Hello everyone!
It has been SUCH a long time since my last post here that I’ve forgotten how to even write posts.
So this one will most probably be a short one, unlike my past marathon posts.
I say “most probably” because I might intend a short post, but once I start writing, my thoughts end up having a life of their own. I would be an editor’s worst nightmare. 😊
Anyway, let’s see how it goes.
Ok, so the main reason for this post is a sort of coincidence that I’m taking as a sign to make me write.

# Debutant Movie –Mandir Masjid-1977#

Today’s song is a wonderful sufi qawwaalee from the 1977 movie ‘Mandir Masjid’.
I was longing to share this song on the blog. I have listened to this song many times and liked this composition very much. The singers of this Qawwaalee song are Mohd Rafi, Manna Dey, Shankar-Shambhu, and Ram Kumar. I was under the impression that this song also has the voice of Jani Babu Qawwaal but Geet Kosh and other sources do not mention his name. As per information contained in Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980) the famous Qawwaalee duo Shankar-Shambhu had confirmed that this song was composed by them, though the music composer for this movie was Sharda. They had also informed that this song has the voice of Ram Kumar as well(I am not aware about him).

Today’s song is from the film Shahnaaz-1948.
This film was directed by a Comedian- Shaikh and the music was by Singer/Actress Amirbai Karnataki. The cast of the film was Begum Para, Altaf, Nihal, Shanta Patel, Gulnar, Shama Dulari, Basheer , Shaikh and others. Most of the cast, except Begum Para and Altaf, was from C grade action films.
One of the interesting riddles the new “Old Film” lovers chew with interest is, who was the first woman Music Director in Hindi films. Time and again it has been proven, told, written and accepted that Bibbo aka Isharat Sultana was the First woman M.D., but still it is raised every now and then and the debate continues unabated.

#Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1975-4)
——————————————————–
Today we add one more movie from the year 1975 which was so far missing on this blog. The title of the movie will give an idea of how times changed in the decade of the seventies, and the kind of movies that were being made. The movie seems to be an obscure movie of its time, and I could not find any video of the movie or its songs on the internet. This movie is ‘Playboy -1975’ alias ‘Rangeelaa Mastaanaa’. It was directed by T. Janakiram for ‘Mahes Movie International, Madras’. It had Roopesh Kumar, Rutu Kamal, Mohan Choti, Fariyal, Hiralal, H. Alam (new discovery), Pandeji, Udaylakshami, Hameed, Sheron, Yushiko, Indira and others.
