In this article, I am presenting a song, ‘suno aye duniyawaalon ek naya paighaam laaya hoon’ from an incomplete film, ‘Naya Mandir’ (1961). It was directed by Kishore Sahu. It had Manoj Kumar, Mala Sinha and Mehmood in main roles. I came to know of this song on the audio album of ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983). Unfortunately, this song seems to have been deleted from the VCD of the film available on one of the video sharing platforms. Since video clip of the song is available in continuation of the scene from ‘Film Hi Film. (1983), it can be construed that the song was included in the film.

Shahab Ahmed, the producer of ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983) had earlier produced ‘Cinema Cinema’ (1979). During his visit to Bombay Film Laboratory, he was astonished to see cans of more than 2000 unfinished films lying in the laboratory. Shahab Ahmed thought that a lot of efforts had gone into making these films which unfortunately remained incomplete for various reasons. So, he came with the idea of incorporating scenes and songs from a few select incomplete films to make a full-length feature film [Source: ‘…and Pran’ (2005) by Bunny Rueben].

In Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra and in Goa, there used to be Devdasi (servants of God) customs under which select girls (especially trained singers and dancers) were attached to local temple for temple duties. Since they were regarded as wedded to the deity of the temples, they were expected to live a life of celibacy. They were supported by the patrons of the temple which included royalties. However, with the abolition of royalties, the Devdasi custom as envisaged in the beginning came under financial strain, forcing them to rely on rich patrons, sometime becoming their mistresse. The girls born out of such relationship were initiated into Devdasi customs.

In 1970, Jaywant Dalvi, a Marathi novelist, playwright and journalist, who was from the South Konkan region, published his novel, ‘Mahananda’ highlighting the burning issues in Devdasi customs in the Konkan region of Maharashtra as evolved over a period of time, now almost extinct. The story is about a city-based college lecturer, Babulnath (Babul for short). He while on a visit to his native village, falls in love with Mahananda (Mannu for short), a daughter born out of Devdasi custom. However, her mother opposes their marriage as Mahananda is destined to serve the temple as Devdasi. It is a tragic love story which is doomed from the beginning due to societal pressures and superstitions resulting in the emotional turmoil for the affected lovers. The end result is that Mahananda is betrayed by her own mother due to her superstitions and later by Babul due to his timid nature though he remains unmarried.

Hullo Atuldom

Back to writing a post after a full month, last one was on 6th November to pay tribute to Sanjeev Kumar. In this period I have been getting gentle nudges by our Guruji, enquiring about the lull in my writing. He even suggested that I strike a deal with Sadanandji, about pacing our landmark posts (at that point Sadanandji was four short of his century). I assured Arunkumarji that by the time I get back to writing Sadanandji would have hit his century and gone far ahead; he is sitting on 1014 currently.

I have been a little pre-occupied attending a few weddings, accompanied with learning to shake a leg for the dances to execute at the pre-wedding sangeet and other wedding related celebrations. A few of my nephews got married in this wedding season.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
———————————————————————

In this post I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Mazdoor-1983’.

While covering songs from movies released in 1983, I had mentioned that it was
an important year of my life as I had appeared and successfully passed the 10th standard Board exams that year. The other important and unforgettable event of the year was India winning the ‘World Cup of Cricket’ that year.

For Cricket fans like me that summer of 1983 turned out to be the most memorable and unforgettable as Kapil’s Devils clinched the ‘first world cup title’ for India in June’1983. Given my age that time I was more interested in cricket, movies, books, and study to pass the important examination.

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
———————————————————————

Today 27th November 2025 is the seventy-third birth anniversary of Composer Singer Bappi Lahiri (27.11.1952-15.02.2022). On this occasion as a tribute to him I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Sinhaasan-1986’.

I got to listen to this song earlier this year when I was still at Vadodara and was travelling from the city to my workplace around 47 kms from the city. I had earlier presented filmography of Bappi Lahiri for his Hindi Films from the 1970s and also for few years of the 1980s. However I did not include it in my series of Bappi Lahiri songs where I had presented songs that are part of my memory till 1985, because this song did not fall in that category.

Today’s movie ‘Sinhaasan-1986’ was directed by Krishna who also produced it for ‘Padmalaya Studio, Madras’. So this is one of those movies of actor Jeetendra where he was a part of many films coming from the southern part of the country. Bappi Lahiri too was the regular music composer for such films. I have not watched this movie, so can’t say much about it. However it seems to be a ‘fantasy’ movie. The cast of this movie has Jeetendra, Jaya Prada, Pran, Kader Khan, Mandakini, Shakti Kapoor, Bharat Bhooshan, Dr Shreeram Lagoo, Amjad Khan, Sujit Kumar, Gulshan Grover, Gurbachan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Waheeda Rehman, Radha and others.
