Mukesh and his Co-Singers –19
In today’s post on Mukesh and his co-singers, we take up one of the two songs that he sang with playback singer Bela Saaver (Saver). In one of my recent posts, I have requested readers to add more information on this singer. There have been no responses yet.
My own efforts are also not yielding a decent bio-post on her. She has given playback in films like Basti aur Bazaar (1973), Phir Aaya Toofan (1973), Gora Baboo (1976) etc. There are also quite a few NF ghazals and devotional songs sung by her.

Krishnaswamy Bhagyaraj (7 January 1953 – 27 June 2026) was an Indian filmmaker, actor, musician. He worked predominantly in Tamil cinema, while also directing and acting in films in other Indian languages. He wrote and directed more than 25 films and acted in over 75 films, and was regarded as one of the most influential writer-directors in Tamil cinema during the 1980s. He edited the Tamil weekly magazine “Bhagya” and authored several novels.
Bhagyaraj began working in the Tamil film industry in the mid-1970s as an assistant director under Bharathiraja (who also passed away earlier this month) in films like ’16 Vayathinile’ (1977) , ‘Sigappu Rojakkal’ (1978); which were remade in Hindi as ‘Solva Sawan’ (1979) & ‘Red Rose’ (1980); and a few more.

Moving ahead with the series on Asha Bhosle singing for actresses whose first names begin with the letter “A”, we come to Archana Joglekar.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, three actresses from the Marathi film industry crossed over to Hindi cinema with varying degrees of success. They were Archana Joglekar, Ashwini Bhave, and Varsha Usgaonkar. Although the Hindi film industry was based in Bombay (now Mumbai), only a few leading Marathi actresses were able to establish themselves in Hindi films. Usha Kiran and Jayshree Gadkar were notable exceptions. Most other Marathi actresses found work primarily in supporting roles.
I first started noticing Archana Joglekar (without knowing her name at the time) in the early 1980s as a model and in Marathi programmes on Bombay Doordarshan. By the mid-1980s, she had also begun appearing in Marathi films. Soon thereafter, she made her Hindi film debut with Mardon Mein Mard (1987). She subsequently played a leading role in an Odia film and, later in her career, also acted in a Tamil film. During the 1990s, she gradually reduced her film appearances but expanded her repertoire by working in television serials. It was also during this period that she married Dr. Nirmal Muley and moved to the United States.

#Drunkard Songs -2 #
If the first part of my drunkard series, I had mentioned that lots of drunkard songs were released in 1974. 1983, a noslagia filled year for me also seems to be rich in this genre of songs.
The drunkard song that I am presenting in this post is from ‘Farishta-1983’.
“Farishta 1984” was Pran Saab’s presentation for his home production ‘Sikand Films’. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 13.10.1983. It was directed by Sunil Sikand (Pran Saab’s son), who was also the Producer and Story writer of this movie. He also co-authored the Screenplay of this movie with Tapan Chakravarty. The cast of this movie included Ashok Kumar, Kanwaljeet Singh, Master Raju, Ambika Shourie, Danny and Pran. Bharat Bhushan, Azaad and Master Rajiv Bhatia also had supportive roles in this movie. The movie introduced – Shera – a wonder dog in this movie. Smita Patil makes a special appearance in this movie.

Continuing the series on actresses whose names start with A and who have lip-synched to Asha Bhosle’s songs, we come today to Aarti Gupta. I think she was more famous for her modelling career in the 1980s than for her acting career, although she was quite well known in the horror genre, particularly for her appearances in the Ramsay Brothers’ Samri series.
The Samri series began with Purana Mandir (1984). The character Samri became such a hit with horror fans that he was revived, even though he had been eliminated in the climax of the original film. I am not a big fan of the horror genre, particularly the bloodthirsty variety that tends to dominate the scene.

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
YEAR 1983-2
The song under discussion is from the movie ‘Painter Babu-1983’. It was a special movie for teenagers of those days like us.
Board examination for Xth were upon us and obviously that was uppermost in our minds. At the same time, we were not immune to the other topics of our interest, viz cricket, Hindi movies, and listening to Hindi movie songs on radio.
‘Painter Babu’ was being promoted on radio just as we were preparing for our board exams (of class Xth). Songs of this movie, that were frequently played on radio was a hot topic of discussion in my friend circle. The radio promotion of this movie had its intended effect on us and we became curious about this movie and its debutant lead pair. The fact this movie was produced by Manoj Kumar was in any case an added attraction. AThe fact that Manoj Kumar’s brother was making his debut (with three others also makingtheir debuts), had our friend’s circle excited about this movie. The music of this movie was composed by music duo Uttam Singh- Jagdish Khanna. These names were new for me. We finally got to watch this movie during tsummer vacations after our board examination was over.

‘Jail Yaatra’ (1981) was produced by Vijay Maria and Praveen Bali and was directed by Bhappi Sonie. The cast included Ashok Kumar, Vinod Khanna, Reena Roy, Amjad Khan, Anwar Hussain, Ashoo, Heena Kausar, Jyoti Bakshi, Jaishree T, Anjana Mumtaz, Dhumal, Vandana Shashtri, Rajan Kapoor, Beena, Abhimanyu Sharma, Brahm Bhardwaj, Katy Mirza, Manhar Desai, Keshav Rana, Mushtaq Merchant, Shivraj etc. Nirupa Roy and Jagdeep made their friendly appearances. The film went to floor sometime in 1975 but got delayed in its completion mainly due to Vinod Khanna’s frequent visits to Rajnish Ashram. Incidentally, during 1981-86, Vinod Khanna had taken sabbatical from the film industry.

When Atul started his alphabetical series of actresses who have lip-synced to Asha Bhosle’s voice, I suggested the names of some actresses who were missing from the list. I also sent the respective songs. Amala’s name was on my list, along with the song “Step by Step” from Dost (1989). When I asked Atul if he would mind my writing a post on the song, he replied that he would welcome it. This is how this contribution of mine came about after a long hiatus from this resourceful blog.
I became aware of Amala through her first Hindi film, Pushpak (1987). The film made quite a splash in the Hindi film industry, as it was a silent movie released in the middle of a decade that was full of very loud films. I did not have the chance to watch it in a cinema hall at the time. Amala looked quite different from the usual Hindi heroines of that era. In her interviews, she came across as a very sympathetic person who was actively involved in efforts against cruelty to animals. This brings us to the plot of the movie in question.
