Raag Maalikaa in Hindi Films – 1
=====================

When Atul-ji was kind enough to post, at a very short notice, my Ankahee’s Pandit Bhimsen-ji’s bhajan, I started looking at the listing of Jaidev’s composition already covered. I realised that many of the gems of my favourite Music Director Jaidev are still waiting to be posted. So in the new series, which I will call ‘Creations of Jaidev’, I have selected a Raagamala from the 1977 film ‘Alaap’. So this presentation is also in the new series ‘Filmi RaagMaalas’. I think this is one of the last few Raagmalikas composed by any music director of Hindi films.

There have been various songs on Shaadi and the various rituals connected to it. For example a very good bidaai song is “Chal ri sajni ab kya soche” from “Bambai Ka Babu”. Then there are songs of mehndi; in recent times a lot of Yash Chopra movies had them (do we need to enumerate them here). There are also songs where the sister is teased by a younger sibling (Sun Sun Sun Didi from Khoobsurat) or a jiji Jija song as in “Hum Aapke hain Kaun.” Then there is the iconic song in Chaudvin Ka chand “Mera Yaar bana hai dulha” by Mohd Rafi which has stood the test of time.

Since the last two days a certain music channel (B4U Music I think) is advertising that they are going to dedicate their “Awaaz De Kahaan Hain” programme to Mohd. Rafi and that it is going to be spread over 23rd and 24th. And my brain….like time some tube lights of olden days blinked and blinked and realized that (realization after 5 years of being an Atulite) that my daughter’s birthday is close to Rafisaab’s birthday. And that she had written the lyrics for the song from “Amar Akbar Anthony” a long time ago. Also that she had wanted me to write a suitable write up for it.

Today 21st October is the birthday of the dancing diva HELEN. And it is not possible to let it pass by without a song to show our love for her.

But that is the most difficult task for us atulites. Why? Because we have covered so many of her famous songs that one has to sit down with pen and paper to make a list of those songs that are left. In that respect I envy the various radio channels and TV programmes which will show the same set of songs on every occasion. I suspect that they don’t know the existence of the lesser known songs.

There are quite a few good to very good actors who were eclipsed when the Amitabh Bachchan wave hit Bollywood in the 70s. Some tried doing a few solo movies before doing multi star cast movies with AB as the main character. So much so that they didn’t mind being overshadowed by the Bachchan. Who can forget Amar Akbar Anthony (1977)? Manmohan Desai made a movie with the story being about 3 brothers. But people thought that Bachchan’s Anthony was the prominent character. And inspite of being a diehard Bachchan fan I love to see the scenes of AMAR in the movie. Specially the scene in the jail where he questions Robert’s men about who shot the police commissioner (played by Kamal Kapoor). There are other parts in the movie featuring Vinod Khanna (who played Amar) that stand out.
