#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

#Desh Kee Mittee Kee Khushboo#

My recent posts on this blog have been mostly presentations of devotional songs. One reason is that the holy month of saawan has commenced. Devotees of Lord Shiva or Bholey Baabaa are untertaking ‘kaanwar yaatraa’ to bring the holy gangajal from the Ganga river from places such as ‘Gaumukh’, ‘Haridwar’,Gangotri, Sultanganj (Bihar). Devotees get ‘gangaajal’ from these places and then carry the water pots on a contraption called kaanvar. Devotees then offer this water at their local shrines. Some devotees carry this water to various ‘jyotirlingaas’ of Lord Shiva or specific temples of Lord Shiva and offer it there. This is an annual pilgrimage undertaken by millions specifically in the northern parts of the country (including eastern and central India and parts of Western India). The devotees travel to the temples of Shiva while chanting ‘bol bam’ throughout the journey.

Mukesh and his Actors – 07

As we draw towards the last few HF songs of Mukesh, it is becoming increasingly difficult to trace his unposted songs on the blog.

Of late, I pick up an artist (actor, co-singer, composer) and start the rigorous search on the blog to see if all the respective songs are covered. In this exercise, I am also realizing that I have myself covered the artist in one of my series in the past. 😊

Of course, I am yet to cover Raj Kapoor, Lata, Asha, and three duo-composers for whom Mukesh sang songs aplenty. The issue with such artists is that I must spend considerable time preparing the lengthy tables. However, they are quite important, and I will try to take up these marathon posts shortly. I am even contemplating breaking the songs decade-wise so that it is easy for me to cover them. Let me see what best can be done.

‘Duniya Kyaa Jaane’ (1971) was produced and directed by C V Sridhar under his banner, Chithralaya Pictures. The cast included Bharti, Pramendra, Anupama, Krishnakant, Nazeer Hussain, Sulochana Chatterjee, Mumtaz Begum, Manmohan, Mac Mohan, Iftikhar etc. It was a remake of C V Sridhar’s Tamil film, ‘Avalukendru oru Manam’ (1971). Bharti was the only common actor in both the versions. While, the Tamil version was a box office hit, the Hindi version did not attain the same status on the box office.

In a recent article, I had discussed some Hindi film songs which were ‘inspired’ from foreign language songs/music. In this article, I will take up some Hindi film songs and music which have become ‘inspirations’ for some foreign language songs. Incidentally, in Western musical parlance, it is called ‘sample’ songs/music in which a part of the original song/music tune is sampled in their songs.

In the last few days, I have gone through many foreign songs as well as small clips of a few English films on the video sharing platforms in which Hindi films songs/music have been sampled in music videos as well as in films in the background. A few samples of Hindi film songs/music used in foreign music/film albums is discussed in the following paragraphs.

#Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1975-5)
——————————————————–

Today’s devotional song is from the 1975 movie i.e. a movie which has completed fifty years of existence in Hindi Film History. This movie is ‘Bhakti Mein Bhagwaan’. Regulars of the blog are aware that this year we will be adding the missing movies of the year 1975 which are not yet represented on the blog.

1975 was a memorable year for the Hindi film industry. It is remembered for some milestone movies of Hindi cinema like ‘Sholay’, ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’, ‘Deewaar’ etc. Movies like ‘Geet Gaataa Chal’, ‘Julie’, ‘Mausam’, ‘Chhotisi Baat’, ‘Rafoo Chakkar’, ‘Sanyaasi’, and ‘Pratigyaa’ were the other top successful movies of that year.

This movie ‘Bhakti Mein Bhagwaan-1975’ was directed by H. Krishnamurthy for ‘Venkatpathy Picutres. It was produced by S.V. Rajagopal. This movie was originally made in Kannada as ‘Bhakta Kumbhara-1974’ where the lead actor was Dr Rajkumar.

Mukesh and his Actors – 06

Navin Nischol was amongst the new breed of actors to grace the silver screen from the early 70’s. He made his debut with the film Sawan Bhadon (1970) in which he was paired with none other than Rekha who was also making her debut in Hindi films.

His popular films and even more popular songs are well known. Without going into the details of his films and his successful foray into television media, I direct readers to his wiki page where ample details are provided.

In this post, we shall deal with Mukesh’s playback for Navin Nischol. There are only 3 films in which Mukesh sang a total of 5 songs for him. Here is the table of their collaboration.

# Debutant Movie –Mandir Masjid-1977#
————————————————

Today’s song is a wonderful sufi qawwaalee from the 1977 movie ‘Mandir Masjid’.

I was longing to share this song on the blog. I have listened to this song many times and liked this composition very much. The singers of this Qawwaalee song are Mohd Rafi, Manna Dey, Shankar-Shambhu, and Ram Kumar. I was under the impression that this song also has the voice of Jani Babu Qawwaal but Geet Kosh and other sources do not mention his name. As per information contained in Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980) the famous Qawwaalee duo Shankar-Shambhu had confirmed that this song was composed by them, though the music composer for this movie was Sharda. They had also informed that this song has the voice of Ram Kumar as well(I am not aware about him).

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————

We are all aware of the movie ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’ which came in the year 1975. This movie turns fifty years old’ this year. I remember watching this movie with my parents and I liked all the songs from this movie. However I was not aware of the movie whose song is being covered in the post. I became aware of this movie only after getting hold of Geet Kosh Vol-VI (1981-1985). Geet Kosh mentions in the footnote of this movie that the songs from this movie ‘Sampoorna Santoshi Maa Ki Mahimaa-1981’ were released in the 1975 with the title ‘Santoshi Maa Ki Mahimaa’. However, later the title of this movie was changed to ‘Sampoorna Santoshi Maa Ki Mahimaa’ and it was released in 1981.
