Hullo Atuldom

“Lakshmi” (1982) which was directed by B. S. Thapa; produced by Raja Desai & Raja Roy.

The story was revolving around Reena Roy’s character -Lakshmi; Raj Babbar played her husband Vijay Singh & son Ajay Singh. Ranjeet played a pimp who has a change of heart & emotion when Lakshmi addresses him as ‘Bhaiyya’ & pleads him to help her keep herself ‘GANGA KI TARAH PAVITRA’ inspite of being a courtesan. Nadira played the owner of the ‘Kotha’ where Lakshmi takes refuge in her bid to escape goons. She also has a change of thinking & heart when she sees Ranjeet standing up for Lakshmi when Kadar Khan (in a guest appearance)-playing a daku- tries to molest her. Nadira eventually takes sanyaas but not before seeing Lakshmi give birth to her daughter (she was pregnant with her second child when she had landed at the kotha)

Saw this film (and heard of it for the first time today) this afternoon on Doordarshan. Then I recalled that today (7 January 2024) is Reena Roy’s janamdin. She turns 67. She was seen in a lot of regular heroine type of roles before “Nagin” happened in 1976 and audiences & filmmakers saw what she was capable of. Movies by J. Om Prakash ‘Asha’, ‘Arpan’, ‘Apnapan’ etc. also helped her consolidate her place in Bollywood.

“Lakshmi” was a film on similar lines (like those J Om Prakash movies mentioned above) where her character goes through a lot of hardships before she dies in the climax. Dina Pathak, Jeetendra, Vinod Mehra, Sulakshna Pandit, Raj Mehra, Danny Denzongpa, Birbal, Seema Deo all had either special or guest appearances. Only Ranjeet, Bharat Kapoor & Raj Babbar had longer screen time.
As I read the background of Raja Roy, I found that he was Reena Roy’s brother & that explains why all those named under guest & special appearances were there in the cast. They have all been involved in Reena Roy’s journey in the industry at some time or the other.

Usha Khanna was the music director for songs written by Sahir Ludhianvi, Indeevar & Kaifi Azmi. Asha Bhonsle, Amit Kumar, Mahendra Kapoor were the playback singers used. The film had 6 songs of which the following two (both written by Sahir Ludhianvi) are on the blog.

Song Date of post Remarks
Jalwon se dil behla lo zamaane waalon 26 July 2013 lyrics by Avinashji
Seeta bhi jahaan sukh paa na saki 25 October 2018 post by Rajaji

Today’s is the pre-climax song, after which Bharat Kapoor dies and the film moves on to become a courtroom drama, where eventually the Public Prosecutor turns pleader for the accused. 🙂 This song is written by Kaifi Azmi.
Happy Birthday to Reena Roy.

Hullo Atuldom

Wishing all a very Happy 2024.

“Sanam Teri Kasam” (1982) was a film that was produced by Barkha Roy & directed by Narendra Bedi. It had music by RD Burman for songs written by Gulshan Bawra. The cast was headed by Reena Roy- Kamal Haasan- Kadar Khan with Jeevan, Ranjeet, Seema Deo, Jagdeep, Guddi Maruti, Birbal, Viju Khote, Raj Kishore, Bhagwandada, Mala Jaggi etc in the supporting cast. Mahesh Anand (who later married Barkha Roy) made his debut in this film, his dance moves were used in the title sequence. Kamal Kapoor had a guest appearance.

The story was inspired from Shammi Kapoor’s “Tumsa Nahin Dekha” (1957). That should give us an idea about the relation between Kadar Khan, Seema Deo & Kamal Haasan. Kadar Khan, who is separated from his family, is led to believe that Ranjeet is his biological son by Jeevan. Kamal Haasan who is employed in Kadar Khan’s hotel, is shown to have a grudge towards his father who had abandoned the family years back. Then there is Reena Roy who is Kadar Khan’s ward (his friend’s daughter) who falls in love with Kamal Haasan after a few scenes of Tu-Tu-Main-Main (bickering). So, all-in-all a movie with a regular story.

The songs were pretty feet-tapping, hummable & do send the listeners down-memory-lane even today. There 6 songs in the film of which Kitne bhi tu kar le sitam was a 2-version song. The following songs of the film are on the blog i.e. 3 out of 6 have been posted.

Song Date of post
Kitne bhi tu kar le sitam Multiple version song 21 apr 2012
Dekhta hoon koi lagki haseen 7 November 2013

We can see that the last song was posted 10 years & 2 months ago. Let us have one more today, on the occasion of R D Burman a.k.a. Panchamda’s death anniversary.

I had thought of another song from another film for today, that was also a Pancham- playback song this is also a Pancham-playback song. The song that I saved up for later use & the one in this post were part of my teenage years. But I shall not divulge that song now. We shall just sit back and enjoy this dance number which is part of that period in the film when Kamal & Reena haven’t yet fallen in love. It happens when the two are pranking each other.
I must admit that I was reminded of it when I heard it on Radio Ceylon this morning. Hearing it made me check if it is already on the blog. The film is 44 years old (I cannot believe it), but is it old enough to be called an old movie? 🙂

I also cannot understand the speed of light & time. It is already 4 days since the Gregorian calendar changed to 2024. It is already 365 days since I wrote this post. It is already thirty (30!!!!) years since RD Burman bid goodbye to this world. Why does time have to run ?

Thinking of the Music Director- Singer- Actor RD Burman who had his own style & was an inspiration for future music composers. He had a fan-following among his own fraternity as crazy about him as the aam-janta was. How else do we explain movies like ‘Dil Vil Pyar Pyar’ (2002), ‘Jhankaar Beats’ (2003) which were truthful about being tributes to Panchamda. There are other films too which keep paying homage to the genius. Filmfare named its award for the New Music Talent “RD Burman Award for New Music Talent” in 1995; & A.R. Rehman was its first recipient (apt winner in my opinion).

I think I must add that though he had been nominated for Filmfare awards since 1972 (for Caravan) he won his first Filmfare for “Sanam Teri Kasam” which was followed by an award for “Masoom” in 1984. His last Filmfare came in 1995 for “1942: A Love Story” but after his death.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
———————————————————————
(Debutant Movie – Bedard-1982 – Lyricist – Naqsh Lyallpuri-1)
———————————————————

Today’s song is a ‘gem’ of song which remained a lesser heard and lesser known song, which might be because it is from a movie few people are aware of. The title of the film is ‘Bedard’ which seems to be an obscure movie of its time. I like this song very much for its poetic value and the overall composition. it is sung by Bhupinder Singh and the song is composed by Kanti Kiran.

Hardly any information is available about the music composer Kanti Kiran, except that he had also composed music for the Hindi movie ‘Jhoom Uthhaa Aakaash-1973’. I had shared a few songs from this movie earlier here on the blog and liked them too.

Lyricist for the song is Naqsh Lyallpuri (24.02.1928-22.01.2017). He is well known for penning many unforgetteble songs. He was born as Jaswant Rai in Lyallpur (now in Pakistan) and later his family migrated to India after partition. When he started writing poetry he took his pen name as Naqsh and since he belonged to Lyallpur (now known as Faisalabad in Pakistan) it got added as ‘suffix’ to his pen name as was customary during those times.

The life story of Naqsh Lyallpuri can be considered a perfect example of how destiny and luck plays its role in one’s life to help become a person successful as well and allow him to follow one’s passion and do things what one like to do in his life.

He had to struggle a lot to achieve his success. Naqsh’s father was an Engineer by profession in Lyallpur. However his job was a transferrable job. So they had to spend few years in Rawalpindi before coming back to Lyallpur again. Naqsh’s father wanted him to be an Engineer while Naqsh’s Uncle who was a Doctor wanted him to be a Doctor. However Naqsh himself was interested in literature and poetry. His teacher Ramlal spotted the literary talent in him and advised him to continue learning literature. Naqsh also learned Urdu, Persian and Arabic from his teacher. At home they generally used Urdu or Hindi. Naqsh was later shifted to a hostel in Lahore where he found his way to the ‘adabee mehfils’ (meeting of littérateurs’) where budding poets and established poets met regularly and presented their works. Naqsh got an opportunity to present his poetry here in around ‘1945’ when he was seventeen years old. Comments and advices from the seniors there helped him to improve further.

After partition of the country the family of Naqsh Lyallpuri came to Lucknow. From here started the struggle for the family to earn and sustain living. Naqsh was under pressure to join some job and start earning. Since he was not getting any suitable opportunities in Lucknow he decided to go to Bombay. He left Lucknow without telling his family members, with only two rupees in his pocket, and reached Bombay. He had a ‘pen-friend’ Pradeep Naiyyar in Bombay whom he thought of meeting in order to seek his help for some job. However, when he reached his friend’s place he found that he had gone out of station to Poona for two weeks. Naqsh was on the road looking for some shelter as he had already spent the money he had. He saw one Sardar ji near the place, whom he enquired with about some ‘shelter’ near-by. This Sardar ji helped him to get accommodation in Sarai – Gurudwara Matunga. The Sardarji also told him that he could stay at the Gurudwara for eight days with food two times in the langar. At the Gurudwara another generous Sardar ji who was from Ludhiana, helped him with some money when the later was returning back to Punjab.

Once it so happened that Naqsh set out to have a ‘paan’ after his meal at a ‘paan shop’ near ‘Citylight cinema’. At the ‘paan shop’a gentleman alighted from a car. It turned out that he was Deepak Ashaa friend of Naqsh from his Lahore days. He had become a film actor in Bombay. Deepak Asha (also known as film director Dharam Kumar who directed ‘Ghamand-1955’, etc.) took Naqsh to his home in Bombay and arranged for his stay and food in Bombay.

Naqsh got his first job in Bombay in the Post & Telegraph department at Mandvi post office in Bombay.

Naqsh never thought of writing for films. He came to Bombay in 1951 to get whatever work he could get to have a decent living. In his P&T job his job was to allocate staff based on requirement. People coming in his contacts loved him since he was a poet. This first job gave him earning of Rs.122.00 to 125.00 per month. However he quit his job as the job was not giving his the creative satisfaction that he craved for.

By this time he had earned some reputation as a’ poet-writer’ among his contacts who used to visit him regularly. Some of them suggested him to write a ‘play’ which they would arrange to stage. The title of this play was ‘Tadap’. Ram Mohan who was a well-known actor then was the lead actor of this play. Naqsh had also written five songs for this play. Ram Mohan was quite impressed with his works and he introduced Naqsh Lyallpuri to director Jagdish Sethi who was the director of the movie ‘Jaggu-1952’. Thus Naqsh Lyallpuri got his entry into the ‘Hindi Film World’.

After writing some songs for stunt films (which Naqsh was reluctant earlier, as he want to write for ‘social films’ only) he finally ‘rose to fame’ with the song ‘main to har mod par’ from the movie ‘Chetna-1970’. In between Naqsh Lyallpuri also wrote songs for many Punjabi films. In Hindi films most of his collaborations were with music director Sapan-Jagmohan, Jaidev and Khayyam.

We will be exploring his filmography and his collaborations with other music directors in future posts under this series. We will also discuss his most popular songs and songs that remained lesser known but had his ‘trademark’ ‘soft, tender and meaningful’ poetry in them.

Let us start this journey of ‘songs’ written by Naqsh Lyallpuri with a song from the movie ‘Bedard-1982’ in this post.

“Bedard-1982” (passed by Censor Board on 29.06.1982) was directed by Rajdeep for ‘R.K. International, Bombay’. It was jointly produced by Qadeer Khan & Rajdeep. The director Rajdeep had also written Story, screenplay and dialogues of this movie. He had also done the editing of this movie. The cast of this movie included Neeta Mehta, Vikram, Rajdeep, Rehana Sultana, Kanan Kaushal, Master Shiboo, Bharat Bhushan, Jairaj, B.M. Vyas, Kamalakar Date, Padmashree, Ajay Chaddha, Ashok Nag, Mohan Choti, Montu, Baldev Kalsi, Amul Sen, Yunus Bihari, Javed Khan, Sonu, Baby Haseena, Baby Anita, Dilip, Jabbar, Pushpa Singh, Rashid, Tuntun and others.
‘Bedard-1982’ has three songs written by Naqsh Lyallpuri and composed to music by Kanti Kiran. Bhupinder Singh and Asha Bhonsle had given their voices to the songs in this movie where Bhupinder Singh has one solo (with chorus) and Asha Bhonsle has sung two solo songs for this movie.

The director of this movie Rajdeep who also acted in this movie seems to be a multifaceted personality who has done acting, lyrics writing, direction, producing films and writing for Hindi Films. As a director he has the following movies to his credit.

1) Iraadaa – 1971
2) Basti Aur Baazaar – 1973
3) Hazaar Haath – 1978
4) Sister – 1980
5) Bedard – 1982

I could not find more information about director the Rajdeep (like his biographical information etc) except that he has done acting, writing, singing in films other than direction of films. He has been a producer of few movies too.

Coming to the movie ‘Bedard-1982’, I guess that this movie is not available online. I had never watched this movie earlier and I was not aware of this movie till recently. ‘Cinemaazi’ mentions the story of this movie in brief here which they mention has been taken from the ‘official press booklet’ of this movie. The story of the movie is of ‘love and sacrifice’. I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and picturisation of its songs.

Let us now listen to this song which is written by Naqsh Lyallpuri and composed by Kanti Kiran. From the sources available we can conclude that this is the only movie where they worked together. Bhupinder, my favourite singer has sung this song. Over to the song now…

With this song this movie ‘Bedard-1982’ makes its debut on the blog.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————
(Birthday – Music Composer-Rajesh Roshan)

Today 24th May is the sixty-eighth birthday of music director-lyricist Rajesh Roshan(born on 24.05.1955). He is one of my favorite all time composer.

I had earlier written about him in a couple of my earlier posts on the blog. So I am not going to repeat all that here again. One thing I definitely write again is that Rajesh Roshan’s songs are part of the ‘big nostalgia’ of my growing years and may be many people like me are fond of him and
his compositions .

Today on the occasion of his birthday I am presenting a song from the movie “Hamaari Bahu Alkaa-1982”.

It was directed by Basu Chatterjee for ‘Anuradha Films. Shyam Sundar Seksariya was the producer of this movie.

Basu Chatterjee also wrote the screenplay and dialogues of this movie. Story of this movie was written by Manoj Basu.

Editing of this movie was done by V.N. Mayekar.

The cast of this movie included Rakesh Roshan, Bindiya Goswami, Asrani, Prema Narayan, Utpal Dutt, Sudha Shivpuri, Master Raju, Ranjeet Sood, Manik Dutt, Aroop Ganguly, Lakshami, R.S. Chopra, Viju Khote Meghdoot, Manmauji, Pappu, Soni, Dev Sharma, Meena, Satya Bannerjee, Pratap, Jayshree T., Meena T., and others.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 12.01.1982.

I remember to have watched this movie at Akola, but I have forgotten about it by now. One thing that I still remember is that I liked this movie very much. It is movies like this one that I love to watch.

“Hamaari Bahu Alkaa-1982” has five songs. Three were written by Yogesh and two by Amit Khanna.

Music for this movie was composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Usha Mangeshkar, Amit Kumar, Shailendra Singh, Alka Yagnik and Peenaz Masani had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

Here is the list of songs in this movie:-

SNo Song Title Lyricist Singer/s
01 Soona soona soona ghar hota hai ek naari binaa Yogesh Lata Mangeshkar, chorus
02 Prem ki hai kya sun paribhaashaa Amit Khanna Kishore Kumar
03 Ham tum rahenge akele wahaan Amit Khanna Amit Kumar, Alka Yagnik
04 Ghar mein khul ke ham nahin mil sakte Yogesh Usha Mangeshkar, Amit Kumar, Shailendra Singh, Peenaz Masani
05 Pakka jaamun todo nahin Yogesh Alka Yagnik, Peenaz Masani

In my earlier post with the song of ‘Ratnadeep-1979’ I had mentioned about Basu Chatterjee – the director of this movie – having a great ‘ear’ for music. He mostly had Rajesh Roshan as music director in his movies. They have given some of the timeless classics and unforgettable songs in Hindi Film History.

They worked together in the following eight movies:-

SNo Title of the movie Passed by Censor Board Lyricist/s Music Director
01 Swaami 17.05.1977 Amit Khanna Rajesh Roshan
02 Khattaa Meethhaa 30.12.1977 Gulzar Rajesh Roshan
03 Priyatamaa 20.09.1977 Anjaan Rajesh Roshan
04 Dillagi 18.07.1978 Yogesh Rajesh Roshan
05 Baaton Baaton Mein 31.03.1979 Amit Khanna, Yogesh Rajesh Roshan
06 Manpasand 26.06.1980 Amit Khanna Rajesh Roshan
07 Hamaari Bahu Alkaa 12.01.1982 Yogesh, Amit Khanna Rajesh Roshan

(I hope I have compiled the above table correctly. Readers can point out mistakes and suggest additions if any).

Today I am presenting another ‘signature composition’ of Rajesh Roshan from themovie ‘Hamaari Bahu Alkaa-1982’. I like this song very much. It is sung by Kishore Kumar. I was longing to share this song since long on the blog.

On screen the song starts in background first and then we can see Rakesh Roshan lip-syncing the song.

Lyrics are by Amit Khanna and music is composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Enjoy this wonderful song …

Situation of the song 🙂

Our hero (Rakesh Roshan) has got married but he is still studying. So his father (Utpal Dutt) wants him to spend focus more on ‘studies’ instead of spending more time with the ‘bahu’. As usual ‘jab ghar mein nayi bahu aati hai to bete ko kaun poochhtaa hai, waise hi yahaan bhi sab log din-bhar ‘bahu’ ke peechhe pade rehte hain, aur wo thhak kar raat ko jaldi so jaati hai. So our ‘newly married’ hero cannot spend ‘quality time’ with his wife (Bindiya Goswami).

His classmate (Asrani) suggests him to bunk the classes in day time and to go home, as at that time neither his father nor his younger brother would be at home so nobody should disturb the couple during that time…

The ‘hero’ is attending a class in the ‘class room’. He laeves the class room, and then he begins to dream of this song . 🙂

With this song, the movie “Hamaari Bahu Alkaa-1982” makes its debut on the blog…

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023)– Song No.119
————————————————————————————–
Ah.. Raj Kapoor – the Showman. Sometimes also referred to as the Greatest Showman of Indian Cinema. A lifetime affair with the camera – very prominently handled both ends, sometimes in front of it, and then also behind it. Starting with childhood appearances accompanying his illustrious father to studios. And on to be a performer himself. And very soon, a producer – to quench his thirst, rather his search, for the ultimate story of love.

Raj Kapoor – the eternal seeker, the eternal explorer – in quest for the meaning of love equation between a man and a woman. All his life he produced films. The subjects, the scenarios varied, but against all the scenarios the unwavering theme, the unchanging premise of emotions flowing from one heart to another.

What does it take to define this equation? He has explored this question incessantly through his films and the music of his films. It is said in the industry – he had a Midas touch for music. No matter which film one picks. There may be commentaries and reviews about the films, but always, the music. The music was always the winner. And it is through the songs and music of his films that he expressed this search, this quest – for the meaning of love – endlessly.

His films almost always bring together the lovers in disparate and trying situations. What does it mean to be in love when, by normal discourse, love may not, cannot happen. And yet it does. From his very first venture as a producer – film ‘Aag’ of 1948, he had Saraswati Kumar Deepak write for him

kahin ka deepak kahin ki baati
aaj baney hain jeevan saathi

These verses kind of set the journey in motion that lasted for almost for four decades till the Showman decided in 1988 to hang up his director’s cap. On and on, one film at time, one can trace this quest for the meaning of love throughout his journey. The words and verses never ever failed to chalk up the emotions that were the matter of his quest. ‘Barsaat’ came in 1949 and with it, it brought the timeless melodies of

o o o,
mujhe kisi se pyaar ho gaya

and

meri aankhon mein bas gaya koi re
mujhe neend na aaye main kya karoon

With ‘Awaara’ of 1951, the theme resounded with the melody of

ghar aaya mera pardesi
pyaas bujhi in nainan ki

In 1953, when ‘Aah’ came to the theater screens, audiences were not so enamored by the sad somber story of a love lost. But yet again, the music said it all, and forever.

sunte the naam hum, jinka bahaar se
dekha to bola jiya jhoom jhoom ke

The journey continued in 1955 with ‘Shri 420’, touching towering heights of emotional expressions with the simplest of words.

ramaiya vasta vaiya
maine dil tujh ko diya

To date, no verse writer worth his salt has expressed this emotion in words more simple than these.

The proverbial icing always has been the on screen presentation of these wonderful melodies. The visions of the song presentation are a heart warming journey of visuals stringed with the words played on arias of melodies that proved to be incomparable even to this day. There is no peer, no comparable expression that can, or that will replicate the emotional highs of

pyaar hua iraar hua hai
pyaar se phir kyon darta hai dil

And the voyage carries on with the search for that promised destination that may reveal that ultimate truth of this mystery of love. ‘Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai’ – 1961. A very brief verse in the middle of a song, seems to encompass the entire story of this quest.

itna sa dil tu de de agar
saara jag tera ho jaaye
saara jag tera ho jaaye

‘Sangam’ came in 1964. It came with a bevy of emotions that crossed through so many layers of the mind’s labyrinths encompassing compassion, sacrifice, friendship, betrayal – and yes, love of course. And the hearts would sing these lines forever

har dil jo pyaar karega
wo gaana gaayega

and

o mere sanam, o mere sanam
do jism magar ik jaan hain hum
ik dil ke do armaan hain hum

Then came the magnum opus in 1970. ‘Mera Naam Joker’ – a commercial disappointment initially which has later ended up becoming a cult film in its own right. A lifetime’s search for love, culminating in show at a circus. One after another, love appears in life of the Joker, but always leaves him alone at the end. And the heart of the Joker has these words to sing

bhoologe tum, bhoolenge wo
par hum tumhaare rahenge sada

Beyond that, now new generations were taking over. Romance and love donned new faces and new dresses in ‘Bobby’ (1973). The words got a different expression, the music changed, but the soul sound of love remained what it has for centuries – unchanged. A new voice was now strumming the drums and saying

. . . par pyaar bhara dil kabhi na todo
is dil mein dilbar rehta

And alongwith came the declaration that

deta hai dil de, badle mein dil ke
. . . . . .   pyar mein sauda nahin

Then in 1978 came another significant milestone in this journey – ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’. With the thesis that the truth is always akin to God, and thus, it is always beautiful. The mind’s conflict between the truth of the beauty and the beauty of imagination is again a timeless discourse, dealt once again with the verses of tradition

bhor bhaye panghat par

and

sainyaan nikas gaye main naa ladi thi

‘Prem Rog’ appeared in 1982 and the Showman’s last venture – ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’ appeared in 1985.

‘Prem Rog’ was was a creation that came forth three and a half decades after his quest had debuted in ‘Aag’. And the wonder of the outcome thus far, thirty five years in the making, and the explorer still ended up with the question that started his quest way back in 1948. For in this film, he yet once again poses the question

ye din kyon nikalta hai
ye raat kyon hoti hai
ye peed kahaan se uthti hai
ye aankh kyon roti hi
….
mohabbat hai kya cheez, hum ko bataao
ye kis ne shuru ki, hamen bhi sunaao

The essence of a lifetime of search. At the end of his energies after years of exploring. And the explorer is yet asking the same question. Again. A lifetime spent in synthesis, after having sung so many beautiful verses in its praise, after equating it to God and saying – that which is true, it also is beautiful. And then negating all these achievements, discarding all the experiences of the landmarks of the journeys, the seeker once again picks up the question that had started his journey decades earlier.

And thus remains the enigma – as it is. The final offering of 1985 – ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’ brings a last message

sun saiba sun
pyaar ki dhun

Just listen to this aria of love. Do not search it with a question. Just savor the strumming emotions, and let this dhun immerse oneself, take one into the unknown unseen depths. Just relish and delight in this feeling of love – do not ask any questions of it. The wheel of life having come a full circle, and yet a definitive and culminating statement still could not be made. Such is it – the mystery of LOVE.

Ah yes, now for the song presented with this post. 1982 was the year when the young mind was still innocently concerned with the questions about this emotion. The film came along and I do remember I had seen it on the big screen. The analysis of how the realities of the society and the bitter truths of life, were still years ahead in time. The mind always was simply happy at witnessing a happy ending. Always assuming that all the hiccups and tribulations on the way are a conjuring of the story tellers mind, and that lovers are always destined to meet. Ah, the loveliness of that innocence, believing in the good always.

But that discussion in maybe another post, for another song of love.

‘Prem Rog’ is a story of unexpressed love, and maybe also love about which the lovers themselves are not aware. A young girl from a rich traditional family, a young lad – and orphan without any antecedents. And they are good friends, for the boy frequents the home of the girl to do sundry jobs for the household. The girl gets married, and widowed, in quick succession – in like a blink of the eye. Circumstances bring her back to her parent’s home. The contact is re-ignited. And the emotoions that were not expressed not understood till then, now come floating into the heart. There follows a long and grueling struggle, ultimately violent, with the social norms and traditions. However, a happy ending at the end.

I liked the film on two counts. One was a very stark, almost harsh portrayal of the tribulations of a young widow in a very conservative family. And second, it was a refreshing feeing to see Nanda and Tanuja both on screen after a gap. Of course, Shammi Kapoor was the added attraction.

A minor trivia. Padmini Kolhapure, at 17, became the youngest individual recipient of the Filmfare Best Actress Award for this film.

Songs of ‘Prem Rog’ are quite hummable and became very popular in their time. There are 6 songs in this film, five of which are already showcased on our blog. This is the sixth song to make it here, which brings us to declare ‘Prem Rog’ to be Yippeee’d on the blog.

The shooting of this song sequence is something special to mention. The film was shot in the studio and some scenes in and around a farm house on way to Poona. This particular song, no guesses, is shot in the tulip fields at Kukenhoff, close to Amsterdam in Holland. Yes, the same place where the ‘Silsila’ (1981) song “Dekha Ek Khwab To Ye SilSile Huye” was also shot.

It is interesting to note that the song opens with the lead pair on a bicycle. The bicycle looks very typically Indian. So one must assume that the artifact was carried by the shooting team from India to Holland.

The words of the song are very beautifully crafted. As the song opens, Devdhar (role played by Rishi Kapoor) blesses Manorama (role played by Padmini Kolhapure) with the years of his own life. In the first stanza, Manorama tells of the extremely difficult phase she is passing through, and tells Devdhar that she is a flower that has already been plucked from the branch. In the second stanza, Devdhar tells her about the temporary nature of happiness and sorrow in life, and that the days past are already past. In the third stanza there is an exchange. Manorama tells Devdhar that the sleep from her eyes is gone, and also cautions him that the flower he trying to pursue is not sweet any longer. And Devdhar responds that the flower is beautiful and innocent. As we watch the video clip of the song, one can see some realizations dawn on the face of Manorama.

The words are crafted by Pt Narendra Sharma, and give a very sophisticated and literary feel to the verses. Music is by Lakshmi-Pyaare. The singing voices are of Lata Mangeshkar and Suresh Wadkar. Suresh Wadkar had appeared on the film scene as a singer in 1976. This song likely was recorded in 1981.

The video clip has two stanzas, whereas the audio clip carries all the three stanzas. The lyrics given below are based on the audio clip.

Enough said, I believe, so let us get on to listen to this sonorous melody.

Blog Day :

5401 Post No. : 17723

This is the song, part of which is shot near to the Thajiwas glacier, near Sonamarg, Kashmir. This is the route going to Laddakh, travelling east of Srinagar.   Further on this road falls Kargil area, about which many people have told me is much too beautiful to miss.  Laddakh is a sight to behold too.  I have missed both Laddakh and Kargil, but hope to visit in future, in-sha-Allah.

When we spoke to local people and guides in the valley at Sonamarg, one of them told us that many Hindi film songs are filmed in the area and very near to the Thajiwas glacier.  He mentioned a song from the 1982 film ‘Satte Pe Satta’. I forgot all about this and only discovered this song accidentally.  It is indeed filmed nearer to the glacier, than we could travel.   A few decades ago, the vehicles were allowed to go up to the valley where the glacier is near, and the rivers and waterfalls start, fed by the Thajiwas glacier.   Obviously, the location is visible from the highway, but far away for us city people to walk up or even ride a horse. I clicked great many photos, to capture different fingers of the main glacier, whatever I could see from one side i.e. the highway and Sonamarg side. It must be magnificent to look at from the other sides, which are truly remote and not habitable areas. This is only one glacier of the 10,000 which fall in the Indian territory. One needs several lives to fully watch and savour the magnificence of the Himalayan Mountain range, and its various attributes and aspects.  The Himalayas were formed due to the friction and constant northward movement of the Indian plate against the Asian plate, over thousands of years.

This is my previous post on Kashmir visit – “Jiya Jiya Re Jiya Re“.

Todays’s song is from the film ‘Satte pe Satta’ (1982), which is mostly shot in Kashmir over 40 years ago, and one part of it is near the famous glacier. Must be in fair weather, the full star cast of the film went up there to shoot in bright sunlight. But they all returned to the base farmhouse/ farmstead where rest of the song is filmed. The singers are RD BurmanKishore KumarAsha BhosleBhupinder SinghSapan ChakrabortyBasu Chakraborty and the music is composed by RD Burman.  The lyricist is Gulshan Bawra and it is the title song of the film.

Interestingly, Gulshan Bawra has rhymed the words satte pe satta with the word albatta.  This gives us a unique word, and as far as I am aware, used only once in a Hindi film song.  The word is a common usage affirmative / emphasising in cultured chaste Urdu.   In old Hindi films this word is common, in dialogues, where the speaker wants to say or assert a view, despite this or inspite of that, ‘albatta‘, the truth prevails 😊.

اَلبَتَّہکےاردومعانی پوشیدہ فعلمتعلق یقیناً، قطعیطورپر، بےشک، ضرور، یقینہےکہ، لیکن، مگر، اتناضروریہے

albatta. अलबत्ताالبتہ. although, but, on the other hand. Isth

This explains the origin of the word.

Is the English word ‘albeit’ derived from the Urdu word ‘Albatta’?

No, the word ‘albeit’ is not derived from the Urdu word ‘Albatta’. ‘Although’ is a conjunction that means ‘in spite of the fact that’ or ‘even though’. It is derived from the Old English word ‘þeah’ which means ‘even though’ or ‘although’. The Urdu word ‘albatta‘ is a conjunction that means ‘although’ or ‘notwithstanding’. It is derived from the Arabic word ‘al-batta‘ which means ‘however’ or ‘despite’.

I have fond memories of watching this film at Minerva (or was it Apsara?) in 1982. We lived in the BEST officer’s quarters and the many families decided to watch the film collectively.  The tickets were booked through the theater management, via the PSU’s good offices, as the supplier of electricity. I remember the theater management had put up a welcome message for the BEST officers and their families on screen, before the start of the film.

I am truly amazed to have had such unique experiences of movie watching, in theaters. Some memories, like being hit with a clothes hanger, and being forced to go to watch ‘Muqaddar ka Sikander’ (1978); and leaving the Liberty cinema in interval after not watching ‘Lekin’ (1990), walking up to Maratha Mandir to watch a re-release matinee show of ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ (1960) in knee deep water-logged streets; the experience of watching coins being thrown at the screen on the song “Tere Chehre Mein Wo Jaadu Hai” in a dilapidated theatre in Belgaum while watching ‘Dharmata’ (1975) sometime in the mid 80’s; the best of which is my friend being told by the usher, “No madam, it is waiting for you” at Regal cinema where we were late for the show of ‘Gone With The Wind’  (1939), in reply to her question “Has the movie started?”. There are more such memories, which will surface in time.  I will share them in future posts.

Song – Dukki Pe Dukki Ho Ya Satte Pe Satta (Satte Pe Satta) (1982) Singer – Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhosle, Bhupinder Singh, Sapan Chakraborty, Basu Chakraborty, Lyrics – Gulshan Bawra, MD – RD Burman

lagte hain pyar ke mele
jaayenge sabhi akele
koi faraq nahin albatta
koi faraq nahin albatta
hoy koi faraq nahin albatta
koi faraq nahin albatta
dukki pe dukki ho
ya satte pe satta
dukki pe dukki ho
ya satte pe satta
gaur se dekha jaaye
to bas hai patte pe patta
koi faraq nahin albatta
koi faraq nahin albatta
hoy koi faraq nahin albatta
koi faraq nahin albatta

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

During the months of November-December 2022, I had presented couple of ‘drunkard’ category or ‘drink driven’ category songs on the blog. The last one was posted on 03.12.2022. I think the blog is ‘overdue’ 🙂 for another such song.

So, here is a song from the movie ‘Ashaanti-1982’.

‘Ashaanti-1982’ was directed by Umesh Mehra for ‘Eagle Films, Bombay’. It was produced by Parvesh C. Mehra.

The movie had Rajesh Khanna, Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi, Shabana Azmi, Mithun Chakravarty, Kanwaljeet, Amrish Puri, Jeevan, Narendra Nath, Monty, Mac Mohan, Kishore Kapoor, Yusuf Khan, Ram Sethi, Nadira, Satyen Kappu, Bob Christo, Mohan Choti, Avtar Gill, Ajay Agrawal, Amir Jambra, Yusuf, Ganesh, and others.

Prem Kishan and Ramesh Deo make a special appearance in this movie.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 01.05.1982.

Here is a brief about this movie as mentioned by Peevesie’s Mom ji in her post while discussing a song from this movie.

“Ashanti” was one of the multi-starrers of that year. It had Rajesh Khanna heading a cast of Shabana Azmi, Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi, Mithun Chakravarthy, Kanwaljeet, Amrish Puri, Satyen Kappu, Jeevan Ramesh Deo, Nadira, Pinchoo Kapoor, Narendranath, Monty Nath, and many more known faces that formed the supporting cast. It was an action film and was the story of an honest & dedicated police officer played by Rajesh Khanna who intercepts a bank robbery but is himself caught with the suitcase of stolen money, tried in the court and jailed. Further twists in the tale lead him to losing a leg too. On his release from prison he seeks out the wrong doers and for this he has help from the three heroines and Shankar Dada played by Mithun. If my memory is correct, one of the heroines is also the lost daughter of Amrish Puri who is the cause of all the troubles of the police officer. The movie comes to a close after a lot of drama and high voltage action.

This movie had five songs composed by R.D. Burman. Lyrics for all the five songs were penned by Anand Bakshi.

Following is the list of songs in this movie:-

S.No. Song Title Singer/s Posted On
01. Ru ru ru ru … Dil diya hai maine dil diya hai Asha Bhonsle, Amit Kumar 29.12.2022
02 Main hoon sharaabi, nahin ji nahin Shailendra Singh
03 Naa tujhse naa mujhse oye naa mujhse naa tujhse, hamse hai yah duniya Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Shailendra Singh 29.12.2021
04 Suniye main jis shahar mein jaati hoon… laungi mirchi main Kolhapurchi Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle 19.11.2017
05 Shakti de ma … o pag pag thokar khaaun chal naa paaun … Chandrashekhar Gadgil, chorus 29.12.2012

So far four songs from this movie have been posted on the blog. Today’s song is the fifth and final song from this movie.

This song is sung by Shailendra Singh. Mithun Chakravarty performs on this song. The picturisation shows Mithun at a ‘sharaab thheka’ with Mohan Choti with him. Also seen in the picturisation is Parveen Babi who seems to be on some ‘sceret agenda’out to take advantage of Mithun’s intoxicated condition. 🙂

With this song all songs of ‘Ashanti-1982’ get covered on the blog and this movie joins the ‘list of movies-all songs covered’.

Let us say ‘Y i P p Ee eE’ to ‘Ashanti’ as the movie ends its journey on the blog on a “high” with this ‘drunkard’ song. 🙂

S.No. Song Title Singer/s Posted On
01. Allaah beli…sahaara hai naakhuda Mahendra Kapoor, chorus
02 Tujhe maroongi phoolon ki maar sajna Mahendra Kapoor, Asha Bhonsle
03 Suno ik baat bolen Lata Mangeshkar, Nitin Mukesh 28.09.2014

Two songs from this movie ‘Naakhuda-1981’ have been posted on the blog earlier as mentioned in the above table.

Today’s song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor. Sudhir Dalvi is seen lip-syncing this song on screen.

Lyrics noted are as per the audio link (which is a longer link and may have repetition of lines of chorus and stanza lines too).

The picturisation of the song is shown in the background of the movie titles where we can see Sudhir Dalvi (as a ‘Fakir’) and other devotees (?) sailing in a boat.

The song relates the ‘captain of the boat/ship’ – ‘Naakhuda’ to God and says that he is the sailor, captain, rescuer, and director like the God in the hour of ‘crises. He is the commander of the ‘fate’ or ‘destiny’ of the travellers in the boat and also he is as great as God and treat all equally with love and shower his love on all irrespective of their caste, creed and religion.

Let us enjoy this wonderful song…

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————
(Birth Anniversary – Maya Govind – A tribute)

Today 17th January’2023 is the eighty-third birth anniversary of poet lyricist Maya Govind.
She was born on 17th January’1940 and she passed away last year on 06th April’2022 at the age of eighty-two.

I had in my earlier post last year mentioned about her in detail. This post had come in the month of February’2022 last year. Two months later, we had the news of her sad demise.

Today as we pay our tributes to her. I am reproducing the same text here which is about her biographical details and journey into films.

Maya Govind is said to have challenged the male dominance in the lyrics writing in movies and had established a distinguished place for her in lyrics writing in Hindi movies.

Maya Govind was born on 17th January’1940 in Lucknow. Her father (Harnath Vahal) was a cloth merchant in Lucknow. Maya Govind and her two younger sisters were the three siblings When Maya Govind was still a child her father lost his eyesight. His wife – Maya Govind’s mother – was a housewife, and all his children were small kids. So, all his shops and slowly his house too was taken over by his relatives. That forced her mother to take shelter in a rented house.

When Maya Govind was only five years old, she lost her father which left the family in bad economic condition. In this situation her maternal uncle helped them to survive and to get education to the children. Maya Govind was the eldest among the three sisters. She completed her B.A. and B’ Ed.

Maya Govind got married while she was in her first year of B’ Ed. However, her marriage didn’t last long, and she returned to her mother within three months of her marriage. She continued doing B’ Ed and joined a four-year course in ‘Bhatkhande Sangeet Vidyalaya’. She also learned ‘Kathhak’ from Shambhu Maharaj. She did plays for Radio in Lucknow. Later she started teaching at Bal Vidya Mandir Lucknow. During this she keep doing acting in plays and joined the famous stage artist Kunwar Kalyan Singh.

She had been writing poetry since she was eleven years old. Once when Bharat Bhushan and his brother producer Ramesh Chandra (better known as R. Chandra) spotted her during their visit to her school and impressed by her poetry R. Chandra asked her to visit Bombay. That was in 1966.
R. Chandra offered her three movies to write lyrics for (these were ‘Mushaira’, ‘Megh Malhar’, and ‘Baap Bete’). She wrote eleven songs for ‘Mushaira’ and returned to Lucknow. Suddenly R. Chandra died in between, and only two songs were recorded then under the baton of Music Director Khayyam. (Later R. Chandra’s son Rakesh Chandra included these two songs in the movie ‘Muthhi Bhar Chawal’ in ‘1975’.)

In 1965-66 Govind Arora (alias Ram Govind)- a famous writer and stage personality – came to Lucknow from Samastipur, Bihar to look artistes for his plays. Maya Govind was offered the lead role. During this association they become close friends and got married in 1967. Ram Govind too got settled in Lucknow. Both founded the ‘Darpan Naatya Sanstha’ in Lucknow.

In 1972 Maya Govind came to Bombay to participate in a ‘Kavi Sammelan’ where one among the audience was the famous producer director Ramanand Sagar. Impressed by her poetry he signed Maya Govind for lyrics writing for his movie ‘Jalte Badan’ which was released in 1973. In this movie she wrote all the lyrics for all the four songs in the movie. Around the same time, she came into contact with Guru Dutt’s brother Atmaram who was making the movie ‘Aarop-1974’ then. He offered her lyrics writing for this movie. Music for this movie was composed by the legendary Bhupen Hazarika. The song ‘nainon mein darpan hai’ got popular from this movie.

During this time famous producer Tarachand Badjatya recorded three poems of Maya Govind for a private album. Tarachand Badjatya also offered her to perform in his movie titled ‘Kavi Sammelan-1972’.
In 1988 Maya Govind set up her own production house- ‘Bahar Productions’ which produced ‘Tohfa Mohabbat ka’ which was not a commercial success and later she launched movie ‘Taandav’ which was shelved after shooting of 13 reels due to financial problems. Her recent movie as lyricist was ‘Baazar-E-Husn’ under Khayyam Saab.

Today as a tribute to Maya Govind we are going to listen to a beautiful song written by her from the movie ‘Baawri-1982’.

“Baawri-1982” was directed by A.C. Trilokchander for ‘G.G.K. Enterprises’. It was produced by G. Gopalkrishnan.

‘Baawri’ had the star cast of Raeksh Roshan, Jayaprada (in title role), Dr. Shreeram Lagoo, Nirupa Roy, Asrani, Seema Deo, Kamal Deep, Sunil Dhawan, P. Joshi, A. Shakuntala, Yogeeta Bali and others.

This movie introduced Vikrant Dutt.

‘Baawri’ has six songs written by Maya Govind and they were composed by Khayyam Saab.

Maya Govind and Khayyam had collaborated in the following films.

1. Mutthi Bhar Chawal(1975) 02 songs
2. Baawri(1982 ) 06 songs
3. Razia Sultan(1983 ) 01 song
4. Banaras-1918 A Love Story(2006) 01 song
5. Yaatra-The Journey(2006) 01 song

Not many songs. I wish they could have collaborated more so that we would have got many memorable songs to cherish.

Today’s song from ‘Baawri-1982’ is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Yesudas. It is a very nice song with equally beautiful poetry, singing and composition. I like this song very much.

Lyrics for this song were sent by Prakashchandra.

Earlier one song from this movie has been posted on the blog long back in 2012. This song also is another wonderful divine composition by Khayyam Saab with pure verses by Maya Govind.

Let us listen to today’s song and pay our tributes to Maya Govind. This song is performed on screen by Rakesh Roshan and Jayaprada having some illuminating locations and illuminating performance (?) 🙂

Also seen in the picturisation of this ‘mujraa’ set-up song are Padma Khanna, Leena D’Souza aka Leena Das, Subroto Mahapatra, Madan Puri, Arun Govil, Chandrashekhar,Tarun Ghosh, Cocacola(aka Kamal raj Bhasin), Maanik Dutt.

Let us enjoy this wonderful song sung by Bhupinder Sing and performed by Sanjeev Kumar so well suited to the ‘title role’ he played in this movie. By the way I like such songs very much (in right earnest and intentions 🙂 ):)

Over to the song now…

Lyrics( Provided by Prakashchandra)

ishq detaa hai mere ae
dil ko tadap
husn detaa hai
mere
dil ko sukoon oon
ayyaash hoon
main ayyaash hoon
ayyaash hoon
main ayyaash hoon
ishq detaa hai mere
dil ko tadap
ishq detaa hai mere
dil ko tadap
husn detaa hai
mere dil ko sukoon
ayyaash hoon
main ayyaash hoon
ayyaash hoon
main ayyaash hoon

ek dariya hai shabaab
jismein behti hai ae ae sharaab
uss pe bashar ki ye raat raat
mujre ki ye raat
raat mujre ki ye raat
chaandni ke aks mein
gulbadan hai raqs mein
haath mein aen ho
haath mein saaghar mere
sar mein junoon
ayyaash hoon
main ayyaash hoon
ishq detaa hai mere
dil ko tadap
husn detaa hai
mere dil ko sukoon
ayyaash hoon
main ayyaash hoon
ayyaash hoon
main ayyaash hoon

kaam apne ae kaam se ae
shauq mujh ko jaam se ae
paani aag mein milaa
laa pilaa o saaqiya
laa pilaa o saaqiyaa
hai yahi fitrat meri
hai yahi aadat meri
hai yahi ee
hai yahi mera kirdaar
main kyaa karoon oon
ayyaash hoon
main ayyaash hoon
ishq detaa hai mere
dil ko tadap
ishq detaa hai mere
dil ko tadap
husn detaa hai
mere dil ko sukoon oon
ayyaash hoon
main ayyaash hoon
ayyaash hoon
main ayyaash hoon
