This article is the 10300th song post in the blog.
I can imagine in my mind’s eye. Atul ji getting interviewed on some online forum. The interviewer asks about what he does. Atul ji tells him that he is managing this Atul Song A Day blog. The interviewer asks Atul ji to describe this blog, what prompted him to set this up and tell about its specialties. Atul ji starts telling about the blog, its origins and its features. Near the end of the interview, the interviewer asks so tell what is new on the blog today. Atul ji raises one hand to cover a yawn, then remarks – “nothing much, the usual stuff, we just clocked another 100 songs today.” 😀 😀

Prem naam hai mera. . .
Prem Chopra. . .
Thus happens the surprise introduction of this villain cum character artist, in the film ‘Bobby’ (1973). I call it a surprise because his name does not appear in the credits at the start of the film. ‘Bobby’ was one of the films that I got to see on the big screen, with family. Prem Chopra would be a familiar artist in the nascent mind of the school going ‘yours truly’, thanks to films like ‘Shaheed’ and ‘Upkar’. And so, when abruptly and unexpectedly on to the shining tinsel screen, appears this familiar face and the familiar voice, chewing on a blade of grass, and making his presence felt in a very lewd and unexpected manner, I remember I was aghast – “arre, is ka to naam bhi nahin hai, ye kaise aa gaya?”. For a split second, the thought did cross my mind – “cinema waalon ne koi galat reel laga di hai”. But immediately as the film continued, that thought would be discarded. “Achhaa, aisa bhi hota hai. B’gair naam ke bhi actor film mein aa jaate hain”.

(1978 – Duet)
And with this duet, another film from 1978 makes a debut on the blog. The film is ‘Damaad’ directed by Raja Rakshit. This song I would not categorize as obscure. It was heard relatively more often on the radio, and continues to be alive in memory. And what a gem of a song this one also is.

(1978 – Solo)
This solo song that got picked for 1978 is a real surprise. Wonderful gem from an obscure film. A song that was heard occasionally, before fading away from radio waves and settling into the quicksand of memories. As I was browsing the list for 1978, this song strummed lost memories of absolutely lovely songs and I had to pick it as tops.

(1977 – Duet)
Come 1977 and Shatrughan Sinha had been around in films for about 8 years now. He already had two Filmfare awards for best supporting actor under his belt – in 1971 for ‘Paaras’ and 1975 for ‘Dost’. On screen, majority of his roles have a style – freewheeling, assertive and emphatic, whether being the smug good guy or the abrasive bad guy. In the seventies, Shatrughan Sinha was one of the busier actors in the industry, averaging 8 to 9 films a year.

(1977 – Solo)
When I picked this song for this series, my first reaction was – wow, not yet posted on the blog? I remember from the radio listening days, that this song was very popular in its time. And it still carries a very vibrant appeal that will take the listener to a high. Rafi Sb has sung this song with such zest and abandon, his voice sounding so bright and breezy. Without the visual, the song conjures up images of a playful teasing situation, as the lady seems to be upset and is walking off, being pursued by a persistent lover, who expresses casual disregard for her but also promises that she will be turning back in no time. A promise that is fulfilled, not later than the end of the song.

(1976 – Duet)
If nothing else, producer director Rajkumar Kohli has made a place in memory and in records, for producing films that have a huge galaxy of stars working together. I cannot easily recall any other producer director having pulled of this feat. In this film, ‘Naagin’, the star cast is a veritable milky way with the presence of Sunil Dutt, Feroz Khan, Sanjay, Jeetendra, Kabir Bedi, Vinod Mehra, Anil Dhawan, Premnath, Ranjeet, and Roopesh Kumar , working opposite to Rekha, Reena Roy, Yogita Bali, Mumtaz, Prema Narayan, Aruna Irani, Heena Kausar, Neelam Mehra, Aarti, Anita Guha and Komilla Wirk. And the second line of casting is still to come – Jagdeep, Gulshan Arora, Tun Tun, Sulochana, Maruti, Satish Arora, Rajan Sethi etc.

(1976 – Solo)
As I am checking the list of songs from 1976, I find this gem of a ‘naat’ (Islamic religious song) rendered by Rafi Sb. The film is ‘Sangraam’, directed by Harmesh Malhotra. The words are written by Gauhar Kanpuri and the music is by Bhappi Lahiri. ‘Sangraam’ is a film that is not in memory otherwise. The films that I remember from that year are ‘Chitchor’, ‘Hera Pheri’ and ‘Chalte Chalte’. And yes, ‘Fakiraa’ and ‘Dus Numbri’. I remember I had seen ‘Chitchor’ and ‘Hera Pheri’ on the big screen.

Wow, vintage Rafi, if ever it were.
As I was browsing for the song from 1975, I bumped into this very old friend, whom I had not met for a long time. But oh, what a lovely remembrance this one. A wonderful gem of a song, that is lost in obscurity, even though the film is comparatively not very old.
