Today’s song is a song sung by Kishore kumar in his inimitable style, from the film Dilli Ka Thug-1958.
1958 was the year when so many musical films came. One could see the excellence of lyricists and the art of the Music Directors making those songs popular. In those days the active lyricists were Shakeel Badayuni, Sahir Ludhianvi, Shailendra, Majrooh, Hasrat Jaipuri, Bharat Vyas, Rajendra krishna, Prem Dhawan, Kaifi Azmi, Pradeep to name a few.
Composer kalyan ji debuted as an independent MD, for the film ‘Samrat Chandragupt’, in which a song written by Nirupa Roy was used. Iqbal Qureshi entered films with ” Panchayat”. Anand Bakshi debuted with ‘Bhala Aadmi’ and continued for another 45 years, becoming one who wrote maximum number of songs for Hindi films.
This was also the year in which, due to a misunderstanding, the long standing bond between Rajendra krishna and C.Ramchandra was broken and it became an additional reason for C Ramchandra’s downfall from his successful musical career. In this year 3 Qawalis became Hits. First was ‘Sadhana’s ‘ Aaj kyun humse parda hai’. The other 2 qawalis were from B and C grade fils. ‘Jungle Princess’ had the first ever qawali’ Adaayen teer hain’, which was a competition between Males and females. The third one was a real surprise. Film ‘Al Hilal’ gave ” Hamen to loot liya hai milke husn walon ne”, composed by Bulo C Rani.
Nargis- Sunil Dutt got married on 11th March and Shashi Kapoor- Jeniffer got married on 2nd July. Old time actors Gope and Yaqub expired. Devika Rani got Padmashree.
Some of the popular and Hit films were Aakhri Dao-Madan Mohan, Aji Bas Shukriya – Roshan, Amar Deep-C.Ramchandra, Chalti ka naam gaadi, Kala pani, Sitaron se aagey and Solva Saal – S.D.Burman, Dilli ka Thug-Ravi, Howrah Bridge, Phagun and Ragini- O.P.Nayyar, Lala Rukh and Phir Subah Hogi- Khayyam, Madhumati-Salil Chaudhari, Parvarish-Dattaram, Sadhana-N.Datta, Yahudi-Shankar-Jaikishen etc etc.
Dilli ka Thug-1958 was prodominently a Kishore Kumar film.
Kishore Kumar came to Bombay to become a singer, but he was forced by the circumstances to become a comedy actor. For Kishore Kumar, his dream of becoming a singer was looking bleak. Instead of singing, he was getting offers to do comic roles in films. It was only Dada Burman who dared to cast Kishore as the Playback singer for Dev Anand. The first ever song he sang for Dev Anand was ” Mere labon mein chhipe”-Baazi-51. However, it was not until his song in Munimji-55 ” Jeevan ke safar mein raahi” that he proved he was a singer first and actor next. Out of all 12 songs of Munimji, only this song was the most popular and hummable. In Funtoosh-56,Dada gave him ” Dukhi man mere”.By now Kishore was out of Saigal’s shadow. The song clicked, but not Kishore, because in that period he had heaps of acting offers and there was no time for concentrating on singing. He settled for singing his own songs and those songs for Dev which Dada gave him occasionally.
When Kishore kumar was trying very hard to establish himself in the film industry, at least as a comedy hero-if not a singer, it was Dada Burman who helped him by giving him songs in almost every film of his in the 50s.
Dada was an experimentalist and had judged Kishore very well. He knew that Kishore was a talented artiste, though without formal training in music. In the days when the music was serious and classical oriented, there were no takers for Kishore except Dada Burman. Kishore had a plain voice and had nothing else except his spontaneity in front of the mike to help him.
S D Burman was a path breaker. There are few instances of Dada going against the tide and winning ! The trend in the film industry was to use one singer for one actor in one film. Like, Mukesh for Raj Kapoor, Kishore for Rajesh khanna or Rafi for Dilip or later on for Shammi kapoor etc. Dada did not subscribe to this theory. He would use the singer depending on the mood of the song and situation of the song in the film. No matter if he has to use more singers for one Hero in One film.
Thus, Manhar, Kishore and Rafi sang for Amitabh in Abhimaan and Rafi, Kishore and Manna Dey sang for Dev Anand in Manzil. He had tried Kishore on Raj Kapoor in Pyar-50. In Sagina, Kshore sang for Dilip Kumar.
Kishore Kumar is the only singer in the world to have sung songs for three generations of actors from one family-TWICE !
He sang song “Bainya chhodo” for Mumtaz Ali, father of Mehmood-for whom Kishore sang many songs and in film Yehi hai Zindagi, Kishor sang for Mehmood’s son Lucky Ali.
He sang for Raj Kapoor in Pyaar-50, then he sang many songs for his son Rishi Kapoor. In the 2008 film, ” Bachna ae Haseeno”- Kishore Kumar song- Bachna ae Haseena was lip synched by Rishi Kapoor’s son, Ranbir Kapoor.
Despite the outstanding success of ”Padosan”-68, Kishore remained where he was- neither an actor nor a singer. The turning point came in 1969. S D Burman was composing music for ‘Aradhana’. He had already recorded 2 duets of Rafi and then Dada Burman fell seriously ill. He handed over the reins of music of this movie to his son R D Burman. Dada had already made the tunes. R D had only to make the recordings. Fresh from the success of Padosan and the songs of Kishore in that film, R D decided to record 2 solos and 1 duet with Lata in Kishore’s voice. Dada was not at all in a position to even protest and R D had never preferred Rafi over Kishore.
Kishore recorded the songs and ”the rest is History” as they say. In the 21st year of his film career, finally, Kishore had achieved what he had been dreaming of. Now every other composer wanted only Kishore and not Rafi. R D Burman had quietly brought a revolution in HFM, hoodwinking all, even his own father ! On his part, Kishore too had matched Rajesh Khanna’s screen presence with vitality and freshness in the songs of Aradhana. The success of Aradhana-not only its songs, but also a successful popular film with the most ordinary plot ever, was so much that people forgot that Hemant Kumar too had used Kishore Kumar for Rajesh Khanna in 1969 only itself in film Khamoshi, for the song” Voh shyam kuch ajeeb thi”. But this classic song from Hemant Kumar was swept away in Aradhana floods.
With ‘Aradhana’, Kishore’s second Golden period started-1970 to 1975, from 1970 to 1985, it is called Kishore Yug in HFM, but the melodious songs which he sang during the 6 years, i.e. 70-75 were really his best. Even after that Kishore did give some good songs, but,as he himself said in an interview ” the real music ended with 1975. Later on it was only factory production on line”. During 1970 to 1985 he sang more than 1800 songs in 764 films. You can imagine the quality of songs in later years.
Kishore had waited for 21 years to become a Singer, and he did become one, he sang only for 18 years !
it is a coincidence that one of the actors in Film Dilli ka Thug had also come to films to become a singer- and he had recorded some songs too- but ended up as an actor. The name may be unexpecte for most readers. He was IFTEKHAR !
Sayyadana Iftekhar Ahmed Shareef was born in Jallundhar on 26-2-1922. His father was a big gun in a private company at Kanpur, so his education upto Matriculation took place in Kanpur. Then he went to Lucknow to do a Diploma in Painting. He was very fond of singing and wanted to become a singer like the legendary Saigal. Naturally , he went to Calcutta to gain entry into singing . There he met Kamal Dasgupta who was impressed with his personality and mannerisms.
He not only recorded 2 of his songs, but also recommended his name as an actor to his production company. In 1944, Iftekhar was taken as an actor in the film Taqraar, opposite actress Jamuna. Next year, he did Ghar-45 and also Rajlakshmi-45- in which Talat Mehmood also acted and sang songs. During this period he fell in love with a Jew Girl- Hanna Joseph, who stayed in his building. Iftekhar broke his earlier engagement to Sayeeda from Lucknow and got married to Hanna, after converting her to Islam. Sayeeda never married in her lifetime after this break up. He got 2 daughters.
After 1947, his family had migrated to Pakistan, but he chose to remain in India. By that time he had done 2 more films, namely, Aisa Kyun and Tum aur Main. He decided to shift to Bombay due to riots in Calcutta in 47-48. In Bombay, he had no work and faced a lot of problems. His wife had to do a job for sustenance. Iftekhar was recognised and helped by Ashok Kumar. He was given a role in the film Muqaddar-50. Being a good painter, Iftekhar taught Painting to Ashok Kumar. In the next 20 years, he did 70 films.
Then came the film Ittefaq-1969, in which he did the role of a Police Officer. This film changed his life and there was no looking back. Films like Zanjeer, Deewar etc further augmented his image and he was well entrenched. He bought a house, car etc. His daughters got married. Iftekhar acted in 318 films in all.
After his younger daughter’s death, Iftekhar was a broken man. He fell ill and within a month’s time, he died on 1-3-1995.
It is written in many places on the Internet, that Iftekhar was the brother of actress Veena. It is NOT true. His only sister Shameem got married and migrated to Lahore, in 1947, where she died recently. Veena’s brother Iftekhar was a different person who got embroiled in the love affair of actress Suraiya.

‘Film Hi Film’ (1983), was produced by Shahab Ahmed and was directed by Hiren Nag. The film starred Pran in a role of a film producer with Seema Deo as his wife and Ramesh Deo as his Secretary. Rest of the cast consisted of Raj Kishor, Birbal, Mohan Choti, Pandit Iqbal, Mulchand, and the new faces, Furqan, Bipin, Sonia and Beena. The screenplay and dialogues were written by Kamaleshwar. It was a novel idea to incorporate scenes and songs from some of the incomplete/shelved films of 1950s, 60s and 70s into the story of the film.
The film is about an old-time filmmaker, Seth Gyanchand Shah (Pran), one of the top film producers, who has now become a pauper. He recalls his golden days of film making while giving an interview for a documentary film for which he gets a fee of Rs.50000/-. With this money in hand, he is tempted to make a new beginning as a film producer by taking new faces and training them for acting in the film. How he faces the enormous problems of arranging finance, overcomes other obstacles to complete and release the film is the essence of the story.
Shahab Ahmed who had earlier produced ‘Cinema Cinema’ (1979) was on a visit to Bombay Film Laboratory. He found to his dismay that there were umpteen cans of incomplete films lying there. Such films included those made by film directors like Ramesh Saigal, (‘Sikhwa’, 1954), Vinod Kumar (‘Ye Basti Ye Log’ – 1958), Manibhai Vyas (‘Reporter’ – 1960), R S Tara, (‘Picnic’ – 1960), Nandlal Jaswantlal (‘Behrupia’- 1964), K Asif, (‘Sasta Khoon Mehnga Paani’-1964), Kishore Sahu (‘Naya Mandir’-1961 and ‘Jahaan Miley Dharti Aakaash’-1962), Raj Khosla. (‘Saajan Ki Galiyaan’ – 1968), Surendra Mohan (‘Khuda Gawaah’-1970), ‘Kailash Kapoor (‘Ek Thhi Chaadar Ek Thhi Sudha’ – 1970) and many more. There were more than 2000 incomplete films lying in the laboratory. Shahab Ahmed thought that why should film audience be deprived of such abandoned films for which producers and artists had made enormous efforts. So, he came with the idea of incorporating scenes and songs from a few select such films to make a full-length feature film. Thus, the idea of making ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983) was born. [Source: ‘…..and Pran’ by Bunny Rueben (2005)].
The gist of the story of the film is as under:
Seth Gyanchand Shah (Pran) has been a successful filmmaker for over 3 decades. However, for the film under production, he is short of finance to commence the film’s last schedule of shooting. He goes to his co-producer, Jamnadas requesting him to contribute his share of finance for the film. He shows his inability to pay his share of money under the pretext that his funds are locked in other business.
Savitri (Seema Deo), who is already disgusted with her husband’s filmmaking business, refuses to take money from her wealthy father to finance the film. Instead, she leaves the house and shifts to her parental house. Caught in a bind, Gyanchand sells his house and the car and borrow money against promissory notes to complete the film. After the release of the film, Gyanchand is financially broke. His cheques bounce. His creditors file a criminal case against him for cheating and is awarded imprisonment of 5 years.
After the release from the jail, Gyanchand lives alone in a hutment. One day, a documentary film maker who is planning a film on Gyanchand visits him with his team to interview him. At first, he refuses to give interview but agrees after he is told that his experience in the filmmaking of over 3 decades would be helpful to the new generation of film makers. He starts with his first experience of visiting a film’s shooting in a studio. As he talks about his experiences, the scenes and songs from a few unreleased films appear on the screen as supplements to his talks.
At the end of the interview, Gyanchand is paid Rs.50000/- as his honorarium. Gyanchand is happy and he immediately thinks of making a new film. But making a film with this sum is not going to be easy. Some of the artists and crew who had earlier worked with him in his good days volunteer to work for him free. He selects 4 new actors to whom he imparts training in acting and dialogue delivery. He promises all of them that if the film is successful, he would pay them. Savitri, who comes to know about her husband’s new film from a film magazine, visits him and gives all her jewelleries for raising finance for the film by saying that ‘agar film tumhaari zindagi hai to tum meri zindagi ho’.
Gyanchand completes the film. However, no distributor is willing to even watch the film leave alone the distribution on the ground that the audience would not like his old style of film making. Frustrated by his inability to get the film released, Gyanchand comes home, and he is about the destroy the film’s negatives when all his actors prevent him from doing so. At that moment, Jamnadas, his former co-producer visits him and volunteers to distribute his film as a penance for not financially helping him earlier. The film gets released and receives good response from the audience during which his wife, Savitri joins him in celebrations.
I had watched this film some year back and I had liked it. In fact, at that time, I felt sympathetic to the character played by Pran who has given a good performance. However, when I watched once again on a video sharing platform, I felt that a good subject with a novelty of using clips from some unreleased films have been attempted with an amateurish way by the director and probably the editor as well.
‘Film Hi Film’ (1983) had 11 songs of which 9 songs were incorporated in the film from unreleased films. Only 2 songs were recorded for the film afresh which were written by Indeevar and set to music by Bappi Lahiri. Of the 9 songs from unreleased films, 3 songs have been already covered on the Blog under the films’ original titles.
I am presenting the first of the two songs specifically recorded for the film, ‘jeene ki ek adaa hai humko to ek nasha hai’ rendered by Kishore Kumar. The song appears in the film when shooting of dance song is going on in the presence of film’s producer, Seth Gyanchand Shah (Pran) and his Secreatary, Girdhari (Ramesh Deo). The last stanza of the song is repeated twice in the film in the background – once when Pran is signing promissory notes, selling his bungalow and car etc to borrow funds to finance the film and the second time when he gets 5 years imprisonment and is in the jail.

Entire month of october and first half of november saw India awash in cricket mania. ODI World cup cricket was being held in India from 5 october 2023 to 19 november 2023.
As games progressed, we found India keep winning one match after another. They won all their nine group matches and finished top of the table. In contrast, other teams had to scramble and fight hard to qualify for the semi finals. When the group matches were over, India were at the top with nine wins, South Africa and Australia, with seven wins each were second and third. New Zealand, with five wins took the fourth and final semi final position. Other six teams, including England the defending champions fell by the wayside.
The last three matches, unlike the first 45 matches, were knockout matches. What happened in the group stages had no bearing on what was going to happen in the semi finals.
India had to face New Zealand in the semi final. It was all very tough and stressful for Indian fans. If Afghanistan, who had Australia on the mat in their group match, had managed to take the last three Australian wickets as cheaply as they had claimed the top seven wicket, then Afghanistan could well have qualified as the fourth team and faced India. But that was not to be. Afghanistan failed to claim another wicket and Australia claimed a miraculous victory, without losing any more wicket.
New Zealand had been a difficult opponent for India in world cups. In the group stage, India had managed to break a 20 year old jinx of always losing to New Zealand in World cups, but would they be able to do it again in the semi final ? It would have been very difficult for India to take the blow had the hitherto undefeated Indian team gone down to New Zealand that had lost as many as four out of their nine matches in the tournament and had only won against non qualifying teams in the tournament. India piled on a big total batting first, but New Zealand, despite losing two early wickets, were looking well set to overhaul India total. To make matters worse, India had even dropped a catch when a well set New Zealand batsman gave a catch.
When it all looked lost, fortunately Williamson mishit one attempted six and this time the fielder at the boundary made no mistake. This lucky break fortunately turned the tide in favour of India. New Zealand kept fighting, as is their wont, but India managed to win by 70 runs in the end. The huge target set by Indian batsmen helped them in winning the semi final.
The other Semi final saw South Africa electing to bat first on winning the toss, as they had done in group matches. Unlike in group matches, where they would pile on huge totals and then defend the total, this time they found the going tough. The ball was seaming and swinging all around so their decision to bat first backfired. South Africa were soon reduced to 24/4. They could not recover from it and were bowled out for 212. Australia in reply made a quick start, but soon started to lose wickets, especially to spin. In the end, they huffed and puffed to a three wickets win.
So, final was set up between India and Australia. Our media, and even for that matter even the foreign media began to think that Indian win in the final was going to be a certainty.
When final took place, we saw that Australia had done their homework and they had made elaborate plans. They won the toss, and elected to field, much to the surprise of Indians. Indians, it was thought would score a big total, like they had done in the semi final and that would be curtains for Australia. But that was not to be. India, after scoring 80/2 in ten overs, could only score 160/8 in the next forty overs. Australia, after losing three early wickets, recovered, consolidated and finally emerged comfortable winners by six wickets, with 43 balls to spare.
What happened in the final ? Why all predictions and forecasts of Indian wins went haywire ?
It was difficult to see the faint writing on the wall in the haze of shrill hype, but the facts were unmistakably indicating that Indian think tank were getting too arrogant and cocky for their own good. By the final, Indians were no longer playing like a team that was hungry. It was looking like an overfed team that thought it had done enough and they only needed to do the same thing once again in the final that they had done ten times.
But Australia, that struggled in the beginning of the tournament, had gradually got into their grooves. Unlike India, whose graph had peaked and was now on decline, Australian graph was nearing its peak and still climbing.
With the benefit of hindsight, we can see so many weaknesses that India possessed that other teams failed to exploit but Austrlia exploited.
India think tank were complacent in the final and they had underestimated Australia. Australia on the other hand had done their homework thoroughly for each and every Indian players. Indian think tank played exactly the same team that they had played for the last few matches. That played into Australian hands because for them it was liking guessing the question paper correctly. India needed to ask them questions out of syllabus. In other words, India needed to do something that Australia had not prepared for.
What was that ? It meant India needed to play Ashwin. Australia had so many lefthanders in their team. Ashwin was a tried and successful bowler against them. In the first match between these two teams at Chennai, Ashwin was played and he was very economical and effective against Australia taking one for 34 in his ten overs. That is not all. Ashwin had also played against Australia in the quarterfinal in 2011. There he had taken 2 top order wickets for 52 in his ten overs. India had won that quarterfinal match. But India, in a lakeer ka fakeer manner blindly followed the dictum of “do not disturb the winning combination”. They did not realise that their tried and tested combination was a losing combination against Australia.
Moreover, Indian “winning” combination was easier to plan against for Australians and their planning was meticulous. They had plans for each Indian batsmen. Their task was made easier because all Indian batsmen in top order were right handers. Moreover, they had a left arm pacer (Starc). It is a kind of bowler that always troubles Indian right hander batsmen. And so it proved. Starc turned out to be the wrecker in chief claiming three for 55 including the key wickets of Gill and Rahul.
This Indian team was seriously dependent on good start by first three wickets. For the second time in the tournament, first three batsmen failed. The first occasion too was against the same team in group match. Once India lost the first three wickets at the total of 81, it was as if wind was taken out of Indian sails. The batsmen at the crease started to bat timidly realising that they had too long a tail. While 80 runs were scored in 10 overs, only 160 runs were scored in next 40 overs.
If either Gill or Shreyas Aiyyar had survived for another ten overs, then things would have been different, but that was not to be.
One can say that the team balance was very badly disturbed after the injury of Pandya. His presence allowed India to have six frontline bowlers and longer batting. Because of his absence, the team had longer tail. Suryakumar Yadav turned out to be a failure with the bat. Team management expectation that he would be able to bat like how he batted in T20 were misplaced. He failed abysmally to justify the faith the team management had on him.
Those who think that this team was very strong and deserved to win the title got their answer in the final. No, this team was not strong enough to win the final. It had only five bowlers. If one of them failed, the team bowling failed. Likewise, the batting relied on big contribution from top three. If that did not come, then the entire batting collapsed like a pack of cards. All these weaknesses were exposed in the final match.
So, Indians have be be reconciled to the fact that they were second best in the final and therefore they end up as the runners up.
The last ODI world cup title win of India was in 2011. When we look at that team, we realise how lucky Indians were to have that team. That team did not slow down after the fall of three wickets. In fact that team did not slow down even after the fall of five wickets. In the quarterfinal against Australia in 2011, India chasing 261, were reduced to 187/5. The sixth wicket pair of Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina then calmly took India home adding 74 runs in 61 balls.
Absense of one player did not upset the balance of that team, unlike this team of 2023. The team of 2023 had only five bowlers in the team and there were no part time backup bowlers in the playing XI. The team of 2011 played with four bowlers and seven batsmen. Most batsmen were very good wicket taking bowlers as well. Sachin Tendulkar, Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Suresh Raina- all could bowl and take wickets. In fact Gambhir and Kohli were the only top order batsmen in the team that were not bowlers. Yuvraj Singh in fact proved out to be the second most successful wicket taker for the team with 15 wickets !
And what about the batting of the 2011 Indian team ? Most of the time, a left hand-right hand batting combination was at the crease, making life difficult for the opposition bowlers. Half the batsmen were left handers and half the batsmen were right handers. Likewise in bowling, we had left arm pacers (Zaheer Khan, and Asish Nehra) and right arm pacer (Munaf Patel), followed by challenging offspin spin by Harbhajan Singh/ Ashwin, left arm othodox spin by Yuvraj Singh etc. This mind boggling variety while batting as well as bowling proved very important in the success of that team. This fact has not received adeqaute attention from the future think tanks of BCCI (including the present think tank).
What is more, the playing XI of that team kept getting changed and opponents found players in the playing XI they could not plan against. For example, Raina did not play in the group stage and he unexpectedly made his presence felt tellingly in the quarterfinal (against Australia) and in the semifinal (against Pakistan) and turned potentially match losing totals into match winning totals.
That team did lose one match. That was their final group match against South Africa. That loss made that Indian team shed any complacency/ overconfidence that they had developed about themselves. They were ready for the knockout stages with renewed vigour and hunger.
Though it is unfair to compare and contrast between two teams, but we can see that the present team did not have the same depth as the team of 2011. In fact, Indian teams of 2015 as well as 2019, like the team of 2023 have seemingly followed the same pattern. They top the group stage on the strength of their top order batsmen, and the weaknesses of their lower order batsmen remains unexposed. Their batting/ bowling fails in the all important knockout stage. These teams lack top order batsmen who could also bowl ten overs out of fifty. Their batting fire power fizzles off after the early loss of top order wickets. Lack of lower order batting firepower may have been the missing link that had made the all important difference in the final outcome of Indian teams in these tournaments.
Be thankful that the weakness got exposed only in the final. It could well have been exposed in the semi final itself. That would have been far more painful than the loss in the final. Let us also thank teams like South Africa and Afghanistan. They kept Pakistan out of semi final. Had it been India vs Pakistan semi final then a loss for India there would have left an unimaginably deep scar in the collective psyche of Indians.
Indians were using the same tricks against every team that were becoming old. They failed to surprise Australia with some new tricks. Australia were well prepared. Australia beat India hollow in planning and excecution.
This defeat has been very difficult for most Indians to take. The aftermath of this defeat had sent Indians into mass depression, despondency and disappointment.The six weaks time following this tournament seems to have been a big waste of time, money and productivity, which still could have been forgotte, forgiven and justified had India won the final.
Now that the inevitable has happened and Indians do not know how to react, it is time they pick themselves up and limp back to their normal lives. Let them learn some lessons and use these lessons in future when similar cricket tournaments come up again.
I, like million others find myself in the same boat, has noted down some points, that I hope will help us cope with such events in a more painless manner. So read along.
India has already reached where it could have reached in cricket. Any more investment in cricket will only be a waste of effort according to the law of diminishing returns. Instead of investing more money on cricket which will not lead to any improvement in the form of ICC titles, it is better if Indian sportslovers start detoxifying themselves from cricket. Take as much interest in cricket as you take in other sports and no more. What is the level of interest in Hockey for Indians ? They take interest only when a hockey tornament is on. Once the tournament is over, Indians quickly forget hockey. Few people know the names of Indian hockey players. Same level of interest need to be shown for Indian cricket. ODI world cup was over two days back. So go back to your normal life. Feeling of hurt, disillusionment, pain etc will serve no useful purpose because you have no say in running of Indian cricket. Please realise the true facts of life and be done with it. In India cricket is run by BCCI which is a private society registered in Chennai. It wants your money and it is excellent in taking money out of your pocket, but it is not answerable to you as an Indian citizen. The sooner you realise it and get reconciled to it, the better it will be for you.
India (which is BCCI)reached the final and lost there. Our media made so much noise while covering the world cup, that it convinced everyone that Indian team was far too good for all opposition and it was 100 % going to lift the title. Everyone bought into this hype and ended up enriching the coffers of BCCI and ICC. Not just public, even the government got influenced by the hype as we could see on the day of the final.
It is high time Indians learnt the lesson and stopped buying the hype created by Indian media. This hype was so sickening. To my mind it was no different from air pollution in North India. Air pollution was affecting only North India but this hype pollution had far worse effect on Indian population all over India. When the hype bubble got punctures, Indians who bought into the hype are finding it very difficult to come to grips with reality. Please learn from this experience and make sure that you will not allow this happen again the next time another cricket world cup comes around (in one year time). If possible, make use of this experience to say no to the next IPL that will come up in five months time. No amount of playing IPL will make BCCI players world beaters in ICC events The sooner we realise it the better it is for you. In any cases there have been enough Indians who have been brainwashed into following cricket and they will continue following it. Those who do not want to suffer from the same shock again unlike the brainwashed population should learn the lesson and move on. They should follow cricket only when the team is doing well and stop following it when the team is not performing well. That is what we do while following other sports. So why should cricket be any different ?
Why put all your eggs in the same basket ? You are an Indian, not a neighbouring country that has no other sport other than cricket to look up to. Look at other sports. They have so much pleasure to give you. Chess for example. Are indians aware that India is number two chess playing nation in the world in chess ranking? USA is number one, Russia, for long number one in the world has fallen behind India at number three. Chess, unlike cricket is played in every country of the world. Other cricket playing nations are far far behind India in Chess. Among other teams participating in the cricket world cup, Netherlands is second at 11th, England is 14th, Australia 42nd, Bangaldesh 70th, South Africa 71st, New Zealand 79th, Sri Lanka 99th, Pakistan 110th, Afghanistan 123rd. On the same days when cricket world cup was being held, grand swiss Chess tournament was held. Is was sort of like Wimbledon of Chess where the highest ranked players from the world participated. Indians won the open (men’s) as well as Women’s title in this tournament. That should have been the biggest sporting achievement for Indians in recent times, but Indians were not even aware of it.
Apart from chess, Indians are world class in shooting, Archery, badminton as well. With a fraction of money and time that is being devoted to cricket, india will be among world’s best in other sports as well.
In brief, Indian interest in cricket has already touched the level of oversaturation. It is high time we make it a little unsaturated where performance and title wins are rewarded, while non performance and non title wins are penalised by lack of interest from the public. If public keep rewarding cricketers who act more as rock stars and less as cricketers then Indian public will keep suffering the same heartbreaks in future as well. Say no to such heartbreaks again.
Yesterday (20 november 2023), which was the day after the cricket world cup final and a day of disappointment for Indians, I had posted a song that some of our regulars thought was being published to mourn the Indian defeat, but without any accompanying writeup I was told that a writeup, with a few words of consolation would be appreciated. So, here is this writeup which I hope will act as some balm to the pains that Indian cricket followers have suffered.
On this occasion, here is a song from “Mr India”(1987). “Mr India”(1987) was produced by Boney Kapoor and Directed by Shekhar Kapur and Satish Kaushik. The movie had Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, Amrish Puri, Ashok Kumar, Satish Kaushik, Anu Kapoor, Aftab Shivdasani, Ahmed Khan, Bob Christo, Harish Patel, Ramesh Deo, Yunus Parvez, Anjan Srivastava, Ajit Vachchani, Karan Nath, Sharat Saxena, Gurbachan, Dalip Tahil etc in it.
This movie had six songs in it. Three songs have been covered in the past.
This song, a suitable song for the occasion is sung by Kishore Kumar. Javed Akhtar is the lyricist. Music is composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal. The song is picturised on Anil Kapoor and several kids.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————
(A Tribute to Kishore Kumar – The Versatile Genius)
Today (13 October 2023) we pay our tributes to the ‘versatile genius’ Kishore Kumar (04.08.1929 – 13.10.1987) on his thirty-sixth ‘Remembrance Anniversary’.
Much has already been written about Kishore Kumar in the media and on this blog too. So I am not going to repeat the same today. But I would like to mention that Kishore Kumar will be discussed till HFM exists on this planet. Much will be written about him till the HFM exists on this planet. People of future generations will keep coming across his songs and his biography and his acting and musical skills and his writing skills and his directing skills and … we can go on adding about this multifaceted personality, and a simple yet sometimes eccentric human being.One needs to into depth into his life to understand Kishore Kumar fully. So people will keep discoving facts about him.
On this occasion I am presenting a lesser heard song sung by Kishore Kumar. I became aware of this song a little while ago. This song is from the ‘1988’ movie ‘Aakhri Muqaabla’. I was unaware about this movie till recently. I had never listened to this song in the past. I became aware of this song thanks to the book – ‘When Ardh Satya met Himmatwaala- The many lives of 1980s’ Bombay Cinema’ by Avijit Ghosh which I added to my library recently. The author mentions this song under ‘super songs that never hit the charts’ (from the eighties). On the musical front the decade of ‘eighties’ was ruled by ‘Bappi Lahiri’ music and of many songs that people would like to forget about, but there was also ‘unforgetteble’ music created during this decade and today’s song is one such song. Listening to the today’s song also reminds me of a composition from the movie ‘Sitamgar-1985’ which was composed by R.D. Burman. However the today’s song is composed by Usha Khanna. The singer for the both songs is Kishore Kumar.
Today’s song is from the movie ‘Aakhiri Muqaabla’ (passed by Censor Board on 19.12.1988).
‘Aakhiri Muqaabla’ was directed by Sudesh Chandra Issar for ‘Lily Films, Bombay’. It was produced by Dr D.D. Singh and Mrs Baljinder Kaur. The cast of this movie included Shashi Kapoor, Suresh Oberoi, Rajan Sippy, Divya Rana, Padmini Kapila, Puneet Issar, Asha Sachdev, Paintal, Shammi, Dev Kumar, Brahmachari, Pradeep Kumar, Chandrashekhar, Junior Mehmood, Chand Usmani, Mac Mohan, Nandita Thakur, Ram Mohan, Bob Christo, Tej Sapru, Shivraj, Dharmesh Tiwari, Vyjanti, Jerry, Asha Sharma and others. This movie introduced D.D. Singh and Palaaki Singh. And the movie had Dharmendra in an ‘above all-special appearance’.
Story of this movie was written by Jag Mohan Singh. Screenplay was by Surinder Kaul and Dialogues were written by Raja Bedi. Editing of this film was done by Padmakar Nirbhavane.
There were thrree lyricists in this movie. They are Gauhar Kanpuri, Jag Mohan Singh and Indeevar. Kishore Kumar (who had passed away in 1987), Asha Bhonsle and Suresh Wadkar had given their voices to the songs in this movie. Music for this movie was composed by Usha Khanna. This movie has total three songs including the multi-part song under discussion. However the lyricistwise breakupfor the individual songs is not known. An Audio link of the song mentions the lyricist name as Indeevar for this song but it needs to be confirmed. The link mentions Usha Khanna’s voice in the duet version, but her name does not appear in the title of this movie under the list of singers for this movie.
This song is available in three parts. The first part is played in background and video of this song is available. This song is played when the titles are rolling and we can see Shashi Kapoor as a Doctor and others on the screen. The video of the second part could not be found as of now. The third part is played at the end of the movie in the background. Here we can see Shashi Kapoor, Rajan Sippy, Padmini Kapila, and Divya Rana on the screen. Also seen is Dharmendra smiling as ‘all ends well’ 🙂
I hope readers will enjoy this song. It is a philosophical song.
Let us listen to this song now …
With this song the movie ‘Aakhiri Muqaabla-1988’ makes its debut on the blog.

Rajesh Khanna – The Phenomenon – 12
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –- – –
Today 18th July 2023 is the ‘eleventh remembrance’ anniversary of Rajesh Khanna.
He was born on 29th December’1942 and he passed away on 18th July’2012.
Much has already been written about him in the media (print & digital) and on this blog and much has been known to movie-goers and general public too.
So I am not going to repeat it here again.
In the Indian Film Industry the Rajesh Khanna era started with ‘Aradhana’ in ‘1969’. Peoples like me, who were born in the end-sixties or early seventies and after that, were too young to witness that ‘mass hysteria’ that people with first hand experience are never tired of telling us.
Even in the reality shows nowadays on TV, guest celebrities who were co-stars of Rajesh Khanna always mention it that ‘irrespective of the controversies surrounding him and the negative aspects being talked about him he was a ‘great actor’ and nobody in the film industry have got the ‘love and affection’ from people like Rajesh Khanna got .
In this episode we are going to have a look at Rajesh Khanna movies from the year ‘1985’.
The year ‘1985’ saw as many as nine Kaka movies released during it. The list of these nine movies is as given below.
| SNo | Movie Title | Director | Passed by Censor Board | Co-artistes |

Out of the ten movies mentioned above one movie ‘Baayen Haathh Kaa Khel’ was not released and it remains an unreleased movie till date.
The movie ‘Baabu’ was passed by Censor Board in ‘1983’ but it was released in theatres in ‘1985’.
During 1983 to 1985 I was staying in Akola with my grand-parents for my 11th-12th studying there in vocational junior college. However as I have mentioned earlier I was more on ‘cricket’ and ‘movies’ than into my studies and finally I failed in the exams (as expected by me 🙂 ).
I remember I had watched ‘Zamaana’ at Akola before moving to Parli-Vaijnath as my 11th-12th was completed (or finished 🙂 ). Overall it was an ‘average movie’ if I am correct.
After reaching at Parli-Vaijnath I had joined a company for job and was working there. However, there was a cricket tournament at Akola and so my friends called me back there and I went to participate in this tournament.
During this time I had watched ‘Masterji’ there at Akola and I remember how disappointed I was, as I do not like the movie at all.
Then I watched ‘Oonche Log-1985’ at Parli-Vaijnath which had good music by R.D. Burman and everything was good in the movie except Salma Agha so this movie of Kaka was another flop movie.
The company I was working with at Parli-Vaijnath had their head quarter at Nagpur. Once I was sent for some work at Head Office at Vijay Nagar (near Sadar) Nagpur. After finishing the official work I took time to watch ‘Aakhir Kyon?’ at ‘Panchsheel’ theatre at Nagpur. I remember I liked this movie and Kaka’s role in it very much.
Out of the remaining movies from the list now, I remember I watched ‘Alag Alag’ and ‘Baabu’ at Parli Vaijnath either in theatres or in video parlors. The reviews of ‘Baabu’ were very good and the movie had a good collection too in its first week. But it didn’t keep it further.
I do not get to watch the remaining movies further.
If we take a look at the list of ‘highest grossing movies’ of ‘1985’ on IMDB it mentions the following Rajesh Khanna movies as ‘Hits’ in this list.
| 1) | Hum Dono (of 1984) | (rank 4) |
| 2) | Bewafaai | (5) |
| 3) | Baabu | (9) |
| 4) | Masterji | (12) |
| 5) | Insaaf Main Karoongaa | (13) |
| 6) | Zamaana | (15) |
| 7) | Durgaa (of 1984) | (18) |
| 8) | Aakhir Kyon? | (20) |
| 9) | Alag Alag | (33) |
(There are 47 movies in IMDB’s list as highest grossing movies of ‘1985’ out of which the first 31 are considered as ‘super-hits’ (?) and the rest 16 as ‘average’ movies’. I hope this analysis must be supported by factual figures (?) The topper of this list is ‘Ram Teri Gangaa Maili’ about which nobody should have doubts of-course.)
Today I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Oonche Log-1985’.
‘Oonche Log-1985’ was directed by Brij for ‘Dynamo Enterprises, Bombay’.
It was produced by Sayeeda Sadanah, R.K. Kapoor, and R. P. Sharma.
It had Rajesh Khanna, Salma Agha, Prem Chopra, Preeti Sapru, Deven Verma, and Danny Denzongpa, Pradeep Kumar, Pinchoo Kapoor with Raza Murad in special appearance.
Story and screenplay of this movie was written by Surhid Kar. Dialogues of this movie were written by Ved Rahi.
Editing of this film was done by Waman Rao (I guess he is from the famous duo of Waman Rao Bhonsle-Guru Dutt Shirali).
‘Oonche Log-1985’ was passed by Censor Board on 06.05.1985.
This movie has five songs written by Anjaan and composed to music by R.D. Burman.
Kishore Kumar and Salma Agha had given playback to the songs in this movie.
The songs of this movie are very good if not great. Out of the five songs Kishore Kumar and Salma Agha have sung three solo and one solo song respectively. And one song is a duet song sung by Kishore Kumar and Salma Agha.
Here is the brief about the story of this movie…
Rai Bahadur (Pinchoo Kapoor) is big businessman and Jagdev Singh (Rajesh Khanna) is his son. Jagdev Singh gets married to a girl (I am unable to identify the actress) who has saved his life, against his Father’s wish who wants him to marry him with his friend’s daughter. Jagdev Singh leaves his father’s home with his wife and they are expecting a child.
Raju (who grows up as Rajesh Khanna later) and his mother met an accident by a car of Thakur Vikram Singh (Pradeep Kumar). In this accident Raju loses his mother while his father had already passed away earlier.
Thakur Vikram Singh brings Raju to his home to stay with them. However Vikram Singh’s son Maan (Danny Denzongpa as a grown up Maan) hates Raju while Vikram Singh’s daughter Poonam (Salma Agha as grown up Poonam) likes Raju.
Thakur Vikram Singh sends Maan to boarding school since he do not approves his habits and style of living.Thakur Vikram Singh has a brother Thakur Pratap Singh who is a womanizer and spends money on alcohol and racing too. He is eyeing on his brother’s property and gets him smothered. Raju watches this which Pratap Singh is unaware of.
After Thakur Vikram Singh’s death Raju’s life becomes more miserable. Pratap Singh calls Maan back to home and throws Raju in the stable where a good soul Khan (Raza Murad) has a soft corner for Raju and treats him kindly always.
Raju grows up on bad treatment and constant beating by Maan for reason one another but doesn’t want to leave the place because of Poonam. Many times Poonam helps him and Raju also saves Poonam on several occasions too (like during horse riding, snake biting etc).
Raju and Poonam love each other which Maan gets noticed and beats Raju black and blue.
To save Raju from Maan, Poonam tells Raju that she didn’t love him. Raju decides to leave but in between Pratap’s men caught Raju on the way to get him killed.
They tie Raju with ropes to horses and dragged him to the hills and thinking him dead throws him for the vultures.However Rai Bahadur and his accomplice Mubarak Ali (Deven Verma) with their gunmen and driver, who are on hunting around that location, save Raju.
Rai Bahadur is more than happy to meet his grandson which Raju also gets to know when Rai Bahadur shows him photographs of his father.Now Raju becomes Rai Bahadur Rajiv Singh and on the other side Maan Singh is losing financially day by day due to wine, women, horse-racing and an embezzling uncle.
Rai Bahadur Rajiv now plans for his revenge with Maan so he sends a profitable business offer to Maan through Mubarak Ali and Maan starts losing more in shares on the advice of Mubarak Ali. There is a suspicion when Maan and Pratap meets Rai Bahadur Rajiv Singh or Raju however Raju never gives them a chance and keep them suspecting and he also starts flirting with Sonia (Preeti Sapru who is fiancé of Maan Singh). (That is also to hurt Poonam more)
Finally when Raju is telling Pratap about the secret of him which he is a witness to, Maan secretly listens to their conversation and the reality of Pratap is dawned upon him. Maan plans to take revenge of his father’s killing by Pratap and took Pratap near the valley and on the gun-point he gets Pratap Singh thrown in in the ‘valley of death’.
Raju returns everything to Maan and forgives Maan for his all cruelties on him, because his father’s kindness who had given him a shelter in his childhood after he lost his mother.
While Raju leaves the ‘haveli’ Maan asks his sister Poonam to go with Raju who is her true love.
***
Now one dialogues from the movie by Rajesh Khanna which I like most …
(This is when Sonia (Preeti Sapru) asks Raju (Kaka) why he is suffering (like a ‘ghulaam’) and questions him why he does not leave and lefts this place…)
“Shaakh kaanton ko sirf isliye bardaasht karti hai memsaab, ke us par kaanton ke saath saath phool bhi khilte hain.
Main bhi usi shaakh ki tarah hoon jo pyaar ke phool ki khaatir zulm aur nafrat ke kaante bhi bardaasht kar rahaa hoon”
***
Today’s song happens when Raju is feeding horses in the stable 🙂 and starts reminiscing about his childhood days with Poonam.
We have Rajesh Khanna (in Kishore Kumar’s voice) and also Salma Agha in the picturisation of this lovely song.
***
Now we will have a look on the Kaka movies released in ‘1975’ (ten years back of 1985) that is around forty-eight years back from now, we have the following movies of Rajesh Khanna released in the year ‘1975’.
| SNo | Movie Title | Director | Passed by | Co-artistes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Aakraman | J. Omprakash | 14.05.1975 | Ashok Kumar, Sanjeev Kumar, Rekha, Rakesh Roshan |
| 02 | Prem Kahaani | Raj Khosla | 07.02.1975 | Shashi Kapoor, Mumtaz |
***
Today’s song is the first song from the movie ‘Oonche Log-1985’ in the movie and on this blog too. This movie makes its debut on the blog today and joins the movie with the same title which was released in the year ‘1965’.
Let us enjoy the today’s song now and pay our tributes to Rajesh Khanna on his ‘remembrance day’ today…

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.138
————————————————————————————–
Hullo Atuldom
I was not planning on a BTYC post. It is just that I got a mail from our Prakshchandraji with songs from a movie that was posted on this date in 2013 i.e. 11/07/2103.
Out of curiosity, I looked up to see what song from this film has appeared on the blog & I found this post. That song/ post belonged to the Padmini Kolhapure- Kumar Gaurav starrer, 1984 released, “Hum Hain Laajawab”. The film was directed by Mohan Sehgal and produced by Jawaharlal Bafna, C.D. Mehta, Vasant Desai (I think it should be Vasant Doshi) & Mrs. B.N. Shah. Anand Bakshi was the lyricist & RD Burman the music director.
I don’t recall seeing this movie at the time of its theatrical release; but I may have seen some part of it on some satellite television channel over the years. On looking up for the synopsis on some internet sites this is what I found:
“Thakur (Kamal Kapoor) is a wealthy, principled, and punctual man, who will not tolerate anything, even music in his palatial home. Thakur’s only motto in life is money, and each and every second is spent on making and earning money. His elder son, Amar Kumar (a grown up Master Mayur) rebels against this, and is warned. But Amar does not heed this warning, and falls in love with a poor gypsy girl, Jyoti (Huma Khan), and both elope in order to escape the wrath of his dad. Thakur second son, Pawan Kumar (Kumar Gaurav), is sent away abroad so that there are no lingering bad influences on his life. Years later, Pawan returns home, and is the exact cold-hearted and arrogant image as his dad. Amar and his wife give birth to a son, and Amar writes to his dad to forgive him. Shortly thereafter the couple pass away, leaving their son, with Jyoti’s sister, Dilruba (Padmini Kolhgapure). Thakur decides to forgive his late son and asks Pawan to go and bring his grandson (Master Ravi) home. Pawan sets forth to get his nephew, with the help of MGM (Rakesh Bedi), and meets a host of less-than-fortunate people. His attitude does not get him anywhere with Dilruba and he is forced to assume another identity, that of Aashiq, to try and get his nephew home. He does succeed in pulling wool over Dilruba’s eyes and both eventually fall in love with each other – little knowing that his dad has already planned his marriage with wealthy Meenakshi (Kiran Vairale) and if he refuses he may suffer the same fate as Amar.”
On reading the above I got a feeling that I was reading the story of the Rishi Kapoor- Padmini Kolhapure starrer ‘Zamaane Ko Dikhaana Hai’ that released in 1981. The other parallel between the two films is that Padmini plays the guardian to Randhir Kapoor & Neelam Mehra’s son; played by Master Ravi who played the same role in ‘Hum Hain Laajawab’.
Further researching gave me the enlightenment that there are other movies with the same storyline viz: ‘Love In Tokyo’ (1966), ‘English Babu Desi Mem’ (1996)’. As I was typing out all this our Peevesie pointed out that there was an American romantic comedy ‘Life As We Know It’ (2010); that had nearly similar story.
Going back to where this post started from, about the BTYC, let us see the songs that were posted on this date in 2013.
| Blog Post number | Song | Movie (Year) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8326 | Na tadapne ki ijaazat hai | Pyaar ki Jeet (1948) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now |
| 8327 | Aayi re ghir ghir pehli pehli badariya | Miss Mary (1957) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now |
| 8328 | Tum se dil kya lagaaya gaye kaam se | Duniya Rang Rangeeli (1957) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now |
| 8329 | Hey parwat tumse paarvati pooch rahi karke binti | Kailashpati (1962) | On the occasion of Avinash Vyas’s birth anniversary. His birthday is shown as 21 july in other sites, though |
| 8330 | Pag pag thokar khaaye jawaani | Hamaari Kismat (1949) | Uma Devi (Tuntun) birthday. Today (11 July 2023) is her 100th birth anniversary |
| 8331 | Dukh sukh ki har ik maala | Kudrat (1981) | Multi version song (by Rafi and Chandrashekhar Gadgil)On the occasion of remembrance anniversary of Qateel Shifai. Today (11 July 2023) is his 22nd remembrance day. |
| 8332 | Koi pardesee aaya pardes mein | Hum Hain Laajawaab (1984) | On the occasion of birthday of Kumar Gaurav |
From the above we can see that, on this date (11 July), 10 years ago, Atulji had posted 7 songs one of which was a multi-version song in the voices of Chandrashekar Gadgil & Mohd. Rafi, from ‘Kudrat’ (1981).
With this post we are wishing the (once) sweet looking, chocolate-boy, romantic actor Kumar Gaurav on his 67th birthday. He had a fabulous launch through “Love Story” (1981). The movie was a big success and he was expected to be the favourite actor for all teenage girls of that time, much like what Rajesh Khanna was in the early 1970s. But a few flop movies, which were either badly made or had indifferent plotlines, did not help his career. He expected that his career will revive when he had critically acclaimed performances in ‘Naam’ (1986) & ‘Janam’ (1985) – both of which were directed by Mahesh Bhatt. His last released Hindi film was the multi-starrer ‘Kaante’ (2002) where he shared screen space with Amitabh Bachchan, Suniel Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Mahesh Manjrekar & Lucky Ali.
Today’s beach-side song has Kishore Kumar giving playback for Manoj Kumar Tuli (Kumar Gaurav’s birth name). I am not sure if it is Padmini Kolhapure herself who is mouthing the words in between the antaras. I found a youtube link which shows the vinyl of the film, where the female voice is credited as Meena. Now who is this ? 🤔

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Darling Darling-1977)
——————————————-——————————————
Today’s song is from the movie ‘Darling Darling’ (1977). Going by the Censor Board Certificate dated 11.05.1977 of this movie, I was just over nine years old when this movie must have been released. But I did not get to watch this movie then and I do not remember to have watched it later elsewhere. This movie had few good songs and they happen to be played frequently on loud-speakers then. Particularly I think the title song of this movie was heard more than other songs then. To me this song was an irritating song then. We as children were even shy to say the word ‘darling’ because we thought it was ‘ultra-modern’ type word for children like us who were studying in ‘small village school’. 🙂
From the year 1977 I remember to have watched movies like ‘Agent Vinod’, ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’, ‘Chaachaa Bhatijaa’, ‘Chhailaa Baabu’, ‘Dharam Veer’, ‘Dildaar’, ‘Dream Girl’, ‘Hum Kisise Kam Nahin’, ‘Khoon Paseenaa’, and ‘Shirdi Ke Saibaba’. May be we also watched ‘Yahi Hai Zindagi’, but I could not recall it now. So, from the above list one can easily guess that with such films around we children would not have expected to watch a Dev Anand movie whose title was ‘Darling Darling’ in those days.
‘Darling Darling’ was produced by Kishore Doshi and directed by Gogi Anand for ‘Fortune Films International, Bombay’. Geet Kosh lists it as a movie of social genre. Story and screenplay of this movie was written by Gulshan Nanda. Dialogues of this movie were written by Bhushan Banmali. Editing of this film was done by Ashok Ghai.
It had Dev Anand, Zeenat Aman, Mehmood, Jeevan, Nadira, Dheeraj Kumar, Poonam, Sajjan, Durga Khote, Helen, Ranjan, Raj Verma, Shivraj, Shefali, V Gopal, Hercules, Baby Goody, Baby Padmini, Janki Das, Zankhana, Pushpanjali, Birbal, Roopa, Dev Raj, Julian, Hira, Geeta Khanna, Monto, Pushpa Nepali, Bhushan Sawhney, Dhanna, Shahid Bijnori, Shaikh, and others.
This movie has six songs written by Anand Bakshi and composed to music by RD Burman. Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle and RD Burman have given their voices to the songs in this movie. Following is the brief about the story of this movie taken from filmiclub.com
‘Darling Darling’ is an Indian Bollywood social film released in 1977. The film is directed by Gogi Anand.
It is the story of a young man and woman brought together by circumstances. In a bid to solve their own individual problems, they strike a bargain with each other, pass through various vicissitudes and ultimately fall in love and are united. – ‘Darling Darling’ is the story of two lovers who are caught in the cob-web of crime and conspiracy. The story takes unexpected turns almost in every reel and keeps the audience engrossed throughout the film. . Kumar (Dev Anand) is the grandson of a wealthy widow (Durga Khote). Having been jilted in love by Seema (Poonam), Kumar resolves never to marry. His grandmother wants a good wife in the house and threatens Kumar to disinherit him of the money if he did not marry soon. On the other hand, there is Madhu (Zeenat Aman) who has been brought up by her step-mother (Nadira) and tortured by step-sister Seema. To inherit the entire property of Madhu, left to her by her father Rai Bahadur Dinanath (Sajjan) Jeevan, Nadira, Seema and Jeevan’s son, Dheeraj conspire to marry Madhu with Dheeraj and kill her after marriage. . Madhu is saved from the pursuing thugs of Mrs. Rai Bahadur by Kumar, who on the advice of his friend Debu (Mahmood) brings her to his house with Debu posing as her father and makes her acceptable to his grandmother. Kumar thinks that he will get the entire property by having a “hired wife while the grandmother reveals to Madhu that they are actually very poor and the entire property has been mortgaged. . . The story takes a sudden twist when, in the absence of his grandmother, Kumar is unable to pay off the creditors. Madhu then offers to take him out of trouble if he became her “hired husband” and brought the conspirators to book.
What happens next is to be watched in the film 🙂
The movie having good music by Pancham featured in the top twenty Bollywood movies of 1977 (as per IMDB). However none of its’ songs got in the annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala’ of 1977 which had ‘Laila Majnu’ (1976), ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ and ‘Dharam Veer’ songs in the top three slots respectively. But nevertheless the music composed by Pancham for ‘Darling Darling’ and particularly the song “Aise Naa Mujhe Tum Dekho” is the top favorite of almost all FM channels on radio nowadays and it is frequently played on some other channels in between regularly.
Three songs out of the six songs from this movie have already been posted on the blog. The above mentioned song already posted with two other lesser heard but still enjoyable songs. However the title song ‘Darling Darling’ is yet to be posted :).
Today I am presenting the fourth song from this movie which again is a ‘drunkard’ song. And a ‘drunkard’ song performed by Dev Saab is the one I had always enjoyed. Today’s song is the first song appearing in the movie and it happens when Kumar (Dev Anand) takes his friend Debu (Mahmood) to introduce with his love and would be ‘bhaabhi’ Seema (Poonam aka Komal of ‘Jigri Dost’ (1969), ‘Sabak’ (1973) fame and later the wife of Shatrughan Sinha).
Debu is a ‘daily drinker’ and Kumar always lecture him on his drinking. Debu is reluctant to go with Kumar as he is already drunk and still continuing but Kumar insists and they go to the club. But when they reach the club Kumar finds Seema already in the baahon mein of Dheeraj (Dheeraj Kumar). When Kumar asks Seema to leave Dheeraj she replies back that now she is going to marry Dheeraj only as she is not that type of gharelu chhoolha phooking ladki and bahu that Kumar’s Daadi Maa (Durga Khote) is looking for.
Debu is already carrying the drinks in his hand and Kumar takes this ‘new guard’ and we have a ‘nice hummable song’ to listen to.
Enjoy the song!!!

हम्म मम्म मम्म
वो औरत है
ये है शराब
हुंह
इन दोनों में
कहिए जनाब
हुह
कौन अच्छा है
कौन झूठा है
कौन सच्चा है
कौन अच्छा है
वो औरत है
ये है शराब
इन दोनों में
कहिए जनाब
कौन अच्छा है
कौन झूठा है
कौन सच्चा है
कौन अच्छा है
वो आग लगानेवाली
ये प्यास बुझानेवाली
वो इक नज़र का धोखा
ये है नशे का झोंका
वो इक नज़र का धोखा
ये है नशे का झोंका
ओ हो ओ ओ हो ओ
वो पत्थर है
ये है गुलाब
इन दोनों में
कहिए जनाब
कौन अच्छा है
कौन झूठा है
कौन सच्चा है
कौन अच्छा है
उसने किया दीवाना
इसने किए मस्ताना
इल्ज़ाम है ये भी वो भी
बदनाम है ये भी वो भी
इल्ज़ाम है ये भी वो भी
बदनाम है ये भी वो भी
ओ हो ओ ओ हो ओ
वैसे तो हैं दोनों खराब
इन दोनों में
कहिए जनाब
कौन अच्छा है
कौन झूठा है
कौन सच्चा है
कौन अच्छा है
वो औरत है
ये है शराब
इन दोनों में
कहिए जनाब
कौन अच्छा है
कौन झूठा है
कौन सच्चा है
कौन अच्छा है
