Regulars on this blog are aware that I am big fan of ‘Qawwaalee songs’ from Hindi films as well as non-film qawwaalees. However I have so far presented ‘qawwaalees’ from Hindi films only on this blog.

Today’s song is a qawwali from the film Bade Bhaiya-1951.

The film was made by Super Pictures. produced and directed by the Banner owner- Aspy Irani, who was the husband of actress Husn Banu, daughter of yesteryear actress Shareefa. Aspy Irani was Aspindiar Hormusji Irani, an expert famous for handling Action films and C grade movies. From 1936 to 1986 he directed 55 films. Some of his known films were Johnny Walker’s Naya Paisa, Qaidi No. 911, Shabnam, Baadal etc. One day he left his home for work on 23-11-1986 and simply disappeared into thin air ! Rigorous searching by the Bombay Police did not succeed and he was declared a “missing person” forever !

In this post I am presenting a ‘Qawwalee’ song which is one of my ‘favorite genres’ of songs. So when browsing HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970) I noted that there is a ‘Qawwalee’ in the list of songs from this movie ‘Badmaash-1969’, I immediately checked for its link and it was already available on internet. This movie ‘Badmaash-1969’ made its debut on the blog on 23.05.2018 when our respected Shri Sudhir jee presented its song ‘uthhaa palkein milaa nazren’ on the blog. This movie was then a ‘missing movie’ for the blog.

(Lyricist – Naqsh Lyallpuri-2)

Today’s song is from the ‘1964’ movie ‘Sarfarosh’. It is a ‘Qawwali Song’ which is my favorite genre of songs. For me listening to ‘Qawwali’ is always exciting and highly enjoyable as they generally have ‘high quality poetry’ in them along with the singing and the music accompanying it.

“Sarfarosh-1964” was a ‘costume drama’ movie directed by Dharam Kumar for ‘United Movies Art, Bombay’. It had Jairaj, Nishi, Jeevan, Jagirdar, Shery, Maruti, Pratima Devi and others. This movie has six songs which were all written by Naqsh Lyallpuri. Music for this movie was composed by S. Mohinder. Asha Bhonsle, Suman Kalyanpur, and Mohd Rafi had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

Title of this post suggests that the song with this post is a ‘Qawwali’ song. It is not a popular or block-buster qawwali, but a lesser known and lesser heard song which you can sometimes get to listen to on Vividh Bharati (AIR). This song is from the ‘1978’ movie ‘Daada’. It was mentioned by me earlier while presenting another song from this movie that I have vague memories of watching this movie with my parents and younger brothers. I didn’t remember this movie much except for a few of its songs.

Hullo Atuldom

Before beginning this post, I googled to check out movies starring Sunil Dutt that has music by Laxmikant- Pyarelal. The reason for this search was to remember Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar (of the L-P duo) who passed away on 25th May 1998 & Sunil Dutt who left this mortal world on the same date in 2005. Like on previous occasions, the first result from Google was the 1967 hit ‘Milan’. Of course that is a movie that has long been YYIIPPEEEEd on the blog.
A hunt through the films starring Sunil Dutt helped me dig out a film that released in 1980.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Baghdad Ki Raaten’ (1962).

The film is labelled as ‘kalpanik‘, (काल्पनिक) meaning based on an imaginary story. I would have loved to meet the writer of this story, who had such fantastic imagination, but the film mentioned that the story was by the ‘Story Department ‘ of the banner/studio. That explains ! It is not possible to imagine such stories by one single person. The Arabian Night stories were supposed to be told by Scheherazade-wife of the King Shehriar of Persia- to her husband at the rate of one story a night for continuously 1001 nights, to avoid her death. I am sure even she would gladly embrace death after hearing the ‘Arabian Stories’ made by the imaginative story departments of Indian films ! In this one department, we easily defeat the rest of the world’s filmmakers !!
