#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Darindaa-1977)
——————————————-——————————————
“Darindaa-1977” was directed by Kaushal Bharati for ‘Bunty Enterprises, Bombay’. It was produced by M.S. Gulati. It had Sunil Dutt, Feroz Khan, Parveen Babi, Madan Puri, Bharat Bhushan, Raj Mehra, Shivraj, Mridula, Birbal, Sajjan and others. Premnath, Preeti Sapru, Komila Virk, Lily Chakravarti and Janaki Dass had special appearances in this movie.
Kaushal Bharati who had directed this movie was also the writer of this movie. Editing of this film was done by B.S. Glaad.
“Darindaa-1977”was passed by Censor Board on 24.11.1977.
This movie has five songs written by Indeevar and music was composed by Kalyanji-Anandji. Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Yesudas, Kanchan, Mukesh and Mohd Rafi had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
Here is the list of songs in this movie. (HFGK mentions total seven sound tracks for this movie which were released on its records. Out of these there were five songs, one music track and one dialogues’ track).
| SNo. | Song Title | Singer/s | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Aap ke gumsum rehne se har shai pe udaasi chhaayi hai | Kishore Kumar | |
| 02 | Ladki kaahe ko bani | Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, chorus | |
| 03 | Ho o …pyaar kar le, kar le pyaar gori | Yesudas, Kanchan | |
| 04 | Chaahe aaj mujhe naa pasand karo | Mukesh | 22.07.2017 |
| 05 | Tu jo nahin koyi mera, mera koyi nahin | Mohd Rafi | |
| 06 | Music track | ||
| 07 | Dialogues track |
I do not remember to have watched this movie and also I do not remember to have listened to the songs of this movie except the one that has been posted on the blog.
The song ‘chaahe aaj mujhe naa pasand karo’ sung by Mukesh has been presented on the blog by our Shri Raja Saab and it was posted on 22.07.2017.
Raja Saab had also watched this movie again (as he mentioned, for the above post) and had briefly mentioned about the story of this movie in his post which I am reproducing below.
Briefly, the story is how Sunil Dutt, separated as a poor young boy from his rich childhood friend, Parveen Babi, grows up as a yogi, supposedly to do good deeds.
But he has just one goal in mind – to find Parveen, and win her over. He searches everywhere for her – becoming a monster (Darinda) in the process, even killing women in his pursuit.
And when he finally does find her, she is engaged to be married to Feroze Khan. How he then reacts, what is Parveen’s reaction, what happens to Feroze?
– See the film if you want to find out. (There’s a bit of hint in this song too)
Today I present the second song from this movie which is sung by Yesudas and Kanchan. The song is lip-synced by Feroz Khan and Parveen Babi on screen. This is a romantic song between the two ‘lovers’ or ‘engaged couple’ 🙂 and shot on beautiful outdoor locations and a ‘sea-beach’. The pair of Feroz Khan and Parveen Babi looked beautiful in this song.
I had not heard this song earlier, but it is a nice hummable song and it grows upon us if we listen to it twice or thrice.
I guess that this movie must be a watchable movie given the ‘social drama’ and also I guess it must be having some powerful dialogues of Sunil Dutt.
We will ‘travel’ into this movie more in future… 🙂
Till then let us enjoy this duet in the special voices of Yesudas and Kanchan…
(Note- The video print of this song (and even the movie available on internet) is not much clear).
Lyrics are by Indeevar and music is composed by Kalyanji-Anandji.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Debutant Movie- Kismat/Qismat-1980)
——————————————-——————————
With this post we introduce the movie ‘Qismat-1980’ on the blog.
Movies with this title-Kismat or Qismat were made and released in the years ‘1943’, ‘1956’(Qismat), ‘1968’, ‘1980’(Qismat), ‘1995’(Qismat) and in the year ‘2004’.
(I hope all them brought good ‘fortunes’ to the ‘producers’ of the movies 🙂 ).
Out of these the movies released in ‘1943’, ‘1956’ and ‘1968’ have already been represented on the blog.
I was longing to present this movie on the blog as it serves the purpose of bringing ‘movies with the same title on the blog’ (at least till the decade of 1971-1980).
‘Qismat-1980’ was directed by Bhishm Kohli for ‘Pashupati Pictures, Bombay’.
It had Ranjeeta, Mithun Chakravarty, Shakti Kapoor, Shivangi Kolhapure (debutant movie), T.P. Jain, Urmila Bhatt, Dulari, Gautam Sarin, Tarun Ghosh, Vimal Chopra, Rajeev, Bholu Vadhawan, Gurbachan, Om Shivpuri, Baby Pinki, Master Bobby, Neelofar, Birbal, Rajat, Lateef and others.
Jalal Agha had a guest appearance in this movie.
This movie was a ‘social movie’, passed by Censor Board on 18.08.1980.
‘Qismat-1980’ has six songs written by Amit Khanna and composed by Bappi Lahiri. Asha Bhonsle, Manna Dey, Yesudas, Kishore Kumar and T. Meena had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
Here is the list of the songs in this movie with their respective singers.
| SNo. | Song Title | Singer/s |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | O… kuchh chhup chhup ke aate hai | Asha Bhonsle |
| 02 | Aa… arey masti… masti kahaan hai mastaana aa gaya hai | Manna Dey |
| 03 | Ye zindagi chaman hai | Yesudas, chorus |
| 04 | Gir ke sambhalte hain ham | Kishore Kumar |
| 05 | Ik to main jawaan us pe tu yahaan | Asha Bhonsle |
| 06 | Mehboob ki mehbooba ko lalkaaro nahin | T. Meena |
Today we present a song sung by Yesudas from this movie. I became aware of this song more than one decade later when I got to listen to it on radio.
I have not watched this movie ‘Qismat’ and also not aware of how it did fare at the box office then.
A partial video of the tsong is available where we can see Mithun Chakravarty lip-syncing this song and trying to console and motivate Ranjeeta on the screen.
Lyrics for the song are by Amit Khanna. Music is composed by Bappi Lahiri. This must be one of the best songs that Bappi Da has composed in the decade of 1971-1980.
Let us now listen to the song…

Amol Palekar has mostly been identified with some of his ‘boy-next-door’ type of roles in Hindi films like ‘Rajnigandha’ (1974), ’Chhoti Si Baat’ (1976) ‘Chitchor’ (1976) ‘Gharonda’ (1977) ‘Golmaal’ (1979), Baaton Baaton Mein’ (1979) etc. In some of his interviews, he always claimed that he became the actor by accident, the producer by compulsion, the director by choice and artist (painter) by nature. Before debuting as an actor in Hindi films, Amol Palekar was deeply involved with experimental Marathi and Hindi theatres, both as an actor and a director. Even after his popularity as an actor had soared, he continued to get involved in the experimental theatres.
With the trait of experimentation in his DNA, Amol Palekar debuted in the film direction with his Marathi film, ‘Akriet’ (1981 – English title: Unimaginable). This was the first Marathi film to win a Special Jury Award at Nantes Film Festival in France. He debuted in Hindi film as a director in ‘Ankahee’ (1985, English title: Unspoken), followed by ‘Thhoda Sa Roomaani Ho Jaaye’ (1990). He has so far directed about 15 films in Hindi, Marathi, and English. All the films which he has directed so far are away from mainstream commercial films. Almost all his films have one common theme, women emancipation.
‘Daayra’ (1996, English title: The Square Circle) was Amol Palekar’s third film as a director which explored the wider gamut of companionship beyond man-woman relationship. The film’s story was written by Novelist, Timeri Murari who also wrote screenplay and co-produced the film with Parvesh Sippy. The story is mainly focused around a relationship between a transvestite man who moves in the public wearing women’s dress and a kidnapped girl who after escaping from the kidnappers, wears man’s dress to feel safe in the public.
Amol Palekar wanted an actor to look like a macho man and not an effeminate for the role of transvestite. The main roles were first offered to Milind Soman and Madhu Sapre who after some hesitation, declined to work in the film. Finally, a friend from the theatre suggested Nirmal Pandey’s name who readily agreed to do the role. Sonali Kulkarni who was still in the college at that time was selected for the girl’s role. The film was extensively shot outdoor in the tribal belt of Odisha.
The film faced problems with the Indian Censor Board which gave it ‘A certificate with some cuts in the scenes and dialogues. Amol Palekar had no problem with ‘A’ Certificate but refused to cut any scenes or dialogues from the film. So, the film did not get Censor Certificate and hence did not get released in India in the theatres or through DVD format. The film was, however, premiered at Toronto Film Festival on September 12, 1996 and subsequently screened at London Film Festival on June 13, 1997 and in France on July 9, 1997. About two years later, the film was released in the theatres in the UK, France, United States, Canada, Australia without songs. The film ran for 8 weeks at the West End theatre, London. The film’s DVD was released in the UK and elsewhere (except India) in February 2015.
‘Daayra’ (1996) received the Special Jury Award at the 44th National Film Awards (1996) for sensitive handling of a challenging theme concerning the neglected and marginalized section of the society. At the Festival de Valenciennes in France, the Grand Prix Jury jointly awarded the Best actor and actress Award to Sonali Kulkarni and Nirmal Pandey, respectively. ‘Time’ magazine called ‘The Square Circle’ (Daayra) one of the best 10 films of 1997.
It is very unfortunate that ‘Daayra’ (1996) which has been critically acclaimed both in India and abroad, did not get released in India.
The film’s synopsis which I have culled out from a website on Timeri Murari, the story and screenplay writer and the co-producer of the film, is reproduced below (with my additions in parenthesis):
An innocent village girl (Sonali Kulkarni), on the eve of her marriage, finds her whole secure life shattered by an unexpected event (she is kidnapped to be sold in brothel). She finds herself far from home, facing an alien, predatory world, with no experience of dealing with it. Only through good fortune, after a brutalising experience, a reluctant stranger (Nirmal Pandey) befriends her. He is a Transvestite, a wise, witty character on a journey of his own. He’s an entertainer (as a female folk singer and a dancer), earning a living from his performances in villages and on the roadside. She forces him to help her get home. In order to ensure she makes the journey safely and without further harm befalling her, he disguises her as a Man.
They start together on the road. The girl now acting the man, the man now a woman, on a journey, which neither knows where, or how it will end. Like a ‘La Starda’ (the Italian film released in 1954), this is the dramatic story of two people travelling along an endless road, all alone, beyond the boundary of ordinary society, outcasts, slowly coming to terms with each other and the world around them. He teaches her his craft and together they entertain the passing parade of people they come across. The film is also filled with the humour of their many experiences.
At the same time, for the girl, this is a journey of discovering the freedom of being a man in a male chauvinistic Indian society. Her suppressed spirit soars. She no longer has to behave as the servile, traditional woman. But they can’t deny their destinies of being a woman and a man who have gradually fallen in love with each other. So, towards the end of their journey, they revert to their sexual identities to fulfil this love. But a journey once begun can never end. Nor can the traveller return to be the person she/he once was. Her past won’t accept her (in the village) and her future is now irrevocably intertwined with her lover, the transvestite, come what may.
‘Daayra’ (1996) has 6 songs (including one multiple version song), all written by Gulzar and set to music by Anand-Milind. I am not a great admirer of Anand-Milind’s musical compositions. But in this film, his musical composition is outstanding. All the 5 songs are melodious with least ‘noises’ from the orchestrations. Gulzar’s lyrics are unusual. Unfortunately, with film remaining unreleased in India, all the songs have remained unknown to most of the people in India until 2015 when SAREGAMA released the songs in mp3 clips.
I am presenting the first song from the film, ‘palkon pe chalte chalte jab unghne lagti hain’ – a lullaby sung by Yesudas. There is also Asha Bhosle version of the song. In the absence any child actor in the film, I guess the lori is for each other – Sonali Kulkarni and Nirmal Pandey. I guess, both the versions of the lori may have been partly picturised in keeping with the trend in off-beat films.
It is a beautiful lori with unusual lyrics penned by Gulzar. The musical prelude and interludes are equally pleasing to the ears.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————
(Birth Anniversary – Maya Govind – A tribute)
Today 17th January’2023 is the eighty-third birth anniversary of poet lyricist Maya Govind.
She was born on 17th January’1940 and she passed away last year on 06th April’2022 at the age of eighty-two.
I had in my earlier post last year mentioned about her in detail. This post had come in the month of February’2022 last year. Two months later, we had the news of her sad demise.
Today as we pay our tributes to her. I am reproducing the same text here which is about her biographical details and journey into films.
Maya Govind is said to have challenged the male dominance in the lyrics writing in movies and had established a distinguished place for her in lyrics writing in Hindi movies.
Maya Govind was born on 17th January’1940 in Lucknow. Her father (Harnath Vahal) was a cloth merchant in Lucknow. Maya Govind and her two younger sisters were the three siblings When Maya Govind was still a child her father lost his eyesight. His wife – Maya Govind’s mother – was a housewife, and all his children were small kids. So, all his shops and slowly his house too was taken over by his relatives. That forced her mother to take shelter in a rented house.
When Maya Govind was only five years old, she lost her father which left the family in bad economic condition. In this situation her maternal uncle helped them to survive and to get education to the children. Maya Govind was the eldest among the three sisters. She completed her B.A. and B’ Ed.
Maya Govind got married while she was in her first year of B’ Ed. However, her marriage didn’t last long, and she returned to her mother within three months of her marriage. She continued doing B’ Ed and joined a four-year course in ‘Bhatkhande Sangeet Vidyalaya’. She also learned ‘Kathhak’ from Shambhu Maharaj. She did plays for Radio in Lucknow. Later she started teaching at Bal Vidya Mandir Lucknow. During this she keep doing acting in plays and joined the famous stage artist Kunwar Kalyan Singh.
She had been writing poetry since she was eleven years old. Once when Bharat Bhushan and his brother producer Ramesh Chandra (better known as R. Chandra) spotted her during their visit to her school and impressed by her poetry R. Chandra asked her to visit Bombay. That was in 1966.
R. Chandra offered her three movies to write lyrics for (these were ‘Mushaira’, ‘Megh Malhar’, and ‘Baap Bete’). She wrote eleven songs for ‘Mushaira’ and returned to Lucknow. Suddenly R. Chandra died in between, and only two songs were recorded then under the baton of Music Director Khayyam. (Later R. Chandra’s son Rakesh Chandra included these two songs in the movie ‘Muthhi Bhar Chawal’ in ‘1975’.)In 1965-66 Govind Arora (alias Ram Govind)- a famous writer and stage personality – came to Lucknow from Samastipur, Bihar to look artistes for his plays. Maya Govind was offered the lead role. During this association they become close friends and got married in 1967. Ram Govind too got settled in Lucknow. Both founded the ‘Darpan Naatya Sanstha’ in Lucknow.
In 1972 Maya Govind came to Bombay to participate in a ‘Kavi Sammelan’ where one among the audience was the famous producer director Ramanand Sagar. Impressed by her poetry he signed Maya Govind for lyrics writing for his movie ‘Jalte Badan’ which was released in 1973. In this movie she wrote all the lyrics for all the four songs in the movie. Around the same time, she came into contact with Guru Dutt’s brother Atmaram who was making the movie ‘Aarop-1974’ then. He offered her lyrics writing for this movie. Music for this movie was composed by the legendary Bhupen Hazarika. The song ‘nainon mein darpan hai’ got popular from this movie.
During this time famous producer Tarachand Badjatya recorded three poems of Maya Govind for a private album. Tarachand Badjatya also offered her to perform in his movie titled ‘Kavi Sammelan-1972’.
In 1988 Maya Govind set up her own production house- ‘Bahar Productions’ which produced ‘Tohfa Mohabbat ka’ which was not a commercial success and later she launched movie ‘Taandav’ which was shelved after shooting of 13 reels due to financial problems. Her recent movie as lyricist was ‘Baazar-E-Husn’ under Khayyam Saab.
Today as a tribute to Maya Govind we are going to listen to a beautiful song written by her from the movie ‘Baawri-1982’.
“Baawri-1982” was directed by A.C. Trilokchander for ‘G.G.K. Enterprises’. It was produced by G. Gopalkrishnan.
‘Baawri’ had the star cast of Raeksh Roshan, Jayaprada (in title role), Dr. Shreeram Lagoo, Nirupa Roy, Asrani, Seema Deo, Kamal Deep, Sunil Dhawan, P. Joshi, A. Shakuntala, Yogeeta Bali and others.
This movie introduced Vikrant Dutt.
‘Baawri’ has six songs written by Maya Govind and they were composed by Khayyam Saab.
Maya Govind and Khayyam had collaborated in the following films.
| 1. | Mutthi Bhar Chawal(1975) | 02 songs |
| 2. | Baawri(1982 ) | 06 songs |
| 3. | Razia Sultan(1983 ) | 01 song |
| 4. | Banaras-1918 A Love Story(2006) | 01 song |
| 5. | Yaatra-The Journey(2006) | 01 song |
Not many songs. I wish they could have collaborated more so that we would have got many memorable songs to cherish.
Today’s song from ‘Baawri-1982’ is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Yesudas. It is a very nice song with equally beautiful poetry, singing and composition. I like this song very much.
Lyrics for this song were sent by Prakashchandra.
Earlier one song from this movie has been posted on the blog long back in 2012. This song also is another wonderful divine composition by Khayyam Saab with pure verses by Maya Govind.
Let us listen to today’s song and pay our tributes to Maya Govind. This song is performed on screen by Rakesh Roshan and Jayaprada having some illuminating locations and illuminating performance (?) 🙂

ek seepi mein chhup gayaa aa moti
jaane kab os mein nahaate huye ae ae
toone khushiyon se bhar diya aangan
toone khushiyon se bhar diya aangan
teri ye baat raagini si hai
tere nainon se raushni si hai
har janam mein rahegaa saath teraa
ae meri Sitaa meri Saavitri ee
naam teraa main mantra kar loongaa
Gaayatri Gaayatri hi Gaayatri ee ee
teri baahon mein jo ye dam nikley ae
teri baahon mein jo ye dam nikley ae
maut bhi meri zindagi si hai
maut bhi meri zindagi si hai
chandramaa nikley ab yaa naa aa nikley ae
ab charaagon ka koyi kaam nahin ee
tere chehre se chaandni si hai
tere nainon se raushni si hai
O saathhi preet ki reet nibhaana

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1977)
——————————————-——————————
(Birthday of Singer-Yesudas)
Today 10th January’2023 is the eighty-third birthday of Singer K.J. Yesudas(born on 10th January’1940).
On this occasion we wish him a ‘very happy birthday’ and also wish him a healthy and peaceful life ahead.
Yesudas’s voice is one of the voices which bring back many memories for me and it is a part of the nostalgia of my growing years. There are so many of his songs which have become a part of our life. Listening to them time to time serves as a great source of solace as well as enjoyment.
I have already written a detailed post about his songs and the memory of those songs here on the blog earlier. So I am not going to repeat the same again here in today’s post.
Today on the occasion of his birthday I present a lesser heard song from the ‘seventies’. This is from the movie ‘Do Chehare-1977’.
“Do Chehare-1977” was directed by Kewal Mishra for ‘Ratan Productions’.
It was produced by Ratan Kumar.
It had Virendra (Debutant), Aruna Irani, Ramesh Deo, Padma Khanna, Ram Mohan, Durga Khote, Sundar, Shekhar Purohit, Feroz Irani, Minu Kwalin, Geeta Kaushal, Master Ravi, Master Maruti, Master Raju Mansingh, Shriram Shastri and Murad, and others.
Dharmendra had a special appearance in this movie, while Premnath, Bindu and Mahipal had a friendly appearance in this movie.
Ratan Kumar who is the producer of this movie also wrote the story and scenario of this movie. Screenplay of this movie was written by Jaggi Rampal and also co-authored by Ratan Kumar. Jaggi Rampal also wrote the dialogues of this movie. Editing of this film was done by Shivaji Awadhut.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 20.09.1977.
This movie has six songs all of them written by Bharat Vyas. Music of this movie was composed by Sonik-Omi.
Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Manna Dey, Usha Mangeshkar, Minu Purushottam, Hemlata and Yesudas had given their voices to the songs of this movie.
We will soon be visiting another song from this movie, so I am not giving here the list of songs from this movie today.
Now we will come back to today’s beautiful song sung by Yesudas. On the screen it is Mahipal lip-syncing the song shown in the backdrop of two lovers Aruna Irani and Virendra romancing around beautiful locations.
Also seen in the picturisation of this song are some child artists with Mahipal singing around and Durga Khote and Ramesh Deo in a scene indoors.
Let us wish Yesudas a very happy birthday once again and listen to this song in his divine voice…
(Note: – The voice of Yesudas featured in the following songs in the annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala of 1977’.
1) At no. 7 – ‘Jab deep jaley aana – with Hemlata from ‘Chitchor’
2) At no.15- ‘aaj se pehle aaj se zyaada’ – from ‘Chitchor’ again )

Hullo Atuldom
KJ Yesudas – the bridge between South Indian and North Indian songs. Classical – both Carnatic and Hindustani, Light Music, Bhajan, and film music have been enriched by this maestro who turns a year older, today the 10th of January. Some people are omnipresent in our lives – Yesudas is one of them. We have grown up hearing him sing “Gori Tera Gaaon Bada Pyaara“, “Kaa Karoon Sajani Aaye Na Baalam“, “Dil Ke Tukde Tukde Karke Muskura Ke Chal Diye“, “Koi Gaata Main So Jaata” and numerous other songs. And for his fans who also understand other languages “Mayechi Sauli” from ‘Nanand Bhavajay’ (1991), and a few songs in Bengali, Oriya, and a few international languages too. I am not listing his songs from South Indian films that will be on the personal playlists of his fans.
I cannot forget that it was Yesudas’s voice that made me (a certified Bollywood addict) appreciate some Krishna bhajans “Krishna Ne Begane Baaro” (for one) and the lori (lullaby) that is played in the Sabarimala Temple before the temple closes for the day “Harivarasanam” (a video that was uploaded five years back) (original recording). I am sure there will be followers of the blog who will be able to give us a list of their favourite bhajans that were rendered by the legend KJ Yesudas.
In my honest opinion he is a fit recipient of the Padma Awards- Padma Shri in 1975, Padma Bhushan in 2002, and Padma Vibhushan in 2017. Additionally he has won eight National awards for Best singer and numerous State Awards and Filmfare Awards. It is a measure of his stature that Swaralaya award for music artistes in recognition of their outstanding performance is named ‘Swaralaya Yesudas Award”- this award is instituted by a Kerala entertainment channel and Swaralaya an organisation that promotes music. I can go on and on about all the awards that he has been bestowed upon.
As I set out to write this post I had a feeling that we may have run out songs by Dasettan (as he is addressed by his Malayalee fans) I find that we have only 62 songs from Hindi films on the blog, so that means we have a long way to go.
Today we are going to hear a song from ‘Maha Shaktimaan’ (1985). I don’t recall anything about this movie even if it is a release of the ’80s, other than the ‘non-ear non-eye’ friendly Asha Bhonsle song ‘Mamalu Mamalu’ (this also I recalled when I googled for songs of this film). But thankfully there is a better song in this movie which is sung by Kavitha Krishnamurthy and Yesudas, a song which has Yesudas’s trademark classical touch to it. The music director for this movie is Bappi Lahiri and Indeevar was the lyricist. The movie seems to have had only three songs and cast that had Meenakshi Sheshadri, Raj Babbar, Kim, Danny, Pradeep Kumar, Urmila Bhatt, Karan Shah, Jaya Malini etc. From the poster in the video of the accompanying song it appears like a dance of Raj Babbar and Meenakshi, but since I didn’t find a video to go with it we cannot be sure.

Hullo Atuldom
Today’s post takes one more movie to YYIIPPEEEEHood.
“Khwaab” (1980) was a crime, court room drama genre movie with some romance and great songs thrown in for making it a complete entertainer. It had a cast of Ranjeeta, Yogita Bali, Mithun Chakraborty, Naseeruddin Shah, with Ashok Kumar, Madan Puri, Utpal Dutt leding the supporting cast which also had Chaman Puri, Birbal, Jagdish Raj, Sujit Kumar, Yunuz Parvez, Dinesh Thakur etc. It was directed by Shakti Samanta, had dialogues by Dr. Rahi Masoom Reza, songs were written and composed by Raindra Jain. Hemlata, Yesudas, Suresh Wadkar, Jaspal Singh and Mohd. Rafi were the playback singers.
The movie had four songs three of which are on the blog as follows:
| Song | Date of posting | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Tu hi wo haseen hai | 31 july 2015 | |
| Ek aas luye vishwaas liye | 20 July 2020 | |
| Ham khwaab ko badal denge haqeeqat mein | 22 September 2020 | a very good post by Nahmji where she spoke about the usage of the English alphabet ‘K’ in Indian languages |
Today’s song is an ‘outdoors song’ possibly inspired by the “jootaa hai japani” song from “Shri 420” (1955). We see Mithun walking, singing and dancing his way to Bombay (as it used to be called back then) and Raj Kapoor’s potli on a stick is replaced by a suitcase. On the way he sees Ranjeeta zipping past in an open Red car complete with sunglasses and Red Hat etc. These aspects -the open car had to be Red and two seater; the driver dressed smartly and slightly haughty- were mandatory to establish character-traits. And by the time the song comes to a close Mithun sees that Ranjeeta’s car has stalled- another mandatory. 🙂 The singer is K J Yesudas.
We are having this song to Wish Mithunda a very Happy birthday- may the song and dance and entertainment continue forever.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # 119 #
——————————————-——
Today’s song is from an unreleased movie ‘Jai Jawaan Jai Kisaan’.
The slogan reminds us of our beloved Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri whose life has been an inspiration for many. He had given this slogan during the Indo-Pak war in 1965. This slogan has been popular since then. This Indo-Pak war incidentally ended on 10th January’1966 with the ‘Tashkent Agreement’ (in USSR).
Coming back to today’s movie HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) mentions ‘Jai Jawaan Jai Kisaan’ in the Appendix-I, which have the list of movies which were possibly made during the decade of 1971 to 1980.
However, this movie also seems to be an obscure movie as very less details about this movie are available in HFGK.
‘Jai Jawaan Jai Kisaan’ was a ‘Narayan Pictures, Madras’ presentation. No details about its cast and director are available.
HFGK lists two songs from this movie written by Qamar Sayeed which were composed to music by A.A. Raj. P.B. Shriniwas, S. Janaki and Yesudas were the singers giving playback in the above movie.
Today’s song is sung by Yesudas who celebrates his eighty-first birth anniversary today (born on 10th January’1940).
We wish him a very happy birthday and a healthy and peaceful life ahead.
I came across this song during the preparation of my earlier article on Yesudas on the blog in 2019.
I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light about this movie and its songs as possible.
Till then let us enjoy the today’s less heard (or never heard) song sung by Yesudas.
The song is quite nice and hummable.
With this song ‘Jai Jawaan Jai Kisaan’ (UR) (1971) makes its debut on the blog.
Song-Dilruba kya hua mujhe ye bata (Jai Jawaan Jai Kisaan)(1971)(UR) Singer-Yesudas, Lyrics-Qamar Sayeed, MD-A A Raj
Lyrics
hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm mm
hmm mm mm mm mm
dilrubaa
kyaa huaa
mujhe ae ye bataa
chaandni raat hai
suhaana aa samaa
meri zindagi mein
nayaa gul khilaa
dilrubaa
kyaa huaa
mujhe ae ye bataa aa
tere waaste
chaand taare lutaa doon
teri raah mein apni
aankhen bichhaa doon
zamaane ki tujhko
nazar lag na jaaye
tujhe apni baahon mein
aajaa chhupaa loon
yahi aarzoo jaan e jaan
sadaa muskuraa
meri zindagi mein
nayaa gul khilaa
dilrubaa
kyaa huaa
mujhe ae ye bataa aa
zaraa dekh le
beqaraaron ki duniya
badalne lagi
gham ke maaron ki duniya
mujhe aapne dil diyaa
bahot shukriyaa
meri zindagi mein
nayaa gul khilaa
dilrubaa
kyaa huaa
mujhe ye bataa aa
chaandni raat hai
suhaana samaa
meri zindagi mein
nayaa gul khilaa
dilrubaa
kyaa huaa
mujhe ye bataa aa

64th Birthday of Ranjeeta Kaur – 22.09.2020
———————————————————
I wish life could be just a song for the road just like this song on a motorcycle. A song heard in childhood, mainly on radio. In 1980 we had a T.V. at home, but that was only aired in the evening. The radio could be heard during the day also, but they were on air for specific hours only, be it “vividh bharati” or “All india Radio”, of which urdu service was the one for film songs. All these years the lyrics of the song complete with the first stanza have stayed in the memory. After the advent of youtube, I may have looked up this song too alongwith many other old songs.
I have seen quite a few films of Ranjeeta while she was active in the 80’s, as I and my mother used to like her innocent, homely looks. Many of these films were B grade low-budget films like ‘Qismat”, “Tarana” and ‘Khwaab” to name a few. She was paired with Mithun Chakrovorty in these films. I was under the impression that “Ankhiyon ke jharoke se”(1978) was a debut film for her, whereas she had appeared in the hit film “Laila Majnu” in 1976, opposite Rishi Kapoor. Both these are notable films of her career. But there after she appeared in few A grade films in bit roles like ‘‘Rajput”, “Satte Pe Satta” and “Krodhi”. Films like “Ham se Badhkar kaun”, “Aap to aise na the”, “Ustadi Ustad se” and “Tarana” are all seen and forgotten films.
As Ranjeeta Kaur turns 64 today, I am presenting this happy romantic song where she is singing this duet on motorcycle and the beach. The name of the film is “Khwaab”(1980) and singers are Hemlata and Yasudas. The lyricist and music director is Ravindra Jain.
Two songs from the film are posted.
Tu hi wo haseen hai
Ek aas liye vishwaas liye
“Khwaab” is one of its kind title as I could find no other film with the title as ‘Khwab” or ‘Khwaab”. The word means dream, and this year 2020 is turning out like a bad dream. I am sure all of us have had this feeling that we are asleep and embroiled in a bad dream, and hope fervently that we will wake up soon and this whole tragic crisis will disappear. Hope that it will dissolve like a bad dream, is soon forgotten.
Let us go to the song, which I would have categorized as a “in the family way songs” seeing the words of first stanza, but this one is not such a song. I have a few songs for this category in mind. Let us see when I get around to those songs. They are mostly 80’s/90’s songs, so this can be a precursor to that series.
This song starts with the urdu alphabet ‘khai’ making it one of rare songs for ‘antakshari” 🙂 . Only other song I can remember is “khwaab ho tum ya koyi haqeeqat kaun ho tum batlaao……..”. Not that most people bother with the fine distinction between the ‘kh’ of “khilauna” and ‘kh’ of ‘Khwaab’. I can wish all I want for a way of distinguishing it in the English script, with a dot or some such thing. Rekhta.com has adopted an entirely different way of spelling the urdu /hindi words in English script, which is rather complicated even for someone like me. Urdu is a language with fewest dictionary words. Sometimes the same word is used for different meanings in different situation. One example is the word “taarikh” which means “date” and history, but not inclusive. Then there is the confusion with ‘q’ and ‘k’.
Common words where K is correct are :
Mushkil – difficulty
Ashk – tear (aansoo)
Rashk – envy
Shak – doubt
Kalaam – spoken word or talk
Shikwa – grievance
Shikayat – complaint
Shaukat – power or dignity
Q is appropriate here :
Qalam – pen
Ishq – love
Raqs – dance
Qalb – heart
Sadaqah – charity (sort of)
Beqaraar – restless, disturbed
Shauq – deep interest, zeal
Qataar – line, queue or array
Iqraar – acceptance or agree, promise
And there is added complication of words where ‘Q’ is compulsorily written as ‘que’ as it is done in ‘Ishque’ or ‘aashiqui’ or some names such as siddique and taarique. I have not gotten to two different alphabet with different sounds for whom the alphabet ‘t’ is used. The ‘t’ of ‘taara’ is different from the ‘t’ of ‘totaa’. There is confusion galore for the untutored. So we let it be, the ‘no pain no gain’ school of thought be brushed under the carpet 🙂 .
Now that I have heard the song two three times, I have realized that it remained in the memory because of its very sweet and melodious sound. It is memorable for the lyrics as well as tune and the singing of both Hemlata and Yasudas.

Hindi Songs in Malayalam Films – 1
———————————————–
Hullo Atuldom
Today’s post is thanks to my husband who brought a few things to my notice. We were seeing some movie on a Malayalam channel and we realized that they had lined up a few movies that star Mohanlal – one of the super-actors that every Malayali is a fan of; the other being Mammooty. And I proudly call myself a Malayali when I am seeing any movie that stars one of the two. I am an equal fan of both. The two have been around since the 70s and have been all-round entertainers.
Today we shall be focusing on Mohanlal Viswanathan who is mononymously credited as Mohanlal in the movies and is fondly addressed as Lalettan by his close associates and fans. (Ettan is the way an elder brother is addressed in Malayalam.) He made his debut as a teenager in 1978 but that movie had its theatrical release only 2005. His screen debut was in the 1980 release “Manjil Virinja Pookal” (roughly translating as “Flowers that bloom in the snow”) where he played a negative character. The films that followed saw him play antagonistic characters and gradually rising to supporting roles. He had worked himself to the level of being a bankable actor by the mid-80s and gained stardom after starring in a series of successful movies.
Late 80s, 1988 to be precise was the year that I took to seeing Malayalam movies and possibly the first Mohanlal movie that I saw was “Ente Mamattikkuttiammakku” (translating as “For my Mamattikkuttiamma”) Mamattikkutti being a kind of pet name for small kids. This was a 1983 release, that I saw in the open-air theatre (another first experience for me, seeing movies in an open-air theatre) of the colony we were staying in then. That movie had Mohanlal in a supporting role too. I have seen him in his comic element in many movies since then and must say every time I like him more.
1997 saw Lalettan star in his first non-Malayalam film “Iruvar”-a Tamil film which was directed by Mani Ratnam. 2002 saw him play Sreenivasan – a Mumbai Police officer in the Ram Gopal Verma directed, Ajay Devgan- Vivek Oberoi- Manisha Koirala starrer “Company”. Lalettan’s performance was well-recieved by the Hindi speaking audience. 2007 August saw him in his next Hindi movie, also directed by Ram Gopal Verma, “Aag” (also called “Ram Gopal Verma ki Aag”) touted as the remake of the Bollywood classic “Sholay” where he re-apprised the role played by Sanjeev Kumar in the original. I don’t think he has made an appearance in any Hindi movie since, but his Telugu debut movie “Janatha Garage” is seen often on the various satellite channels in its dubbed Hindi version.
Reader’s Digest India has, in 2004, described him as a “Jack of all Trades and master of many”. His directors describe him as “one of the finest actors of the country who can slip easily into any role.” 2010 saw him play Major Mahadevan in “Kandahar”, the third of the Major Mahadevan Series of films which also happened to be Amitabh Bachchan’s Malayalam debut.
Many of his movies have been remade in Hindi; for example Akshay Kumar starrer “Khatta Meetha” (2010) was a remake of Mohanlal’s 1988 release “Vellanakalude Nadu” (translated as “The land of white elephants”); Akshaye Khanna- Paresh Rawal starrer “Hungama” (2003) was a remake of the 1984 “Poochhakkoru Mookkuthi” (A Nose-ring for the cat). Even “Bhool Bhulaiya” starring Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan was a remake of Mohanlal’s 1993 ‘Manichitrathazhu” (the ornate lock). Mohanlal’s 1988 “Chitram” (translation: Picture) was remade as “Pyar Hua Chori Chori” starring Mithun Chakravarty and Gautami (of south). I can think of a few more remakes, an interesting point to note here is that Lalettan didn’t star in any of the Hindi remakes of his successful originals.
So we have two films of Mohanlal to choose from, with which he can make his debut on our blog. But I am presenting a Malayalam movie instead. Much before his foray into Bollywood he had lip synced to a song in Hindi written by Madhu and composed by Raveendran which had the legend K J Yesudas as the playback. Now, we on this blog don’t need any introduction to K J Yesudas. But Madhavan Raveendran (or Raveendran master as he was called) is a new name for us. He was a popular music composer in Tamil and Malayalam films. The only bit of information that I could gather about the lyrics writer is that the movie credit shows his name as Mohan (Bihar) which means that he may have been from Bihar.
Today we shall have a song from the 1990 release “His Highness Abdullah”. This was the debut production of Mohanlal’s company ‘Pranavam Arts’ and was directed by Sibi Malayil (another new name for us). Will just say that Sibi Malayil is a director of many well-received movies in Malayalam. This movie had six songs of which one was a qawwali in Hindi as the character played by Lalettan is shown to be a Muslim Qawwali singer in Bombay (Mumbai). It shows Kim (of “Disco Dancer” fame) dancing to Lal’s singing. Mamukkoya the actor know for playing comic characters brings in Sreenivasan (another of the many versatile actors of Malayalam cinema) in the second stanza of the song to introduce him to the singer.
I am sure the regular followers of the blog would have guessed my sudden deviation into the Malayalam film world as also why the focus is on Mohanlal a.k.a Lalettan. Well today is an important date in his life. He turns 60. Let us wish him lots more years of entertaining us.
