Regulars on the blog are aware that I am very fond of Qawwaalees from our Hindi films and I have been presenting them whenever I find an opportunity to do so. Also I try to bring Qawwaalee songs here that are lesser heard or never heard songs, whenever I came across such songs.

The Qawwaalee song under discussion is one such song. It is from the movie ‘Jawaan Mard-1966’. This movie was directed by Ishwar Lal for ‘Kedar Lakshami Productions, Bombay’. The cast of this movie has Dara Singh, Mumtaz, Madhumati, Aruna Irani, B.M. Vyas, Sapru, Gopal Sehgal, Ratnamala, Babu Raje, Tuntun, Sabina, Anwari Bai and others.

‘Love And Murder’ (1966) was an obscure film which I came to know very recently due to its couple of pleasing dance songs composed by O P Nayyar. The film was produced by B K Adarsh under his banner, Adarshlok and was directed by Raja Paranjpe. The cast included Ramesh Deo, Jaymala in lead roles, supported by Prithviraj Kapoor, Heeralal, P Kailash, Helen, Kammo, Chandrakant, Asit Sen, Edwina etc. One of the features of this film’s marketing was that the publicity posters of the film contained only the name of producer, director and the music director. The names of even the main actors were not mentioned.

In the 1960s through 1970s, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium at Worli (Opposite Haji Ali) used to host free-style wrestling bouts. Dara Singh, Randhawa, Tiger Joginder Singh, Saudagar Singh etc among the Indians and some foreign wrestlers like King Kong used to participate in the bouts. Most wrestling bouts used to take place on Saturdays/Sundays and probably one during the weekdays. Large life size cut-outs of the famous wrestlers used to be displayed at the venue as well as some prominent places. In addition, huge posters of wrestling bouts used to be displayed on hand pulled carts (Haathh Gaadi) which will move from one place to other. Thousands of leaflets of advertisement of the wrestling bouts used to be distributed at prominent places like railway stations, bus stands and other crowded places.
