The song under discussion is from the movie ‘Hari Darshan-1972’. It was a mythological movie.

I enjoyed watching mythological movies during my childhood, both in colour as well as black-white (most of them used to be black and white). Mythological movies used to faascinate me.

However I have no recollections of watching ‘Hari Darshan-1972’ dring its first run. But I remember the songs of this movie that were ofen played on loudspeakers during festivals. Its songs were ofen heard on radio as well.

I have presented two songs from this movie in the past . This song, the third song from the movie being presented in the blog was a familiar song to me, but I was not aware till recently that this song had three versions. I was only aware of Lata Mangeshkar version of this song.

In this post we pay our tributes to actor Dharmendra who passed away yesterday on 24th November 2025 at the age of 89 years.

Everybody has to leave this mortal world. Dharmendra was ailing for last several days so everybody feared the inevitable. He has left this mortal world but memories of his films and the songs from his films will remain with the film goers who watched his films. Moreover his fans also admire him as a nice human being that he came across as in many of his interviews and public appearances.

The year 2025 is ending soon, and a quarter of the 21st century is over. This year has gone by very fast for me, with so much travel. Too much travel in fact that I have lost count. 6 weddings in close family and only one of them in greater Mumbai, which is a record.Mullah ki daud masjid tak, so we travel to Belgaum every time. Add to that visit to UK, plus a visit to Nanded. Another visit to Nanded is due before the end of the year. A 2 day trip to the good old Bangalore. See I forgot the Pune visit for yet another wedding in this melee. Throw in a combining of holiday/relaxation stops to Lonavla and Mahabaleshwar, here you have a full calender.

Hullo Atuldom

The serial “Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey” was a serial I loved watching for its assorted characters, that lived in a apartment complex of North Mumbai. One of the characters, who happened to be a neighbour, friend & almost like family to the central (to the plot) Wagle Family- Daksesh Joshipura who is the secretary of the society. He had a one-liner every time he appears on the screen:- “I am Daksesh Joshipura, honourable secretary of the society & 1st Citizen of Sai Darshan Heights”.

I am sure the followers of the blog maybe wondering where I am leading to.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, there were some Hindi films which were labelled as ‘parallel cinema’, ‘new wave cinema’ or ‘art cinema’ when they were released. The films included ‘Bhuvan Shome’ (1969) by Mrinal Sen, ‘Uski Roti’ (1969) by Mani Kaul, ‘Saara Aakaash’ (1969) by Basu Chatterjee, ‘Maya Darpan’ (1972) by Kumar Sahni, ‘Garam Hawa’ (1974) by M S Sathyu and ‘Ankur’ (1974) by Shyam Benegal. Among these films, there was a film titled ’27 Down’ (1973) about which I had a faint memory. Few days back, the name of this film came back to my mind when I read an article with a curiosity-creating caption, ‘A class IV employee, his only film won two National Awards, died at 35……. Who was Awtar Kaul?’ in The Economic Times, September 22, 2025. He was none other than the director of ’27 Down’ (1973).

Subsequently, I read two more articles about Awtar Kaul – one in ‘Chinar Shade’ by Avtar Mota and another in ‘The Wire’ by his nephew, Vinod Kaul. Surprisingly all these articles appeared during 2024-25.

Incidentally, ’27 Down’ (1974) was screened at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa in 2024 to commemorate 50 years of the film’s release. Perhaps these articles appeared around that time as tributes to Awtar Kaul on 50th year of his passing away on July 20, 1974.

‘Mehndi’ (1983) was produced by Dinesh Kumar and was directed by Asit Sen. The cast included Vinod Mehra, Ranjeeta, Raj Babbar, Tamanna, Raj Bothara, Madan Puri, Usha Kiran, Seema Deo, Meena T, Mohan Choti, Birbal etc. Bindiya Goswami and Sh akti Kapoor made their special appearances in the film. This was Asit Sen’s last Hindi film as a director.

There are confusion galore about two Asit Sen’s works in Hindi films on the internet. Suffice to say here that Asit Sen, the director of the film under discussion did not act in any Hindi film. He directed his first Hindi film ‘Mamta’ (1966) while Asit Sen, the comedian/character actor has also directed only two Hindi films, ‘Parivaar’ (1956) and ‘Apraadh Kaun’ (1957). Hence, there is a clear demarcation of their work as director in terms of the timeframe. Unfortunately, Asit Sen, the director is hardly remembered today who had directed some Hindi classic films such as ‘Mamta’ (1966), ‘Anokhi Raat’ (1968), ‘Khaamoshi’ (1969), ‘Safar’ (1970), ‘Annadaata’ (1972) and some Bengali films. Even if he is remembered, he is often mistaken with Asit Sen, the comedian. For example, an article in ‘The Hindu’ which appeared on April 02, 2010, under ‘Blast From The Past’, calls Asit Sen, the director of ‘Mamta’ (1966) as ‘a disciple of Bimal Roy’. Surely the writer has confused with Asit Sen, the comedian who had worked with Bimal Roy as his assistant director for his films of 1950s.
