2 December 2023 was the 9th Remembrance Day of Deven Verma (23/10/1937 – 02/12/2014) who had taken comical performances in Hindi films on a different level. Gulzar had said about Deven Verma that he was not a comedian but an actor. I think, he must have made this statement with his experience of working with him in ‘Angoor’ (1982). His performance was devoid of buffoonery but was loaded with gentle humour, wit, and pun. His wife, Roopa Ganguly had said that her husband was a witty person in his real life.

I first came to know about Deven Verma in the film ‘Devar’ (1966) which I had watched in a theatre upon its release. His role in the film had a shade of a villain because he had married Sharmila Tagore in deceit who was a sweat heart of his cousin, Dharmendra. In the same year, I had also watched ‘Anupama’ (1966) in which Dharmendra, Deven Verma and Sharmila Tagore again acted together. But in this film, Deven Verma has a positive role. He does not go ahead with his planned marriage with Sharmila Tagore. It is his friend, Dharmendra who marries her. In the 1970s and 1980s, Deven Verma had majorly transformed himself in the humourous roles.

Deven Verma (Real name: Devendu Verma) was born in Kutchh to a Rajasthani father and Gujarati mother. He had two elder sisters and two younger sisters. His father, Baldev Singh Verma had a business in silver. Later, he also became a film distributor in partnership with his friend. The family shifted to Pune because his elder sister got admission for MBBS in Pune. Deven Verma, after completion of his school in Panchgani, joined Wadia College in Pune from where he completed B.A. in Political Science and Sociology in 1957.

During his college days in Pune, Deven Verma participated in plays and youth festivals. He was also a part of the Pune delegation representing the city at Youth Festivals in Delhi. His father wanted him to become a lawyer whereas he was more interested in becoming an actor. In keeping with the wishes of his father, Deven Verma, after graduation, joined Government Law College in Mumbai. During this period, he got involved in stage shows with Johny Whiskey, doing mimicry of film artists. The stage shows made him to leave his law study halfway. It was his one-act play at a function of the North India Punjabi Association when producer-director, B R Chopra who was in the audience, picked him for the film, ‘Dharmaputra’ (1961) at a monthly salary of Rs.600/-. The film failed at the box office.

Deven Verma continued with his stage shows in India and abroad. On return from stage shows abroad, A V Meiyappan of AVM Studios hired him on a contract for Rs.1500/- per month, for three years. He had to shift to Madras (Chennai) where he underwent training in acting. In the meanwhile, B R Chopra’s ‘Gumraah’ (1963) got released in which he had a role of a servant of Ashok Kumar. The film was a box office success. A V Meiyappan asked him to choose between Chennai and Mumbai and he decided to shift to Mumbai after a year.

On returning to Mumbai, Deven Verma did ‘Qawwali Ki Raat’ (1964). Next, he did ‘Devar’ (1966), ‘Anupama’ (1966) and a Bhojpuri film, ‘Nahihar Chhutal Jaaye’ (1964) in which he was in the lead role with Kumkum. But none of the films resulted in pushing his acting career. Unable to make much headway in his acting career, Deven Verma turned producer with ‘Yakeen’ (1969), directed by Brij Sadanah. The film was a box office success. Next, he produced and directed ‘Naadan’ (1971) and ‘Bada Kabootar’ (1973).

Deven Verma’s acting career took off with ‘Chori Mera Kaam’ (1975) for which he got his first Filmfare Award for the Best Comedian. With this, he was flooded with many acting assignments. During 1976-78, his 28 films and during 1979-82, his 30 films were released. His notable performances in humourous roles were in the films of Hrishikesh Mukherjee ( ‘Golmaal’ 1979, ‘Rang Birangee’, 1983), Gulzar (‘Angoor’, 1982) and Basu Chatterjee (‘Khatta Meetha’, 1978, ‘Priyatama’ 1978, ‘Dillagi’ 1978). In ‘Angoor’ (1982), he gave a memorable performance in which he and Sanjeev Kumar played double roles. Deven Verma won the Filmfare Award for the Best Comedian in this film.

Deven Verma worked with Ashok Kumar in maximum number of his films. He was also a regular visitor to his home during which he and Roopa Ganguly, Ashok Kumar’s younger daughter, fell in love. They wanted to get married. But Ashok Kumar delayed giving his consent for the marriage by telling him that she was too young, and he would decide later. Finally, it was Kishore Kumar who intervened to get them married.

During his 4 decades in Hindi films, Deven Verma acted in about 150 films and produced/directed 7 films. His last released film was ‘Calcutta Mail’ (2003). He had also worked in some TV serials in the 1990s.

Deven Verma announced his retirement from the films after the death of his father-in-law, Ashok Kumar in December 2001. After the completion of his remaining acting assignments, he permanently shifted to Kalyani Nagar, Pune where he had bought a bungalow in 1993 with the intention of settling there.

Deven Verma passed away on December 2, 2014, in his house in Pune due to heart attack and kidney failure.

‘Chhuppa Chhuppi’ (1981) was probably the only Hindi film in which Deven Verma got the lead role with Aruna Irani. The film was produced by Ram Films and was directed by Arun Jaitly, the only Hindi film he directed. The other cast of the film included Madan Puri, Shammi, Paintal, Indra Kumar, Satyen Kapoo, Aparna Chaudhary, Helen, Sunder, Seema Deo, Keshto Mukherjee, Tun Tun, Master Bhagwan etc. The film belongs to ‘detective comedy’ genre.

The gist of the film’s story is as under:

Rani (Aruna Irani) is the daughter of a wealthy parents (Madan Puri and Shammi) and stays in Delhi. Due to pressure of marriage from her parents, Rani runs away from her parents and lands in Mumbai. She stays in a hotel. She gets a job as a Secretary to private detective, William Bose (Deven Verma) who was brought up in an orphanage for which he monetarily helps.

Rani’s parents search almost all the places in Delhi where Rani is likely to visit but still there is no trace of her. They do not wish to lodge a missing person’s complaint with the police as this may spoil the marriage plan. They presume that Rani may have gone to Mumbai as she often used to say to her parents for a visit. Rani’s father engages a private Detective, Bose, for investigating Rani’s whereabouts at a fee of Rs.50000/- which Bose needs to give it to the orphanage for surgery on one of the orphan boys. With this, Rani is in the verge of getting exposed.

Rani plays a trick. She intercepts the photo of her sent by her father to Bose and replaces with some other photo from a studio which happens to be that of Rossie (Aparna Chaudhary) who is the sweat heart of a smuggler (Satyen Kapoo). Bose is after Rossie believing her to be Rani to capture her and get Rs.50000/-. Smuggler believes that Bose is trying to expose his smuggling business through Rossie. What follows is the situational comedy in which smuggler trashes Bose while trying to capture Rossie. In his second attempt, Bose is able to capture Rossie and brings her to the police station to be handed over to Rani’s parents.

Rani’s parents reaches police station. However, their happiness is short-lived as the girl in the police custody is not Rani who is actually watching all these events from a safe distance. Rani realises that getting Rs.50000/- from her parents is important to Bose as he is required to pay that sum to the hospital for the surgery of an orphan boy. She promises Bose that by the next day, she would find Rani and hand her over to the parents to get him the money.

The next day, Rani makes a visit to her parents in their hotel room and surrenders herself by telling them that Bose has sent her. Parents are happy and Bose is called at the hotel room to get his fess. But he refuses to accept the money by telling them that he has not done anything, but it is Rani who has come in her own volition. But Rani forces Bose to accept the money and return it when he gets reward of the like amount from the police in helping them to nab the smuggler. At the end, Rani’s parents have not only got back their daughter but also Bose as a bridegroom for her.

The film had 7 songs written by Lokendra (6) and Arun Jaitley (1) which were set to music by Bhuban-Hari (Pandit Bhubaneshwar Mishra-Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia). The duo have composed music for many Odiya films.

Pandit Bhubaneshwar Mishra was the doyen of Odiya traditional music. Trained in both Hindustani and Carnatic classical music, he was throughout associated with Guru Kelucharan Mahapatra and Sanjukta Panigrahi, in composing music for their Odissi dances. Just as music director, Sudhir Phadke is well known in composing music for G D Madgulkar’s ‘Geet Ramayan’ in Marathi, Pandit Bhubaneshwar Mishra has done pioneering work in composing music for the Jayadeva’s ‘Geeta Govinda’ in Odiya.

I am presenting the first song from the film, ‘Chhuppa Chhuppi’ (1981), ‘dheere dheere lo kahaan aa gaye hain ye kadam’ to appear on the Blog. The song is written by Lokendra and is rendered by Anuradha Paudwal. The song is picturised on Aruna Irani and Deven Verma as a background song when they realise for the first time that they are in love with each other.

Note: The biography of Deven Verma is mainly based on his interview which was published in http://www.rediff.com on July 23, 2013.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Kraanti-1981’. This was one of the biggest movies of our times when people like me were still growing up or had just entered their teens. I still vividly remember the summer of 1981 when we had watched this movie in the near-by city Akola (Maharashtra). This movie was passed by Censor Board on 28.01.1981. Unlike now, when movies are released simultaneously in all places, it would take two-three months for the movies to reach the theatres then.

I also remember the discussions among elders at home and seniors in our friend circle as to how Manoj Kumar had put everything at stake (including selling his property to finance the film) to make this movie and his hard work and dedication paid off. Public praised the movie and made it a blockbuster hit. After the success of the film, articles appeared in film magazines and print media where Manoj Kumar stated that “‘Kraanti’ ne mujhe mera sab kuchh lautaa diya”.

“Kraanti-1981” was produced & directed by Manoj Kumar for his home productions ‘V.I.P Films’. It had Dilip Kumar, Manoj Kumar, Shashi Kapoor, Hema Malini, Shatrughan Sinha, Parveen Babi, Sarika, Nirupa Roy, Prem Chopra, Pradeep Kumar, Dheeraj Kumar, Shashikala, Madan Puri, Sulochana, Paintal Birbal, Jairaj, Agha, Kishore Kapoor, Ram Mohan, Bhagwan, Sudhir Dalvi, Tom Alter, Manmohan, Shammi, Lalita Kumari, Preeti Ganguly, Gufi Paintal, Datey, Rajan Kapoor, Kamaldeep, Veeru Devgan, Raj Singh, Gurbachan, Habib, Panthulu, Shukla, Darshan, Inayat, Nutan, Sayeed, Mustafa, B.B. Sahni, Master Aditya, and debutant Kunal Goswami and others.

Readers who have watched this movie must be aware about the story of this movie. Nevertheless I am reproducing below what is mentioned at the beginning of this movie on screen;

“Kraanti” is inspired from the martyrs of Indian struggle for freedom during 1825 to 1875 A.D. but remained unknown in the pages of history. This film is dedicated to that anonymous revolutionary farmer who took oath to free the motherland and lit the torch of ‘Kraanti’, who was he?”

Now we all know that the farmer is nobody else but Dilip Kumar … and Manoj Kumar played his son in the movie. He has a brother Shashi Kapoor and Nirupa Roy plays mother to both of them. Rest is the best of all ingredients of drama, action, emotions, songs etc required for a ‘blockbuster movie’ and should be enjoyed by watching the movie I think 🙂 (Though if possible in the future I can take you through the story of this movie with some of its ‘iconic’ dialogues like ‘Shambhu Singh ka dimaag – do dhaari talwaar’ (This is the famous lecherous character on screen of Hindi Cinema- Prem Chopra – who else!! 🙂 )

Story and screenplay of this movie was written by the famous duo Salim-Javed. Dialogues for this movie were written by Manoj Kumar himself and he had also done the editing of this movie. Lyrics for the songs in this movie were by Manoj Kumar and Santosh Anand and music was composed by the great music-duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

This movie has seven songs including one two-part song. Mahendra Kapoor, Lata Mangeshkar, Nitin Mukesh, Mohd Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Minoo Purushottam, Shailendra Singh and Manna Dey had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

On music front the songs of this movie are very good and in fact this is one of the best albums of composer Laxmikant-Pyarelal from the decade of 1981-1990. There were many others too.

Three songs from this movie “Kranti-1981” had appeared in the ‘annual list of Binaca Geetmala’ of the year ‘1981’. These three songs covering different emotions were ‘zindagi ki naa toote ladi- at number two (at number one it was ‘mere angne mein from ‘Laawaaris-1981’ 🙂 ), ‘chanaa zor garam’ at number six and ‘looie shamasha’ at number twenty-six. Apart from these three songs the other four songs from this movie are also nice hummable songs and were quite popular during those days. Out of the total seven songs in this movie five were penned by Santosh Anand and two were penned by Manoj Kumar himself. The songs that featured in the ‘Annual Binaca Geetmala-1981’ are all written by Santosh Anand.

Today I present a song written by Manoj Kumar from this movie. The song is a popular ‘Maata ki bhent’ song. It is part of all popular compilations brought out by music companies on ‘Maata Devotional Songs’. This song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor and Minoo Purushottam.

In the movie this songs appears at three different occasions and it played in the back ground on screen. The first part of this song is played when the King after giving permission to the British to use their port for shipping activities. The King visits the town temple for offering prayers to the ‘devi’ and seeking the blessing of the goddess for his sister who is expecting a child. The second time only the ‘mukhdaa’ of this song is played (which in the audio version is the beginning of the song)in the background when Rana Sanga (Dilip Kumar) declares war against the British and attacks the fort. The third part of the song happens when Sanga (Dilip Kumar) is about to hang Shakti (Shashi Kapoor) who is Sanga’s son but he Sanga is not aware of that. When Shakti is about to be hanged the prayer sound from the temple is heard and Shakti’s hanging is postponed for the next day as Sanga has to visit the temple of ‘devi maata’. When Sanga reaches the temple he sees his wife (Nirupa Roy) there and both of them meet after a long time. During this meeting Nirupa Roy also tells Sanga about Shakti being their younger son.

As mentioned above Manoj Kumar wrote the lyrics of this song. Four songs penned by Manoj Kumar have already been posted on the blog earlier, and few more may be coming in the future, as there are songs written by him for movies like ‘Shirdi Ke Saibaba-1977’, ‘Kranti-1981’, ‘Painter Babu-1983’, ‘Kalaakaar-1983’, ‘Ricky-1986’, ‘Kalyug Aur Ramayan-1987’, ‘Clerk-1989’, ‘Santosh-1989’, ‘Jai Hind-1999’, ‘Maalik Ek-2010’ etc.

Enjoy this beautiful ‘maata bhajan’ as we are still celebrating the ‘sharadiya navratri festival’ in our country. In the state of ‘Gujarat’, festivities are going on in full swing. Temples and markets have been decorated. Garba’ grounds are especially decorated and people are performing ‘Garbas’ with full religious fervour. Songs and music can be heard on loud speakers (or stereo speakers).

Hullo Atuldom

We are all fans of someone or other. We also find that our idols are fans of talents from their growing up years, whom they used to idolize & continue to do so. I can enumerate many examples to show this- {1} Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Shahrukh Khan etc have a huge fan following but, at various occasions they have confessed that seeing Dilip Kumar on-screen is what made them want to be become actors. {2} Dilip Kumar & Dev Anand are said to have been inspired by Ashok Kumar. {4} Waheeda Rehman’s is another case in point – her fangirl moment came when she got to face the camera alongside Dev Anand for ‘C.I.D’ (1956).

Do we need more examples? SP Balasubramaniam was a huge fan of the legend Mohd. Rafi – like the rest of the followers of Indian Film Music. SPB (he used to be addressed as SPB in addition to being called Balu Sir) himself was a singer with a huge fan following. Balu Sir has mentioned ‘N’ number of times how he used to be moved to tears when he heard some of Rafi Saab’s songs. I am sure he must have felt privileged when he got to sing songs of similar moods & genres. Today’s song is one such song i.e. one that has somber feelings.

1981 was the year that the audiences of Hindi films heard the voice of SP Balasubramaniam for the first time in ‘Ek Duje Ke Liye’ (EDKL); which had him share the recording room with another of his own favorite singers- Lata Mangeshkar & he was never tired about relating how he felt on that day. Following the success of ‘EDKL’ his voice was used for a few hundred songs in Hindi. When Salman Khan got successful with ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’ (1989) part of it was because he sang in Balu Sir’s voice. For most of the early part of the 1990s Salman Khan sang in Balu Sir’s voice. In the period from 1981 to 1989 SPB’s voice was used for other actors too, in addition to singing for Kamal Haasan who was making his way into Hindi films.

‘Ek Hi Bhool’ (EHB) also released in 1981, a few months after ‘EDKL’. It had Rekha (Sadhana) & Jeetendra (Ramkumar) playing a couple who have separated (not divorced) because of some misunderstandings. This leads to Sadhana taking up a job to look after the needs of the family which, now, includes her son (who is born post the separation). It is an Indian cinema, so naturally when the heroine gets a new ‘boss’ it has to be her estranged  husband. And he will still be in love with his wife who will try her level-best to avoid him. Then there will be the usual office- gossip involving the two {remember, it had happened with Mala Sinha & Amitabh Bachchan in ‘Sanjog’ (1972)}. Plus, we have Ramkumar who tries to get back with Sadhana using all kinds of tactics including wooing the son with gifts etc. That means ‘EHB’ had all the ingredients of a family drama with an office Casanova (Mazhar Khan) thrown in for good measure.

The film was directed by T Rama Rao, produced by A Purnachandra Rao & had story by K Bhagyaraj. EHB was the remake of Bhagyaraj’s Tamil ‘Mouna Geethangal’ (‘Silent Melodies’ which also released in 1981). Songs of ‘EHB’ were written by Anand Bakshi & tuned by Laxmikant Pyarelal. Playback singers used were SP Balasubramaniam, Asha Bhonsle & Rajeshwari who is Laxmikant’s daughter.

We are remembering Balu Sir on his death anniversary. He passed away on this date in 2020 due to Covid19 related respiratory complications.

This song reminds me of Rafi Saab’s “Kabhi Khud Pe Kabhi Halaat Pe Rona Aaya” & “Hai Duniya Usi Ki Zamaana Usi Ka“.

bekhudi ka bada sahaara hai
varna duniya mein kya hamaara hai ae
bekhudi ka bada sahaara hai

is muqaddar ka ye sitam dekho

doobte jaa rahe hain ham dekho

bekhudi ka bada sahaara hai
varna duniya mein kya hamaara hai

बेखुदी का बड़ा सहारा है
बेखुदी का बड़ा सहारा है
वरना दुनिया में क्या हमारा है
लोग मरते हैं मौत आने से
लोग मरते हैं मौत आने से
हमको इस ज़िंदगी ने मारा है
बेखुदी का बड़ा सहारा है

आदमी कुछ भी कर नहीं सकता
आदमी कुछ भी कर नहीं सकता
वक़्त ऐसा गुज़र नहीं सकता
वक़्त ऐसा मगर गुज़ारा है
बेखुदी का बड़ा सहारा है
वरना दुनिया में क्या हमारा है
बेखुदी का बड़ा सहारा है

कितनी हल्की है कितनी बोझिल है
कितनी हल्की है कितनी बोझिल है
कोई औरत नहीं ये बोतल है
बंद इस में जहान सारा है
बेखुदी का बड़ा सहारा है
वरना दुनिया में क्या हमारा है
बेखुदी का बड़ा सहारा है

इस मुकद्दर का ये सितम देखो
इस मुकद्दर का ये सितम देखो
डूबते जा रहे हैं हम देखो
और वो सामने किनारा है
बेखुदी का बड़ा सहारा है
वरना दुनिया में क्या हमारा है
लोग मरते हैं मौत आने से
हमको इस ज़िंदगी ने मारा है
बेखुदी का बड़ा सहारा है

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————

Today’s song is from the ‘1981’ movie ‘Barsaat Ki Ek Raat’. Music for this movie was composed by R.D. Burman. This movie has five songs. Four songs out of these five songs have already been posted on this blog. Thus the song under discussion is the final song from this movie. With this song, this movie will join the ‘list of movies – all songs covered’ on the blog.

I had been longing to share this song for a long time, from April 2023 onwards to be precise. That was the time when we had visited the North. During this tour I had visited places like Dalhousie, Dharamshala, and Amritsar and some places of tourist interests around Dalhousie and Dharamshala. We travelled from Vadodara to Pathankot by train. From Pathankot we had to travel by road to Banikhet (Dalhousie) where our accommodation was booked. The next day which was our first day of visiting started by travelling around Dalhousie to Kalatop Sanctuary, the forest rest house, then to Khajjiar (mini Switzerland of India) and Jagdamba temple. The lake at Khajjiar had dried up at that time so that was the only thing missing. The meadows there and the overall background was very exciting.

As per our schedule of travel for the third day the plan was to visit Chamera Lake, Chamunda Devi Temple, Chamera Dam etc and then travel the same day to Dharamshala. A few members including myself were getting motion sickness while travelling in the hills we decided to travel only to Dharamshala and nearby places. The Hotel Manager at Banikhet gave suggestions of places to visit on our request. Among the tourist spots he suggested were, ‘Kunal Pathri Mandir and Tea Garden’. However we took some other internal route and reached Dharamshala first. From there we again resumed our travel after taking lunch. Our stay at Dharamshala was actually at Naddi near McLeodGanj so we decided to cover the places of interest located nearby before going up the hill to our Hotel. This was to keep the next day exclusively for McLeodGanj. We visited the ‘State War Memorial’ in Dharamshala first. There we come to know from other tourist that the Cricket Stadium is closed for tourists (because of IPL I think). So we travelled to Kunal Pathri Mandir. From there we drove to ‘Tea Garden on the Sarah road (near Narghota)’.

Here I was again reminded of the song under discussion. Though there was no river flowing around but the picturesque Dhauladhar range hills and the lush green valley around was really a place to relax and get lost in the cool breeze there. In the recent years I have observed for myself that I was enjoying the compositions of Pancham a lot and listening to them more attentively than before. I feel that there are many of RDB’s compositions especially which take you far away from this world. Some may make you nostalgic, while some of them transport you in time either reminding you of something which you have craved for or the happy or longing moments, & somber or introspecting moments of one’s life too.

For example songs like ‘zindagi ke safar mein guzar jaate hain jo makaam’, ‘tujhse naaraaz nahin zindagi’, ‘ae ree pawan dhhoondhhe kise tera man’ … and many more. I am not mentioning all of them in this article and will take them in future article like this if possible.

The song under discussion is shot at the ‘Tagda Tea Estate’ where we can see the river ‘Teesta’ flowing in the valley. The film credits also mentions name of the river in the lyrics of this song. (Title of the movie mentions it as ‘Tagda Tea Estate’, I think it is spelled as ‘Takdah’.). Knowledgeable readers might know that the river ‘Teesta’ flows in the states of Sikkim and West Bengal and enters Bangladesh through Rangpur division. From there it joins Brahmaputra and finally empties into Bay of Bengal. It flows through the districts of Gangtok, Kalimpong, and Darjeeling etc.

Today’s song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar. It is lipsynced on screen by Rakhee Gulzar (who is shown as a blind girl). We can see Prema Narayan and others in the picturisation of this wonderful song. The picturisation of this song is very beautiful and I feel that the ‘essence’ of the ‘atmosphere around’ is very well captured showing the sun rays coming through the clouds, the mountain range around, the lush green tea garden and other greenery, flowers in the garden, the temple nearby there and the river flowing in the valley.

‘Barsaat Ki Ek Raat-1981’ was produced & directed by Shakti Samanta for ‘Shakti Films’ i.e. his home production. The cast of this movie included Amitabh Bachchan, Rakhee Gulzar, Amjad Khan, Utpal Dutt, Abhi Bhattacharya, and Prema Narayan with Asit Sen, Ashim Kumar, Tarun Ghosh, Manik Dutt, Subrato Mahapatra, Surjit, Manoj, Robin, Kishore, Rinchin, Ajoy, Bunny, Probir, Nimoo, Mukunda, Narayan, Satya, Anamika and Dolly.
Sujit Kumar and Chandrashekhar had a special appearance in this movie.

Story of this movie was written by Shaktipada Rajguru. Screenplay was written by Shakti Samanta and Shaktipada Rajguru. Dialogues of this movie were written by Kamleshwar. And Editing of this movie was done by Bijoy Chowdhury where Sudhir Verma was his associate. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 06.02.1981.

Here is a brief about this movie as mentioned by our Peevesie’s Mom in her post with a song of this movie. Some part I have taken from her write-up and have added some from my side. 🙂

The movie was set in the picturesque North Bengal region- Darjeeling to be exact. Tea gardens formed the backdrop for most songs. It was a made simultaneously in Bengali as “Anusandhan” and was based on a Bengali novel. The Bengali version was more successful as compared to the Hindi one.

Suresh Babu (Abhi Bhattacharya) is an official of the tea gardens and Rajni (Rakhee) is his blind daughter.

Amjad Khan (Kaliram) played the local goonda- element, who is a law unto himself and has all the vices possible. Utpal Dutt (Sahuji), who is Amjad Khans’ father in the movie, is also the cause of the areas’ problems. He instigates the workers to strike against Abhi Bhattacharya etc. Additionally, he is involved in cross border smuggling.

Into this set up, Abhijeet (Amitabh Bachchan) walks in. Initially the locals have no clue about who he is. And he gets into a tangle with Kaliram on numerous occasions.

Abhijeet falls in love with Rajni. Kaliram tries to molest Rajni but she is saved by Abhijeet who arrests Kaliram and put him in the jail. Later Abhijeet marries Rajni and they settled down in a peaceful village. When they are expecting their first child Kaliram gets released from the jail and to ‘settle the score’ he reach to Rajni after making a fake call to Abhijeet and move him away from the house. Kaliram attacks Rajni and in the incident kills here unborn child. Finally Abhijeet gets hold of Kaliram but he is accidentally shot by his own father Sahu (Utpal Dutt) who was attempting to shoot Abhijeet.

I remember to have watched this movie then in childhood with my brothers and cousins. But have never watched it again later or in the recent years. ‘Barsaat Ki Ek Raat-1981’ has five songs written by Anand Bakshi which were composed to music by R.D. Burman. Here is the list of these songs with their respective status of posting on the blog. Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle were the playback singers for this movie.

Mukesh and his Composers – 27

My apologies are in order but then, I can explain. Or so it seems.

In my recent post “Honee Rahe Ho Kar” on Mukesh’s association with composer Surinder Kohli, I had said that it was the only song sung by Mukesh under his composition. Recently, I found myself looking at this name for one more film. But then he is paired up with another composer called Gurubachan.

And, to add to my ignorance, these two names are listed separately in the latest version of Mukesh Geet Kosh under the music director’s index. One is listed under Surinder Kohli’s name for the unreleased film ‘The Revenger’ (1970s UR) which we have already covered. Another is listed under S Kohli along with Gurubachan for the film ‘Farz aur Pyar’ of 1981. Thus, I ended up citing only one song of Mukesh under composer Surinder Kohli and technically, I was not wrong. Well, read on.

The Polydor EP cover of Farz aur Pyar has 4 songs. Two solos by Vani Jairam, one duet by Surinder Kohli and Raj Farida and one solo by Mukesh. Only Mukesh’s solo in the EP disc is composed by the duo Surinder Kohli-Gurubachan. The rest of the 3 songs are composed by Surinder Kohli in his individual capacity. Further, HFGK lists another 3 songs in the film. One solo each by Mahendra Kapoor and Asha Bhosle and one duet by Rafi Saab and Asha Bhosle. HFGK further states that only the Mukesh solo and the duet of Rafi Saab and Asha Bhosle were composed by the duo.

The movie has a long list of actors such as Bharat Bhushan, Anjana, Satish Arora, Jagdeep, Mehmood Junior, Rita AnchanChandrashekhar and many others. It was produced by RKP films, Mumbai. The director of the film was Sudarshan Sharma who was also one of the main lyricist in the film. The producer was Roger D’Mello.

All this confusion galore seems to be justified if we look at the release date which was 5 years after Mukesh passed away in 1976. Along with the apology, I am taking advantage of this confusion and characterizing this song under a separate composer Surinder Kohli-Gurubachan.  I hope I am pardoned and considered justified in my approach. 🙂

Coming to the song itself, Mukesh is in his usual best. The voice captivates the mind and lingers for a long while. This does not seem to be unheard or a rare song, but then it’s relatively less heard. What is unheard is probably the short second part of the same song.

I am sure this film has a long and interesting tales of its making. When I referred this film to our Sudhir ji, he immediately replied that he has a copy of it. With such an instant recall, he must be in the know-how of many other aspects of this film. I request him to write more on this film. To me, what matters most is bringing to the fore the magical voice of Mukesh in as many songs that are available out there on the net.

I thank our Avinash ji in providing me more details of the film. He is another strong contender to pick up a song from the film. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the noble uploaders of the songs on the net.

So, as we continue to add more songs of Mukesh in his birth centenary year, lets enjoy the legendary voice in a relatively less heard song.

Hullo Atuldom

27th June – a favorite music director, singer and one-time actor would have turned 84. His name at birth was Rahul and his parents were Meera & Sachin Dev Burman. Yes, we are thinking of the music influencer who was active from the 1960s to the 1990s – Rahul Dev Burman who was also fondly addressed as Pancham.

He had music in his genes as his father was a well-loved composer and his mother was a Bengali singer and lyricist. It seems his first tunes were used in films as early as 1956/57. He was trained by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Pt Samta Prasad. He also considered Salil Chowdhury as his guru. He was an assistant to his father in films like ‘Chalti Ka naam Gaadi’ (1958), ‘Kaagaz Ke Phool’ (1959) and some more films before Mehmood signed him on for giving music to his home production ‘Chhote Nawab’ which released in 1961.

But why am I writing all these ? Which follower of Hindi Film music is not aware of Pancham Da’s background/ biography. We, the followers of HFM, also know that RD Burman has enriched close to 331 films with 1755 (approximately) songs. Of these, the blog has 811. That is we are halfway to having all songs composed by Pancham Da. We still have a huge library of songs to choose from for this post.

Today let us have a romantic song from the 1981 film ‘Love Story’. The film is produced  by Rajendra Kumar and jointly directed by him and Rahul Rawail. This was the launch vehicle for star-son Kumar Gaurav, with Vijayta Pandit as his co-star. Danny and Vidya Sinha played the girl’s parents while Rajendra Kumar played the boy’s father (Bina played the mother who dies during child birth). Amjad Khan, Aruna Irani, Gufi Paintal (he passed away recently, may his soul rest in peace) etc. formed the supporting cast. Anand Bakshi and RD Burman gave us some hummable songs which are popular to this day.

The post on the song “Dekho Maine Dekha Hai Ye Ik Sapna” by Nahmji gives more details of the movie, and it makes a good read.

Let us enjoy the song which falls under the ‘sulking-appeasing’ category. It has Lata Mangeshkar and Amit Kumar giving playback for the young couple.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————

Today 30th March’2023 is the twenty-first ‘Remembrance Anniversary’ of one of the most popular and prolific lyricist of Hindi Film Industry Anand Bakshi.

He was born on 21st July’1930 and he passed away on 30th March’2002.

As a tribute to him, today I am presenting a song written by Anand Bakshi from the movie ‘Krodhi-1981’.

‘Krodhi-1981’ was directed by Subhash Ghai for ‘Ranjit Films’. It was produced by Ranjit Virk.

It had Dharmendra, Shashi Kapoor, Zeenat Aman, Hema Malini, Sachin, Ranjeet, Premnath and Pran with Moushumi Chatterjee, Amrish Puri, Bharat Bhushan, Krishan Dhawan, A.K. Hangal, Sulochana Latkar, Iftekhar, Sudhir Dalvi, Jagdish Raj, Sudhir, Mac Mohan, Raj Mehra, Sajjan, Surendra Pal, Asit Sen, and P. Jairaj, Birbal, Brahmachari, Raju Shreshtha, C.S. Dubey, D.K. Sapru, Vimi and others.

Story of ‘Krodhi-1981’ was written by Subhash Ghai, while the screenplay for the movie was written by Nabendu Ghosh. Editing of this movie was done by the famous pair Gurudutt Shirali and Waman Bhonsle.

“Krodhi-1981” has five songs which were written by Anand Bakshi and music for this movie was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

Two songs from this movie have already been posted on the blog.

Today we present the third song from this movie which is sung by Manna Dey. Pran lip-syncs this song on screen which is a wonderful ‘bhajan’ or ‘devotional song’. We can also see Dharmendra, Sapru, Krishan Dhawan and many others in the picturisation of this song. This ‘bhajan’ is a ‘Raam bhajan’.

Incidentally today ‘Ram Navami’ is being celebrated in our country and on this occasion this song also serves as a purpose to offer our prayers to Lord Ram.

Let us listen to this soothing Ram bhajan.

With this song, we reach 100 song post mark in the blog in the month of March 2023.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————

A fortnight back, our ‘Sampaadak-Shri’ Shri Atul ji (if you are in Gujarat you will find this reference very common 🙂 ) posted a song for the ‘full moon occurrence’ which was on 06th January’2023. The song though appeared three days later on 09.01.2023. This song was ‘raat chaandni samay suhaana hai’ from the ‘1960’ movie ‘Basant’.

Today we have the ‘darkest night’ i.e. ‘amaavsya’ and I have a song for this occasion too :). I am presenting a song ‘celebrating the kaali raat’. That reminds me these lines ‘ab kisko kyaa milaa ye muqaddar ki baat hai’ from the song ‘ek chaand aasmaan pe hai’… 🙂

Let us come back to tonight’s post …

This song is a song that I got to listen to on radio in recent months. It sounded familiar, though I was not able to put a finger to it. Moreover I felt that the song may aready be there on the blog. But it was not. So the next step was to find out the details of the song, viz know the name of its movie. It turned out to be ‘Agent 009’. Many sources mentioned it as a movie of the year ‘1980’. However this movie is from the year ‘1981’.

Not just that, it turns out that this movie was again released in ‘1983’ with the title ‘Desh Shatru’, replacing the names of the producer-director-story writer of the earlier title ‘Agent 009’.

The movie “Agent 009” was directed by Chaand for ‘S.V.S. Films, Bombay’. And, the revised version ‘Desh Shatru-1983’ had Vijendra Mittal as director.

The star cast of this movie includes Rehana Sultana, Vijendra Mittal, Madhushala, Zareen, Padma Khanna, Bharat Kapoor, Gautam Bhatia, Manhar Desai, Maruti, Jagdish Raj, Mushtaq Merchant, G. Jilani, Vikas Anand, Nalini Singh, Shesh Chand, Suresh Garg, Vinod Kumar, Ramesh Goyal, S.P. Dubey, Manik, Ramkumar, Thapa, Khalil Khan, Sonam Randhawa, Amit Kumar, Ramesh Jindal, Thakurdas and others.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 10.07.1981, and with the new title ‘Desh Shatru’ it was passed by Censor Board on 12.04.1983.

According to HFGK Vol-VI (1981-1985) the revised version mentioned the name of the producer-director-writer of the movie as Vijendra Mittal.

Vijendra Mittal was also the lead actor of this re relaesed movie.

“Agent 009-1981/ Desh Shatru-1983” has four songs penned by four different lyricist viz. Verma Malik, Vishweshwar Sharma, Nandi Khanna and Pankaj Gyani.

Here is the list of songs this movie has.

Sr.No. Song Title Lyricist Singer/s
01 He aag lagaa di paani mein Verma Malik Kishore Kumar
02 Maharaja.., heera hoon kohinoor hoon main Nandi Khanna Dilraj Kaur
03 Sun mere Sai baba, Vishweshwar Sharma Chandrani Mukherjee
04 Teri umr ka saal badhha, ye raat matwaali hai … Pankaj Gyani Asha Bhonsle

Today I am presenting a song sung by Asha Bhonsle and composed by Sonik-Omi from this movie.
This song is a nice song to listen to. It seems to be a ‘party’ song , perhaps celebration a birthday as it mentions ‘teri umr ka saal badhha…’…

It is a celebration song, but it also contains words of caution…

Lekin…
Lekin …
Lekin kaali hai
(ye raat 🙂 )

… this song must be having some ‘mystery’ surrounding it 🙂 which we are not privy to.

Readers who have watched either of the movies ‘Agent 009/Desh Shatru’ may be able to tell us more …

I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs.

Let us enjoy this song sung by Asha Bhonsle and written by Pankaj Gyani.

Music (in ‘Pancham’ style) is by Sonik-Omi.

Only the audio of this song is available.

This movie ‘Agent 009-1981/Desh Shatru-1983’ makes their debut on the blog with this song. Also, I think that the lyricist Pankaj Gyani makes a debut as a lyricist on the blog. In the list of lyricist on the statistics page on the blog we have a name Pankaj only but not Pankaj Gyani.

(Note – HFGK mentions both the movies separately as per their year of release and with above information mentioned).

#the Decade of Seventies – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————
(Birth Anniversary – Rajkamal – A tribute)

Today 15th January’2023 is the ninety-fifth birth anniversary of Music Composer Rajkamal ji (born on 15th January 1928 – passed away on 1st September 2005).

Rajkamal has given timeless musical classics such as ‘Saawan Ko Aane Do-1979’, ‘Chashm –E-Buddoor’ to Hindi Film Industry and he also composed the music for B.R. Chopra’s ‘epic serial on TV’ – ‘Mahaabharat’.

He had also sung a few songs in Hindi movies. As a tribute to him on his birth anniversary we will listen to a song sung by him from the ‘1981’ movie ‘Akhand Saubhaagyawati’.

“Akhand Saubhaagyawati” was directed by Rakesh Nahta for ‘Dhwani Prakash, Bombay’. He was also the producer of this movie.

It had Reeta Bhaduri, Arvind Kumar, Kalpana Deewan, Chandrakant Pandya, Nalin Dave, Kanchan Mattu, Kamini Bhatiya, Krupadev Yanik, Javed Mishra, Chandrakant Thakkar, Vishnu Kumar Vyas, Master Bittoo and others.

HFGK Vol-VI (1981-1985) mentions in its foot note for this movie that as per Lyricist-Composer Keshav Rathod (Ahmedabad) this movie was originally made in Gujarati language with the title ‘Amar Rahe Taaro Chaandlo’. Its Hindi edition was made as ‘Akhand Saubhaagyawati’ with re-shooting the whole movie again.
This movie has five songs which were converted to Hindi by Pt. Narendra Sharma from the original songs in Gujarati by Keshav Rathod.

This movie ‘Akhand Saubhaagyawati’ was passed by Censor Board on 10.07.1981.

As mentioned above this movie has five songs written by Narendra Sharma and composed to music by Rajkamal.

Rajkamal himself, Hemlata, and Sushma Shreshtha had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

Today’s song is sung by Rajkamal.

Only the audio of this song is available now. And I guess that the video of this movie and its songs is not available as of now or I could not find them.

Let us now listen to the today’s song which is ‘ojha’ song and talks about the ‘jantar mantar’ by him.

I have not been able to note down correct words at many places and I would request knowledgeable readers to provide the correct words there. And also throw light on this movie and its songs.

With today’s song this movie ‘Akhand Saubhaagyawati-1981’ makes its debut on the blog.
