Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 19
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
There is a film from 1969 – ‘Tumse Achhaa Kaun Hai”. This film has a classic song, Rafi Sb singing for Shammi Kapoor, that has not yet made it to this blog. (Yes, I am surprised too 🙂 ). The mukhdaa of the song is an animated yet a resigned expression of helplessness – so many ladies to be loved, whom should I love – “Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon, Kaise Pyaar Karoon”. The situation is not too different, when I am trying to select a song for posting here. Atul ji mentions a specific requirement, and as I sit down to choose a song according to that, I find myself in the same quandary – “Kis Ko Post Karoon, Kaise Post Karoon – Ye Bhi Hai, Wo Bhi Hai. . .”.

Bombay Gangout – Part 5
The Day After.
The next day to the gangout meeting, we had plans for a visit to our dear Arun ji. As the readers may be aware, Arun ji had not attended the gangout meeting. The personal family circumstances in the recent past, had been exigent to the extreme. His life partner had passed away just 10 days prior to the scheduled meeting. We had decided to go ahead with the meeting, sans his participation.

The twinkling eyes and the arresting smile get to your heart when she sings “Kabhi Aar Kabhi Paar Laaga Teer e Nazar”. An accomplished dancer, who has the capability to take a song, many levels higher. Witness that in “Diya Na Bujhe Ri Aaj Hamaara” (‘Son of India’, 1962), “Dagaa Dagaa Wai Wai Wai” (‘Kaali Topi Laal Roomaal’, 1959), “Tera Jalwa Jisne Dekha Wo Tera Ho Gaya” (‘Ujaala’, 1959), “Tera Teer O Bepeer Dil Ke Aaram Paar Hai”, (‘Sharaarat’, 1959), “Madhuban Mein Radhika Naache Re” (‘Kohinoor’, 1960), “Rang Rangeela Saanwra Mohe Mil Gayo Jamna Paar” (‘Baarood’, 1960), “Ab Na Chhupo Re Chhalia” (‘King Kong’, 1962), “Kaanha Jaa Re Teri Murli Ki Dhun” (‘Tel Maalish Boot Polish’, 1962), “Zulmi Hamaare Saanwariya Ho Ram” (‘Mr X In Bombay’, 1964), “Tujhse Wo Neha Lagaaye” (‘Shreeman Funtoosh’, 1965), “Door Kahin Door Hamen Le Chalo Sanam” (‘Ek Sapera Ek Lutera’, 1966), “Main To Khadi Re Khadi Re, Aankh Ladi Re Ladi Re” (‘Sab Ka Ustad’, 1967), “Mera Naam Hai Chameli, Main Hoon Maalan Albeli” (‘Raja Aur Runk’, 1968), and many more. Once again request Atul ji to create a new category – ‘Kum Kum Dances’.
Greetings to Kum Kum on her birth anniversary today (22nd April).

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 18
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Bring up and test this, works every time. Looking for a good melodious song that will strum the strings of the heart – just pick an obscure film from 1950s or 60s. If the lyricist and music director and the singer(s) are from the proverbial ‘lesser known’ category, all the better. Just run through the song list of such a film. I promise you will find a memory tickler hidden in there, which will make you exclaim – “achhaa, ye gaana is film ka hai” (“Aha, so this song comes from this film”). I have tried this many times; always been a success.
Take this film, and this song. I have wonderful humming memories of this song from the radio listening days. For all this time, I was unaware of the details. Searching for songs by Chitragupt, I ran into this a few days ago, and had that ‘Aa Haa’ reaction. Wow, so this is it.

Not many debuts can be better than starting with the song “Afsaana Likh Rahi Hoon. . .” (‘Dard’, 1947). His innings lasted for 23 years. A long time in which he could not even complete a century of films. He has written about 750 songs in 89 films across his career. Typecasting, or more correctly to state, pairing groupism was responsible for this state of affairs. All along his career, his partnership with music directors remained primarily confined to just three – Naushad Sb, Ghulam Mohammed Sb and Ravi. His films with other music directors are really few and far between.

Seven years, nineteen films, a celebration wedding that was the talk of the tinsel town, and then handing over the torch to the next generation. That about sums up the career of the once beauty star – Babita. Greetings to her on the 67 birthday today (20th April).
The short lived career, however, was a scintillating one. She appeared opposite to practically all the top heroes in the industry at that time, and did a number of musical romantic films, as could have be the draw for the young and beautiful lady. It is known that GP Sippy first offered the role of Sheetal, the young widow with child, for his upcoming film ‘Andaz’ (1971) to Babita. After some in-family discussions, she turned down the role, possibly considering that it might work to be a negative for her career. Another youngster, Hema Malini, took on the role. Hema Malini had made her debut in 1969, three years after Babita’s debut (‘Dus Lakh’, 1966). Both are of the same age though, having the same year of birth. The trajectories of their subsequent careers and lives, tell their own stories.

Mention of RK Films brings to mind the unbroken partnership of 22 long years between the music director duo of Shankar Jaikishan and the songwriters Shialnedra and Hasrat Jaipuri. Starting from ‘Barsaat’ in 1949, and all the way up to ‘Mera Naam Joker’ in 1971, this quartet ruled the music and songs at RK Films, collaborating for every RK film produced during this period (with the exception of Shailendra, who passed away in 1966).
