The greatest of all desert song, like ‘yeh duniya yeh mehfil'(Heer Ranjha) and ‘ae dil-e-naadaan’ (Razia Sultan), are already covered in this blog. Still there are some such songs remaining to be posted, so this quest of mine. Atul ji has magnanimously started a category of ‘desert’ song, for this series. So here is song no. 3 of this series.

The name of Habba Khatoon, the Kashmiri poetess may not be familiar to many people. This name became familiar to me only sometime in 1987 when Muzzafar Ali ( of Umrao Jaan fame) announced his plan to make a film on the life of Habba Khatoon. Dimple Kapadia was taken for the title role with Vinod Khanna in the role of the first husband of Habba Khatoon. The title of the film was changed to ‘Zooni’, Habba Khatoon’s maiden name. The lyrics were to be written by Shahryar and Khayyam was to give the music direction. Muzzafar Ali believed that Zooni’s life was the powerful vehicle to project the real Kashmir. After nearly 20 months of shooting in Kashmir, the film was shelved in 1989 probably due to the rise of militancy in the Kashmir valley. I got my hand on a small video clip of the film on YT uploaded by Basheer Ali who was the Director of Photography for the film. From the content of the clip which also has a part of the song ‘rukh-e-dildaar deedam daras ko aaye preetam’ picturised on Dimple Kapadia, it appears that it was made as a part of marketing the film for international audience. The video clip is here.

“Phir wahi Raat” (1980) was produced by N N Sippy and directed by Danny. This suspense movie had Rajesh Khanna, Kim, Danny, Suresh Oeroi, Aruna Irani, Lalita Pawar, Jagdeep, A K Hangal, Shashikala, Mukri, Shubha Khote etc in it. This movie has many suspects and the least suspected person turns out to be the culprit in the last reel, as befits a classic whodunit. 🙂

Happy (belated) Birthday Danny Denzongpa!!! (DOB 25 february 1948)
How people succeed in their lives after initial struggles and sometimes even after deviating from their original career option (which they have envisaged earlier) has always been a subject of interest for me.
I find such people as inspirational role-models for others. Their success stories are based on perseveresnce and doggedness. They are not only successful, they also contribute in the development of Arts and Culture in Society.

‘Kaali Ghata'(1980) was a suspense thriller movie with Rekha having a double role. Shashi Kapoor played the male lead. Music was by Laxmikant Pyarelal and lyricist was Anand Bakshi. Actually my favourtie song in this film is “Kaali Ghata Chaayi prem rut aayi” Which is either a solo Rafi or Lata -Rafi duet. Various links are giving different description of that song. I sent the lyrics of that song long ago, but it is posted recently on the blog. Listening to the haunting music and echo sound of that song on our old Philips Radio was an amazing experience. That sound still haunts me and I have heard the song many times on FM radio too but it is not the same.

I have always been writing on old films, old songs, old artists, old anecdotes-in short, everything about old matters (what else you expect from an old man,anyway !). So,my post on a comparatively newer song,that too a Disco song may surprise some readers. It is sort of an anachronism, one may aver !
