Today (14 july 2015) is the 40th death anniversary of Madan Mohan (25 june 1924- 14 july 1975). Madan Mohan made his debut as a music director in 1950 with “Aankhen”(1950). He composed some 630 plus songs in 90 plus movies in his 25 year long career. It includes movies whose music were released after his death. I have a detailed moviewise breakup of all Madan Mohan songs which I will discuss sometime in future. The blog at present has 461 Madan Mohan compositions out of 630, so we have another 170 odd Madan Mohan compositions to go.
As a tribute to Madan Mohan, here is a song from “Anjaam”(1952). This song is sung by Hamida Bano who was predominantly a singer from the 1940s. This song sounds very much like a song from 1940s.

Today we are going to discuss about a song and the concerned film, which turned out to a great disappointment, despite boasting of all the ingredients that were required to make it a hit film.
The film Garam Coat-55 was made in a time when Nehru’s socialism was having a great influence on the film industry. Many IPTA workers faced the dilemma of choosing between Stark Communistic approach and socialistic pattern advocated in India. The major difference was that Nehru’s socialism never detested private business or the big private industry, but certainly a concern was voiced for the ‘Have Nots’.

Basics of classical music-part V

(Genres of classical compositions and gharanas)

Several regular contributors of this blog have their own series of songs going on in the blog. Some of these series are like express trains that appear at fixed intervals. On the other hand, there are some series that are more like special trains that have no fixed schedules and they run at irregular intervals. Readers may or may not follow these series, but these series mean something to their authors themselves.
It turns out that I too have one such series of articles that appears irregularly. This series is called “Series on Basics of music”. Four articles have so far appeared in the series. Part I appeared on 21 may 2015 and the fourth part was on 17 june 2015.

The stock photograph that is available shows a very suave and handsome Sikh gentleman. The beard is neatly packed, the moustache is starched razor sharp, and the turban is a perfect construct. Six feet plus, with a very fair skin – all attributes put together make up a very attractive and becoming personality. By his own admission, he labels himself to be a romantic – and that he had to be in love to be able to create music. The others called him a “ladies man”.

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 23
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
‘Aankhen’ was released in 1950. Most people remember it for being the debut film of music director Madan Mohan. Amongst all the wonderful songs that caught the attention of the listeners, there is this lovely melody in the voice of Meena Kapoor, that really steals away your heart – “Mori Atariya Pe Kaaga Bole, Mora Jiya Doley, Koi Aa Rahaa Hai”. For me, it is this one song that makes this film and its music memorable. This is one of the two songs that Bharat Vyas wrote for this film.

What do film stars do when they retire or stop working ?
Actually, the artistes can be divided into two parts. One, those who stop working voluntarily or retire by choice and Two, those who stop getting work and are compelled to retire. Of course the first category has definite plans post retirement, so they do what was planned. However those who stop getting work or are compelled to call it a day have either to fall back on their savings or do something else to survive.

Today’s song under discussion is “Bol bol bol bol My little dove” from the film Baap Bete-59. The music Director for this film is Madan Mohan.
MADAN MOHAN. An Unique composer. A thorough Gentleman. Lata Mangeshkar had called him “The King of Ghazal”. He created masterpieces in her voice, which set high standards in films. Madan Mohan, however,could never combine Class with Mass appeal unlike other composers like Naushad, S D Burman or Roshan or Shanker – Jaikishen.
