#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
—————————————————————————

Today’s song is a rare song, but it surely deserved to be a well-known song, but it was not destined to be so, seeing that the movie it was meant to belong to could not be released. The title of this movie is ‘Hamaari Kahaani’ from the decade of 1970s. Sources have mentioned the year of this movie as 1973.

‘Hamaari Kahaani’ or ‘Hamaari Kahaanee-1973’ was directed by B.V. Algikar for ‘Navprakash Chitra, Bombay’. Geet Kosh Vol-V mentions the cast of this movie as Master Shripad, Baby Ragini, Master Vinayak, Master Kiran, Sulochana, Abhi Bhattacharya, Dhoomal and others. The movie page for this movie lists three songs for this movie, leaving space for possibility of more songs in this movie. Two songs are written by Asad Bhopali, and one song is written by Jaan Nisar Akhtar. Music for this movie is composed by C. Arjun. The singers for this movie are Usha Mangeshar, Manna Dey and Mohd Rafi.

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep- 41)
—————————————

The Holy Festival of Chhathh Pujaa is going on at present. This festival is dedicated to ‘Chhathh Maiyyaa’ (Mother Chhathh) and ‘Surya Devta’ (Lord Sun). ‘Chhathh Pujaa’ is one of the biggest festivals of India which was confined to the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and some parts of Uttarakhand in the past. But nowadays now it is observed all over the country whereever people from these states have migrated for job and cannot make it to their native places. Moreover those who have settled elsewhere in India have started to observe it in their new residences instead of going back to their original native places on this occasion.

Today’s song is from the film Mehndi-1958.

In the year 1899, a famous writer of those times-Mirza Hadi ‘Ruswa’ wrote a novel “Umrao Jaan Ada” on the life and times of a famous Tawaif and poet of Lucknow. There is a dispute whether it was a real or a fictitious character. There have been arguments on both sides giving questionable bits of evidence. Whatever it was, the novel attracted attention of the public and the critics over the next few decades.

The famous Alfred Drama Company of the early 20th century, made it into a drama and it too became popular. During the silent era attempts were made to make it into a film on her, but it did not happen. However, after the advent of the Talkie films, many variations of this story came up and some films were made on it. But due to lack of information, we do not have the details.

Hullo Atuldom

18th August 2025. It is the 92nd birthday (completes 91) of a most revered lyricist/ poet, writer and film director of Hindi Films. He was born Sampooran Singh Kalra in a Sikh family in the small town of Dina (now in Pakistan). Deeply engrossed in literature and poetry right from his school days, he avidly listened to Hindustani music, attended concerts by Pt. Ravi Shankar and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.

His family moved to Delhi after Partition, but Sampooran moved to Bombay to pursue his ambition to become a writer. He started working as a mechanic in a garage and wrote poetry in his free time under the pen name (first) Gulzar Deenvi & later on (simply) Gulzar. All this is public knowledge.

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-33)
—————————–

I have been presenting songs penned by Kavi Pradeep which are yet to be posted here on this blog. We are all aware that Kavi Pradeep mostly wrote songs for movies from ‘mythological genres’. In such movies there are songs related to ‘mythological stories’ and ‘incidents’ which Kavi Pradeep brought to us in lyrics form with nuances such that one can easily visualize the incident happening in front of him/her. Picturisation of such songs is also a treat to watch. Readers might be remembering the recent song about ‘Krishna-Sudama meet’ which was posted here on the ‘world friendship day’. This song is a wonderful song both in terms of lyrics and picturisation.

Today, Janmashtami– the birth festival of Lord Krishna, is being celebrated all over the country. On this occasion I am presenting a song which is about the baal leelaa(s)’ of Lord Krishna. This song is sung by Usha Mangeshkar and chorus and the picturisation of this song has several child artistes and female artistes performing on it. The location of this song and the visuals around are lovely and they help in bringing to us the childhood innocence, playfulness and fun that the friends of Krishn and the Gopees are having.

YouTube is an American social media and online video sharing platform owned by Google. It is an amazing tool that helps us in our blogging expedition. Based on our previous search history, it keeps suggesting links to videos.

That means, for followers of ATULSONGADAY, YouTube will keep suggesting videos of Hindi Fillum Sangeet. The suggestions may also be based on any particular actor, movie or artist, specially if we have looked up for songs of the concerned artist.

So, as I was browsing through YouTube yesterday, I came across a song which had Sunny Deol trying to shake a leg in tandem with Sridevi for a song that was playbacked (I am sure there is no such word in the English dictionary) by Suresh Wadkar and Asha Bhosle. It had Meenakshi Seshadri & Anil Kapoor, standing among the people who were watching the proceedings. On looking up for details, on our blog of course, I found that it has found its place on the blog in 2022 with this post by Avinashji.

Today’s song is from a C grade stunt film Khooni Khazana-1965. The film was directed by A.Shamshir and the music was by S.Kishen. The cast included Vijaya Chaudhari ( real name Qurasha Begum), Sudhir, Bhagwan, Madan Puri, Shaikh Mukhtar, Bela Bose, Jeevan Kala, Heera Sawant and many other small-time actors. This C grade film was among the last few stunt action films, which were on their way to the end of their era.

I was a great fan and admirer of C grade action/stunt/costume films from my young age. The decorative sets and the unusually long, shining and attractive costumes in the films, the daredevil stunts and the hand or the sword fighting in these films impressed me. Unfortunately, as I grew older, the number of such films was reducing and by the time I almost stopped running after films by the 1970 beginning, C grade action, stunt and Costume films almost disappeared from the theatres. Perhaps their regular audience thinned out or the stuntmen became old or producers of such films turned to other more respectable Genres. Whatever the reason, reality was that the end of such films had occurred !

Hello everyone!

It has been SUCH a long time since my last post here that I’ve forgotten how to even write posts.

So this one will most probably be a short one, unlike my past marathon posts.
I say “most probably” because I might intend a short post, but once I start writing, my thoughts end up having a life of their own. I would be an editor’s worst nightmare. 😊

Anyway, let’s see how it goes.

Ok, so the main reason for this post is a sort of coincidence that I’m taking as a sign to make me write.
