‘Dahek’ (1999) was produced by Milan Jhaveri and was directed by Lateef Binny. The cast included Akshay Khanna and Sonali Bendre in the lead roles supported by Danny Denzongpa, Dalip Tahil, KK Raina, Anang Desai, Achala Sachdev, Anjana Mumtaz, Heena Qureshi, Achyut Potdar, Anil Nagrath, Rahul Singh etc. For both the producer, Milan Jhaveri and the director, Lateef Binny, this was their maiden film. According to director, Lateef Binny, the film took over 3 years to complete and another 2 years to get released.

Milan Jhaveri is the son of film financier, Chandrasen Jhaveri. After this film, he turned writer and director under a new name – Milap Milan Zaveri. He directed ‘Jaane Kahaan Se Aayi Hai’ (2010), ‘Mastizaade’ (2016), ‘Raakh’ (2016) and ‘Satyamev Jayate (2018). Lateef Binny came from the theatre background as an actor and director. He has assisted Rajkumar Santoshi for 8 years.

The film is about the inter-faith romance and the obstacle the boy and the girl faced from their family. The political and religious elements in both the religious groups create a divide between two communities even though the boy and the girl fall in love without the knowledge of the religion of each other. Their end is tragic. The gist of the film’s story is as under:

Sameer Roshan (Akshay Khanna), a Hindu and Neelima Bakshi (Sonali Bendre), a Muslim fall in love with each other when they first meet at the post office. They have a common interest in becoming the doctors. Their love is blossomed after they frequently meet, unmindful of their religion as their names are deceptive to get any clue to their respective religion. After a few meetings, they get to know each other’s religion and decide to break the relationship as their parent would not accept the marriage. However, they soon realise that they cannot live apart. They decide to get married.

Neelima is afraid to reveal her intention to her uncle Jabbar Bakshi (Danny Denzongpa), the head of the family. For, he is an orthodox Muslim who will not approve the marriage. Also, Jabbar has recently returned from jail after serving 12 years of imprisonment for killing the husband of his sister, Sabina (again the role played by Sonali Bendre) for marrying without his consent, even though her husband was a Muslim. Sameer’s father Bhushan (Dalip Tahil) has reservation about this marriage as he does not want a showdown with Jabbar.

Jabbar comes to know about Neelima’s affairs with Sameer. He is infuriated as Neelima is planning to get married to Sameer who is a Hindu. His attempt to get Neelima married to a Muslim boy proves futile. Having failed in his intimidating tactics with Sameer, Jabbar decides to get rid of both of them in the same way as he had done with his sister’s husband 12 years back for violating the family’s code of conduct. Jabbar’s younger brother Naseem (KK Raina) and Sameer’s father Bhushan mend ways  but Jabbar is adamant. Sameer and Neelima elope from the city to an unknown place.  The next morning, their elopement becomes the headline in the newspapers.

The elopement triggers the communal violence and riots turning the family issues into a political conspiracy by the interested groups. In the meanwhile, Jabbar is able to get the whereabouts of Sameer and Neelima and proceeds to kill them with a sword. Nassem, his younger brother, follows him to avoid the bloodshed. He tries to prevent Jabbar from killing them by his sword. But he is accidentally killed by Jabbar. Jabbar is arrested and put in the police custody. In the night when Sameer and Neelima come out from their hiding to meet each other, they are shot dead by those who are opposed to their relationship. The love story of Sameer and Neelima results in a tragic end.

The story of the film is contemporary and would have been great if it was handled better. It may be due to delay in the completion of the film as the director has limited options fulfilling his requirements in the delayed project. As a result, the film does not create an aura of sensitivity on the subject as it should have generated. Incidentally, the screenplay was written by the director himself. By the time the film was released, films with more or less similar theme, ‘Bombay’ (1994) and ‘Zakhm’ (1998) got released. The result was that ‘Dahek’ (1999) failed at the box office.

There are six songs in the film of which one song has two versions. The songs were written by Majrooh Sultanpuri (2), Dev Kohli (2), Madan Pal (1) and Shyam Raj (1). The songs written by Majrooh Sultanpuri were set to music by Anand-Milind. Rest of the 4 songs were composed by Aadesh Shrivastava.

I present the first song “Saawan Barse Tarse Dil” from the film to appear on the Blog to time with the Hindu calendar month of Saawan. The song is rendered by Hariharan and Sadhana Sargam which is written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and set to music by Anand-Milind.

The background of the song is that Sameer (Akshay Khanna) sends a letter to Neelima (Sonali Bendre) asking her for a date. Though it is raining, both set out from their respective houses and are determined reach their destination with whatever the mode of transport available. Sameer  travels even on road roller and handcart to finally reach their meeting point.

According to an article, ‘The Stories Behind Five of the Best Rain Songs in Hindi Cinema’ which appeared in scroll.in, the film’s director, Lateef Binny has been quoted as saying that the song under discussion was shot over three years and was shot all over Mumbai – in Goregaon, Andheri and South Mumbai. At the time of the shooting of the song, both Akshay Kumar and Sonali Bendre were newcomers. Being unrecognized faces, it was possible to shoot them in live rains in Mumbai. While Sonali Bendre did the shooting in the rains enthusiastically, Akshay Khanna was the reluctant participant. Nearly 70 percent of the song was shot in live rains, while the rest was shot indoor due to the delay by which time, the actors became the known faces.

This song reminds me of, more or less. a similar scene in the iconic rain song in Lata Mangeshkar’s version, “Rimjhim Gire Saawan Sulag Sulag Jaaye Mann” in ‘Manzil’ (1979).

सावन बरसे तरसे दिल
क्यों ना घर से निकले दिल
बरखा में भी दिल प्यासा है
ये प्यार नहीं तो क्या है
देखो कैसा बेक़रार
है भरे बाज़ार में
यार एक यार के इंतज़ार में

सावन बरसे तरसे दिल
क्यों ना घर से निकले दिल
बरखा में भी दिल प्यासा है
ये प्यार नहीं तो क्या है
देखो कैसा बेक़रार
है भरे बाज़ार में
यार एक यार के इंतज़ार में

एक मोहब्बत का दीवाना
ढूँढता सा फिरे
कोई चाहत का नज़राना
दिलरुबा के लिए
हो एक मोहब्बत का दीवाना
ढूँढता सा फिरे
(ढूँढता सा फिरे)
कोई चाहत का नज़राना
दिलरुबा के लिए
(दिलरुबा के लिए)
छम छम चले पागल पवन
आए मज़ा भीगे बलम
भीगे बलम
फिसले कदम
बरखा बहार में

सावन बरसे तरसे दिल
क्यों ना घर से निकले दिल
बरखा में भी दिल प्यासा है
(बरखा में भी दिल प्यासा है)
ये प्यार नहीं तो क्या है
(ये प्यार नहीं तो क्या है)
देखो कैसा बेक़रार
है भरे बाज़ार में
यार एक यार के इंतज़ार में

एक हसीना इधर देखो
कैसी बेचैन है
रास्ते पर लगे कैसे
उसके दो नैन हैं
एक हसीना इधर देखो
कैसी बेचैन है
(कैसी बेचैन है)
रास्ते पर लगे कैसे
उसके दो नैन हैं
(उसके दो नैन हैं)
सच पूछिए तो मेरे यार
दोनों के दिल बेइख्तियार
बेइख्तियार
हैं पहली बार
पहली बहार में

सावन बरसे तरसे दिल
क्यों ना घर से निकले दिल
बरखा में भी दिल प्यासा है
(बरखा में भी दिल प्यासा है)
ये प्यार नहीं तो क्या है
(ये प्यार नहीं तो क्या है)
देखो कैसा बेक़रार
है भरे बाज़ार में
यार एक यार के इंतज़ार में

सावन बरसे तरसे दिल
क्यों ना घर से निकले दिल
बरखा में भी दिल प्यासा है

Govind Nihalani joined Hindi film industry as a Cinematographer in 1974. In the initial period, he mainly worked with Shyam Benegal as a Cinematographer, both for his documentary and feature films. In 1980, he turned director and directed some socially relevant films such as ‘Aakrosh’ (1980), Vijeta (1982), ‘Ardha Satya’ (1983), ‘Aghaat’ (1985), ‘Drishti’ (1990), ‘Drohkaal’ (1994), ‘Hazaar Chauraasi Ki Maa’ (1998). Almost all his films, both as a Cinematographer and the Director were critically acclaimed.

With ‘Thakshak’ (1999), Govind Nihalani made his first attempt (and probably the last) in producing and directing a commercial genre of Hindi film, also called ‘the mainstream Bollywood’ film. In his interview held sometime in December 1999 which was published on the ‘Rediff On The Net’, Govind Nihalani revealed that Ajay Devgan was keen to work with him and he had a script ready to fit the role for him. Manmohan Shetty, who had produced some of Govind Nihalani offbeat films, was requesting him to make a film for the wider audience also. The eagerness of Ajay Devgan to work with him, getting Manmohan Shetty to finance the film and an opportunity to experiment with a different genre of film, prompted him to make ‘Thakshak’ (1999). Ajay Devgan and Tabu were the lead pair with Amrish Puri, Rahul Bose, Govind Namdev, Nethra Raghuraman, A K Hangal, Ravi Patwardhan, Uttara Baokar etc. in supporting roles.

As revealed by Govind Nihalani in a separate interview, producing and directing a commercial film was a new experience for him. His earlier films were made with a small budget, and he did not have the pressure of box office success. Hence, he made his earlier films without interference from any quarters. While making ‘Thakshak’, though he did not have any problem with his main actors, there were pressures from the distributors to make some changes in the script of the film with their own suggestions when they were shown the rushes of the film. That the film took 2 years to complete (as against his earlier films which he completed in less than one year) would indicate that he had to compromise on his script which Govind Nihalani had originally written.

I had not watched the film when it was released. In fact, I did not have any idea about the story of the film. The only thing I knew about the film at that time was a dance song picturised on Tabu which I liked and therefore had watched the song on TV music channels a few times. Sometime back, that dance song came back to my mind and I refreshed my memory by watching the video clip of the song. I liked the song so much that I marked in my mind to write an article on this song for the Blog. Subsequently, I also watched the film on You Tube.

‘Thakshak’ (1999) is a romantic crime thriller. The story of the film was in keeping with the socio-political situations in the country, particularly in Mumbai of Builders-Underworlds-politicians nexus. Ishaan (Ajay Devgan), is the son of Nahar Singh (Amrish Puri), the partner in the real estate business of Jodha Bhai (Ravi Patwardhan) who in reality is a gangster. Sunny (Rahul Bose), the grandson of Jodha Bhai and Ishaan are great friends. But their temperament is quite different. Sunny believes that the power flows from the barrel of a gun. Ishaan reminds him that that the one who thrives on the power of gun can also get killed by the same gun. The subtle temperament of Ishaan is further soften when he meets his lady love Suman (Tabu). The influence of Suman on Ishaan turns him to shed the violent life of the underworld to the decent life of a common man. But Ishaan is in dilemma as his oath of allegiance to Sunny to remain with him as his partner in crime and his conscious telling him to follow the life like a common man like his idealistic romantic partner, Suman. A further complications in these relationship – Ishaan and Sunny and Ishaan and Suman develops when Suman is the witness to the crime committed by Sunny in killing the owner of an old house to grab the plot where Ishaan is the partner in the crime. How the emerging situations themselves force Ishaan to come out of his moral obligations toward Sunny and follow the path of humanity is the finale of the film.

Now my 2 cents on the film. The story of a criminal trying to live a decent life like a common man has been tried in Hindi films many time. But in ‘Thakshak’, Govind Nihalani has given somewhat different treatment in that he has projected Ishaan caught in a moral dilemma of protecting his gangster friend, Sunny against whom his lady love, Suman has testified. The emotional upheaval Ishaan goes through has been well presented. All the three main actors – Ajay Devgan, Tabu and Rahul Bose have performed very well. However, the momentum of the story slows down due to 8 songs in the film most of which do not fit into the story of the film. Also, in my view, there was no need for the role of Nethra Raghuraman as a night club dancer on whom 2 songs have been picturised. I guess these are the additions which may have been suggested by the distributors. I feel that the story, screenplay, and dialogues with the exclusions of some songs and some unwarranted scenes would have turned the film into an absorbing thriller. Nonetheless, the film is interesting to watch at least once.

‘Thakshak’ (1999) has 8 songs, written by Mehboob (6) Sukhwinder Singh (1) and Sukhwinder Singh-Tejpal Kaur (1) which were set to music by A R Rahman. None of the songs has been represented on the Blog. I present the first song to appear on the Blog which is my most favourite song from the film. The song is ‘mujhe rang de range de mujhe rang de’ which is a semi-classical dance song. At the same time, the music composition sounds like that of a qawwali song.

The song is written by Sukhwinder Singh jointly with Tejpal Kaur and rendered by Asha Bhosle. There are some Punjabi words in the lyrics.

There is an interesting trivia as to how Sukhwinder Singh got to write this song as well as one more song for the film. He had come to ‘Chennai to meet A R Rahman for the first time. He was composing tunes for ‘Thakshak’ (1999). A R Rahman asked him whether he can write songs. Sukhwinder Singh promptly nodded and wrote the song under discussion. When Rahman asked him to pen one more song, Sukhwinder Singh told him that he has come to get some singing assignments from him. Rahman kept his promise and gave him to sing chal chhainyya chhainyya chhainyya chhainyya from ‘Dil Se’ (1998).[Source: The Asian Age, May 16, 2016].

While listening to this song, I felt that there is some spiritual feel in the opening lines of the songs as it is repeated several times. I remembered that Hazrat Amir Khusrow had written a Sufi Kalam, ‘mohe apne hi rang mein rang de’. This has become inspiration for some lyricists of Hindi films to include this spiritual element. One example is the song, o rangrez, tere rang dariya mein from ‘Bhaag Milka Bhaag’ (2013).

According to Sukaina Nagpal, the song was choreographed by her mother, Saroj Khan. [Source: Rediff interview appeared on July 3, 2020]. It is a 7+ minutes dance song picturised on Tabu who is not a trained dancer. Yet, she has performed the dance gracefully. The confidence of the Choreographer in the dancing ability of Tabu can be judged from the fact that she was covered in mid-shot frame to capture her hand gestures, expressions, and steps most of the time. Some of her shots were of longer durations, which is possible only when it is picturised on a trained dancer. Note Tabu’s expression and hand gestures at 5:36-5:42 in line with the lyrics. Probably, she must have toiled a lot during the rehearsals. All the supportive dancers did very well in synchronization of dancing steps as well as expressions and gestures. For example, watch 3:52 – 4:22 of the video clip. This is, in my view, one of the best dances choreographed by Saroj Khan in Hindi films.

I think after S D Burman, A R Rahman is one among the current music directors who is expert in picking the right playback singer suitable to his style of songs. In this film, he has used Hema Sardesai, Sujata Trivedi, and Alisha Chinoy among female playback singers for other songs. It is said that A R Rahman selects a playback singer only after he has composed the tune and the music for a song. His musical compositions decide the playback singer. For the song under discussion, he has used Asha Bhosle’s voice. And it turned out to be the right choice. Note how Asha Bhosle takes the octave leap from lower to higher pitch effortlessly. Towards the end of the song, her aalaaps are mesmerising. The song ends with Tabu going into a trance true of a Sufi singing.

Lastly, I must make a special mention of the flute interlude in the song from 2:58 to 3:34. I guess, it was played by Flautist, Naveen Kumar who has been continuously associated with A R Rahman since ‘Roja’ (1992) until he moved to Mumbai in 2003. Thereafter, Naveen Kumar played flute for A R Rahman, albeit occasionally.

I can watch the video clip of this song umpteen time because all those who are associated with song have done exceedingly well to make it a classic dance song.

A. R. Rehman – The musician of 21st century – 2
————————————————————–

64th Birthday of Kavita Krishnamurthy
——————————————————————

Once upon a time, in our office, the crowd was more interfering in each other’s lives. There would be judgmental comments about each other, if someone works very hard, there was gossip about them. If someone is not very hard working there would be gossip and snide comments about them. 90’s and early 2000’s was a time when all had more time to bother about other people. Interference is one way to look at it. We were in one corner of Mumbai, and there were very few people who travelled long distances to arrive, and most of us were from nearby areas. There was less of anonymity or disregard of big city atmosphere. Come to think of it, most of us used to think of the office as a second home. As the working day would be full of work, talking to people and friends. We were more open to all sort of talk, discussions and even gossip. The office building would be like a small village, where everyone knew everything about everyone. That was an atmosphere, where, every new day was a new beginning. And come weekend, we would be full of plans for the next week. On Monday, we will do this or start on that work.

I don’t know, it feels as if things have gradually changed over the decades. Now every Friday, most of us actually feel joy that there will be no office for 2 days. Long weekend is more joyous, we all wish each other happy weekend. Whereas earlier it was, ‘see you on Monday’.
There was no A.C. in the office, nor fancy blinds or fancy name plates on the cabins, not much eating out and very few snack parties. But those were the happier days. Today, I have more money to spend, more authority to assert, freer to shop what ever the sales persons bring to sell, more snacks and lunch to order from outside eateries, as the office canteen is still is very bad. But the comradery of old days is absent. For sure, not all is ingenuine, but still the happiness quotient is gone. Or maybe I am simply bored.

Yeah, change is a part of life. Colleagues and friends of the older generation have all retired. Some of the dear friends have moved away, or transferred to different places. One corner of Mumbai has begun to feel and behave like a city. I am ready to admit, that I may have also changed. As we mature, it brings a certain discretion, in how we deal with new people. What was working and meeting with other people, has now become more of a dealing with people. Or having learnt from so many experiences, I have learnt to have superficial contact with people. I thought being superficial is just not my nature. But recently, I am introspecting, that maybe I have become like everyone else. Not a good sight.

I have seen some people in my life, and every time I have resolved, never to be like them. Some times we encounter people with really ugly mindset. I have a friend, who would always be looking for excuses, why certain person behaves like that, or has such type of manner. For a longish time, I also tried to look the other way, whenever such ugliness showed its face. I became so adept at ignoring things, that it would take a new person coming into the set up and that person would show me with examples, that such and such things are happening and I am not even aware. So, this was actually a sort of tuning out, from the atmosphere, so the bad things are totally ignored.

The reason I went into the flashback and into those good old days is the song from the film ‘Taal’. In early 2000’s we used to have lot of extra curricular activities in the office. One of the favourite events was ‘antakshari’. In one of those competitions, I had my friend as my partner. This one was a serious competition, very serious with all the contestants very keen to win. The hosts had done lot of hard work, to prepare for the tough rounds. One such tough rounds were picking up chits of a set of words, and recognize the song, which I found to be very easy. We did very well in that round. We did well in the round for recognizing the mukhda from the stanza also. Then there was the round of ‘dumb-charade’ where the chit was for movie name. My partner, picked up the chit and it was ‘Taal’. She made the suitable ‘Taal’ action and I knew the name. But unfortunately, I could not sing any song, none would come to mind. Both me and my friend were repeating ‘taal se taal milaa’, but that is not mukhda. So, we lost those crucial points, despite recognizing so many of the songs in stanza/mukhda round and the ‘set of word’ round, we finished second.

The movie ‘Taal’ was produced and directed by Subhash Ghai, who celebrated his birthday on 24/01/2022. Now it is the birthday of Kavita krishnamurthy today, so the second version is by Kavita Krishnamurthy and Sukhwendra Singh with Chorus. First version is actually a group song, which has Sonu Nigam with ARR, Anuradha Sriram, and Sujata Mohan. This song has long been in the list of Sonu Nigam songs, which I want to post. No better occasion, then Kavita Krishnamurthy’s birthday and post no. two of series on ARR. The Kavita Krishnamurthy version is listed as a separate song actually, but the same mukhda of first version is part of this song too, so it is a version song. The songs are picturized on Aishwarya Rai, Anil Kapoor and Akshaye Khanna.

Those were cable TV days, so I have seen this movie on cable TV. Some Sundays were spent watching movies on cable TV, 2-5 and then 6-9 shows. They would show the newer movies at 11-2 also sometimes. Like all Subash Ghai movies, this was also a musical, teaming up with ARR for the first time, who teamed up with Anand Bakshi as lyricist for the first time. I find this score of a purely hindi film much more attractive then, the dubbed songs in Mani Ratnam films.
More on ARR in coming posts, so we can listen to this wonderful sufiana/situational song.

Total upto 1999 1864 movies 3741 5200 3371 1496 213 120

It can be seen from the table of 1999 that Lata Mangeshkar sang 14 songs in 7 movies released in 1999.

Two songs sung by Lata Mangeshkar in movies of 1999 have been covered in the blog. So 12 songs from 7 movies of 1999 sung by Lata Mangeshkar are yet to be covered in the blog.

Alphabetically “Dulhan Banoon Main Teri”(1999) is the first movie of 1999 that offers us a Lata Mangeshkar song to be covered in the blog.

“Dulhan Banoon Main Teri”(1999) was produced and directed by B Subhash. The movie had Faraz Khan (Late), Deepti Bhatnagar, Kashmira Shah, Johny Lever, Dilip Tahil, Pramod Moutho, Arun Bakshi, Vishwajit Pradhan, Anil Nagrath, Beena, Raj Kiran, Johny Whisky, Madhu Malti, Babban Lal, Sheetal, Dhirendra, Anand Jog, Madhu Acharya, Deep Dhillon, Subhash Rajpoot, Satyam Chauhan, Sheeba Bhakri, Vicky Borade, Geeta, Karan Verma(child artiste), Ajit Srivastava, Roop gagan Kang, Ajit Kumar, Vinny Kumar, Vivek Pande etc in it.

The movie had 9 songs in it. One song had the voice of Lata Mangeshkar in it.

Here is that one song from the movie.

This song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar, Udit Narayan, Vinod Rathod and chorus. Dev Kohli is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ram Laxman.

Only the audio of the song seems to available. A video (apparently fake) is in circulation, so that does not count.

The audio is more than ten minutes long. Prakashchandra, who sent the lyrics as well as other details, guesses that this song was picturised on Deepti Bhatnagar, Faraaz Khan(Late) and Vishwajeet Pradhan.
PS;THe video, whose link was pointed out by Mahesh Mamadapur, shows that the song is picturised on Deepti Bhatnagar and Faraaz Khan.

With this song, the movie makes it’s debut in the blog.

Hullo Atuldom

10th September 2021 is actually 19th day of the Bhadrapada month in the Vikrama Nama Samvat of the Hindu Calendar. It is the 4th day after the Amavasya or the New Moon. This day is very special as it is the day when the devout Hindus pray to the elephant-headed God Ganesha.

This is one festival that is celebrated through the country calling it Vinayaka Chaturthi in South India and Ganesh Chaturthi in the rest of the country. But the Lord worshipped and adored is the same and the offerings and prasad are basically the same. The flowers that are usual are the Hibiscus and the Marigold. Leaves of tender Banana plant are used to decorate the puja stands and mango leaf garlands adorn the doorways to homes. The most relevant flower or plant used to worship Lord Ganesha is said to be the Durva Grass. It is said that once while fighting a demon, Ganesha ended up swallowing him. This gave him a burning sensation in the stomach. When all else failed a group of sages placed a bunch of 21 Durva grass on him and he felt better. Another story says that Lord Ganesha suffered from a burning sensation after being cursed by a celestial woman. He became a recipient of the bane after rejecting her marriage proposal. Therefore, to rid himself of the discomfort and agony, Lord Ganesha placed a few strands of the Durva on his head. But Durva Grass is one of the offerings
Another common factor in the worship of Ganesha is the Modak – a sweet preparation made variously with Rice flour exterior and a filling made of coconut which is sweetened mostly with jaggery as in some parts of the country. Modak made from thickened milk (khova) and flavoured with saffron and cardamom are also offered specially in the Sarvajanik Ganesh Mandals. We in South India also have a savoury variation of the Modak. There is a story associated with Ganesha’s love for the Modak. Devi Parvati- the mother of Shri Ganesh and Shri Kartikeya- gave a modak to the two brothers. But both didn’t feel like sharing it with the other. So, as a way to decide who will get it, the mother asked her sons to take three rounds of the world and the winner would get the modak. Kartikeya promptly set off on his Peacook to abide with what his mother had said. Ganesha won the modak by taking three rounds of his parents as they meant the world for him. Such is the love that the lord has for the humble Modak.

As a child I used to visit my neighbour’s home when they brought beautiful clay idols of the god. That aunty taught me and other kids of the apartment all the associated aartis and bhajans which have been handed down from generations. Personally, I have no idea of who the original writers were but I keep seeing them used in films too, down the years. And each film credits a different writer as being the lyricist. Like for example, I found a movie called “Jai Ganesh” (1977) which credited “Sukhakarta dukharta varta vighnanchi” to Bharat Vyas and Visweswar Sharma. And I always thought it was a traditional aarthi; of course closer inspection brought out Hindi words and the original was possibly in Marathi. (I could be wrong about all of this though) I have myself shared two Ganesh aarathis on the blog which were credited to Mayur Puri (Riddhi siddhi vridhhi hoti) and Amitabh Bhattacharya (Deva shree Ganesha). These two displayed the feelings of the on-screen characters and relied of the original aarathi towards their end.

Today’s song is a Ganesh aarati with all the words as I have learnt it but Sameer is credited as lyricist. Music is by the duo Jatin-Lalit and is from the 1999 release “Vaastav”.

The movie had a cast headed by Sanjay Dutt, with Namrata Shirodkar, ,Mohnish Behl, Aarti Behl (also known as Ekta Behl), Reema Lagoo, Shivaji Satam, Sanjay Narvekar, Deepak Tijori, Paresh Rawal, Mohan Joshi, Ashish Vidyarthi, Himani Shivpuri etc. It was directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, produced by Sanjay Nikalje, had music by Jatin Lalit, Atul Ranade and Rahul Ranade. The movie won Sanjay Dutt a filmfare award for best actor for playing ‘an easy-going guy to a broken man’. ‘Vaastav’ had a tagline ‘The Reality’ and tried to depict the harsh realities of life in he Mumbai underworld. It also had a few good songs.

Today’s song happens just when the boys of the chawl have found that they have been used for personal gains by the underworld don, home minister etc. Raghu (Sanjay Dutt) finds out from the friendly inspector Kishore Kadam (Deepak Tijori) orders have been issued to eliminate them as they have become a thorn in the flesh of those who used them. The movie ends with Reema Lagoo shooting her (like Nargis in ‘Mother India’).

Let us welcome our ‘Pyara Ganpati/ Ganesh/ Vinayak… Ganpati Bappa…. Morya!!!!!!

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Taal’ which was released in ‘1999’.

I was staying at Bareilly (1998-2004) at that time. I remember to have watched this movie with my family and enjoyed it a lot. I liked it so much that I watched this movie twice. First time with my office colleague and second time with my family. I liked this movie and specially its music too. As was usual for a Subhash Ghai movie, this movie too had a good music scored by A.R. Rehman (who was collaborating with Subhash Ghai for the first time).

‘Taal-1999’ was Subhash Ghai’s home production and it was distributed under his company ‘Mukta Arts’ and ‘Tips International’.

Subhash Ghai was the producer and director of this movie. He co-authored writing with Javed Siddiqui (dialogues), and in writing screenplay with Sachin Bhowmick.

Story of this movie was written by Subhash Ghai.

The star-cast of this movie included Anil Kapoor, Aishwarya Roy, Akshay Khanna, Amrish Puri, Alok Nath, Jividha Ashta, Mita Vashisht, Saurabh Shukla, Supriya Karnik, Prithvi Zutshi, Manoj Pahwa, Rajesh Khera, Bobby Darling, and many others.

This movie had twelve soundtracks including ten songs and two instrumental tracks. Lyrics for this movie were written by Anand Bakshi and music was composed by A.R. Rehman.

The music of this movie was well appreciated and successful.

Today’s song is sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Alka Yagnik. On screen Alok Nath lip-syncs in Sukhwinder Singh’s voice and Aishwarya Roy lip syncs in Alka Yagnik’s voice.

10th July 2021 was the sixty-fifth birthday of actor Alok Nath (born on 10th July’1956). We all know him as an established character actor and the various roles he had enacted in the Hindi movies. He made his film debut with 1982 English movie “Gandhi” directed by Richard Attenborough. Later on, he went to act in many ‘TV Soaps’ and Hindi movies. His notable works came in Rajshri Productions’ ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya-1989’, ‘Ham Aapke Hain Kaun-1994’ and ‘Ham Saath Saath Hain-1999’.

On this blog we belatedly wish Alok Nath a very happy birth anniversary and a healthy and peaceful life ahead.

To mark this occasion, we listen to today’s song.

But before that, we also wish the singer of today’s song i.e., Sukhwinder Singh a very happy birthday on 18th July.

Sukhwinder Singh was born on 18th July’1971 (18.07.2021 will be his fiftieth birthday). He belongs to Amritsar Punjab. He started his musical career by releasing a Pop song album in Punjabi. Later on, he joined Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s troupe and also got an opportunity to sing under them for the movie ‘Khilaaf-1991’. He went on singing in some other movies which got unnoticed till he sung the song ‘Chhaiyya Chhaiyya’ in the 1998 movie ‘Dil-Se’. That also brough him his first ‘Filmfare Award’.

After ‘Chhaiyya Chhaiyya’ he became a household name. And with ‘Jai-Ho’ in the 2008 movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ Sukhwinder Singh got an international acclaim. He has also sung in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, and Urdu languages other than Hindi and Punjabi language.

Let us now enjoy today’s wonderful song composed by A.R. Rehman from the movie ‘Taal-1999’.

As mentioned above today’s song is sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Alka Yagnik. Lyrics are by Anand Bakshi and music is composed by A.R. Rehman.

With today’s song the movie ‘Taal-1999’ makes its debut on the blog.

Over to the song now …

This is the last song and culmination of a short series of posts about inspired/copied songs. The team of creators of this song from Sangharsh(1999) is Jatin-Lalit, Sameer and Sonu Nigam. This inspiration behind this song is the OPN song from “Ek Musaafir Ek Hasina”.

This is the list of the five songs posted so far in this series:

Song Posted on
Tu meri zindagi hai 21 Sep 2020
Bhoori bhoori aankhon waala ek ladka hai 28 Sep 2020
Love ki ghanti baj gayi meri 28 Sep 2020
Raaja ko raani se pyaar ho gaya 1 Oct 2020
Saathiya tu mere sapnon ka meet hai 6 Oct 2020

Before internet and Youtube, it may have been easy to simply copy or lift a song created by someone else and pass it off as your own. Lay persons who are not actually conversant with music and composition process would not be able to find a link.

There is the famed instance of Madan Mohan doing this sort of thing, and using the tune from Sajjad Hussain’s “Sangdil” song “Ye hawa ye raat ye chaandni”, for his song “Tujhe kya sunaaun main dilruba” in “Aakhri Daao” (1958). In fact Madan Mohan went on to use the same tune for the song “hai isi mein pyar ki aabroo” in Anpadh (1962).

In fact, the tune is also very similar for this ghazal rendition in Laal Qila.

Coming back to the song from Sangharsh(1999), the singer Sonu Nigam is trying to sing the style of Kishore Kumar, which he does in many songs, but here the precedent is a Rafi rendition. It appears to a deliberate attempt to make the song sound different from the “Ek Musafir Ek Haseena” song.

I have seen this movie on cable TV, so can try to give a bit of the background. It was about the horrors of ‘child sacrifice’ and black magic like issues that are a part of ancient dogmas prevalent in some parts. Practices like child sacrifice for attaining immortality. Ashutosh Rana played the character of the tantric/fanatic, which is looking to sacrifice a particular child of certain physical attributes, at a particular time and hour determined by some principles of black magic on a full moon night. The takeaway of the film was Ashutosh Rana’s performance as the tantric.

Priety Zinta is a police officers who is assigned to solve this case of case of saving the child kidnapped by the tantric.

Akshay Kumar is a professor in jail, the crime is unclear. Priety Zinta needs Akshay’s help to solve the case and save the child from being sacrificed.

The topic was certainly unique, never dealt before in hindi films. Priety Zinta visits Akshay Kumar in jail and he manages to spook her so much that she calls her friend Aman Verma in Delhi to share her fear and insecurity. Aman Verma is trying to reassure her divert her attention from her fears of past and present by singing this song on the phone.

So this is a phone song too. The funny part is Aman Verma’s phone goes dead while is song is still going on, he goes to a public phone booth to complete the song. Complete it does, with the donkeys surrounding the phone booth 🙂 🙂

This is Gulzar !

— KITAABEN —

Kitaaben jhaankti hain band almaari ke sheeshon se
badi hasrat se takti hain
mahinon ab mulaqaaten nahin hotin
jo shaamen unn ki sohbat mein kata karti thhin, ab aksar
guzar jaati hain computer ke pardon par
badi bechain rehti hain kitaaben
unhen ab neend mein chalne ki ‘aadat ho gayi hai

badi hasrat se takti hain
jo qadren wo sunaati thhin
ke jin ke cell kabhi marte nahin thhe
wo qadren ab nazar aati nahin ghar mein
jo rishte wo sunaati thhin
wo saare udhde udhde hain

koyi safha palat-ta hoon to ik siski nikalti hai
kayi lafzon ke ma’ani gir pade hain
bina patton ke sukhe tund lagte hain vo alfaaz
jin par ab koyi ma’ani nahin ugte
bahut se istelaahen hain
jo mitti ki sakoron ki tarah bikhri padi hain
gilaason ne unhen matruk kar daala

zaban par zaiqa aata thha jo safhe palatne ka
ab ungli click karne se bas ek
jhapki guzarti hai
bahut kuchh tah-ba-tah khultaa chalaa jaata hai parde par
kitaabon se jo zaati raabta thha kat gayaa hai
kabhi seene pe rakh ke let jaate thhe
kabhi godi mein lete thhe
kabhi ghutnon ko apne rehal ki soorat bana kar
neem sajde mein padha karte thhe, chhute thhe jabeen se
wo saara ilm to milta rahegaa ‘aayinda bhi
magar wo jo kitaabon mein milaa karte thhe sookhe phool aur
mehke huey ruq’ae
kitaaben maangne, girne utthaane ke bahane rishte bante thhe
unn ka kya hogaa
wo shayad ab nahin honge !

—– GULZAR

I think the above poem is enough as introduction and ta’aruf of Gulzar Sahab.
Faced with such ‘qalaam’, what does it matter when and where he was born. Yes, Gulzar sahab has turned 86 today. May he live to be 186 or more, as long as he creates such ‘naayab nageene’ as nazmen and naghme.

— Urdu zabaan —-

Ye kaisa ishq hai urdu zaban kaa,
mazaa ghultaa hai lafzon ka zuban par
ki jaise paan mein mehenga qimaam ghultaa hai
ye kaisa ishq hai urdu zaban kaa….

nasha aataa hai urdu bolne mein
gilauri ki tarah hain munh lagi sab isltelaahen
lutf deti hai, halaq chhooti hai urdu to,
halaq se jaise mai ka ghunt utarta hai

badi aristocracy hai zaban mein
faqeeri mein nawaabi ka mazaa deti hai urdu
agarche ma’ani kam hote hain urdu mein
alfaaz ki ifraat hoti hai

magar phir bhi buland awaaz padhiye
to bohat hi mu’atabar lagti hain baaten
kahin kuchh dur se kaanon mein padhti hai agar urdu
to lagtaa hai ke din jaadon ke hain khidki khuli hai,
dhoop andar aa rahi hai

ajab hai ye zaban urdu
kabhi kahin safar karte agar koyi musaafir
sher padh de ‘mir’, ‘ghalib’ ka
wo chaahe ajnabi ho,
yahi lagtaa hai wo mere watan ka hai
badi sha’ista lehje mein kisi se urdu sun kar
kya nahin lagtaa ki ek tehzeeb ki awaaz hai urdu.

—– GULZAR ——-

How true the above thoughts are, so inherently accurate for urdu, the spoken language.

Thanks dear ‘Peevesie’s Mom’, for reminding me of Gulzar Sahab birthday and this movie ‘Hu Tu Tu’ and its deeply meaningful songs, written by Gulzar sahab.
Also a well composed and picturised song. Composer is Vishal Bharadwaj and singers are mainly Lata Mangeshkar and Hariharan. There are more voices singing some goan rhythm at the start and koli folk song in the middle.

But the star of the show is Gulzar sahab’s unmatched poetry.

Hullo Atuldom

At the outset I must admit that I am a little confused as I write this post. The person/ celebrity/ actress/ star for whose birthday this is, has aged gracefully and looks fabulous even now. But I am confused about her year of birth. When I wrote this post Phir Bhor Bhayee Jaaga Madhuban in 2018 I found information on various sites on the internet by which I had mentioned that she was turning 64. Over the last few weeks I am finding information by which she would be 74 this year. Can a person age 10 years in two years?

Let me explain. In the past few weeks, during this lockdown, one of the satellite channels, showed an old episode of one their dance reality shows where Bindu and Aruna Irani were guests of honour (found out today that they are cousins). This must have been one of the episodes which was originally telecast in the last two years. And I told my husband (bless him for enduring all these re-runs with me) that Bindu turns 69 this year and Aruna Irani is a few years younger and how well she has looked after herself and maintained herself. Then as I was googling to confirm the dates of birth of the two, I was surprised to see that the year of birth is given as 1946. Anyways there is a saying “not to ask a lady her age and a man his wage.” So, let us just wish our dear Aruna Irani a very Happy and healthy life.

She has had along wait before she could settle in life with a man who loved her. She made her debut in movies at a young age of 8 or 9 playing the young Azra in “Gunga Jamuna”. She had to give up on schooling so that she could help support the family which had financial problems and could not educate all eight children. I find that this is the story of many actors of that time. Her father was an Irani and mother a Hindu. Her brothers Indra Kumar (who made the Aamir Khan Madhuri Dixit starrer DIL), Adi Irani (plays mainly character roles in movies and television), Firoz Irani (also an actor. producer, writer, director) are all well settled in the entertainment industry and she has had a major hand in setting them up.

She claims that she was a bad dancer who learnt dancing on-the-job. We have seen her comic side in movies where she had paired with Mehmood in the 70s and later in movies where she was with Asrani and Kadar Khan. She was the topmost actress in Gujarati movies even as she played supporting characters in Hindi, Marathi, Kannada etc. I remember seeing her in the Tamil remake of “Deewar” essaying the same mujra as she had done in Hindi- the song “koi mar jaaye kisi pe yeh kahan dekha hai”. She has produced and directed a few serials and acted in them too.
Today, for her birthday we will be seeing her as a not-so-young bua to Karisma Kapoor and Pooja Batra who are elated that she has finally found someone and likes him enough to think of marrying him. The song is at the engagement of the bua with Pooja’s fiance’s (Sanjay Dutt) uncle/ chachaji Rai Bahadur (Govinda). This movie has the two heroes trying to woo the heroines only Govinda has to double up as chacha and bhatija. In the process, before the niece the bua gets wooed.

The song is from David Dhawan directed “Haseena Maan Jaayegi” (1999) which had Anupam Kher playing the father of the girls, Kadar Khan played father of the boys. A part of the movie is inspired by “Pyaar Kiye Jaa” and we have Govinda donning a grey wig and beard and playing his own chacha. Paresh Rawal, Ashish Vidyarthi adding spice to this all round comedy.

The song is in the voices of Sonu Nigam, Kavita Krishnamurthy and Ravi Shankar (hearing this name for the first time). Anu Malik is the music director and Sameer the lyrics in-charge.

Lyrics

aaaaa aaaaaa
aaaaa oooooo

rab ne bhi khoob jodi haye
rab ne bhi khoob jodi banaayi hai janaab
dulha bhi laajawaab hai
dulhan bhi laajawaab
rab ne bhi khoob jodi banaayi hai janaab
rab ne bhi khoob jodi banaayi hai janaab
dulha bhi laajawaab hai
dulhan bhi laajawaab
dulha bhi lajawaab hai
dulhan bhi lajawaab

ni sa sa re sa sa

ni sa sa re sa sa
ga sa sa re sa sa
pa pa pa ma ma ma
ga ga ga re re
ma ma ma
ga ga ga re re re sa

dulha hai laal peda
dulhan hai rasmalai
dulhe ne aise dekha
dulhan ko sharm aayi

besharm choodiyon se
aati hai ye sadayein
na der kar o dulhe
jaldi se tham baahein

dulha jo chale tan ke
dulhan ki choodi khanke
dono ka milan hoga
lagta hai aaj jam ke
dulhan chunar ke peeche
sharmaake chupti jaaye
dulhe ki nazar se woh
lagta hai bachhti jaaye
ho oo
honthon pe halka halka
honthon pe halka halka
aane laga hai jaam
dulha bhi lajawaab hai
dulhan bhi lajawaab

dulha bhi lajawaab hai
dulhan bhi lajawaab

baaghon mein bhi na hoga
koi gulaab aisa
dulhe pe aaj dekho
aaya shabab kaisa

foote hai dil me laddu
armaan machal rahe
pyaasi jawaaniya hai
tan man pighal rahe hai

haaaaaan haaaaaye ae ae ae
haw haw haw haw
haw haw hawww
kaisa hai haal mera
yaaron mai kya bataaoo
maare khushi ke dekho
paagal na main ho jaaoon
kaajal se rang kaala
jaa ke zara churaalo
logo buri nazar se
mujhko zara bachha lo

hooo
poori huyi tamanna aaaa hoo
poori hui tamanna
sach ho gaye hai khwaab
dulha bhi lajawaab hai
dulhan bhi lajawaab

dulha bhi lajawaab hai
dulhan bhi lajawaab

rab ne bhi khoob jodi banayi hai janaab
rab ne bhi khoob jodi banayi hai janaab
dulha bhi lajawaab hai
dulhan bhi lajawaab
dulha bhi lajawaab hai
dulhan bhi lajawaab

dulha bhi lajawaab hai
dulhan bhi lajawaab
dulha bhi lajawaab hai
dulhan bhi lajawaab

aaaa aaaaaaaa
