Hullo Atuldom

Bindu Nanubhai Desai (known to us as Bindu) turns 85 today. She has been an entertainer since the 1960s. Her father Nanubhai Desai was a film producer who died when she was about 13. And like many others of that period, like (for example) the Mangeshkar sisters in the 1940s, the burden of earning money fell on her shoulders as she was the eldest of seven siblings. She made her debut in 1962 as Mala Sinha’s daughter in ‘Anpadh”. (An interesting trivia is that Bindu’s cousin Aruna Irani played the character of the young Mala Sinha in that film). The very classical music based song ‘jiya le gayo ji mora’ was filmed on her.

Mukesh and his Actors – 10

This will be the last of the duets that Mukesh sang with Suman Kalyanpur. For obvious reasons, I take back readers to my post on their complete collaboration. Here is the memorable post.

Out of the 36 duets they sang, 5 were yet to be covered by that time. One was covered in that post itself. One was a cheeky post taken away by Atul ji, citing reasons why I could not have taken it up. 😊

Thereafter, I covered two duets and this is the last. It is from the film Chori Chori (1973).

Well, this film is not to be confused with the more popular Chori Chori (1956) even though both films were composed by the same composers, Shanker Jaikishan.

This blog reaches landmarks at regular intervals. I have divided this landmarks into two categories:-

Category one landmarks:- which are achieved as a result of posting articles. Example being, century of blog posts, thousands of blog posts, century post of artists, thousandth post of artists etc. As can be seen one needs to post one hundred articles for a century post to materialise and so on.

Category two landmarks:- These are landmarks that are not in our control and they are dependent on time and happen with time largely irrespective of blog post activities . For example, blog completing 100 days or 1000 days. Visitors reaching a certain number in the blog etc.

Two days ago (on 14 April 2026), the blog reached a category two landmark when 18 millionth visitor visited the blog. As mentioned earlier, this is a landmark that takes place on its own. It went largely unnoticed but for an alert regular who pointed it out to us on the night of 14 april 2026 that the blog visitors count had reached 18 millions.

Hullo Atuldom

“Bansi Birju” (1972) was produced & directed by Prakash Verma; according to sites on the internet he was associated with two other films Dev Anand’s ‘Lootmaar’ as writer & ‘I Love You’ as director in 1985 (must say I have not heard of the second film which had Rajan Sippy & Sahila Chadda in the cast).

“Bansi Birju” had music by flutist, composer, choreographer, musicologist, poet & writer Vijay Raghav Rao. He had worked in ‘Bhuvan Shome’ (1969) & ‘Gandhi’ (1982). The lyricist for “Bansi Birju” was Yogesh Gaud for songs in the voices of Vani Jayaram, Mohd Rafi, Manna Dey, and Chitra Dutta. A little googling gave me the answer that Chitra Dutta was born as Chitra Shome but is known worldwide as Chitra Singh the better half of ghazal singer Jagjit Singh.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————–—-

Today I am presenting a rare and lesser heard duet sung by Rafi Saab and Asha Bhonsle. That adds one more to their tally on this blog. I do not remember to have listened to this song earlier, but it is nice hummable song to listen to.

This song is from the un-released/shelved movie titled as ‘Shehar Se Door’. Sources mention that the records for this movie were released in the year 1972, but the movie was never released.

‘Shehar Se Door’ or ‘Shahar Se Door’ was directed by Chaman Nille for ‘Maya Deep International, Bombay’. It had Subhash Ghai, Neena, Heena Kausar, Roopesh Kumar, Nadira, Johny Walker, Raj Mehra, Krishan Dhawan, Anita Guha, V. Gopal, Jankidas, Uma Dhawan, Uma Khosla, Jerry, Monto, Satya Devi, Madhu Kapoor, Tarun Bose and others. Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980) lists five songs for this movie written by Verma Malik. Music for this movie was composed by Sonik-Omi. Manna Dey, Mohd Rafi, Minoo Puroshottam, and Asha Bhonsle were the playback singers for this movie.
