A few weeks back while going through Deepti Naval’s filmography on her Website, I found the mention of one of her films, ‘Anant’. I have never heard of this film. I did not find the mention of this film on any regular film/song-based websites, like IMDb, myswar.in etc. Fortunately, a video clip of the film was available on one of the video sharing platforms which was uploaded by the producer of the film. I watched the film in one sitting and liked it immensely.

Anant (1999) was a tele film which was produced by Project Smita Society and Voluntary Health Association of India and was directed by Raman Kumar. The cast included Deepti Naval, Kanwaljeet Singh, Seema Biswas, Satyadev Dube, Bhakti, Javed Khan, Nanda and Avtar Gill. The story of the film was written by Alok Mukhopadhyay mainly to create an awareness about AIDS/HIV+ . Vinta Nanda wrote the screenplay and dialogues. The film was premiered on Star TV on December 1, 1999, on World Aids Day. Later, it was dubbed in nine languages for being telecast on the regional TV channels. The film was produced in mainstream cinema format with the focus on creating the awareness of AIDs for the people at large. The film is of 70 minutes’ duration.

There are some people, who are in our lives, not related to us by blood, but are a very important part of our daily lives. Whom we meet every day, they come and wish us in the morning, they serve us, do a job for us to make our life easier. Yet some form an affinity, a well-wishing, non-interfering, loyal, non-judgmental, they are a friend of the family. Your children, your neighbor’s family, your acquaintances, your relatives, family members in far off and nearby places, your colleagues, your business associates, or whomever you come in regular contact with, associate that person as your so and so.

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’.
