“Gautam Govinda” (1979) was a Subhash Ghai movie. If one is not aware of this fact, one may mistake this movie for a Manmohan Desai movie dealing with separated at childhood brothers. The only thing different from a Manmohan Desai movie and this movie is that instead of Amitabh Bachchan, this movie has Shatrughan Sinha playing the law breaking brother. Shashi Kapoor is there in the movie, as usual playing a police inspector.

Few people today remember this movie called “Ahsaas” (1979). This movie was a quicky movie produced by G P Sippy in the interim period between his two big movies viz. “Sholay” (1975) and “Shaan”(1980). “Ahsaas” (1979) was produced with newcomers with names that no one had heard of. Who were the lead pair in this movie ? Frankly no one seems to recall including me. It was one of those few movies that I had watched first day first show ! And what a disaster of a movie it was. Now others who are into watching first day first show (FDFS), like for instance Santosh Ojha, watch blockbusters like “Trishul”. On the other hand, it is my misfortune to watch dud movies like “Ahsaas” (1979) and “Shalimaar” (1978) in FDFS. Bahut naainsaafi hai.

“Sunayna” (1979) was a Rajshri Productions movie which was inspired from Charlie Chaplin’s movie The citylights(1931). Charlie Chaplin’s movie was a silent movie even though the era of talkies has begun. Hindi movies cannot be silent by any stretch of imagination. And this movie had some lovely songs in it,including Naseeruddin Shah (playing Charlie Chaplin’s role) singing a romantic song(Sunayna sunayna..aaj in nazaaron ko tum dekho) for his lady love.

Today (12 july) is the death anniversary of Rajendra Kumar. Movies featuring Rajendra Kumar tended to have fantastic music in them. As a result, we are spoilt for choice when it comes to discussing songs picturised on Rajendra Kumar. And this despite the fact that we have already discussed several such songs in the blog in the past.

This article is written by nahm, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
While I searched for this song, Youtube had a number of audio links, no video links, and they all said only that this was a Rafi song from the film “Love in Canada”. The year is said to be 1979, but I am not too sure. When I heard the opening music of the song, I was convinced that it is an R D Burman song. Still to verify my hunch, I looked for info on earthmusic.net. But that website has no information of either this film or song. In this case even Google search engine was not of much help. Finally I remembered that there is a privately compiled list of all Rafi songs stored somewhere in my lap top. I found the excel format file and found the other details about this song. This is song no. 5337 in total 5373 songs rendered by Mohammed Rafi.

It turns out that today (24th may) is Rajesh Roshan’s birthday. Though it is late by Indian standards, but the day is still 24th of may. So I can slip in a Rajesh Roshan song just in the nick of time.
