Today’s song is from a ‘un-released’ movie from the decade of 1970s. According to the link of this song the year for this movie is mentioned as 1969 and from what the song is all about, I guess this year should be correct for this movie and this song. The title of this movie is ‘Chautha Paalnaa’.

The information about this movie is given in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980). It only mentions about the banner for this movie which is ‘Education & Social Reform’. The list of the songs has only one song which we are discussing here today. Only one song title is mentioned on this movie-page leaving space indicating possibility of more songs from this movie. The name of the lyricist for is mentioned as Balkavi Bairagi and music composer as SN Tripathi.

Hullo to all in Atuldom

Saw a portion of “Padikkadhavan” (Tamil 1985), a few days back. The portion had Sivaji Ganesan (Rajasekhar), the presiding judge for a case, realising that the accused Raja (Rajnikanth) & Ramu (Vijay Babu) are his long-lost brothers. He then proceeds to feign a heart attack & adjourns the court. After researching all night, he returns as a defence lawyer to save Raja and successfully proves that Chakravarthy (Jaishankar) is the one who murdered his own brother. A fight ensues between Chakravarthy and Raja, where Raja defeats Chakravarthy. In the end, Radha (Rajasekhar’s wife) apologises for her old attitude with Raja and Ramu.

Today’s song is from an obscure film – Ahinsa-1947.

1947 was a very momentous and memorable year in the annals of Hindi film Industry. Many talented actors, directors,singers, composers, lyricists, writers and technicians left India, opting to migrate to Pakistan. The year 1947 actually started with a bad Omen. K L Saigal died on 18th January 1947. The country was on the threshold of Partition and Independence for two countries. The film industry, which was a true Secular industry, started harbouring doubts about each other.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

The song in this post is going to give a big surprise to everyone. I am sure about that. Even I was surprised when I listened to it for this post. Though I have presented a song from this movie in the past but I was not aware about this song. After listening to this song it sounds familiar but I have no idea why.

This song is from an un-released movie ‘Bahaadur Jiskaa Naam’ from the decade of 1970s. As per information given in Hindi Film Geet Kosh Vol-IV (1971-1980) this movie was directed by K.A. Narayan for ‘Rangamma Films’. The cast of this movie is mentioned as Ashok Kumar, Pran, Prem Nath, I.S. Johar and Vidya Sinha. Geet Kosh lists four songs from this movie leaving space for other songs that would have been recorded for this movie but which are not known or may be these were not released on records.

#1300th Post# Chal Saathhee chal… chal saathhee chal …

In my previous post here, I have described how I discovered this great musical blog and how I become associated with it first as a visitor and subsequently as a lyrics contributor. I had developed some inclination (flair?) for writing from my younger days. My first article was published in a Marathi newspaper ‘Dainik Shivshakti’ published from Akola (Maharashtra). My article was about cricket where I had expressed my views about the dropping of Chetan Chauhan from the Indian cricket Team of 1980-1981.

After starting as a lyrics contributor I became a frequent visitor on the blog. I had discovered a vast treasure trove of Hindi Music here. Moreover I was also reading the detailed posts of senior contributors on this blog that enriching my knowledge of Hindi Film Music of the golden years of Hindi Cinema.
