#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
(Yippeeee to ‘Bhool Na Jaanaa (Unreleased)-1970)
———————————————————

Today’s song is from an unreleased movie ‘Bhool Na Jaanaa-1970’. Music for this movie was composed by Daan Singh. In Geet Kosh the banner of this movie is mentioned as Integrity International. There is no information about the director of this movie or its cast. But luckily there is detailed information about its songs which is that this movie has seven songs. Geet Kosh leaves a space with dots assuming that there would have been more songs for this movie but which are not known and neither available I guess. This movie had made its debut on this blog on 24.09.2010 where in our editor Atul jee had posted the first song from this movie. Thereafter five more songs from this movie have been covered on this blog taking the tally of the songs of this movie to six. All the five posts after the debut post were presented by our Sudhir jee covering rare information about this movie and information about the composer -who remained an unsung hero in the history of Hindi Cinema.

Today’s song is from the film Pukar-1939.

The film was made by Minerva Movietone, Bombay. It was directed by the owner of the banner, Sohrab Modi himself. The lyricist was Syed Amir Hyder Kamaal Amrohi or simply Kamaal Amrohi, who became famous as a producer, director and a poet in later years. One of the points of his fame was that he had married Meena kumari. His surname was actually Naqvi which he never used and opted for highlighting his home town Amroha. he was also a screenplay writer, a Dialogue and storywriter. His famous films were Mahal-1949 and Pakeezah-1972. Meena Kumari- his 3rd wife died soon after the film Pakeezah was made. They had already separated in 1964 after 12 years of married life.

Today’s song is from a unique film- Love in Bombay-1975.

It is generally said that records are for breaking. It means, in any field, if a record of achievement is made, sometime or the other, that record is broken. Some records are such that one feels, ‘now this will never be broken. It is the ultimate’.

The song in this post is from the movie ‘Watan Se Door-1968’. I have never watched this movie and I guess that it is not available on any internet platform too. But I had presented a song from this movie earlier here on the blog. And how I remember this song and how I get to know which movie it was is a long story which I have mentioned in my post here on the blog with the song ‘kaisaa jaadoo daalaa maa banarasee roomaal waalaa’. This song was posted on the blog on 19.07.2015. Before that our Sudhir jee had presented two songs from this movie here on the blog as per following details.

1) mehfil mein naheen to dil mein sahee – 10.11.2011
2) pyaare pyaare tere andaaz ke qurbaan gaye – 19.11.2011

When I presented the first song from this movie I didn’t have the copy of Geet Kosh Vol-IV (1961-1970) with me and therefore I could not give the details of movie in that post. However our in-house encylopeadia Shree Arunkumar jee had given the story of this movie while commenting on the first post of Sudhir jee.

Today’s song is from a fantasy film Gul E Bakawali-1963.

Most Indians have two common traits. One, they are religious and two, they believe in magic. Therefore most of the children liked the stories in which there was fantasy and magic. Ofcourse, I am talking of older times. These days children’s likings have changed and they like to play with modern gadgets, rather than reading books.

When I was in school, there was great demand from students for books on Vedic stories, fantasy and fairy stories, especially the Arabian Night story books in our school library. Students had to put their names on a waiting list for such books, though the library had multiple copies of such books. Once the books were taken home, other members of the family also read them with great taste and nostalgia.

‘Pakhandee’ (1983) was produced by Robert D’Souza and was directed by Samir Ganguly. The cast included Shashi Kapoor, Sanjeev Kumar, Zeenat Aman, Asha Parekh, Ranjeet, Helen, Jagdeep, Asit Sen, Leela Mishra, Anwar Hussain, Kader Khan, N A Ansari, Dinesh Thakur, Sudhir etc. This was Samir Ganguly’s last film as a director.

Samir Ganguly was born in Lucknow in 1936. His father was working in the railway while his mother was a housewife. He was the youngest of the seven children. After the retirement of his father in 1947, Samir was looked after by his brother-in-law (his sister’s husband) in Jaipur who was financially well-off. After his brother-in-law’s retirement, Samir came to Mumbai in 1953 in search of employment during which he stayed with another brother-in-law, Subodh Mukerji who was the younger brother of Filmistan’s boss, Shashadhar Mukerji.

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-38)
—————————–

The ten-day long ‘Durgaa Poojaa’ Utsav is already underway all over our country. People are celebrating it with customary fervour and energy. This is also the time for staging of ‘Raam Leelaa’ in many parts of the country. I have fond memories of watching ‘Raam Leelaa’ during my childhood days. If I remember correctly the performing troup also used to add other incidences from mythology in between the episodes from Ramayana.

Today I am presenting a song which covers one such important incidence from Ramayana, that is Prabhu Ram, Seetaa Maiyya and Lakshman boarding the boat of Kevat to cross the river Gangaa. This song is from the movie ‘Shri Ram Bharat Milan-1965’. It was directed by Manibhai Vyas for R.M. Art Productions, Bombay.
