So we are at it again. For the 161st time in the blog ! We arrive at post number 16100 in the blog with this writeup !

I have mentioned it in the past that we no longer look forward to these century posts with the same eagerness as in the past. This applies not only to blog centuries but also to the centuries of artists. At this moment, a good number of artists are into their ninetees. I propose to take them all up to their respective centuries after we are done with this blog century.

This post too takes up one such case. The artists in questions are Shankar Jaikishan. If some artists are in their 90s, then there is one set of artists who are in their 990s- 999 to be precise. This post sees them break into the four figure mark. We have had singers (four) and lyricists (three) who are in four figures in the blog. Shankar Jaikishan music director duo join them today and become the first music directors to reach 1000 songs in the blog.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 99
———————————————————————————–

This day ten years ago (viz 15 December 2010) was a wednesday, viz middle of the week. I was based at Nagpur. After initial struggle early in the year for settling down, I began to post songs at an average of 5 songs a day from
July 2010 onwards. Then there was a temporary slowdown in November 2010. I picked up pace again in december 2010. I notice that I had covered as many as seven songs on 15 december 2010. This was one of the seven occasions in the month when I posted as many as seven articles in a day. The first post appeared at 7:13 AM and the seventh at 9:27 AM. That is the kind of productivity I was capable of ten years ago. ! 🙂

Here is the list of the songs covered that day:-

Blog post number Song Movie Year Remarks
3346 Balam mohe chhedo naa Daasi 1944 6 songs covered out of 11
3347 Gaaye jaa geet milan ke tu apni lagan ke Melaa 1948 YIPPEED by now
3348 Dharak dharak tere bin mera jiyaraa Singaar 1949 YIPPEED by now
3349 dil ki duniyaa ujad gayi Shair 1949 YIPPEED by now

In about mid-1940s, there was a demand for dancers in Hindi films following the success of dancers like Azurie and Cuckoo. The demand for dancers can be gauged from the fact that during 1945-50, Cuckoo worked in about 75 films of which she did as many as 34 films in 1950 alone. This ‘demand-supply’ mismatch for dancers led to the entry of new dancers in the Hindi film industry such as Mohana, Helen, Sheila Vaz, Roopmala, Kanchanmala, Kumkum etc during the late 40s and early 50s. One of the lesser known dancers who made a entry into this category during this period was Heera Sawant.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # 116 #
——————————————

Regulars on the blog must have noticed that nowadays I ’am focusing on ‘one-song movie’ viz movies that are represented in the blog by just one song.
When I took this mission I mainly wanted to focus on movies from the ‘Melodious Decade’ or ‘the golden era’ years i.e. 1951-1960, and I will continue with it in the future as well.

However, the song I am going to present today is not from a movie of fifties (1951-1960), but it is from one of the movies of ‘seventies. This movie made its debut in the blog twelve years ago in 2008. After that there has been no activity in the blog as far as this movie is concerned.

Today, December 14, 2020 is the 86th birthday of Dadasaheb Phalke Award winner and Padma Bhushan Shyam Benegal who was born on December 14, 1934 in Hyderabad. He set a bench-mark for Hindi film industry by successfully making parallel films. His films became inspirations for some Hindi film producer-directors to venture into the ‘middle of the road’ films (a cross between mainstream and parallel films).

Today, December 13th 2020 is the 34th Remembrance Day of Smita Patil who today would have been 65 years of age, perhaps donning the hat of a director.

What an incredible filmy journey Smita Patil had in a short span of about 12 years! She acted in 70 Hindi films of which 18 films were new wave films. In addition, she acted in about a dozen non-Hindi new wave films. At the age of 23, she got her first National Award for the Best Actress for her role in ‘Bhumika’ (1977). After 3 years, she was bestowed with another National Award for the Best Actress in ‘Chakra’ (1980). At the age of 29, she was one of the juries in the Montreal International Film Festival (1984). At the age of 30, She got Padma Shri Award.
