#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet #

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Dukh Sukh-1974’. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 11.11.1974. This seems to be an obscure movie of its time as I could not find any video of the movie or its’ songson internet or any information about this movie except in Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980). The details about this movie as mentioned in the Geet Kosh-Vol-V are as given below. I had shared these details earlier while presenting a Rafi song from this movie,‘mere paas aao de do sahaaraa’.
When I presented the above song from this movie more than five years back, only couple of songs from this movie were available, whereas many more songs from this movie have now become available.
‘Dukh Sukh-1974’ was directed by Majid Maqbool for Nausheen Films, Bombay. This movie had Sandeep Kumar, Shreedevi (I am not aware if she is the same Sreedevi that we know), Chaand, Majid Maqbool, Farshori, Swaroop, Shams, Lalitashri, Jyoti, Chandermohan, Revati, Hafeez, Khan, Pritam, Vijaya and others. As per HFGK Vol – V (1971-1980) this movie had five songs written by Javed Qadri and composed to music by Vitthal-Mumtaz. Geet Kosh has left space indicating more songs might have been recorded for this movie. The singers for the five songs listed in Geet Kosh are Manna Dey, Shashilata Virk, Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, and Krishna Kalle.

Legends Don’t Die, They Leave An Immortal Legacy
I was as shocked as the entire world who loved the rustic original He-Man of the Hindi Film Industry – Dharmendra Singh Deol.
The curtains have fallen on the magnificent career of Dharmendra, one of Indian cinema’s most endearing and charismatic figures, who passed away on Monday, November 24, 2025, at the age of 89. His passing leaves a colossal void, marking the end of an era defined by his unparalleled charm, raw talent, and a filmography that became the very backbone of Bollywood.
Dharmendra was a paradox on screen—a formidable action hero with the innocence and tenderness of a poet. This rare combination allowed him to effortlessly inhabit the most diverse roles, captivating generations of audiences.

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.
