Aansuon ko thhaam le

I have heard of the movie called “Kunwaara Baap” (1974) but I was not aware of a movie called “Chhota Baap”. It turns out that a movie of this title was released in 1977. This movie, despite being a recent movie by the standards of this blog has ended up joining the ranks of obsure movies. This movie was a B grade movie. It was directed by Shantilal Soni. The movie had Romesh Sharma, Bindiya Goswami, Alankar Joshi, Asit Sen, Paintal, Dhumal, Dina Pathak etc in it. With this kind of starcast, it should come as no surprise that few people wanted to watch this movie or even wanted to have anything to do with it.

Today (5 september) is an important day in India for a non musical reason too. It is the birthday of Dr. Sarwapalli Radhakrishnan (5 september 1888 – 17 april 1975), who was India’s second president and prior to that he had made his mark as an eminent scholar and philosopher. He was knighted by Britain in 1931 and he was accorded “Bharat Ratna”, India’s highest civilian honour in 1954. In honour of Dr Radhakrishnan as a scholar, this day is celebrated in India as teacher’s day.

He composed music in movies of as many as ten languages. Majority of these movies were in Bangla, Hindi and Malayalam though.

While listening to songs, music lovers appreciate the singers as well as the music, but the lyrics are often taken for granted. In reality, it is the lyrics that are the soul of these songs which give these songs their life and their personality.

This article is written by Raja, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Today, the 18th of August, is the 76th birthday of Gulzar saab.
And, as I type 76th, I can’t help feeling that 1936 must have been a very special year. If I were selling wine and comparing Hindi film personalities with wine, I think I’d say 1936 could be right up there for best year for vintage wine of the 20th century. 🙂
