There were some Hindi films which either flopped or just made it to be the average performers at the box office after they had theatrical release. But over the years, they have attained the status of cult classics. The films in my minds are, Chetan Anand’s ‘Neecha Nagar’ (1946) for pioneering the parallel cinema, Raj Kapoor’s ‘Jaagte Raho’ (1956) for its social commentary, Guru Dutt’s ‘Kaagaz Ke Phool’ (1959) for its cinematic style, Dev Anand’s ‘Guide’ (1965) for its progressive themes, Raj Kapoor’s ‘Mera Naam Joker’ (1970) for its philosophical depth and ‘Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron’ (1983) for raising a couple of serious issues facing the country in a satirical way. The list is not exhaustive. I also feel that I should add ‘Shakti’ (1982) in this list for the powerful performances of Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan as father and son, respectively who are in the opposite side of the law.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –20

This post today brings us to the 900th song of Mukesh on the blog. This is a significant milestone, considering that the total songs of by Mukesh are just about one thousand. As we get closer to that number, the songs are becoming harder to trace.

Today, 22 July is legendary singer Mukesh’s birthday. (22 July 1923 – 27 August 1976)

And this is his 900th song on the blog.  As such, it is a very special post. 

There is a possibility that this could be his last century on the blog and that he is unlikely to reach the magical 4-digit tally. However, I shall leave no stone unturned to disprove myself. Long ago, I had even made a mental note and earmarked a unique song to post as his 1000th song on the blog, if we could manage to do so. However, it was covered by one of the editors. Can anyone guess that unique song ?

Hullo to all in Atuldom

Saw a portion of “Padikkadhavan” (Tamil 1985), a few days back. The portion had Sivaji Ganesan (Rajasekhar), the presiding judge for a case, realising that the accused Raja (Rajnikanth) & Ramu (Vijay Babu) are his long-lost brothers. He then proceeds to feign a heart attack & adjourns the court. After researching all night, he returns as a defence lawyer to save Raja and successfully proves that Chakravarthy (Jaishankar) is the one who murdered his own brother. A fight ensues between Chakravarthy and Raja, where Raja defeats Chakravarthy. In the end, Radha (Rajasekhar’s wife) apologises for her old attitude with Raja and Ramu.

#The Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #

In this post I am presenting a song from the 1970 movie ‘Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’.

“Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi-1970” was produced for ‘Vasu Films’, Madras, by Vasu Menon. It was directed by V. Madhusudana Rao. It had Sanjay Khan, Leena Chandavarkar, Jagdeep, Anupama, Manmohan Krishna, Sundar, N. S. Bedi, Sharma, Pratima Devi, Bilkis, Shamim, Lalita Pawar, Shashikala, Om Prakash, Madhumati, Jayshree T. As per information available the story of this movie was written by Barampuram Kollady. Its’ dialogues were written by Rajinder Krishan who also penned down the lyrics for the seven songs in this movie. Music of this film was composed by R.D. Burman. The playback singers for this movie are Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey, Mohd Rafi, and Usha Mangeshkar. I guess that this movie was not a successful movie of its time and hence its’ songs remain as lesser-known songs and they were also forgotten easily.
