Today’s song is from the film Shiv Bhakta-1955.

This film was made by A.V.M, Madras in their Madras Studio. This is actually the story of Bhakta Kannappa, on whom AVM had made the original Bilingual film in Telugu and Kannada in 1954. This Hindi remake was made in 1955. According to folklore, Lord Shiv ji also blessed Kannappa to be reborn in Kaliyuga as one of his greatest devotees, as Kannappa and to be liberated from birth and rebirth.

78th Independence day – 15th August, 2024

The nation grows older by one more year on 15th August. And hopefully wiser too. Among the nations formed in 20th century, post world wars scenario, we have indeed come a long way, and hopefully shall grow, by leaps and bounds.

The cultural conflux and amalgamation, is what makes this country what it is, that the world looks up to us for the colourful heritiage, for the values of humanity, for intellectual and literary wealth.

Hullo Atuldom

Today is 4th August. We are celebrating/ remembering the maverick actor, singer, music director, producer, director of Hindi Films on his 95th birthday. I think he was first a singer who was coaxed into acting and eventually turned a producer/director of films. I think he composed songs only for films that he made. (I don’t mind if fans of his correct me 🙂 )
I am sure I need not spell specifically that I am talking of Kishore Kumar (Khandlawala).

Also, I need not mention that he was the brother of Ashok Kumar & Anup Kumar & Sati Devi who was the wife of Sashadhar Mukherjee (founder of Filmalaya Studios). It is common knowledge that all his four wives were actresses & his son Amit Kumar is also a singer/actor/ music composer.

#Singer Mohd Rafi’s Remembrance Day 31st July’2024#

In this post I am presenting a Rafi song from the movie ‘Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thhi’ (1970). This song is picturised on actor Jagdeep. Music lovers are well aware that there are many well-known songs sung by Rafi Sb for actor Jagdeep. Some prominent songs among them that I vividly remember are “Chali Chali Re Patang Meri Chali Re“, “Hum Panchhi Ek Daal Ke“, and “Paas Baithho Tabeeyat Bahal Jaayegi” and many others. In the later years i.e. from the year 1980 Rafi Sb lent his voice to actor Jagdeep in the movie ‘Phir Wohi Raat’ for the song “Aa Gaye Yaaro Jeene Ke Din” which I had presented on this blog earlier. There is long list of Rafi songs for Jagdeep and we will try to discuss the total list here in future posts on the blog.
