Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 29
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

This post may likely be the most peculiar one of this series. Here we see a song, or more accurately a song snippet, reused in a most peculiar manner.

The film is ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’ from 1963. Recently, I chanced upon this song snippet, which is part of a song from another film. I have seen this film maybe once or twice earlier, but did not register or remember this song snippet being present in the film. A friend recently brought this to my attention, and I thought of writing this post.

The cast includes Sanjeev Kumar, Snehlata, Nadira, Asit Sen, Prithvi Raj Kapoor, Tarun Bose, Manmohan Krishna, Sapru, Laxmi Chhaya, Aruna Irani, Bela Bose, Mohan Sherry, Kanu Roy etc. This was BR Ishara’s debut film as a full-fledged director. After coming to Mumbai, it took him almost 2 decades to direct his first film. But it was not that he had run away from his village to Mumbai to make a career in films. It was, what he called the ‘torturous nature’ of his uncle which drove him to Mumbai where he was prepared to grab any work including domestic servant and waiter for sustenance.

According to some surveys, about 90 percent of the Indian marriages are still the outcome of arranged alliances. While the parents/elders are involved in the process of the selection of alliances, the ultimate decision are supposed to be left to boys/girls. But in reality, in most cases, under the pressure from the parents/elders, the boys/girls will not go against the selection of alliance by their parents/elders.  In such cases, some newly married couples may soon realize that they are not in love with their spouses after the marriage for variety of reasons. But they continue to live together as the divorce is not a pleasant option. In some cases, over a period of time, a feeling of mutual care and trust set in the married couples.  This is broadly the main theme of the film ‘Dam Laga Ke Haisha’ (2015).

As per Hindu mythology, the Sun god is travelling in the sky on a chariot pulled by seven horses. After pulling the chariot for a long time, the six horses are tired. It is the seventh horse who remains and continues to pull the chariot signifying it to be the horse of dreams and aspirations for the future. In 1952, Dr Dharamvir Bharati published his novella, ‘Suraj Ka Saatvan Ghoda’. I read the novella in full which is available online. The novella is written in narration style in which the protagonist, Manik Mulla narrates to his three friends, three separate romance stories relating to three girls. What is of interest is that Manik Mulla is not only the narrator of the stories, but he is also the characters in all the three stories who loves these three girls at different points of time in his life. As Agyeya said in his foreword to the novella, ‘Suraj Ka Saatvan Ghoda’ is not the one story comprising three stories, but three stories constituting one story. The author, in his introduction, has revealed that during his early period of writing, he was influenced by Marxist objectives rather than hardcore Marxism. In this novella, some indications of that objectives can be inferred.  The full novella in Hindi can be read here.

Hullo Atuldom

4th August is very important for lovers of Hindi film music. It is the birth anniversary of Kishore Kumar who was fondly addressed as Kishore da. His birth name was Abhas Kumar Ganguly. He was the youngest among his siblings Kumud Lal Ganguly a.k.a. Ashok Kumar and Kalyan Kumar Ganguly a.k.a Anoop Kumar, being the older brothers. His sister was married to Shashadhar Mukherjee, co-founder of Filmistan Studio and later Filmalaya Studio. Kishore da’s wives (he had married four times) were Ruma Ghosh, Madhubala, Yogeeta Bali and Leena Chandavarkar who were all actresses. His son Amit Kumar is also a singer, actor & composer. As the saying goes “like father like son” or “walking in his father’s footsteps”. All this I am mentioning to show that Kishore Da was part of a family that has been in the entertainment industry from the 1930s (when Ashok Kumar began his career in the industry.)

Hullo Atuldom

This post of mine is one of those where I love to combine two celebrities/artistes. The two, who are the central to today’s post, have a sizable amount of work to show for their long innings in the film industry. There are a lot of songs of the actress yet to be posted as also around 1574 out of 4846 of the singer. After a lot of rummaging I found something that is appropriate for today.

Mukesh and his Composers – 28

‘Kal Subah’ was an unreleased film which was in the making during the 70’s. It was also probably the film’s composer Binay Bhushan’s first and last film. The director was GS Madhup and the production house belonged to Shringaar Films. I could not fetch details about the actors in the unreleased film. I request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie.
