Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.61
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years ago (viz on 3 April 2013), six songs from six different movies, plus one non movie song, were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
7809 Ramaiyya bin neend na aawe Badi Bahu (1951) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
7810 Rut hai suhaani Thhes (1949) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now

One song from the first BTYC eligible movie of the day has already been covered earlier in the day.

The second unYIPPEED movie eligible for BTYC today is “Tyaag”(1976).

“Tyaag”(1976) had five songs in it. Three songs have been covered so far.

Here is the fourth song from the movie. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Anand Bakshi is the lyricist. Music is composed by S D Burman.

The song is picturised as a cabarat dance song on Bindu. Prem Chopra, Rajesh Khanna, Amrit Patel and many others are also seen in the picturisation.

Lyrics of the song and other details were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Hullo Atuldom

Anand Bakshi …. a poet & lyricist who was nominated for the Filmfare Best Lyricist award 40 times that resulted in 4 wins. Poetry writing was a hobby for him in his younger days which became an occasional activity after he joined the Indian Navy due to paucity of time. He came to Bombay to try his luck at writing songs and singing for films. He got his first break in a Bhagwan Dada starrer in 1958; from then he kept getting to write songs every year.

Anand Bakshi was the go-to lyricist for Rajesh Khanna starrers beginning with “Aradhana” in 1969 following it up with a bagful of (mostly) hit films like ‘Aan Milo Sajna’, ‘Roti’, ‘Raja Rani’, ‘Aashiq Hoon Baharon Ka’, ‘Chhailla babu’, ‘Anurodh’, ‘Aakraman’ and all those movies which I have not mentioned but die-hard Rajesh Khanna- Anand Bakshi fans will know, for sure!

His wish to try singing got fulfilled when he sang for ‘Mom Ki Gudiya’ in 1972. The other films for which he sang were ‘Sholay’ (1975), ‘Charas’ (1976), ‘Balika Badhu’ (1976), ‘Mahachor’ (1976); and the blog has all the songs Anand Bakshi ever sang in Hindi Films. His career began with Nisaar Bazmi compositions for ‘Bhala Aadmi’ (1958) and the last movie with songs written by him came in 2008 which had music by Ismail Darbar – ‘Mehbooba’. Interesting trivia to note is that there were two “Mehbooba”/s in his career – the 1976 MR Productions ‘Mehbooba’ (another Rajesh Khanna film) being the more easily remembered one.
“Bhala Aadmi” (1958) had 10 songs of which 5 were written by Anand Bakshi (the blog has two of these). “Mehbooba” (2008) had 10 songs and it is yet to come on the blog.

As I write this, I recall an anecdote that Pyarelal Sharma of the Laxmi-Pyare duo, loves to relate. It seems they were having sittings for finalizing the songs of ‘Aan Milo Sajna’ and Bakshi Saab (as Pyarelalji addresses him) was unable to come up with words for a tune. Giving up (for the time being) Bakshi saab stood up and said -‘achha to hum chalte hain’; to which Laxmikant asked- ‘phir kab miloge?’ Pat came the reply- ‘jab tum kahoge’. And that was the start to the evergreen song of ‘Aan Milo Sajna’. Pyarelalji further said that Bakshi saab instantly sat down and completed the song. I have seen a video on a news channel’s Sunday entertainment program- ‘Total Recall’ where music composers who had worked with Bakshisaab have related how well meaning songs, bhajans etc which the common man could also sing along & relate to were written by the lyricist, rather easily. His relatable songs may have been the reason for his long career and popularity.

I am (as usual) spoilt for choice for a song to go with this post. I could settle for a popular song from a Rajesh Khanna film, or look up if songs from “Bhala Aadmi” are available – uploaded for use here or bring up a song from any movie that has a few of its songs on the blog. Or finally, bring up a new movie hitherto unrepresented on the blog. I think we should have a song from a movie which has a few of its songs on the blog. But choosing a song in this criteria is also not easy because even that is a long list.

Finally, the song that I have chosen is from the 1976 released “Mahachor”. It had music by R D Burman. Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle & Anand Bakshi were the payback singers used. The following songs from the film are there on the blog

Song Date of post in the blog
Main tumse pyaar karti hoon 29 December 2011
Meethhi meethhi ankhiyon se man bhar de 18 July 2016
Hindu hoon main na musalmaan hoon 30 March 2021
Sun Banto baat meri 19 July 2022

Today’s will be the penultimate song from a film that had Rajesh Khanna, Neetu Singh, Prem Chopra, Kamini Kaushal, Aruna Irani, Anwar Hussain, Manmohan, Krishan Dhawan, Manorama in its cast. This was a film from the time when stories featuring kings, queens, princes, princesses, (corrupt) dewans, senapatis etc. were still being made. The prince or the princess will be separated from the royal family and the film will then wind its way through trying to locate the missing heir with the dewans & senapatis trying their best to use the situation to their benefit. I can give a long list of films with this storyline in films post 1975. These costume dramas had a charm of their own and actors readily agreed to don sequinned gowns, gladiator-style leather suits, funny looking Jodhpurs etc.
We are having this song by the deadly foursome (all of who have left us their legacy) Anand Bakshi, R D Burman, Kishore Kumar and Rajesh Khanna today to remember the lyricist who left us this date 22 years ago.

————————————————————————————–

Hullo Atuldom

I must thank our Atulite, Prakashchandraji, for idea about the movie to accompany this post.

Here are the songs that were posted on the blog on 29/12/2012:-

Song Movie (Year) Contributor Time of post

Kis ki sadaayen mujhko bulaayen Red Rose(1980) (Lyrics by Prakashchandraji) 9:10 pm
Shakti de maa Ashaanti(1982) (Lyrics by Avinashji) 9:40 pm

29/12/2012 was a Saturday. As can be seen from the above list Atulji posted the first song at 7.38 in the morning. 12 songs were posted, 6 of which were guest posts from which 4 were by Sudhirji (he was also very active on the blog then) and one each by Nahmji & Arunkumarji.

The last three posts on that date had lyrics contributed by Avinashji, Prakashchandraji and Khyatiji; all three of which were songs featuring Rajesh Khanna for his birthday. It was the first birthdate after Kaka’s death in July that year; we were remembering him on what would have been his 70th birthday.

The song that was contributed by Avinashji was from “Ashanti” an Eagle Film’s production. Hatt jaao deewaane aaye was a song from the 1960 release “Singapore” which was also an Eagle Films’ production that was directed by Shakti Samanta. (that must have been unplanned, I am sure).

“Ashanti” (1982), a movie produced by Parvesh Mehra & Rajiv Mehra of Eagle Film’s and directed by Umesh Mehra. It had music by R.D. Burman with Anand Bakshi as the lyricist. Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Amit Kumar, Shailendra Singh were the playback singers used. The following three songs from this movie are on the blog.

Shakti de maa 29 december 2012
Laungi mirchi main Kolhapur ki 19 November 2019
Na tujhse na mujhse 29 December 2021

“Ashanti” was one of the multi-starrers of that year. It had Rajesh Khanna heading a cast of Shabana Azmi, Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi, Mithun Chakravarthy, Kanwaljeet, Amrish Puri, Satyen Kappu, Jeevan Ramesh Deo, Nadira, Pinchoo kapoor, Narendranath, Monty Nath, and many more known faces that formed the supporting cast. It was an action film and was the story of an honest & dedicated police officer played by Rajesh Khanna who intercepts a bank robbery but is himself caught with the suitcase of stolen money, tried in the court and jailed. Further twists in the tale lead him to loosing a leg too. On his release from prison he seeks out the wrong doers and for this he has help from the three heroines and Shankar Dada played by Mithun. If my memory is correct, one of the heroines is also the lost daughter of Amrish Puri who is the cause of all the troubles of the police officer. The movie comes to a close after a lot of drama and high voltage action.

Today’s song has the voices of Asha Bhonsle and Amit Kumar. The song is picturised as a disco dance song on Zeenat Aman and Kanwaljeet. Rajesh Khanna is present among the audience. He is seen seated around a table with Shabana Azmi and he is seen looking furtively as befits a police officer on an important sectet mission.

Missing Kaka a.k.a Rajesh (first Superstar of Bollywood) Khanna on what would have been his 80th birthday.

Rajesh Khanna’s birth anniversary – A tribute

Today 29th December’2022 is the eightieth birth anniversary (29 December 1942 – 18 July 2012) of Rajesh Khanna, born as Jatin Khanna. Had he been alive, he would have turned eighty today.

On this occasion for today I could not complete my earlier planned post for this day under my series ‘ Rajesh Khanna – The Phenomenon’. However, since I do not want to miss to contribute for today’s occasion, I am presenting a song from a Rajesh Khanna movie so as to pay our tributes to Rajesh Khanna today.

I will also not repeat what I have earlier written about Kaka and his movies on the blog.

When I was looking for a song for today, I first thought that I will present a song with Pancham-Kaka-Majrooh combination. Later, I check for a Pancham-Kaka-Anand Bakshi combination and lastly, I thought I would present a song from a recent movie (i.e., from the eighties) of Rajesh Khanna. Finally, I decided that I will select a movie from the year ‘1985’ only, a year in which maximum movies of Rajesh Khanna were released.

And when I check the songs of this movie ‘Insaaf Main Karoonga-1985’ and went through its’ songs I found a song sung by Bappi Lahiri for Kaka. In this movie he has given his voice for two songs to Kaka. How did I forget all this? Even I do not remember if I had watched this movie then?

But one thing I remember that this movie was not a successful movie then, though ‘Wikipedia’ mentions it ‘a golden jubilee hit movie’ (?) now.

“Insaaf Main Karoongaa-1985” was directed by Shibu Mitra for ‘Seth Films International’.
It was produced by B.S. Sethi.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 10.05.1985.

The star cast of ‘Insaaf Main Karoongaa’ included Rajesh Khanna, Tina Munim, Padmini Kolhapure, Shakti Kapoor, Om Shivpuri, Joy Mukherjee, Tez Sapru, Leena Das, Aruna Irani, Chandrashekhar, Uttam Sodhi, Bob Christo and others.

This movie had six songs written by Verma Malik and Anjaan three songs each.

Here is the list of songs contained in this movie:-.

SNo. Song Title Lyricist Singer/s
01 Ye kya huaa….aap ki nazron se dil pe goli chalne lagi (part 1) Anjaan Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle
02 Ho ho ho… dum taana dum taana bole rabaab Verma Malik Shabbir Kumar, Manhar, Chandrani Mukherjee
03 Ek baras mein ek baar hi aati hai ye raat yaaron Verma Malik Bappi Lahiri
04 Salma o Salma main hoon Salma Verma Malik Sharon Prabhakar
05 Honey… kuchh maangu to dena Anjaan Asha Bhonsle, Bappi Lahiri
06 Ye kya huaa….aap ki nazron se dil pe goli chalne lagi (part 2) Anjaan Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle

Today’s song is sung by Bappi Lahiri as mentioned above. Lyrics are by Verma Malik, and music is composed by Bappi Lahiri himself.
(Readers will also note something special each time Bappi Da sings ‘ek’ in his style 😊 ).

On screen it is Rajesh Khanna performing on the song in his inimitable style. Also seen in the picturisation of this song are Tina Munim, Om Shivpuri (whose intentions does not look good 😊 ) Tez Sapru and many others.

This song is nice party song and I guess it is a ‘new year celebration party’ in the movie.

Anyway, we do also have a reason to celebrate- for Rajesh Khanna today – for his style and charisma and the memories of his movies with us. Secondly, we have only three days of ‘2022’ now, so let us cheer and celebrate 😊

Listening to this song may remind of some other song of same tune but I am not able to put a finger to the original song.

With this song this movie “Insaaf Main Karoongaa-1985” makes its debut on the blog.

Yesteryears actress Zeenat Aman (born on 19th November’1951) turns 71 years of age today on 19th November 2022.

For people like me who have grown up in the seventies, Zeenat Aman was one of the leading actresses in the movies produced during these years and in early eighties too.

Today I am not going into the details of her filmography or mentioning here the many of her movies which I like most or which I remember most.

(Yes, ‘Roti Kapada Aur Makaan-1974’, will always remain as my top favorite though)

To present a song on Zeenat Aman’s birthday today I was looking for a solo female song, and so I skipped launching of a movie from the ‘seventies’ which I am longing to introduce on the blog since long ( because that movie does not have a Zeenat Aman solo song in that) 🙂 .

Today’s song is from the ‘1982 movie ‘Jaanwar’.

There have been movies with this title ‘Jaanwar’ in 1965, 1982, 1999 and even in 2007 too. Today we get introduced to the ‘Jaanwar’ movie of ‘1982’.

It was directed by Ali Raza for ‘P.M. Pictures, Bombay’. This movie was produced by Pradyuman Mohla. It had Rajesh Khanna, Zeenat Aman, Pran, Yogeeta Bali, Prem Chopra, Pradeep Kumar, Nirupa Roy, Kamal Kapoor, Om Shivpuri, Beena, Rajan Haksar, Amar, Murad, Sundar, Mohan Choti, Meena T., Tom Alter, Madhup Sharma, Kanchan Bhatt and others.

This movie was passed by Censor Board 20.12.1982.

This movie has six songs written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

As mentioned above today we are going to listen to a solo song sung by Lata Mangeshkar and performed on screen by the beautiful Zeenat Aman. This song is a seduction song where Zeenat Aman wishes to come closer to Rajesh Khanna who is hesitating for the reasons unknown to us (or to me, as I have not watched this movie) 🙂

So far as I can remember I think this movie was not a successful movie of its time. Though, ‘Wikipedia’ mentions it a ‘hit’ movie. Also I do not remember to have heard the songs of these movies frequently. They all seem to be lesser heard songs.

Today’s song is a sweet melodious song to listen and enjoy.

Lyrics are by Majrooh Sultanpuri and music is composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

Let us wish Zeenat Aman a very happy birthday and a healthy and peaceful enjoyable life ahead …

(with today’s song ‘Jaanwar-1982’ joins ‘Jaanwar-1965’ on the blog 🙂 )

This date ten years ago (viz 20 July 2012) saw nine songs from nine different movies getting covered in the blog. So, instead of resting on the laurels (as previous day was fourth birthday of the blog), we posted songs with renewed enthusiasm on this day. 🙂

Here are the details:-

“Shehzaada”(1972) is one of the three eligible movies flog Blog Ten Year Challenge today.

“Shehzaada”(1972) was produced by Surinder Kapoor and directed by K Shankar for Amar Chhaaya Productions, Bombay.

Hullo Atuldom

19th July- our blog turns an year older. I have been writing for the occasion for a few years now. (Think the habit set-in in 2015 or 2016). But I seem to have missed writing a post in 2021. Here is my post from 2020. Whatever I have said in that post still holds true for me.

I am still thankful that I discovered the blog and thankful that Atulji gave us this platform where novices like me have a place to post our thoughts. Thankful that Atulsongaday gave me a new set of HFM loving friends who have a wealth of information which has enriched us. There are some among the regulars who I have met a few times and some whom I have never met – Atulji included. Let us hope we have a grand party where all Atulites and Satulites congregate. As Rajaji has said in the comments to my post (on 19th July 2020), and I quote “We all might have got onto this journey at different stations but it has been a wonderful journey, with lots of memories and shared experiences.”

In my post on 19th July 2020 I had mentioned my blog journey but I simply love what Sudhirji has written in his post dated 19th July 2012. And I quote “I suggest to Atul ji, to put up a Statutory Warning on the home page – that the new visitors be aware that this website is intensely habit forming – enter at your own risk. 🙂 🙂 ”

This blogsite is indeed very addictive.

The following are Atulji’s thoughts on his post of 19th July 2020

“Once again, I thank one and all on the occasion of the birthday of the blog. Let us hope and wish that this musical bandwagon will keep rolling on and on for many more years.”

To which I say ‘Tathastu’ or ‘Ameen’ or ‘So Be It’

May we have many more birthdays of our favourite blog and may we find many more gems.
I am not attempting a blog-ten-year-challenge. Just out of curiosity I visited the post of 19th July 2012 and these are the songs posted on that date.

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Poster YIPPEE status
6265 Allah megh de paani de Palkon Ki Chhaaon Mein(1977) Atul Ji YIPPEED
6266 Chupke se dil de de nahin te shor mach jaayegaa Maryada(1971) Atul Ji YIPPEED
6267 Aa bhi jaa meri duniya mein Daaera(1953) Raja ji YIPPEED
6268 Ye kaafilaa hai pyaar ka chalta hi jaayegaa Lekh(1949) Sudhir ji Not YIPPEED
6269 Duniya mein rehna hai to kaam karo pyaare Haathi Mere Saathi (1971) Atul Ji YIPPEED

As can been seen five songs were posted of which only one movie is yet to be yyiippeeeed, and I have no clue as to the availability of the songs of that particular movie viz. “Lekh” (1949). But three of the songs posted that day featured the much-loved Rajesh Khanna. He had just said ‘goodbye’ to this mortal world on 18th. Gosh!!! unbelievable, it is already ten years!!! As Rajesh Khanna has mouthed in one of his songs-

“waqt chalta hi rehta hai rukta nahin
ek pal mein ye aage nikal jaata hai”

Even though he has said in another song “Yahaan kal kya ho kisne jaana”.

Let us have a song from a Rajesh Khanna movie today and recall his lovely smile, expressive eyes and dancing style.

Currently I am on a short vacation, along the Western Sea Coast of this lovely country of ours. Soaking in the sea and the rains, much like the date in 2014 when the 10000th song was being awaited by the followers. I also seem to be making a habit of taking a break from routine around this time of the year.

I tried looking up for a Rajesh Khanna song that is filmed on a beach, Goa specifically. Could only recall the iconic song from “ANAND”. The other song which features Rajesh Khanna as a fisherman has been posted. Hence I am settling for the following. (Rajesh Khanna fans on the blog will definitely think up of more Kaka songs on the beaches and seashore)

The song is from the 1976 release “Mahaachor” which had music by RD Burman and Anand Bakshi was the lyricist. The playback singers used were Asha Bhonsle-Lata Mangeshkar-Kishore Kumar. There was a very Punjabi-flavoured song which had Rajesh Khanna in disguise. He looks lean & handsome and Neetu Singh looks charming as the ‘roothhi biwi’. The couple seem to be running from the cops and suddenly leave the vehicle to break into the song. That song has Anand Bakshi giving his voice for Rajesh Khanna (I think it is a first) and Asha Bhonsle sings for Neetu.

Happy Birthday to Atulsongaday.me

Rajesh Khanna – The Phenomenon – 11
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –- – –

Today 18th July 2022 is the ‘tenth remembrance’ anniversary of the only ‘Superstar’ of Indian cinema ‘Rajesh Khanna’.

He was born on 29th December’1942 and he passed away on 18th July’2012.

I was supposed to send a detailed post with a song from Rajesh Khanna movies of ‘1983’. However in this ‘episode’ I am presenting a song from a Rajesh Khanna movie of 1984, as we move further to Rajesh Khanna filmography year wise from the last post.

I will come back to my earlier planned posts in this series later in future posts.

The year ‘1984’ saw as many as nine Kaka movies released during it. The list of these nine movies is as given below.

SNo Movie Title Director Passed by Censor Board
01 Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar Dasari Narayana Rao 21.01.1984
02 Aashaa Jyoti Dasari Narayana Rao 16.04.1984
03 Aawaaz Shakti Samanta 27.10.1984
04 Dharam Aur Qaanoon Joshi 03.08.1984
05 Durgaa *(a very special appearance) Shibu Mitra 07.04.1984
06 Hum Dono B.S. Glaad 21.12.1984
07 Maqsad K. Bapaiah 30.04.1984
08 Naya Kadam K. Raghvendra Rao 15.09.1984
09 Paapi Pet Ka Sawaal Hai Sohanlal Kanwar 19.04.1984

I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Asha Jyoti’.

“Aashaa Jyoti” was directed by Dasari Narayana Rao for ‘Keycey Films International, Madras’. It was produced by Kowayi Chezhiyan.

It had Rajesh Khanna, Rekha, Reena Roy, Madan Puri, Asrani, Om Shivpuri, Deena Pathak, Asha Lata, Roohi, Smriti Wariyar, Roopesh Kumar, Madhukar and others.

Story and screenplay of this movie was written by Dasari Narayana Rao. Dialogues of this movie were written by Raj Baldevraj.

Editing of this movie was done by B Krishna Raju.

‘Asha Jyoti’ or ‘Aashaa Jyoti’ had five songs in it.

All these five songs in this movie were written by Anjaan and music was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

I had watched this movie in the year of its released. I remember I had liked this movie very much. This movie was a remake of Telugu movie ‘Srivari Muchatlu (1981).
The story of this movie has been discussed with the song ‘aayi pehli milan ki wo raat’, which was posted on the blog on 10.10.2019 presented by Peevesie’s Mom ji.
Interested reader can read about the story of this movie in this post.

I liked this movie because the role that Rajesh Khanna played suited him and the role had many shades of ‘emotions’ which was Kaka’s forte. The role also suited his characteristic mannerisms which he excelled in.

The movie had good music too which was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

However, the movie was not much successful at box-office, though its reviews were all good.

I had earlier shared a song ‘neele ambar ke do naina’ which I like very much. Today’s song is another song from this movie which I like. It is picturised on Rajesh Khanna and Reena Roy.

“Asha Jyoti” was released in 1984. So that is almost thirty-eight years back.
If we go back ten years further to the year ‘1974’ that is around forty-eight years back from now. Following movies of Rajesh Khanna were released in that year i.e., ‘1974’.

(Rajesh Khanna movies – 1974)

04 Prem Nagar K.S. Prakash Rao 15.05.1974
05 Roti Manmohan Desai 11.10.1974

Let us now come back to today’s song which is sung by Kishore Kumar and Anuradha Paudwal. Rajesh Khanna and Reena Roy lip-sync the song.

Lyrics are penned by Anjaan. Music is composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

Let us enjoy today’s song and pay our tributes to Rajesh Khanna.

Rajesh Khanna – The Phenomenon – 10
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Welcome all to this post which again is coming after a ‘long gap’ in this series. Well, I hope to conclude this series too at the earliest possible 🙂 .

In this tenth episode of ‘Rajesh Khanna – the Phenomenon’ we look at Rajesh Khanna movies in the year 1983. This was the year of Rajesh Khanna. He was back on the top with a bang. I don’t know if I should say this that he was reinstated as the ‘King of Bollywood’ once again.

The successes of the movies ‘Avtaar’, ‘Sautan’, and to an extent of the movie ‘Agar Tum Naa Hote’ brought Kaka back into the limelight again. Another movie ‘Nishaan’ starring Kaka which was also released during this year 1983 also performed well at the box-office. Though he had delivered some versatile performances and kept doing different roles during the period 1975 to 1978 he was still far away from that level of success which he had tasted before.

He finally got a big boost in 1983 after his continued good performances, critically acclaimed performances and some commercially hit performances in the previous years i.e. from 1979 to 1982. Hit movies like ‘Amardeep’ (1979), ’Thodisi Bewafaai’ (1980); critically acclaimed movies like ‘Red Rose’ (1980), ‘Phir Wohi Raat’ (1980); successful movies like ‘Bandish’ in 1980; and then multi-starrer hits like ‘Qudrat’ in 1981, and ‘Raajput’, ‘Ashaanti’, and ‘Dharam Kaanta’ in 1982 had finally paid off. With two back-to-back hits – ‘Avtaar’ and ‘Sautan’, where Kaka was the main lead and a semi-hit like ‘Agar Tum Naa Hote’, brought a new life to Kaka’s filmi career or his ‘second innings’ as it is generally said.

In the year 1983 the following five movies of Rajesh Khanna were released. Although the movie ‘Baabu’ was passed by Censor Board in 1983, I remember it was released in theaters in 1985. Knowledgeable readers can throw more light on this.

Sl. No. Movie Title Director Censor Date
01 Agar Tum Na Hote Lekh Tandon 27.10.1983
02 Avtaar Mohan Kumar 27.01.1983
03 Baabu^ A.C. Trilokchander 01.11.1983
04 Nishaan Surendra Mohan 06.01.1983
05 Sautan Sawan Kumar 24.05.1983

Today I present a song from the movie ‘Avtaar’. And since this year 1983 was a special year for Kaka, I would like to present more posts covering songs from this year. Let us see how it works.

‘Avtaar’ made its debut on the blog on 27.08.2012 with this song “Ho Ooperwaale Tera Jawaab Nahin” and I would like to quote below what Atul ji had written about this movie of Rajesh Khanna.

“Avtaar” (1983) was a movie of Rajesh Khanna during the second innings of his acting career when he was no longer a superstar. The movies in which Rajesh Khanna acted during this phase won critical acclaim though even if Rajesh Khanna came nowhere close to regaining his lost crown.

 

‘Avtaar’ was produced and directed by Mohan Kumar for his home productions Emkay Enterprises. It had Rajesh Khanna, Shabana Azmi, Sachin, AK Hangal, Sujit Kumar, Rajni Sharma, Madhu Malini, Yunus Parvez, Shashi Puri, Gulshan Grover, Pichoo Kapoor, Ranjan Grewal, Preeti Sapru and others. Madan Puri had a guest appearance in this movie.

Story of this movie was written by Mohan Kumar and Mushtaq Jalili. Screenplay of this movies was written by Mohan Kumar and dialogues were written by Mushtaq Jalili. Editing of this movie was done by Pratap Bhatt. It was passed by Censor Board on 27.01.1983. HFGK Vol-VI (1981-1985) mentions in the foot note of this movie page that this film was re-certified with English sub-titles by Censor Board on 06.05.1983.

The movie has five songs (including one two-part song) penned by Anand Bakshi and composed to music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. So far two songs from this movie have been posted on the blog. This is the third song from this movie to be posted on the blog.

Today’s song is sung by Suresh Wadkar, Alka Yagnik, and Mahendra Kapoor. This song is picturized on Shashi Puri-Preeti Sapru, Gulshan Grover-Rajni Sharma. Both couples are lip syncing the voices of Suresh Wadkar and Alka Yagnik. Mahendra Kapoor’s voice is used for background score where we can see Rajesh Khanna working hard in his own garage and preparing himself for a greater challenge.

In the movie this song happens when Rajesh Khanna and Shabana Azmi have left their home as their sons have betrayed them. Sachin (Sewak) accompanies them and arranges a temporary shelter for them. Not only this, after listening the conversation between his master and bibi ji he understands what his master needs. He then donates his blood and from the money for the blood, he buys aujaar (tools) for his master so that he can start his own garage. Rajesh Khanna has an uphill task from here to turn the fortunes while his sons are enjoying with their friends. That is where this song takes place, and we have some meaningful lyrics to listen.

That was all around forty years back now.

And if we go back fifty years i.e. to the year 1973 we have the following movies of Rajesh Khanna released in that year.

Blog Day :

5092 Post No. : 17021

Today 27th June, 2022 is the eighty-third birth anniversary of Rahul Dev Burman. On our blog we already have few posts coming on this occasion. However, I was looking for a song written by Majrooh Sultanpuri who had a long association with RD Burman. Also, I wish that I should share a song sung by Kishore Kumar because the songs I shared for today didn’t have any Kishore Kumar songs.

So, here I am presenting a song from the 1980 movie ‘Aanchal’. And incidentally this happens to be a song picturized on Rajesh Khanna. I think this is a ‘bonus’ song for today’s celebration.

‘Aanchal’ was directed by Anil Ganguly for Bemisal Films Pvt Ltd. It was produced by Prem Lalwani and Mohan Lalwani. It had Rajesh Khanna, Rakhee Gulzar, Rekha, Prem Chopra, and Amol Palekar, with Leela Mishra, Shammi, Dinesh Hingoo, Ranjana Sachdev, Birbal, Sarita Devi, Asit Sen, Swapan Guha, Amol Sen, Deepak, Master Ravi, Lekha Chauhan, Master Sandeep, Suresh Desai, Saukat Bharti, Jankidas, Rajkishore, Viju Khote, and others. Abhi Bhattacharya had a friendly appearance in this movie.

Story of this movie was written by Tara Shankar Bandopadhya, and dialogues were written by Ehsan Rizvi. Screenplay of this movie was written by Sachin Bhowmick. Editing of this movie was done by Waman Bhonsle and Gurudutt Shirali. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 18.09.1980.

This movie has six songs. Lyrics for the songs in this movie are written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and music is composed by RD Burman. Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, and Swapan Chakravarty had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

One song from this movie “Paise Ka Kaajal Daike Na Lo Hamri Jaan has already been discussed on the blog on 18.07.2018. This post was presented by our beloved Raja Saab and here is a brief about this movie he had mentioned in his write-up.

The film stars Kaka, Rekha, Raakhee, Amol Palekar and Prem Chopra. It’s a village-based story, where Kaka and Amol Palekar are brothers, with Raakhee married to Amol Palekar. Since Kaka is her husband’s younger brother, Raakhee treats him with great affection. Kaka too has highest regard for his bhabhi. Prem Chopra, who has a score to settle with Amol Palekar, plays mischief, creating misunderstanding in his mind about the relationship between Raakhee and Kaka. Also, doing the same to Rekha, who is in love with Kaka.

To be honest, the film picks up only in the second half – the first half is rather slow. But maybe it is a build-up to show the relationships between the characters. I was rather keen for the film to get on with the plot.

We will be discussing the details about the other songs in this movie in the future posts on the blog. Regarding the songs from this movie, I think “Bas Meri Jaan Bas. . . Maan Le Meri Baat”, “Paise Ka Kaajal Daike Na Lo Hamri Jaan“, and “Bhor Bhaye Panchhi” were well known songs from this movie. Though the overall musical score is good and other songs from this movie also needs to be listened, like the song today.

Today’s song is sung by Kishore Kumar and on screen it is Rajesh Khanna performing on this song with other artistes also seen in the picturization of this song. As mentioned above lyrics are by Majrooh Sultanpuri and music is composed by RD Burman.

Let us listen to and enjoy the today’s song now …

phir bhi hamara yaar chalta to hai
sir nahin dum se hilta to hai
o kaisa dole re kaisa lehraaye

saathi na yaar koi
jhagda na pyaar koi
raahi akela chalaa jaaye re ae ae

saathi na yaar koi
jhagda na pyaar koi
raahi akela chalaa jaaye re ae ae
raahi akela chalaa jaaye re ae ae

ae lo
ham ghode se gir gaye
hi hi
