(Music Composer R.D. Burman’s Remembrance Anniversary)
——————————————————————
Today 4th January’2026 is the 33rd Remembrance Anniversary of Rahul Dev Burman fondly known as Pancham.
Rahul Dev Burman was born on 27th June 1939 and he passed away on 4th January 1994 at the age of just 54.
On this occasion we are presenting songs composed by Pancham that had not been covered before. In this post we cover a song from the 1987 movie ‘Itihaas’, which is a lesser known movie that has been forgotten with time.
‘Itihaas-1987’ was an unsuccessful movie in terms of box-office success. It was directed by V. Joshi for ‘Navjeevan Productions Pvt. Ltd., Bombay’. Tito was the producer of this movie which was passed by Censor Board on 30.01.1987. Sources mention that this movie was a remake of director V. Joshi’s own movie ‘Itihasam-1981’ in Malayalam and remade in Tamil as ‘Theerpu’ in the year ‘1982’.
The cast of the Hindi movie ‘Itihaas-1987’ had Raaj Kumar, Shabana Azmi, Rati Agnihotri, Anil Kapoor, Mohnish Behl, Danny Denzongpa, Suresh Oberoi, Nameeta Chandra, Dinesh Hingoo, Master Suresh, Hanifa, Ramesh Goel, Prema Narayan, Leena Das, Iftekhar, Jalal Agha, Raj Mehra and others. Screenplay of this movie was written by Gyandev Agnihotri, and its dialogues were written by Krishan Dehlvi. N.S. Bedi was the dialogue director for this movie.

(Music Composer R.D. Burman’s 32nd Remembrance Day)
——————————————————————
Today 4th January 2026 is the 33rd Remembrance Anniversary of Rahul Dev Burman who is fondly known as ‘Pancham’. He was born on 27th June 1939 and he passed away on 4th January 1994 at the age of only 54.
Today on Pancham’s 33rd Remembrance Day we will be paying our tributes to him by listening to some of his compositions that were not yet presented till now.
While much of his musical treasure is already available for music lovers to savour, some more of this treasure is still being unearthed and is being shared online. I hope this process of digging up his as yet unknown compositions will continue in future as well.
From an estimated figure of 1755 songs from 331 Hindi movies composed by Pancham we have so far covered 944 songs from 254 Hindi movies on this blog.
I start day’s proceedings by presenting a song from the 1985 movie ‘AMEER AADMI GHAREEB AADMI’. It was directed by Amjad Khan for ‘Cinema International’s’. Shehla Khan and Vinay Sinha were the producers of this movie. Actor Amjad Khan who directed this movie had also credited as writer and editor of the movie as well. Dialogues for this movie were written by Akhtar-Ul-Iman. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 19.02.1985.

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the famous line “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet” means names are mere labels, arbitrary conventions that do not define the essence or true quality of a thing (or person). Juliet says this to Romeo, lamenting that his family name (Montague) is the only barrier to their love, as his actual person is still wonderful regardless of that name.

Today, December 31, 2025, is the 7th Remembrance Day of Writer-Actor Kader Khan who created a niche for himself in the midst of Hindi film’s first super star writer duo, Salim Javed. In fact, he went one step ahead of them as he was also a prolific character actor of various shades.
The life profile of Kader Khan ( 22/10/1937 – 31/12/2018) is an inspiring one. It is one more of ‘rags to riches’ stories of artists in Hindi film industries. He was born in Kabul but due to poverty, his family shifted to Mumbai and stayed in Kamathipura area in Mumbai. Soon, he lost his mother when he was an infant. His step mother ensured that Kader Khan completes his education. In the midst of extreme poverty, he completed his matriculation and joined Ismail Yusuf College in science stream. After passing Civil Engineering, he got a job as a lecturer in Saboo Siddik College of Engineering on a monthly salary of Rs.300/-. He worked as a lecturer for about seven years up to 1975.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-6
Today’s duet song which is composed by Rahul Dev Burman, fondly known as Pancham, is from the movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’. I have not watched this movie but when I browsed the list of its songs and listened to a few of them, this duet song sounded familiar to me.
This movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ was directed by Moeen Amjad for ‘Chetna Movies’. Shantilal J Sopariwala was the producer of this movie. The presenter of this movie was ‘Chetna Zarda & Co’ and in the title of this movie (in the version available on internet this credit for the presenter comes up with a picture of the container of its product i.e. ‘Zarda’ and printed on it is ‘Chetna Zafrani Zarda 131 flavored chewing tobacco’. 🙂
Those days movies showing tobacco products were not required to carry the statutary warning about the health hazards of these products that are mandatory now a days. This movie was passed by the Censor Board on 05.12.1988.
The cast of ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ included Mithun Chakravarty, Moon Moon Sen(as spelled in the titles of the movie), Shakti Kapoor, Girish Karnad, Kalpana Iyer, with Shobha, and Amrish Puri. Shubha Khote, Om Shivpuri, and Viju Khote had guest appearances in this movie while this movie introduced actor Manoj Verma. They were supported by Jalal Agha, Urmila Bhatt, Alka Nupur, Shantilal Suratwala, Monal Kriplani, Bhiku Verma, Tinu Verma, Kishan Thapa, Ranveer Raj, Kartik Dutt, Vasant Patel, and Jullien. Story and screenplay for this movie was written by Sachin Bhowmick and its dialogues were written by Akhtar-Ul-Iman. Editing of this movie is done by Anant Apte.
Playback singers for this movie are Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, and Shailendra Singh. This movie has six songs written by Anand Bakshi which were composed by R.D. Burman.
Rahul Dev Burman, the genius music director was going through a lean phase of his career during this period. Only six movies with his music were released in the year 1988. Here is the list of these movies with their status on this blog.
| Sno | Movie Title | Director | Lyricist | Date of Censor Certificate | Status on the Blog |

(*Co Music Director – Usha Khanna)
Today we introduce this movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ on the blog with this duet song sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. The song is picturised on Mithun Chakravarty and Moon Moon Sen. The picturisation of this song has taken place in scenic locations of Nepal (it can be deduced from the credits of the movie where various various authorities of Nepal have been thanked for their co operation).
Let us now listen to and enjoy this Pancham composition…

Today, December 25, 2025, is the 10th Remembrance Day of Sadhana, the fashion icon of Hindi cinema in the 1960s. She was also called the ‘mystery girl’ because she acted in three mystery genre of films one after another. In her short filmy career of about 15 years, she had a high success ratio in terms of hit films. She worked with top directors like Bimal Roy, Raj Khosla, Yash Chopra, Hrishikesh Mukherjee and H S Rawail. Her co-stars included Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor, Rajendra Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Raj Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Rajesh Khanna and Dharmendra. Sadhana came and conquered the Hindi film industry in the 1960s and by the end of 1970s, she virtually vanished from the film industry.

Remembering Mohammed Rafi Sahab – 101st Birth Anniversary
“Naghmon ka karwaan” is unleashed with this one name. We the Rafians are not in the mood to yet finish the centenary celebrations. The celebrated artist, the legend is celebrated everyday in various forms, through his songs, through the many fans, ever increasing, with newly exposed people. Though all the songs are 4 decades old, but somehow, they never grow old. The younger generation of new fans is ever increasing, and fan clubs abound in the whole world. The musically aware people, when they become aware of the phenomena called Mohammed Rafi, they are surprised and shocked, that where was he, all this while, how come they did not know of him. Then they come to know, that there lived a playback singer in India, who left for heavenly abode on 31st July 1980. But the songs and voice lives on, in the hearts and in the sound waves of the world.

‘Jumbish’ (1986) was produced and directed by a newcomer, Salahuddin Parvez who also wrote the story, screenplay, dialogues and lyrics for the film. Surprisingly, he had no connection with the film industry. He was an Urdu poet and writer having published 13 books of his poems and 3 novels. In this film, Akbar Khan and Padmini Kolhapure acted in lead roles.
I have already covered the story of the film in details in one of my earlier articles on the film, the link of which is here. The theme of the story is that since time immemorial, there has always been the tug of war between divines and devils in the world, the former wanting the peace and prosperity on an enduring basis and the latter worked to sabotage the same. This tug of war will go on in future also. But on every occasion, it is the peace-loving people who will be the ultimate winner.
