Only these two songs from this film are posted:

First song post was by me in 2012 and the second one for Helen’s birthday in 2019. Even I am surprised after all these years that the film had 10 songs. It was criticized for being too long also when it released. The length has resulted in some songs being shortened in the movie. The films Editors Kenneth Philips and Bela Segal(sister of Sanjay Leela Bhansali) have done a good job of not cutting through the characters in the movie.

Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part XII

(Actresses whose name begin with the letter L)

In the first eleven episodes of the series, we listed actresses whose names begin with the first eleven letters of the alphabet and who had lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog. Then we went on to cover a song that was lip synced by another acresses whose name began with the same letter and who had not lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog.

The exercise of finding a “new” actress whose name begins with a particular letter is being increasingly difficult. The three “new” actresses who made their debuts in the blog (as far as lip syncing in Asha Bhonsle’s voice is concerned) were Anju Mahendru, Bhanupriya, Chandrakala, Divya Bharati, Ekta,Farheen, Gulnar Irani, Harsha Mehra, Isha Koppikar, Jasmine and Khushboo.

In this episode, we arrive at the letter L. There are eleven actresses whose name begin with L who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog.

However the movie available on internet has its date of censor certificate as 12.09.1997. Otherwise also sources mentioned that this movie was delayed in making by several years and finally when it got released the music composer of this movie RD Burman had already passed away in 1994. This movie is considered as the last movie (released) where the music is composed by RD Burman as per his filmography.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-12

Today’s duet composition by Rahul Dev Burman is from the 1996 movie ‘Ghatak’ or ‘Ghaatak’. This movie was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi who also produced this movie for his home productions ‘Santoshi Productions, Bombay’. It was passed by the Censor Board on 01.11.1996.

In the last post under this series we had a song from the 1993 movie ‘Aaja Meri Jaan’. No movies with R D Burman’s music were released during 1994 and 1995. Though the movie ‘1942 A Love Story’ is mentioned as a movie of 1994, it was actually certified by the Censor Board on 31.12.1993. So it is obvious that it was released in the theatres in 1994. (However as per non-documented but strictly adhered 🙂 to SOP of this blog, we now need to correct the year of ‘1942-A Love Story’ as 1993 on this blog 🙂 ).

The cast of ‘Ghatak-1996’ included Sunny Deo, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Danny Dengzongpa, Tinu Anand, K.K. Raina, Anjan Shrivastava, Amrish Puri, Om Puri, Mamta Kulkarni, Mukesh Rishi, Ila Arun, Viju Khote, Harish Patel, Brij Gopal and others. Music for this movie was composed by R.D Burman and Anu Malik. Since R.D Burman passed away during the making of the film, Anu Malik was roped in to record the remaining one song for this movie. This movie has five songs and total six sound tracks including a ‘theme music’ track composed by R.D Burman. Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the songs for this movie. Playback singers for this movie are Suresh Wadkar, Sadhna Sargam, Alka Yagnik, Shankar Mahadevan, Anu Malik, Kavita Krishnamurthy, and Asha Bhonsle.

Hullo Atuldom

We are on the last weekend for the year 2025. The world has just celebrated Christmas. We will be welcoming 2026 in 4 days. I am sure many educational institutions are closed for Christmas Holidays and (working) parents would have also taken the opportunity to take their wards out for vacations. Here is wishing everyone A Happy Yuletide.

There was a period in the history of Hindi films when three actors viz. DEV ANAND- DILIP KUMAR- RAJ KAPOOR ruled over the film- viewing sensibilities of the Hindi film audiences. There were fans who copied the style of either one or other of these three. Then after a brief period it was Rajesh Khanna who influenced audiences, which was followed by the Amitabh Bachchan wave. Post that we have not seen audiences going crazy about one or other actor, though the entertainment world has had great looking, dancing, emoting, charismatic actors. But none of these could rake up the frenzy as seen in the DEV-DILIP- RAJ period or the KAKA (as Rajesh Khanna was called) or the Big B (as Amitabh Bachchan was called) wave.

#the Decade of Nineties – 1991 – 2000 #
———————————————————————
(Rajesh Khanna’s 82nd Birth Anniversary)
———————————————–

Today 29th December 2024 is the eighty-second birth anniversary of Rajesh Khanna(29.12.2024-18.07.2012). On this occasion, we are paying tribute to Rajesh Khanna by presenting a few songs picturised on him.

In this post I am presenting a song from the movie “Sautela Bhaai-1996”. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 04.01.1996. I was staying at Kota (Rajasthan) in those days and since the project I was working there was in winding up stage I think I must have been more occupied with the work related activities, since I do not remember to have watched this movie. Even in the later years I must have lost track of this movie, because it is only recently that I came across this movie’s songs while going through the filmography of music composer R.D. Burman. The music for this movie “Sautela Bhaai-1996” is composed by him.
