One thing that we can depend upon for with Gulzar, is the most imaginative use of simple words that combine to make unusual arrangements, and still carry a very deep and pleasing meaning. A meaning that will always resonate in the mind, creating emotions of satisfaction, no matter whether the thread of feelings in the words is happy or sad. I have always been a great fan of Gulzar Sb’s poetry, the eminently simple verses that he creates to so lucidly express in such a few words, the emotions that one would be searching for words to make sense.

I have been an admirer of Gulzar’s films ever since I saw his film ‘Parichay’ (1972). I have seen all of his films released till 1982 and thereafter I have watched most of his subsequent films either on TV or on VCDs/DVDs. His films may not be a box office bonanza for film distributors but his ‘middle of the road’ films revolving around the intricate human relationship are a treat to watch for an audience of the good films.

“Nazrana” (1948) was an unreleased movie and hardly any information was available about this movie online. Not any longer. Our own beloved inhouse encyclopaedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh now has some invaluable information about this movie. Here is what he has to say about this movie:

Here is a song about which very little is known. This song is sung by Rafi and it is mentioned by a few YT uploaders that this song is from an unreleased movie of 1940s called “Nazrana”. Apparently C Ramchandra composed the music for this song.

I discovered this song just a few minutes back and am completely bowled over by it. It is from an unreleased film called Bharosa, starring Rajesh Khanna and Zaheera. The music is by R D Burman and the lyrics by Gulzar.

This day, 50 years ago, the nation woke up to some somber and dreadful headlines. The war on the Himalayan border had intensified, with fresh attacks by China, on the Indian border outposts, after a lull of about 3 weeks. A border dispute between the two countries had reached a flash point with China attacking India, in a planned and concentrated manner in the very early hours of 20th October, 1962. In what is termed as the Himalyan Blunder on the part of the political and military leadership of India, within a matter of 4 days, we had lost large tracts of territory on both the eastern sectors (NEFA, now known as Arunachal Pradesh) and the western sectors (Askai Chin). After gaining a very important strategic and psychological upper hand, China announced a unilateral cease fire and there was a lull in fighting for a period of three weeks.

I am aware of the film ‘Siskiyaan’ which was released in 2005 but did not know that a film with the same name was made some time in early 50s until I stumbled upon a beautiful song ‘tum bhi wohi ho main bhi wohi hoon’ on YT a few days back. I liked the song so much that I at once sat down to decipher the lyrics for posting on the blog. But on a second thought, I got a doubt about the singer of this song which the YT uploader has credited to Kishori Amonkar. As far as I know from the various sources of the websites, Kishori Amonkar’s first Hindi film song as a playback singer was “geet gaayaa pathharon ne” in 1964. Mogubai Kurdikar did not like her daughter to venture into playback singing career. As a result, Kishori Amonkar did not sing for any films until Drishti (1990) for which she was also the music director.

“Ham Hain Raahi Pyaar Ke” (1960) was a movie which was never released, but we in this blog assume this movie to be a creation of 1960. It seems logical seeing that the title of the movie was obviously inspired from the song “Ham Hain raahi Pyaar ke hamse kuchh na boliye” from the movie ‘Nau Do Gyaarah” (1957).

“Jahaan Tum Wahaan Ham” (1968) was a movie that was started with Raj Kumar, Feroz Khan and Mumtaz in lead roles. But the movie was shelved due to financial difficulties. By that time a few songs of this movie had already been recorded, but their records were not released at that time.
