One of the important targets that I chase on a regular basis these days is seeing that all songs of movies get covered and then that movie title in coloured orange in the list of songs. Often it so happens that I cover all songs of a movie but I forget to colour the title of movie red in the list of songs or forget to include the name of the movie in the list of ” movies with all songs covered”.

When I look back at my formative years (viz 1960s and 1970s), I find that my musical tastes at that time were quite different from what it is at present. Those were the days when I only liked new songs and scoffed at old songs. Old songs for me were any songs recorded before 1967 and composed by music directors of the generations older than that of R D Burman. It was during mid 1970s that I decided to try and like “old” songs. It was then that I discovered music directors of the earlier generation, viz O P Nayyar, C Ramchandra etc and forced myself to try and like their music, all the time comparing their music to R D Burman’s music and wondering why the older generation music directors cold not compose music like R D Burman. 🙂

Ashok Kumar or Kumudlal Kunjilal Ganguly (his birth name) would have been 103 if he had been there. Born in 1911, in Bhagalpur Bengal presidency was a laboratory assistant at Bombay Talkies when he was offered a role in 1936 in Jeevan Nayya. Thus began his six-decade long career. Of course by the time I became aware of Ashok Kumar, the actor, he was past doing hero roles and into playing a father or grand father or some such character. But to give credit where due his name would always appear first in the title cards of all these movies. Whether it was the grandpa in “Anuraag”, “Anurodh”, “Khoobsurat” or many such movies. He was very charming in the brief role of Air Force officer in “Aradhana”. He was Vijay Anand’s “Jewel Thief” as well as Brij Sadanah’s “Raja” along with Pran as “Rana” in “Victoria No: 203”. After the 1973 hit Victoria No: 203 this pair was repeated many times.

“You see sir, I can walk English, I can talk English, I can laugh English.”
“Aaj khush toh bahut honge tum”
“Main aaj bhi phenke huye paise nahin uthata”
“Sar zameene Hindustan, aa salaam walekum”. (Nahmji I know I may have written the salutation wrong, but I hope my intention has been conveyed)
These are some powerful dialogues of Amitabh Bachchan, who turned 72 yesterday(11 october 2014). He was a horrible dancer when he made his debut in movies. There is this anecdote which keeps playing on the TV channels where Aruna Irani his co actor in “Bombay To Goa” (1971/72) has narrated how Mehmood the maker of the movie had instructed every one not to laugh at any mistakes Amitabh would commit in the dance sequences. She also goes on to appreciate how over the years he managed to shake a leg or two without making a buffoon of himself. Infact a lot of later year actors who try to ape him on the way to stardom and are not comfortable dancers, also ape his dance steps. And there were many of that breed of actors in the late 70s, 80s and 90s.

(1976 – Duet)
If nothing else, producer director Rajkumar Kohli has made a place in memory and in records, for producing films that have a huge galaxy of stars working together. I cannot easily recall any other producer director having pulled of this feat. In this film, ‘Naagin’, the star cast is a veritable milky way with the presence of Sunil Dutt, Feroz Khan, Sanjay, Jeetendra, Kabir Bedi, Vinod Mehra, Anil Dhawan, Premnath, Ranjeet, and Roopesh Kumar , working opposite to Rekha, Reena Roy, Yogita Bali, Mumtaz, Prema Narayan, Aruna Irani, Heena Kausar, Neelam Mehra, Aarti, Anita Guha and Komilla Wirk. And the second line of casting is still to come – Jagdeep, Gulshan Arora, Tun Tun, Sulochana, Maruti, Satish Arora, Rajan Sethi etc.

(1976 – Solo)
As I am checking the list of songs from 1976, I find this gem of a ‘naat’ (Islamic religious song) rendered by Rafi Sb. The film is ‘Sangraam’, directed by Harmesh Malhotra. The words are written by Gauhar Kanpuri and the music is by Bhappi Lahiri. ‘Sangraam’ is a film that is not in memory otherwise. The films that I remember from that year are ‘Chitchor’, ‘Hera Pheri’ and ‘Chalte Chalte’. And yes, ‘Fakiraa’ and ‘Dus Numbri’. I remember I had seen ‘Chitchor’ and ‘Hera Pheri’ on the big screen.

Whenever I listen to this song from ‘Abhilasha-1968’, I am thrilled, I get goose-bumps, its music makes me delighted and it takes back to the time when I was a kid and I was playing with an inflatable rainbow color beach ball, which my Father had brought for me…
