Today I present to you another rare and beautiful song “Raaz Ki Ek Baat Hai” again sung by the inimitable Asha Tai. This song is written by Yogesh Gaud and composed by Rahul Dev Burman.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Anarbala-1961’. This movie seems to be an obscure movie of its time. However the songs of this movie that are available are great songs. This observation has often been made by our members that these so called B or C grade movies had some great music in them. These movies may have become obscure, but their music deserve better fate

‘Anarbala-1961’ is one such movie. The movie appears to be lost, but some of its songs have survived and have become available online.

‘Jumbish’ (1986) was produced and directed by a newcomer, Salahuddin Parvez who also wrote the story, screenplay, dialogues and lyrics for the film. Surprisingly, he had no connection with the film industry. He was an Urdu poet and writer having published 13 books of his poems and 3 novels. In this film, Akbar Khan and Padmini Kolhapure acted in lead roles.

I have already covered the story of the film in details in one of my earlier articles on the film, the link of which is here. The theme of the story is that since time immemorial, there has always been the tug of war between divines and devils in the world, the former wanting the peace and prosperity on an enduring basis and the latter worked to sabotage the same. This tug of war will go on in future also. But on every occasion, it is the peace-loving people who will be the ultimate winner.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————

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 by Usha Khanna. Akmal Hyderabadi is the lyricist of the songs in this movie.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 78

The camaraderie and apnapan amongst the Atulites (as we contributors of song posts like to call ourselves) really makes me feel at home. It can be a simple thing as a Good Morning or Good Evening messages or even Birthday Wishes on the WhatsApp group or someone posting articles on old movies, songs or even the performers, or even a healthy discussion on any topic except religion and politics, one really feels comfortable and wanted. The group members also suggest songs for posting on the blog. Like this time I have received (upon my request) three rare/rarely heard songs of Asha Bhosle for my current series from a very knowledgeable and experienced friend, Raja Swaminathan Ji. I will be posting his suggestions one at a time.

I would like to Thank Raja Ji for suggesting these songs. So Raja Ji, this one is for you!!!

The first song which I am presenting is a rare/rarely heard song of Asha Bhosle “Babu Babu Dil Pe Nahi Kabu” from “Do Aankhein” (1974), written by Verma Malik and composed by Hansraj Behl.

Today’s song is the last and final song from the film Ratnavali-1945.

The film was made by Amar Pictures, Bombay, owned by Chimanlal Desai, who was the owner of Sagar Movietone earlier. The films made by this company were generally directed by Virendra Desai, his son. The life story of Virendra Desai was very bad. While he was at the peak of his career, with a wife and 2 children, he fell in love with his Heroine – Nalini Jaywant, who was 15 years younger to him. After completing the film Adab Arz-1943, both of them eloped to Calcutta and got married there.
