‘Sharaafat Chhod Dee Maine’ (1976) was produced by Damodaran Menon, VM Shah and Jagdev Bhambri and was directed by Jagdev Bhambri. The cast included Hema Malini, Feroz Khan, Neetu Singh, Jagdeep, Abhi Bhattacharya, Manmohan Krishna, Helen, Manju, Shera, Baby Madhu Malini, Mulchand, Yasmin, Jugal etc with special appearances of Bindu, Padma Khanna, Jayshree T, Faryal, Dev Kumar, Dheeraj, Tabrez, Jagdev Bhambri, Arpana Chaudhary and Laxmi Chhaya among others. Hema Malini had a double role of two sisters in the film.

The film was presented by Hema Pictures which gives the impression that Hema Malini was indirectly involved in the making of the film. Hema Malini’s niece, Madhoo made her debut in the film as Baby Madhu Malini. One of the highlights of the film was that the prominent dancers of that time, Helen, Padma Khanna, Laxmi Chhaya, Jayshree T. Bindu and Faryal, appeared in the film. Of course, there were dances of Hema Malini and Neetu Singh as well.

For my next song we turn to a Lata Mangeshkar melody – “Sultana Mera Naam Hai” from Sangram (1976) which is a lively cabaret-style dance number composed by Bappi Lahiri with lyrics by Gauhar Kanpuri. It is a nightclub-oriented songs and reflects the changing musical trends of the mid-1970s, when Western rhythms and cabaret sequences had become popular in Hindi cinema.

Musically, the song combines a strong dance beat with brass instrumentation and a catchy refrain. Bappi Lahiri’s arrangement is energetic but not yet as disco-driven as the style he would become famous for a few years later. Instead, it sits somewhere between the traditional Hindi film cabaret of the 1960s and the emerging disco sound of the late 1970s.

At the outset I would like to wish our in-house Encyclopaedia Shri. Arunkumar Deshmukhji a very Happy Birthday. May he always enlighten us with his knowledge on well-known, known & not-so-well-known artists who have walked the firmament of the Indian film industry. May he always find artists about whom he has not-yet shared any information. May he always be available to us when we pop questions or doubts about anything and everything. All this in the time he finds between his writing for the blog and books. I would also like to wish him lots of time with his family and followers and admirers.

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.
