Today, September 18, 2025, is the 75th birthday of Shabana Azmi which is an important milestone in anyone’s life. I thought that on this occasion I should write an article on a film in which, in my view, Shabana Azmi has accepted a challenging role and has given a brilliant performance. The film I am covering in my article is ‘Morning Raaga’ (2004), a predominantly English language film in which Shabana Azmi’s role is that of a Carnatic vocalist.
‘Morning Raaga’ (2004) was produced by K Raghavendra Rao and was directed by Mahesh Dattani, a well-known personality in English theatre. The film was later dubbed in Telugu language with the title, ‘Raagam’ (2006). The cast included Shabana Azmi, Prakash Kovelamudi, Perizaad Zorabian, Lillete Dubey, Nasser, Ranjani Ramakrishnan, Vaishali Bisht, Shashi Sudigala, Sheela Naidu, Shaleen Sharma, Elahe Hiptoola etc. Prakash Kovelmudi is the son of Producer K Raghavendra Rao who is a producer-director, screenplay writer and an actor in his own right.

Hullo Atuldom
2025 marks the 51st year in the entertainment industry for Shabana Azmi, not counting films that she may have been associated with during her training at FTII. Her ‘Parinay’ released on 1st January 1974; her debut film Shyam Benegal’s “Ankur’ is also a 1974 film. The last film starring Shabana Azmi came in 2023, actually there were two ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ & ‘Ghoomer’- I have seen both and as usual Shabana Azmi (the actor) cannot be missed. There is an upcoming film ‘Lahore 1947’ set against the backdrop of partition of India.

In this post I am again presenting a lesser heard song which may well be considered a rare song. This song is in the voice of Kishore Kumar. The movie is ‘Raani Aur Jaani-1973’. This seems to be a very obscure movie of its time. Though this movie made its debut on the blog long back in the year 2009 the movie still remains un-Yippeeee’ed’ on the blog.
“Raani Aur Jaani-1973” was directed by K.S.R. Dass for ‘P.N.R. Pictures, Madras’.This stunt movie was passed by Censor Board on 08.11.1973. The cast of this movie had Anil Dhawan, Aruna Irani, Jyoti Lakshmi, Narendra Nath, Jagdeep, Sulochana, Ramaprabha, Brahm Bharadwaj, Shetty, Coca Cola, Shekhar, Swaraj, Prem Kumar, Master Ripal Sapru, Baby Dally, Baby Charulata and others. Bindu had a special appearance in this movie.
