Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 90
———————————————————————————–

The blog was maintaining a high daily strike rate of nearly 6 songs daily during september 2010, which got reduced to a daily rate of 3 songs per day from October 2010 onwards. This rate was sustained in November 2010 as well.

This date ten years ago (viz 1 November 2010) saw three songs getting discussed. Here are the details:-

Song Movie title-Year Remarks
Kal raat zindagi se mulaaqaat ho gayi Paalki-1967 All songs covered
Sainyya chhod de bainyya Rakhi-1962 All songs covered
Badal rahi hai zameen badal rahaa hai aasmaan Fashionable Wife-1959 02 of 10 songs posted

We can see that only one out of the three movies from the above list can be taken up for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (1 November 2020). This movie, namely “Fashionable Wife”(1959) was produced and directed by B K Adarsh for Adarshlok, Bombay. The movie had Jaymala, Abhi Bhattacharya, Anoop Kumar, Daisy Irani, Nazir Husein, Manorama, Leela Misra, Achla Sachdev, Mirza Musharraf, Iftekhar, Anand Joshi, Vijay Kaul, Mastana Azad, Murlidhar, R.S.Dubey, Nitoo, Jagdish Shrivastava, B.R.Wadia, Radhakishan etc in it.

Hello everyone,

My appearances here on the blog are becoming increasingly infrequent, not unlike the cameo visits of an MP/MLA to his constituency post-elections. 🙂

I will not get into reasons for my long absence from here – no excuses. Mea culpa.

As usual, my appearance here marks a special occasion.
This time it has to do with Sahir Ludhianvi’s death anniversary.

‘Angulimaal’ (1960) was directed by Vijay Bhatt of Prakash Pictures which had been known for producing mythological and historical films among other genres. The film was a presentation of Thai Information Services Co Ltd. It is said that on the occasion of 2500th birth anniversary of Lord Buddha, Thai Government financed the film. I find from the credit title of the film that a Thai sounding name, Viratna Vidyabanich was as one of the production controllers. The star cast consisted of Bharat Bhushan, Nimmi, Anita Guha, Manmohan Krishan, Achala Sachdev, Chandrasekhar, Prem Adib, Ulhas, Kesri, Ram Mohan, Helen, Bimla, Sheila Kashmiri and Master Vinod Kumar (Vinod Mehra). The dialogues were written by a well-known Hindi writer and poet, Bhavani Prasad Mishra, the only film for which he wrote dialogues. Earlier, Bhavani Prasad Mishra had written lyrics for ‘Swayam Siddha’ (1949).

Hullo Atuldom

Some songs keep playing in our mind as if on loop. This I had said in one of my previous posts. Today’s song is one such.

I saw it consciously a number of times in the last few years. Consciously means I may have seen it in the ’70s or ’80s when these movies were aired on the doordarshan but I was not old enough to appreciate them or the meaning of their lyrics. But now on repeat viewing of the movie I am getting wiser. I had filed away (mentally) that this needs to be on the blog. So here it is.

Today’s song is from a debutant movie ‘Dharti Ki God Mein-1971’. I was longing to introduce this movie on the blog since long but was not able to locate its songs and they seem difficult to find. Now they are available uploaded since last year i.e. 2019. Thanks to the uploader.

Mukesh and his Composers – 20
—————————————————-

“A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.”
This is a quote famously attributed to English politician and statesman Winston Churchill for his views on Russian engagement during World War II. This analogy may be completely irrelevant to the context of today’s post, but then I could not help remembering the above quote when I became cognizant of the total number of Hindi songs sung by Mukesh for the composer being discussed in today’s post.

Well, we are talking about composer Avinash Vyas and Mukesh’s association with him. To sustain the unusual mystery and the context of the first two paras, I would request readers to guess the total Hindi songs sung by Mukesh for Avinash Vyas.

Today’s song is from a comedy film Halla Gulla-1954. This was a film made by Bhagwan, under his own banner- Bhagwan Art productions, Bombay. He was the producer and the director. He had done a role in the film too. However, Master Bhagwan was not the Hero. The Hero was Sajjan and the Heroine was Shakila. Besides these 3 people, there was a line up of actors in the cast, like Leela Gupte, Leela Gandhi, Baburao pahilwan, Dada Salvi and many more-most of whom are unknown names to me.

Today is 15th August, 2020 and we are celebrating 74rd Independence day. A national festival in COVID times, when all the festivals and celebrations have been kept low key and confined to own dwellings, very small gatherings or on the modern wonders of 21st century whatsapp and video conferences. But these small mercies have also been marred by the casualties. Most painful is the inability to visit the sick and not go the two steps distance towards the final rites of those who have lost this battle.

Today is 31 july 2020. It is the 40th anniversary of the passing away of Mohammad Rafi ( 24 december 1924-31 july 1980) as all HFM lovers are only too aware. 31 july 1980 is a day which is still fresh in the minds of music lovers who were around at that time.

31 july 1880, a date exactly 100 years prior to 31 july 1980 was also an important day. It was on this day that Dhanpat Rai was born, who would later be known as Munshi Premchand (31 july 1880-8 october 1936), one of the most influential Urdu-Hindi author in modern Indian literature.

Today’s song is from a very old – almost 83 year old – film, from the first decade of Talkie films – Khudai Khidmadgar-1937. The film was made by Bharat Lakshmi Pictures, Calcutta. It was directed by the all rounder Vithaldas Panchotia, who also did an important role in the film. Music was by Nagardas Nayak. All the 12 songs in the film were sung by 6 singers and songs were written by Arzoo lucknavi.
