His name was Lalji Pandey but his college friends gave him a pseudo name, ‘Anjaan’ while participating in mushaira in the college functions as well as elsewhere. He retained this pseudo name when he started writing articles, poems and later lyrics.

‘Baat Ban Jaaye’ (1986) was produced by Anil Hanspal and Nitin Manmohan which was directed by Bharat Rungachary. The cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Zeenat Aman, Utpal Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty, Raj Babbar, Amol Palekar, Aruna Irani, Jalal Agha, Shakti Kapoor, Adi Irani, Imtiaz Khan, Jagdeep, Prema Narayan, Viju Khote etc. The film belongs to the family comedy genre. It was the first film for Nitin Manmohan (son of actor, Manmohan) as a producer and second film as a director for Bharat Rungachary. Sanjeev Kumar passed away before the release of the film. However, he had completed all his work for the film.

The credit title of the film did not mention the names of the actors. Probably director felt that that since each actor in the film had his share of comedy, to present the film as a collective efforts of the entire cast in creating a family comedy film rather than showcasing the individual actors by mentioning their names. Incidentally, Sanjeev Kumar, Amol Palekar, Raj Babbar and Mithun Chakraborty were in the role of the prospective bridegrooms for the wealthy businesswoman, Zeenat Aman in the film.

This date 50 years ago (15 March 1975- 15 March 2025)

Today is 15 March 2025. It means that the date 50 years ago was 15 March 1975.

If one asked me what I was doing on 15 march 1975, I would have drawn a blank. But if someone informed me what major event took place on 15 march 1975 then I would be able to tell what I was doing that day.

I came to know through some online articles that 15 march 1975 was the date when India won the final of World cup Hockey and became world cup champion for the first (and till now only) time.

Today’s song is from the comedy film ” Mr. Cartoon, M.A.-” 1958.

What a coincidence ! Last Sunday, I had selected a song from this film to be discussed today (usually I line up 3-4 songs for writing posts). However, the same song was discussed by our Sadanand Kamath ji, on Monday, 3rd March. Instead of going for another film song, I selected the only remaining song from this film for today’s post. Being the last song of the film, it will make the film YIPPEED today !

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
———————————————————————
(Rajesh Khanna’s 82nd Birth Anniversary)
—————————————————-

Today 29th December 2024 is the eighty-second birth anniversary of Rajesh Khanna (29.12.2024-18.07.2012). On this occasion, we have paid our tributes to him by presenting a few songs picturised on him. In this post I am presenting one more song picturised on him.

This song is from the movie ‘Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar’. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 21.01.1984. In the year ‘1984’there were three movies released based on the same theme that dealt with our socio-political scenario and prevalent corruption and corrupt practices among governing institutions in the country. These were the movies Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar’, ‘Inquilaab’ and ‘Yeh Desh’. However, if one notices, while the movie ‘Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar’ was categorized as a movie from ‘social genre’ the other two movies viz. ‘Inquilaab’ and ‘Yeh Desh’ were categorized as ‘patriotic’ or ‘deshbhaktee pradhaan’ movies. Among these three movies, only ‘Inquilaab’ was said to be a successful movie. The movie ‘Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar’ was praised by critics but it was said to be a commercial failure.
