(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-47)
—————————–

In our journey of bringing Kavi Pradeep songs on this blog today we add one more song penned by him. This song is from the movie ‘Veer Bhimsen-1964’. This movie was produced & directed by Chandrakant for Joy Films, Bombay. The video of this movie available on internet has the date of passing of Censor Board as 19.12.1974 which must be its date of renewal of the certificate. From it we can guess that the movie was initially passed by Censor Board on 19.12.1964 for its first run. One more movie with this same title was later released in 1985 (passed by Censor Board on 24.04.195). Kavi Pradeep was the lyricist for both the movies.

Rafi Sahab’s Legendary Associations – 15

Back in 2021, I had started this ambitious series for posts to highlight the significant associations in Rafi Sahab’s career. I knew that very few and far between, songs of the major influencers on Rafi Sahab’s singing, were remaining to be posted in the blog, even in 2021.

Most of these stalwarts were old timers, like Naushad, S. D. Burman, Shankar-Jaikishan, Chitragupt, Ravi and C. Ramchandra etc. A few of them of them were more contemporary, like R. D. Burman and Laxmikant-Pyarelal, who were with him. They were the latest beneficiaries of Rafi magic, who were ‘faizyafta” till the end, in 1980. Both started in 1966-67 and continued. Even Kalyanji-Anandji was composing songs for Rafi sahab till the end of 70’s. Madan Mohan and Ravi did it throughout his career and till “Laila Majnu” in 1976, and was the only one who started in 50’s and ended and 70’s, apart from Naushad.

Today’s song is from a Religious film- Sant Tukaram-1965.

The period 1961 to 1980 is called the “Golden period” of Indian Cinema, because the way films were made was very close to people’s sentiments, aspirations and lifestyles. Such Closeness never came again. The Indian film industry gave a tough fight to Hollywood in techniques and made meaningful films which the world appreciated. By this time, the Indians migrating to foreign countries increased manifolds and they helped spread the popularity of Indian Cinema.

This was the period when colour film making increased manifolds, but the spread was very slow. In 1960 only 3 colour films were made and in 1961 only 7 films. The number crossed the 10’s mark only in 1965.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
—————————————————————————

Today 24th October 2025 is the fourteenth remembrance day of the legendary singer Manna Dey ( Real name Prabodh Chandra Dey). He was born on 01.05.1919 and he passed away on 24.10.2013.

Music lovers here are already aware about him and much has already been written about his greatness and versatility as a singer, so I am not going to repeat it all here again. But I would definitely like to mention here that I am a big fan of his singing and I have always enjoyed and cherished listening to the songs sung by Manna Dey, whichever genre they are from – classical, semi-classical, sugam sangeet or qawwaalees etc. He has also sung many songs which fall under the category of philosophical songs and ‘songs with a message’.

Today I am presenting one such rare song here. This song is a rare song because it is from an un-released movie of the seventies. I don’t know how many of us have listened to this song. I came across this song around two-three years back and I had mentioned this while presenting another song from this same un-released movie here on the blog earlier.

In this post I am presenting a song from the 1966 Bhojpuri movie ‘Loha Singh (Bhojpuri)’.

Regulars on the blog would wonder on my new found love for Bhojpuri songs. Yes, I am enjoying listening to the songs of yesteryear Bhojpuri films that were made from sixties to eighties. ( I like a song from the recent years too, but we will have to wait for that 🙂 ).

Geet Kosh Vol-IV (1961-1970) mentions that the movie ‘Loha Singh-1966’ was directed by Kundan Kumar for Vikramsheel Arts. The cast of this movie had Sujit Kumar, Vijaya Chaudhary, R.S. Kashyap, Sujata, Tiwari, Sheel Kumar, Helen and others.
