Today 19th October 2025 is the sixty-ninth birthday of actor Sunny Deol. He was born on 19th October 1957. He has been a director and producer of movies too and he was a Member of Parliament from 2019-2024.

On the occasion of birthday of Sunny Deol (real name Ajay Singh Deol), I am presenting a song from his debut film ‘Betaab-1983’. The song that I am presenting has been one of my favorite songs from those years and I like it very much. This song was my first choice for today’s presentation among many other songs that I had in my mind. The fact that it is a Pancham composition is another reason to bring it here today.

(Kishore Kumar’s 39th Remembrance Day 13th October 2025)

Yesterday 13th October 2025 was the 39th Remembrance Day of the legendary singer Kishore Kumar. He was born on 4th August 1929 at Khandwa (now in Madhya Pradesh) and he passed away at the age of fifty-eight only on 13th Octorber 1987 at Bombay (now Mumbai).

We are all aware Kishore Kumar started his singing career with the 1948 movie ‘Ziddi’ where he had given playback for actor Dev Anand. This was the song ‘marne ki duaayein kyun maangoon’. Kishore Kumar’s peak-time came during the end-of-sixties, and the decade of seventies was when Kishore Kumar’s voice was heard everywhere. He sang songs for many of the established actors as well as new-comers in the industry. And of course he was well-known as the voice of Dev Anand and voice of the Superstar-Rajesh Khanna.

‘Mehndi’ (1983) was produced by Dinesh Kumar and was directed by Asit Sen. The cast included Vinod Mehra, Ranjeeta, Raj Babbar, Tamanna, Raj Bothara, Madan Puri, Usha Kiran, Seema Deo, Meena T, Mohan Choti, Birbal etc. Bindiya Goswami and Sh akti Kapoor made their special appearances in the film. This was Asit Sen’s last Hindi film as a director.

There are confusion galore about two Asit Sen’s works in Hindi films on the internet. Suffice to say here that Asit Sen, the director of the film under discussion did not act in any Hindi film. He directed his first Hindi film ‘Mamta’ (1966) while Asit Sen, the comedian/character actor has also directed only two Hindi films, ‘Parivaar’ (1956) and ‘Apraadh Kaun’ (1957). Hence, there is a clear demarcation of their work as director in terms of the timeframe. Unfortunately, Asit Sen, the director is hardly remembered today who had directed some Hindi classic films such as ‘Mamta’ (1966), ‘Anokhi Raat’ (1968), ‘Khaamoshi’ (1969), ‘Safar’ (1970), ‘Annadaata’ (1972) and some Bengali films. Even if he is remembered, he is often mistaken with Asit Sen, the comedian. For example, an article in ‘The Hindu’ which appeared on April 02, 2010, under ‘Blast From The Past’, calls Asit Sen, the director of ‘Mamta’ (1966) as ‘a disciple of Bimal Roy’. Surely the writer has confused with Asit Sen, the comedian who had worked with Bimal Roy as his assistant director for his films of 1950s.

‘The Gold Medal’ (1984) was produced by Sham Behl under his banner, Time Films and was directed by Ravi Nagaich. The cast included Jeetendra and Raakhi in the lead roles supported by Shatrughan Sinha, Premnath, Bindu, Faryal, Jaishree T, David, K N Singh, Raja Pranjpe, Sundar, Janakidas, Keshav Rana, Jagdish Raj, Gulshan Bawra. Brahm Bhardwaj, Prabhu Dayal, Madhumati etc. Dharmendra made a ‘priceless’ appearance in the film as an union leader. The film belongs the genre of ‘James Bond’ type of spy thriller in the Indian setting.

The film seems to be in the making for a long time. It is said that the film was planned sometime in the second half of 1960s with Rajendra Kumar and Saira Banu in the lead roles. Incidentally, film’s producer, Sham Behl (elder brother of producer, Ramesh Behl) is the brother-in-law of Rajendra Kumar. Later, the lead pair was changed to Jeetendra and Raakhi and shooting of the film commenced in 1969.
