Today’s song is from a Mythological film – HariHar Bhakti-1956.
1956 was the Silver Jubilee year of Indian Talkie Films. This year, the most successful films were entertainers. There were of course some films carrying social messages. One of them was ‘Jaagte Raho’ (‘Ek Din Ratre’ in Bangla), which tried to bring out the upper middle class hypocrisy in a metro city like Bombay. Initially, the film did not make any ripples, but after it won International awards, it became very popular. (People of other nations have to tell us that our film is good !). A social message, excellent music and solid story – the hallmarks of an RK film were all there in it.

#The Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————————————
Today 20th August 2025 is the forty-first Remembrance anniversary of music director Avinash Vyas ((21 July 1912 – 20 August 1984). On this occasion I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Dashaavataar-1951’ where Avinash Vyas was the music director.
After getting associated with this blog I had got many opportunities to listen to and share the songs composed by Avinash Vyas ji. Though I was not aware of his great contribution towards Hindi Cinema and Gujarati Cinema and Non-Film music in Gujarati. In my childhood I must have watched many black & white Hindi movies where music was composed by Avinash Vyas, but I was unaware of this fact. However, the song ‘tere dwaar khadaa bhagwaan’ from ‘Waaman Avtaar-1955’ is my all-time favourite and I would also like to mention the songs from ‘Chakradhaari-1954’ which I watched during my stay at Nagpur (exactly nine years back around this time i.e. 15/16 August 2016) where I liked all the wonderful songs this movie has.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————
In this post I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Badmaash-1969’. This movie was introduced on this blog by our Shree Sudhir jee with its song ‘uthhaa palkein milaa nazren’ on the blog. This movie was then a ‘missing movie’ for the blog. I guess this movie was a very rare and obscure movie and it continues to remains so.
“Badmaash-1969” was a stunt movie which was directed by B.J. Patel for Saras Chitra, Bombay. It had Sheikh Mukhtar, Helen, Chandrashekhar, Padma, N.A. Ansari, Vishva Mehra, Dalda, Shashimala, Satyen Kapoor, Jilani, Chandrakala, Surya Kumar, Bhagwan, Rachna, Jayshree, Satish Vyas, Nawab, Jaswant, Ajit, Abdul Sattar, Nanak, Motu, Nandini Desai and others. This movie ‘Badmaash-1969’ has four songs composed by Avinash Vyas. Lyricist for all the four songs is Anjaan. The singers list mentioned in HFGK has Krishna Kalle and Mahendra Kapoor as singers for this movie. However for one song the singer’s name is not mentioned in HFGK.

Today’s song is from the film Taara-1949.
Made by New Bombay Theatres, Bombay, the film was directed by R.D.Parinja. He started his career as a Cinematographer in Bombay Talkies in its heyday.
He filmed Izzat, Prem kahani, Jeevan Prabhat,and Savitri-all 37 films, and then Kangan,Azaad,Jhoola, Bandhan,Naya sansar and Kismet.
When he was in Bombay Talkies, the German pair of Director Franz Osten and Cinematographer Joseph Wirsching were also there. He must have learnt a lot from them(or did he ?).

ye ilm kaa sauda, ye risaale, ye kitaaben
ek shaks ki yaadon ko bhulaane ke liye hain
—– Jaan Nisaar Akhtar
The meaning of the sher is that these exchange of knowledge, these journals, these books are meant to forget memories of a person. But I write this article for remembering today, Jaan Nisaar Akhtar on his 49th Remembrance Day. He was essentially a poet but circumstances forced him to write songs for films when an arrest warrant was issued against him in Bhopal being the follower of leftist ideology. He went underground eventually landing in Mumbai in 1949 leaving behind his wife and two small children. So, to manage the family, he started writing songs for Hindi films.
Syed Jaan Nisaar Hussain Rizvi (18/02/1914 – 19/08/1976), popularly known as Jaan Nissar Akhtar was born in Gwalior. His father, Muztar Khairabadi, a well-known Urdu poet was the Magistrate in the State of Gwalior. After completion of the matriculation from Gwalior, Jaan Nissar Akhtar joined Aligarh Muslim University and completed M.A. in Urdu. He returned to Gwalior and got a job as a lecturer in Victoria College. In 1943, he got married to Safia, sister of Urdu poet, Mazaj Lucknawi. In 1947, he shifted to Bhopal where he joined Hamidia College as Head of Urdu and Persian Department. In Bhopal, he joined the Progressive Writers’ Movement.

Today, August 19, 2025, is the 6th Remembrance Day of a ‘ruhaani‘ music director, Mohammed Zahoor Khayyam Hashmi (18/02/1927 – 19/08/2019), better known as Khayyam. His musical career can be divided into three parts. The first part (1948-67) was his struggling years during which he mostly got low budget films. In the second part (1967-74), he took sabbatical from the Hindi film industry and concentrated in composing non-film Hindi songs. In the last part of his musical career, (1974-2013) he rejoined his musical career in Hindi films during which he had a successful stint both financially and career-wise.
Khayyam was born in Rahon in Nawanshahr district (now Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar) of Punjab in a Muslim scholar’s family who loved poetry and music. There used to be a regular gathering in his father’s large library room to discuss poetry and music which included films as well as classical music. All the family members were highly educated. His father expected Khayyam to follow suit. But he was glued more to the gramophone record player listening to film songs than to his schoolbooks (akin to the addiction to smartphone among today’s school going children) as he wished to become an actor-singer like K L Saigal, his idol.

Today’s song is from a less known or rather unknown, obscure film- Mulaqat-1947.
This was one of the movies of 1947, which was made in great haste, adding only to the quantity of films. Actually the Music Director as well as the cast of the film was good, but somehow the film did not click.
This was a film with Muslim social background. The cast of the film was Naseem Banu, Prem Adib, Rama Shukla, Mumtaz Ali, Majid, Najma, Shah Nawaz and many others.

We in this blog have achieved several milestones, but this milestone is something in its own league. Today we are celebrating a humongous individual milestone. With this post, Lata Mangeshkar reaches 4000 songs as a playback singer in this blog !
More than one decade ago, She had touched 1000 songs in the blog as the blog itself touched 3000 songs. Imagine, today she alone touches 4000 songs in the blog.
I had run a series on Lata Mangeshkar’s songs (yearwise) in the blog. That series, which ran every monday for 63 weeks (viz for one year and three months). In that series we had an indepth look at the list of songs that Lata Mangeshkar had sung in Hindi movies.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
(Gulzar Saab’s 92nd Birthday 18th August 2025)
In this post I am presenting a song from a movie released in the year 1975. All songs of this movie have already been covered in the blog, which means the today’s song is an additional song which was not available at that time. This song was recorded, but it was not released on the records of this movie. This song was not picturised in the movie. Thanks to the fans of Pancham Da (and thanks a lot to Mili Bhattacharya jee, who had the recording (spool) of this song) and ‘Pancham Magic –Pune’ that this song is now available on internet for our listening pleasure. This song was released on internet on 27th June 2022.
This song was recorded for the movie ‘Khushboo-1975’. This movie was passed by the Censor Board on 08.05.1975. Which means this movie has already completed fifty years of its existence. This movie was directed by Gulzar Saab. He also wrote the dialogues, lyrics, and screenplay (shared with D.N. Mukherjee and Bhooshan Banmali).
