(75 Years of Republic Of India #Desh Kee Mittee Kee Khushboo#)

The struggle for freedom war spearheaded by leaders using various media available to them at the time, viz stories, poems, dramas etc. When the new medium of movies became available, some movie makers in India used this medium for the cause of freedom struggle as well.

These films and their songs inspired people at that time and they continue to inspire subsequent generations of movie watchers and music lovers as well.

A very Happy 2025 to Atuldom

Normally, at the turn of the calendar, i.e. beginning of the New Year, people decide on the activities that they will undertake from Day 1 of the new year. These are generally categorised as New Year resolutions. These resolutions could be of giving up a bad-habit like smoking, flying off-the handle at slightest provocation, or looking after their health by taking up exercising or walks etc. People manage to be true to their resolutions for a few days, weeks or at the most a month. Very few manage to keep up the promise they have made to themselves for longer periods. As for myself, I have never made promises or resolutions so that I don’t feel let down (by myself).
But, there is always a thought at the back of my head that I should be more aggressive and send more posts to Atulji. I managed it to an extent in 2023 but the pace fell in 2024. I am not going to give reasons for my slackness, and most of my reasons are genuine (in my own thoughts).

# R.D. Burman’s Remembrance Anniversary #

Today 4th January 2025 is the 31th Remembrance Anniversary of the great music-director Rahul Dev Burman. He was born on 27th June 1939 and he passed away on 4th January 1994 at the age of just 54. We are paying our tributes to him by discussing a few of his compositions here on the blog.

In this post I am presenting a lesser heard song that could be a never heard song for many. I had not listened to this song till a few months back. This song is from the movie “Imaan-1974”.

During the earlier decades of Hindi movies, story of the movies tended to based in India. But in late 1950s, Hindi movies began a look east policy. We began to have Hindi movie action taking place in places like Singapore, Japan, Hongkong etc. We even began to have titles of movies like “Singapore”, “Love in Tokyo”, etc.

Hindi Songs in Bangla Films – 37
—————————————————

The last article which I wrote under this series, Hindi Songs in Bangla Films’ was on July 21, 2021. Some days back, Shri Arunkumar Deshmukh sent me a list of Bangla films with Hindi songs. On checking, I found that barring one song, all Hindi songs in the list were already covered under this series. In this article, I have taken up the only Hindi song from Bangla film, ‘Sandhya Deeper Sikha’ (1964) from the list which is not covered on the Blog.

Today’s song is from the eminently obscure film Sanskar-1958.

What is the meaning of ‘Sanskar’ in English ? There is no single exact word for it. You can roughly say” building Values”. Sanskar is an important part of Indian culture, irrespective of religion. For example, our sanskar is ‘to touch the feet of our elders’. It is prevalent in Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Boudhs, Jains etc.etc. in India. Those who are india’s original residents follow these customs, as Sanskars are not connected to any religion. These are the ways of life in India. These are handed down, rather taught from generations to next generations. Sanskars are always positive and a guide to a happier life.

Today’s song is from the film Mahapooja aka Shri Satyanarayan Katha-1954.

Shri Satyanarayan is not an avatar of Vishnu. It is a form of Maha Vishnu. The pooja is described in Skanda Puran, in which Lord Vishnu tells Narad how this puja will help the Human beings in times of stress in Kaliyug. The custom of following this Vrat and doing Satyanarayan pooja gained momentum in the period of the ‘Bhakti Movement’, which began from the 7th century in South India – Tamilnadu – and peaked all over the rest of India during the 15 th to 17 th century.

Today’s song is from the film Sakshi Gopal-1957.

Wednesday, 28th August 2024 was a very sad day for me. On this day, I learnt about the sad demise of Shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji from Surat. He was one of the most well known Hindi and Gujarati film Historians in India. He had a very large circle of admirers and friends all over India, but he hardly moved out of Surat, as far as I know.

“Jai Raadhe Krishna-1974” was directed by Yashwant Pethkar for ‘Shiv Shakti Films, Bombay’. This was a movie from ‘mythological genre’. It was produced by Gajanan P. Shirke and Pratap Singh. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 05.11.1974. Which means this movie is going to complete its ‘fifty years’ this year in the month of November.
Today we introduce this movie on the blog with its title song. This song also plays in the background as the titles of this movie appear on the screen. It is sung by Manna Dey.
