Hullo Atuldom

Vani Jairam (30th November 1945- 4th February 2023) was a playback singer who was known to easily adapt to any difficult composition & vocal range. She was the youngest artist to be awarded the “Sangeet Peet Samman”. She won the National Film Awards for Best Female Playback Singer three times and also has won State Government awards from the states of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat. In 2012, she was honoured with the ‘Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award – South’ for her achievements in South Indian film music. She has recorded songs in most Indian languages except Sanskrit. She was well versed in various forms of music -Carnatic, Hindustani, thumri, ghazal, and bhajan. Apart from singing, she was also a songwriter, composer, and painter.

She was born “Kalaivani”, in Vellore, Madras Presidency of British India into a family of classically trained musicians as the fifth daughter among six daughters & three sons. She was attracted to Hindi film songs as she used to be glued to Radio Ceylon. It seems she used to memorize and reproduce the entire orchestration of the songs that used to repeatedly play on the Radio. At the age of 8 she is said to have given her first public performance on All India Radio Madras.

She was employed in a bank at the time of her marriage & managed a transfer to Mumbai. She started learning Hindustani Classical, on being persuaded by her husband, from Ustad Abdul Rehman Khan of Patiala Gharana, & gave a public concert in 1969. Around the same time, she was introduced to music composer Vasant Desai who was recording with Kumar Gandharva (at that time). He heard her voice & she got to sing along with Kumar Gandharva in that album which was well received by the Marathi audience. Her road to popular film music began in 1971 with “Guddi” for which her mentor Vasant Desai was the music director. She went on to sing for Chitragupta, Naushad, Madan Mohan, O.P. Nayyar, R.D. Burman etc. etc. Films from South India came into her kitty from 1973 when she recorded for music director S.M. Subbaiah Naidu, unfortunately neither that film nor that song was released. Her first released Tamil song was for a 1973 film which was with T M Soundararajan. 1973 also saw her sing for the Malayalam film ‘Swapnam’ under Salil Choudhary music direction. She was popular in Telugu, Kannada, Odia, Gujarathi, Marathi, Marwari, Bengali, Bhojpuri, etc.

She has around 250 songs to her name in Hindi films (I am clueless about her non-film songs). She is most remembered for her rendition of Meera bhajans under Pt. Ravi Shankar’s music direction for the 1979 film “Meera” for which she won her first Filmfare award of Best Playback Singer in 1980.

I could have easily picked a song from that film for today’s post- there are still 6 songs of that film to choose from. But I am also trying to remember the popular music director of the 1980s & part of 1990s with this post. Hindi film music lovers love him for many of his compositions but still hate the songs that he gave us post 1983. He was one music director who we just cannot ‘close our ears or eyes to’. Some purists didn’t like what he served us but we cannot deny that his ‘tohfa tohfa tohfa’, ‘nainon mein sapna’, ‘I am a disco dancer’, etc are popular even today. We love his ‘maathe ki bindiya boley’ as much as ‘sainyya bina ghar soona soona’. And the list of ‘loved songs’ by this composer may be bigger than the list of ‘not-so-loved’ songs.

I am sure readers would have guessed that I am referring to Bappi Lahiri who was born as Alokesh Lahiri in 1952 on November 27th. His parents were (also) singers & musicians. His maternal family included the Ganguly brothers i.e. Kishore Kumar, Anoop Kumar, Ashok Kumar were his maternal uncles & Amit Kumar is a cousin. He came to Mumbai at the age of 19, & first gave music to a Bengali film. His first Hindi film was ‘Nanha Shikaari’ (1973).
In my personal opinion the best song by Bappi Lahiri that Vani Jairam sang was this, which is already posted on our blog.

Today for Vani Jairam’s birth anniversary (she would have been 78) we shall have a song from the 1985 release “Wafadaar”. The songs of the film were written by Indeevar & Bappi Lahiri was the music director. It starred Rajnikanth, Padmini Kolhapure, Vijeta Pandit, Anupam Kher, Sushma Seth, Satyen Kappu, Ashalata Wabgaonkar, Asrani, Paintal, Dinesh Hingoo, Viju Khote & Kadar Khan with Shakti Kapoor. The film was directed by Dasari Narayan Rao & produced by Shrikant Nahata. I am sure it must have been a remake of some Telugu or Tamil film.

With two heroines the story may have been a love-triangle but the main plot was Anupam Kher plotting to obtain Sushma Seth’s wealth by wooing & marrying her daughter Padmini Kolhapure. For this he take the help of his servant Rajnikanth, who catches on to Anupam Kher’s intentions and protects Padmini, falls in love with her & marries her to happily-live-ever-after SIMPLE!

Let us listen to this melodious song in Vani Jairam’s voice which gives us a very different (for those times) Bappi Lahiri.

Hullo Atuldom

On 26th September 1923, in Shakargarh Tehsil of Gurdaspur district of Punjab (undivided India) a third son was born to the well-to-do advocate Pishori Lal Anand who was named Dharamdev. Dharamdev went on to become the heartthrob of Hindi film fans as DEV ANAND.

He followed his older brother Chetan Anand to Bombay (called Mumbai these days), did various jobs & also joined his brother’s Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA). Seeing Ashok Kumar in ‘Achhut Kanya’ & ‘Kismet’ inspired him to become an actor. He is said to have gate-crashed into the office of Prabhat Films (don’t recall where I read this), and Dev saab has said in an interview that Babu Rao Pai of Prabhat Films felt that this ‘boy deserved a break after seeing his smile, beautiful eyes & tremendous confidence’. That smile (which showed a missing tooth), those eyes (which depicted a hundred emotions) & confidence stayed with Dev saab forever.

Personally speaking, I was introduced to this performer by my dad who was a huge Movie buff. He used to love seeing films first-day-first-show, as a college-goer, and if the film had Dilip-Dev-Raj in the cast then those movies would be seen a few more times. So, when we used to see old movies (meaning movies of the 1950s & ’60s) on doordarshan’s evening shows, he made sure I saw “Paying Guest”, “Munimji”, “Tere Ghar Ke Saamne” and all the other Dev Anand favourites of his. Additionally, we used to hear songs on Radio Ceylon’s morning broadcast which made me fall in love with ‘jeevan ke safar mein raahi’. ‘shivji bihaane chale’, ‘maana janaab ne pukaara nahi’, ‘haay haay yeh nigaahen’, ‘ek ghar banaunga tere ghar ke saamne’, ‘hai apna dil toh awaara’ and many more. (I listened to radio Ceylon this morning too, and went down memory lane).

Some more Dev Anand songs got added to my list of ‘loved songs’ as I grew older- ‘ruk jaana o jaana humse do baatein’, ‘pal bhar ke liye koi humein pyar karle’, ‘kuch bhi karlo ek din tumko meri hona hoga’, ‘choodi nahi mera dil hain’ etc. I must confess that I started appreciating ‘kiska rasta dekhein’, ‘main zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya’, ‘kya se kya ho gaya’ and similar songs only over the last 10-20 years.

Dev Anand is credited with introducing many new faces to the film industry and if I am not wrong Kalpana Kartik (his wife) was also his discovery. He made a good pair with actress of later years too i.e. post 1970. Can one forget all the movies that he acted with Hema Malini, Zeenat Aman, Mumtaz, Rakhee, Tina Munim etc. Still later, when he stopped acting as a romantic main lead he introduced Tabu, Richa Sharma, Attley Brar, Bunty Behl etc. to the film industry in “Hum Naujawaan” (1985) where he played father to the teenaged Tabu.

It would have been his 100th birthday today if he was still around. I have numerous songs to choose from for this occasion. I was thinking of the song from “Hum Naujawaan” for it shows Dev Anand as a doting father. RD Burman was the music director for this film which had songs written by Anjaan & Indeevar. Peenaz Masani, Anuradha Paudwal, Mohd Aziz, and Kishore Kumar & Asha Bhonsle were the singers used. In addition to Dev Anand, Tabu, Richa Sharma, Attlet Brar, Bunty Behl, the film had Dr. Shreeram Lagoo, Anupam Kher, Zarina Wahab, Tabassum, Ramesh Deo, Bharat Kapoor, Pinchoo Kapoor etc in the cast.

Remembering the forever young-at-heart Dev Anand with this song which was written by Anjaan.

Rajesh Khanna – The Phenomenon – 12
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –- – –

Today 18th July 2023 is the ‘eleventh remembrance’ anniversary of Rajesh Khanna.

He was born on 29th December’1942 and he passed away on 18th July’2012.

Much has already been written about him in the media (print & digital) and on this blog and much has been known to movie-goers and general public too.

So I am not going to repeat it here again.

In the Indian Film Industry the Rajesh Khanna era started with ‘Aradhana’ in ‘1969’. Peoples like me, who were born in the end-sixties or early seventies and after that, were too young to witness that ‘mass hysteria’ that people with first hand experience are never tired of telling us.

Even in the reality shows nowadays on TV, guest celebrities who were co-stars of Rajesh Khanna always mention it that ‘irrespective of the controversies surrounding him and the negative aspects being talked about him he was a ‘great actor’ and nobody in the film industry have got the ‘love and affection’ from people like Rajesh Khanna got .

In this episode we are going to have a look at Rajesh Khanna movies from the year ‘1985’.

The year ‘1985’ saw as many as nine Kaka movies released during it. The list of these nine movies is as given below.

SNo Movie Title Director Passed by Censor Board Co-artistes
1 Aakhir Kyon? J. Om Prakash 28.08.1985 Smita Patil, Rakesh Roshan, Tina Munim
2 Aawaaraa Baap Sohanlal Kanwar 19.11.1985 Rajan Sippy, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Madhuri Dixit
3 Alag Alag Shakti Samanta 20.09.1985 Shashi Kapoor, Tina Munim
4 Bewafaai R. Thyagarajan 01.07.1985 Rajinikant, Tina Munim, Padmini Kolhapure, Meenakshi Sheshadri
5 Insaaf Main Karoongaa Shibu Mitra 10.05.1985 Tina Munim, Padmini Kolhapure, Shakti Kapoor
6 Masterji K. Raghvendra Rao, B.A. 22.08.1985 Sridevi, Kader Khan, Anita Raj
7 Oonche Log Brij 06.05.1985 Danny Denzongpa, Prem Chopra, Salma Agha, Preeti Sapru
8 Zamaana Ramesh Talwaar 06.04.1985 Rishi Kapoor, Ranjeeta, Poonam Dhillon, Om Puri
9 Baayen Haathh Kaa Khel Vijay Kaul Unreleased Tina Munim, Pran, Waheeda Rehman, Danny Denzongpa
10 Babu (1983) A.C. Trilokchander 04.10.1985 (In theatres) Hema Malini, Mala Sinha, Rati Agnihotri

Out of the ten movies mentioned above one movie ‘Baayen Haathh Kaa Khel’ was not released and it remains an unreleased movie till date.

The movie ‘Baabu’ was passed by Censor Board in ‘1983’ but it was released in theatres in ‘1985’.

During 1983 to 1985 I was staying in Akola with my grand-parents for my 11th-12th studying there in vocational junior college. However as I have mentioned earlier I was more on ‘cricket’ and ‘movies’ than into my studies and finally I failed in the exams (as expected by me 🙂 ).

I remember I had watched ‘Zamaana’ at Akola before moving to Parli-Vaijnath as my 11th-12th was completed (or finished 🙂 ). Overall it was an ‘average movie’ if I am correct.

After reaching at Parli-Vaijnath I had joined a company for job and was working there. However, there was a cricket tournament at Akola and so my friends called me back there and I went to participate in this tournament.
During this time I had watched ‘Masterji’ there at Akola and I remember how disappointed I was, as I do not like the movie at all.

Then I watched ‘Oonche Log-1985’ at Parli-Vaijnath which had good music by R.D. Burman and everything was good in the movie except Salma Agha so this movie of Kaka was another flop movie.

The company I was working with at Parli-Vaijnath had their head quarter at Nagpur. Once I was sent for some work at Head Office at Vijay Nagar (near Sadar) Nagpur. After finishing the official work I took time to watch ‘Aakhir Kyon?’ at ‘Panchsheel’ theatre at Nagpur. I remember I liked this movie and Kaka’s role in it very much.

Out of the remaining movies from the list now, I remember I watched ‘Alag Alag’ and ‘Baabu’ at Parli Vaijnath either in theatres or in video parlors. The reviews of ‘Baabu’ were very good and the movie had a good collection too in its first week. But it didn’t keep it further.

I do not get to watch the remaining movies further.

If we take a look at the list of ‘highest grossing movies’ of ‘1985’ on IMDB it mentions the following Rajesh Khanna movies as ‘Hits’ in this list.

1) Hum Dono (of 1984) (rank 4)
2) Bewafaai (5)
3) Baabu (9)
4) Masterji (12)
5) Insaaf Main Karoongaa (13)
6) Zamaana (15)
7) Durgaa (of 1984) (18)
8) Aakhir Kyon? (20)
9) Alag Alag (33)

(There are 47 movies in IMDB’s list as highest grossing movies of ‘1985’ out of which the first 31 are considered as ‘super-hits’ (?) and the rest 16 as ‘average’ movies’. I hope this analysis must be supported by factual figures (?) The topper of this list is ‘Ram Teri Gangaa Maili’ about which nobody should have doubts of-course.)

Today I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Oonche Log-1985’.

‘Oonche Log-1985’ was directed by Brij for ‘Dynamo Enterprises, Bombay’.

It was produced by Sayeeda Sadanah, R.K. Kapoor, and R. P. Sharma.

It had Rajesh Khanna, Salma Agha, Prem Chopra, Preeti Sapru, Deven Verma, and Danny Denzongpa, Pradeep Kumar, Pinchoo Kapoor with Raza Murad in special appearance.

Story and screenplay of this movie was written by Surhid Kar. Dialogues of this movie were written by Ved Rahi.
Editing of this film was done by Waman Rao (I guess he is from the famous duo of Waman Rao Bhonsle-Guru Dutt Shirali).

‘Oonche Log-1985’ was passed by Censor Board on 06.05.1985.

This movie has five songs written by Anjaan and composed to music by R.D. Burman.

Kishore Kumar and Salma Agha had given playback to the songs in this movie.

The songs of this movie are very good if not great. Out of the five songs Kishore Kumar and Salma Agha have sung three solo and one solo song respectively. And one song is a duet song sung by Kishore Kumar and Salma Agha.

Here is the brief about the story of this movie…

Rai Bahadur (Pinchoo Kapoor) is big businessman and Jagdev Singh (Rajesh Khanna) is his son. Jagdev Singh gets married to a girl (I am unable to identify the actress) who has saved his life, against his Father’s wish who wants him to marry him with his friend’s daughter. Jagdev Singh leaves his father’s home with his wife and they are expecting a child.
Raju (who grows up as Rajesh Khanna later) and his mother met an accident by a car of Thakur Vikram Singh (Pradeep Kumar). In this accident Raju loses his mother while his father had already passed away earlier.
Thakur Vikram Singh brings Raju to his home to stay with them. However Vikram Singh’s son Maan (Danny Denzongpa as a grown up Maan) hates Raju while Vikram Singh’s daughter Poonam (Salma Agha as grown up Poonam) likes Raju.
Thakur Vikram Singh sends Maan to boarding school since he do not approves his habits and style of living.

Thakur Vikram Singh has a brother Thakur Pratap Singh who is a womanizer and spends money on alcohol and racing too. He is eyeing on his brother’s property and gets him smothered. Raju watches this which Pratap Singh is unaware of.

After Thakur Vikram Singh’s death Raju’s life becomes more miserable. Pratap Singh calls Maan back to home and throws Raju in the stable where a good soul Khan (Raza Murad) has a soft corner for Raju and treats him kindly always.

Raju grows up on bad treatment and constant beating by Maan for reason one another but doesn’t want to leave the place because of Poonam. Many times Poonam helps him and Raju also saves Poonam on several occasions too (like during horse riding, snake biting etc).

Raju and Poonam love each other which Maan gets noticed and beats Raju black and blue.
To save Raju from Maan, Poonam tells Raju that she didn’t love him. Raju decides to leave but in between Pratap’s men caught Raju on the way to get him killed.
They tie Raju with ropes to horses and dragged him to the hills and thinking him dead throws him for the vultures.

However Rai Bahadur and his accomplice Mubarak Ali (Deven Verma) with their gunmen and driver, who are on hunting around that location, save Raju.
Rai Bahadur is more than happy to meet his grandson which Raju also gets to know when Rai Bahadur shows him photographs of his father.

Now Raju becomes Rai Bahadur Rajiv Singh and on the other side Maan Singh is losing financially day by day due to wine, women, horse-racing and an embezzling uncle.

Rai Bahadur Rajiv now plans for his revenge with Maan so he sends a profitable business offer to Maan through Mubarak Ali and Maan starts losing more in shares on the advice of Mubarak Ali. There is a suspicion when Maan and Pratap meets Rai Bahadur Rajiv Singh or Raju however Raju never gives them a chance and keep them suspecting and he also starts flirting with Sonia (Preeti Sapru who is fiancé of Maan Singh). (That is also to hurt Poonam more)

Finally when Raju is telling Pratap about the secret of him which he is a witness to, Maan secretly listens to their conversation and the reality of Pratap is dawned upon him. Maan plans to take revenge of his father’s killing by Pratap and took Pratap near the valley and on the gun-point he gets Pratap Singh thrown in in the ‘valley of death’.

Raju returns everything to Maan and forgives Maan for his all cruelties on him, because his father’s kindness who had given him a shelter in his childhood after he lost his mother.
While Raju leaves the ‘haveli’ Maan asks his sister Poonam to go with Raju who is her true love.

***

Now one dialogues from the movie by Rajesh Khanna which I like most …

(This is when Sonia (Preeti Sapru) asks Raju (Kaka) why he is suffering (like a ‘ghulaam’) and questions him why he does not leave and lefts this place…)

“Shaakh kaanton ko sirf isliye bardaasht karti hai memsaab, ke us par kaanton ke saath saath phool bhi khilte hain.
Main bhi usi shaakh ki tarah hoon jo pyaar ke phool ki khaatir zulm aur nafrat ke kaante bhi bardaasht kar rahaa hoon”

***

Today’s song happens when Raju is feeding horses in the stable 🙂 and starts reminiscing about his childhood days with Poonam.

We have Rajesh Khanna (in Kishore Kumar’s voice) and also Salma Agha in the picturisation of this lovely song.

***

Now we will have a look on the Kaka movies released in ‘1975’ (ten years back of 1985) that is around forty-eight years back from now, we have the following movies of Rajesh Khanna released in the year ‘1975’.

Today’s song is the first song from the movie ‘Oonche Log-1985’ in the movie and on this blog too. This movie makes its debut on the blog today and joins the movie with the same title which was released in the year ‘1965’.

Let us enjoy the today’s song now and pay our tributes to Rajesh Khanna on his ‘remembrance day’ today…

Rajesh Khanna’s birth anniversary – A tribute

Today 29th December’2022 is the eightieth birth anniversary (29 December 1942 – 18 July 2012) of Rajesh Khanna, born as Jatin Khanna. Had he been alive, he would have turned eighty today.

On this occasion for today I could not complete my earlier planned post for this day under my series ‘ Rajesh Khanna – The Phenomenon’. However, since I do not want to miss to contribute for today’s occasion, I am presenting a song from a Rajesh Khanna movie so as to pay our tributes to Rajesh Khanna today.

I will also not repeat what I have earlier written about Kaka and his movies on the blog.

When I was looking for a song for today, I first thought that I will present a song with Pancham-Kaka-Majrooh combination. Later, I check for a Pancham-Kaka-Anand Bakshi combination and lastly, I thought I would present a song from a recent movie (i.e., from the eighties) of Rajesh Khanna. Finally, I decided that I will select a movie from the year ‘1985’ only, a year in which maximum movies of Rajesh Khanna were released.

And when I check the songs of this movie ‘Insaaf Main Karoonga-1985’ and went through its’ songs I found a song sung by Bappi Lahiri for Kaka. In this movie he has given his voice for two songs to Kaka. How did I forget all this? Even I do not remember if I had watched this movie then?

But one thing I remember that this movie was not a successful movie then, though ‘Wikipedia’ mentions it ‘a golden jubilee hit movie’ (?) now.

“Insaaf Main Karoongaa-1985” was directed by Shibu Mitra for ‘Seth Films International’.
It was produced by B.S. Sethi.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 10.05.1985.

The star cast of ‘Insaaf Main Karoongaa’ included Rajesh Khanna, Tina Munim, Padmini Kolhapure, Shakti Kapoor, Om Shivpuri, Joy Mukherjee, Tez Sapru, Leena Das, Aruna Irani, Chandrashekhar, Uttam Sodhi, Bob Christo and others.

This movie had six songs written by Verma Malik and Anjaan three songs each.

Here is the list of songs contained in this movie:-.

SNo. Song Title Lyricist Singer/s
01 Ye kya huaa….aap ki nazron se dil pe goli chalne lagi (part 1) Anjaan Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle
02 Ho ho ho… dum taana dum taana bole rabaab Verma Malik Shabbir Kumar, Manhar, Chandrani Mukherjee
03 Ek baras mein ek baar hi aati hai ye raat yaaron Verma Malik Bappi Lahiri
04 Salma o Salma main hoon Salma Verma Malik Sharon Prabhakar
05 Honey… kuchh maangu to dena Anjaan Asha Bhonsle, Bappi Lahiri
06 Ye kya huaa….aap ki nazron se dil pe goli chalne lagi (part 2) Anjaan Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle

Today’s song is sung by Bappi Lahiri as mentioned above. Lyrics are by Verma Malik, and music is composed by Bappi Lahiri himself.
(Readers will also note something special each time Bappi Da sings ‘ek’ in his style 😊 ).

On screen it is Rajesh Khanna performing on the song in his inimitable style. Also seen in the picturisation of this song are Tina Munim, Om Shivpuri (whose intentions does not look good 😊 ) Tez Sapru and many others.

This song is nice party song and I guess it is a ‘new year celebration party’ in the movie.

Anyway, we do also have a reason to celebrate- for Rajesh Khanna today – for his style and charisma and the memories of his movies with us. Secondly, we have only three days of ‘2022’ now, so let us cheer and celebrate 😊

Listening to this song may remind of some other song of same tune but I am not able to put a finger to the original song.

With this song this movie “Insaaf Main Karoongaa-1985” makes its debut on the blog.

Hullo Atuldom

“Saaheb” (1985) was a movie produced by Rupa K. Gandhi, Rajni A. Ganguly & R.M.Valia. It was directed by Anil Ganguly who had directed ‘Tapasya’, ‘Kora Kaagaz’, ‘Humkadam’ etc before “Saaheb”.

Readers may remember that all the movies that I have mentioned were family dramas with good music. Barring ‘Kora Kaagaz’ the other two had Rakhee as the central character who has to support her family. “Saaheb” also had Rakhee as a supportive bhabhi for Sunil Sharma whose nickname in the movie was Saaheb and that character was played by Anil Kapoor. Utpal Dutt played the patriarch of the Sharma family which consists of four sons- three of who are married, and two daughters- the youngest yet to be married. Saaheb addresses his father as “Royal Bengal Tiger”.

Saaheb, a football- goalkeeper, is always demotivated by his older brothers and bhabhis. They keep telling that when the whole team is running behind the ball, the goal keeper is cooling his heels at the goalpost. The oldest bhabhi (Rakhee) is the only one who understands him. When the father finds himself short of resources, at the time of his daughters’ wedding, Saaheb bails the family out specially when the older brothers try to bend the situation to their benefit. The family later comes to know that how Saaheb has managed to find the money and at what cost. The father also acknowledges that Saaheb is the real goalkeeper of the family.

Today is the 66th birthday of Anil Kapoor. He is touted as looking young and fit forever. He is a proud father of Sonam Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor and Harshvardhan Kapoor and also a grandfather too.

We are revisiting Saaheb to wish Anil Kapoor on his birthday. The song is sung by Kishore Kumar, written by Anjaan and composed by Bappi Lahiri. It shows Anil Kapoor walking along a ground where young boys are practising football. He doesn’t show any sadness on his countenance about never being able to play the game again. He was too good in the movie which was critically acclaimed. The movie was one of the first to show what organ donation was all about and the paperwork and medical angles associated with it.


Song-Kya khabar kya pata (Saaheb)(1985) Singer-Kishore Kumar, Lyrics-Anjaan, MD-Bappi Lahiri

Lyrics

kya khabar kya pata
kya khushi hai
gham hai kya
kya khabar kya pata
kya khushi hai
gham hai kya
leke aansoo jo hansi de
gham ke badle jo khushi de
raaz yeh jaana usi ne
zindagi kya hai zindagi
kya khabar kya pata
kya khushi hai gham hai kya

kal ki baaten bhool jaa
guzri raaten bhool ja
khwaab jo sach ho sake na
uski yaaden bhool ja aa
kal ki baaten bhool ja
guzri raaten bhool ja
khwaab jo sach ho sake na
uski yaaden bhool ja aa
jo na haare bebasi se
na kare shiqwa kisi se
raaz yeh jaana usi ne
zindagi kya hai zindagi
kya khabar kya pata
kya khushi hai
gham hai kya
leke aansoo jo hansi de
gham ke badle jo khushi de
raaz yeh jaana usi ne
zindagi kya hai zindagi ee
kya khabar kya pata
kya khushi hai gham hai kya

#Bhoole-Bisre Geet #

(#Music Composer-Singer-Bappi Lahiri#9 – The magic of Bappi Da & Kishore Kumar)

Today’s song is another Bappi Da-Kishore Kumar song which I like very much since the release of its movie. I had not watched this movie and over the years I only remember this song and one other song of this movie which is ‘naina ye barse, milne ko tarse’ which too I like very much. However I had always thought these songs as the compositions of Laxmikant-Pyarelal. It was only when I noted down the lyrics of this song for presentation that I came to know that it was a composition of Bappi Lahiri and not Laxmikant Pyarelal.

There are some nice songs given by Bappi Lahiri-Kishore Kumar combination in the eighties till 1987 when Kishore Kumar passed away. I seem to have lost track of many such songs and it is only nowadays that I am getting reaquainted with them on ‘radio programmes’.

Today’s wonderful romantic Kishore Kumar song is one such song. This is from the ‘1985’ movie ‘Mohabbat’.

‘Mohabbat’ (1985) was directed by Bapu. It was produced by Inder Kumar-Ashok Thakariya.
It had Anil Kapoor, Vijayata Pandit, Amrish Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Aruna Irani, Amjad Khan, Shammi, Ram Mohan, Sundar, Shubha Khote, Satish Kaushik, Chitti Babu, Asha, Manmauji, Dev Sharma, Sehgal and others.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 15.05.1985. Movies with the same title were released in ‘1943’, and ‘1997’ as well.

We have the ‘1943-Mohabbat’ already represented on the blog.

“Mohabbat-1985” has five songs in it which all were written by Indeevar. Music for this film was composed by Bappi Lahiri.

Here is the list of songs of this movie.

S.No. Song Title Singer/s
01 Saanson se nahin …mohabbat se chalti hai duniya Kishore Kumar, chorus
02 Mehbooba paayi hai maine kaisi… Kishore Kumar
03 Zindagi mein pehla pehla toone … Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle
04 Apne Laila ka jo pyaar nahin paayegaa Kishore Kumar, Amit Kumar, chorus
05 Naina ye barse milne ko tarse … Lata Mangeshkar, chorus

Today we are going to listen to a song sung by Kishore Kumar from this movie. This song is lip-synced by Anil Kapoor on screen. Vijayata Pandit is also seen in the picturisation. The song has been shot at some beautiful outdoor locations I think.

With today’s song this movie “Mohabbat-1985” makes its debut on the blog.

Let us listen to today’s song now…

Today 4th August 2022 is the ninety-third birth anniversary (4 August 1929 – 13 October 1987) of Kishore Kumar.

For the music lovers and readers associated with this blog today is another great day and we remember Kishore Da today and pay our tributes to him today here on the blog.

Today I have been late in sending this post to our editors and I sincerely hope that they will get time to consider and post this one. For more than a month now there is a ‘special project’ going at my workplace and because of this I am getting very less time to participate in blog activities. Though I wish to write and send many posts and many songs keep going through my mind on daily basis, but I am unable to concentrate and put in my energy on writing. I hope things to get back to normal after this ‘two months’ project gets over.

Today’s post got delayed because I was unable to make my mind up while making the selection. There are so many Kishore Kumar songs yet to be posted on the blog.
Since today is his birth anniversary I first looked for a happy song, then a fun song, then a romantic song, only a solo song, inspirational song, motivational song etc etc.

There was one song lying since years and pending to be posted, but it was a duet song and I did not wish to post a duet on this occasion today. I even noted two other songs, but then decided to send other.

Finally, I selected a Pancham composition which is in a sombre mood. Nevertheless listening to Kishore Kumar’s voice in this soulful song will bring back many memories for the readers. Poetry in the song by Majrooh Saab is also very nice and philosophical. The music prelude, the guitar and the mouth organ in between used in this composition is also very nice to listen to.

The movie and its songs were not much popular during its time. Nevertheless the overall musical score for this movie by Pancham Da is very very nice.

So here I am presenting a song from the ‘1985’ movie ‘Sitamgar’.

‘Sitamgar-1985’ was directed by Raj N Sippy for Bikramjeet Films International, Bombay and produced by Bikram Singh Dehal.

It had Dharmendra, Parveen Babi, Rishi Kapoor, Poonam Dhillon, Dr. Shreeram Lagoo, Prem Chopra, Jagdish Raj Gurbachan, Ranvir Raj, Azad, Tilak Mehta, Raj Kaul, Shamsuddin, Nath Kamle, Ved Akash, Ashok Gaekwad, Master Alankar, and Baby Geeta. Narendra Nath, Sonia Shania, and Sudhir make special appearance in this movie.

Ved Aakash and Pankaj Kharbanda were the Chief Assistant Directors of this movie. Ashok Gaekwad was the Associate Director for this movie.

V.N. Mayekar was the editor while Sakharam Borse assisted him in editing. Story and Screenplay of this movie was written by Mirza Brothers and dialogues were written by Dr. Rahi Masoom Raza.

This movie had six songs written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed by R.D. Burman (Manohari, Babloo and Martin were assistants). Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar gave their voices to the songs in this movie.

Today’s song is picturised on Dharmendra who is riding on a horse. It reminds us of many songs with similar picturisation.

Lyrics are by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and music is composed by R.D. Burman.

The audio version is having three stanzas while the video of this song is of only two stanzas.

Let us now listen to the great voice Kishore Kumar and take a journey down memory lane …

Hullo Atuldom

KJ Yesudas – the bridge between South Indian and North Indian songs. Classical – both Carnatic and Hindustani, Light Music, Bhajan, and film music have been enriched by this maestro who turns a year older, today the 10th of January. Some people are omnipresent in our lives – Yesudas is one of them. We have grown up hearing him sing “Gori Tera Gaaon Bada Pyaara“, “Kaa Karoon Sajani Aaye Na Baalam“, “Dil Ke Tukde Tukde Karke Muskura Ke Chal Diye“, “Koi Gaata Main So Jaata” and numerous other songs. And for his fans who also understand other languages “Mayechi Sauli” from ‘Nanand Bhavajay’ (1991), and a few songs in Bengali, Oriya, and a few international languages too. I am not listing his songs from South Indian films that will be on the personal playlists of his fans.

I cannot forget that it was Yesudas’s voice that made me (a certified Bollywood addict) appreciate some Krishna bhajans “Krishna Ne Begane Baaro” (for one) and the lori (lullaby) that is played in the Sabarimala Temple before the temple closes for the day “Harivarasanam” (a video that was uploaded five years back) (original recording). I am sure there will be followers of the blog who will be able to give us a list of their favourite bhajans that were rendered by the legend KJ Yesudas.

In my honest opinion he is a fit recipient of the Padma Awards- Padma Shri in 1975, Padma Bhushan in 2002, and Padma Vibhushan in 2017. Additionally he has won eight National awards for Best singer and numerous State Awards and Filmfare Awards. It is a measure of his stature that Swaralaya award for music artistes in recognition of their outstanding performance is named ‘Swaralaya Yesudas Award”- this award is instituted by a Kerala entertainment channel and Swaralaya an organisation that promotes music. I can go on and on about all the awards that he has been bestowed upon.

As I set out to write this post I had a feeling that we may have run out songs by Dasettan (as he is addressed by his Malayalee fans) I find that we have only 62 songs from Hindi films on the blog, so that means we have a long way to go.

Today we are going to hear a song from ‘Maha Shaktimaan’ (1985). I don’t recall anything about this movie even if it is a release of the ’80s, other than the ‘non-ear non-eye’ friendly Asha Bhonsle song ‘Mamalu Mamalu’ (this also I recalled when I googled for songs of this film). But thankfully there is a better song in this movie which is sung by Kavitha Krishnamurthy and Yesudas, a song which has Yesudas’s trademark classical touch to it. The music director for this movie is Bappi Lahiri and Indeevar was the lyricist. The movie seems to have had only three songs and cast that had Meenakshi Sheshadri, Raj Babbar, Kim, Danny, Pradeep Kumar, Urmila Bhatt, Karan Shah, Jaya Malini etc. From the poster in the video of the accompanying song it appears like a dance of Raj Babbar and Meenakshi, but since I didn’t find a video to go with it we cannot be sure.

For today’s presentation we have a song from the movie ‘Aar Paar-1985’. This movie will make its debut on the blog today. This was one of the reasons to select a song from this movie. The other reason being that the song is sung by R.D. Burman himself. Another reason is that this song is a lesser-heard song as well. But if one listens to this song a few times it grows upon you. It is a very nice hummable philosophical song.

Today (4 january 2022) happens to be the twenty-eighth ‘Remembrance Day’ (27 June 1939 – 4 January 1994) of our beloved Pancham Da. It has been twenty-eight years since he left us forever. But the music that he created will remain with us forever as long as HFM is around.

This is the fifth song in this series. I had kept this song up my sleeve for this day after drafting it more than one month back.

The song being posted today is our tribute to ‘Pancham Da’ and his ‘music’ in HFM.

The song is from the movie ‘Aar-Paar’(1985). ‘Aar-Paar'(1985) was directed by Shakti Samanta for his home productions ‘Shakti Films, Bombay’. Shakti Samanta was also the producer of this movie. It was an Indo-Bangladesh Co-Production. And Syed Hasan Imam (of Chitrangan-Dhaka) was the Co-Producer of this movie from Bangladesh.

‘Aar-Paar'(1985) had Mithun Chakravarty, Rosina, Nutan, Asit Sen, Utpal Dutt, Manik Dutt, Tarun Ghose, Ghulam Mustafa, Hasan Imam, A.T.M. Shamsuz Zaman, Ahmed Sharif, Ghulam Rafique, Madhu, Shekhar, Amal Bose, Kali Pada Sen, Bullet, Qutub, Mohammad Ali, Chunnu, Minhaz, Barua, Nurul Islam, Sumita Devi, Shahre Banu, Maya Ghose, Reena, Papiya and others.

Story of this movie was written by Shakti Pada Rajguru. Screenplay of this movie was jointly written by Shakti Samanta and Shanu Bannerjee.

Dialogues of this movie were written by Pradeep Roy Chowdhury. Bijoy Chowdhury was the editor of this movie.

This movie had six songs written by Anand Bakshi and composed by R.D. Burman. kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Shailendra Singh, Sabeena, Yasmin and R.D. Burman had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 19.11.1985.

Let us now listen to today’s song which is played in the background while we can see some policemen taking Mithun Chakravarty with them while some villagers (including friends of Mithun Chakravarty in the movie) are seen watching them.

As mentioned above today’s song is sung by R.D. Burman. lyrics are by Anand Bakshi. Music is composed by R.D. Burman.

(This post also serves of bringing movies with same title on the blog. With this song Aar-Paar(1985) joins the well-known movie ‘Aar Paar-(1954) in the blog.

Hullo Atuldom

“Bond 303” (1985) was produced B.C. Devra and directed by Ravi Tandon. It was one of those movies that was in the making for a long time.

It was one of the three movies that had Jeetendra play a Spy- an Indian James Bond. His James Bond act began with his ‘mast bahaaron ka main aashiq’ in “Farz” (1967) continued with “Raksha” (1981) {in both these movies Jeetendra was Agent 116}. “Bond 303” was the third in that list.

This spy-movie had all the ingredients, a movie of this genre, required viz: a hero who looks handsome, can shake a leg, do action sequences with ease, and a bevy of lovely ladies. The lovely ladies of ‘Bond 303’ were headed Parveen Babi (in a double role), Jayshree T. and Helen. The list of supporting actors had Prem Chopra, Deven Verma, Tom Alter, Iftikhar, Satyen Kappu, Shreeram Lagoo, Dev Kumar, Yusuf Khan (a.k.a Zebisco of Amar Akbar Anthony).

The story was very simple:

There are terrorist attacks all over the world. Planes, trains, houses are blown to smithereens by unknown rockets! The one to call is India’s super agent Bond 303! When we first meet him he’s preoccupied with a dozen ladies and they all burst out in an intensive song-and-dance number! Bond 303 befriends a young smart scientist, played by the cool Parveen Babi and they start to gather information about the evil organization behind it all. But someone wants to stop them and sooner than you can say “curry” they are in gravy, oops they are in danger!

This Indian spy movie had five songs that were written by Gulshan Bawra and composed by R D Burman. Amit Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Suresh Wadkar, R D Burman, were the playback singers used. Today’s song is in the voices of Amit Kumar, Suresh Wadkar and Kalyani Mitra.

(The blog’s statistics page shows a name Kalyani Das Mitra whose 11 songs are there on the blog. I would like some knowledgeable follower to confirm if Kalyani Mitra and Kalyani Das Mitra are one and the same. The title song of ‘Saawan Ko Aane do’, posted on the blog, has Kalyani Mitra listed as playback singer.)
The song is a typical ‘roothna-manana’ song where Jeetendra and Deven Verma are seen trying to appease Parveen Babi and her companion. (I think that is Meenakshi Thakur, but I am not sure. Prakashchandraji, please help) The ladies are of course putting on an act of being upset with the boys.
We are wishing Suresh Wadkar on his 66th birthday. And remembering Gulshan Bawra on his 12th anniversary.
