When I was informed that today (8 May 2023) is World Donkey Day, then my Initial reaction was to have a hearty laugh. I thought that yesterday (7 May ) was World laughter day. How come the next day is an extension of that Laughter day. I in fact thought of writing a post of World Donkey day. I asked Avinash Scrapwala, who sent me lyrics of a song for World laughter day, for a song for World Donkey day. He promptly sent me lyrics of a song.

My original idea was to write a light hearted post on this occasion. But when I carried out some research on the subject, the mood of amusement soon turned into a sombre mood. I realised that making fun of Donkeys was unfair. They have traditionally been given a rough deal in Indian culture which they did not deserve. Even our Hindi film songs where donkeys have been covered, have used donkeys as a matter of ridicule. When I listened to the song sent on this occasion, I was relieved to know that Donkey is not made a subject of ridicule in this song that I was afraid of.

Yesterday while discussing “Laughter” day, I was wondering who are the persons behind such days. I could not get the answer for World Laughter day, but I could readily get the answer for World Donkey day. It is Dr Abdul Raziq Kakar, Low Carbon Livestock Expert, Camelogist & Ethnoecologist. He is behind not just World Donkey day (8 May) but also behind World Camel Day (4 August).

He realized that the hardworking donkey wasn’t being recognized for its efforts in building our society. Their input has improved the quality of life for people all around the world. He started by creating a Facebook group talking about the animal. In 2018, World Donkey Day was officially set up and it’s been celebrated every year since. Its purpose is to spread information about donkeys and how they impact human lives.

Dr Abdul Raziq Kakar is a Pashtun from Khaiber Pakhtunwa area of Pakistan. In his facebook page he describes himself as “a camelist, desert explorer, animal scientist, extensive livestock ecologist, nature lover, traditional knowledge seeker, and camel advocate (for food and agriculture). I love exploring the deserts and understanding the attitude of Mother Earth. I do environmental activism and planting trees on my own.” He did B Sc, M Sc and Ph D from Faislabad University of Pakistan. His PhD subject was Camel Science.

Donkeys, like Human, first originated in Africa and from there they spread world wide. According to wikipedia -“Donkeys were probably first domesticated by pastoral people in Nubia, and they supplanted the ox as the chief pack animal of that culture. The domestication of donkeys served to increase the mobility of pastoral cultures, having the advantage over ruminants of not needing time to chew their cud, and were vital in the development of long-distance trade across Egypt. In the Dynasty IV era of Egypt, between 2675 and 2565 BC, wealthy members of society were known to own over 1,000 donkeys, employed in agriculture, as dairy and meat animals and as pack animals. In 2003, the tomb of either King Narmer or King Hor-Aha (two of the first Egyptian pharaohs) was excavated and the skeletons of ten donkeys were found buried in a manner usually used with high ranking humans. These burials show the importance of donkeys to the early Egyptian state and its ruler.”

It is heartening to know that Egyptians treated Donkeys with respect for their contributions in their lives, even if people of some other countries, including India were rather ungrateful towards them.

Wikipedia further mentions that

By the end of the fourth millennium BC, the donkey had spread to Southwest Asia, and the main breeding centre had shifted to Mesopotamia by 1800 BC. The breeding of large, white riding asses made Damascus famous[citation needed], while Syrian breeders developed at least three other breeds, including one preferred by women for its easy gait. The Muscat or Yemen ass was developed in Arabia. By the second millennium BC, the donkey was brought to Europe, possibly at the same time as viticulture was introduced, as the donkey is associated with the Syrian god of wine, Dionysus. Greeks spread both of these to many of their colonies, including those in what are now Italy, France and Spain; Romans dispersed them throughout their empire.[24]

The first donkeys came to the Americas on ships of the Second Voyage of Christopher Columbus, and were landed at Hispaniola in 1495.[26] The first to reach North America may have been two animals taken to Mexico by Juan de Zumárraga, the first bishop of Mexico, who arrived there on 6 December 1528, while the first donkeys to reach what is now the United States may have crossed the Rio Grande with Juan de Oñate in April 1598.[27] From that time on they spread northward, finding use in missions and mines. Donkeys were documented as present in what today is Arizona in 1679. By the Gold Rush years of the 19th century, the burro was the beast of burden of choice of early prospectors in the western United States. With the end of the placer mining boom, many of them escaped or were abandoned, and a feral population established itself.

As for their use, Wikipedia has great details:

The donkey has been used as a working animal for at least 5000 years. Of the more than 40 million donkeys in the world, about 96% are in underdeveloped countries, where they are used principally as pack animals or for draught work in transport or agriculture. After human labour, the donkey is the cheapest form of agricultural power.[53] They may also be ridden, or used for threshing, raising water, milling and other work.[54] Some cultures that prohibit women from working with oxen in agriculture do not extend this taboo to donkeys.[55]

In developed countries where their use as beasts of burden has disappeared, donkeys are used to sire mules, to guard sheep, for donkey rides for children or tourists, and as pets. Donkeys may be pastured or stabled with horses and ponies, and are thought to have a calming effect on nervous horses. If a donkey is introduced to a mare and foal, the foal may turn to the donkey for support after it has been weaned from its mother.[57]

A few donkeys are milked or raised for meat. Approximately 3.5 million donkeys and mules are slaughtered each year for meat worldwide.[58] In Italy, which has the highest consumption of equine meat in Europe and where donkey meat is the main ingredient of several regional dishes, about 1,000 donkeys were slaughtered in 2010, yielding approximately 100 tonnes (98 long tons; 110 short tons) of meat.[59] Asses’ milk may command good prices: the average price in Italy in 2009 was €15 per litre, and a price of €6 per 100 ml was reported from Croatia in 2008; it is used for soaps and cosmetics as well as dietary purposes. The niche markets for both milk and meat are expanding.[28] In the past, donkey skin was used in the production of parchment.[28] In 2017, the UK based charity The Donkey Sanctuary estimated that 1.8 million skins were traded every year, but the demand could be as high as 10 million.[36]

In China, donkey meat is considered a delicacy with some restaurants specializing in such dishes, and Guo Li Zhuang restaurants offer the genitals of donkeys in dishes. Donkey-hide gelatin is produced by soaking and stewing the hide to make a traditional Chinese medicine product. Ejiao, the gelatine produced by boiling donkey skins, can sell for up to $388 per kilo, at October 2017 prices.

Bulk of donkeys are found is underdeveloped parts of the world where their treatment leaves much to be desired. They are kept under nourised and over worked by humans who themselves are from the lowest strata of society. In developed parts though, they are treated with more dignity.

In developed countries, the welfare of donkeys both at home and abroad has become a concern, and a number of sanctuaries for retired and rescued donkeys have been set up. The largest is The Donkey Sanctuary near Sidmouth, England, which also supports donkey welfare projects in Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, and Mexico.[35]

In 2017, a drop in the number of Chinese donkeys, combined with the fact that they are slow to reproduce, meant that Chinese suppliers began to look to Africa. As a result of the increase in demand, and the price that could be charged, Kenya opened three donkey abattoirs. Concerns for donkeys’ well-being, however, have resulted in a number of African countries (including Uganda, Tanzania, Botswana, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Senegal) banning China from buying their donkey products.

In 2019, The Donkey Sanctuary warned that the global donkey population could be reduced by half over the next half decade as the demand for ejiao increases in China.

Though Pakistan has someone like Dr Abdul Raziq Kakar who was instrumental in establishing World Donkey Day, Pakistan (unlike African countries) hs shown no hesitation in selling its donkeys to China on a big scale as has been reported in media.

We all have noticed that we do not care about our stray animals once they lose their usefulness. I hope India too joins the ranks of developed world and creates sanctuaries for these stray animals. In India, we have seen stray cows leading miserable lives on streets struggling to get nourishment. Under this circumstances, an animal like Donkey faces far more hardships, which it hardly deserves.

As for its nature, wikipedia rightfully mentions that :

Donkeys have a notorious reputation for stubbornness, but this has been attributed to a much stronger sense of self-preservation than exhibited by horses. Likely based on a stronger prey instinct and a weaker connection with humans, it is considerably more difficult to force or frighten a donkey into doing something it perceives to be dangerous for whatever reason. Once a person has earned their confidence they can be willing and companionable partners and very dependable in work.

Although formal studies of their behaviour and cognition are rather limited, donkeys appear to be quite intelligent, cautious, friendly, playful, and eager to learn.

I am quite sure that donkeys are intelligent animals. If we treat them with dignity and respect, I am sure we can get them to respond better to human commands, provided they are reasonable commands. We Indians consider Donkey as well as Owl as synonyms of fool, which is not correct. Donkes are intelligent, so are Owls.

When I checked up, I found that several other animals too have their international days. But most of these days have been pioneered by Americans and perhaps Europeans. In India, we supposedly consider cow a very important animal, but Indians have not pioneered anything like World Cow Day. There is one Cow Appreciation day in USA. India has the largest population of water buffalo. Together, these two creatures have made India world’s largest milk producer. But we do not even have a World Buffalo day pioneered by India. There is one national Buffalo day of USA, that is all. All this speaks very poorly for us Indians who cannot get World Cow Day or World Buffalo day and here I had planned to use World Donkey Day to ridicule the poor creatute. Not any longer. I have begun to look at donkeys with respect. They have played an important role in the advancement of human civilisation. They deserve to be treated with dignity. It is high time we shed our biased and outdated outlook towards animals like Donkeys, Owl, Buffalo etc, which gets reflected in the phrases that our language possess, viz “Gadha kahin ka”, “Ulloo ka pattha”, “bhains ke aage been bajaaye” etc.

The idea behind these days is to create awareness among people. I think I have certainly become more aware about Donkeys thanks to this “World Donkey Day”.

Let us come to the song.

The song under discussion is from an obscure movie called “Koraa Aanchal”(1973)

“Koraa Aanchal”(1973) was directed by Somesh Joshi & V. Mhatre for ‘Mexico Films, Bombay’. The movie had had Dheeraj, Narendra Nath, Snehlata, Laxmi Chhaya, Joginder, Junior Mehmood, Kamini Devi, Indumati, Birbal, Rajaji, Preeti, Vilas, Jerry, Junior Jerry, Nath Sayam and others in it. Actress Veena made guest appearance in this movie.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 02.08.1973.

“Koraa Aanchal”(1973) has six songs composed by Roshanlal Khatri.

The six songs were shared by four lyricist viz. Somesh Joshi, Shadab, Gauhar Kanpuri, and Paras Budhwani (one each). (Credit for two songs has been jointly shared by Shadab+Gauhar Kanpuri and Shadab+Paras Budhwani as mentioned in the foot-note for this movie page in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980).

It is a movie of 1973 that was so far missing from the blog. It is Avinash Scrapwala who was bringing these missing movies of 1973 to the blog, but in this case, he has graciously allowed me to introduce this movie on the blog, for the reason that this song does contain a “Donkey” related song.

This song is sung by Usha Mangeshkar and an unknown child voice. Lyrics are by Somesh Joshi. Music is composed by Roshanlal Khatri.

Only audio of this rare song are available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.

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

With this song, the movie “Koraa Aanchal”(1973) makes its debut in the blog.

Today’s song is from a different type of film….King Kong-1962.

King Kong is actually a fictional Giant Monster resembling a Gorilla. It was created by Merian Cooper. No wonder film wallahs all over the world, especially Hollywood and then Bollywood, were attracted towards King Kong and many films were made on him. The first film King Kong was made in 1933 in Hollywood and released on 7-4-1933. The latest picture King Kong is made in Hollywood in 2022, i.e. last year. It proves that the King Kong magic is still alive !

In India, the first King Kong film was made in 1962 and the second film came in 1986. Today’s film King Kong-1962 has 3 specialities….

1. It was the First film titled King Kong in India.
2. This was Dara Singh’s First film as a Hero and
3. King Kong, the real Hungarian world famous wrestler – whose real name was Emile Czaja (pronounced Za Za) had also acted in this film, as King Kong.

” There is a child in every adult ” said Carl Jung. How true it is, is found from our own thoughts and behaviour. Given a choice, time and freedom, everyone is ready to do things he did as a child. During childhood, one has respect for unusual strength, magic,superpowers and ability to do impossible things. That is why stories of Hanuman and Bheem are popular.
Stunt and action films in olden times and films with a lot of SFX in modern times became popular.We know that we can not do these things, so people see whoever does these. From this thought alone, when stunt and action films started waning, the game of wrestling became popular. Lakhs of people watched the wrestling bouts between Indian and foreign wrestlers.

Would the film industry miss this change in social thinking ? NEVER ! From the early 60’s, Musclemen and wrestlers became Heroes in Hindi films, where the might of Physical strength was the answer to establish social equality and the rule of law. This gave way to wrestlers, Mr. Indias and Bodybuilders like Dara Singh, Randhava, Azad and others to be the central characters of films and this new genre became popular.

Most in demand was of course Dara Singh. The 60’s opened up a new Genre of Films. Films in which muscular He-men ‘acted’. Really speaking, their dialogues were delivered silently by their solid bodies and the fighting they did on the screens. Here were the Heroes who would kill dangerous Jungle animals barehanded, break Iron chains, fight with 10 people at a time, ride horses, swim expertly and overall display their physical might !
The beginning was done in 1958 with ‘Zimbo’, featuring Azad-a Parsee Bodybuilder. That way Dara Singh had entered the films in 1952 with ‘Sangdil’ and he had a wrestling match with Om prakash in ‘Pehli Jhalak’-1954. His first film as a hero -King Kong came in 1962, when he was already 34 year old !

That was a period when the Indian culture of defeats in all possible sports was on the peak and the Indians were looking for a Saviour. In Dara Singh, India found a SuperHero who won not only in India but also in Commonwealth and the World championships. Dara Singh was much more than an Actor. He was a piece of Folklore and he became a social phenomenon soon. He was a hybrid of Myth and Folklore, larger than life evocation of the Desi Hero. He represented the Indian idea of Masculinity-The Mard, a He Man. He had the muscle prowess but no aggression. He evoked security, gentleness and the right kind of patriarchy. He was proud to be a Jat and an Indian.

He was a Pehalwan trained in the Indian style of wrestling. Dara’s victories against King Kong and Zybisco in the late 50s made him a legend. Lakhs of people would gather at the venues of his bouts. He brought wrestling from the Akhadas to the Drawing rooms of Affluent homes. He remained Undefeated in 500+ bouts in his lifetime, winning Indian Championship in 1953, the Commonwealth championship in 1959 and the World Championship in 1968, when he was into acting in Hindi films full fledgedly !

He did roles of Kings, Princes, Rebels, Mutineer, Jungle Boy, Samson, Hercules, Sikander and the greatest role of his life as Hanuman. There may be 300 odd types of Ramayans, but only one Hanuman-Dara Singh. He was, for most people, the embodiment of the Monkey God. Without him the Ramayan was never the same ! Dara Singh, I am sure, would have been the original choice of even Valmiki !!!

Dara Singh was the Indian Superman. Even when he started doing character roles, the Heroes were happy to work with him. In one interview ( he gave interviews very rarely-he used blush too much), he had said,” Out of all my roles, I liked my role in Anand-70, where I was very comfortable doing my real life role-that of a Pahilwan in an Akhada !” He was probably one of the few who worked in A, B and C grade films in his life with equal ease and aplomb. Whether it was Mumtaz or Amitabh, he remained Dara Singh-Rustic, Strong, Indian, Gentle, Protective and Chivalrous.

Dara Singh was born at village Dharmuchak in Amritsar district on 19-11-1928 to Surat Singh and Balwant Kaur. He was married to Surjit Kaur Randhwa on 11-5-1961 and they had a son. From his second marriage he had 3 daughters and 2 sons. At the age of 22, he went to Singapore and won several championships. At 24 he did his first film role in Sangdil-52 and he became a Hero at 34 years of age. He did 122 Hindi films, 22 Punjabi films, besides producing 3 and directing 9 films.

He continued wrestling up to 1970. In 1978, he established his Dara Studios in Mohali, Punjab. His last film came in 2012-“Ata pata lapata”. With Mumtaz he did 16 films out of which 12 were Hit films. In those days, he was paid 4 lakh rupees per film. Dara Singh died on 12-7-2012. His brother Randhwa died on 21-10-2013 ( this news was hardly noticed).

Many Bodybuilders tried to copy Dara Singh. Their films never succeeded because people knew who the original Superman was. Indrajit, Viju Penkar, Hercules, Azad and even Randhwa did few Dara-like films, but they were never accepted by the audience. Dara Singh was Unique. One may think that his films were seen and liked only by the lower strata of society or exclusive C grade film audiences, but it was wrong. Dara Singh films were ‘Super Deluxe’ versions of B and C class films and were liked by people from Top class to bottom class. I was a great fan of Dara films and rarely missed any of them.

Today’s film King Kong-1962, a stunt film, was made by Santosh production, Bombay. It was directed by “Trick Wizard” Cinematographer and editor Babubhai Mistry. The3 songe were written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and the Musical score was by the melody King Chitragupt. The cast of the film was Kumkum, Dara Singh,Chandrashekhar, praveen Chaudhary, kamal mehra, Parshuram, Sheila kashmiri, leela mishra, Uma Dutt and King Kong-the famous wrestler himself.

The story of how Kamal Mehra came into films is very interesting. One day, when the famous producer- director Kedar Sharma was in Delhi in connection with the premier of one of his pictures, he noticed a smart young man in a queue in front of the booking office of the Odeon cinema.

The film maker was struck by the lad’s personality and signed him up on the spot. Young Kamal Mehra then came to Bombay to star opposite Geeta Bali in Kedar Sharma’s ‘Thes’ -49. Subsequently the young man has featured in several films including Dhoon in which he played the villain. Today he plays comedy roles in most of his pictures. (from Filmi Year Book-1958)
He has worked in 50 films. He directed the film Naami Chor-1977 and produced 3 films. His last film as an actor was Jeena hai pyar mein-1983.

The story of the film King Kong-1962 was…..

KING KONG-1962 is easily the best film of Dara Singh from the 60s.It also established him as a popular hero of the B and C grade films.

The story is of the set pattern,In fact most of the DS film stories are so similar in content-give or take few changes like names etc-that one wonders why this dearth of stories for DS films.The simple reason is the audience of DS films never goes to his films for story or histrionic talents of the artists,but to see the fantastic muscle shows and bouts with variety of wrestlers.

In this film,a wicked prime Minister kills the king to usurp his throne.Before he kills them,the queen and her 2 sons escape and stay in a jungle incognito.
Jingu(Dara Singh) grows up to become a very powerful He Man.His brother Badal(Chandrasekhar)becomes a happy go lucky guy.Once DS saves Radhi(Kumkum) and her saheli Chhabili(sheila Kashmiri) from a strange Dinosaur like animal and kills it.Radhi starts loving Jingu and Chhabili loves Badal.

Meanwhile the king wants to send the existing ‘King kong’ title holder to the jungle to kill the animal,but learns about the heroics of Jingu and invites him,with family, to the capital to honour him.When Jingu reaches the Darbar,the king offers him to marry the Princess(Pravin Chaudhary).Jingu refuses.

The existing Kingkong challenges Jingu and there is a bout in which Jingu wins the title of new King kong.The king learns that he is the son of ex-king,so he captures Jingu and family.Jingu breaks the iron chains,destroys the palace and captures the evil King.

The king is punished. Jingu the King Kong is crowned as new King and all are happy-especially Radhi,Badal-Chhabili and the king’s mother for having taken the revenge.

Let us now enjoy the video song from today’s film…..

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1973-12)
——————————————-——————————
(A tribute to Ramesh Deo)

Today(30 January 2023) we introduce the movie “Hum Junglee Hain” from the year ‘1973’ on the blog.

Today 30th January’2023 is the ninety-seventh birth anniversary of yesteryears’ film actor Ramesh Deo.
He was born on 30th January’1926. If he would have been alive today he would have turned ninety-six today. He passed away last year on 2nd February’2022.

In his long career in Hindi and Marathi film industry he acted in many movies, and also in Marathi Stage Plays.

We have fond memories of his roles like Dr Kulkarni in ‘Anand’ and many other character roles and especially the negative roles he played in the Hindi movies.

I am not going into the details of his filmography in this post. Our Respected Shri Sudhir ji had done a detailed post on Ramesh Deo last year which I would like every ‘movie-buff’ should read. This post can be read here.

Ramesh Deo was a part of many movies of the ‘seventies’ when we were growing watching ‘Hindi movies’. He had a played a role in today’s movie, where I guess his role was of a ‘second lead’ in this movie. I have never watched this movie till now and I was not aware about its song till the preparation of this post. Though, I am yet to listen to the other songs from this movie. I had come across this song about a month back and since then I was holding it for presenting it on this occasion today.

On screen it is Ramesh Deo performing on this beautiful song with Vijaya Shree.

Here is a brief about the today’s movie.

“Hum Junglee Hain” was directed by P. Subramaniyam for ‘Rani Productions, Madras’.

This movie was produced by V.C. Jain and G.C. Lalwan.

The cast of this movie included Kiran Kumar, Manish, Sapru, Paintal, Birbal, Aparna Choudhury, Kavish, Shanti, Viraj, Brahmachari, Santosh Kumar, Annamma and others, with Ramesh Deo and Vijaya Shree.

Anand and Cho were introduced in this movie.

This movie was written by C.L. Kavish. Story of this movie was by P. Subramaniyam who also directed this movie.

Hrishikesh Mukherjee had done the supervision for editing of this movie. Editing was done by Gopalakrishnan and Babu.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 22.11.1973.

As the title of this movie suggests it is based on a story involving ‘Jungle’ and the ‘animal’ there. Even there is a song in this movie ‘haathhi ke daant le lo’…
The titles of this movie mention that this movie has been shot in the ‘Jungles’ of ‘Kerala’.

This movie has seven sound tracks including six songs. All the songs for this movie were written by Vedpal Verma who also composed the songs of this movie.
Background music for this movie was composed by Pugazendi.

Here is the detail of songs in this movie :-

SNo Song Title Singer/s
01 Jab se dekha hai tumko Mohd Rafi, Usha Mangeshkar
02 Laa laa …main mehndi rachaaungi Asha Bhonsle
03 Haathhi ke daant le lo P. B. Shrinivas, L.R. Eswari
04 Baaton baaton mein mere dil ko… Mohd Rafi, Usha Mangeshkar
05 Khilaa re … chaand khilaa taare khile Mahendra Kapoor, Usha Mangeshkar, chorus
06 Laa laa … naa mehndi rachaa saki Asha Bhonsle
07 Dance Music

The titles of this movie mentioned Asha Bhonsle, Mohammad Rafi, Mahendra Kapoor, P.B. Srinivas, and L.R. Eswari as playback singers for this movie.

That means the titles of this movie does not mention the name of Usha Mangeshkar as playback singer for this movie.

However HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) gives credit to Usha Mangeshkar for three songs in this movie. Today’s song is one of them.

The audio-video links of the today’s song and HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) mention Mohd Rafi and Usha Mangeshkar as singers for the today’s song.

As mentioned above on screen it is Ramesh Deo and Vijaya Shree performing on this song. I think this song is a nice song and it should be a better-known song. But I do not remember to have heard it even on radio over these years.

With today’s song this movie ‘Hum Junglee Hain-1973’ makes its debut on the blog today.

Let us remember Ramesh Deo and pay him our tributes today and listen to this song picturised on him.

On this date ten years back viz on 23 January 2013, six songs from six movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks

We observe that three movies (out of six movies) whose songs were represented in the blog on this date ten years ago (viz on 23 January 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with three unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today(23 January 2023).

Chronologically the oldest of the three unYIPPEED movies is “Maikhaana”(1967).

“Maikhaana”(1967) was produced and directed by Kidar Sharma for Show People, Bombay. The movie had Bambi, Zeb Rehman, Sailesh Kumar, Madhuraj, R.Sheila, Johnny Whiskey etc in it.

The movie had seven songs in it. Three songs have been covered so far.

Here is the fourth song from “Maikhaana”(1967) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and Usha Mangeshkar. Kidar Sharma is the lyricist. Music is composed by Bhushan.

Only audio of the song is avilable. One can guess that it is picturised as a synchronised dance songs on two female dancers. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.

Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet #(Birthday of Actor – Arun Govil )
——————————————-——————————

Today 12th January’2023 is the sixty-fifth birthday of actor Arun Govil. (He was born on 12th January’1958).

Arun Govil made his debut in Hindi Films in 1977 in the movie ‘Paheli’. However the main hero in this movie was Satyajeet. After ‘Paheli-1977’, he quickly graduated to lead roles in Rajshree Production movies such as ‘Saanch Ko Aanch Nahin’, ‘Saawan Ko Aane Do’ and ‘Radha Aur Seeta’. All these three movies were released in the year ‘1979’. While ‘Raadha Aur Seeta’ didn’t fare well commercially, ‘Saawan Ko Aane Do’ was a highly successful movie of its time and ‘Saanch Ko Aanch Nahin’ was also a decently successful movie though not on the scale of ‘Saawan Ko Aane Do’.

Arun Govil shot to fame with the movie ‘Saawan Ko Aane Do’. While he continued to act in movies further he didn’t get that kind of success as ‘Saawan Ko Aane Do’. It was much later in 1987-1988 with the TV serial ‘Ramayan’ wherein he played ‘Lord Ram’ that he got the same success and fame. Earlier he had appeared in the TV serial ‘Vikram Aur Betaal’ as well.

In between he acted in many movies, mostly as second lead or in supporting roles.

Today on the occasion of the birthday of Arun Govil we will enjoy a song from the movie ‘Saanch Ko Aanch Nahin-1979’.

One well known song from this movie has been posted on the blog for the same occasion in 2018. I had been listening to this song since my growing up days. And I remember this song sung by Shailendra Singh was frequently played on radio then. Though it was a ‘negative song’ in the sense as it speaks of the ‘bebasi’ of the hero 🙂 (as Atul ji had mentioned while presenting this song on the blog in his post here).

While I was aware of this above song I had never attentively listened to the other songs from this movie till today. For this post I checked other songs of this movie and selected a song which has a special ‘touch of music of Raam-Laxman’. (It reminds me of his songs composed for Dada Kondke movies in Marathi.).

None of the songs of ‘Saanch Ko Aanch Nahin-1979’ made it to the annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala of 1979’. And for that matter none of the songs of ‘Saawan Ko Aane Do’ also made it to the ‘top 35 songs of 1979’ (I wonder why?). Though, one song of this movie appeared in the ‘annual Binaca Geetmala list of 1980’ – ‘chaand jaise mukhde pe’ – which stood at no.20 among the top forty songs.

I like the songs of this movie very much and so when I came into contact with this blog I had shared some songs of this movie, while the most known song of this moviewwas already posted on the blog earlier.

“Saanch Ko Aanch Nahin-1979’ was directed by Satyen Bose for ‘Ruchi Films, Bombay’. It was produced by Tarachand Barjatya.

It had Arun Govil, Madhu Kapoor, Urmila Bhatt, Arvind Deshpande, Baby Komal, Om Shivpuri, Gajanan Jagirdar, Amar Shan, Ram Mohan, Mushtaq Merchant, Javed Khan, Birbal, Surendra Kumar, Master Sandeep, C.S. Dubey, Datta Bhatt, Rajan Kapoor, Arjun Bakshi, Brajendra Mohan, Narbada Shankar, Pardesi, Mansaram, Mukund Bannerjee, Radheshyam Dixit, Taneja, Uma Khosla, Madhumita, Hansani Dutt, Veena Kapoor, Raj Verma, Albela and others.

The story idea of this movie was by Sharad Joshi. Screenplay and dialogues of this movie were written by Govind Moonis. Editing was done by Mukhtar Ahmed.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 08.03.1979. (Alphabetically the next movie of this year ‘1979’ was ‘Saawan Ko Aane Do’ which was passed by Censor Board on 31.08.1979. Whereas, the third movie of Arun Govil of this year which was ‘Raadha Aur Seeta-1979’, was passed by Censor Board on 27.06.1979
Music for all the three movies was composed by different music directors i.e. Rajkamal for ‘Saawan Ko Aane Do’, Raam-Laxman for ‘Saanch Ko Aanch Nahin’ and Ravindra Jain for ‘Raadha Aur Seeta’.).

“Saanch Ko Aanch Nahin” has five songs. four were written by Kulwant Jani and one by Ravinder Rawal.
Music for this movie was composed by Raam-Laxman.

Shailendra Sing and Usha Mangeshkar were the two singers whose voices featured in the songs of this movie.

Today’s song is routine ‘question-answer’ or ‘paheli’ (not very difficult one ) song between two lovers which is sung by Shailendra Singh and Usha Mangeshkar. Arun Govil and Madhu Kapoor lip-sync the song on screen.

Let us now enjoy today’s song and wish Arun Govil a ‘very happy birthday and a healthy and peaceful life ahead’ …

Lyrics for today’s song are by Kulwant Jani.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2012-2022) – Song No. 115
————————————————————————————–

Ten years back on this date viz on 17th October 2012, six songs from six different movies were covered on the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
6866 Khuda Rakkhe Aabaad Jeewan Tumhaara Toofaani Tarzan (1937) Movie YIPPEEE’D by now
6867 Ham Thhe Tumhaare Tum Thhe Hamaare Dard (1947) Movie YIPPEEE’D by now
6868 Jai Jai Hey Jagdambe Maata Ganga Ki Lehren (1964) 6 songs covered out of 8 by now

6871 Teri Hai Zameen Tera Aasmaan The Burning Train(1980) Movie YIPPEEE’D by now

One can observe that four movies (out of six) have since been YIPPEEE’D in the blog. In fact, two movies got YIPPEEE’D on that date ten years ago.

That leaves us with two movies that are not yet YIPPEEE’D and therefore eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (17 october 2022).

‘Ganga Ki Lahren’ (1964) is one movie eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today.

‘Ganga Ki Lahren’ was produced and directed by Devi Sharma for Janta Chitra, Bombay. The movie had Dharmendra, Kishore Kumar, Kumkum, SK Prem, Brahm Bhardwaj, Raani, Rehman, Nazir Hussain, Master Shahid, Asit Sen, Azra, Aruna Irani, Jankidass, Mridula Rani, Hari Shivdasani, Tuntun, Savithri Ganeshan (Wife of Southern Hero Gemini Ganeshan) etc. in it.

‘Ganga Ki Lahren’ has eight songs in it. Six songs have been covered so far.

Here is the seventh song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Usha Mangeshkar and chorus. The song is picturised as a beggar song on Master Shahid and several child artists. Savitri Ganeshan (South)is also visible in the picturisation. Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by Chitragupta.

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

इक पैसे का है सवाल
जीएं तेरे बच्चे माई
जीएं तेरे बच्चे बाबा
इक पैसे का है सवाल
जीएं तेरे बच्चे माई
जीएं तेरे बच्चे बाबा
थे हम भी किसी के लाल
जीएं तेरे बच्चे माई
जीएं तेरे बच्चे बाबा

तेरे लाल को मूंगा मोती चाहिए
अपने बचपन को इक रोटी चाहिए
तेरे लाल को मूंगा मोती चाहिए
अपने बचपन को इक रोटी चाहिए
ना चाँदी ना सोना
ना मांगे दौलत माल
जीएं तेरे बच्चे माई
जीएं तेरे बच्चे बाबा
इक पैसे का है सवाल
जीएं तेरे बच्चे माई
जीएं तेरे बच्चे बाबा

हम भी खेले हैं सपनों के गाँव में
हम भी सोये हैं ममता की छाँव में
हम भी खेले हैं सपनों के गाँव में
हम भी सोये हैं ममता की छाँव में
अब किस्मत के मारे
हम किसको सुनाएँ हाल
जीएं तेरे बच्चे माई
जीएं तेरे बच्चे बाबा
इक पैसे का है सवाल
जीएं तेरे बच्चे माई
जीएं तेरे बच्चे बाबा

दर दर ठोकर खाएं रस्ता भूल के
छोटे छोटे पाँव भरे हैं धूल से
दर दर ठोकर खाएं रस्ता भूल के
छोटे छोटे पाँव भरे हैं धूल से
कोई नहीं जो धोये
ये मैले मैले गाल
जीएं तेरे बच्चे माई
जीएं तेरे बच्चे बाबा
इक पैसे का है सवाल
जीएं तेरे बच्चे माई
जीएं तेरे बच्चे बाबा
थे हम भी किसी के लाल
जीएं तेरे बच्चे माई
जीएं तेरे बच्चे बाबा
