Manoranjan (1974) was Shammi Kapoor’s first film as a director. He roped in R D Burman the reigning music director of that time to give music to his debut film as a director. Shammi Kapoor had in fact given Pancham his first biggest hit with Teesri Manzil (1966). But unfortunately Manoranjan flopped. The songs of this film were hits all the same.

Chamkat damkat daamini

In the process of searching for some rare songs sung by G M Durrani, I came across a song ‘chamkat damkat daamini’ sung by him in the film GEET GOVIND (1947) with Aabha and Geeta Dutt. I have not heard the name of the film nor the song. I am not even aware of Aabha, one of the playback singers in this song. Perhaps she may be one of those ‘one-film’ playback singers.

An affable presence, whether it be stage, screen or real life. And a soft and sweet voice – conversations of concern for humanity and society. A man of letters, well read, and well heard too, who continued to write till the end of his stay on this earth. A man of very impressive personality, who had the fortune of working with academic and social luminaries like Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, Dr. Zakir Hussain and Mahatma Gandhi. Balraj Sahni, a personality who could empathize with the issues of poverty and unemployment, from personal firsthand experience. And when he passed away, and was placed in state at his residence, besides a copy of Bhagwadgita, there was also placed near him a copy of ‘Das Kapital’ of Karl Marx, and tiny bust of Lenin. A man of the masses, whose roles in films like ‘Dharti Ke Lal’(1946), ‘Hum Log’ (1951), ‘Do Beegha Zameen’ (1953), ‘Heera Moti’ (1959) are a hallmark of simplicity and reality, roles that are a reflection of the mind of a thinker and a sensitive human being. It is more than coincidental that his birth anniversary is today, 1st of May, the day dedicated to the labor class. Today (1 may 2013), we celebrate the century year of his birth.

Ajee dil ho qaaboo mein to

On the eve of my retirement from the service in 2006, I had started buying VCDs/DVDs of many classic Hindi films mostly of 40s and 50s to watch them as a part of my post retirement activities. While I have watched most of them, there were still a few VCDs which were lying intact without even breaking the plastic wraps. One of such VCDs was of the film ‘Village Girl’ (1945). What caught my attention was not the intact plastic cover but a boldly printed statement on the top of the VCD cover in Hindi which in English meant ‘Mohammed Rafi’s first song – ajee dil ho qaaboo mein to dildaar ki aisee taisee’. Until now I was under the impression that Mohammed Rafi’s first debut Hindi film as a playback singer was ‘Pahle Aap’ (1944). I decided to first watch the film.
