Ah.. Raj Kapoor – the Showman. Sometimes also referred to as the Greatest Showman of Indian Cinema. A lifetime affair with the camera – very prominently handled both ends, sometimes in front of it, and then also behind it. Starting with childhood appearances accompanying his illustrious father to studios. And on to be a performer himself. And very soon, a producer – to quench his thirst, rather his search, for the ultimate story of love.

Raj Kapoor – the eternal seeker, the eternal explorer – in quest for the meaning of love equation between a man and a woman. All his life he produced films. The subjects, the scenarios varied, but against all the scenarios the unwavering theme, the unchanging premise of emotions flowing from one heart to another.

What does it take to define this equation? He has explored this question incessantly through his films and the music of his films. It is said in the industry – he had a Midas touch for music. No matter which film one picks. There may be commentaries and reviews about the films, but always, the music. The music was always the winner. And it is through the songs and music of his films that he expressed this search, this quest – for the meaning of love – endlessly.

His films almost always bring together the lovers in disparate and trying situations. What does it mean to be in love when, by normal discourse, love may not, cannot happen. And yet it does. From his very first venture as a producer – film ‘Aag’ of 1948, he had Saraswati Kumar Deepak write for him

kahin ka deepak kahin ki baati
aaj baney hain jeevan saathi

These verses kind of set the journey in motion that lasted for almost for four decades till the Showman decided in 1988 to hang up his director’s cap. On and on, one film at time, one can trace this quest for the meaning of love throughout his journey. The words and verses never ever failed to chalk up the emotions that were the matter of his quest. ‘Barsaat’ came in 1949 and with it, it brought the timeless melodies of

o o o,
mujhe kisi se pyaar ho gaya

and

meri aankhon mein bas gaya koi re
mujhe neend na aaye main kya karoon

With ‘Awaara’ of 1951, the theme resounded with the melody of

ghar aaya mera pardesi
pyaas bujhi in nainan ki

In 1953, when ‘Aah’ came to the theater screens, audiences were not so enamored by the sad somber story of a love lost. But yet again, the music said it all, and forever.

sunte the naam hum, jinka bahaar se
dekha to bola jiya jhoom jhoom ke

The journey continued in 1955 with ‘Shri 420’, touching towering heights of emotional expressions with the simplest of words.

ramaiya vasta vaiya
maine dil tujh ko diya

To date, no verse writer worth his salt has expressed this emotion in words more simple than these.

The proverbial icing always has been the on screen presentation of these wonderful melodies. The visions of the song presentation are a heart warming journey of visuals stringed with the words played on arias of melodies that proved to be incomparable even to this day. There is no peer, no comparable expression that can, or that will replicate the emotional highs of

pyaar hua iraar hua hai
pyaar se phir kyon darta hai dil

And the voyage carries on with the search for that promised destination that may reveal that ultimate truth of this mystery of love. ‘Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai’ – 1961. A very brief verse in the middle of a song, seems to encompass the entire story of this quest.

itna sa dil tu de de agar
saara jag tera ho jaaye
saara jag tera ho jaaye

‘Sangam’ came in 1964. It came with a bevy of emotions that crossed through so many layers of the mind’s labyrinths encompassing compassion, sacrifice, friendship, betrayal – and yes, love of course. And the hearts would sing these lines forever

har dil jo pyaar karega
wo gaana gaayega

and

o mere sanam, o mere sanam
do jism magar ik jaan hain hum
ik dil ke do armaan hain hum

Then came the magnum opus in 1970. ‘Mera Naam Joker’ – a commercial disappointment initially which has later ended up becoming a cult film in its own right. A lifetime’s search for love, culminating in show at a circus. One after another, love appears in life of the Joker, but always leaves him alone at the end. And the heart of the Joker has these words to sing

bhoologe tum, bhoolenge wo
par hum tumhaare rahenge sada

Beyond that, now new generations were taking over. Romance and love donned new faces and new dresses in ‘Bobby’ (1973). The words got a different expression, the music changed, but the soul sound of love remained what it has for centuries – unchanged. A new voice was now strumming the drums and saying

. . . par pyaar bhara dil kabhi na todo
is dil mein dilbar rehta

And alongwith came the declaration that

deta hai dil de, badle mein dil ke
. . . . . .   pyar mein sauda nahin

Then in 1978 came another significant milestone in this journey – ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’. With the thesis that the truth is always akin to God, and thus, it is always beautiful. The mind’s conflict between the truth of the beauty and the beauty of imagination is again a timeless discourse, dealt once again with the verses of tradition

bhor bhaye panghat par

and

sainyaan nikas gaye main naa ladi thi

‘Prem Rog’ appeared in 1982 and the Showman’s last venture – ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’ appeared in 1985.

‘Prem Rog’ was was a creation that came forth three and a half decades after his quest had debuted in ‘Aag’. And the wonder of the outcome thus far, thirty five years in the making, and the explorer still ended up with the question that started his quest way back in 1948. For in this film, he yet once again poses the question

ye din kyon nikalta hai
ye raat kyon hoti hai
ye peed kahaan se uthti hai
ye aankh kyon roti hi
….
mohabbat hai kya cheez, hum ko bataao
ye kis ne shuru ki, hamen bhi sunaao

The essence of a lifetime of search. At the end of his energies after years of exploring. And the explorer is yet asking the same question. Again. A lifetime spent in synthesis, after having sung so many beautiful verses in its praise, after equating it to God and saying – that which is true, it also is beautiful. And then negating all these achievements, discarding all the experiences of the landmarks of the journeys, the seeker once again picks up the question that had started his journey decades earlier.

And thus remains the enigma – as it is. The final offering of 1985 – ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’ brings a last message

sun saiba sun
pyaar ki dhun

Just listen to this aria of love. Do not search it with a question. Just savor the strumming emotions, and let this dhun immerse oneself, take one into the unknown unseen depths. Just relish and delight in this feeling of love – do not ask any questions of it. The wheel of life having come a full circle, and yet a definitive and culminating statement still could not be made. Such is it – the mystery of LOVE.

Ah yes, now for the song presented with this post. 1982 was the year when the young mind was still innocently concerned with the questions about this emotion. The film came along and I do remember I had seen it on the big screen. The analysis of how the realities of the society and the bitter truths of life, were still years ahead in time. The mind always was simply happy at witnessing a happy ending. Always assuming that all the hiccups and tribulations on the way are a conjuring of the story tellers mind, and that lovers are always destined to meet. Ah, the loveliness of that innocence, believing in the good always.

But that discussion in maybe another post, for another song of love.

‘Prem Rog’ is a story of unexpressed love, and maybe also love about which the lovers themselves are not aware. A young girl from a rich traditional family, a young lad – and orphan without any antecedents. And they are good friends, for the boy frequents the home of the girl to do sundry jobs for the household. The girl gets married, and widowed, in quick succession – in like a blink of the eye. Circumstances bring her back to her parent’s home. The contact is re-ignited. And the emotoions that were not expressed not understood till then, now come floating into the heart. There follows a long and grueling struggle, ultimately violent, with the social norms and traditions. However, a happy ending at the end.

I liked the film on two counts. One was a very stark, almost harsh portrayal of the tribulations of a young widow in a very conservative family. And second, it was a refreshing feeing to see Nanda and Tanuja both on screen after a gap. Of course, Shammi Kapoor was the added attraction.

A minor trivia. Padmini Kolhapure, at 17, became the youngest individual recipient of the Filmfare Best Actress Award for this film.

Songs of ‘Prem Rog’ are quite hummable and became very popular in their time. There are 6 songs in this film, five of which are already showcased on our blog. This is the sixth song to make it here, which brings us to declare ‘Prem Rog’ to be Yippeee’d on the blog.

The shooting of this song sequence is something special to mention. The film was shot in the studio and some scenes in and around a farm house on way to Poona. This particular song, no guesses, is shot in the tulip fields at Kukenhoff, close to Amsterdam in Holland. Yes, the same place where the ‘Silsila’ (1981) song “Dekha Ek Khwab To Ye SilSile Huye” was also shot.

It is interesting to note that the song opens with the lead pair on a bicycle. The bicycle looks very typically Indian. So one must assume that the artifact was carried by the shooting team from India to Holland.

The words of the song are very beautifully crafted. As the song opens, Devdhar (role played by Rishi Kapoor) blesses Manorama (role played by Padmini Kolhapure) with the years of his own life. In the first stanza, Manorama tells of the extremely difficult phase she is passing through, and tells Devdhar that she is a flower that has already been plucked from the branch. In the second stanza, Devdhar tells her about the temporary nature of happiness and sorrow in life, and that the days past are already past. In the third stanza there is an exchange. Manorama tells Devdhar that the sleep from her eyes is gone, and also cautions him that the flower he trying to pursue is not sweet any longer. And Devdhar responds that the flower is beautiful and innocent. As we watch the video clip of the song, one can see some realizations dawn on the face of Manorama.

The words are crafted by Pt Narendra Sharma, and give a very sophisticated and literary feel to the verses. Music is by Lakshmi-Pyaare. The singing voices are of Lata Mangeshkar and Suresh Wadkar. Suresh Wadkar had appeared on the film scene as a singer in 1976. This song likely was recorded in 1981.

The video clip has two stanzas, whereas the audio clip carries all the three stanzas. The lyrics given below are based on the audio clip.

Enough said, I believe, so let us get on to listen to this sonorous melody.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Debutant Movie- Ham Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin-1979)
——————————————-——————————————

Today we introduce the movie “Ham Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin-1979” on the blog.

I guess that this was an obscure movie of its time. My guess is that this must be a ‘dubbed movie’ from a ‘southern movie’.

“Ham Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin-1979” was directed by M.S. Gopinath for ‘Golden Eagle Films, Bombay’. It had Krishna, Jaya Chitra, Kavita, Vijay Lalita and others. HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) mentions only these four names under the cast of this movie.

As per HFGK Vol-V, the date of certification by Censor Board of this movie is 22.12.1979.

“Ham Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin-1979” has seven songs which were penned by two lyricist viz. Gopichand Kotwani (three songs) and Mukhtar (four songs).

Music for this movie was composed by Hari-Arjun.

Suresh Wadkar, Mahendra Kapoor, Dilraj Kaur, Meenu Puroshottam, Sushma Shreshtha, Preeti Sagar and Arjun Chhabra are the singers who had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

Here is the list of songs in this movie:-

SNo. Song Title Lyricist Singer
01 Un aankhon ka ye jaadu hai Mukhtar Suresh Wadkar
02 Ek ladki jawaan khubroo Mukhtar Mahendra Kapoor, Dilraj Kaur
03 Hal par ye gham kya hai chhodiye Gopichand Meenu Puroshottam, Sushma Shreshtha
04 Chehre ke pichhe hain bhed laakhon kisko pataa Gopichand Preeti Sagar, Arjun Chhabra
05 Jeena kya marnaa kya Mukhtar Dilraj Kaur,Preeti Sagar
06 Mujhko beete huye Gopichand Arjun Chhabra
07 Jab uthhaa dard Mukhtar Arjun Chhabra

Both the lyricist Gopichand Kotwani and Mukhtar are new names for this blog. Same is the case for the singer Arjun Chhabra.

Today we present the first song from this movie “Ham Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin-1979” on the blog.

A movie with this same title “Ham Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin” released in “1958” has already been represented on the blog earlier.

So, we add one more movie to the ‘movies with same title’ group today.

Today’s song is written by Mukhtar. It is sung by Suresh Wadkar. Music is composed by Hari-Arjun.

Only audio of the song is available.

I would request knowledgeable readers to add more information about this movie and its songs.

Let us listen to the song now…

Hullo Atuldom

Two Indian actors were born in 1938 one in Calcutta and another in Surat. Both had their first movies around 1960/61. But their first film together happened sometime in 1977/78. “Mukti” (1977) was perhaps the first time they acted together. I am speaking of Shashi Kapoor (18th March 1938) & Sanjeev Kumar (9th July 1938), post which they were seen in 9/10 movies, the last of which released in 1989. I discovered this movie just before I began writing this post. The print that is available online is not very good but it gives a fair idea of the film.

“Oonch Neech Beech” was a movie produced by Jagdish Varma and directed by Wasi Khan (never heard of these names). Music direction was by Laxmikant Pyarelal and Dr. Rahi Masoom Reza, Anjaan & Aziz Qaisi (another new name) were the lyricists. Nitin Mukesh, Kamlesh Awasthi, Suresh Wadkar, Mahendra Kapoor were the playback singers. Raageshwari (according to various online sites, the titles card of the movie was not very helpful) was the only female singer used.
I have already mentioned that Shashi Kapoor & Sanjeev Kumar were in the cast. Additionally there were two power house performers- Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil. Then there were Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Nilu Phule, Sudhir, N.A. Ansari, Krishan Dhawan & Jagdish Raj playing important roles. The look that the cast sported in the movie was not like the way audiences were used to seeing them, specially the male in the cast. Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil carried looks that looked like extension of their realistic (meaning Art) films. The whole ambience of the film gave me a feeling that it was a long-in-the-making film. Readers may recall that Sanjeev Kumar had died in 1985 and Smita Patil in 1986. Possible that this may have been completed much before Sanjeev Kumar and Smita Patil died because the artists seem to have dubbed for themselves.

As for the storyline- Tulsi (Shabana Azmi) is a married woman who is deserted by her husband (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) at a railway station. Motilal (Shashi Kapoor) is the station master there and Hariram (Sanjeev Kumar) the coolie. These two try to help out Tulsi in her predicament, before Sumati (Smita Patil) enters the scene as Motilal’s wife. There is the usual misunderstanding between husband and wife as regards the relation that is between Tulsi and Motilal.
Here I would like to say that I am yet to see the full movie. I stopped seeing when I reached the song that we are having today. It is a multi-version song and I stopped seeing after the first version. Shashi Kapoor starts the song in Kamlesh Awasthi’s voice and Suresh Wadkar is playback for Sanjeev Kumar
Thinking of the cute actor of the Kapoor Khaandan today on his 5th anniversary. Shashi Kapoor passed away this date in 2017 (3 months before turning 80). He son Kunal Kapoor who had acted in afew films is essentially an Ad filmamker and daughter Sanjana who also featured in a some movies of the late 80s is now a theatre personality. Shashi Kapoor’s youngest son Karan Kapoor who began his journey as model for Bombay Dyeing etc is now into photography and settled in the UK.

P.S After writing the above post I finished seeing the movie. I found that the print that is available online has only one version of the song. Also the audio version on youtube is longer.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties (1981-1990) -9 (1989)
—————————————————————

Welcome all to this post covering Pancham’s music during the decade of eighties or 1981-1990.

This post comes after a long gap of almost five months.

In today’s post we move on to Pancham’s music in 1989.

Let us first take a look at the number of movies with music by R.D. Burman during the period from 1981 to 1988.

Sr.No. Year No. of movies with music by Pancham
01 1981 20
02 1982 15
03 1983 19
04 1984 17
05 1985 18
06 1986 07
07 1987 09
08 1988 06

In the year ‘1989’, six Hindi movies with music by R.D. Burman were released.

Here is the list of these movies.

Sno Movie Title Director Lyricist Date of Censor Certificate Status on the Blog
1 Aag Se Khelenge Bhaskar Shetty Anand Bakshi 30.08.1989
2 Bahuraani Manick Chatterjee Anjaan 18.12.1989
3 Dost K. Murali Mohan Rao Indeevar 23.06.1989
4 Joshile/Joshilay Sibte Hasan Rizvi Javed Akhtar 10.01.1989
5 Jurrat David Dhawan Anand Bakshi 12.12.1989 1 of 6 songs posted
6 Parindaa Vidhu Vinod Chopra Khursheed Hallauri 31.08.1989 4 of 7 songs posted

For today’s presentation I have selected a song from the movie ‘Joshilay’.

“Joshilay-1989” was directed by Sibte Hasan Rizvi for ‘New World Enterprises’. It had Sunny Deol, Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Satyen Kappu, Alok Nath, Prema Narayan, Rajesh Puri, Rama Vij, Bharat Bhushan and Master Jatin Khurana, Harjeet Walia, Hanif, Agarwal, Bhiku Verma, Jaspal Singh Sandhu, Hemant Mishra, K.L. Shetty, Deepak Kejriwal, Satish Kaushik, Kumud Tripathi, Ashok Sharma, Ami Asthana, Ravi Shastri, Mahendra, Arvind, Deep Dhillon.

This movie introduced Rajesh Vivek as ‘Jogi Thakur’.

Story, screenplay and dialogues of this movie were written by Javed Akhtar.

Editing of this movie was done by I.M. Kunnu.

Javed Akhtar also wrote the lyrics of the songs in this movie. As mentioned above music of this movie was composed by R.D. Burman.

“Joshilay” or “Joshile” was passed by Censor Board on 10.01.1989.

This movie has five songs as per details given below. (Though, the LP Vinyl cover of this movie mentions the following six soundtracks. It mentions the song ‘na jaa jaane jaa’ two times, but it is not clear if these are two different versions.)

SNo Song Title Singer
01 Na jaa jaane jaa Asha Bhonsle, R.D. Burman
02 Dhar dham chak lag gayi Asha Bhonsle
03 Joshilay shahzaade hain Kishore Kumar
04 Dhak dhak jiyaa kare Asha Bhonsle, Usha Mangeshkar
05 Dhola dhol manjira baaje re Asha Bhonsle, Suresh Wadkar
06 Na jaa jaane jaa Asha Bhonsle, R.D. Burman

As we can see in the above table Kishore Kumar, R.D. Burman, Asha Bhonsle, Suresh Wadkar and Usha Mangeshkar had given their voices to the songs in this movie. (The title of the movies doesn’t mention the name of Suresh Wadkar in the list of singers for this movie.)

The story of the movie is based on the regular ‘dacoit destroying the family- then the revenge by the children who were orphaned then and later grow up with only one aim of taking revenge for their parents killings.

Shekhar Kapoor was supposed to direct the movie initially but it seems that he left the movie in between which was later taken over for direction by the producer Sibte Hasan Rizvi himself.

I have not yet watched this movie.

Let us now move to today’s song which I have selected for its music specially. The prelude music of this song would remind many the prelude music of ‘chunri sambhaal gori…’. Today’s song is based on the ‘folk song of Rajasthan’ ‘dhhola dhhol manjira baaje re’.

It is sung by Asha Bhonsle and Suresh Wadkar and on screen it is lip-synced by Sridevi and Sunny Deol respectively. Also seen in the picturisation of this song is Anil Kapoor, Meenakshi Sheshadri and many others.

Enjoy this ‘folk-musical’ from Pancham for the lovely music, singing by Asha Bhonsle and Suresh Wadkar, and Sridevi’s steps in this musical composition.

With today’s song ‘Joshilay-1989’ makes its debut on the blog…

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2012-2022) – Song No. 124
————————————————————————————–

Ten years back on this date viz on 7 October 2012, five songs from five movies were covered on the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
6960 Palat tera dhyaan kidhar hai Sanjog (1943) Movie YIPPEED by now

We can observe that four movies (out of five) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (7 november 2012) have since been YIPPEEd.

That leaves us with only one movie that remains unYIPPEED and therefore is eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (7 november 2022).

That movie is “Sadmaa”(1983).

“Sadmaa”(1983) was produced by Romu N Sippy and Raj N Sippy and directed by Balu Mahendra. This movie was a remake of Tamil movie ”Moondram Pirai” (1982).

“Sadmaa”(1983) had Kamal Hassan,Sridevi,Silk Smita,Gulshan Grover,Paintal, Padma Chauhan, Dr.Sri.Ram Lagoo, Somayaajulu,Ashalata Wabgaaonkar,Arvind Deshpande,Viju Khote,Birbal, H.J.Imam,Leela Misra,Jansi,Ifthekar,Anand Balraj etc in it.

The movie had six songs in it. Four songs have been covered so far.

Here is the fifth song from “Sadmaa”(1983) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Asha Bhonsle, Suresh Wadkar and chorus. The song is penned by Gulzar. Music is composed by Ilaiyaraja.

The song is picturised on Anand Balraj aka Andy Balraj and Sridevi.

Lyrics of the song and other details were sent to me by Prakahchandra.

Hullo Atuldom

‘Prem Rog’ (1982) was a film produced by Raj Kapoor’s RK Film’s and directed by Raj Kapoor himself. It had Rishi Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor from the Kapoor clan heading the cast with Padmini Kolhapure, Nanda, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Raza Murad, Leela Mishra, Sushma Seth, Bindu, Om Prakash, Kiran Vairale featuring in prominent roles/characters. Vijendra Ghatge, Rajendranath, Tanuja, Asha Sachdev, Monty Nath, Dulari and Dina Pathak featured in either special or guest appearances.

The story was based on the issue of widow remarriage which I am sure is never a dated topic. There is a very poignant dialogue which Shammi Kapoor (as Bade Raja Thakur) says towards the end of the film which meant that “we (The Thakurs) lay down rules for the public to follow and move on in life but in reality we are ourselves bound by age-old customs.” (The original dialogue, as written by Jainendra Jain is “हम लोग दोहरी ज़िंदगी जीते हैं, दूसरों के लिए और, अपने लिए कुछ और। ये सब दिखावा है। मगर हमारे यहाँ विधवा की दूसरी शादी नहीं हुआ करती।”).  The story was written by Smt. Kamna Chandra. Pandit Narendra Sharma and Santosh Anand were the lyricists and Laxmikant Pyarelal were the music directors. Sudha Malhotra, Lata Mangeshkar, Suresh Wadkar and Anwar were the playback singers used.

An interesting titbit on the film is that it was the first time that Shammi Kapoor acted in a RK Film, almost 30 years after Raj Kapoor established the banner. Although they had appeared together in ‘Char Dil Char Rahen’ in 1959 and also appeared in a guest appearance in a song of Manmohan Desai’s 1981 release ‘Naseeb’. Raj Kapoor had cast Shashi Kapoor in his ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’ (SSS) (1978) and a few of the earlier films of RK Banner.

‘SSS’ had Padmini Kolhapure play the childhood of Zeenat Aman and ‘Prem Rog’ (after four years since “SSS”) saw Padmini play one of her first adult roles. (Nasir Hussain’s ‘Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hai’ also had Padmini play an adult role and that released before ‘Prem Rog’) Padmini went on to win the Filmfare award for Best Actress in that year.

We have four songs from film on the blog. Today we are revisiting the film on the occasion of Rishi Kapoor’s birth anniversary- he would have turned 70. He had some different types of roles post 2000 with films like ‘Raju Chacha’, ‘Kuchh Khatti Kuchh Meethi’, ‘Agneepath’ etc and he tasted a different success. The highlight of this period of his career was his on-screen reunion with Amitabh Bachchan in “102 Not Out” when both played old-aged father-son duo.

He was nominated in the Best Supporting actor and Best Actor in a Comic role for playing a 90-year-old grandfather whose heart-attack is instrumental in bringing his dysfunctional family together for a ‘final family photo’ which will be captioned “Kapoor & Sons, since 1921” (that was also the title of the movie). Chintu a.k.a Rishi Kapoor won the Filmfare for this role. Other than this he was an National Award winner for ‘Mera Naam Joker’ (1970), Filmfare award winner for ‘Bobby’ (1973).

With today’s song we shall also wish (belatedly) Pyarelal Sharma of the Laxmi-Pyare duo on turning a year younger on 3rd September. He has given us so many lovely, melodious moments since the early 60s in the company of Laxmikant Kudalkar after having started as assistants to the big-names of Bollywood music. In all 174 songs composed by the duo appeared in the Finals of Binaca Geetmala. The stats page of the blog says they have composed 2900 songs, in about 635 films, of which the blog has 942 i.e. we are not even halfway in covering the songs composed by Laxmi-Pyare. The first film of the duo came in 1963 and the last film on which they worked together was in 1998. Pyarelal has been seen on Television in recent times as special judge on many musical shows. Wishing him good health.

Here is the song in the voice of Suresh Wadkar that comes at the start of the movie. It shows Rishi Kapoor dressed simply in a shirt devoid of the blazers, jerseys and mufflers that he was famous for. The song is written by Santosh Anand.

kuchh samjha aur kuchh samajh na paaya

aisi hai is rog ki maaya

यारो है वो किस्मत वाला
प्रेम रोग जिसे लग जाता है
सुख दुख का उसे होश नहीं है
अपनी लौ में राम जाता है
हर पल खुद ही खुद हँसता है
हर पल खुद ही खुद रोता है
ये रोग ला-इलाज सही

Blog Day :

5144 Post No. : 17106

Today 18th August 2022 is the eighty-eighth birthday of Poet, Lyricst, Writer, Director, etc. Shri Sampooran Singh Kalra whom we know by his pen name ‘Gulzar’ (born on 18.08.1934).

Gulzar Saab has come a long way in the film industry starting from ‘Shriman Satyawadi’ (1960) and ‘Kabuliwaala’ (1961) to the recently released (on OTT) ‘Darlings-2022’ (where he wrote lyrics for a song).

Much has been written about him and most of us are well aware of his ‘cinematic excellence’ and his unique ‘poetry’ where he uses the ‘similes’ in his unique ways in his poetry and lyrics in Hindi Film Music.

There have been numerous posts on the blog about Gulzar Saab and there will be many coming in future. So, today, I am not going into the details of his movies and lyrics list which I like most or which have left an indelible mark on my mind. But I would like to mention here that while Gulzar Saab have done so much in all areas of writing, cinema, and poetry I have yet to read many of his works other than movies. However, in the case of movies I can say that I have watched many of the movies directed by him. And l loved them all.

One more thing which I am very fond of Gulzar Saab is his writings for children or his lyrics for the movies for children and the non-filmi albums of his for children (like ‘Karadi Tales etc). I would also like to mention his commentary in two audio albums one for film music i.e., ‘Fursat Ke Raat Din’ and one for Bhupen Hazarika’s song ‘Main Aur Mera Saaya’ which I like very much. Finally, I would like to mention his song for tele serial ‘Mirza Ghalib’ which is also one of my most favorite albums.

There are many things which one can write about him and his works in cinema and other than ‘cinema’. However, today we leave this for another day and straightway come to today’s song to celebrate Gulzar Saab’s birthday on the blog. (This song is lying with us since almost a decade now 😊).

This song is from the 1990 movie ‘Lekin’.

‘Lekin’ was directed by Gulzar for Dinanath Kala Mandir. Hridaynath Mangeshkar and Bal Phoole were the producers of this movie. It was presented by Lata Mangeshkar. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 29.08.1990.

It had Vinod Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Amjad Khan, Alok Nath, Moon Moon Sen, Vijayendra Ghatge, Beena, Manohar Singh, Ram Mohan, Ajit Vachhani, Sunil Advani, Shabir Abbas, Masood Akhtar, Yash Sharma, GP Singh, Bashir Khan, Mohafiz Haider, S Madan, Harmeet Singh, Umesh Vyas, Mansi Upadhyay, Sapna Awasthy, Rashmi, Ahmed Siddiqui, and Baby Shabana Khan. Hema Malini made a guest appearance in this movie.

The story of this movie was written by Gulzar, who also wrote the screenplay, dialogues, and lyrics for this movie. Editing of this movie was done by Sadanand Shetty, Ravi, and Aadinath Mangeshkar.

This movie has eight soundtracks as mentioned on the blurb of the audio cassette of this movie. Music is composed by Hridaynath Mangeshkar. I like all songs of this movie very much and this is one of my most favorite albums. Today’s song is sung by Suresh Wadkar and on screen it is lip-synced by Vinod Khanna.

This movie is an interesting movie to watch, so nothing more about the movie here 😊

Let us listen to today’s song and enjoy Gulzar Saab’s poetry …

We wish Gulzar Saab a very happy birthday today and a happy, healthy and peaceful life ahead …

Over to the song now …

Song-Surmayee shaam is tarah aaye (Lekin)(1990) Singer-Suresh Wadkar, Lyrics-Gulzar, MD-Hridaynath Mangeshkar

Lyrics

surmayee shaam is tarah aaye ae ae ae
surmayee shaam is tarah aaye
saans lete hain jis tarah saaye ae
surmayee shaam is tarah aaye
saans lete hain jis tarah saaye ae
surmayee shaam

koi aahat nahin badan ki kahin
phir bhi lagta hai tu yahin hai kahin
koi aahat nahin badan ki kahin
phir bhi lagta hai tu yahin hai kahin
waqt jaata sunaayee deta hai
tera saaya dikhayee deta hai ae
jaise khushboo nazar se chhoo jaaye
jaise khushboo nazar se chhoo jaaye
saans lete hain jis tarah saaye
surmayee shaam

din ka jo bhi pahar guzarta hai
koi ehsaan sa utarta hai
din ka jo bhi pahar guzarta hai
koi ehsaan sa utarta hai
waqt ke paaon dekhta hoon main
roz yeh chhaaon dekhta hoon main
aaaye jaise koi khayaal aaye
aaye jaise koi khayaal aaye
saans lete hain jis tarah saaye ae
surmayee shaam is tarah aaye
saans lete hain jis tarah saaye
surmayee shaam

सुरमई शाम इस तरह आए
सुरमई शाम इस तरह आए
सांस लेते हैं जिस तरह साये

कोई आहट नहीं बदन की कहीं
फिर भी लगता है तू यहीं है कहीं’
कोई आहट नहीं बदन की कहीं
फिर भी लगता है तू यहीं है कहीं’
वक़्त जाता सुनाई देता है
तेरा साया दिखाई देता है
जैसे खुशबू नज़र से छू जाये
सांस लेते हैं जिस तरह साये
सुरमई शाम

दिन का जो भी पहर गुज़रता है
कोई एहसान सा उतरता है
दिन का जो भी पहर गुज़रता है
कोई एहसान सा उतरता है
वक़्त के पाँव देखता हूँ मैं
रोज़ ये छांव देखता हूँ मैं
आए जैसे कोई खयाल आए
आए जैसे कोई खयाल आए
सांस लेते हैं जिस तरह साये
सुरमई शाम इस तरह आए
सांस लेते हैं जिस तरह साये
सुरमई शाम

Blog Day :

Hullo to all friends

I know it is rather late in the day to wish a ‘Happy Friendship Day’; but as the saying goes ‘Better Late Than Never’.

This morning my husband had a confused look on his face when he started receiving Friendship Day messages. He asked me “when is this day?”. The reason behind the question was – he had received friendship day messages last weekend too, on July 30th to be exact.

My reply (after a lot of googling, need not be the accurate answer)- “July 30th was the International Friendship Day as recognized by the United Nations General Assemby in 2011.”
The next question followed “Then why I am getting messages today?”

My reply – “In India Friendship Day is celebrated on first Sunday of August for some decades now. Personally I don’t know when all this began”.

On thinking deeper, do we really need any of these special days? Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, Sibling Day, Grandparents Day, Son’s Day, Daughter’s Day, Friendship Day etc. Aren’t these relations part of our emotional framework? I can only see one purpose to these days- acknowledging the existence of these relations in our life when we are fortunate of them being there. Because we miss our friends, parents, and all loved ones when they are not there and away from us for some reason or they have been permanently removed from our life. It is good to appreciate them when they are there and not take them for granted.

Different matter that cynics would say the purpose of these DAYS is to increase the workload of postmen & courier services, greeting card makers and shops selling relevant gifts, flowers and chocolates. (good for economy Emoji) But let us not be cynics.

The first set of best friends or Best Friends Forever (BFF)- as the new generation would put it- were Krishna- Sudama, Karna- Duryodhana (my thinking, I may be wrong too).

All of us have our set of friends who have stood by us through thick and thin, in our good times and bad times. The ‘Friend in need is a friend Indeed” type. We have friends with whom we just need to see or dial and start talking as if there was no gap in between, as if we have been meeting or speaking every single day of the year. Today is the day to acknowledge the importance of all the friends in our life.

Do we have special songs for this occasion in Hindi Films? Yes of course. Any song with the words ‘yaar’, ‘yaari’, ‘dost’, ‘dosti’, will fit the bill for friendship day song and the blog has all the iconic and all-time hit songs that are marked in the ‘Dosti song’ and ‘Friendship song’ category.

August 7th happens to be the birthday of Suresh Wadkar. So we are having a song for Friendship Day in the voice of Suresh Wadkar. It is written by Khurshid Hallauri and composed by RD Burman. It is from the 1989 Vinod Chopra directed ‘Parinda’ a movie whose songs I simply love. The blog has three (there is two-version song) songs from this movie.

Prakashchandra ji had put a query in the comments section of the first song of this film “And Who is Khurshid Hallauri ??, the lyricist, Any one who has information about him, Please share with us.”
This is Avinashji’s reply to that query

“Here is a brief information about Khurshid Hallauri compiled from sources:
Khurshid Hallauri was born in 10 Feb 1938 in Mumbai (?). He is an Indian lyricist writing primarily for Hindi songs in Bollywood films / Albums.
Hallaur or Hallor village is located in Domariyaganj Tehsil of Siddharthnagar district in Uttar Pradesh, India. Domariyaganj is the nearest town to Hallaur village.

There are many of his videos on ‘Youtube’. But I think in movies he has only penned songs for ‘Parinda-1989’.”

Any further information on Khurshid Hallauri is welcome.

The song is filmed on Anupam Kher and Anil Kapoor who are childhood friends and are on the way to meet each other after a gap of some years. When the two were away -Anupam Kher for police training and Anil Kapoor for studies. The second singer for this all male duet is Shailendra Singh.
Thanking all my friends for being in my life and wishing Suresh Wadkar on his birthday.

Rajesh Khanna – The Phenomenon – 10
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Welcome all to this post which again is coming after a ‘long gap’ in this series. Well, I hope to conclude this series too at the earliest possible 🙂 .

In this tenth episode of ‘Rajesh Khanna – the Phenomenon’ we look at Rajesh Khanna movies in the year 1983. This was the year of Rajesh Khanna. He was back on the top with a bang. I don’t know if I should say this that he was reinstated as the ‘King of Bollywood’ once again.

The successes of the movies ‘Avtaar’, ‘Sautan’, and to an extent of the movie ‘Agar Tum Naa Hote’ brought Kaka back into the limelight again. Another movie ‘Nishaan’ starring Kaka which was also released during this year 1983 also performed well at the box-office. Though he had delivered some versatile performances and kept doing different roles during the period 1975 to 1978 he was still far away from that level of success which he had tasted before.

He finally got a big boost in 1983 after his continued good performances, critically acclaimed performances and some commercially hit performances in the previous years i.e. from 1979 to 1982. Hit movies like ‘Amardeep’ (1979), ’Thodisi Bewafaai’ (1980); critically acclaimed movies like ‘Red Rose’ (1980), ‘Phir Wohi Raat’ (1980); successful movies like ‘Bandish’ in 1980; and then multi-starrer hits like ‘Qudrat’ in 1981, and ‘Raajput’, ‘Ashaanti’, and ‘Dharam Kaanta’ in 1982 had finally paid off. With two back-to-back hits – ‘Avtaar’ and ‘Sautan’, where Kaka was the main lead and a semi-hit like ‘Agar Tum Naa Hote’, brought a new life to Kaka’s filmi career or his ‘second innings’ as it is generally said.

In the year 1983 the following five movies of Rajesh Khanna were released. Although the movie ‘Baabu’ was passed by Censor Board in 1983, I remember it was released in theaters in 1985. Knowledgeable readers can throw more light on this.

Sl. No. Movie Title Director Censor Date
01 Agar Tum Na Hote Lekh Tandon 27.10.1983
02 Avtaar Mohan Kumar 27.01.1983
03 Baabu^ A.C. Trilokchander 01.11.1983
04 Nishaan Surendra Mohan 06.01.1983
05 Sautan Sawan Kumar 24.05.1983

Today I present a song from the movie ‘Avtaar’. And since this year 1983 was a special year for Kaka, I would like to present more posts covering songs from this year. Let us see how it works.

‘Avtaar’ made its debut on the blog on 27.08.2012 with this song “Ho Ooperwaale Tera Jawaab Nahin” and I would like to quote below what Atul ji had written about this movie of Rajesh Khanna.

“Avtaar” (1983) was a movie of Rajesh Khanna during the second innings of his acting career when he was no longer a superstar. The movies in which Rajesh Khanna acted during this phase won critical acclaim though even if Rajesh Khanna came nowhere close to regaining his lost crown.

 

‘Avtaar’ was produced and directed by Mohan Kumar for his home productions Emkay Enterprises. It had Rajesh Khanna, Shabana Azmi, Sachin, AK Hangal, Sujit Kumar, Rajni Sharma, Madhu Malini, Yunus Parvez, Shashi Puri, Gulshan Grover, Pichoo Kapoor, Ranjan Grewal, Preeti Sapru and others. Madan Puri had a guest appearance in this movie.

Story of this movie was written by Mohan Kumar and Mushtaq Jalili. Screenplay of this movies was written by Mohan Kumar and dialogues were written by Mushtaq Jalili. Editing of this movie was done by Pratap Bhatt. It was passed by Censor Board on 27.01.1983. HFGK Vol-VI (1981-1985) mentions in the foot note of this movie page that this film was re-certified with English sub-titles by Censor Board on 06.05.1983.

The movie has five songs (including one two-part song) penned by Anand Bakshi and composed to music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. So far two songs from this movie have been posted on the blog. This is the third song from this movie to be posted on the blog.

Today’s song is sung by Suresh Wadkar, Alka Yagnik, and Mahendra Kapoor. This song is picturized on Shashi Puri-Preeti Sapru, Gulshan Grover-Rajni Sharma. Both couples are lip syncing the voices of Suresh Wadkar and Alka Yagnik. Mahendra Kapoor’s voice is used for background score where we can see Rajesh Khanna working hard in his own garage and preparing himself for a greater challenge.

In the movie this song happens when Rajesh Khanna and Shabana Azmi have left their home as their sons have betrayed them. Sachin (Sewak) accompanies them and arranges a temporary shelter for them. Not only this, after listening the conversation between his master and bibi ji he understands what his master needs. He then donates his blood and from the money for the blood, he buys aujaar (tools) for his master so that he can start his own garage. Rajesh Khanna has an uphill task from here to turn the fortunes while his sons are enjoying with their friends. That is where this song takes place, and we have some meaningful lyrics to listen.

That was all around forty years back now.

And if we go back fifty years i.e. to the year 1973 we have the following movies of Rajesh Khanna released in that year.

Blog Day :

5083 Post No. : 17007

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Kabhi Ajnabi Thhe’ (1984).

One song from this movie has been posted on the blog by our Respected Sadanand ji, – “Dil Ki Is Dehleez Tak Jo Mehmaan Ban Ke Aaye“. In his write up Sadanand ji has mentioned Indian cricket and Bollywood both enjoy enormous popularity among Indians”. Yes! Very rightly said by him and this has the case been with most of our country-men and particularly people like me who have grown up in the ‘seventies’. We loved movies and cricket at the same level and they have been an integral part of our ‘life’s journey’.

Today I will add a little to the nostalgia about cricket, a song from a movie where a cricketer was the main lead and memories of the month of June. As I had mentioned earlier ‘June’ has been special month for me for many reasons. It has birth anniversaries and other anniversaries of closed ones and many other important things of my personal journey.

Other than the personal anniversaries we have anniversaries related to cricket 😊, anniversary of my passing out board exam in June 1983 😊, and anniversaries of many movies and memories of many movies released in 1983. We have birth anniversary and remembrance days of many artists etc.

1983 had been a special year for me and particularly the summer of 1983. Every summer brings back many memories of the 1983 summer to me. India won its first Cricket World Cup in June 1983. The movie ‘83’ which was released in December 2021 revived the thrill and nostalgia of the 1983 cricket world cup. I watched this movie twice on its First day (i.e. first Friday) and again on ‘second Friday’ in theater. Recently again I watched this movie on OTT as I was alone at home 😊.

In this article I am not going to discuss the ‘Summer of 1983’ or ‘June of 1983’ anymore. But I will be taking you back to the summer of 1982. Indian cricket team was on tour to England in that summer of 1982.

Yes, I still remember how I jumped out of my bed, when I was listening to the commentary of radio of the second test of India vs England Test match that was played from June 24 to 28 at Manchester during India’s tour of England in 1982. It was 27th of June (since 1994 this day become very special day of my life, and yes, we have Pancham’s birthday on the same day too  😊).

27th June, 1982 was the fourth day of this test and the time in India then must have been around 10 or 10:30 pm (I do not remember it exactly now). I was lying down on bed and listening to the commentary of this match on radio. And I jumped from my bed and sat on my toes in half standing position when the commentator was giving a ball by ball commentary of the over England’s bowler Bob Willis (who was also the captain of England). The batsman on strike was India’s Sandeep Patil. The first ball was hit for a four and then followed four after four…

This was the famous ‘six fours of Sandeep Patil in an over…

Sandeep Patil made his test debut in 1980 and played his last ODI in 1986. He was always in news for his ‘destructive batting’ and ‘other than cricket’ activities. From cricket I always remember his 174 against Australia, then the ‘world cup’, and when he was specially called for a test with Pakistan at Nagpur (Oct’1983) where he landed by a special ‘air-craft’ provided Maharashtra Government.

In between his cricket career he had also done a movie. Today we are going to listen to a song from this movie. Though this movie was not a success it was in news and especially the chemistry between Sandeep Patil and the heroine of the movie Debashree Roy was a talk among our senior friends at that time. I have not watched this movie.

‘Kabhi Ajnabi Thhe’ was directed by Vijay Singh for VS Productions, Bombay. Vijay Singh not only directed this movie, but he was also the producer of this movie and had written dialogues of this movie and had done the editing of this movie too. The star cast of the movie has Poonam Dhillon, Sandeep Patil, Debashree Roy, Ram Sethi, Iftekhar, Ramesh Deo, Seema Deo, Narendra Nath, Birbal, Jugnu, Raj Anand, Chunnu Mehra, Vinay Mandke, Indrajeet Ahluwalia, and others. Sayyad Kirmani, Barrister Sheshrao Wankhede, Prabhu Desai, Vishwas Raut, Ashok Mankad, and Pinki had made a friendly appearance in this movie. Shakti Kapoor had made a guest appearance in this movie.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 25.09.1984.

The movie has seven songs written by two songwriters – Dev Kohli (five songs) and Ravindra Peepat (two songs). Music for this movie was composed by Vijay Singh himself. So, he had donned the ‘hats’ of Producer-Director-Editor-Dialogue writer and Music Director of this movie). Here is the list of songs of this movie.

S.No. Song title Lyricist Singer/s
01 Welcome To The Orkay Nite … Pehli Nazar Mein Pyaar Huaa Dev Kohli Suniti Devi, Vinay Mandke, Aenet, chorus
02 Kabhi Ajnabi Thhe Zameen Aasmaan Ye Ravindra Peepat Lata Mangeshkar, Suresh Wadkar
03 Aa Ja Mere Sanam, Baithhe Hain Raahon Mein Palken Bichha Ke Ravindra Peepat Lata Mangeshkar
04 Dil Ki Is Dehleez Tak Jo Mehmaan Ban Ke Aaye Dev Kohli Lata Mangeshkar
05 Geet Mere Honthhon Ko De Gaya Koi Dev Kohli Lata Mangeshkar
06 Is Dafaa Ham Na Ghataaon Ki Tarah Chhaayenge Dev Kohli Lata Mangeshkar
07 Dil Ki Is Dehleez Tak Jo Mehmaan Ban Ke Aaye Dev Kohli Ashok Khare

HFGK mentions the following names in the singer’s list of this movie i.e. Lata Mangeshkar, Suresh Wadkar, Suniti Devi, Ashok Khare, Vinay Mandke, and Vijay Singh. Today’s song is duet song sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Suresh Wadkar and on screen it is lip synced by Poonam Dhillon and Sandeep Patil.

Lyrics for the today’s songs are by Ravindra Peepat and music is composed by Vijay Singh.

As Sadanandji has mentioned in his post “The only plus point in the movie, if I may say so, is its music”. This movie has nice songs and I like all the songs of this movie except the songs listed at serial no. 1 in the above table which I think I had not listened or I do not remember it. Incidentally the first song from this movie was also posted in the month of June on 18.06.2016 :).

Let us enjoy the today’s song now…
