In the earlier post today, I had mentioned about the somewhat not-so-well-organized collection that is sitting on my hard drives. There is so much that I still have to explore myself. Even I myself am not fully aware of all the items that are sitting in there. It is an unsavory situation, in case I have to search for something and I do not know whether I will find it there. At other times, it is also a lot of fun, to be able to locate and bring out items that I remember or that other friends have requested for. (Please do not think I am trying to impress that my collection is exhaustive. It is not. 😉 )

——————————————
Song no. 4 in this series is again a duet, but this time it is Jagjit Kaur who is singing with Rafi. This is from the film ‘ Mera Bhai Mera Dushman ‘ (1967). I had never heard of this film. The lyrics are written by Kaifi Azmi and the composer is Khaiyyam. Now, about them I have definitely heard. 🙂

Raag Maalikaa in Hindi Films – 5
=====================
‘Sau Saal Baad’ of 1966 was an unsuccessful ghostly mystery film, produced by B K Dubey. The star cast included Feroz Khan, Kumkum, Manmohan Krishna, Rajendra Nath, D K Sapru etc. Lyrics were by Aanand Bakshi and the superb music by Laxmikant Pyarelal. The music duo, with good knowledge of classical music composed this RaagaMaala, one of the best to be composed in Hindi Films. Singers Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar were unmatched as they always were, whenever singing of classical songs in HFM was concerned. Anand Bakshi provided beautiful typical traditional type of lyrics for those four compositions in Raagas Dhanya Dhaivat (a rare Raaga), Abhogi, Megh Malhar and Basant Bahar. The impressive violin piece after the first part, was played by Pt. Husnalal, who gave hit music in many Hindi films of Forties and Fifties with his brother, a team well-known as Husnalal-Bhagatram.

Most artists are typecast – very strictly, very narrowly, and sometimes one would say, very harshly too. The first level of typecasting is basic and is based on the chosen field of performance. Artists are lyricists, writers, music directors, actors, singers, directors etc. This level of categorization is natural and acceptable. Almost always, an artist will
focus on his or her chosen field of specialization. And that is where majority of them remain confined for a majority of the time of their careers.

Nainon se naina milaa ke : Song No. 2
———————————————
When we were studying in school, we had a period once in a week reserved for ‘deeni ta’aleem’. It used to be one of those time-paas periods, where teacher would come or just leave the kids be minded by the class monitors. This was not part of the exams, so it made no difference whether some things were taught or not. This subject was not even graded like the other subjects of ‘Physical Education’ or ‘ home science’ etc.
