Hullo Atuldom

Hope all are fine after a week of festivities and excitement. This morning I got a smart message on WhatsApp: “Tyohaar ke baad ghar mein Lakshmiji aaye na aaye, shareer mein Ganeshji zaroor aa jaate hai”- I am sure, many are facing this syndrome as well as a lot of lethargy after the bout of eating sweets and savouries. So, we are going to have a song that will compel us to wear our dancing shoes, shake a leg etc. This should help to shake away the extras that have gathered in our system, in this last week.

The song is from the opening years of the ’80s when songs with Disco music was a rage. Songs from “Karz” (1980) music by Laxmi-Pyare, “Qurbani” (1980) music by Kalyanji Anandji (remember ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’), “Yaarana” (1981) music by Rajesh Roshan, and a few more movies were already popular. Bappi Lahiri, who was associated with movies like “Aap Ki Khaatir” (1977), “Aangan Ki Kali” (1979), “Ahsaas” (1979, having one disco based song roothho na roothho na) and “Agreement” (1980) and many more successful albums came up with songs of different genres in “Armaan” (1981).

There were the philosophical songs jeewan mitaanhai deewaanapana and ‘saare jahan ki amaanat hai yeh’; as well as a few romantic and folksy songs. And then there were songs with Goan musical beats which were a must-play in all the discotheques of that period. “Rambha ho ho ho” with Usha Uthup singing for both the ladies – Kalpana Iyer and Prema Narayan, and “Aah meri jaisi haseena ka dil” which was sung by Sharon Prabhakar and Bappi Lahiri– two songs which have not been forgotten till date, at least by fans who were teenagers then.

8th November was the 74th birthday of the singer with a unique voice quality- Usha Uthup. And she has made a place for herself in the hearts of film music lovers all over the world, from the first time she was heard in “Hare Rama Hare Krishna” in 1971. That makes it fifty long years in public eye. She may not be in a position to say that she has 100s and 1000s of songs to her name; but then that was because of her different voice which may not have suited the kind of songs emoted by the female leads of our movies. But the kind of songs that she has rendered cannot be sung by anyone else. She can sing in 16 different languages and has also had screen time in a few movies. The longest being in a Malayalam movie where she played mother to Mammoothy. She was also seen in ‘Bombay To Goa’, ‘Hattrick’ etc. in song situations. Wishing this hyper-energetic lady who dazzles her stage shows and public appearances in her grand sarees, bangled wrists and brilliant Bindis –all health and happiness forever.

This song written by Indeevar has Deepak Parasher, Shakti Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor and Prema Narayan and Kalpana Iyer partaking in the Goan Carnival fest.
Let us also enjoy the song

Blog Day : 3766 Post No. : 14739

8th November, this year (2018) was bang in the middle of the festivities connected with the big Indian festival of lights Deepawali, which is said to symbolize Rama’s return to Ayodhya after completing the stipulated 14 years of exile. It is said that since the day he returned was the day of Amavasya whole of Ayodhya was lit up to pave the way for the Lord. Another belief is that it marks the vanquishing of the demon Narkasura by goddess Kali and so one of the five days of festivities is called “Kali Chaudas” or “Narka Chaturdashi”.

Whatever the belief it is a five day long festival of lights and joy and celebrations in most parts of India. So here is wishing the Atulsongaday followers or Atulites as I like to call the followers a Happy Deepawali and Prosperous New Year. Some parts of the country will be celebrating “Bhai Dooj” or “Bhau Beej” on 9 November. Happy Bhai Dooj too.

The spirit of the festival is such that I found that the blog has been getting one-song-per-day for a few days now. I myself visited the blog after 3 days today. But the festival was not the only reason for my absence, my all-time favourite grudge about Bangalore had also played a part for my absence.

In fact I heard the Vividh Bharati too after quite some days and it was playing all songs of Usha Uthup in the 9:30 p.m. program. On googling I realized that it was Usha Uthup’s birthday on 8 november 2018.

She has turned 71, time has really flown since she was first sang under RD Burman’s baton in the 1971 for “Hare Rama Hare Krishna” and followed it up with “Bombay to Goa” in which she also made an appearance on-screen. She has an unusual voice which is normally not used for the female lead but more for dance numbers. But our legs move automatically to songs sung by her whether it is “one two cha cha cha”; “hari om hari”; “rambha ho”; “doston se pyar kiya”; “pyar karna toh zaroori hai”; or “I love you, kya kushi hai kya hai gham”. I find that the stats page shows that we have “6” songs of Usha on the blog (I could locate only 3). That is surprising considering that many of her songs were popular and still are popular.

The song with this post is another such song. It is from the 1978 released Krishna Shah directed multi star-casted “Shalimar”. The songs were written by Anand Bakshi and music was R. D. Burman’s. Shalimar’s LP contains 10 songs of which 3 were instrumental, one was a multi-version song. we have three songs from the movie on the blog, here is the next. It is a song which is filmed in a dance school where Aruna Irani is shown giving training for “Cha Cha Cha”. There is also a gambling den attached to the school where we see a sardar (Premnath) squandering his wealth, suffering a heart attack and being assisted by Dharamendra. It is from here that the story of the movie begins.
