In this short write-up, I present the last song, ‘aaya hoon gharbaar chhod main ban ne filmi star’ to be covered on the Blog from an obscure film, ‘Bahke Kadam’ (1971). The song is written by Dharmesh Dutt which is set to music by Usha Khanna. The film was produced and directed by Dharmesh Dutt who also acted in the film and wrote the songs. The cast included Agha, Aprajita, Dharmesh Dutt, Madan Puri, Jagirdar, Sundar, Mridula, Sulochana, Kanu Roy etc. This appears to be the only film of Dharmesh Dutt as a producer, director, actor and song writer. The VCD/DVD of the film is not available on any video sharing platform.
The song under discussion is rendered by Mohammed Rafi. Since video clip of the song is not available, I can only make a guess based on the lyrics that the song may have been picturised on Agha. Two features of this song are that in the last stanza, suddenly the mukhda part of the song, ‘dil dekhe dekho’ gets incorporated. Incidentally, the old song was also rendered by Mohammed Rafi and set to music by Usha Khanna.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————
The song in this post is from an unreleased movie ‘Rani Chandravati-1960s’. One song from this movie has been presented on the blog earlier by our Shree Sudhir jee.
Not much information about this movie is available in Geet Kosh Vol-IV (1961-1970) where this movie is mentioned under the section of Un-Released movies. Geet Kosh lists six songs leaving space for the possibility that more songs might have been recorded for this movie. The singer’s names for all the six songs have been mentioned. And they include Suman Kalyanpur and Subir Sen; with Suman Kalyanpur having three solos and one solo by Subir Sen. Music for this movie was composed by S.N. Tripathi. Out of the six songs in the movie two have been identified as penned by lyricist B.D. Mishra.

Hrishikesh Mukherjee has been known to make the family-oriented and ‘slice of the life’ types of films such as ‘Anuradha. (1960), ‘Anupama’ (1966), ‘Aashirwaad’ (1968), ‘Satyakam’ (1969), ‘Anand’ (1970), ‘Guddi’ (1971) and many more. When the film, ‘Sabse Bada Sukh’ (1972) was announced to be produced and directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, it became a topic of discussion in the film magazines at that time because it was a sex comedy which was a departure from the usual theme of his films. It was a low budget film probably because Hrishikesh Mukherjee was taking a risk of experimenting with a story which was out of his comfort zone. The cast included Vijay Arora, Faiyyaz, Robi Ghosh, Naarghita, Rajnibala, Utpal Dutt, Asrani, Keshto Mukherjee, Tarun Ghosh, Meena Rai etc.

In this post I am presenting a song from the 1948 movie ‘Aap Beeti’. Geet Kosh spells this movie as ‘Aap Biti’ and that may also be the case for the Censor Certificate of this movie. I do not remember if I have ever heard any song from this movie earlier. Two songs from this movie are available on this blog.
‘Aap Beeti-1948’ was directed by Kumar for ‘Kumar Studios Limited, Bombay’. It had Khursheed, Kumar, E. Bilimoria, Agha, Leela Mishra, Pramila, Mehndi Raza, Agha Peer Jaan, Hameed, Shabnam, Girdhari, Chandrakala, Hainak, Afroz Bano and Indira Acharya and others. This movie has nine songs which were composed to music by Hari Bhai.

As it is, Blog century is a regular and recurring destination for the blog. after we arrive at a blog century, we do not take a pause rather keep continuing to cover more and more songs in the blog and before we realise, we are staring at the next blog century.
This has taught me a lesson that When you do not worry about the destination then you reach your destination almost painlessly and unnoticeably.When one thinks about it, one realises that we have had as many as 196 blog centuries already and now we are only blog century number 197, viz blog song post number 19700.
This blog century has been reached in 26 days, which appears quite a good pace for the blog at present. We cannot compare this rate from the last decade when we were clocking centuries in 16 days but then we were one decade younger at that time and we had far more energy.

Today’s song is from an absolutely obscure film – Maldar-1951.
I called it an absolutely obscure film, because except what is given in the HFGK, no other information on this film is available anywhere – neither in any books nor anywhere on the Internet. Even the film booklet is not available (either not printed for cost saving or less number printed to economise). It just came and went.
It was a Debut film for Amit Mitra – Director, Satish Bhatia – Music Director, Usha Bhatia – Playback singer, Roshan Joshi – Playback singer and Pran – Lyricist. Since we do not know the credits for other departments, we are unaware of that part.
The cast of the film was Balraj Sahni, Smriti Biswas, Chhabi Biswas, Neelima and others. The 8 songs of this film, composed by Satish Bhatia were quite nice but not good enough to compete, stand out or remain in memory compared to the other songs of the Golden Era of Film Music. 1951 had offered much more melodious songs by well known composers.
