Two signature melodies, one sweet voice,

Do Naina, Aur Ek Kahaani

Do Panchhi, Do Tinke, Kaho Le Ke Chale Hain Kahaan

And the voice – Aarti Mukherjee.

Celebrating Aarti ji’s birthday today – she turns 76 today. Greetings and best wishes to her for good health, and many more such celebrations to follow.

Aarti ji was born in Calcutta, in 1943. Along with her formal school education, her grooming in classical music also continued side by side, at the feet of teachers like Shri Chinmoy Lahiri, Shri Susheel Bannerjee and Ustad Mohammed Sageeruddin. It was a childhood dream for her to be a famous singer, and be counted in the same list as Lata Mangeshkar.

In her teen years – she was just 12 or 13, in 1955 she appeared in the ‘All India Music Talent Contest’ in Calcutta. Then couple of years down the road, in 1957, she participated in the Metro-Murphy Talent Search Contest held in Bombay. The panel of judges were the esteemed cream of music directors from Hindi cinema – Anil Biswas, Naushad, Vasant Desai and C Ramchandra. She was judged to be the winner in the female singer category. This recognition opened doors for her as a playback singer in the world of cinema. She was just fourteen years old.

Vasant Desai gave her the debut break when he invited her to sing for the 1958 film ‘Do Phool’. It is a chirpy lilting children’s song that she rendered so effectively – “Matak Matak Naachoon Re”. Oportunities started to come her way. She sang a duet with Lata ji, for the film ‘Sahaara’, also 1950 – “Atkan Matkan Dahi Chatokan”. Then on to ‘Schoolmaster’ in 1959, and ‘Angulimaal’, ‘Apna Ghar’ in 1960. The song “Dheere Dheera Dhal Re Chanda” is one of her earliest popular melodies.

In 1962, she got her first break in Bangla films, with the film ‘Kanya’. Her versatility and her sweet voice helped her to make a place for herself in the Bangla cinema, coming quickly to the level of popularity of Sandhya Mukherjee, who was the lead playback singer in that era. She has given playback to almost all the stalwart leading ladies of Bangla cinema of that time – Aparna Sen, Sharmila Tagore, Madhabi Mukherji, Debashri Roy, and Tanuja etc.  Her popularity was at its peak in 1970s.

Meanwhile, she continued to sing in Hindi films, such sweet renditions like – “Mat Jaiyo Piya Pardes Sajaniya Paiyaan Pade Re” (‘Vidyapati’, 1964), “Saara Mora Kajra Chhudaaya Tu Ne” (‘Do Dil’, 1965), “Kirnon Ki Dori Chaand Ka Palna” (‘Maya Sundari’, 1967), “Jaago Anjaani Rajdulaari” (‘Ek Surat Do Dil’. 1968), and more.

In 1975 came the popular and successful ‘Geet Gaata Chal’ – in which Ravindra Jain gave us such beautiful melodies – “Shyam Teri Bansi. . .”, “Kar Gaya Kaanha Milan Ka Waada” and “Main Wahi, Darpan Wahi”.

Aarti ji has won the Filmfare award for the best female playback singer in 1983 for the song of ‘Maasoom’ – “Do Naina. . .”. She has also won the Bengal Film Journalists Award for best playback singer in 1967, for film ‘Golpo Hoelo Satyi’ and 1976, for ‘Chhutir Phande’. For her vocal performance in ‘Geet Gaata Chal’ (1975), she was honored with the Mian Tansen Award.

Today, I present a very interesting and a very pleasing melody from the 1959 film ‘Schoolmaster’. The film is a Hindi remake of the 1958 hit Kannada film, of the same name. The film is produced and directed by BR Panthulu, under the banner of Padmini Pictures. The star cast for this film is listed as BR Panthalu, Radha Kishan, Ulhas, MV Rajamma, Shakeela, B Saroja Devi, Kamini Kadam, Lalita Pawar, Achla Sachdev, Karan Diwan, David, Jawahar Kaul, Raja Gosavi, Puranik, Vishwa Mehra, Shivaji Ganeshan, Baby Laxmi, Kusumlata, Kumuda, Shashikala, Venkatesh, Gopi Nath, Ganesh, Vijay, Pramod, and Ramesh. The story of the film is a typical family drama of a joint family – a retired schoolmaster with three sons, and he ends up losing his house and even a respectful accommodation with his children. This theme has been replayed in many films, earlier and later.

Geet Kosh lists 9 songs for this film. All the song have been written by Kavi Pradeep. The music is by Vasant Desai. Vasant Desai has used as many 10 playback singers in this film – Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey, Geeta Dutt, Talat Mehmood, Mahendra Kapoor, Pradeep, Lalita, Indu and Sarla. And then there is this one solo song in the voice of Aarti Mukherjee.

A lovely melody, and a very lovely rendition. Listen and enjoy.

Song – Ek Do Teen, Gin Bhai Gin  (School Master) (1959) Singer – Aarti Mukherji, Lyrics – Kavi Pradeep, MD – Vasant Desai

Lyrics

ek do teen
gin bhai gin
ye duniya badi kathin
is duniya mein hotey hai
hansne ke bhi din
roney ke bhi din
ek do teen
gin bhai gin
ye duniya badi kathin
is duniya mein hotey hai
hansne ke bhi din
roney ke bhi din

sab ko yahaan milti hai khushi
sab ko yahaan milta hai gham
sab ko yahaan milti hai khushi
sab ko yahaan milta hai gham
faraq magar hai itna sa
kisi ko zyaada kisi ko kam
faraq magar hai itna sa
kisi ko zyaada kisi ko kam
isi tarah ye jeevan chalta
shaam subah pal chhin
shaam subah pal chhin
ek do teen
gin bhai gin
ye duniya badi kathin
is duniya mein hotey hai
hansne ke bhi din
roney ke bhi din
ek do teen
gin bhai gin
ye duniya badi kathin
is duniya mein hotey hai
hansne ke bhi din
roney ke bhi din

kismet sabko jag mein naach nachaaye
kadve meethe sabko ghoont pilaaye
ulta waqt yahaan jab aaye haaye
apne bhi hotey hain paraaye haaye
dekhne waale dekh laga ke
aankhon mein durbin
aankhon mein durbin
ek do teen
gin bhai gin
ye duniya badi kathin
is duniya mein hotey hai
hansne ke bhi din
roney ke bhi din

ek do teen
gin bhai gin
ye duniya badi kathin
is duniya mein hotey hai
hansne ke bhi din
roney ke bhi din

एक दो तीन
गिन भई गिन
ये दुनिया बड़ी कठिन
इस दुनिया में होते हैं
हंसने के भी दिन
रोने के भी दिन
एक दो तीन
गिन भई गिन
ये दुनिया बड़ी कठिन
इस दुनिया में होते हैं
हंसने के भी दिन
रोने के भी दिन

सबको यहाँ मिलती है खुशी
सबको यहाँ मिलता है ग़म
सबको यहाँ मिलती है खुशी
सबको यहाँ मिलता है ग़म
फरक मगर है इतना सा
किसी को ज़्यादा किसी को कम
फरक मगर है इतना सा
किसी को ज़्यादा किसी को कम
इसी तरह ये जीवन चलता
शाम सुबह पल छिन्न
शाम सुबह पल छिन्न
एक दो तीन
गिन भई गिन
ये दुनिया बड़ी कठिन
इस दुनिया में होते हैं
हंसने के भी दिन
रोने के भी दिन
एक दो तीन
गिन भई गिन
ये दुनिया बड़ी कठिन
इस दुनिया में होते हैं
हंसने के भी दिन
रोने के भी दिन

किस्मत सबको जग में नाच नचाए
कडवे मीठे सबको घूंट पिलाये
उल्टा वक़्त यहाँ जब आए हाए
अपने भी होते हैं पराये हाए
देखने वाले देख लगा कर
आँखों में दुरबिन
आँखों में दुरबिन
एक दो तीन
गिन भई गिन
ये दुनिया बड़ी कठिन
इस दुनिया में होते हैं
हंसने के भी दिन
रोने के भी दिन

एक दो तीन
गिन भई गिन
ये दुनिया बड़ी कठिन
इस दुनिया में होते हैं
हंसने के भी दिन
रोने के भी दिन

Rajesh Khanna – The Phenomenon – 1

1983.

A young boy of fifteen, who has just successfully passed out his SSC-Board exams, is keen on taking up higher studies further. He is uncertain of the future, as the subjects he like and the subjects his family & friend circle want him to study are extremely opposite. Finally he lands with an admission in 11th with PMC stream and additional vocational subjects.

Amitabh – The Later Decades – 5
—————————————————–

The carrying capacity of this man is amazing. There is an aura about him that continues to draw the audiences. The measure of his success and popularity is pretty much sustained, as his fans continue to return to the cinema/video time after time after time. I believe that the secret behind this sustenance has been his capacity to re-invent himself, and his portrayals.

I must frankly admit that I have kept away from the mainstream cinema, mostly after the seventies faded away, and a new order both in terms of performers, as well as music, came on to the scene.  The time also coincided with the years amounting to almost two and a half decades that I was traveling, and away from India most of the time.  The viewing of current films was random and patchy at the best, and that I never went out of my way to acquire and watch a current film.  Unless it was recommended to me, and that too, by someone whose judgement I would trust.

Its been about a month since I last sent any write-up to Atul. (I remember the last thing I did was send the lyrics of a song to Atul and Sudhirji for Sanjeev Kumar death anniversary). Not that I was short of ideas. It is just that various factors contributed to keeping me away from the blog. I have more than a month’s posts to catch up with. First it was diwali. Then my dearest niece’s engagement which took me to Chennai for a weekend. (Actually I had thought I will be able to call up our YYIIPPEEEE!!!! master when I was in his land but that also didn’t materialize. Sorry YYIIPPEEEE!!!! Master)

Since today morning there has been a flurry of activity, as the post for Burman Dada birth anniversary took me by surprise. Our anniversary list posts this event on the 10th of this month, and so I was a little surprised to see the song “Dil Mera Udaa Jaaye”, from the 1976 film ‘Arjun Pandit’ posted today morning announcing the dual anniversary of Burman Da and Majrooh Sb together.

What a find!! Bless this YouTube, and all the scattered music lovers all over the globe. Somewhere, someone is holding on to some fabulous music and then voila, it appears on the net. A song I have been searching for a long time. I am sure it happens with others also; it starts with the thought – there is something one is missing. At times it will pass through the mind, and then get folded under some other thoughts. When I log in online, there are so many other things to look for, that are the significant need for the current series of posts, that this one (and many other such things) do not readily jump to the front line. And then one day, I am searching for something else, when I bump into this one thing, completely out of the blue, and the only expression I can manage at the moment is “O My God”.

Many of the songs I have posted on this blog so far have been songs of the 1970s. I will not be so presumptuous as to claim that these songs are any better than songs of another decade. Every decade has produced its memorable songs and many would consider the golden period of Hindi film music to have started already in the 1940s/50s.

When it comes to dancing ladies of Bollywood movies, Helen is known to us all, but there were others as well. Bela Bose was one of her contemporaries and much of her dancing was in 1960s.

“Aakhri Khat” (1966) has the distinction of being Rajesh Khanna’s debut movie. It was truly a different kind of a movie, not the usual mainstream Bollywood movie.

Kishore Kumar has sung songs for many actors. His songs in fact were a major reason for the success of many leading actors- for example Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan etc.
