting ‘Qawwaali Ki Raat’ of 1964, ‘Sarhadi Lutera’ of 1966, on to strumming the songs of the unreleased ‘Pyaar Bana Afsaana’, all the way up to ‘Lakhpati’ of 1991. An era that is dotted with lilting creations of Iqbal Qureshi.
Remembering Iqbal Qureshi on his birth anniversary on 12th May. At 6 feet 4 inches, he was arguably the tallest member of the industry in his time.

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 31
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Reuse phenomena is quite a prevalent feature in Hindi cinema. We are already at the 31st episode of this series, and I must say we have just scratched the surface. There are reuse songs, there are partial reuse songs, there are medleys of songs, and even in some cases, there is a wholesale reuse in the entire film. A great example is the 2002 film ‘Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar’. Bharat Shah, the producer of this film is an out and out die hard fan of Pancham Da, and this film showcases a dozen earlier hit songs of RD Burman.

Ah yes, another iconic song from the Golden Era is being reused. It no longer surprises me to continue discovering such reuse songs from the films of recent vantage. Here is this wonderful creation of Majrooh Sultanpuri and OP Nayyar Sb which is now used once again in the film ‘Bombay Velvet’ of 2015.
