#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
—————————————————————————

Today 24th October 2025 is the fourteenth remembrance day of the legendary singer Manna Dey ( Real name Prabodh Chandra Dey). He was born on 01.05.1919 and he passed away on 24.10.2013.

Music lovers here are already aware about him and much has already been written about his greatness and versatility as a singer, so I am not going to repeat it all here again. But I would definitely like to mention here that I am a big fan of his singing and I have always enjoyed and cherished listening to the songs sung by Manna Dey, whichever genre they are from – classical, semi-classical, sugam sangeet or qawwaalees etc. He has also sung many songs which fall under the category of philosophical songs and ‘songs with a message’.

Today I am presenting one such rare song here. This song is a rare song because it is from an un-released movie of the seventies. I don’t know how many of us have listened to this song. I came across this song around two-three years back and I had mentioned this while presenting another song from this same un-released movie here on the blog earlier.

Hullo Atuldom

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.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet #

In this post I am again presenting a lesser heard song which may well be considered a rare song. This song is in the voice of Kishore Kumar. The movie is ‘Raani Aur Jaani-1973’. This seems to be a very obscure movie of its time. Though this movie made its debut on the blog long back in the year 2009 the movie still remains un-Yippeeee’ed’ on the blog.

“Raani Aur Jaani-1973” was directed by K.S.R. Dass for ‘P.N.R. Pictures, Madras’.This stunt movie was passed by Censor Board on 08.11.1973. The cast of this movie had Anil Dhawan, Aruna Irani, Jyoti Lakshmi, Narendra Nath, Jagdeep, Sulochana, Ramaprabha, Brahm Bharadwaj, Shetty, Coca Cola, Shekhar, Swaraj, Prem Kumar, Master Ripal Sapru, Baby Dally, Baby Charulata and others. Bindu had a special appearance in this movie.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 48

1973 had been the year in which many silver/golden jubilee films were released. Some of the major blockbusters were Bobby, Jugnu, Daag, Zanjeer, Yaadon Ki Baraat, Kahani Kismat Ki, Loafer, etc etc.

Dharmendra had 9 releases, whereas Rajesh Khanna had 3 releases, Big B had 3 releases.

And I was in my 7th standard. In this year I started bunking classes regularly to watch a new release and some old movies on repeat runs every week. For me 1973 holds some strong nostalgic memories which makes me happy and sad in that singular moment.

So here’s a rare song from a film released in early 1973. The song, “Kash Pe Kash Lagane De” from Naya Nasha (1973), is sung by Asha Bhosle, written by Anand Bakshi and composed by Sapan Chakraborty.

As I am nearing my 100th post (currently at 96 posts), I am looking for some songs sung by the big 4 (ie) Mohd. Rafi Saab, Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. With over 19K songs posted on the blog it’s quite difficult to find songs by these legends.

However, as I was contemplating on songs to be posted, I found this rare trio sung by Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle and two/three lines by Manna Dey.

The song, “Aag Se Aag Bujhale” is from a 1973 movie “Jalte Badan”. This film was produced and directed by Ramanand Sagar.

It starred Kiran Kumar, Kumkum, Padma Khanna, Alka, Sujit Kumar, Dinesh Thakur, Viju Khote, Karan Dewan, Krishan Dhawan, Pradeep Kumar, Jagdish Raj etc.

It’s a sensitive portrayal of how society often refuses to forgive a woman’s mistakes, no matter how much she reforms.

Today (9 August 2025) is Rakshabandhan. Incidentally, Rakshabandhan was the first festival for this blog when this blog began on 19 July 2008. On that year, Rakshabandhan was on 16 August 2008, one day after Independence day. Chosing an appropriate song for the occasion was a no brainer for me. I had covered the iconic Rakshabandhan song, bhaiyya mere raakhi ke bandhan ko nibhaana. That post turned out to be a “game changer” for the blog as the blog received visitors in three digits on that day for the first time. That was a breakthrough for the blog as it began to get noticed by more and more music lovers.

We have been covering rakshabandhan related songs on all Rakshabandhan days. There have been 17 such occasions on the blog so far. All the well known rakshabandhan songs have already been covered by now. 26 Rakshabandhan related songs have been covered on these 17 occasions.

Today, on the occasion of the 18th Rakshabandhan day (9 August 2025) for the blog, here is a lesser known Raksha bandhan song. This song is from “Pyaar Ka Rishtaa”(1973).
