People intersted in old Hindi movie music often come across names that may confuse people. For instance, there are people who confuse between Naushad and Nashaad. Then there are people (including some who are regarded as knowledgeable by others as well as by themselves) who think that Ghulam Haider and Ghulam Mohammad are one and the same ! A few years back, I was listening to an audiocast (I think the actual tem used in different) of a programme on old songs. The presenter presented a song from “Shaheed, viz. Watan ki raah mein watan ke naujawaan shaheed ho (Shaheed) . After the song, the presenter informed the listeners that the music of this song was compose by Ghulma Haider, and that music lovers are awrae of this music director for his compositions in “Paakeeza” (1972). After listening to this sentence, I lost all respect for the knowledge of the presenter about old Hindi movies.

“Baghdad” (1961) was a Southern Movies production. It was directed by T R Sundaram. The movie had M. G. Ramchandran, Vyjyantimala, Gopal Krishna, T. S. Balliah, Nambiar, Sandhya, Helen etc in it. That makes it one of the rare movies where M G Ramchandran was seen in a Hindi movie. I wonder if it was a dubbed movie. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie.

An exceptionally private person, Suman Kalyanpur hardly gives an interview to anyone. What you read about her is generally surmised from little known facts and rumors. She is also a very simple and unassuming person. She very well knew that her voice uncanningly sounded exactly like Lata’s and as such she was called in as a substitute when Lata was either abroad or unwell or had fallen out with a singer or a composer, as was often the case, from time to time. She was considered as poor man’s (producers’) Lata. Not being appreciated for her real talent, which was exceptionally brilliant, her grudge was apparent and she hardly went out to beg for singing assignments to any composers.

Sometime back I had written that the producers of Tarzan Films always tried to add some kind of masaala to their basic story to make it different and appealing. Today’s film TARZAN AUR JADUI CHIRAG, is easily the Top ranking masaala film in the Tarzan series which included a variety of characters and actors in the film. More about it later…
