#Yippeeee to Aanchal-1980 #

In this post I am presenting a nice ‘morning’ /‘bhor’ song’ from the movie ‘Aanchal-1980’.

Picturisation shows a big house in a vilage where most of the main characters in the movie reside. Rakhee is lip syncing this good morning song in the voice of Lata Mangeshkar. Two decades ago, we had Meena Kumari lip syncing in Lata Mangeshkar’s voice another good morning song ‘jyoti kalash chhalke.’

Like what Meena Kumari was shown doing in that iconic “Bhaabhi Ki Choodiyaan”(1961) song, this “Aanchal”(1980) song shows Rakhee playing her role as an ‘ideal Bhaarteey Naari’ performing early morning household chores such as spraying water (mixed with ‘gobar’), ‘tulsi kee pooja’, feeding the birds, extracting water for household works from the pump, waking up other members of the household, preparing them for going to their work etc.

Today is the last day of the ten-day long ‘Durga Pooja Utsav’ or ‘Navraatree festival’ of this year 2025. The effigies of the demon Ravana are being burnt all over the country to celebrate the victory of Good over the evil. The ten day long staging of Ram Leela will also come to an end today.

Ram Leela is performed in many parts of our country. I was thinking of the past decades from the mid-eighties onwards and I realised that many changes have taken place in the presentation of Raamleelaa thanks to the advancement of technology with time. This can be noticed when the scene on the stage changes from one part to other, where the set up is required to be changed. In olden times the curtains were rolled down to change the backdrop of the characters performing on stage. My guess is that this would have undergone a sea change nowadays where we have technology to help us.

People born before nineties who would have attended Raamleelaa shows in their town or villages must have been witness to funny situations arising during the plays because of various reasons such as forgetting the dialogues, or disruptions due to sudden power-cut etc. These unplanned events during the show would have created situations of laughter and comedy for the audiences.

(Asha Bhonsle’s 92nd birthday 8th September 2025)

Today 8th September 2025 is the ninety-third birthday of legendary singer of Hindi Films – Asha Bhonsle. On this occasion we are celebrating her birthday by presenting some songs sung by her here on this blog. Though I had mentioned in my first post today that I will be sharing songs sung by Asha Bhonsle from different collaborations, songs presented by me form this post onwards will have the same composer viz. R.D. Burman with different lyricists. 🙂

In this post I am presenting a lesser heard song sung by Asha Bhonsle from the movie ‘Aanchal-1980’.

(12th Remembrance Anniversary Day of Rajesh Khanna – 18th July’2024)

Today 18th July 2024 is the ‘Twelfth remembrance’ anniversary of Rajesh Khanna. He was born on 29th December’1942 and he passed away on 18th July’2012.

On this occasion, as a tribute to him, here is a song from the movie ‘Aanchal-1980’. Regulars on this blog must have noticed that majority of the Rajesh Khanna songs from his earlier movies (1967-1976) were covered on this blog in the initial years of this blog. These song-posts then were read with much interest and some regular commentators would post their comments on these posts with passion. And why not, some of them were big fans of Rajesh Khanna. Among these regulars used to be one of our senior team-members Raja Saab. He also wrote many heartfelt posts on Rajesh Khanna on this blog. In recent years he has taken a break from writing on the blog, and I hope that and wish that he will make a comeback in future on the blog.

Today 27th June, 2022 is the eighty-third birth anniversary of Rahul Dev Burman. On our blog we already have few posts coming on this occasion. However, I was looking for a song written by Majrooh Sultanpuri who had a long association with RD Burman. Also, I wish that I should share a song sung by Kishore Kumar because the songs I shared for today didn’t have any Kishore Kumar songs.

So, here I am presenting a song from the 1980 movie ‘Aanchal’. And incidentally this happens to be a song picturized on Rajesh Khanna. I think this is a ‘bonus’ song for today’s celebration.

In Hindi movies, most songs are picturised on the lead actors. But then there are certain songs which are either background songs or songs picturised on lesser actors. These songs are often sung by part time singers who are better known for some other activities in movies. For instance, these singers may be better known as lyricists or music directors.
