Today’s song is from the film Aahuti-1950.

This unknown film was made by Sansar Movietone, Bombay. Produced by L.Shankar, it was directed by Kulbhushan. The story, screenplay and the dialogues were by a team of H.C.Jaiswal, G.Saran and L.Shankar. The music for the 12 songs of the film was given by D.C.Dutt. There is not much information available about D.C.Dutta, not even what the initials D.C. stand for.

All of us know that Lata Mangeshkar had to struggle very hard in her initial attempts to get into Playback singing in Hindi films. In her early struggle, 3 Duttas helped her. The first was of course Datta Davjekar who gave her the first opportunity to sing a Playback song for his film Aapki sewa mein-1947. The second was K.Datta or Datta Korgaonkar, who, after his favourite singer Noorjehan left India, took Lata under his wings and gave her songs. The third Dutta was this-D.C.Dutt. No information is available about him whatsoever, except what is printed in HFGK and its duplication in Pankaj Raag’s book “Dhunon ki Yatra”. Thanks to this, we know that his debut was through the film Sona Chandi-1946. Out of 12 songs of the film, only two were his and one of them was by Lata Mangeshkar.

Today 8th September 2025 is the 92nd birthday of of legendary singer Asha Bhonsle(born on 08.09.1933). On this occasion I sharing a few songs sung by Asha Bhonsle.

Asha Bhonsle a living legend needs no introductions on a blog which deals with Hindi Film Songs and NFS. There is nothing new left for me to add as far as her biography is concerned.

The song under discussion here is from an un-released movie ‘Do Dost-1960’.

Regulars who notice the day and post number of our posts may have noticed that today is day number 5901 for the blog. It means yesterday the blog completed 5900 day of its existence.

Regulars who noticed yesterday’s day number may have also noticed that yesterday’s post number was 18497. In the past, when I pursued “records” more keenly, I would have posted the century post 18500 on the blog day 5900. But with time, you stop giving too much importance to these landmarks.

Today’s song is the last and final song of the film Hatimtai-1956.

I have a very funny memory about this film’s name, Hatim Tai. During my school days, when I first got the book “Stories of Hatim Tai”, from my school Library for reading, I thought these were the stories of the elder sister of someone called Hatim. I thought so because in marathi, ” TAI” means ‘Didi’ or elder sister. However, once i started readingthe book, I realised that I was wrong and Hatimtai was the name of the Hero of the stories. For many years thereafter, I kept on wondering about this misleading name. Finally, in another book I got the answer to my curiosity.

The name Neeraj means one that is born of water. The singular reference is towards the lotus flower. In Hindi, ‘नीरज’ is a synonym for the lotus flower.  And so is Gopaldas Saxena ‘Neeraj’ – a lotus amongst the poets and songwriters whose verses have graced the screens of Hindi Cinema.

Missing Films of 1960s – 107
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

The film that is being introduced today is ‘Lav Kush’ from 1967. It was a time when mythological and religious films were still a draw – a draw enough for producers to continue producing this genre of films. It was a crop of artists, producers and financiers who held sway in the decades from the early years of Indian cinema, till maybe 1980s. Beyond that, once that crop withered away – passing away, retiring, or just plain fatigue, this genre of films has seen only a downward slide.
