Earlier in the morning today, I received an email.  Antaraa Mondal, film journalist and a good friend, sent me a link.  This link is for an interview of Majrooh Sultanpuri by Peeyush Sharma, originally recorded in 1993.  And republished today.  On the anniversary of his birth.  I read through the interview.  I find quite a bit of discussion of Majrooh Sb’s working with another stalwart, music director SD Burman.  Quite a coincidence that it is the birth anniversary of Burman Dada also today.

Today (1 october 2015) is the 109th birth anniversary of S D Burman (1 October 1906 – 31 October 1975). So it is our duty as a music blog to try and discuss a few songs composed by S D Burman on the occasion. Today is the 96th birth anniversary of Majrooh Sultanpuri (1 October 1919 – 24 May 2000) as well. We have discussed one song of each of them today. We will try to discuss more of their songs today including a song where the two collaborated together.

Today (1 october 2015) is the 96th birth anniversary of Majrooh Sultanpuri(1 October 1919 – 24 May 2000). He is easily the most prolific lyricist during the golden era of HFM before Anand Bakshi. Maintaining quality and quantity as well as great rapport with all music directors was the secret of his long and successful career.

Today (1 october 2015) is the 109th birth anniversary of S D Burman (1 October 1906 – 31 October 1975).

SD Burman was a well established and well respected music director by the time I became aware of his name (sometime in late 1960s). But like everyone else, he too made his debut sometime. It is difficult to imagine it today, but his earlier career was full of struggles and his career as a music director in Hindi movies was almost a non starter. He was given his initial breaks in 1940s by Sasadhar Mukherjee of Filmistan who signed him up for “Aath Din”(1946) and “Shikaari”(1946). The music of these two movies did not create much impression at that time. It was his next movie with Filmistan,namely “Do Bhai”(1947) that helped SD Burman get some foothold in the industry. He kept scoring music for the subsequent movies of Filmistan.

Missing Films of 1960s – 1
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Let me explain the title and the intent of this new series.  This series is an outcome of the project that our dear Katie Ben from ‘saat samundar paar se’ has undertaken, after she got hold of the Geet Kosh volumes.  She zeroed in on volume 4, and she set about identifying all the films of the 1960s, that have yet to find a representation on the blog.  Specifically, the period covered is 1961 to 1970.  So she has very zealously pored through the fourth volume, page by page, film by film, and simultaneously kept on checking with the data on the blog.  The outcome of her effort is summarized as follows.

Genius of Jaidev – 28
—————————-

There is a controversy, nicely explained by Sudhirbhai, that the abridged version of the 1957 film ‘Anjali’ has surfaced on Internet titled as ‘Arpan’. This version is only one hour long and all but one of the beautiful ten songs of the original film are ruthlessly ‘butchered’’ from this abridged version. I am sure the person with the pair of scissors must not be bestowed with appreciation for GOOD music. My ‘bud-duaa’ will haunt him even in hell, where he is a permanent resident now.
