“Naujawaan”(1966) was directed by Chaand for S S Films, Bombay. This stunt film had Dara Singh, Ajit, Nishi, Helen, Randhawa, Tiwari, Madan Puri, Kundan, Sundar, Randheer, Chaman Puri, Gauri, Neelam, Bela Bose, Madhumati, Ramlal Malik, Veena etc in it.

“Naujawaan”(1966) had five songs in it. Two songs have been covered in the blog in the past. One of them was an Usha Mangeshkar solo song while the other song was a duet song sung by Lata and Usha Mangeshkar.

Here is the third song from “Naujawaan”(1966). This song is a solo song sung by another sister of the above mentioned singers, namely Asha Bhonsle.

This is a lively lilting song. If one is not aware of the details of the song, one may think that this song is an O P Nayyar composition. But we know for sure that O P Nayyar did not use the voice of Lata Mangeshkar in his compositions (Interestingly, O P Nayyar used the voice of Usha Mangeshkar in some of his female duet songs with Asha Bhonsle).So it cannot be an O P Nayyar composition. This is a composition of G S Kohli. Resemblence to O P Nayyar music is because G S Kohli was an assistant of O P Nayyar.

Lyrics are by Anjaan.

What a lively song it is. This song is picturised on Nishi, with Dara Singh and other also visible in the picturisation.

‘Toofaan Mein Pyaar Kahaan’ (1966) was produced by S H Munshi and was directed by Phani Majumdar. The cast included Ashok Kumar and Nalini Jaywant in the lead roles supported by Jayshree Gadkar, Lata Sinha, Sailej Prakash (debutant), Madhumati, Achala Sachdev, Tarun Bose, Tiwari, Sundar, Bhagwan Sinha etc.

In this film, I was impressed with the performance of Lata Sinha which reminded me that I had also seen her in many other films without knowing her identity. From her name, I guessed that Lata Sinha was from either Bihar or Jharkhand. I checked the cast of many Bhojpuri films but did not find her name. However, I found that she was the lead actress in the first Maithili film, ‘Kanyadaan’ (1965). She had also acted in a supporting role in the first Magadhi (Magahi) film, ‘Bhaiyya’ (1961). The common factors in both the regional films were the producer, S H Munshi and the director, Phani Majumdar, the same combination for the film under discussion.

From her filmography, I find that Lata Sinha has acted in as many as 40 Hindi films during 1955-79. With her long presence in Hindi film industry, it is surprising that very little information about her early life is available online. It is also surprising that she suddenly vanished from Hindi film industry. The only information I could get from Mike Burnum’s website, ‘Cinemajadoo’ is that Lata Sinha was the daughter of yester-year actress, Shobha Devi who had acted in supporting role in ‘Daawat’ (1943) and in lead role in ‘Jeena Sikho’ (1946) among others.

It may be observed from the filmography that Lata Sinha started her filmy career as a child artist, Baby Lata in ‘Barsaat Ki Ek Raat’ (1948), ‘Shikhar’ (1955), ‘Riyasat’ (1955) and ‘Nau Do Gyaarah’ (1957). Lata Sinha got her first adult and the lead role in ‘Ham Bhi Insaan Hain’ (1959). However, after this film, she was seen in only supporting roles such as ‘Chaudhvin Ka Chaand’ (1960), ‘Bees Saal Baad’ (1962), ‘Taj Mahal’ (1963), ‘Benazir’ (1964), ‘Bhoot Bangla’ (1965). ‘Main Wohi Hoon’ (1966), ‘Shikaar’ (1968), ‘Heer Raanjha’ (1970) ‘Raja Jaani’ (1972), ‘Insaaniyat’ (1974), ‘Apnaapan’ (1977) etc.

Coming back to the film under discussion, I have already given the film’s story in detail while discussing the song, le pee zaraa uar pee. However, just to refresh, I give below the gist of the story which is as under:

Shamu (Ashok Kumar) is a truck driver of Mahajan (Tiwari), a smuggler who indulges in business of smuggled good across the border with Sikkim. Although Shamu feels bad about serving Mahajan for his smuggling activities, he has to do this for taking care of Rami (Achala Sachdev), a Tibetan and her daughter as promised by him at the time of the death of her husband.

In a different village, Shanta (Nalini Jaywant) is being readied to depart for her marriage with Raimohan (Tarun Bose) against her wish. She runs away from the house. Shamu gives her shelter in his den in an adjoining room with a condition that she should find a different place to stay as his den is full of bad people. Shanta finds Shamu a kind-hearted person. Next day, Mahajan visits the den, Shanta introduces herself as the wife of Shamu for her own safety.

Pulma (Jayshree Gadkar), who runs a tea shop and is in love with Shamu, does not believe that Shanta is Shamu’s wife. By now Shamu has fallen in love with Shanta and has decided to propose her for the marriage. One day, Shamu sees a letter written by Raimohan to Shanta about their impending marriage. He assumes that Shanta is in love with Raimohan, and he has no right to ask for hand in marriage. Next morning, before Shanta could explain to Shamu about the notoriety of Raimohan, she finds that Shamu has left the place with Pulma.

Raimohan with the help of Mahajan conspire to kidnap Shanta to sell her across the border at a high price. Shanta now takes shelter in Rami’s house from where she is kidnapped by Raimohan and Mahajan. When Shamu comes to know about Shanta’s kidnapping, he takes out his truck with Pulma and follows the jeep in which Shanta is being taken. While driving on a jig jag hill road, the jeep roles down from road to valley killing Shanta, Raimohan and Mahajan. While consoling Shamu, Pulma reiterates her love for him.

In ‘Toofaan Mein Pyaar Kahaan’ (1966), Lata Sinha was almost like a second lead actress along with the debutant Sailej Prakash. Three out of eight songs were picturised on Lata Sinha, the same number as that for the lead actress, Nalini Jaywant. The songs were written by Prem Dhawan which were set to music by Chitragupt. Four songs have been covered on the Blog.

I present the 5th song, ‘goree itnaa bataa tera lagtaa hai kyaa’ rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and Usha Mangeshkar who sings for Nalini Jaywant and Lata Sinha respectively. Video clip has partial song while audio clip has the full song.

I am not able to give the exact context of the song as the film’s VCD is found to be heavily edited and the song suddenly appears on the screen. From the lyrics coupled with the preceding scenes in the film, my guess is that now it has been known to Shanta’s (Nalini Jaywant) friends that she is in love with Shamu (Ashok Kumar). So, while bathing in the river, her friend, Billu (Lata Sinha) teases her to let her know as to who is the person visiting her in her dream in the midnight. But after the end of the song, it is an anti-climax for Shanta as Shamu has already read the letter written by Raimohan (Tarun Bose) to Shanta about their impending marriage. So, instead of proposing marriage with Shanta, Shamu is in search of Raimohan to unite him with Shanta, without knowing his antecedent.

Enjoy this sweet song of the friendly banter between Lata Sinha and Nalini Jaywant on the screen.

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

Today’s song is a nice composition from the movie ‘Daku Mangal Singh-1966’. Lyrics for this song were sent by Prakashchandra long back. Listeni8ng to songs like this (that I had not heard before), I am beginning to realise that apart from the songs that we grw up listening to (that we fondly remember), there many be thousands of songs that we could never listen to. Seing that most of these songs belonged to obscure movies, it is unlikely that music lovers will ever listen to these forgotten songs.

Remembering Nalini Jayawant (18/02/1926 – 20/12/2010) on the occasion of her 100th birth anniversary today, February 18, 2026. She was one of the top actress of the golden period of 1950s of Hindi films. Unfortunately, like Suraiya, Nalini Jaywant also took early retirement from films when her films of the 1960s failed one after another. Once voted as a most photogenic face of Hindi films, she spent her post-retirement life as a recluse to such an extent that her death on December 20, 2010, got noticed only after a couple of days.

Nalini Jaywant had two distinct phases of her filmy career. The first phase began with her debut film ‘Radhika’ (1941) produced by Chimanbhai Desai and directed by his son, Virendra Desai. In this film, she sang for herself. Her second film to release was Mehboob Khan’s ‘Bahen’ (1941) where she was paired with Sheikh Mukhtar in the role of his younger sister. This was followed by ‘Nirdosh’ (1941) with Mukesh, ‘Aankh Michauli’ (1942) with Satish Batra and ‘Aadab Arz’ (1943) with Karan Diwan. These films did not work out good in the box office front but Nalini Jaywant established herself in the Hindi film industry as an accomplished actress.

Sometime in 1945, Nalini Jaywant married Virendra Desai who was already married with children. This was not liked by his father, Chimanbhai Desai who expelled Virendra Desai from the house and removed him from his film production company, Amar Films. Later, Nalini Jaywant and Virendra Desai signed a 2-year contract with Filmistan, as an actress and as a director, respectively. However, both of them did not get any assignment during the period of contract. This gap was long enough for the film industry to forget their existence. Once the contract with Filmistan came to an end, Nalini Jaywant and Virendra Desai jointly produced ‘Gunjan’ (1948) which failed at the box. Soon Nalini Jaywant divorced Virendra Desai in 1948.

The second phase of Nalini Jaywant’s filmy career started with ‘Anokha Pyaar’ (1948) with Dilip Kumar and Nargis. This film gave her new lease of life in her filmy career. Film critics praised her in the role of a flower girl. ‘Shikast’ (1953) was a milestone in her career in which she paired with Dilip Kumar. She got a rare praise from Dilip Kumar for her brilliant performance in the film.

The real take off in her filmi career came from ‘Samaadhi’ (1950) in which she paired with Ashok Kumar for the first time. This was followed by another big success for her in ‘Sangraam’ (1950), once again pairing with Ashok Kumar. The success of Ashok Kumar-Nalini Jaywant combination resulted in both working together in as many as 11 films during 1950-58.

The box office success of ‘Naastik’ (1954) in which she was paired with Ajit resulted her working with Ajit in 11 films. Her pairing with Dev Anand in ‘Munimji’ (1955) and with Shammi Kapoor in ‘Ham Sab Chor Hain’ (1956) resulted in box office success of these films. For her performance in ‘Kala Paani’ (1958) with Dev Anand, she got the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress award. But after this film, Nalini Jaywant did not have films much to talk about. From the beginning of the 1960s, film offers started declining. Many new leading actresses like Asha Parekh, Sadhana and Saira Bano had joined the film industry.

The box office failure of ‘Amar Rahe Ye Pyaar’ (1961) jointly produced by Radhakrishan and Prabhu Dayal and directed by Prabhu Dayal financially broke both of them. While Radhakrishan committed suicide, Prabhu Dayal who by that time had married Nalini Jaywant, became an alcohol addict. ‘Bombay Racecourse’ (1965) was virtually her last film in a lead role though, Toofan Main Pyaar Kahaan; (1966) was her last released film in the lead role. After the release of these two films, she had almost retired from her filmy career until she accepted character roles in two films, ‘Bandish’ (1980) and ‘Naastik’ (1983).

In a rare interview of Nalini Jaywant published in the Deccan Herald after her death in 2010, she regretted that she could get to show her acting prowess only in films like ‘Anokha Pyaar’ (1948), ‘Sangraam’ (1950), ‘Shikast’ (1953), ‘Raahi’ (1953) and ‘Kaala Paani’ (1958). She said that she was not interested in making a comeback in films when the offer came for a character role in ‘Naastik’ (1983). But she had to accept it after many requests from Pran and Promod Chakravarty.

Nalini Jayawant died of a heart attack but was found dead after 3 days of her death in her bungalow by neighbours, due to the continuing howling by her two pet dogs. She was staying alone after the death of her husband, Prabhu Dayal in 2001 and was leading a life of a recluse with a couple of pet dogs to give her the company. A distant relative of her is said to have taken her body on a municipal ambulance and cremated her.

On the occasion of Nalini Jaywant’s 100th birth anniversary, I have selected a song from ‘Toofaan Mein Pyaar Kahaan’ (1966), her last film in the lead role and also her last film with Ashok Kumar in lead roles. I had already given the film’s detailed story in my article while covering one of its song, le pee zaraa aur pee. The gist of the story is as under:

Shamu (Ashok Kumar) is a truck driver of Mahajan (Tiwari), a smuggler who indulges in business of smuggled good across the border with Sikkim. He lives in a den with Mahajan and others when they are not on duty. Although Shamu feels bad about serving Mahajan for his smuggling activities, he has to do this for taking care of Rami (Achala Sachdev), a Tibetan and her daughter as promised by him at the time of the death of her husband.

In a different village, Shanta (Nalini Jaywant) is being readied to depart for her marriage with Raimohan (Tarun Bose) against her wish. She runs away from the house. Shamu gives her shelter in his den in an adjoining room with a condition that she should find a different place to stay as his den is full of bad people. Shanta finds Shamu a kind-hearted person. Next day, Mahajan visits the den, Shanta introduces herself as the wife of Shamu for her own safety. Pulma (Jayshree Gadkar), who runs a tea shop and is in love with Shamu, does not believe that Shanta is Shamu’s wife. By now Shamu has fallen in love with Shanta and has decided to propose her for the marriage. One day, Shamu visits her room to propose her for the marriage. He sees a letter written by Raimohan to Shanta about their impending marriage. He assumes that Shanta is in love with Raimohan, and he has no right to ask for hand in marriage. Next morning, before Shanta could explain to Shamu about Raimohan, she finds that Shamu has left the place with Pulma.

Raimohan with the help of Mahajan conspire to kidnap Shanta to sell her across the border at a high price. Shanta now takes shelter in Rami’s house from where she is kidnapped by Raimohan and Mahajan. When Shamu comes to know about Shanta’s kidnapping, he takes out his truck with Pulma and follows the jeep in which Shanta is being taken. While driving on a jig jag hill road, the jeep roles down from road to valley killing Shanta, Raimohan and Mahajan. While consoling Shamu, Pulma reiterates her love for him.

The film had eight songs written by Prem Dhawan which were set to music by Chitragupt. Three songs have been covered on the Blog. On the occasion of the 100th birth anniversary of Nalini Jaywant, I am presenting a song, ‘jaane kaisa hai ye pyaar’ rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and picturised on Nalini Jaywant.

The context of the song is that after Shamu (Ashok Kumar) gives shelter to a runaway girl Shanta (Nalini Jaywant) in his den, she has started liking him for his kind heartedness which soon turns into her love for him. But she is not sure whether he loves her. In this song, Shanta expresses her feelings toward Shamu and doubts whenter Shamu knows about her feelings toward him. Later, she comes to know about his reciprocal feelings toward her through Pulma (Jayshree Gadkar). With this, Shanta expects that Shamu would propose her in his next meeting. Shamu does come to her room with the intention of proposing her. However, in her room, Shamu gets a letter to read which is a letter written by Raimohan (Tarun Boase) to Shanta about their impending marriage. He assumes that Shanta is in love with Raimohan, and he has no right to ask for her hand in marriage. Before she could explain the reality, Shamu has left his place of dwelling.

Today, December 25, 2025, is the 10th Remembrance Day of Sadhana, the fashion icon of Hindi cinema in the 1960s. She was also called the ‘mystery girl’ because she acted in three mystery genre of films one after another. In her short filmy career of about 15 years, she had a high success ratio in terms of hit films. She worked with top directors like Bimal Roy, Raj Khosla, Yash Chopra, Hrishikesh Mukherjee and H S Rawail. Her co-stars included Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor, Rajendra Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Raj Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Rajesh Khanna and Dharmendra. Sadhana came and conquered the Hindi film industry in the 1960s and by the end of 1970s, she virtually vanished from the film industry.
