Blog Day : |
4023 | Post No. : | 15136 |
[Ed Note: With sincere apologies to the author and the readers. This write up was delivered to the editors much in advance of the blog anniversary date. It is our oversight that we missed posting it on 19th July. The lapse is regretted.]
As the blog turns 11 today, we can celebrate the first step in the double digit age milestone. Numerilogically, 11 means 1+1=2 . Does this mean second stage of second phase ? Or 11 simply means gyarah number ki bus. Mumbaikar’s know that gyarah number bus means ‘to walk on two feet’. Walking walking we have reached the 15000 plus figuratively.
So. . . its “Chalte Chalte Mere Ye Geet Yaad Rrakhna. . . Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. . . Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. . .“
Flashback related to this song. . . My first day in college :
Coming from a girls only Urdu medium school, trepidation crowding the mind, how will I fit in and all that. Admission was done, fees paid whether I wanted to study Commerce or not, it was a done deal. Backtracking from a path already taken was a no no… in the family. It was a good reputed college of Mumbai, my elder sister was happy that at least I got a good college bit more away from the usual Urdu medium crowd, than she had managed. She had changed streams from Science (which she was very keen to do) to Commerce, at the last moment, just to avoid going to a college (not so good) which was very close to home and right next to the school.
Nobody in the family expected me to do well in Xth as my math was very week. In the surprised euphoria of me doing well in SSC, the decision was taken to try for the good college, a little away from the residence, involving commute by bus. My elder sister had a big hand in convincing the parents. So no 11 number ki bus for me, rather real BEST buses.
I remember the day of my admission. Two days after the SSC results my father took my elder sister and me to the college. After the procedure was completed, while going back home, my sister had a brain wave of watching a movie, to celebrate my admission to the college and also my 15th birthday. I have said in an earlier post that my elder sister has a great sense of occasion. My father dropped us to the theatre, waited to get the tickets and left for his office. The movie was ‘Ab Aayega Mazaa’ (1984) with Anita Raj and Raja Bundela.
So, first day of college @ 12 noon, the class started to fill up. Some of us girls found each other, sat in a row separate from the boys. Actually now what is known as a column, was a row in the class room. First period happened to be of English.
The lady lecturer asked all of us to introduce ourselves and talk about interests hobbies etc. One of the boys said he like to sing and the lecturer having found a ‘bakra’ was no going to let go. So the boy ‘marta kya na karta’ sang this song in the class:
Chalte Chalte Mere Ye Geet Yaad Rrakhna. . . Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. . .
The song as it is, is unforgettable, and with it this event of my first day of college is attached. Our college consisted of a motley crowd of upper, middle and lower crusts’s girls and boys. It had an ‘Urdu society’ with a Parsi Professor heading it and having its own notice board. Yes, the notice board was a great source of prestige during those times 🙂 .
The present song post is an almost sufiana song, a critically acclaimed song from the 2006 film ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’. Very unusual situation for a spectacular song, composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. There are three singers namely Shankar Mahadevan, Carlisa Monterio & Shafqat Amaanat Ali. Javed Akhtar is one of the lyricists. There is a Wikipedia page dedicated to this song. (I Wonder – do all songs have a page like this? ) Carlisa Monterio is the female singer who has penned the lines “Love Will Find A Way” as per the page on Wikipedia. I call this song almost sufiana, because it gives that feeling when one listens to the audio only.
It is picturized on Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukherjee, who are married to Priety Zinta and Abhishek Bachchan respectively. The two are also seen planning their respective wedding anniversary celebration, while meeting up from time to time at spectacular locations in Philadalphia, USA. They are both unhappy with their spouses and are still trying to continue in those marriages. Movie characters are rather fickle, not usually seen to be serious about their commitments. No doubt that divorce is sometimes the only way out of an abusive / real bad marriage. What is real bad and little bad, sort of can be worked at, is again relative. It is commendable that some civilized societies decided to reform and allow divorce as a permitted practice during 20th century. It was hailed as a step towards better rights for women.
Marriages and divorces in films are no mirror for realities. From what I have observed of bad marriages, one partner may be a major cause of discontent, but both partners suffer. Being the chief cause in a bad marriage doesn’t in anyway alleviate the personal sufferings. Parting ways in civilized manner should be a choice, but only if there is no way of reconciliation.
Also, because marriages are made in heaven, as human beings and social animals, we have a duty to safeguard this institution. Husband and wife’s is the primary relationship on which family is based and develops as a unit, it is the root of the family tree.
So this is a celebratory song for the 11th anniversary of the blog, and song no. 2 of the Mitwa trilogy. Ideally this would have been the 3rd and final song of the trilogy, but since the Anniversary is here, this song is the one I choose to post.
Happy anniversary to all my fellow travelers on the blog.

This song from the film Suhaag (1979) has been waiting in my drafts for a long time now. It is a group song based on Punjabi folk and a popular one at that.
It so happened that when I saw Peevesie’s Mom’s post yesterday on Rekha’s birthday, got an idea in the mind to do a post for Amitabh & Rekhas birthday together with a song of both of them. There are a lot of songs featuring these two as a couple yet to be posted in the blog.
Somehow I thought of the song “Naam Re. . . Sabse Bada Tera Naam, O Sheronwaali” from Suhaag, as a trio celebration of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha’s birthdays plus Navratri. But when I looked up the movie in the list, this song is already posted by Peevesie’s Mom in 2016. So that choice got ruled out.
Further yesterday was blue day for Navratri, there was a photo session of all ladies in the office, which is the norm all over nowadays in Mumbai offices at least. A colleague made a collage of those photos and put it on the status of the office ladies whatsapp group. It so happened she had mistakenly included one group photograph from another office.
When I pointed it out to her, she said “galti se ho gaya re. . .” . I asked my husband if there was a song with the word ‘galti‘ , he said there was no such song but there is a song with the word ‘bhool‘, e.g. “Hum Se Bhool Ho Gayee Hum Ka Maafi Dai Do” (‘Ram Balram’, 1980). I remembered the song “Hum Se Ka Bhool Hui Jo Ye Sazaa Hum Ko Mili” (‘Janta Hawaldar’, 1979). But since the song from ‘Ram Balram’ has both Rekha & Amitabh I shared the link to that song in the group. I am appreciated for thinking of a song at the drop of a hat, since we have a Hindi film song for all moments and occasions. I have reliable help in this endeavor, what with my husband being a filmy buff, YouTube etc. 🙂
So back to the song – today is yellow day and in this song at least Parveen Babi can be seen in full yellow, sunny splendour. And it has both Rafi & Asha Singing for Amitabh & Rekha. Asha Bhosle in giving playback to Parveen Babi too and Shailendra Singh is doing the honours for Shashi Kapoor. Anand Bakshi is the lyricist for this song composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal. Amitabh Bachchan is in disguise in this song to hide his identity from friend Shashi Kapoor, which is uncovered at the end of the song by Shashi Kapoor. Overall a colourful and enjoyable song to suit a celebratory occasion.
This bhangra song is filmed in the old Blighty’s Hyde Park – London, if I am not mistaken.
Song – Teri Rabb Ne Bana Di Jodi (Suhaag) (1979) Singer – Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle (for Rekha), Asha Bhosle (for Parveen Babi), Shailendra Singh, Lyrics – Anand Bakshi, MD – Lakshmikant Pyaarelal

Missing Films of 1960s – 67

roaming in rome. . .
The pun reminds me of a friend in college – he was the class jokester, always ready with something startling to put the group into fits of laughter. One day he solemnly announced that after good amount of research he has concluded that Ram (Lord Ram) was a native of Rome. So we asked him how he arrived at this dignified conclusion. He replied – because लिखने वाला लिख गया है – हे रोम रोम में बसने वाले राम. Needless to say, it was the prime joke of that day.
And for this post today, Anand Bakshi has surely started this song on a very punning note :).
With that we come to the next episode of this series. The film ‘Spy In Rome’ from 1968 comes from the banner of Adarshlok, Bombay, and is directed by Adarsh (I am sure nobody could have guessed that 🙂 ). The list of actors includes Dev Kumar, Jaimala, Rajendra Nath, KN Singh, Madhumati, Lata Sinha, Meenakshi, Brahm Bhardwaj, Caroline King, Khurshid, Shanti, Arya, Hercules, Fazal, and Bhatia etc.
The film carries four songs. All songs are penned by Anand Bakshi and the melody creator for this film is the duo of Laxmikant Pyaarelal.
The song is picturized in the beautiful and historic city of Rome. We can see Dev Kumar and Jaimala strolling through the streets of Rome, introducing the audience to the many architectural splendors of this culturally rich city. Back then in 1968, this would have been a real treat for the moviegoers.
Although the video is fairly good, I am not able to get a clear decision whether Dev Kumar is lip syncing this song, or that this song is playing in the background, as the two ‘spies’ are making their way through the city. I request other readers to help make this determination.
With this song, the film ‘Spy In Rome’ makes its debut here on our blog. Lets see how fast we get this film to Yippeee status.
Song – Rome Ki Waadiyon Se Do Dil Guzar Rahe Hain (Spy In Rome) (1968) Singer – Mohammed Rafi, Lyrics – Anand Bakshi, MD – Laxmikant Pyaarelal

Hullo Atuldom
7th April 2018 is the 76th birthday of Ravi Kapoor- unbelievable. He has been around in the entertainment industry/ Bollywood since 1959 i.e. close to 60 years. WOW!!! That is a really long time. And we are fans of his and know him as JEETENDRA.
His first on-screen appearance was in V.Shantaram’s “Navrang” as Sandhya’s character’s double. Post that he got his first major break in Shantaram’s “Geet Gaya Pattharo ne”. 1967 saw him in diametrically different avatars in “Gunahon ka Devta” and “Farz”—and 51 years after “Farz” the epithet of “Jumping Jack” still reminds us of Jeetuji and his vigorous dancing prowess. The T-shirt and white shoes became his trademark and suited his lean frame. He has appeared in only about 200 films of which only 80 or so were made-in-south movies most of them remakes of successful Telugu, Tamil and Kannada movies. He was the preferred North-Indian star of that era as far as T. Rama Rao, L.V. Prasad, Rama Naidu and such other South Indian filmmakers were concerned. But there was another set of films that had him in completely subdued character as in “Parichay”, “Mere Humsafar”, “Khushboo”, “Kinara”, “Dharti Kahe Pukaar Ke” and a long list of other movies.
He was loved by the audiences with any heroine he was paired right from Rajshree, Babita, Mala Sinha, Asha Parekh, Nanda and Mumtaz to the next set of ladies like Hema Malini, Rekha, Leena Chandavarkar, Reena Roy, Moushumi, and a few movies with Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi, Shabana Azmi, Neetu Singh and finally Sridevi and JayaPrada.
The above list looks like the roster of the heroines of the film industry. The only name that doesn’t feature in that list is that of Smita Patil as the only movie that featured the two, Smita was opposite to Dharamendra. And the list doesn’t name Rakhee, Jaya Bhadhuri (Bachchan), Bindiya Goswami, Radha, Bhanupriya, Madhavi, Meenakshi Seshadri, Madhuri Dixit etc. as they did only one or two movies each with Jeetuji.:) Phew! That is one long list. I am sure there are other heroines whose names are missing here. 🙂
As far as his acting style is concerned he must have been good to have lasted this long. I am sure people will say that he has survived on his dancing abilities alone, but then his movies with Gulzar at the helm didn’t have any dancing. He was a complete package of n actor who was comfortable with action, emotion, just standing and singing; dancing and singing.
His last silver screen appearance was in Farah Khan’s “Om Shanti Om” in the party song. He also produced a few movies, a business which is being looked after by his able daughter Ekta.
Today on his birthday I thought of all the possible songs and zeroed in on a song that is heard very often on the radio– mostly Vividh Bharathi, my staple source of film songs for years. It is from the 1976 released, L.V. Prasad produced “Udhar Ka Sindoor”. It was a remake of the Telugu movie “Manasullu Devudu”. The cast was headed by Jeetendra, Reena Roy and Asha Parekh with Prema Narayan, Asrani, Dheeraj Kumar, Manju Bansal (Asrani), Om Shivpuri and Urmila Bhat in supporting cast.
Just as a matter of trivia, here I feel like mentioning that Asha Parekh is the same age as Jeetendra, Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan and has co-starred as heroine to Jeetuji and RK but has been AB’s Bhabhi (in movies). Also, another point of interest which should be noted is Asha Parekh’s debut as heroine came in 1959 in “Dil Deke Dekho” and Jeetuji first appeared on-screen in 1959 in “Navrang” but as a character’s double.
Coming back to the movie “Udhar Ka Sindoor” (I sat through it to know what the movie was all about). It is a movie full of emotion- love for sister, love and gratitude towards foster-father; pinning to reunite with a lost sister; some drama on finding the sister, a groom for the foster-sister and then some action towards the end as by then the hero has become an inspector on the chase of a gang that forges currency. As it so happens the leader of the gang is the foster-brother who has to be pulled up for all the wrongs that he has committed including raping the lost-sister. That is why I said it was a movie full of EMOTIONS. And since there are two heroines, who happen to be sisters, there is a dose of sacrificing the hero for one another thrown in for good measure :). The hero is the lucky person as he gets to sing romantic songs with one sister and get married to the other and be worshipped by her since he married her despite her blindness.
Today’s song is sung by Kishore Kumar and Anuradha Paudwal, written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and Rajesh Roshan was the music director.
Wishing all health and happiness to our “Jumping Jack” Jeetendra.
Song-O diljaani bol meri raani (Udhaar Ka Sindoor)(1976) Anuradha Paudwal, Kishore Kumar, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-Rakesh Roshan
Lyrics
o diljaani
ae bol meri raani
main teri kya hoon
tu hai mera dil
kitni haseen hai duniya
sab kuchh hai kya suhaana
kho jaayen aaj hum-tum
dekha kare zamaana
ho o o o
o diljaani
bol meri raani
main teri kya hoon
tu hai mera dil
kitni haseen hai duniya h
sab kuchh hai kya suhaana
kho jaayen aaj hum-tum
dekha kare zamaana
ho o o o
mausam aaye
mausam jaaye
hamko rehna
tere saaye
gulshan bulaaye
ya pukaare kaliyaan aan aan
humko toh pyaari tere dil ki galiyaan aan
aa dil mein aaja
mujh mein samaa jaa
tere siwa o jaan-e-tamanna
mera kahin nahin hai thhikaana aa
ho o o
o diljaani
bol meri raani
main teri kya hoon
tu hai mera dil
kitni haseen hai duniya
sab kuchh hai kya suhaana
kho jaayen aaj hum-tum
dekha kare zamaana
ho o o
gir na jaoon
dekho sajna
yoonhi mujh ko
thhaame rakhna
neeche-oonche hai raste
darta hai jiya aa aa aa
mujhko uthha le apni baahon mein piya aa aa aa
tera deewaana
tera mastaana
tera saathi hai o jaan-e-jaanaa
phir manzil se kya ghabraana aa
ho o o
o diljaani
hey bol meri raani
main teri kya hoon
tu hai mera dil
kitni haseen hai duniya
sab kuchh hai kya suhaana
kho jaayen aaj hum-tum
dekha kare zamaana
ho o o
