Hullo Atuldom

There is a saying “That Birds Of A Feather Flock” together.

This space in cyberworld that goes by the name “ATULSONGADAY.ME” is where some birds or lovers of music of the genre called “Film Sangeet” congregate. The main aim initially, was to appreciate the efforts of one man called Atul who got the idea of compiling songs which he thought were important to him & were from his ‘List of Favourites’.

He began the journey on 19th July 2008 with this post. It was a short post but gave absolutely accurate lyrics of a song written by Kaifi Azmi & composed by Roshan. There were 13 posts in that July, that is the blog lived up to its name of “SONGADAY”.

Mukesh and his Composers – 40

Coming to next part of this series, we take up the case of composer Shreekant Telang for whom Mukesh again has a solitary song. The film is “Santoshi Maa Ki Mahima” whose records were released in 1975, but for some unknown reason the film itself was released in 1981 with an altered name “Sampoorna Santoshi Maa Ki Mahima”.

With some difficulty, I was able to trace the movie and here it is. However, it is sans any songs. The titles are available, and thus we are able to confirm the film since the singers, composers and lyricist are known.

——————————————————————————————————

We are celebrating the eighty-sixth birth anniversary of the genius music director Rahul Dev Burman today (27 June 2025) who was born on this day in the year 1939.

Any discussion about songs composed by Rahul Dev Burman is incomplete without discussing songs penned by Gulzar Saab. The association of Pancham viz. Pancham was assisting his father Sachin Dev Burman – ‘The Prince – Musician’, and Gulzar Saab was assisting the great director Bimal Roy. Both Gulzar and Pancham struggled together to gain foothold in their chosen individual fields.

Mukesh and his Composers – 35

Who was the first woman music director in Indian films?

Well, to the unversed but having some intertest in HFM, Usha Khanna’s name would crop up in the mind. To the more learned ones, Saraswati Devi would be the answer. To experts, it would be Jaddanbai, the mother of legendary actress Nargis.

However, the credit goes to Ishrat Sultana aka Bibbo, who was the composer of Adl-e-Jahangir released in 1934. Jaddan Bai’s score for Talash-e-Haq was a year later in 1935.
