The song with this post is courtesy Peevesie. My daughter who led me to this blog in 2009. I just popped a question to her and the answer was this song. And why does she love this song because of its lyrics, which are very layman-friendly; almost like what she herself will tell or write.

30th March marks 24 years since Anand Bakshi bid goodbye to this mortal world. He was all of 72 then. In the 45 years that he was active in the Hindi film industry he had worked with nearly 95-100 music directors (as per google) beginning with “Silver King” (1957) which had music by Sudipta (knowledgeable Atulites, please confirm if this music director is same as Sudipta Bhattacharya) & “Bhala Aadmi” (1958) with music by Nisar Bazmi; Bakshisaab first wrote for ‘Bhala Aadmi’ but ‘Silver King’ released first is what I discovered on google as I sat to write this post.

Syed Emraan Anwar Hashmi (known simply as Emraan Hashmi in the entertainment industry) was born in Mumbai to Anwar Hashmi who was essentially a businessman who had acted in “Baharon Ki Manzil” (1969) as the character that Farida Jalal’s character is supposed to marry (found this bit of information on the internet). Emraan Hashmi’s paternal grandmother was the yesteryear actress Meherbhano Mohammad Ali who was popular as Purnima, whose last released film came in the late 1990s. Purnima’s father (a Tamil Brahmin), was supposed to have been an accountant in the office of film distributor Kikubhai Dessai. Emraan Hashmi’s grand aunt was the mother of filmmakers Mahesh Bhatt & Mukesh Bhatt.

Tum ko paaya hai to jaise khoya hoon
Kehna chaahoon tum se bhi to kya kahoon
Kisi zabaan mein bhi wo lafz hi nahin
Ke jin mein tum ho kya tumhen bataa sakoon
Main agar kahoon tum saa haseen
Kaayenaat mein nahin hai kaheen
Ta’areef yeh bhi to sach hai kuchh bhi nahin
How can an emotion, an achievement, a lacking, a statement, a praise, an expression of being lost, are to be expressed in a few lines? This mukhda of the song in “Om Shanti Om” is a perfect example. It says quite plainly that there are not words to be found in any language to describe you, i.e. the heroine. It is not just her beauty, the hero wants to praise. It is the essence of the person, that he is unable to describe.
In the stanza, her attributes are detailed as shokhiyon, adaayen, zulf, aanchal, roop ki chaandni etc. also dilkashi. But these words are just not enough to say what the hero wants to say. I have seen this film, but cant recall the whole story. Will have to see this once more to refresh the memory.

After that qawwali like fusion wedding song from “Bombay”, I remembered a few filmy qawwalis from the 21st century. Several of them are composed by ARR, so there is a possibility of at least one more qawwali in that series. There is another one from the 90’s which should follow in the next few days.
After the top one “Na to karwaan ki talaash hai” many people consider “parda hai parda hai” to be second most liked and famous qawwali in Rafi Sahab’s songs. I am sceptical about this rating. I have personally always liked “pal do pal ka saathh hamaara” and “Hai agar dushman” better than the hugely popular “Parda hai parda hai”. This qawwali is performed in most of the shows of Rafi Sahab songs. That is fine, as someone remarked, that it is a more engaging one and singers enjoy performing it. That makes it a favourite for the singers too. So, it has somethings going for it. I just wish that the singers try other equally appealing and engaging qawwalis too. All of them are trying to touch the benchmark, in playback singing left by Rafi Sahab. Some say that the textbook is written, and ink dried, and they just need to open the pages and try and absorb.

After covering songs released in 1900s (mostly from 1960s to 1980s), this becomes my first post covering a song released in the current millenium that started from 2000.
Many HF music lovers consider the golden era of HFM as finished in 1970. For me personally, it stopped in 1980. Not that post 1980 there was not good music but it was too few and far between. So if till the 70s decade, every year 7 or 8 movies out of 10 had good music, then it fell down to 4-5 out of 10 in 80s and 2-3 out of 10 during the 90. But post 2000 it became 2-3 out of every 25 movies released. These are entirely my figures from my gut feeling, I don’t attribute them to any study or report. Therefore, you have been seeing my posts from primarily the 60s to the 80s decades.

An exercise called Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Voters’ list is being carried out in 12 states and union territories of India. It has received lots of attention in the media and it has created lots of confusion and doubts in the minds of public.
In this article, I would discuss this matter in detail so that our doubts and confusion on this matter get cleared.

I have a list of ‘Yaad” songs to post. This being a classic “yaad” song, with the oft repeated line “Teri Yaad Saathh hai”. This song is unforgettable in many aspects. Over the years, I have wanted to post this one. Whenever Raahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice is heard, this is the song I remember every time. So consistent is the association.
After visiting UK and London in 2021, I looked up this song but could not find the link with such visuals which are here in the full audio version. Video clip is small with the song playing in the background, when Rishi Kapoor visits India and taking his wife and daughter Katrina Kaif around and they visit all the important places of worship, mostly in north India and the trip ends with the Taj Mahal visit. In the full audio version, the whole films scenes and story is related in partly present and flashback. I have seen the film 2-3 times. It makes a good watch, light romance and decent songs.
