Producer-director-writer, Basu Chatterjee is one of the earliest filmmakers who brought up middle-class related issues on the big screen with films like ‘Saara Aakaash’ (1969), ‘Piya Ka Ghar’ (1971), ‘Rajnigandha’ (1974), ‘Chhoti Si Baat’ (1975), ‘Chitchor’ (1976), ‘Baaton Baaton Mein’ (1979) and many more. He has also made film with other genres of which ‘Kamla Ki Maut’ (1989) was critically acclaimed. But the film failed at the box office. He went back to his favourite genre of middle class family drama with light comedy, and made for Doordarshan a telefilm, ‘Hamaari Shaadi’ (1990). About 3 months back, Doordarshan uploaded the film in digital format on one of the video sharing platforms, with improved audio-visual quality.

To make the film within the shoestring budget, Basu Chatterjee took the actors who had mostly acted in TV serials or the new comers, for the main characters in the film. The cast included Ajit Pal and Indrani Haldar (debut film) in the lead roles supported by Akhil Mishra, Ravi Baswani, Prem Bedi, Anjan Shrivastav, Manohar Singh, Meenaxi Thakur, Suman Dharmadhikari, Pushpa Verma, Suresh Bhagwat, Javed Khan, etc. The film’s story was written by Umesh Kalbag based on a real-life story of a couple in Mumbai. The film was shot on location in Mumbai. To cut the cost, he barely used film sets and instead Instead he made use of the real houses and office premises.

The film is about a young lover-couple in Mumbai who want to get married against the wishes of girl’s parents. They try the options of court marriage and the temple marriage, but the lawyer and the temple priest create complications for them. Finally, they decide to get married in the house of boy’s boss who will do ‘kanyadaan’ ceremony. Before that, the boy must find a shelter to stay in Mumbai after the marriage. He cannot afford to buy even a small flat or pay high rent. An old lady who has lost his only son, agrees to give the lover-couple a room in her house to stay after the marriage. On the day of the marriage, the girl insists with her husband-in-waiting that her parents be informed of the marriage. The climax is whether girl’s parents bless the couple.

The story of the film in detail is as under:

Pradeep (Ajit Pal) stays in a flat as a paying guest in Mumbai. He has no parents. He has recently got a job as a clerk in a company. In a neighbouring building, Jaya (Indrani Haldar) stays in a flat with her parents and is in her final year of post-graduation. Jaya’s father, Diwan Mahendra Singh (Manohar Singh), a former Diwan with a princely state, is a strict disciplinarian in his house. He is looking for a suitable bridegroom for Jaya in commensurate with his status so that after her post-graduation, she can be married off. So far, he has failed to get a suitable boy for her. Jaya does not like her father’s dictatorial tendencies in the house as well as his choosing a bridegroom without her consent.

Pradeep gets acquainted with Jaya, and they become friends. They frequently meet after office/college hours without the knowledge of Jaya’s parents. They love each other but Pradeep is afraid to propose to her due to his fear of Jaya’s father. It is only when her father is trying to fix another boy from Jaipur as her prospective bridegroom, Jaya reveals to Pradeep the problem at her end and suggests that they should get married quickly by eloping. Pradeep happily agrees to her suggestion.

Pareira (Ravi Baswani), Pradeep’s Man Friday in the office, suggests a court marriage which is quick and cost efficient. However, a court marriage lawyer (Anjan Shrivastav) tries to blackmail Pradeep by telling that Jaya’s father will create problems if he informs him about their impending court marriage. Pradeep drops the idea of the court marriage as Jaya opposes succumbing to lawyer’s blackmail. Pareira again comes to Pradeep’s rescue and suggests the temple marriage. However, the temple priest (again Anjan Shrivastav), knowing the background of the marriage, tries to extract money from Pradeep which Jaya refuses to agree. The lover-couple are back to square one.

Pareira once again find a solution for Pradeep in the office itself. He suggests him to consult their Boss, Sharma ji (Prem Bedi) who had got married in a similar circumstances. Sharma ji who was always aware of Pradeep’s love affairs but behaved as if he was not aware, suggests Pradeep to get married in his house with the offer that he and his wife (Pushpa Verma) will do the ‘kanyadaan’ ceremony. But before that Sharma ji advises him to have a house to stay in after the marriage.

Pradeep goes on searching for a flat but the cost of a flat for him is too high and he does not have that kind of money to buy. He also cannot afford the high rent. Pereira once again comes to his help and guides him to meet Mrs. Maria (Suman Dharmadhikari) who is a widow and stays alone in her bungalow in Bandra. He meets her and she offers him her empty garage with old furniture to stay. However, when Pradeep comes with Jaya for inspection, Maria has a change of heart because she sees in Pradeep, her deceased son. She offers her deceased son’s bedroom in her bungalow for staying after the marriage. She also provides Jaya with bride’s dresses. Pareira has paid for Pradeep’s wedding dress. The marriage date is fixed, and Sharma ji has arranged priest to perform the marriage ceremony in his house.

On the marriage day, Jaya leaves her house in the attire suitable for a bride with jewellery given by her mother to attend her college friend’s wedding in the morning. The plan is that Jaya, after attending her friend’s wedding would leave with the same attire to Sharma ji’s house for her own marriage with Pradeep scheduled in the evening. Pradeep reaches Sharma ji’s house and finds Jaya standing there with a sad face. She tells Pradeep that she had seen how her friend’s parents and other close relatives were happy in performing their daughter’s marriage. She says the she will not marry without involving her parents because the marriage is also a happy occasion for her parents and the close relatives, and their participation is essential.

Disgusted with the sudden change in Jaya’s behaviour, Pradeep rushes to Jaya’s house and meets her father, Diwan Mahendra Singh. He reveals in detail their plan of marriage. After some time, Jaya also joins Pradeep. After hearing this, there is tense moments for everyone in the house as to how Diwan Mahendra Singh would respond. Surprisingly. Jaya’s father gives his blessing for the marriage by saying that he has been searching a suitable boy for Jaya for the last two years but not a single proposal clicked. He was worried as to how he would get her married. The marriage is performed in the presence of Jaya’s parents and the newly married couple shift to Maria’s house. The film ends with Maria giving a traditional welcome to the married couple in her house.

After watching the full film in one sitting, I wondered how Basu Chatterjee could manage to make a full-length feature film of about 1 hour and 45 minutes of duration with a story that can be written in 10 lines. This is made possible mainly due to an excellent screenplay and subtle humour-filled dialogues written by Basu Chatterjee. There is not a single dull moment in the film. The performances of Ajit Pal and Indrani Haldar are excellent. Ravi Baswani’s performance adds to the light comical situations in the film.

‘Hamaari Shaadi’ (1990) had two songs written by Yogesh and set to music by the father-son duo of Salil Chowdhury-Sanjoy Chowdhury. No audio recording of the songs were released. I am presenting the first song, a title song, ‘aisa bhi hota hai do premi kabhi’ to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Kumar Shanu and it is picturised as a background song when two lovers, Ajit Pal and Indrani Haldar decide to meet after office hours. Both of them reach their meeting destination (which I presume is opposite Churchgate railway station). Thereafter, both of them walk, towards Marine Drive keeping the distance so that they appear like strangers to their acquaintances if they see them.

Song-Aisa bhi hota hai do premi kabhi (Hamaari Shaadi)(1990) Singer-Kumar Sanu, Lyrics-Yogesh, MD-Salil Chaudhari

Lyrics

aisa bhi hota hai do premi kabhi
milte hain jaise milen do ajnabi
anjaan se raahon pe chalte hain ye
aisa bhi hota hai do premi kabhi
milte hain jaise milen do ajnabi
anjaan se raahon pe chalte hain ye
chhupke duniya se
pyaar karte hain
koi dekh na le
haan dil mein darte hain
aisa bhi hota hai do premi kabhi
milte hain jaise milen do ajnabi
anjaan se raahon pe chalte hain ye

pyaar ke rang mein
mann ye jab doob jaaye ae
phir ye bandhan kabhi
koi na tod paaye
ye lagan hai jo
ye agan hai jo
jo bujhe na bujhaaye
ye lagan hai jo
ye agan hai jo
jo bujhe na bujhaaye
chhupke duniya se
pyaar karte hain
koi dekh na le
haan dil mein darte hain
aisa bhi hota hai do premi kabhi
milte hain jaise milen do ajnabi
anjaan se raahon pe chalte hain ye ae

jab milan ki ghadi
paas aane lagi hai ae
madhbari saans ye
geet gaane lagi hai
zindagi kitne
pyaar ke sapne
phir sajaane lagi hai
zindagi kitne
pyaar ke sapne
phir sajaane lagi hai
chhupke duniya se
pyaar karte hain
koi dekh na le
haan dil mein darte hain
aisa bhi hota hai do premi kabhi
milte hain jaise milen do ajnabi
anjaan se raahon pe chalte hain ye ae
chhupke duniya se
pyaar karte hain
koi dekh na le
dil mein darte hain

Tribute to Lata Mangeshkar – 2

Yaraa seeli seeli
birha ki raat ka jalnaa
dholaa seeli seeli
yeh bhi koyi jeenaa hai
yeh bhi koyi marnaa

O how slow is the night(lamp)
Burning to ambers, Oh love
Oh love, the slow burn
of the lonely lamp.
is this way of the living?
Or it is the way of the dead.

tooti hui choodiyon se
jodoon yeh kalaayi main ae
pichhli gali mein jaane
kya chhod aayi main
beetee huyi galiyon se ae
phir se guzarna yaraa

broken are they,
the bangles I try to adorn.
(They were whole once-my loved ones)
In the lane behind me,
What have I left behind.
(something in the previous life)
Those same lanes, call me,
I must pass by them again, love.

pairon mein na saaya koyi
sar pe na saayin re
mere saathh jaaye naa
meri parchhaayi re
baahar ujaalaa hai
andar veeraana

No one beside me, no shade (for feet).
No Lord(benevolent),
even to care for me.
No one goes with me,
not even my shadow.
All brightness is on the outside.
Inside it is all dark and desolate, my love.

In 1990, I was fascinated with this song. Not seen the song anywhere, only heard it on the radio. I don’t remember what else I knew about it, only that Dimple Kapadia was the actress, singing this on screen. I was working in a private firm’s office in Santacruz. There was this girl working there called ‘Heather’, who was looking to change jobs. She asked me to accompany her for interview somewhere at Bandra. In my turn, I also persuaded her to come with me to watch this movie at Liberty Cinema. After the interview, we reached the city and were late for the movie. It had already started, and ‘Heather tried to change my mind, about wasting the ticket money. But having gone so far, I was not in the mood to go back home without watching the movie. It was 3 to 3:30, almost 1 hour of the movie was over. We got the tickets and went inside the hall. In that red carpeted hall, it was as if we were alone in there. Soon interval came, and to our astonishment, there was no one to be seen. Heather said it is not safe to sit in there for us 2 girls and we should just get out. Finally, some I came to my senses we left the cinema.

That incident in 1991, and my ‘khwaahish’ to see this movie remained unfulfilled. Until a few years ago, when I again remembered this film and saw it on YouTube. Ah! What would we have done without YouTube. All the while I was listening to this song, and may have seen it somewhere on TV. Or found it on YouTube.

The awards list of this song is also impressive.
• 1991 – Filmfare Awards – Best Lyricist – Gulzar
• 1990 – National Film Awards – Best Female Playback Singer – Lata Mangeshkar
• 1990 – National Film Awards – Best Lyrics – Gulzar
Trivia:
This song was based on the Punjabi song “Ve Main Chori Chori” composed and sung by the Pakistani folk artist Reshma.
The folk flavour of this song, and the fresh analogies that Gulzar has made in lyrics of this song, made it very special. The super rendition by Lata Mangeshkar has also won her the National Award, yet again.

The following 3 songs are posted in the blog.

Song Date of posting
Main ek sadi se baithhi hoon 6 February 2022
Suniye jee araj mhaaro 26 October 2012
Surmayee shaam is tarah aaye (Lekin) 18 august 2022

This song is a significant one as the film music scene was just picking up, sufiana and Punjabi folk was gaining momentum. Here again, the relevance of Lata Mangeshkar, as a grand doyen of female playback singers, was established. She was singing for R. D. Burman, Laxminkant Pyarelal, of the old brigade and also for new breed of musician through the 90’s.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties (1981-1990) -10 (1990)

Today 4th January’2023 is the twenty-ninth ‘Remembrance Anniversary’ of the great music-director Rahul Dev Burman whom we fondly know by his nickname ‘Pancham’.

Rahul Dev Burman was born on 27th June’1939 and he passed away on 4th January’1994 at the age of only 54.

As a tribute to him on the blog, today we will enjoy a song composed by him from the movie of the decade 1981-1990. Under this special series where we have been visiting Pancham’s music year wise from 1981 to 1990 today we will look at the movies of the year 1990.

Before that let us have a look at the Pancham’s filmography as a music director for the decade of 1981-1990.

Sr.No. Year No. of movies with music by Pancham
1 1981 20
2 1982 15
3 1983 19
4 1984 17
5 1985 18
6 1986 7
7 1987 9
8 1988 6
9 1989 6
10 1990 3
Total movies 120

From the above we can see that Pancham’s career was already on decline since 1986 – number of movie wise – and his health was also not good. He suffered a heart attack in 1988.

In the year 1990 there were only three movies where Pancham composed music.
Here is the list of these movies.

(Note – I have tried to compile the above table with as much accuracy as possible based on the information available in HFGK Vol-VI (1981-1985) and Hindi Filmography (1986-2000). I would request readers to suggest additions/ corrections if anything is missing. I would also like to apologise if there is any mistake on my part while compiling this table. We will be further adding the filmography of Pancham for the decade 1971-1980 and earlier than that, and also movies further after 1990 to have a complete filmography of Pancham in the future on the blog.).

Till then let us enjoy today’s song composed by Pancham…

Let us pay our tributes to Pancham and thank him for all the great music which he left behind us to enjoy.

Hullo Atuldom

“Awaargi” (1990) was directed by Mahesh Bhatt, story-screenplay-dialogues were written by Suraj Sanim, and produced by P. Raghunath (who happened to be Hema Malini’s uncle). The movie opens with a message ‘Thanking Hema Malini’. Anu Malik was the music composer with Anand Bakshi writing most of its songs. Playback singers used were Asha Bhonsle, Mohd. Aziz, Lata Mangeshkar, Anuradha Paudwal; the Ghazal Maestro Ghulam Ali sang the melodious “Chamkate Chaand Ko Toota Hua Taara Banaa Dalaa” which was was written by Asad Bhopali. (Recently I saw this, sung by a youngster, on satellite TV, and I was hooked on to it and the songs of the movie itself).

Meenakshi Sheshadri-Anil Kapoor-Govinda formed the main lead and Anupam Kher headed the supporting cast of Satish Kaushik, Paresh Rawal, Avtar Gill, Mahesh Anand, Deepak Qazir, Ghanshyam etc. This was a movie that was long in the making and finally released 4 years after it was announced. This was one of the two movies that had Anil Kapoor & Govinda in the lead; the other being “Deewaana Mastaana”; both were love triangles but completely different from each other.
“Awaargi” was the story of Azaad (Anil Kapoor) rescuing a girl – Meena (Meenakshi)- from a brothel and how he helps her attain her dream of becoming a singer. For this he introduces her to a hotel owner (Deepak Qazir). Here she is spotted by a stage singer -Dhiren (Govinda)- who offers her a place in his troop and thus begins her journey to reach her dreams. Then, of course, there is the usual of Azaad falling in love with her and not being able to express it when he feels that Meena is in love with Dhiren. In between the confusion among the lovers there is also the ‘tadka’ of some gang lords – Paresh Rawal & Anupam Kher- wanting Meena back in the brothel.

I have seen this movie a decade back and don’t recall how it ends; but I am sure one of the guys would have given up his love for the lady; or (just maybe) the lady would have decided who she wanted in her life. This was a movie where Govinda and Anil Kapoor played serious characters with Anil Kapoor’s Azaad being the ‘Tapori’ that he was adept at playing back then.

Today we are having the song with which Meena makes her stage debut with Dhirens’ help. It is in the voices of Lata Mangeshkar and Mohd Aziz. It shows the two dancers in tandem to movements set by Saroj Khan.

With this post we are wishing the actor/dancer/singer/comedian Govinda who also tried his hand at being a Parliamentarian for a term as an elected member of the Lower House (Lok Sabha). He has taken a step closer to being 60.

Today 18th August 2022 is the eighty-eighth birthday of Poet, Lyricst, Writer, Director, etc. Shri Sampooran Singh Kalra whom we know by his pen name ‘Gulzar’ (born on 18.08.1934).

Gulzar Saab has come a long way in the film industry starting from ‘Shriman Satyawadi’ (1960) and ‘Kabuliwaala’ (1961) to the recently released (on OTT) ‘Darlings-2022’ (where he wrote lyrics for a song).

Much has been written about him and most of us are well aware of his ‘cinematic excellence’ and his unique ‘poetry’ where he uses the ‘similes’ in his unique ways in his poetry and lyrics in Hindi Film Music.

There have been numerous posts on the blog about Gulzar Saab and there will be many coming in future. So, today, I am not going into the details of his movies and lyrics list which I like most or which have left an indelible mark on my mind. But I would like to mention here that while Gulzar Saab have done so much in all areas of writing, cinema, and poetry I have yet to read many of his works other than movies. However, in the case of movies I can say that I have watched many of the movies directed by him. And l loved them all.

One more thing which I am very fond of Gulzar Saab is his writings for children or his lyrics for the movies for children and the non-filmi albums of his for children (like ‘Karadi Tales etc). I would also like to mention his commentary in two audio albums one for film music i.e., ‘Fursat Ke Raat Din’ and one for Bhupen Hazarika’s song ‘Main Aur Mera Saaya’ which I like very much. Finally, I would like to mention his song for tele serial ‘Mirza Ghalib’ which is also one of my most favorite albums.

There are many things which one can write about him and his works in cinema and other than ‘cinema’. However, today we leave this for another day and straightway come to today’s song to celebrate Gulzar Saab’s birthday on the blog. (This song is lying with us since almost a decade now 😊).

This song is from the 1990 movie ‘Lekin’.

‘Lekin’ was directed by Gulzar for Dinanath Kala Mandir. Hridaynath Mangeshkar and Bal Phoole were the producers of this movie. It was presented by Lata Mangeshkar. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 29.08.1990.

It had Vinod Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Amjad Khan, Alok Nath, Moon Moon Sen, Vijayendra Ghatge, Beena, Manohar Singh, Ram Mohan, Ajit Vachhani, Sunil Advani, Shabir Abbas, Masood Akhtar, Yash Sharma, GP Singh, Bashir Khan, Mohafiz Haider, S Madan, Harmeet Singh, Umesh Vyas, Mansi Upadhyay, Sapna Awasthy, Rashmi, Ahmed Siddiqui, and Baby Shabana Khan. Hema Malini made a guest appearance in this movie.

The story of this movie was written by Gulzar, who also wrote the screenplay, dialogues, and lyrics for this movie. Editing of this movie was done by Sadanand Shetty, Ravi, and Aadinath Mangeshkar.

This movie has eight soundtracks as mentioned on the blurb of the audio cassette of this movie. Music is composed by Hridaynath Mangeshkar. I like all songs of this movie very much and this is one of my most favorite albums. Today’s song is sung by Suresh Wadkar and on screen it is lip-synced by Vinod Khanna.

This movie is an interesting movie to watch, so nothing more about the movie here 😊

Let us listen to today’s song and enjoy Gulzar Saab’s poetry …

We wish Gulzar Saab a very happy birthday today and a happy, healthy and peaceful life ahead …

Over to the song now …

Lyrics

surmayee shaam is tarah aaye ae ae ae
surmayee shaam is tarah aaye
saans lete hain jis tarah saaye ae
surmayee shaam is tarah aaye
saans lete hain jis tarah saaye ae
surmayee shaam

koi aahat nahin badan ki kahin
phir bhi lagta hai tu yahin hai kahin
koi aahat nahin badan ki kahin
phir bhi lagta hai tu yahin hai kahin
waqt jaata sunaayee deta hai
tera saaya dikhayee deta hai ae
jaise khushboo nazar se chhoo jaaye
jaise khushboo nazar se chhoo jaaye
saans lete hain jis tarah saaye
surmayee shaam

din ka jo bhi pahar guzarta hai
koi ehsaan sa utarta hai
din ka jo bhi pahar guzarta hai
koi ehsaan sa utarta hai
waqt ke paaon dekhta hoon main
roz yeh chhaaon dekhta hoon main
aaaye jaise koi khayaal aaye
aaye jaise koi khayaal aaye
saans lete hain jis tarah saaye ae
surmayee shaam is tarah aaye
saans lete hain jis tarah saaye
surmayee shaam

सुरमई शाम इस तरह आए
सुरमई शाम इस तरह आए
सांस लेते हैं जिस तरह साये
सुरमई शाम इस तरह आए
सांस लेते हैं जिस तरह साये

कोई आहट नहीं बदन की कहीं
फिर भी लगता है तू यहीं है कहीं’
कोई आहट नहीं बदन की कहीं
फिर भी लगता है तू यहीं है कहीं’
वक़्त जाता सुनाई देता है
तेरा साया दिखाई देता है
जैसे खुशबू नज़र से छू जाये
सांस लेते हैं जिस तरह साये
सुरमई शाम

दिन का जो भी पहर गुज़रता है
कोई एहसान सा उतरता है
दिन का जो भी पहर गुज़रता है
कोई एहसान सा उतरता है
वक़्त के पाँव देखता हूँ मैं
रोज़ ये छांव देखता हूँ मैं
आए जैसे कोई खयाल आए
आए जैसे कोई खयाल आए
सांस लेते हैं जिस तरह साये
सुरमई शाम इस तरह आए
सांस लेते हैं जिस तरह साये
सुरमई शाम

Lata Mangeshkar – 1929-2022

A lifetime of music passed by, and then today morning, that voice of the century descended into the forever sleep, from where no one returns. The fears have been there for almost a month – the time she spent in the hospital. And there were prayers also – prayers by millions – millions who have loved and revered this voice that has been singing for the past almost seventy five years. This voice will not be heard again.

And yet, this voice will continue to ring till there is time, and there are lovers of music. Her legacy and her memories will keep alive. Thousands of songs that have been sung by her and recorded – these songs will continue to please the ears till there music lives. The voice will live forever.

नाम गुम जाएगा
चेहरा ये बादल जाएगा
मेरी आवाज़ ही पहचान है. . .

Goodbye Didi. . . it has been a terrific inning – 1929 – 2022.

================================================

Recently when I updated my list of pending songs shared earlier, I noted that the top two songs are from the movie ‘Lekin’ (1990). Both the songs were shared long back in 2012. Since these were pending since long, I thought I should try to add a write-up to them and send for posting. I like all the songs from this movie very much, and I must have listened to them innumerable times.

I was staying at Kota (Rajasthan) then when the music for this film was released. I had bought the cassette for this film on 12.01.1991. (The film was dedicated to the ‘girl child’). Music was released by HMV in September’1990. That is now almost thirty-one years back now. Hushh…!! how time flies? … 😊 to me its only like few months back. Only thing is now I didn’t get to listen these songs regularly because the cassette-recorder-player has gone out of order and cannot be repaired now. (Maybe I need to buy a new one. Otherwise, I am afraid that the cassettes will also deteriorate).

I like the songs of this movie very very much, but I did never get to watch this movie. When I checked on internet the movie was already available, so I decided to watch it, and had watched it few weeks back. Sadly, the film available seems to be a re-recorded one and not an original print. Also, this version has the songs deleted from it. And that means all songs are deleted from this version. Though videos of the songs are available separately. But their absence from the movie takes out all the joy of enjoying the movie. But nevertheless, one can enjoy this movie for the mystery it contains.

I liked this movie very much. It has all the ingredients that I love to watch – the palaces of Rajasthan, the ruins, the sand-dunes, train journey, the inside view of the special coaches of the train (in this case it the first class coach, I think), library, books, mystery wrapped in time, wandering soul (we can see that 😊 in the movie), and above all the captivating and mesmerizing music – classical as well as folk of Rajasthan – the thrill of those ‘Ragas’ -the poetry in the songs – the divine singing voice – all these takes one to a different planet. I would not like to spoil the interest of those who intend to watch this movie, so I will not write much about the movie in details.

This movie is said to be inspired from one the famous Rabindranath Tagore story ‘Kshudhit Paashaan’ (Angry Stones).
[Auth. Note: I do have this story book in my library and this I realized when I read about this movie based on this story and then I remember, yes, I think I have this book. Then I look for it in the shelves and it was there. No mystery in this 😊 my younger daughter always pushes me to read the books that I have collected and not to add newer ones unless I read the older ones all 😊.]

Coming back to the today’s movie now. ‘Lekin’ was directed by Gulzar for Dinanath Kala Mandir. Hridaynath Mangeshkar and Bal Phoole were the producers of this movie. It was presented by Lata Mangeshkar. The star cast includes Vinod Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Amjad Khan, Alok Nath, Moon Moon Sen, Vijayendra Ghatge, Beena, Manohar Singh, Ram Mohan, Ajit Vachhani, Sunil Advani, Shabir Abbas, Masood Akhtar, Yash Sharma, GP Singh, Bashir Khan, Mohafiz Haider, S Madan, Harmeet Singh, Umesh Vyas, Mansi Upadhyay, Sapna Awasthy, Rashmi, Ahmed Siddiqui, and Baby Shabana Khan. Hema Malini made a guest appearance in this movie. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 29.08.1990.

Story of this movie is written by Gulzar. Gulzar also wrote the screenplay, dialogues, and lyrics for this movie. Editing of this movie was done by Sadanand Shetty, Ravi and Aadinath Mangeshkar.

This movie had eight soundtracks as mentioned on the blurb of the cassette and the details are given below.

07 Main Ek Sadee Se Lata Mangeshkar
08 Jaa Jaa Re Lata Mangeshkar, Hridaynath

Coming back to the today’s song it is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and on screen lip-synced by Dimple Kapadia. This song is beautifully picturized in the ruins and deserts of Rajasthan. I am sure listening to this song will give one a lot of pleasure and will take one far away in the ‘desert’. I stayed at Kota for almost eight years, but never visited the ‘desert-triangle’. I wish I will visit them soon. Though during my stay, I visited palaces and forts at Jaipur, Udaipur, Chittorgarh, Bundi and at Kota. Whenever I visit there, I used to jokingly say my friends that in my previous birth I was a King and ruled there 😊 …

As mentioned above only one song from this movie has been posted on the blog on 26.10.2012 just few months more and this movie will complete a decade on the blog. Let us now listen to the today’s song.

Main ek sadi se baithhi hoon

main ek sadi se baithhi hoon
main ek sadi se baithhi hoon
is raah se koi guzra nahin
kuchh chaand ke rathh to guzre thhe
kuchh chaand ke rathh to guzre thhe
par chaand se koi utara nahin
main ek sadi se baithhi hoon
main ek sadi se baithhi hoon

din raat ke donon pahiye bhi
kuchh dhool udaa kar beet gaye
beet gaye
din raat ke donon pahiye bhi
kuchh dhool udaa kar beet gaye
main man aangan mein baithhi rahi
main man aangan mein baithhi rahi
choukhat se koi guzraa nahin
main ek sadi se baithhi hoon
main ek sadi se baithhi hoon

aakash bada boodhaa baba
sab ko kuchh baant ke jaata hai
jaata hai
aakash bada boodhaa baba
sab ko kuchh baant ke jaata hai
aankhon ko nichoda maine bahut
aankhon ko nichoda maine bahut
par koi aansoo utra nahin

इस राह से कोई गुज़रा नहीं
कुछ चाँद के रथ तो गुजरे थे
कुछ चाँद के रथ तो गुजरे थे

मैं एक सदी से बैठी हूँ

दिन रात के दोनों पहिये भी
कुछ धूल उड़ा कर बीत गए

मैं मन आँगन में बैठी रही
चौखट से कोई गुज़रा नहीं
मैं एक सदी से बैठी हूँ
मैं एक सदी से बैठी हूँ

आकाश बड़ा बूढ़ा बाबा
सब कुछ बाँट के जाता है

आकाश बड़ा बूढ़ा बाबा
सब कुछ बाँट के जाता है
आँखों को निचोड़ा मैंने बहुत
आँखों को निचोड़ा मैंने बहुत
पर कोई आँसू उतरा नहीं
मैं एक सदी से बैठी हूँ
मैं एक सदी से बैठी हूँ

Most Indians today know that Tiger is the national animal of India. But that was not the case when India became independent. Asiatic Lion (found in Geer forest in Gujarat), was declared as India’s national animal in 1948 by PM Jawaharlal Nehru in 1948, mainly because of lobbying by Gujrat Natural History Society.

But the number of lions was very small, whereas Tigers were found in as many as 16 states of India. On 18 november 1972, exactly 49 years ago, Royal Bengal Tiger was chosen as India’s national animal.

It is to be kept in mind that tigers found all over India are of the same species viz Royal Bengal tiger (Tigris panthera). If someone thinks that Royal Bengal Tigers are only found in Bengal and Bangladesh, and tigers in other parts of India are of different species , then that is not the case. The name Royal Bengal Tiger itself is a misnomer. Some British Official had first seen this animal in an area now falling in Central India – present day MP, Chhatisgarh, Maharashtra region- in other words in Mowgli country of Rudyard Kipling) and named it as Royal Bengal Tiger, because that region then fell under Bengal Presidency. It is to be noted that Bengal Presidency covered a vast region of India those days. It covered entire North East India, Present Bangladesh, Bangal, Bihar , Jharkhand, Orissa, Eastern UP, MP, Chhatisgarh, etc. Like the case then, even today most population of Royal Bengal tigers is found in the same Mowgli land.

Both Lions and tigers were facing extinction during 1970s. There were only 1827 tigers left in India in 1972. To save tigers from extinction, a tiger conservation programme called Project Tiger was started in April 1973 by Government of India. 27 tiger sanctuaries were created under this project. Today, the number of tigers in India is estimated to be around 2500-3500.

Today Bengal has a tiger population of under 100. Same is the case for Bangladesh. In contrast, MP, and Karnataka have over 500 tigers each while Uttarakhand has 400 plus and Maharashtra 300 plus. Tamilnadu has 200 plus. Kerala, UP, Assam have 100 plus tigers each. Overall, as many as nine different Indian states have more Royal Bengal Tigers than are found in Sundarban area of Bengal and Bangladesh. So personally I would like to describe this animal as Royal Indian Tiger that enjoys a pan Indian presence.

The population of these tigers have reduced in Bangladesh and Bengal (sundarban area), whereas their population has increased in other parts of India. So, I can only laugh when Bangladesh stakes claims on this animal. Like India, they too have Royal Bengal Tiger as their national animal. On another note, lions are used as their their national symbols by England as well as Sri Lanka, though none of these countries today have any lions left in their jungles.

To mark today’s date as the date when Tiger’s became the national animal of India, I was looking for a song where Tiger finds a mention, even if symbolically. I think I have found a rocking and rollicking song for the occasion. This song is from “Appu Raja”(1990), which was a dubbed version of the Original Tamil movie Apoorva Sagodharargal (1989).

This movie (both original as well as Hindi dubbed version) were produced by Kamal Haasan and directed by Singeetam Srinivasa Rao for Raaj Kamal Films International, Madras. The film had Kamal Haasan, Jaishankar, Nagesh, Gautami, Rupini, Manorama, Srividya, Janagaraj, Moulee, Delhi Ganesh, Nassar etc in it.

The movie was dubbed but songs in Hindi version were specially recorded, duly translating the Tamil lyrics into Hindi.

Here is the first song from “Appu Raja”(1990) to appear in the blog. This fantastic danc song is sung by S P Balasubrahmaniam and chorus. Prem Dhawan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ilayaraja. The picturisation shows wonderful dance performance by Kamal Hasan, Manorama (playin Kamal Hasan’s mother) and others.

On the occasion of adoption of Tiger as Indian national animal, here is a wondful dance song. I am told that this song has become a must play song at birthday parties in Maharashtra. This song is a fit song to dance, no doubt about that.

With this song, “Appu Raja”(1990) makes its debut in the blog.

Hullo Atuldom

The song with this post is heavily inspired by this song. This 1973 song which was sung by Kishore Kumar had Dharmendra trying to pacify his upset love Rekha. He resorted to all kinds of buffoonery to get a smile on her face and also get her to admit her love for him

In today’s song Kishore Kumar’s son Amit Kumar is the voice for Dharmendra’s son Sunny Deol. Sunny is running behind a ‘roothhi’ Meenakshi Seshadri and trying to get her to re-admit her love. So, the situation is like this. Just before this song, Sunny -who is a boxer for his college- has been reprimanded by his coach (Viju Khote) for day-dreaming about Meenakshi. Consequently, he refuses to acknowledge when she comes to meet him at his coaching camp. Later, when Sunny goes to meet her at a cafe, she pays him back in the same coin and also gathers public support citing that he is eve-teasing her. Now, it is the duty of our naayak to ‘manao’ a ‘roothhi’ naayikaa.

Hence this song which is written by Anjaan and composed by Bappi Lahiri. As I have said in the previous paragraph the male voice is Amit Kumar’s and S. Janaki sings for Meenakshi Seshadri. This marks the debut of “Ghayal” (as written in the titles of the movie). This 1990 movie starred Raj Babbar and Moushumi Chatterjee as Sunny’s bhaiyya and bhabhi. Amrish Puri played Balwant Rai (the villain) with Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Om Puri, Ashalata, Shafi Inamdar, Annu Kapoor etc in supporting roles. There were a few actors like Shabbir Khan, Sudesh Berry and Mitwa who played Sunny’s support in his mission to expose the wrong-doings of the big-time businessman Balwant Rai. Disco Shanti had a dance number too.

I am writing this post to wish the ‘dhai kilo ke haath’ wala, hand-pump ookhadnewala (uprooting a hand-pump), strong dialogue delivery wala, son of Dharmendra and Prakash Kaur- Ajay Singh Deol a.k.a Sunny Deol- on his birthday today. . It is apparent from his recent movies that he is a huge fan of his father. He has acted in three editions of a movie whose title was inspired by a famous song of his father from the ’70s- the Yamla Pagla Deewana series. He also chose another of his father’s song from the ’70s to use as a title for a movie that he directed to launch his son Karan in Bollywood- Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas. Additionally he has acted with his father in ‘Sultanat’, ‘Apne’ and a few more.
Happy birthday Sunny Deol.

Rafi Sahab’s Legendary Associations – 6
———————————–————––—

Remembering Mohammed Rafi Sahab on his 41st remembrance day :

Writing a post of a song by Mohammed Rafi Sahab is almost a second nature thing for me. I have not counted but nearly 50 % on my post must be of his songs, the exalted one, who was especially blessed by the Almighty with a life, spend smiling and spreading smiles as far as I know. Some people do want to remember him by the sad songs which he sang with equal spirit, giving them his all, that the song, situation and composition demanded, the same as he did for other songs. I found this photo, and see who has the widest smile of them all: <a href=”https://in.pinterest.com/pin/46724914867514223/&#8221; this and this this .

There are platitudes and eulogies and tributes paid in honour of celebrities, when they pass away, nowadays it is usually on social media. And then there is the sea of humanity, that erupted on a rainy friday of Ramadhan 1980 on the streets of Bandra and Juhu. It was 1980, not the time when the dwellers of this city could afford a new umbrella every monsoon. So it was black umbrellas galore on the tv screen, and many people who were without umbrella, having come out to brave the weather or travelled overnight from other parts of the country. They all had one aim, to accompany their beloved Rafi Sahab to the final destination. To walk two steps alongwith the ‘janaza’ of a ‘nek banda’, with the prayers for the departed soul’s maghfirah on every lip and in the heart.

I realized the real pain of losing someone close and dear 9 years ago, when my elder sister expired. A few days after that, my father said that he didn’t know what to ask from the Almighty in du’aa, as most of my du’aa was for her health and long life. In my turn I told him that though we all are grieving and crying on her passing away, but the tears and sadness is all for us actually. The thought of living on without that dear one, makes us feel lonely and bereft.

A year before she died, I had visited her in Bangalore. She was over the top to have me visit her, and we went to a lot of places. One day we both were going somewhere and we passed a ‘qabrastaan’ where her mother-in-law was buried. She said a prayer and told me we should always recite the prayer whenever we pass a qabrastan. The prayer roughly translates as “today you are resting here, we shall follow you tomorrow, for sure”.

Some similar thoughts on passing away of Rafi sahab are expressed in this song written by Anand Bakshi. This is a unique song in the film ‘Kroadh’ where Amitabh Bachchan is called on stage to pay tribute of Rafi Sahab on his 9th death anniversary programme. Amitabh Bachchan says a few sentences and starts singing the song:

na fankaar tujhsa tere baad aaya…
Mohammed Rafi tu bahot yaad aayaa….

The singer here is Mohammed Aziz who himself has passed away a few months ago. He has sung this song in memory of his idol very feelingly and there are tears in the eyes of Amitabh as he sings on stage and also the audience who are watching it. The scenes of ‘janaaza’ that Amitabh Bachchan is seen as recalling, were truly witnessed by him as well as Anand Bakshi and Laxmikant Pyarelal(possibly). I am sure about Amitabh Bachchan having witnessed it funeral as I have seen a photographs of him with Amjad Khan, Vinod Khanna and Rajesh Khanna. Here is the article where he Amitabh remembers the same.
This article has some rare photos of the fateful day.

The song is so appropriate for this occasion, that I am neglecting to post a song by Rafi Sahab himself. But this song expresses the feelings of Mohammed Aziz, Anand Bakshi and Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Anand Bakshi, as the record holder for having written highest no. of film songs must be the lyricist with the highest no. of songs written for Rafi Sahab too. Laxmikant-Pyarelal are also having similar record with Rafi Sahab. Right from ‘Dosti’ and ‘Parasmani’, they were the one’s who justified the ‘Dosti’ and stood with Rafi Sahab through his thick and thin.

These artists composed and performed the song 9 years after Rafi Sahab’s passing away, and gave words and expression to the feelings of millions of his fans throughout the world.

teraa naam koyi nahi bhool paaya
Mohammed Rafi tu bahot yaad aayaa

Hullo Atuldom

Over the last few days we have had some very wordy posts- wordy in terms of the write up and also length of the song/s. None of these posts were boring, they were educative and informative.

Nahmji’s post was a lesson on Ramadan, Hajj, Umrah, and the pilgrimages to Makka and Madinah and also the protocols being followed in these times of the Pandemic.

This post of Atulji spoke of “Covid 19: Virus and treatment Simplified” as our Avinashji has said in the comments to the post.

In between the two posts we had one by our in-house encyclopedia on his disciplined habits of making handwritten notes about the movies he had seen. In the post he has written a point to which even I subscribe to “Depending on the age of the person, the period of ‘old films’ differs. For an young man of, say 20-25 years old films may mean films which came in the 80’s and 90’s. For people of 30-40 years, films of the 6o’s and 70’s are old films. For people of 45-60 years of age, old films are from the 50’s. Only people in the age bracket of 65 to say 80/85, it is films of the 30’s and 40’s which are old films!”

In addition I was going to mention that the meaning of entertainment and content of the films made in each era reflects the current social scene, problems, and aspirations of the younger generation. This too Guruji has spoken about in this post yesterday.

I have always seen movies with the intention of getting entertained and I love it when there is no logic in what is shown on the Silver-Screen. That is why I like the “RH ka group” and “two jyothis emanating from the eyes of an idol and giving vision to a blind lady” scenes. Similarly I like it when the doctors on-screen say “isko dawa ki nahin dua ki zaroorat hai”. I am sure the medical fraternity must be squirming in their seats when they see the doctors mouthing these words. Same goes for the Police, they are always shown to arrive late at scenes of crime unless the lead actors are playing the cop. But we will focus on the cops of Indian movies in a different post.

The song with this post sees the heroine playing a doctor. She is the resident Doctor who does her rounds, checks on all the patients and smiles lovingly at each one of them (and that should be enough to cure half her patients as her smile is high-voltage). One of her patients has lost his memory in some accident (regular feature in all Indian Movies) and Dr. Sushma (Madhuri Dixit) not only takes care of him but also falls in love with Krishna (name given to the character played by Aditya Pancholi by the hospital) and marries him. Later, the doctor’s friendly Inspector Ranjit Kapoor (Suresh Oberoi) warns her that her husband was set to kill her before the accident and her life may be in danger if he regains his memory. Krishna regains his memory when he has another accident (again normal for Indian Movies) and he again tries to kill the Doctor accusing her of being the cause of his sister’s death. Then the movie follows the usual path of clearing misunderstandings and All Is Well in the end.

This was the plot of “Sailaab” which released 31 years ago in August of 1990. It was a remake of a 1988 Tamil movie which I have seen in the open-air auditorium of the colony where I had lived in the initial years of my married life. “Sailaab” was produced by Surendra Jain and directed by Deepak Balraj Vij. Bappi Lahiri was the music composer of songs written by Javed Akhtar and Anjaan. The playback singers used were Anupama Deshpanse, Amit Kumar, Kavitha Krishnamurthy, Sudesh Bhonsle, Asha Bhonsle, and someone called Mangal Singh. The cast comprised of Madhuri Dixit, Aditya Pancholi, Suresh Oberoi, supported by Anand Balraj, Shafi Inamdar, Om Shivpuri, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, C S Dubey, Sahila Chadda, Jamuna, Shammi, T.P. Jain etc. I have seen climax of “Sailaab” and must say that it was edge-of-seat experience. The most popular song of this movie won Saroj Khan a Filmfare award for best choreography.

We are having this song to wish Madhuri on her birthday. I don’t think this popular actress of over 70 films needs any introduction. Neither do I need to say that she is a recipient of 6 Filmfare awards and also been awarded the PadmaShri by the government of India in 2008. She made her debut in a Rajshree Productions movie in 1984 and was repeated by the production house in “Hum Aapke Hain Kaun”(1994) a movie that ran to packed houses for 200 days. She has co-starred all the actors (male and female) of the ’80s and ’90s. Then she got married and settled into domestic bliss for a few years and returned with Yashraj films “Aaja Nachle” in 2007. Since then we see her intermittently on-screen and being appreciated for the wide range of characters that she is playing. We also see her on television judging Dance Reality shows.

On to today’s song which is sung by Amit Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. It is written by Javed Akhtar. Going by the available video it looks like the song plays in parts and these have been uploaded as one whole. This song is almost similar to “tumse milke aisa laga tumse milke” from “Parinda”.
