(1972 – Duet)

Here is the duet that I have selected from 1972. Another peerless and lovely memory from the radio listening days. A song that is softly composed and softly rendered in a leisurely pace. Asha Bhosle accompanies Rafi Sb in the singing. The film is ‘Parchhaaiyaan’, the lyrics are by Majrooh Sultanpuri and the music composition is by RD Burman. On screen, this song is performed by Vinod Khanna, a new comer heroine, Reshma. A name that I am not familiar with at all. Apparently she appeared in not many films. Given the on screen presence, it is likely she did not make any lasting impressions at all.

(1972 – Solo)

Coming to the 1972 installment of this series. The song that I have selected is in the same genre as yesterday’s solo. Yesterday, it was “Ye Shor Hai Gali Gali, Ke Wo Jawaan Ho Chali”, telling about a young lass stepping into the age of youth. The song today tells the same story, this time about a girl named Reshma.

(1971 – Duet)

The decade of the seventies brought in some significant changes in the landscape of Hindi film song. For one, it was the spectacular rise of Kishore Kumar as a playback singer.“Mere Sapnon Ki Raani” happened in 1969, and after that we see a meteoric rise in Kishore Da’s playback singing performances. The second significant aspect is the accompanying rise of the new age music spearheaded by music directors like RD Burman and Bappi Lahiri. The generations were changing, and the new generations lapped on the new age music coming from this new crop of composers. Sadly, however, the demise of melody was also acknowledged to have occurred in this decade.

Today (2 september 2014) is the birth anniversary of Sadhana, the heart throb of millions of movie watchers in 1960s.

A few of her movies that were started in late 1960s had to be held in abeyance because Sadhana suffered from an ailment that affected her face. This, plus the fact that time and tide waits for none, meant that she was a pale shadow of her earlier self when she returned back after getting healed. Time had passed her by in the interim. Shooting of a few of her incomplete movies were resumed but it was too late by that time and these movies failed at the box office.

In our high school curriculum, we had Hindi Padhya (Poetry) in which, among others, poems of Meerabai, Tulsidas, Kabirdas, Surdas, Raskhan were taught to us. While most of the poems were in the praise of Lord Ram and Krishna, poems of Sant Kabirdas were not addressed to any specific God. I had heard the word ‘nirgun’ from my teacher in regard to the poems of Sant Kabirdas, I did not know the meaning of ‘nirgun’ in wider sense until few years back. Some of Dohas (two liners) have still remained in my memory. One of those which often come to my mind is:
