Today’s song is the last and final song from the coloured social film Rahgir-1969.
I specifically mentioned coloured film, because it was still a novelty for the audience. Even in the 60’s, a few films were made in B & W, but by the end of 1960’s decade they were a thing of the past. Rahgir-1969 was a sort of a hybrid film – mixture of a regular film and a New Wave cinema. The audience was not yet ready for the New Wave Cinema, but the excellent films presented by the select producers and the directors their acceptance was achieved soon. The film was released on 2-7-1969 .
Film Rahgir-1969 was a remake of the celebrated Bengali film “Palatak” (1963). Tarun Majumdar, the director of the remake, had directed the Bengali original along with two co-directors – Sachin Mukherjee and Dilip Mukherjee. The film was based on the story “Angti Chattujjer Vai” by Manoj Basu. Hemant Kumar, who composed the music for the Bengali film, also composed the score for the remake.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Bandish-1969’. It is a nice song lyrics wise as well as composition wise. However this song has been forgotten, which might be for various reasons viz. the movie not doing well or the movie itself getting forgotten and so few music lovers getting to listen to this song.
I had presented a song from this movie earlier, where I had mentioned that I was not aware of this song till 2018 when I presented a write-up on Singer Jaspal Singh on 02.04.2018.
This movie “Bandish-1969” was directed by Charandas Shokh for ‘J.J. Films, Bombay’. It had Sonia Sahni, Shailendra, Azra, Ulhas, Brahmachari, Shyam Kumar, Sarita Devi, S.K. Prem, Mirza Musharraf, Uma Dhawan, Sushma, Kundan, Dhanraj, Habib, Madhumati, Manmohan and others. This movie has six songs composed to music by Usha Khanna. Akmal Hyderabadi is the lyricist of the songs in this movie.

Today I am presenting a Qawwaalee song sung by Jaani Babu Qawwaal and Krishna Kalle. The movie is ‘Sakhi Lutera-1969’.

This song was then presented by our respected Sudhir jee and here is what he had mentioned about the word ‘sakhi’ in the title of such movies and how movies with same titles were repeated in the history of Hindi Films.

Today’s song is a lovely duet from the movie ‘Sati Sulochana-1969’. This song is sung by Suman Kalyanpur and Mahendra Kapoor. This song can well be categorized as a ‘chitrahaar’ of song. The melody will take you back to the melodious decade of the sixties.

Films with the title “Hum Ek Hai” were released in different years.
Suffice to say Hum Ek Hain, lekin same title anek hai.
Well, this post of mine had tried to sort out the confusion arising out of this same title released in different years and with different cast and composers. I had elaborated on the standalone patriotic song produced by Govt of India’s Films Division which also had the same title.
