Hullo Atuldom

This is not planned as a “Blog Ten Year Challenge” post. It has just happened to be one.

Actually, I was humming a song most of yesterday, visited the blog to check if it had been posted yet and found a song from the same film had been posted exactly 10 years ago. I went a step further and found that there were 3 posts on “this date, that year”. Two of the three posts were by Sudhir ji; one post being his down-memory-lane of the Mumbai- Gangout that had a few Atulites meet in December of 2014. The post by Sudhir ji for the song “Boribunder Se Borivali Dekh Li Maine Gali Gali” was much more than a report of the gangout & the visit to Arunkumar Deshmukh ji’s residence by Atulites. It was also a nostalgia trip for readers who know of the various localities that he has mentioned in the post. I particularly like the (now invisible Atulite) Khyati Ben’s comment to the post. That post had Sudhir ji, talking of how he had stayed across the road from Arunkumarji’s residence, back in the late 1980s; but they were unaware of each other’s existence then, prompting (another invisible Atulite) Raja ji’s comment of how the post could well be the story of a Manmohan Desai film.

Today’s song is the last song from the film Lajawab-1950. With this song the film will be YIPPEED !

The year 1950 was the end of the second decade of the Talkie film. It has been just about 3 years since we got our Independence. The film industry seemed to stabilise after the upheaval caused by the mass migration of Muslim artists and technicians from India to their new Utopia – Pakistan. The second line of ‘ waiting in the Q’ artists had taken over without much trouble. The 20 year old ‘ Studio System’ was breaking up and Freelancing was the code now. The cost of film production, from a mere 30 to 40000 rupees in the early 30’s has now escalated to 5 to 6 lakhs per film. This was also due to the ever increasing star costs from 3-4 thousand per film to almost 50-60 thousand per film for ‘A’ grade actors. The Black money in the market was now freely used in the film industry.

Today’s song is from the film Bandish-1955.

The film was directed by Satyen Bose and the music was by Hemant Kumar, with his assistant Ravi Shankar Sharma- or simply Ravi. This was Ravi’s last film as an assistant to Hemant Kumar. He was simultaneously giving music to film Vachan -1955, as an independent Music Director. His career grew successfully but he never forgot the help Hemant Kumar gave to him in his early years of film music. Till Hemant Kumar was connected with Hindi films, Ravi used him for songs in his films, wherever it was suitable. Hemant Kumar’s last Hindi film came in 1979 (Love in Canada) and Ravi lasted till 2000 (Ek alag Mausam).

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
———————————————————————
# Lata Mangeshkar- 3rd Remembrance Anniversary #
——————————————————————–

Today 6th February’2025 is the fourth ‘Remembrance Day’ of the legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar. She was born on 28th September’1929 and passed away on 6th February’2022 at the age on ninety-two.

Today we pay our tributes to this ‘timeless voice’ here on the blog. Why I say ‘timeless voice’ because this voice is a part of our life and it cannot be separated from our life. Four generations of Indians have grown up listening to this voice. It appeared to us that the owner of this voice would remain in our midst for ever. So what if she is no longer with us, her voice and her name will stay immortal.

‘Kaabli Khan’ (1963) was produced and directed by K Amarnath under his banner, K Amarnath Productions. The cast included Ajit, Helen, Jayant, Ulhas, Samson, Salim Khan, Indira Bansal, Mukri, W M Khan, Amrit Rana etc. The film belonged to costume drama genre. This was the first film for Helen as a lead actress. Incidentally, it was also in K Amarnath’s film in which Helen got her first opportunity of solo dance performance. Another interesting thing about this film is that for the first time, Salim Khan and Helen have worked together though they did not have any dialogues between them. In this film, Salim Khan had a role of a prince. Except for a couple of dialogues, he was mostly seen as a prisoner and hence his exposure in the film was limited.
