#the Decade of Eightees – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————

Yesterday (on 18th March 2023) evening, Peevesie’s Mom ji called me to tell me how once again I got a ‘song’ posted on the blog that she had on her mind. It happened when she herself was about to start writing her write-up having done lots of background research (e.g. watching the movie etc). No, she was not remonstrating with me, rather she wondered how the both of us thought on the same wavelegth including selecting the same song for the same occasion. This had happened not once but twice on recent days.

Among other things we discussed she gave me ‘heads-up’ for the coming birthday of the only ‘Medical Doctor’ in the ‘Atulites’ Group which was next day i.e. today (19 march 2023). She also suggested a song that she had in her mind.

When Peevesie’s Mom called me I was already doing my daily browsing of the blog and looking for the songs yet to be posted. So, while the discussion was still on I searched for songs having the word ‘Doctor’ in it and found a song which I was aware of but had forgotten it in recent years.

Till then I was not sure if I will be able to do a write-up and send it to Atul ji for today’s posting.

Thereafter I did a search for ‘doctors in Hindi movies’ on Google. The results were interesting and almost all searches gave me some common names of movies which had left their impact with their presentation about the ‘noble profession’ of Doctors and Nurses as well.

The list of movies included movies from the ‘golden period’ to newest films. For example the very recent movie which had a character of Doctor i.e. ‘Kabir Singh’.

There is a long list of articles that were thrown up as a result of my ‘search’.

I would also like to mention here the common movies which featured almost in every of the articles are ‘Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahaani’, ‘Anand’, ‘Khamoshi’, and ‘Ek Doctor Ki Maut’. Readers may be surprised for the omission of ‘Dil Ek Mandir’ or there might be many ‘titles’ which one may feel should have been a part of ‘every list’ or at least common in many lists.

The above names featured in the list because these movies try to give a ‘different perspective’ to the profession. Movies where the ‘noble profession’ was shown as ‘sacrificing’ and ‘noble’ too got excluded because they actually show how the ideal Doctors should be and how the society looked at the Doctors as a ‘demi-god’.

The discussion on this topic could be endlessand. One will also require to watch the movies having the portrayals of Doctor or even a smaller role of Doctor in the movie whether portrayed in good or bad light.

So, I thought why not to put this as a ‘point of discussion’ here, as which actor or actress has done justice to the role of a doctor ? Or Nurse? Or as a Compounder? Now a days we can add the front-desk executive etc etc 🙂 too.

If this question was posted to me whom I would have selected ?

My choices would be V. Shantaram, Rajendra Kumar, Balraj Sahni, as a ‘doctor’ in any case, and then Sanjeev Kumar, Ashok Kumar, Abhi Bhattacharya, and on the other side Smita Patil, Nutan, Rakhi, Waheeda Rehman, Mala Sinha, Hema Malini and Mehmood as a ‘compounder’ … etc.

Let our team members and readers also give their list of names in the comments on this article, as to who they liked very much as an ‘on-screen doctor/ nurse etc’ or even a particular role of an actor or actress in a movie as a doctor/nurse.

But, wait … I have one interesting ‘article for all us – movie buffs and for all Doctors too, who love movies’ …

This link featured in my ‘search’ and it is an interesting study published in ‘The National Medical Journal of India’ with the title ‘Changing portrayal of doctors in Bollywood films, 1940-2020: Is it time for introspection?’ (published on 29.01.2022).
In this study the article mentions ‘sixty-eight’ movies divided under two tables viz. TABLE -1-‘Thirty of the sixty-eight movies reviewed but not included in the analysis’ where we have movies like ‘Koshish-1972’ to ‘Dear Zindagi-2016’.

The second table i.e. TABLE-2 is for ‘Thirty-eight of 68 films that were both viewed and their plots reviewed’ has movies like ‘Dushman-1939’ to ‘Kabir Singh-2019’.

The above study gives an in-depth discussion of characters of the Doctors in the movies, the social relevance of the character in the movies, the ethical and non-ethical side of the profession shown in the movies, the ‘corruption’ angle in the profession and how the portrayal of Doctors have changed in the movies over these years as a whole. Also the ‘new ‘out of the way solutions’ sought for the treatment of the patient’ and other.

This article definitely is an interesting read and it urges for the ‘introspection’ in the profession vis-à-vis films and society today.

Earlier I had thought to give the list of movies mentioned in the article here, but then, I think there would still be many movies where readers would have liked the ‘doctor’s portrayals’ even if it was a very small role on screen. Like, I would like to mention the role of Sanjeev Kumar and Rakhi in ‘Kaala Patthar’ (it is there in the list), Shatrughan Sinha in ‘Aa Gale Lag Jaa’, Rajesh Khanna in ‘Phir Wahi Raat’, Satyen Kappu in ‘Kati Patang’ etc. The list can go on … Even I might be forgetting and missing many now…

So, I leave this topic here now for the readers to throw more light and share their findings here.

We come to the purpose of this post and that is to ‘Wish a Very Happy Birthday to our Dr. Pradeep Kumar Shetty ji’. We wish him a ‘healthy, prosperous, and peaceful, musical life’ ahead in the future.

For me, I had to visit a doctor just a day before yesterday for some viral infection after a long ‘tour’ of ‘two-weeks’ and travelling thereof. But other than the physical problems there were some ‘thoughtful observations’ too which I sometime wish to share to Doctors whom I visit. I wish they should give hearing to this part too and try to find answers to my questions ( 🙂 ). Even the ‘psychiatrists’ too should try to look beyond the problems and try to ‘read between the lines’ of patient that he tells them describing his problem or what he feels’.

But, our doctor is a ‘doctor of bones’. So I would like to ask him if he can find some way to treat the ‘emotional’ and ‘sentimental’ bones (if any) in people and if these can be cut out and added more to the ‘funny bones’ or ‘can the philosophical bones’ be removed from a body?

“doctor baabu
haal suno beemaaron kaa
likh do koi nuskha
ham pyaar ke maaron kaa aa”
(pyaar ke maare – also including as generous kind hearted person) 🙂

Now … the song under diuscussion… a lovely composition of Pancham Da penned by Anand Bakshi and sung by Asha Bhonsle.

On screen it is the ‘dream girl – Hema Malini’ performing it for Rajesh Khanna who is trying to get rid of her (Kaka in is inimitable style doing it as always) …

(I guess that the picturisation of this song was done in the near-by locations of our Doctor Saab’s home state?).

The movie is ‘Hum Dono-1984’. It was written, directed and edited by B.S. Glad.

Tony Glad was the producer of this movie.

Its cast includes Rajesh Khanna, Hema Malini, Reena Roy, Johny Walker, Jagdeep, Mukri, Mohan Choti, Keshto Mukherjee, Asit Sen, Shubha Khote, Birbal, Dinesh Hingoo, Pilu Wadia, Jugnu, Johny Whisky, Viju Khote, Ravindra Kapoor, Madhu Malini, Leena Das, Sujata, Iftekhar, Ram Mohan, Prem Kumar, Bhushan Tiwari, Dhruv Kumar, Shashi Kiran, Sudha Shivpuri, Shaktijeet, Roopesh Kumar, Om Shivpuri and others.

Premnath had a special appearance in this movie, while Shammi and D

This movie had five songs composed by R.D. Burman. Lyrics for all the five songs were penned by Anand Bakshi.

Let us enjoy the song now …

This movie ‘Hum Dono-1984’ is making its debut on the blog today for Doctor Babu and joins its ‘hum-naam’ ‘Ham Dono/Hum Dono-1961’ on the blog…

A QUEST FOR THE UNKNOWN !

Today’s song is a comedy song from the film Dr.Ramesh aka Dr.Romesh-1949.

Last year, at the beginning of the Rainy season, I had gone to our Farm House at Malavali (near Lonavala) with my family. It is a cool place for relaxation. While talking to the watchman of our house, we came to know about a natural and very scenic waterfall between Malavali and Lonavala. It was, I think, called ” Johnson’s Waterfall” – a name I had never heard in my life. In fact no one in the group had heard about it. I took the address from him and the next day we set out to visit this waterfall. The driver heard the directions and the GPS was set for that location accordingly. We proceeded as per the guidance of Google GPS. After a few kilometers, the road became very narrow. When we proceeded on it, after a Km or so, we found that a big board was put across the road, proclaiming that this road was now closed forever.

We were stunned. We got down. There were few farmers looking at us with pity. On enquiry, we came to know that the said waterfall has now been closed for the visitors. We were advised by the farmers to go back. Now, the road was so narrow that it was impossible to turn around the car. The only way was to go in reverse till a wider road was available. We were forced to do so and finally turned around the car after 2 kms of reverse travel. The disappointment was greater than the trouble we had to undergo. All our enthusiasm to see the hitherto unseen waterfall was washed away ! You can only imagine our sunken faces and drooping shoulders.

Why I am telling you about this case of disappointment here is because last week once again I experienced this same feeling of disappointment, in the case of the film Dr. Ramesh-1949. When Jaffer Bhai uploaded 4 songs of this film, I was wondering whether these songs were already discussed on the Blog. I immediately checked up the ‘ List of songs-Moviewise” on the blog and to my delight, I found that ” Dr. Ramesh” songs were not yet discussed here. I was very happy that I got a chance now to write about a ‘ Debuting ‘ film. To get further details about the film, I opened the HFGK and came to the page of this film.

This is when I remembered my trip to ‘ Johnson Waterfalls ‘ near Lonavala. The page of ‘ Dr. Ramesh was totally BLANK ! Only the name of the film and mukhadas of some songs were seen. Other than that there was no other information about the Director, Music Director, Lyricist or even the film’s cast. I was stunned. All my enthusiasm about writing on this film and its song withered away instantly. I had reached a Dead End !

Then I tried every arrow in my armour. I searched for this film on Google, all books, all known sites of film and songs. Perhaps some information would have been available if this film was made in Bombay, Poona, Kolhapur or even Madras. Unfortunately this film was made By Dev Darshan films in Calcutta. So no information was available. Finally and desperately, I wrote mails to Shri Hamraz ji and Harish Raghuwanshi ji. While Harish ji declared “No Information”, it was the prompt response of hamraz ji that he would give me ‘some’ information next day-it was already 10 pm in the night.

True to his words, next before 9 am, Hamraz ji’s mail came with ‘ some ‘ information. I am thankful to him that he replied so quickly to my query and gave whatever was available with him about this film. What he gave was this –
1. Director….Prakash Bakshi
2. Music Director….Kali pad Sen aka K.P.Sen
3. Lyricist…. Rangeen
4. Cast…. Naeem,Maya, Channi, Balqees, Haqumat, Pinaki, K.C.Verma and Kavish.

This was my last chance of getting information and he gave it to me, but I was no wiser. None of these names (except K.P.Sen with only his 4 films’ names known) I received were known to me and all these names were heard by me for the first time in my life ! Now my quest for information about these names started. Lo and Behold ! I came across the big disappointment once more. I could not get any information on any of these names anywhere on the Net or in any books.

You know this is the problem with Bengali films and artistes. Their information is not easily available in any other language, possibly except Bangla. This is because Bengalis, I feel, generally do not believe in the world outside Bengal. I understand they have a problem with the Hindi language. Even South film artistes too have the same problems. But then this is how we have missed out on the arts and talents of Bangla artistes and other experts.

Anyway, the gist of the matter is I have no information on the film, its director, MD, Lyricist or any of the Cast members. Now, what does one do when he has hit his head against a boulder ? What can I write in this post on this very good comedy song from this film ? Nothing ! The last straw on the Camel’s back was that the singer’s name is Dwijen Choudhary, about whom also I do not know anything !

This is the failed story of the ” Quest for a Film’s information “. Now let us forget it and enjoy this really very good song from the film Dr. Ramesh aka Dr.Romesh-1949.

The movie “Dr Ramesh”(1949) as well as the singer Dwijen Chawdhary make their debuts in the blog with this song.


Song-Compoundary bhi kitni museebat ka kaam hai(Dr Ramesh)(1949) Singer-Dwijen Chawdhury, Lyrics-Rangeen, MD-K P Sen

Lyrics

compoundary bhi kitni museebat ka kaam hai
compoundary bhi kitni museebat ka kaam hai
ho doctor na paas to jeena haraam hai
ho doctor na paas to jeena haraam hai
compoundary bhi kitni museebat ka kaam hai

dispensary mein ye jo dawaayen hain
is kadar
quonine soda iodine aur ye tincture
har roz inse main hi banaata hoon mixture
har roz inse main hi banaata hoon mixture
kaaghaz ki is ?? ke likh deta hai doctor
har kaam main karoon
magar doctor ka naam hai
compoundary bhi kitni museebat ka kaam hai

aate hain ghoorte huye ae ae ae ae
aate hain ghoorte huye mujhko mareez sab
jaise sabhi ke dard aur dukh ka main hoon sabab
inko na kuchh lihaaj kisi ka na hai adab
inko na kuchh lihaaj kisi ka na hai adab
aur inke is salook pe dil keh raha hai ab
dispensary ko door se mera salaam hai
compoundary bhi kitni museebat ka kaam hai

khaali hai pet
khaali hai pet paas rasad hai na maal hai
dispensary mei ab mera rehna muhaal hai
khaali hai pet paas rasad hai na maal hai
dispensary mei ab mera rehna muhaal hai
aate hain jo mareez to unka ye haal hai
aate hain jo mareez to unka ye haal hai
paisa koi nikaal ke de kya majaal hai
roti ka koi jikar na shaam(?) hai
compoundary bhi kitni museebat ka kaam hai
compoundary bhi kitni museebat ka kaam hai
