#Taraanaa-1979#
——————————

Today I am presenting a lesser heard song from the movie ‘Taraana-1979’. In fact this song was not included in the movie though it was recorded. I had in my earlier posts presenting this movie’s songs mentioned the following;

HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) lists twelve songs for this movie. However, it seems that two songs were not included in the movie and out of these two even the audio/record is also not available for one song.

The cast of this movie ‘Taraana-1979’ included Ranjeeta, Mithun Chakraborty, Dr Shreeram Lagoo, Urmila Bhatt, Jayshree T., Sharat Saxena, and Om Shivpuri. They were supported by Yunus Parvez, Janki Das, Sundar, Bhagwan, Shakeel, Satyabhan Sinha, Naresh, Pardesi, Master Sandeep, Shobha Khote, Mala Jaggi, Uma Khosla, and Jagdeep. The story, screenplay and dialogues of this movie were written by Khalid & Narvi. Editing of this film was done by Mukhtar Ahmed. Music for this movie was composed by Raamlaxman. Lyricist Ravindra Rawal and Tilakraj Thapar penned six songs each for this movie. Usha Mangeshkar, Shailendra Singh, Aarti Mukherjee, Jagjit Singh, Dilraj Kaur, Chetan and Varsha Bhonsle were the singers.

Hullo Atuldom

“Suhaag” (1979) was a film produced by Rajinder Kumar Sharma, Ramesh Sharma, Shakti Subhash Sharma, Prakash Trehan and directed by Manmohan Desai. The story writer was Prayag Raj, K.K. Shukla was the screenplay writer & the dialogues carried the trademark of Kadar Khan – every dialogue in the film matched the mood that Manji (as Manmohan Desai was fondly addressed by his friends & admirers) envisioned for his films. Laxmikant-Pyarelal were the music directors for songs that were written by Anand Bakshi. Shailendra Singh, Mohd Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Anwar were the playback singers used for the songs. The song ‘main toh beghar hoon’ had Shashi Kapoor mouth a few words, hence he is also credited in the list of playback singers.

Some years ago, I did start to write post of some colourful songs, shot outdoors. There are so many of them in hindi films, especially in colour movies, that they are countless. I have a weakness for scenic waterfalls, mountains, lakes, snow peaks, rivers, huge trees etc.

Today, I have dropped two posts in preparation, as I realized belatedly that they are posted. One had Dharmendra and other had Vinod Mehra, incidentally, singing Rafi solos, in Kashmir.

In my posts of the song “Jiya Jiya Re” (Jab Tak hai Jaan) I have mentioned that there must be reels and reels of footage shot of mountains, rivers of naturally beautiful locations in Kashmir, which were not used. For photographers would not be able to resist. In fact in one of the songs mentioned above, they had used shot visuals in the song, without the actors actually going there and shooting for the song. The shots looked like amalgamated with the actors singing in greenery.

Today, November 6th is the 40th Remembrance Day of Sanjeev Kaumar, (09/07/1938 – 06/11/1985), one of the most versatile actors of Hindi films and the two-time National Award winner. He was popularly known as Haribhai among his close friends which was derived from his real name, Harihar Jariwala. He was the first one from his family to step into the films on the basis of his talents, eventually becoming an icon of Hindi cinema. I have watched his performances in films for the first time in ‘Shikaar’ (1968) in the role of a calm and calculated police inspector followed by ‘Jyoti’ (1969) in a lead role. I was impressed with his performances in these two films which appeared different from his other contemporary actors.

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep- 41)
—————————————

The Holy Festival of Chhathh Pujaa is going on at present. This festival is dedicated to ‘Chhathh Maiyyaa’ (Mother Chhathh) and ‘Surya Devta’ (Lord Sun). ‘Chhathh Pujaa’ is one of the biggest festivals of India which was confined to the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and some parts of Uttarakhand in the past. But nowadays now it is observed all over the country whereever people from these states have migrated for job and cannot make it to their native places. Moreover those who have settled elsewhere in India have started to observe it in their new residences instead of going back to their original native places on this occasion.

(Qawwaalees – Part-2 – Post-14)
——————————

Today I am presenting a Qawwaalee song again. It is from an un-released movie of the 1970s which was later used in 1990 in another movie. This movie is titled as ‘Arab Ka Sona’ – for the seventies. Geet Kosh Vol-V mentions this movie under un-released movies of 1971-1980. However, there is no information about the cast of this movie. As per Geet Kosh (1971-1980) this movie was directed by C.K. Kadar for ‘C.K. Films’. Music composer for this movie is Jitin-Shyam. Eight songs are mentioned for this movie each with the name of the singers and lyricist. Geet Kosh has left a space indicating the possibility of more songs in this movie. For the eight songs the lyricists are Aish Kanwal(five songs), Shrikant (one song) and Shabnam Karwaari(two songs). Singers for this movie’s songs are Mohd Rafi, Krishna Bose, Nitin Mukesh, Jaani Babu Qawwaal, and Dilraj Kaur.
