Today 16th October 2025 is the seventy eighth birthday of actress Hema Malini. She was born on this day in the year 1948. We wish her a very happy birthday and a healthy and peaceful life ahead. During my growing years in the seventies to early eighties I get to watch many Hindi Films where Hema Malini was the lead actress. She was ruling the roost and she was given the nickname of Dream Girl of Hindi Cinema.
Today on the occasion of her birthday I was looking for a song from this decade 1971-1980. I had a song in mind but then I kept it aside. After changing my mind I started looking for a song where R.D. Burman was the composer of the movie. That led me to this song from the movie ‘Alibaba Aur 40 Chor-1980. So I was able to find a song from the seventies as planned.

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Jaani Babu Qawwaal)

(Qawwaalees – Part-2 – Post-14)

Today I am presenting a Qawwaalee song again. It is from an un-released movie of the 1970s which was later used in 1990 in another movie. This movie is titled as ‘Arab Ka Sona’ – for the seventies. Geet Kosh Vol-V mentions this movie under un-released movies of 1971-1980. However, there is no information about the cast of this movie. As per Geet Kosh (1971-1980) this movie was directed by C.K. Kadar for ‘C.K. Films’. Music composer for this movie is Jitin-Shyam. Eight songs are mentioned for this movie each with the name of the singers and lyricist. Geet Kosh has left a space indicating the possibility of more songs in this movie. For the eight songs the lyricists are Aish Kanwal(five songs), Shrikant (one song) and Shabnam Karwaari(two songs). Singers for this movie’s songs are Mohd Rafi, Krishna Bose, Nitin Mukesh, Jaani Babu Qawwaal, and Dilraj Kaur.

“Naach Uthhe Sansaar”(1976) was directed by Yakub Hasan Rizvi for Regal Theatres, Bombay. The movie had Shashi Kapoor, Hema Malini, Simmi Garewal, Rajinder Nath, Leela Mishra etc in it.
HFGK lists six songs in “Naach Uthhe Sansaar”(1976). But I notice that song number 1 (aa jaa re aaja) and song number 6 (sookhi dharti dhool udaawe) is one single song that is erroneously mentioned as two separate songs in HFGK.

Hullo Atuldom
10th October is the birthday of an actress whose work I simply love to see ever since I saw her in the 1980 released “Khoobsoorat” and I shall never tire of telling this. I know the readers of this blog are aware of my partiality towards a few actresses of the period of 1970s & 1980s- Hema Malini, Rekha, Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi, Jaya Bhadhuri- if I need to name them. I try not to miss writing a post for the birthdays of these ladies.
So, here I am, wishing Rekha (who was born Bhanurekha) a very Happy Birthday. Hope she continues to be beautiful, charming, and continues to make the (odd) appearances in front of audiences; at least on reality shows on television if not in films.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, there were some Hindi films which were labelled as ‘parallel cinema’, ‘new wave cinema’ or ‘art cinema’ when they were released. The films included ‘Bhuvan Shome’ (1969) by Mrinal Sen, ‘Uski Roti’ (1969) by Mani Kaul, ‘Saara Aakaash’ (1969) by Basu Chatterjee, ‘Maya Darpan’ (1972) by Kumar Sahni, ‘Garam Hawa’ (1974) by M S Sathyu and ‘Ankur’ (1974) by Shyam Benegal. Among these films, there was a film titled ’27 Down’ (1973) about which I had a faint memory. Few days back, the name of this film came back to my mind when I read an article with a curiosity-creating caption, ‘A class IV employee, his only film won two National Awards, died at 35……. Who was Awtar Kaul?’ in The Economic Times, September 22, 2025. He was none other than the director of ’27 Down’ (1973).
Subsequently, I read two more articles about Awtar Kaul – one in ‘Chinar Shade’ by Avtar Mota and another in ‘The Wire’ by his nephew, Vinod Kaul. Surprisingly all these articles appeared during 2024-25.
Incidentally, ’27 Down’ (1974) was screened at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa in 2024 to commemorate 50 years of the film’s release. Perhaps these articles appeared around that time as tributes to Awtar Kaul on 50th year of his passing away on July 20, 1974.

A few days back we got the news of the passing away of veteran actress Sandhya, said to be 93 or 94. Some sources give her birth year as 1938 & place of birth as Kochi? Kochi? I saw this video which was posted as tribute to the departed soul. This video as also some news channels give her birth year as 1930 & place of birth as Gujarat. I recall that there is a post by our in-house encyclopaedia that will give us all the details that we need to know. Details like her birth name was Vijaya Deshmukh, actress Vatsala Deshmukh was her sister, & another actress of Marathi films, the (late) Ranjana Deshmukh was her niece.

#Yippeeee to Aanchal-1980 #
———————————————
In this post I am presenting a nice ‘morning’ /‘bhor’ song’ from the movie ‘Aanchal-1980’.
Picturisation shows a big house in a vilage where most of the main characters in the movie reside. Rakhee is lip syncing this good morning song in the voice of Lata Mangeshkar. Two decades ago, we had Meena Kumari lip syncing in Lata Mangeshkar’s voice another good morning song ‘jyoti kalash chhalke.’
Like what Meena Kumari was shown doing in that iconic “Bhaabhi Ki Choodiyaan”(1961) song, this “Aanchal”(1980) song shows Rakhee playing her role as an ‘ideal Bhaarteey Naari’ performing early morning household chores such as spraying water (mixed with ‘gobar’), ‘tulsi kee pooja’, feeding the birds, extracting water for household works from the pump, waking up other members of the household, preparing them for going to their work etc.
