Hullo Atuldom

21st December is the birthday of an actor who made his debut in films in 1986. Though the first film he signed was ‘Tan Badan’, first film for which he started shooting was ‘Love 86’ in June of 1985. ‘Ilzaam’ (release date 28th February 1986) & ‘Love 86’ (release date 14th February 1986) released before his firstsigned ‘Tan Badan’ (release date 25th April 1986).

He was born as the youngest of 5 children and was given the pet name ‘Chi-Chi’ (meaning little finger). His father was former actor Aroon (alias Arun Kumar Ahuja) and singer-actress Nirmala Devi was his mother. He belongs to an ethnically mixed family, as, through his father, his grandfather was Punjabi while his grandmother was Sindhi, but he himself identifies more with his Punjabi side. His paternal side ancestry can be traced to Gujranwala in undivided India & his maternal side had its roots in Varanasi, U.P.

There are some people, who are in our lives, not related to us by blood, but are a very important part of our daily lives. Whom we meet every day, they come and wish us in the morning, they serve us, do a job for us to make our life easier. Yet some form an affinity, a well-wishing, non-interfering, loyal, non-judgmental, they are a friend of the family. Your children, your neighbor’s family, your acquaintances, your relatives, family members in far off and nearby places, your colleagues, your business associates, or whomever you come in regular contact with, associate that person as your so and so.

‘Aurat Pair Kee Jootee Naheen Hai’ (1985) was produced by B K Adarsh and was directed by Prithviraj Chatterjee. The cast included Marc Zuber, Deepti Naval, Gulshan Grover, Sachin, Satyen Kappu, Anjali Sen, Goga Kapoor, Jagdeep, Brahm Bhardwaj, Shivraj, Dulari, Vikas Anand etc.

The VCD of the film is available on one of the video sharing platforms but with a poor quality of video. It is obvious from the title of the film that it is a feminist film. Before watching the film, I read the synopsis of the story which gave me an impression of tackling the feminist subject in an amateurish way. But a ghazal in the film forced me to watch the film. I am happy that despite a poor quality of video, I have watched the film in one sitting and felt satisfied the way the theme was handled in a matured way without the additional doses of songs and sub-plots. The story of the film was written by B K Adarsh and probably it was his first film (out of about 15 films he produced) which tackled an important social issue. Unfortunately, the film failed badly at the box office.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Bandish-1969’. It is a nice song lyrics wise as well as composition wise. However this song has been forgotten, which might be for various reasons viz. the movie not doing well or the movie itself getting forgotten and so few music lovers getting to listen to this song.

I had presented a song from this movie earlier, where I had mentioned that I was not aware of this song till 2018 when I presented a write-up on Singer Jaspal Singh on 02.04.2018.

This movie “Bandish-1969” was directed by Charandas Shokh for ‘J.J. Films, Bombay’. It had Sonia Sahni, Shailendra, Azra, Ulhas, Brahmachari, Shyam Kumar, Sarita Devi, S.K. Prem, Mirza Musharraf, Uma Dhawan, Sushma, Kundan, Dhanraj, Habib, Madhumati, Manmohan and others. This movie has six songs composed to music by Usha Khanna. Akmal Hyderabadi is the lyricist of the songs in this movie.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 78

The camaraderie and apnapan amongst the Atulites (as we contributors of song posts like to call ourselves) really makes me feel at home. It can be a simple thing as a Good Morning or Good Evening messages or even Birthday Wishes on the WhatsApp group or someone posting articles on old movies, songs or even the performers, or even a healthy discussion on any topic except religion and politics, one really feels comfortable and wanted. The group members also suggest songs for posting on the blog. Like this time I have received (upon my request) three rare/rarely heard songs of Asha Bhosle for my current series from a very knowledgeable and experienced friend, Raja Swaminathan Ji. I will be posting his suggestions one at a time.

I would like to Thank Raja Ji for suggesting these songs. So Raja Ji, this one is for you!!!

The first song which I am presenting is a rare/rarely heard song of Asha Bhosle “Babu Babu Dil Pe Nahi Kabu” from “Do Aankhein” (1974), written by Verma Malik and composed by Hansraj Behl.
