Subir Sen, the composer is himself an accomplished singer. This is a different style of composition. A very delicate fashion, of the tune returning to the mukhda in each stanza/antara. Very delicately done, almost like a breeze, and Rafi Sahab is the master, I think it was very easy for him. Having been singing for S. D. Burman for decades by 1972. One wonders if Subir Sen was testing Rafi Sahab if he could do this. One more thing I have noticed that each time the mukhda lines are repeated, the subtle changes in the lines repeating. There is a slight variation even at the end, when whole mukhda is repeated. Almost imperceptible. And again, the end of the song with final line.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
—————————————————————————

Today 24th October 2025 is the fourteenth remembrance day of the legendary singer Manna Dey ( Real name Prabodh Chandra Dey). He was born on 01.05.1919 and he passed away on 24.10.2013.

Music lovers here are already aware about him and much has already been written about his greatness and versatility as a singer, so I am not going to repeat it all here again. But I would definitely like to mention here that I am a big fan of his singing and I have always enjoyed and cherished listening to the songs sung by Manna Dey, whichever genre they are from – classical, semi-classical, sugam sangeet or qawwaalees etc. He has also sung many songs which fall under the category of philosophical songs and ‘songs with a message’.

Today I am presenting one such rare song here. This song is a rare song because it is from an un-released movie of the seventies. I don’t know how many of us have listened to this song. I came across this song around two-three years back and I had mentioned this while presenting another song from this same un-released movie here on the blog earlier.

Today’s song is from the film Shahnaaz-1948.

This film was directed by a Comedian- Shaikh and the music was by Singer/Actress Amirbai Karnataki. The cast of the film was Begum Para, Altaf, Nihal, Shanta Patel, Gulnar, Shama Dulari, Basheer , Shaikh and others. Most of the cast, except Begum Para and Altaf, was from C grade action films.

One of the interesting riddles the new “Old Film” lovers chew with interest is, who was the first woman Music Director in Hindi films. Time and again it has been proven, told, written and accepted that Bibbo aka Isharat Sultana was the First woman M.D., but still it is raised every now and then and the debate continues unabated.

Today’s song is the last song from the film Guru Ghantal-1956.

We got Independence in 1947 and the most delighted industry in India was the Film Industry. The reasons were simple.

Some reasons were….
1. Unjustified restrictions on the storylines were now removed.
2. Stories and songs would be free from any constraints.
3. Raw Film prices would be controlled and its availability assured.
4. No force on making ‘ War Effort’ (propaganda) films anymore.
5. An Independent union of filmmakers, without Government intervention was now possible.
6. More facilities for the industry could be expected. etc etc.

#the Decade of 2001-2010 #
———————————————————————

Regulars on this blog are familiar about the common interests of the team of this blog. First, it is songs and movies of course, one is cricket and the other most important is Railway or train or Indian Railways specifically. Everybody has a big admiration for the railway services and the efforts they put day in – day out to keep this country ‘moving’. Train travel is the safest and cheap (too) journey for the common citizens of this country as it has been for the last many many years. Then there is the ‘nostalgia’ people have for their life’s years associated of travelling to various places by train. People migrating to far away places from their hometown or staying far from their families for earnings always have many memories associated with train travel of reaching homes when everybody is waiting for them. When one travels in train he gets to have interaction with people from different parts of the country and some of them become friends during the travel and thus one gets to about diverse cultures too. The many journeys also teach one a lot and also tell us about the uncertainties in life and how life has been to the so many others than one self. The ‘Indian Railways’ plays a big role in ‘national –integration’ and it is also source of inspiration for many people like me.

(Debutant Movie – Sandli-1985/1986)
———————————————————

Today’s song is from an obscure movie ‘Sandli-1985/1986’. I have no recollections of having read or being aware about a movie with this title. It was only because of HFGK Vol-VI (1981-1985) that I became aware of this movie. The name of singer Bhupinder Singh in the singer’s list for this movie piqued my interest to look for information and songs from this movie. However, it seems that no video of this movie is available and except one source (Bhupinder Singh topic & Myswar) I do not find the song links of this movie anywhere.

Mukesh and His Composers – 32

We continue the series with composer Vishnu Khanna. He seems to have composed music for only two films. Both these films have been introduced on the blog with one song each as follows.

  1. Poorab Chaloge Chaloongi, Paschim Chaloge Chaloongi – Patni (1970), a solo by Suman Kalayanpur which has been covered by Sudhir ji
  2. Kaisi Shaam Suhaani Aayi Re – Pasand Apni Apni (1972), a solo by Rafi saab covered by Satyajit Rajurkar ji

The composer continues to remain obscure. No information seems to be available on him other than what is already known.
