“Sarkaari Mehmaan”(1978) is by now an obscure movie, but I was aware of this movie when it was released. Seeing that it was a non Amitabh Bachchan movie, I considered it a B grade movie, not worth my time. Nevertheless, I was not averse to watch a movie if I could get to watch it free. When I used to return back from college in the evening, I came down by walk, which had the added advantage that I came across most movie halls of Ranchi that were located on a single road called Main Road. The newest cinema hall, which also happened to be located closest to my residence was called Sujata Cinema. I found out that while one needed to buy tickets while the movie began, no one checked tickets after half time. So one could wait for the half time when movie watchers came out to buy peanuts, popcorn etc. When they went back inside, their tickets was not checked again. So it was possible to enter the hall in the second half and sit in a vacant seat and watch the second half of the movie. I was able to watch a few flop movies (with very few ticket buyers for them) this way. If my memory is not playing tricks, this movie “Sarkaari Mehmaan”(1978) was one such movie. I entered the movie hall after second half, watched the movie and left the hall after THE END along with other bonafide movie watchers who had the misfortune of buying tickets of this movie.

Mukesh and his Composers – 39
Coming to the next part of this series, I take up a solo song by Mukesh from the film Parmatma released in 1978. It was directed by Chand and had Shatrughan Sinha, Rekha, Pradeep Kumar, Aruna Irani, Ranjeet, Dev Kumar, Jagdish Raj, Chand Usmani, Helen and others in the cast. The music was by K. Babuji and lyrics by Indeevar.
Again, not much information is available on the music director K. Babuji. It appears Mukesh has sung only one song for him.

Yesterday, I was watching the song, gumsum saa ye jahaan ye raat ye hawaa from the film, ‘Duniya Jhuktee Hai’ (1960). An idea came to me as to how many Hindi films songs may have the word ‘gumsum’ in the first line of the mukhda of the songs. I checked on the internet and found that over two dozen songs had the word, ‘gumsum’ in the first line of the mukhda. There may be more Hindi film songs with ‘gumsum’ but they may appear elsewhere in the songs. I selected few such songs to watch/listen. One of ‘gumsum’ songs which I heard for the first time and liked so much that I must have heard umpteen times. It is a beautifully crafted song in terms of lyrics, rendition, orchestration and the picturisation. The song is ‘gumsum kyun hai sanam o zaraa maan jaa’ from the film, ‘Bhala Maanush’ (1979) which I am presenting in this short write-up, concentrating mainly on the song. Gulshan Bawra wrote this song.

Playback singer and composer Sharda passed away on 14 June 2023. On her Remembrance Day today, I bring this post as a tribute in continuation to the recent two posts wherein Mukesh’s association under her compositions and a co-singer in their duets were covered.
Links to the two posts are provided below for reader’s ready reference.
• Mukesh and his Co-Singers –14
• Mukesh and his Composers – 35
There is nothing much to add from my knowledge to whatever I have already covered in my two aforesaid posts. But then, when I start writing, I keep writing. 😊
So, here we go again.

‘Parmaatmaa’ (1978) seems to be a forgotten film now. I do not remember to have heard the name of the film during my younger days. The film was produced by Kuljeet Pal under the banner of Parashakti Pictures and was directed by Chand. The star cast included Shatrughan Sinha and Rekha in the lead roles with Pradeep Kumar, Aruna Irani, Imtiaz Khan, Ranjeet, Dev Kumar, Jagdish Raj, Chand Usmani, Helen and Komilla Work in the supporting roles. Probably, this was Shatrughan Sinha’s first film in a lead role and that too the first time he paired with Rekha in a lead role. It appears that the film took a long time to get a theatrical release as I find that song album on LP was issued in 1976 and the film was released in November 1978.

Hullo Atuldom
A long time ago, sometime in my childhood, there used to be an ad that used to start with “a small & happy family”. The family is shown to be sitting and enjoying quality, family time when suddenly there is a problem in the form of a flickering TUBE-LIGHT. Basically it was an ad for some brand of TUBE-LIGHTS that we used to see in cinema halls. From that ad, I learnt that small things effect smooth functioning of families.
