We in this blog have achieved several milestones, but this milestone is something in its own league. Today we are celebrating a humongous individual milestone. With this post, Lata Mangeshkar reaches 4000 songs as a playback singer in this blog !

More than one decade ago, She had touched 1000 songs in the blog as the blog itself touched 3000 songs. Imagine, today she alone touches 4000 songs in the blog.

I had run a series on Lata Mangeshkar’s songs (yearwise) in the blog. That series, which ran every monday for 63 weeks (viz for one year and three months). In that series we had an indepth look at the list of songs that Lata Mangeshkar had sung in Hindi movies.

There are movies that are well made with good story line. I, who considered myself as a moviegoer with highbrow taste ( 🙂 ) liked such movies. For example, I liked movies like Sholay, Deewaar, Don etc. Then there are movies with silly story lines that low brow audiences liked but I did not.

Some of these silly story line movies went on to become big hits whereas some movies flopped.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # # Dhan Daulat-1980#
——————————————

Today’s song is from the ‘1980’ movie ‘Dhan Daulat’. I never watched this movie in those growing years of mine. And later also I did not get any opportunity to watch it on video or elsewhere. I had noted that this movie was made available on an OTT platform, may be few months back, but now it has been removed from there due to ‘rights’ issue. Moviegoers and music lovers are aware of the most popular song from this movie i.e. the song ‘jeenaa kyaa ajee pyaar binaa’. I too remember to have frequently heard this song either on radio or loudspeakers then. From the remaining songs of this movie the song ‘ho jaaye phir us din kaa jo waadaa hai’, & ‘khudkushi karne dil mein iraadaa kar liya maine’ are also familiar to me. I became aware of the song ‘shikwaa na tumse koi’ when it was posted on the blog under the blog ten-year challenge in 2020. The fifth song from this movie is the song under discussion. I do not remember to have listened to this song before corona years 2020. I have been listening to this song many times ever since and I ave like this song very much.

Today (26 January 2024) is Republic Day of India.

India became a republic on 26 January 1950. That was easily a red letter day in the history of Modern India. It was on this day that India decided to be a country that would be a democracy where each citizen, irrespective of his caste, creed, religion, gender, economic status etc would enjoy equality without discrimination. The country would be governed according to the acts of Indian constitution that was adopted on this date.

Today’s song is from a ‘social’ film called ‘Captain Kishore’ (1957).

I was wondering what was the basis of calling this film a ‘social’ film, because it was clearly a stunt/costume film having the usual King- Queen-Evil Vazir/Evil Senapati story. I have seen this film and also give its story for you today. The Wadia Movietone was famous for making action/stunt/costume films, since the early 30’s decade The owners of Wadia split in 1942 on the issue of whether to continue making the action/stunt films. The younger brother Homi Wadia was in favour of making stunt films, while the elder brother JBH Wadia wanted to make social films, because he was seeing impending sunset on stunt films in the near future, and hence wanted to make social films on priority to survive.

Mega milestone.
Mega event.
And a Mega Rare song being discovered.

Given the age of online proliferation and sharing, it is a great event that one chances to discover a film song that one does not even begin to imagine may even exist.

Of course yes, the song is identified and listed in the Geet Kosh. But as is the case with the majority of the listed songs in the 1931-40 volume of Geet Kosh (Volume I), we do not even pause to glance at the list of songs on page after page, unless we come across a fuller body of description for a film of that era. And verily so. Out of the close to 9,900 hundred songs listed for 930+ films that are slated for that decade, sadly enough, less than 1,200 are actually available at this time. That is the state of affairs we have at this time.

I had never imagined that in my life I would ever write 1000 articles on old films and music. When I retired from my regular service in 1998, I had many offers from the Pharma Industry, because of my 35 years’ successful track record. I had joined the Pharma giant – Glaxo Laboratories as a Medical Representative and retired as the General Manager – Marketing.
