#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————
Today’s song is from the movie ‘Bandish-1969’. It is a nice song lyrics wise as well as composition wise. However this song has been forgotten, which might be for various reasons viz. the movie not doing well or the movie itself getting forgotten and so few music lovers getting to listen to this song.
I had presented a song from this movie earlier, where I had mentioned that I was not aware of this song till 2018 when I presented a write-up on Singer Jaspal Singh on 02.04.2018.
This movie “Bandish-1969” was directed by Charandas Shokh for ‘J.J. Films, Bombay’. It had Sonia Sahni, Shailendra, Azra, Ulhas, Brahmachari, Shyam Kumar, Sarita Devi, S.K. Prem, Mirza Musharraf, Uma Dhawan, Sushma, Kundan, Dhanraj, Habib, Madhumati, Manmohan and others. This movie has six songs composed to music by Usha Khanna. Akmal Hyderabadi is the lyricist of the songs in this movie.

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-52)
—————————–
Today we remember Ramchandra Narayandut Dwivedi whom we fondly admire and respect as Kavi Pradeep or ‘Rashtra Kavi Pradeep’ on his 28th Remembrance Day. He was born on 6th February, 1915 and he passed away on 11th December, 1998 leaving behind a great body of work, including poetry and songs in his voice. Many of the songs penned by him and sung by him have now become immortal heritage of our country. Today we pay our tributes to Kavi Pradeep on his Remembrance Day.On this occasion I am presenting a song written by him for the movie ‘Dashehraa-1956’.

‘Kasauti’ (1974) was produced and directed by Arbind Sen under the banner of Lalit Kala Mandir. The cast included Hema Malini and Amitabh Bachchan in lead roles supported by Pran, Sonia Sahni, Vijay Sharma, Ramesh Deo, Sulcohana, Bipin Gupta, Satyen Kappu, Sapru, Murad, Mohan Choti, Bharat Bhushan, Viju Khote, Janakidas, Mac Mohan etc. This was Amitabh Bachchan’s first film with Hema Malini in a leading role.
Producer-director Aravind Sen picked up Amitabh Bachchan after watching his role in ‘Saat Hindustani’ (1969) and Reshma Aur Shera’ (1971). During the making of the film, Amitabh Bachchan’s two films, ‘Bansi Birju’ (1972) and ‘Ek Nazar’ (1972) were released which flopped on the box office. The distributor who financed ‘Kasauti’ (1974), got panicky and withheld further release of funds for shooting. Aravind Sen was still confident about the success of his next release film, ‘Bandhe Haathh’ (1972) which also flopped. During this period, Aravind Sen suffered a heart attack which led to further delay in completing the film. Fortunately for him, Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Zanjeer’ (1973) and ‘Namak Haraam’ (1973) became super hit films and the shooting of the film was resumed. The film was released on August 9, 1974.

Mukesh and his Composers – 39
Coming to the next part of this series, I take up a solo song by Mukesh from the film Parmatma released in 1978. It was directed by Chand and had Shatrughan Sinha, Rekha, Pradeep Kumar, Aruna Irani, Ranjeet, Dev Kumar, Jagdish Raj, Chand Usmani, Helen and others in the cast. The music was by K. Babuji and lyrics by Indeevar.
Again, not much information is available on the music director K. Babuji. It appears Mukesh has sung only one song for him.

Hullo Atuldom
There have been a few incidents in recent times that highlight the Unpredictable Nature of life. There are ‘n’-number of whatsapp forwards that bring this to our notice.
The first one I received said this
“Life is so unpredictable..
You go for a vacation, and terrorists shoot you.
You go to a trophy parade and it ends in a stampede.
You go in a flight for work/vacation, and it crashes.
You are studying in your hostel, and the plane falls on you.”
Some one added
“You go on a honeymoon and are murdered “

Today’s song is a devotional cum philosophical song from the movie ‘Bhakta Dhrvu-1957’. I never came across this song earlier and I have no recollections of having listened to it yet this song seems to be familiar to me. The composition by Basant Prakash is very nice and Asha Bhonsle has sung this song so well that listening to it becomes a divine experience.
