Hullo Atuldom

Dharamdev Anand, better known as Dev Anand, gave us a few songs that may have become life-mantra for many of his fans as well as followers of Hindi film music.

‘har fikr ko dhuyen mein udaata chala gaya’ , ‘hans tu hardam khushiyan ya gham’ are examples of life-mantra songs that are my personal favourites.

‘hai apna dil toh awaara na jaane kispe aayega’ would have been the song on the lips of many youngsters along with ‘pal bhar ke liye koi humein pyar karle’.

I would add songs like ‘phoolon ka taaron ka sabka kehna hai’, ‘choodi nahi mera dil hai’, ‘dheere se jaana khatiyan mein re khatmal’, ‘ruk jaana o jaana humse do baatein karte chali jaana’, etc. to any of the personal playlists that I may have written about in many of my previous posts on occasions like Devsaab’s birth or death anniversaries.

Devsaab would have been 100 this year and he may have still been making movies that his heart dictated (had he been around & in good health). I cannot imagine what would be the contents of those movies. In the last few years of his career he acted, produced & directed ‘Main Solah Baras Ki’ (1998), ‘Censor’ (2001), ‘Love at Times Square’ (2003), ‘Mr. Prime Minister’ (2005) & ‘Chargesheet’ (2011); I am not sure of the fate of these at the Box-Office. But he died of cardiac arrest in London on 3rd December 2011, at the age of 88 and we are not sure what we have missed. Gosh! it is 12 years already!

Dev Anand was known to have introduced a lot of new talent to the industry. His 1998 film ‘Main Solah Baras Ki’ was no different. In fact, it was the story of a filmmaker who is on the lookout for a new actress to star in his upcoming Bollywood movie. When he makes an announcement, many Indian women and men all over the world wait with bated breath to see who the lucky woman was going to be. The filmmaker does not find anyone in India, so he decides to tour U.K., and meets with beautiful Tina (Neeru Bajwa), who he casts in his next film. While meeting Tina, he also meets 16-year-old Madhu Mehra (Shaista Usta) in U.K., who also wants to act in his movie called “Main Solah Baras Ki”. The common thing between them is that both- Madhu & Tina- share the same birth date (the year is different); Dev likes Madhu, while Madhu loves Dev, and will do anything to make him notice her as a woman, not as a teen. The question is whether this veteran actor can decide to hold onto his own, while this charming teenager turns on her charm on him.

Jas Arora, Supriya Karnik, Deepak Tijori, Ananth Mahadevan, Tanuja, Harish Patel, A.K. Hangal, Satyen Kappu, Shashikala were the rest of the cast. Rajesh Roshan was the music director & Amit Khanna was the lyricist. Kavita Krishnamurthy, Udit Narayan, Anuradha Paudwal, Kumar Sanu & Alka Yagnik were the playback singers used.

Some small interesting trivia:- Tanuja acted in this Navketan Film almost 30 years after ‘Jewel Thief’. Amit Khanna & Rajesh Roshan came together in a Dev Anand movie 18 years after ‘Manpasand’ & ‘Lootmaar’.
I had zeroed in on a song, which was something like a ghazal, by Udit Narayan to go with this post. The song was nice on the ears but the choreography was something that I couldn’t understand. Then I saw ‘hulchal macha di tune hulchal’ which was also in Udit Narayan’s voice & it also had Devsaab’s trademark smile, mannerisms & twinkle-in-the-eye. So, let us see this 25-year-old song where a (then) 75-year-old Devsaab was still charming. We also see Shaista Usta donning a Army-Major look almost like Devsaab of ‘Hum Dono’ (1961). I think I also heard Dev Anand’s voice at the start of the song; mouthing ‘yeh aankhen uff yumma’.

With this song we also (belatedly) wish Udit Narayan with health & happiness. His birthday was on 1st December.

As I was writing this post a thought struck me. The first time I came across this blog called atulsongaday.me was because my daughter asked me about a song from a Dev Anand film -‘Manzil’ (1960). She asked me for the exact words of the song ‘chupke se miley pyaase pyaase’. She posted a request to Atulji who gave the details in this post.

My journey continued with occasionally commenting to songs posted. One fine day, in 2012, I sent the lyrics to a songfrom ‘Taxi Taxie’ and followed it with another song.

Mere yaar ko mere Allah de ek chaand sa pyaara lalla (Dacait) was my first post ever on the blog. I remember what I had sent him was one long unstructured post. Atulji, was good enough to edit it to look readable (he still has to do it sometimes). Plus the lyrics that I had sent had to be corrected for spellings etc. But, I used to still send lyrics of those songs which I thought everyone will like & enjoy.

Sometime in the first 2 years of my journey as a contributor, I started writing posts only for occasions like festivals, birth & death anniversaries, and my 100th post came with this Sanjeev Kumar-Vidya Sinha song from “Hiraasat”. That first 100 took me a little over three years:- three years & two months to be exact.

My 200th post came in two years with a post for Zeenat Aman’s birthday.

This song, after a year and nine months, was my 300th post.

My 400th post was also for Dev Anand’s anniversary in 2020 (it took one year and four months).

My fastest 100, the 500th, came with this song; which took just a year and two months.

Here is today’s song.

Hullo Atuldom

Back after a gap of around one & half months.

Have been so active, doing various other activities, that for the first time, since 2009 (when I discovered the blog) and 2012 (when my first post appeared on the blog), I missed a few milestones (the 17,700th post) on the day it was posted. Also missed a post by Sudhir ji, which featured a song which I simply love to see “Wo Ladki Hai Kahaan“.

Also I missed writing posts on a few occasions for which I had drafts ready in my mind, but could not get down to writing or typing them. Occasions like the Hindu New Year (call them by any name- Ugadi, Vishu, Baishakhi, Cheti Chand etc.), birthdates and anniversaries of a few favourite celebs (Sachin Tendulkar, Rishi Kapoor, Irfan Khan, etc). Of course, there were posts on these special dates, just that I have been catching up on them over the last few days.

This last month and half, I have been attending a few weddings and landmark birthdays of my brothers & beloved Aunty (‘Kaaki‘ sounds more personal than Aunty). That meant hurried trips to Kerala & Mumbai (twice), and three days in Chennai. I managed to meet Guru ji on my first trip to Mumbai, but could spend only an hour with him. And saw he was preparing for his book ‘Forgotten Artists of Early Cinema and The Same name Confusion’ release.  Feel so proud that I know him.

Getting to the purpose of this post- 3rd May is a special date in the annals of Indian Film Industry. It was on this date, in the year 1913, that Dadasaheb Phalke’s ‘Raja Harishchandra’, the  first full length feature film produced in India, was premiered at Coronation Theater in Bombay. (The first ever film, projected moving pictures, was presented by the Lumiere Brothers in December 1895 in Paris, France).

Starting from that screening of the silent film ‘Raja Harishchandra’ till today, it is 110 years. We have had hundreds & thousands films made in almost all the Indian languages possible. There have been instances of films borrowing story ideas from our mythologies, folklore etc. Stories of India’s freedom struggle, biographies of leaders who were at the forefront at that time. The films made in India have converted novels, books into moving images that have left a permanent imprint in the minds of the enthralled fans. The list of ideas on which films are based are as varied as the framework of our country.

I have never felt the need to see films made in any other country, never had time to discover anything else. Of course, there have been a few English films that have crept into my list of films seen in my lifetime, these may add up to 15/20. But, largely, I have relished films made in Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu etc. In the days when Doordarshan was the sole home-entertainment source, I have even seen films in Gujarati, Bengali & Punjabi.

I know for sure that films were initially made in Lahore, Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, Kolhapur, Poona etc. Post 1947, Bombay, Madras & Calcutta (don’t know about Kolhapur & Poona) were the movie making centres with most South Indian language films being made in Madras. I am not sure about when Kerala, Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka and other states set up their own film cities. (I am expecting answers to all my doubts from the knowledgeable Atulites).

Just as story-ideas were exchanged between the films of all the languages, actors from one region were seen in films of other regions. That trend still continues.

Similarly, there has been a trend of bilinguals & trilinguals (movies made in two or three languages simultaneously) that is accepted by the audiences. And finally there are dubbed versions of popular films too. Even, this system has not been given up, and so we have ‘KGF’ (essentially a Kannada film), ‘RRR’ (Telugu), ‘Bombay’ (Tamil), ‘Roja’ (Tamil) being brought to the notice of the Hindi audiences by dubbing them. I would love to add instances of films from other languages too , but I am ignorant of these. I know for sure that ‘English Vinglish’, ‘Dil Se’, ‘PK’ have been dubbed into south Indian languages.

To celebrate the birthday of the Indian Film Industry I have chosen a song from the film ‘Doli Saja ke Rakhna’ (1998). This is Priyadarshan remaking Fazil’s (who normally made movies in Tamil and Malayalam) ‘Aniyathi Pravu’ (which directly translates as ‘Younger Sister Dove’). ‘Aniyathi Praavu’ was remade as ‘Premisthunnanu’ in Telugu, ‘Kadhalukku Mariyadhai’ in Tamil & ‘Preethigagi’ in Kannada. This is what made me feel ‘DSKR’ was an eligible option to celebrate the Indian Film Industry. It has Anupam Kher, Moushumi Chatterjee, Aruna Irani, Paresh Rawal, Mohnish Behl, Tej Sapru, Ninad Kamat, Suresh Menon, Umesh Shukla playing the family and friends to Akshaye Khanna and Jyothika. Amrish Puri had a special appearance in this film. Malayalam actor Innocent Vareed Thekkethala,  known mononymously as Innocent, also made his Hindi debut in this film.

‘DSKR’ is also the debut film of Jyothika who was born in Mumbai in 1978. She starred in many South Indian films and became very popular too.

I would like to put in a few words about Innocent. He was a versatile actor who graced the Malayalam screen from 1972 and was seen playing characters that mostly brought a smile on the viewers face. He made an excellent foil, co-actor to all his co-stars and his pairing with KPAC Lalitha (who passed away in 2022) was well-received. His career of close to 700 films featured Tamil & Kannada films too. There were two Hindi films also, both made by Priyadarshan. He was also a writer, film producer and a politician. Innocent, who was born on 28th February 1948 died recently, on 26th March at the age of 75. He was a cancer survivor who took ill on 3rd March and died three weeks later. We can see him in today’s song in the uniform of an Army Colonel.

Today’s song is sung by Babul Supriyo & Srinivas. (Again meeting of artists from two regions). The song is composed by AR Rehman and written by Mehboob Kotwal (who is always credited as Mehboob).

Hullo Atuldom

At the outset a Happy Deepawali to all the followers of this blog. Today is Bali Pratipada and the holiday fervour/ fever continues. There are still some friends & relatives to be wished, gifts & sweets to be exchanged. Then there will be Bhai Dooj or Bhau Beej (as it is called in Western India) on the 27th. That will be the last of celebrations (I think) for the Diwali holidays.

We have celebrations in our Atuldom too today. We have an Atulite turning a year older. Additionally, another Atulite’s baby is growing a year older.
Here is wishing the first follower of AtulSongaDay.me a very Happy Birthday. Hope he has a enjoyable musical day & year ahead. Hope he gets back to being active here on the blog. Really miss his posts which are full of his love for Mohd. Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Sahir, and everyone connected with Indian Film Music.

Also wishing the Baby of our friend from Atuldom on her birthday. All the best for her future may she achieve all that she has set her sights on. Hope she shares her father’s love for music.

Today also happens to be the birthday of the first friend in my life, the first playmate of my life. The person who loves singing, dancing & cycling and has a larger reservoir of songs (as compared to me) and is my preferred teammate when there are antakshari games in our family circles; people say we make a formidable team.

“Salaakhen” (1998) was a movie produced by Rajiv Tolani & Guddu Dhanoa. It was directed by Guddu Dhanoa, had music by Dilip Sen- Sameer Sen with Sameer as the lyricist. Abhijeet, Alka Yagnik, Anuradha Paudwal, Chitra, Hema Sardesai, Kumar Sanu, Lalit Sen, Shweta Shetty, Udit Narayan, Vinod Rathod were the playback singers used. The star cast had Raveena Tandon, Sunny Deol (who turned 65 on 19th), Anupam Kher, Deven Verma, Amrish Puri, Mohan Joshi etc. and Manisha Koirala for just a dance interlude i.e. an item number.

It was the story of a young man (Sunny Deol) who is out to take revenge on a corrupt , influential bigshot (Amrish Puri) who is the reason behind his father (Anuam Kher’s) suicide. The upright school teacher father is witness to the bigshot’s son molesting a girl and is hassled by the cops when, first, he goes to report it and then when he goes to testify in the courts. All this harassment confuses him no-end and he takes his own life. The rest of the movie goes along expected lines of any Sunny Deol movie of those times “Dacait”, “Ghayal” etc. can be examples of such movies. Of course there is Raveena Tandon too in the movie in one of her ‘arm-candy’ roles.

Today is Raveena’s 50th birthday. Here is wishing her health & happiness and success in all her endeavours with this song featuring her and Sunny Deol. The song is in the voices of Shweta Shetty and Abhijeet. Ganesh Acharya and Chinni Prakash were the choreographers used in the movie and I have a feeling that this song was choreographed by Ganesh Acharya. Shweta Shetty (a cousin of Shilpa Shetty) was a popular Indie-Pop singer in the 90s (I don’t know if she cuts albums in these times); she is the voice for Raveena Tandon.

Happy Birthday to our fellow Atulite Rajaji and daughter of another Atulite. All the best to the two of them.

Hullo Atuldom

In the (almost) 14 years of its existence, there have been many changes in the lives of those associated with atulsongaday.me.

Our Atulji has shifted base a few times in these years. If I am not wrong his daughter has qualified to be a doctor as also Nahmji’s son and Shri Arunkumar Deshmukhji’s (Guruji) grandson/s have also become doctors. Peevesie who entered the world of ASAD and was called the youngest follower turning to contributor and mouthpiece (for the blog) among her friends and family has since become a working adult and even has a life-partner as also Nahmji’s daughter. Avinashji has also shifted base a few times and also had an overseas stint in the years in between. Maheshji (Mukesh Fan is his second name) has returned to Motherland and is no longer an NRA (non-resident atulite). I know that similar changes, in life & on the work front, have happened in the lives of other Atulites too. I have myself graduated from being a full-time mother to a leisurely-paced mother.

There is a lesser-known Atulite who has contributed only one post as a guest-poster (she took over the mantle of youngest contributor). Her forte’ is that she is musically inclined as her father (a hyper-active atulite). I know that she also pens verses which are very meaningful. She had given her father this post on his birthday six years back. She was welcomed wholeheartedly by atulites who wanted more from her but her preoccupation with education and other activities may not have given her time to contribute more to the blog. But the song with that post was so meaningful, it would have been appropriate for today. She has grownup into a young adult and is stepping into a new phase of her life. Here is wishing her all the best for the future.

There is a happy event happening in the life of our Guruji too in the next few days. Wishing him lots of joy and all the best to his grandson.

“Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai” is a title that was first used in Hindi films in 1961 which was written and directed by Nasir Husain and had his time-tested formula of hero impersonating, heroine falling in love with the impersonator, misunderstandings creeping in due to the villain and heroine’s father, and finally the hero and heroine getting married with the blessings of all elders. The movie was littered with great songs.

The title was repeated again in 1998. This time the director was Deepak Sareen who had started his career as assistant to Yash Chopra in ‘Deewar’. He had been assistant in ‘Kabhi Kabhi’, ‘Doosra Aadmi’, ‘Silsila’, ‘Mashaal’ and ‘Faasle’ before independently directing ‘Ranbhoomi’, ‘Aaina’, ‘Gaddar’, ‘Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai’, and ‘Albela’. This romantic film had a skirt-chaser for a hero who is disliked by the girl initially. He woos her by promising to give up his errant ways, convinces both families that they are ready to marry. But the twist in the tale comes in the form of the hero’s son from a previous girlfriend who insists that he will tell-all to the fiancee if the hero doesn’t tell himself. The story comes to a happy ending with the girl and the child forgiving the hero and ‘THE END’

“Jab Pyaar Kisi Se Hota Hai” (1998) starred Twinkle Khanna, Farida Jalal, Himani Shivpuri, Namrata Shirodkar (guest appearance), Salman Khan, Anupam Kher, Johnny Lever, Saeed Jaffery, and Master Aditya Narayan. The movie had songs written by Anand Bakshi and composed by Jatin-Lalit. Today we are having the movie debuting with a song sung by Alka Yagnik and Sonu Nigam. It has the whole cast except Aditya Narayan enjoying the engagement of Salman and Twinkle.

55th birthday of A. R. Rehman
———————————————————–

A. R. Rehman – The musician of 21st century – 1
———————————————————–

Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field. I will meet you there. – Rumi

Some years ago, I received a Whatsapp forward featuring a sketch with Rumi’s character, in a 21st century setting. This requires careful description, so you all please be patient with me.

There he was, 13th century persian poet and philosopher, Jalaludding Rumi, turban and all, sitting on one end of a small primitive boat. A boat that fits in a New York apartment’s living room. Guess who is doing the honors of ‘Chappu chalauing’ at the other end of the boat? It was Chandler, of ‘Friends’ fame. Imagine a boat on the floor of a city living room, at one end Chandler is roving the boat and Rumi is sitting on the other end. The caption with it, also in 21st century English, read “When you are looking for a Roomie and misspell it!”

Ha Ha Ha Ha. If no one is laughing, I have only myself to blame for thinking of Rumi. “ham wahan hain jahan se ham ko bhi kuchh hamaari khabar nahi aati”

I have been exposed to some episodes of ‘Friends’, so identifying Chandler was the easy bit in the caricature. I could connect, the word “Roomie” to Rumi after some deliberation, but never having seen Rumi, or his picture or sketch, I was wondering who is the peasant in the boat. And what is a boat doing in the living room? It transpired that Rumi had arrived in his boat in response to the ad posted by Chandler for a roomie, as he misspelt it as Rumi. Since in Rumi’s time the preferred mode of transport was a boat, Persia is sure to have been full of rivers. Or canals, like Venice.

But I quite liked the idea of a boat in the living room. I did contemplate, on a real-life boat, the size of a two-three seater sofa, which was available for sale in a handicraft shop in Alleppy, Kerela. I could not figure out a way of transporting it to Mumbai, so had to drop the idea. I have a few embellished display size boats, but it is not the same. Now, after writing all this, I am thinking I should make another attempt at it.

At least a boat is doable, but imagine if someone is fond of trains, how will they get them in the living room. Trains are good for travelling, they take you from Point A to Point B, that is their usefulness. I have seen a train on the dining table with tracks and all, for movement of serving dishes, somewhere in a museum, probably. Now that is nice idea, if the kitchen is next of the dining section, a train can be made and for variety, a tunnel or two can added in the landscape. My imagination is running away with me.

I have finally arrived at the destination point, i. e. a train song. An iconic song for our generation of movie goers. A sufiana song written by Gulzar and composed by A. R. Rehman for Dil Se(1998). Singers are Sukhwinder Singh and Sapna Awasthi. There is a lot of trivia available here about this song. There is this page too, which states that this song and video was at 9th position in the poll for top 10 all time songs, for which people from 55 countries voted. This poll was conducted by BBC world service.

The original composition of a solo by Sukhwinder Singh titled “Thaiyya thaiya” is also part of the movie’s song track, though it was not used in the film. The song begin with the lines “Eid aayi mera yaar nayi aaya”, but it is actually based on Bulle Shah’s “Tere ishq nachaya kar thhaiya thhaiya”. The version is mostly in Punjabi, with the same tune. So, I thought maybe that should be treated as a separate song.

These films songs are among the best of A. R. Rehman, Gulzar and Lata Mangeshkar. And they will be the best of Udit Narayan & Mahalaxmi Iyer(Aye Ajnabi), Sonu Nigam & Kavita Krishnamurthy(tu hi tu satragi re), Sukhwinder Singh and Sapna Awasthi(Chhaiyya chhaiyya).

The song becomes iconic due to its picturization of a group of dancers, with Shah Rukh Khan and Malaika Arora, dancing atop a running train. It is shot in location of Ooty. This is also the best of Farah Khan’s choreography. This is among the first few outdoorsy songs I shortlisted for posting in the blog.

Gulzar sahab is talking of ‘Jannat’ and ‘Firdaus’, which means Paradise. ‘Gulposh is invisible, kaayenaat is universe, Taaveez is talisman, ‘aayat’ is sentence/verse(scholars say ‘aayat’ in the quranic context are niether sentence nor verse, it is an entirely different unit of deliverance) of Al-Quran which are in Arabic. What Gulzar sahab may mean in this line ‘mera naghma wahi mera kalma wahi’, is that ishq as a philosophy is my song, my first and last word.

wo yaar hai jo khushboo ki tarah
jis ki zubaan urdu ki tarah

The first thought the word ‘Urdu’ invokes in the minds of Urdudaan as well as non-urdudaan, is its sweetness (Shireen) and cultured-ness(muhazzib). These two things ‘shireeni’ and ‘tehzeeb’ go hand in hand and are two sides of the same coin. This literally means, the object of ishq is anything that has flagrant aura and talks speaks and sings with a sweetness. Fragrance is a thing which is also pure, clean and invisible. Sincerity and unpretentiousness, plus a sweet way of conduct and speech is:

Meri shaam raat
Meri kaayenaat

Shaam is a time of relaxation and liesure and raat is for resting. ‘Kaayenaat’ is my ‘universe of abundance’. So there goes, if the object of my ishq is, the highest ideals of sincerity and good conduct, then it will be my contentment and happiness for which sky in the limit. Is this the salvation and moksh in this life?

Saare ishq ki chhaaon chale chhainyya chhainya
Paaon jannat chale chale chal chhainyya chhainyya

And

Jin ke sar ho ishq ki chhaaon
Paaon ke neeche jannat hogi

They both mean the same, that those who live under the shade of such an ishq, heaven/paradise is theirs.

Remembering Jalaluddin Rumi and his philosophy is eventually justified by Gulzar sahab’s this master piece. Maybe the quote is the wrong one, the correct one is this:

“There is no salvation for the soul but to fall in love. Only lovers can escape out of these two worlds.” – Rumi

I have been thinking for sometime now that there so many iconic songs composed by ARR, that a garland or a necklace of these gems can be made. So I have chosen myself to do this series. The first episode is this song, starting on the birthday of ARR. I have done a few posts of his songs in the blog earlier for songs of ‘lagan’ ‘zubieda’ ‘sapney’ etc. This is by far an ambitious series for me to undertake, as it is very difficult to fit theses gems in a particular form to complete a cohesive design of the necklace. I will play by the ear, and God willing try to complete this series in 2022.

It can be seen from the table of 1998 that Lata Mangeshkar sang 11 songs in 4 movies released in 1998.

Two songs sung by Lata Mangeshkar in movies of 1998 have been covered in the blog. All songs from one movie “Dil Se”(1998)- a grand total of one Lata Mangeshkar solo song, has been covered in the blog. So 9 songs from 3 movies of 1998 sung by Lata Mangeshkar are yet to be covered in the blog.

Alphabetically “Dushman”(1998) is the first movie of 1998 that offers us a Lata Mangeshkar song to be covered in the blog.

“Dushman”(1998) was inspired from Hollywood movie “Eye for an eye”(1996). It was produced by Pooja Bhatt and directed by Tanuja Chandra for Pooja Bhatt Productions, Bombay. The movie had Kajol(in dual/double role), Sanjay Dutt, Ashutosh Rana, Tanvi Azmi, Jas Arora,Pramod Moutho, Kunal Khemu, Pratima Kazmi, Anupam Shyam,Vani Tripathi, Amardeep Jha, Rahul Singh, Vishesh, Sanjeev Vatsa,Robin Bhatt, Pinky Singh, Omkar Singh, Baby Varsha, Naresh suri,Master Vishal,Dinesh Chaturvedi,Krishna Bhatt, Savita Karle, Varsha Lalwani, Javed Rizvi, Narendra Sachar etc in it.

The movie had 9 songs in it. Five of these songs had the voice of Lata Mangeshkar in it.

One song (a Lata Mangeshkar duet song) has been covered in the past.

Here is another song from the movie. It is a multiple version song. Female version is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and male version by Jagjit Singh. Male version also has humming by Lata Mangeshkar, so it can even be considered a duet. In case we consider a duet then it would become the first ever Lata-Jagjit Singh duet in Hindi movies. Here I have considered it as a duet.

Lata Mangeshkar version is a background song which is picturised on Tanvi Azmi, Kajol, Baby Varsha, Jas Arora etc.

Only audio of the Jagjit Singh (with Lata Mangeshkar humming) is available.

Hullo Atuldom

Today’s song is a melody from the late ’90s. It is from “Dushman” (1998) which was produced by Pooja Bhatt & Mukesh Bhatt and directed by Tanuja Chandra. It was well received by the critics and masses. It had a cast of Kajol (in a double role) with Sanjay Dutt, Ashutosh Rana, Tanvi Azmi, Jas Arora, Pramod Moutho, Naresh Suri etc. Kunal Khemu played a 11 year-old helper of the blind ex-serviceman played by Sanjay Dutt. The movie had nine songs (two songs have two versions) penned by Anand Bakshi and composed by Uttam Singh.

It was the story of a pair of twins- Sonia and Naina, and a sadistic serial killer Gokul (Ashutosh Rana). Gokul rapes and kills Sonia (Kajol). Naina is shaken, and distraught and vows to avenge her death. In this she seeks the help of Suraj Singh Rathod (Sanjay Dutt), a blind military veteran. Naina (Kajol) trains under him and overcomes her fear of the serial killer. And in the process falls in love with the blind Suraj. Today’s song is a romantic duet sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Kumar Sanu.

“Dushman” as a movie title was used in 1939, 1957, 1971, 1990 and 1998. The first three ‘Dushman’/s are already on the blog and Yyiippeeeed too.

Today we are having the 1998 “Dushman” making it’s debut on the blog on the occasion of Kajol turning a year younger.

The first post that the blog had to wish Kajol on her birthday was by Rajaji. He had posted a very melodious song from “Udhaar Ki Zindagi” (1994).

Kajol is one actress who is a “chip-off-the old-block” and has a lineage that has actors and filmmakers as grand parents (paternal and maternal) that starts with Sashadhar Mukherjee, and Shobana Samarth. Her mother Tanuja, aunt Nutan and cousins are all actors. Kajol herself is very versatile and has been awarded the Filmfare for best actress in a negative role for “Gupt” in 1997. She is also married into a Bollywood family-her husband is the actor/director/producer Ajay Devgan.

Here is wishing Kajol Happy Birthday and all the best in life and work.

Hullo Atuldom

We are on the last date of the first month of the 21st year of the 21st century.

January happens to be a cold month in the northern hemisphere of the earth. And India is in the middle of having winter which is characterized by fog, mist, cold winds etc depending on the Latitude that one resides on. When I used to be in Mumbai, the closest I came to experiencing ‘Sardi’, ‘Thandi’ etc was in the last week of December or first week of January. That too in the morning hours, till about 8 o’clock, then the thermometer would read round about 27 and 30 degrees Celsius during the day. I don’t remember seeing fog or mist there, but I had different climatic experiences once we shifted to Bangalore. I have seen all winter related features which last from November to January end with temperatures dropping to 10 degrees etc. Now in my current station, which is in the midst of lots of greenery and away from the hustle bustle of city-life, though the temperature did not touch 10 degrees on any day, we have been experiencing thick fog, cold winds, cold floors, etc.

All this talk of winter and cold climate, in addition to sharing pictures of fog with friends and family reminded me of a whole set of songs:- ‘jab chali thandi hawa’, ‘thandi hawaa yeh chaandni suhaani’, ‘thandi hawaa kaali ghaata aa hi gayi jhoom ke’, ‘thandi hawaayen lehraake aayen’, ‘thandi thandi hawaa mein dil lalchaaye’, ‘mujhko thand lag rahi hain’ etc etc.

The songs that I have mentioned are all popular numbers from their times. But the movies of the new century are no different. They also have songs where the different characters are reacting to cold climates with lots of guts- it takes a lot of guts to shoot these songs in cold climates, with snow etc for added effect and in costumes that are of the thinnest fabric possible like chiffon, lace etc. (Possibly the only climate appropriate dressing was Saira Banu in ‘Junglee’ and some other heroines of the ’60s and Hema Malini in a few movies of the ’70s, recently I re-saw “Dost”.) For further enhancement of the scene we may even see short dresses with long boots. My sympathies with all the female actors who have done those songs and scenes. And what do the male actors wear in such songs- long coats, mufflers, gloves etc.

In the build up to this post I recalled a 23 year old song. This song was shot in the cold climes of Australia. I had mentioned this movie to fellow-atulites, on our WhatsApp group last week, when the India- Australia cricket series was on. The uniqueness about this song is the heroine is dressed in climate appropriate clothes and we have the hero trying to be MANLY and showing of his biceps etc in half-jacket and jeans. I also read the heroine reminiscing about how the actor was shivering during the shoot.

I am talking of Preity Zinta and Bobby Deol. The movie was “Soldier” which was released in 1998. It was produced by Ramesh Taurani of Tips Records and directed by the director-duo: brothers Abbas-Mustan. It had Anu Malik as music director and Sameer was the lyricist. It was the third highest grossing album of 1998 behind “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” and “Dil Se”.

This was Preity Zinta’s debut movie though she had signed “Kya Kehna” before this. “Dil Se” and “Soldier” have billed Preity Zinta as debutant; Preity had a supporting role in “Dil Se”. She was born in Shimla on 31st January. So today is her Birthday. Last I had written a post for her birthday was when she turned 40.

She has taken a sabbatical from acting a few times since 2009 for the sake of her IPL team. She has married her long-time American partner in 2016. In her career of almost 25 years, she has acted with all the top actors of the ’90s and later years. She has also acted in a movie with Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Kapoor where her character was negative and Schizophrenic. She was praised for her portrayal of the character. She also appeared alongside The Big B in an English language film that was directed by Rituparno Ghosh “The Last Lear” in 2007, this was a film-inside-a-film drama. She has also played the traditional glamorous actress in movies. She has shared screen space with top actresses like Madhuri Dixit, Rani Mukherjee etc too.

Today’s song is to wish Bobby Deol too, even if belatedly for his birthday which was on 27th, he turned 52. Born as Vijay Singh Deol into the film industry as the youngest child of Dharmendra and Prakash Kaur. He first faced the camera when he was 5 or 6 year old as the baby Dharam in “Dharam Veer” (1977). His first adult role was in “Barsaat” (1995) where another star-child Twinkle Khanna made her debut. He has one more “Barsaat” (2005) in the list of his films. He has appeared in a few mutli-starrers and also shared screen space with his father and brother in a few of their home productions. The “Yamla Pagla Deewana” series was good to see due to the Deols even if the story was lame, tame or weak. It is always entertaining to see the Deols.

Hullo Atuldom

“Duplicate” (release date 8/5/1998) was a movie that we went to see as a family because it had Shahrukh Khan in the lead. Those were times when we used to pick-and-choose movies which had decent or fun songs and some actor of our liking and we could take the children along. Thus we ended up seeing this ‘not-so-great’ story-wise film which was produced by Yash Johar and directed by Mahesh Bhatt. It had music by Anu Malik and lyrics were by Javed Akhtar. Alka Yagnik, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Kumar Sanu, Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Udit Narayan and Shankar Mahadevan were the singers used. This was one of the cassette tapes that I had purchased as the kids loved its songs. Personally speaking, I enjoyed the movie as it was inane, illogical and simply masaledaar Bollywood stuff. The kind which helps us to forget ourselves during the duration of its screening.

This was Shahrukh’s first double role movie (1996 had seen him play a triple role in “English Babu Desi Mem”, but the characters he played didn’t share screen space) where he played a bumbling youngman out to get a job as a top chef in a big 5-star hotel. The other SRK was a gangster on the run. The movie opens with Manu, the gangster, trying to hoodwink the cops with the help of his girlfriend Lily (Sonali Bendre). Juhi Chawla plays Sonia Kapoor, a hotel HR Manager, who bumps into Babloo (chef SRK) when they get into the same Taxi (from different sides of course) and end up bickering about who had hailed the cab etc. The cab driver mediates and suggests that they share the fare as the destination is same- the hotel where Babloo has an interview to attend. The ride to the hotel is peppered with Babloo rehearsing for the interview and Sonia and the driver enjoying themselves. The highlight of the scene is when Babloo declares his goals in life which includes “feeding his girlfriend VADAPAV that he will make in the 5-star kitchen”. (I hope I am exact at this, Peevesie).

We had Farida Jalal playing Babloo’s mother who is disappointed with his career choice as her aim was to make him a wrestler like his father. The movie also has a sprinkling of supporting actors – Tiku Talsania whose aim is to nab Manu, Gulshan Grover playing the badman character, Sharat Saxena, Kunal Vijaykar etc. There is a guest appearance by Kajol (though I don’t recall much about that).

The songs were all fun to watch but there was one really lyrical song in the album which had Javed Akhtar at his romantic best (for this movie).This is the song with which the movie is making its debut on the blog today.

I would love it if the birthday boy would care to explain a few words of this song. I am hinting at our Dilldaar Dilliwala -Sudhirji. Last year I had wished that he didn’t run out of ‘ideas for posts and series’ and he came up with a “this week that year” series that is essentially analyzing the blog for that week 10 years ago. We are missing it for the last month and half Sirji!!! 🙂 We want more of it -‘Yeh dil maange more’.

It also happens to be Shahrukh Khan’s birthday today as also Anu Malik’s. One has ruled the hearts of his fans with his acting and the other has given songs that make the fans dance. One was born into the industry but worked his way up the ranks. The other had no filmy connection but still has had a good to very good career graph. The melodies that this team has dished out are mostly successful.

Cannot forget “kiska hai yeh tumko intezaar main hoon na” (Main Hoon Na); “ae mere humsafar ae meri jaan-e-jaan” and “yeh kaali kaali aankhen” (Baazigar); “apun bola tu meri laila” (Josh); “iss pyaar se meri taraf na dekho pyaar ho jaayega” (Chamatkar); oh there are numerous songs of this jodi that will feature in my playlist.

Anu Malik made his debut in 1977 and SRK made his debut first on Doordarshan in 1988 before Hema Malini signed him on for “Dil Aashna Hain” but his first release was “Deewana”. Both the movies had Divya Bharati as his heroine. then we had a deluge where we saw him in “Chamatkar” (first with Anu Malik as music director), “Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman” (first of many with Juhi Chawla), “Baazigar” (again Anu Malik and first with Kajol),etc. etc. He was given the Filmfare award for best actor for his anti-hero role in “Baazigar”. He has won awards as many as 14 Filmfare awards of which 8 are as best actor. He was awarded the Padma Shri in 2005.

Talking of Anu Malik, his father was the music director of the ’50s and ’60s. Recently I have subscribed to a channel which show evergreen classics along with programs like Sunheri Yaadein, Sitaaron Ka Caravan etc. One such treasure house program is Anmol Yaadein where in the host was interviewing Anu Malik. I saw Anu mention therein, that Sardar Malik was married to the sister of Hasrat Jaipuri. So as a child Anu, who was a fan of Shankar Jaikishan, used to pester his mama to take him along to the recordings where SJ were at work. Anu managed to meet his favourite composers through his mama (uncle Hasrat Jaipuri) and also play some music to them. Anu goes on to say that the legendary duo were impressed with Anu’s comfort when playing the Harmonium and he took it as their blessing for his future. He has worked with almost all lead singers of Bollywood starting with Manna Dey to many of the current day singers. He has been a judge on many Television shows.

Today’s song is in the voice of Kumar Sanu. It is filmed in the picturesque locales of Switzerland. In fact the church shown in this song is a famous attraction for Indian tourists and I recollect our tour operator making special mention of it as “the church where SRK has romanced a few heroines” mainly Kajol in DDLJ. This movie was not popular I suppose, or even this would have been mentioned.

Another thing which I would like to point out is the prominent use of the Tabla – Anu Malik’s favoured percussion instrument. It is used very nicely in the antara.

BTW I would love to know what is the meaning of “Katthai aankhon wali” as far as I understand the language ‘Kattha ‘ goes with ‘choona and supari’ in Paan (betel leaf).
Editors note:- (Katthai is the colour of katthai, viz bronish, so “katthai aankhon waali” means “browned eyed”.

Here is wishing our fellow Atulite a Very Very happy Birthday Sudhirji. In addition wishing the Bollywood jodi of Anu Malik and Shahrukh Khan on their birthday.

Hullo Atuldom

Today we are remembering a celebrity who began his life as a Professor of Civil Engineering in a Mumbai engineering college. A huge fan of Dilip Kumar, he was spotted by comedian Agha when he was performing in a play “Taash ke Pattey”. The play was recommended to Dilip saab who saw it, and signed this Professor/ stage actor for “Sagina” and “Bairaag”. This was the start of a career that spanned from the ’70s to 2019 – Govinda starrer Rangeela Raja released in 2019.

This post is about Kadar Khan who was born in Kabul to Afghan parents. He was educated in Mumbai and graduated as a civil engineer. His career as a writer in Bollywood took off when he was offered to co-write the script of “Jawaani Diwaani” by Narinder Bedi. This was followed by dialogue, script writing for over 200 films in addition to acting in around 300.

I am unable to decide if he was a better actor or writer. I am unable to decide if he evoked more emotion in the public as a villain or comic character actor. I am in love with his pairing with Govinda in both serious and comic roles. There are many movies to choose from where they have showcased their comic timing but that does not mean that they couldn’t emote serious situations. They have played grandfather -grandson in “Jaisi Karni Waisi Bharni”, father-n-son in “Haseena Maan Jaayegi”, “Sindoor”; father-in law son-in-law in “Dulhe Raja”. I don’t know if David Dhawan brought out the best in them. But it is to Rajesh Khanna’s credit that Manmohan Desai paid Kadar Khan handsomely for writing the dialogues of “Roti” in 1974.

I loved him as the lovable old man in “Gharwali Baharwali”, “Saajan Chale Sasural”, “Mr & Mrs Khiladi”. He was cute as the outwardly-submissive husband of Bindu in “Biwi Ho To Aisi”. He played a similar character with Shashikala as his wife in “Ghar Ghar Ki Kahaani” (1988). He has played serious characters too as in “Yaarana”, “Adalat”, “Roti”, “Tohfa”- there is a whole list of such films.
He has had a few songs picturized on him in his long and illustrious career. Some have been philosophical and some have been funny. He has also tried to dance in some of these songs and it used to be rather cute to see.

In today’s song too, we see Kadar Khan play a slightly old character who is frustrated by the presence of a “Dhaaba” in the premises of his five star hotel. He has tried all possible tactics to evict the dhabbawala. The competition in the song is one such attempt.

This song is written by Sameer and Anand- Milind are the music composers. It is sung by Vinod Rathod and Sonu Nigam. The song has a lot of well-known couplets strung together rather imaginatively and that had made it appealing to the younger generation of that period. Besides being a song from my own ‘list of loved songs’ it also belonged to my dad’s list. He must have seen this movie every time it came on television and so have I. I am sure that the song was inspired by the song from “Padosan”- “ek chatur naar” going by the way the characters are emoting- all over the top.

The movie had Raveena Tandon as his daughter and Johnny Lever played Kadar Khan’s Man-Friday who is in cahoots with the dhabbawala -Govinda- who feels that he should be the “Dulhe Raja” of the hotel owner Singhania -played by Kadar Khan.

“Dulhe Raja” released on 10th July 1998. This was one of the 13 films that released in 1998 with Kadar Khan in the cast, he was definitely a busy 60-year old in that year.

marne ke baad bhi khuli rahi aankhen
ye mere intezaar ki hadd thi
ye mere intezaar ki hadd thi
ye mere intezaar ki hadd thhi
ye mere intezaar ki hadd thi

haan
main tujhe jhel gaya
jhelne ki hadd thhi
arre main tujhse khel gaya
khelne ki hadd thhi
tere saamne dhaaba khola aa aa
ye mere kholne ki hadd thhi
haan mere kholne ki hadd thhi

ye tere kholne ki hadd thhi
ye tere kholne ki hadd thhi

sa ri ga ma pa dha ni sa
sa ni dha pa ma ga ri sa
tere ghar mein paisa paisa
mere ghar mein paisa paisa

main idhar jaaun ke udhar jaaun
badi mushkil,
mushkil,
mushkil
mushkil mein hoon
mai kidhar jaaun
idhar jaaun
udhar jaaun
udhar jaaun
idhar jaaun
kidhar jaaun
kidhar jaaun
ooo ho

yeah
yeah
yeah
daulat se gaya
shohrat se gaya
bhari mehfil mein izzat se gaya
ha ha ha
bahut hawa mein thha
yaaron main baazi maar gaya
meri jeet hui
yeh haar gaya
meri jeet hui
yeh haar gaya
meri jeet hui
yeh haar gaya
meri ho gayi iss ki kothi haweli
meri ho gayi haan aan
meri ho gayi iss ki kothi haweli
kahaan raja bhoj
kahaan gangu teli
kahaan raja bhoj
kahaan gangu teli

kahaan raja bhoj
kahaan gangu teli
kahaan raja bhoj
kahaan gangu teli

hoy hoy hoy hoy
ahaa
