In Hindi film industry, there are a large number of artists and technicians whose hard work contributes to the making of films. But a vast majority of them remain unknown to public at large. For example, if I want to know as to who played a particular musical instrument in prelude, interlude, or postlude music of a song which I liked, there is no way to know the names of the musicians in the film as they were not credited in the films’ credit rolls until the recent times.

In this article, I am presenting an unknown artist who was connected with the Hindi film music for nearly 5 decades. Most of us would have appreciated his works in Hindi film songs without knowing his identity because he had never been credited in the films. He is the man behind almost all the whistles one hears in many songs since 1974. He has played whistles in over 1600 films – both in the songs as well as a part of background music. There are some songs in which his whistling is remembered, like do deewaane ek shahar mein – Gharonda (1977), so gaya ye jahaan so gaya aasmaan – Tezaab (1982), ilu ilu – Saudaagar (1991), sapne mein milti hai – Satyaa (1998), chaand sifaarish jo karta hamaari – Fanaa (2008) and over one thousand more. He was a low-profile artist until the on-line media in the recent times made him known to the public. His name is Nagesh Surve.

A question that comes to my mind is what is so special about whistling by Nagesh Surve which other whistlers do not have. The answer is first, Nagesh Surve can whistle in accordance with the musical notations given by the music directors. Second, he has a God-given gift on his control over the breathing and pushing out the correct air pressure while whistling to generate variations to the sound of whistle as required without breaking the sound. Lastly, he is a Sangeet Visharad from Bhatkhande School of Music which gives him an added advantage of whistling as per the tenets of music. It is for these reasons that Nagesh Surve had almost monopoly in Hindi film music circles as a whistler since 1974 until his daughter, Rupali Surve has emerged as a professional whistler in Hindi film music in recent times.

The life-sketch of Nagesh Surve is not only interesting but it is a role model for those who wish to pursue a vocation in which one is seriously interested. Born in 1949 on Naag Panchami day (hence the name, Nagesh) in Shivaji Park area of Mumbai, his father was working in the secretariat of then Bombay State while his mother was a school teacher. None of his family members had any background of music. Nagesh was blessed with the neighborhood of persons in the music field. Pandit Ramprasad Sharma and music director, Vasant Prabhu stayed in his neighbouring buildings. Vasant Desai stayed on the third floor of his school building who would be ‘in-house’ guest at school functions. V D Savarkar who stayed in an adjoining building of the school used to visit his school for chatting with the students. At that time, Nagesh did not know much about Veer Savarkar. It was very much later he came to know that he had spent some time of his childhood with a great freedom fighter.

Nagesh used to visit Pandit Ramprasad Sharma’s house quite often to meet Pyarelal and his brothers with whom he used to play cricket. He observed that there were a good number of children who came to learn violin from him. Nagesh also join them and learnt violin from Pandit Ramprasad Sharma. Due to injury to his ring finger, Nagesh had to give up playing violin for a couple of years during which he learnt Sitar. During his school days, Nagesh often used to visit Shri Sound Studio where his classmate’s father used to work. His interest in music started with learning from Pandit Ramprasad Sharma. The frequent visits to Shri Sound Studio attracted him to the world of Hindi film music. He dreamt of becoming a music director.

After completing matriculation, Nagesh joined Bhavan’s College with music as his main subject. The college’s music faculty was attached to Bhatkhande Music University, Lucknow. Nagesh completed his Sangeet Visharad and joined as a violinist with Shankar-Jaikishan. Thereafter, he worked mostly as a free-lancer, working with Shankar-Jaikishan, S D Burman, R D Burman, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Rajesh Roshan, Anand-Milind, Jatin-Lalit etc, playing mostly Sitar and Violin. Sometime, he had also played Taar Shehnai, for example, in ‘Chaandni’ (1989).

There is an interesting trivia as to how Nagesh became a professional whistler in the Hindi film songs. One day, a song recording session was cancelled. So, all the musicians and the arranger, Kishore Sharma who had assembled in the recording studio, decided on an impromptu picnic to Aarey Colony. All were walking in Aarey forest when Kishore Sharma, the music arranger with Kanu Roy heard Nagesh whistling. He found uniqueness in his whistling. He immediately decided that he would use his whistling in Kanu Roy’s song recording scheduled on the next day where Nagesh was to play violin. Thus, Nagesh began his career as a whistler in addition to being a musician.

Within few days after the recording of the song with his whistle, the news spread through musicians to other music directors that Nagesh’s whistling was very unique. Rajesh Roshan invited him to whistle for the song in ‘Julie’ (1975). The producer of ‘Gharonda’ (1977) wanted Jaidev to incorporate Nagesh’s whistle in all the three songs which became very popular. Thereafter, it became a trend to include whistling by Nagesh not only in songs but also in background music. In Heropanti (2014), Nagesh played the whistle in the song, ‘whistle baaja’ picturised on Tiger Shroff to the tune of a flute rendition in ‘Hero’ (1983), picturised on Jackie Shroff.

Nagesh’s greatest moment of his life was in 2006 when one of his friends took Nagesh’s recording of Raag Yaman Kalyan in his whistle and requested Ustad Bismillah Khan to listen. After his listening was over, Ustad ji was told that it was recorded in whistle. He was surprised because he thought that it was a flute recital. Nagesh has been experimenting with whistling some of the popular Hindustani classical raagdaari music. He says that there is some limitations in whistling because of its limited range. Whistling is not possible in low and very high octaves because low octaves will not produce the sound to the extent required and high octaves would break the sound of the whistle.

Nagesh had dreamt of becoming a music director. But in the event, whistling became his main profession. However, in 1977, he got a chance to compose music for a Marathi film, ‘Banya Baapu’ (1977). He gave music direction by adopting a new name, ‘Rishi Raj’. Despite the low budget for music in Marathi films, he used 80-piece orchestra in a couple of songs, thanks to the generosity of his musician-friends. The songs became very popular. Thereafter, he composed songs for about half a dozen Marathi films.

During the peak career of Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Nagesh had given background music to many of their films. However, he did not get credit. Those days, it was not the practice to mention the name of background music director as it was expected that the music director would also handle the background music. Nagesh is disappointed that despite whistling in more than 1600 films so far, he has never been credited on the films’ credit title as such while now a days even a tea boy on the set gets credited.

‘Zakhmi Dil’ (1994) was the only Hindi film for which Nagesh Surve was the music director under the pseudo name, Rishi Raj. The film was produced by Damodar Mudaliar and was directed by Raju Subramanian. The cast included Akshay Kumar and Ashwini Bhave in lead roles supported by Ravi Kishan, Anjali Mudaliar (debutant), Moon Moon Sen, Mehmood, Bindu, Dr Shriram Lagoo, Brij Gopal, Raza Murad, Sudhir Dalvi, Promod Muthu etc. It was a typical mainstream masala film which flopped at the box office.

I watched the film which was an absolute crap. The film is a love triangle with the one-sided involvement of a third girl. The gist of the story of the film is as under:

Jaidev (Akshay Kumar) and Gayatri (Ashwini Bhave) are childhood friends who love each other. However, their marriage plan is thwarted by Gayatri’s father, a landlord who wants her to marry a boy of his choice. They get separated. Akshay Kumar shifts to Mumbai and becomes a successful music director, owning a music company. Mala (Moon Moon Sen) is Jaidev’s lead singer.

Gayatri gives birth to her love child. One day, Gayatri with her child comes to Mumbai and visits Jaidev’s house. She meets Mala who falsely introduces herself as the wife of Jaidev. Gayatri is shocked and goes back to her village without Jaidev knowing that she had visited his house. Jaidev terminates the contract with Mala for her casual approach in her singing. Jaidev is scouting for a new singer, and he finds Vandana (Anjali Mudaliar) who turns out to be an excellent singer.

Jaidev falls in love with Vandana without her being aware of it. However, Vandana is already in love with Abhimanyu (Ravi Kishan) and visits him in Darjeeling. After returning from Darjeeling, both Vandana and Abhimanyu meet Jaidev. Now knowing that they both are in love, Jaidev plans to get them married. However, Jaidev’s business rival (Raza Murad) gets Abhimanyu killed and is planning to eliminate Vandana so as to affect Jaidev’s music company. In this plan, Jaidev’s ex-singer helps him.

Vandana is in a depressed mood. Jaidev reveals her that he had been in love with her and if she agrees, he will marry her. She agrees and they plan to get married. One day, Vandana accidentally meets Gayatri and comes to know the true background. However, Vandana prevents her from meeting Jaidev who is once again unaware of Gayatri’s attempt to meet him. On the wedding day, Vandana gets killed by Jaidev’s business rival. Jaidev is reunited with Gayatri.

‘Zakhmi Dil’ (1994) had 7 songs all written by Sameer which were set to music by Rishi Raj (Nagesh Surve). There is a trivia narrated by Nagesh which is the part of Bollywood politics. He was not invited to the premier of this film. Even film journalists were prevented from interviewing him on the eve of the film’s release. After the release of the film, he had got a couple of offers to compose music for Hindi films. But due to non-availability of song recording studios for month (due to monopoly of the top music directors), the offers went to other music directors. Those days, underworld had a strong grip over the Hindi film fraternity.

I am presenting the first song, ‘phool jahaan khilten hain’ from the film to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Kumar Sanu and Sadhana Sargam. This is the first song in the film in which Jaidev and Gayatri in their childhood rehearse the song with their teacher, Sudhir Dalvi outside the school and starts playing afterwards. This scene takes the transition from their childhood to adulthood and sing this song of mutual love. The song is picturised on Akshay Kumar and Ashwini Bhave.

Note: The life sketch of Nagesh Surve and his musical career is mainly based on his two-parts interview taken by Vividh Bharati which is available on a video sharing platform.

Celebrating a wedding at Bangalore
———————————————-

The wedding of my nephew (Elder sisters son) was solemnised at Bangalore in the last week of December. The groom is born in Mumbai, but has grown up studied and now working also in Bangalore, so he is a Bangaloria, through and through. I used to call him Bangaloria when he was a kid, for the way he would speak the local dialect. The engagement had taken place at Belgaum in August. The bride’s family are very traditional and conservative. They wanted the wedding to take place within 2-3 months. November was the month, they wanted to plan. Since we had our Turkey visit already planned for November end, and my brother had only few days leave in December, somehow, a date suiting all made final.

By the grace of Almighty Allah, all went well with the wedding and all functions. All the guest from different places and overseas, reached on time. The weddings in Bangalore are more disciplined, and set time is adhered to unlike what happens in Mumbai. I applaud the people of Bangalore city, for ‘jhelofying’ the traffic conditions and keeping to the times. The 4 days I spent there; it was like half the life is spend in travel from place to place. Regulars of the blog, from Bangalore can testify, that if 5 km distance travel is involved, ½ an hour travel time is a given. The groom’s house and the bride’s houses are in the areas on opposite side of an arterial road, not very far from the location where the flyover for the airport starts. What all was looking good and convenient and accessible on paper, was not the same on ground. But eventually everyone reached their destinations safely and no one missed anything. Everyone blessed the couple, enjoyed the hearty feasts, and all went home to their own cities and houses and jobs, having made some new memories of the event.

The nikaah was in the morning so that same evening was free for those who wanted to roam around. So, we also did, roam around the city in the car amid heavy traffic on Christmas eve with my sister, cousins, children etc. We were on MG road for a good dining place. I remembered a scene in Aamir Khan’s “Raakh”, which was set in some year 2030 MG road in an Indian metro city. The movie released in 1989 but the story dated some 50 years after. This is what I recall, but not sure. Eventually we left MG road and went to another area where restaurants were open till 2.00 am. Bangalore has changed in this regard in last 11-12 years.

Weddings are special, in the way they bring people together to catch up, relive the old times. Meeting and greeting the close and far off relations, plus old friends, with whom we have lost touch is also a bonus. My sisters two close friends live in Mumbai, but do not get to meet each other often. They came to Bangalore to attend the wedding and found a rare opportunity to spend time with each other. They were regular visitors in our house till my sister was alive, and they know most of the extended family also because of this.

Many people who knew my sisters since she shifted to Bangalore in 1994, her neighbours in the earlier house and her business associated, were among the guests at reception by grooms’ side, to bless the new couple. One of the associate/friends at the wedding was actor Feroz Khan’s and singer Kanchan’s cousin, who was used to share film industry’s’ inside news with my sister. My sister was a film buff, like I am a film song buff. She used to pore over filmy gossip magazines.

Let us go back to the wedding. The bride is a sweet girl, who has studied in Belgaum, Shimla, Jaipur, and Ajmer. Due to her father’s posting in Belgaum some years ago and for the last few years, they were staying in Belgaum, where the engagement in August took place. Her family hails from ‘Madanapalle’ in Andhra Pradesh. This place is also known and important for when Rabindra Nath Tagore visited the Besant Theosophical College there. It is known that Rabindra Nath Tagore composed the tune of ‘Jana gana mana’ while staying in Madanapalle. As soon as I got to know that the girl is from a place called “madanapalle”, I googled and got the above trivia.

So here to the addition of new member in the family and to the value addition to the nephew s life, where he is now responsible for another person’s wellbeing and happiness. In the small intimate ceremony of family members at home, right after the wedding, the bride and the groom were asked to sing songs and say a poem where they must take each other’s names. When I suggested this song “aaj se teri saari galiyan meri ho gayin” for the groom to sing for his bride, he did not agree, saying this is very unfair, everything belongs to her and I get nothing, only ‘galiyan’ & ‘gham’! 😊.

But it is only fair that you give her everything that she has left behind in her parent’s house, to come to your place, she brings her destiny with her, joins it with you and makes your house, a home. Alhamdullillah.

So the song I am presenting is the same one, from the film ‘Pad Man”(2017). This is the trivia about the film:

• The film was a “cinematic adaptation” of the life story of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social entrepreneur from Coimbatore. Arunachalam is known for developing low-cost sanitary pads and for increasing awareness about menstrual hygiene practices. The Government of India awarded him the Padma Shri in 2016.
• The film’s concept credited to Twinkle Khanna. While she produced the film, her husband Akshay Kumar played the lead role in it. Twinkle Khanna had written a short story titled “The Sanitary Man of Sacred Land” in 2016 which, like the film, was based on the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham. The story was part of a collection of stories written by her titled “The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad”.

The lead actors in the film were Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor. The song is a written by Kausar Munir and composer is Amit Trivedi. Arjit Singh is the singer. Their tally in the blog so far is this:

Amit Trivedi 5
Kausar Munir 2
Arijit Singh 7

This is a celebratory song, with Akshay Kumar making all type of promises to Radhika Apte and in return only needing her to make ‘maalpue’ sometimes and ‘khul ke muskurana’ sometimes. Cute and generous to boot. ‘Bangaluria” bhanje, do take note.
For history of ‘maalpue’ in the blog, one may revisit this post.

Hullo Atuldom

‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ (release date 30th July 2004) is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by David Dhawan. It has a cast headed by Priyanka Chopra, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Amrish Puri, Kadar Khan, with Shashikala, Upasana Singh, Supriya Karnik, Satish Shah, Rajpal Yadav, etc for support. A few well-known faces make cameo appearances as themselves. The songs of the movie are written by Arun Bhairav, Jalees Sherwani (never heard these two names) and Sameer. Sajid- Wajid and Anu Malik are the music composers with Anu Malik giving music for one song and Sajid-Wajid having tuned the rest (there were 8 songs with two songs being multi-version songs).

The movie is the story of two friends Sameer and Sunny who meet in Goa after a gap of many years and only one of them recognizes the other as the ‘bachpan ka yaar‘. Actually Sunny seeks out Sameer with the help of Sameer’s grandmother (Shashikala) and tracks him down in Goa. Sunny gets Sameer to believe that he is after the girl, Rani Singh whom he is trying to woo. That makes it two hurdles for Sameer to overcome in his love-life; the other being Rani’s father (Amrish Puri). The movie has some fun moments between Sameer and Rani’s parents as also the landlord (Kadar Khan) of Sameer and Sunny. After a lot of madcap happenings Sameer comes to know that Sunny is actually Arun Khanna- his bachpan ka yaar – and that his aim in seeking out Sameer was just to reunite with him.

On the way to ‘THE END’ there is a chase through a crowded stadium (filmed at Bangalore’s stadium) after Sameer is taunted by Sunny about Sameer’s anger-management issues. Sameer snatches the microphone from the Chief Guest at the cricketing event, a friendly match between India and Pakistan, much to the amusement of the commentators and the players. He makes a public apology to Rani and her parents and proposes to her in front of the spectators.

This movie has Salman Khan playing Sameer, Akhsay Kumar playing Sunny alias Arun Khanna and Priyanka Chopra playing Rani Singh. Rajpal Yadav plays a madcap astrologer who keeps giving Sameer directions on how to woo Rani which always flop.

There have been a few posts on the blog, since 24th when the movie based on the 1983 world cup had its theatrical release. That movie is on my wish-list, but all those posts and references to cricketers making appearances, as themselves, on the silver screen, reminded me of this movie. Of course we have had Sunil Gavaskar and Sandeep Patil playing romantic characters on-screen and Syed Kirmani playing a negative character too, but we are looking at films that have cricketers playing themselves.

‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ has Navjot Singh Sidhu play a commentator (he had turned a commentator mouthing Sidhuisms by then) and Sajid Khan (the comedian and film maker) sharing the commentary box. Then we have Javagal Srinath, Ashish Nehra, Irfan Pathan, Mohammad Kaif, Parthiv Patel, and Harbhajan Singh looking at the goings-on, on the pitch, from the pavilion. And (finally) we have Kapil Dev as the chief guest from whom Sameer snatches the microphone. Kapil Paaji also puts in his two-bit to help Sameer’s case with Rani and her father and put an end to the interruption that the drama was causing to the start of the game.

We are having this film making its debut on the blog to wish Salman Khan on his 56th birthday. Here is wishing him health and happiness and a long innings entertaining us Hindi Film Followers. This romantic song is composed by Sajid-Wajid and written by Arun Bhairav. It is sung by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan.

तेरे चेहरे क्या जाना
कुछ ऐसा जादू छा गया
मेरे चाँद को देख के
चाँद भी शर्मा गया
मुझे शरम सी आए
हाए तौबा
मेरा दिल घबराए
हाए तौबा
अरे आ बाहों में चूक ना जाएँ
ऐसे मौके से
तुझको पिया ने देख लिया
हाय रे धोखे से
माना के तुझे दिल देगा वो
मगर अपनी जान देगा वो
माना के मुझे दिल देगा वो
मगर मेरी जान लेगा वो

हाय
महका महका ये समा
कहने लगा आ प्यार कर
मेरे सोहने यार तू
दिलबर से इक़रार कर

तेरे प्यार की खुशबू
मेरी साँसों में समा गई
ले सजना सब छोड़ मैं
तेरे पीछे पीछे आ गई
तुझे प्यार हो गया
हाय तौबा
इक़रार हो गया
हाय तौबा
अब तो रोके ना रुकूँ
मैं किसी के रोके से
मुझको पिया ने देख लिया
हाय रे धोखे से
माना के मुझे दिल देगा वो
मगर मेरी जान लेगा वो
माना के तुझे दिल देगा वो
मगर अपनी जान देगा वो

लाल दुपट्टा
उड़ गया रे बैरी हवा के झोंके से
होय
लाल दुपट्टा
उड़ गया रे तेरा हवा के झोंके से
तुझको पिया ने देख लिया
हाय रे धोखे से
माना के मुझे दिल देगा वो
मगर मेरी जान लेगा वो
माना के तुझे दिल देगा वो
मगर अपनी जान देगा वो

Hullo Atuldom

Wishing all a happy Dassera. I know parts of India celebrated the festival on Sunday and parts are celebrating it today. I think that has something to do with the movement of the Moon from one constellation to another or mostly the phases of the moon which doesn’t necessarily follow the Gregorian calendar. I was confused as to the exact date for Vijaya Dashami or Dassehra and put the query to a group of knowledgeable friends and this is the reply I got:

October 23 Friday 7:00 onwards Ashtami
October 24 Saturday 7:00 onwards Navami
October 25 Sunday 7:45 onwards Dashami
October 26 Monday 9:00 onwards Ekadashi.

Now going by that reply we have Dashami till 9 a.m. today but for convenience sake (read working day/ holiday) there are many (in Kerala atleast) who would have celebrated the festival. But for the pandemic even Ram Leela would have come to a close yesterday (Sunday) with RavanDahan, as Dashami was present in the evening hours. Don’t know if it was held this year!!!!

But today’s post is not a lesson on the Panchang that Indians follow and neither am I the competent authority to comment on the Sun, Moon and the planetary movements. As always my post is to wish a celebrity on turning an year older.

This celebrity is the daughter of Producer/ director of ‘Anhonee’, ‘Khel Khel Mein’ ‘Khuddar’ etc.Ravi Tandon’s daughter- Raveena Tandon turns an year older today. She made her debut in 1991, at the age of 17,in a movie produced by G.P.Sippy and directed by Anant Balani “PattharKePhool” which had Salman Khan as the hero. She then went on to act with Sunny Deol, Govinda, Akshay Kumar, Shahrukh Khan, Anil Kapoor. 1994 saw her star in “Zamaane Se Kya Darna” with Sanjay Dutt, “Dilwale” with Suneil Shetty and Ajay Devgan, “Insaniyat” with Sunny Deol, “Imtihaan” with Saif Ali Khan and Sunny Deol, “Laadla” with Anil Kapoor, “Andaz Apna Apna” with Aamir Khan, “Aatish” again Sanjay Dutt and Mohra with Akshay Kumar. She also played herself in a song-cameo in Saif Ali Khan- Akshay Kumar starrer “Main Khiladi Tu Anari” and a role in a Tamil movie in 1994. She took a hiatus post marriage but was seen in a cameo in PuriJagannadh directed “Bbuddah… Hoga Tera Baap” (2011) as she got a chance to do a romantic scene with Amitaabh Bachchan whose sister she had played in “Bade MiyanChhoteMiyan” in the ‘90s. Since 2011 we see her in a movie or two per year plus she has conducted a few shows on television. On her personal front, she had adopted two young girls when they were 10 and 8 when she herself was only in her 20s. After marriage she has two children of her own.

Her most popular song of the 1994 earned her the nickname the ‘mast mast’ girl. Though she has never claimed to be ‘Mast’ meaning wonderful. So also the other birthday personality.
He is our own Rajaji. He is (to use a Hindi expression) a ‘yaaron ka yaar’. He is a devoted family man. He is deeply sensitive and touched by many current occurrences in this world of ours. But the one thing that introduced us to him or shall I say the two things that got us connected to him-Cricket and Hindi Film Music are also dear to his heart.

He can write pages and pages about his love for the works of Sahir Ludhianvi and ponder about what would have been Sahir’s take on the life in this age and time. And he can do the same when he writes posts on his favourite Rajesh Khanna, Dev Anand, Mohd Rafi. He has told me that he can keep listening to Rafi songs all day and night and not tire of it. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t appreciate Kishore Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan etc. He claims that he is just discovering movies of the 80s which he had banished for their deteriorating quality and quantity, he gives them a “Pass” certificate only no high marks to them. But even there he may relish and enjoy individual scene of the typical masala kind. I am sure he will enjoy the visual that the accompanying song has to offer.

It has the comic cop Paresh Rawal running around trying to dance in step with Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon. We have Tej Sapru exchanging a briefcase with an associate (would like to know who it is). Suniel Shetty is stalking them and please keep in mind that Akshay Kumar is a cop in disguise out to catch Tej Sapru and his associate.

This is a new age song which should appeal to the other birthday girl of this group. She is not an active participant and her father is. I hope she is a “Mast” child, meaning wonderful child.
There is another person, my first playmate, who has her birthday today. I cannot imagine how I was as a toddler before she entered my family in the arms of my Mom.
With this post I wish Raveena Tandon, Rajaji and the two unnamed girls “A Very Happy Birthday” May God bless them with lots of Health and Happiness.

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 🙂 🙂

When I looked at the lyrics of this song, I quickly made some guesses about this song and its movie:-

1. This movie is directed by David Dhawan.

2. Music is by Anu Malik

3. The song is picturised as a chaalu dance song on klead pair of Govinda and Karishma Kapoor.

When I watched the picturisation and saw the details of the movie, I found that I had hit the bulls’s eye on 1 and 2. I was wrong in 3. The song was picturised not on Govinda and Karisha Kapoor but on Akshay Kumar and Juhi Chawla.

This movie was called “Mr and Mrs Khilaadi” (1997). May be I should have paid attention to the title to guess the hero. If the title had the word “Khilaadi” in it, then it used to be an Akshay Kumar starrer. If the title had the phrase “number one” in it, then that used to be Govinda starrer, duly directed by David Dhawan.

The movie “Mr and Mrs Khilaadi” (1997) was produced by Keshu Ramsey and directed by David Dhawan. The movie had Akshay Kumar, Juhi Chawla, Kader Khan, Gulshan Grover, Johny Lever, Satish Kaushik, Anjala Zaveri, Paresh Rawal, Birbal, Guddi Maruti, Mac Mohan, Himani Shivpuri, Upasna Singh, Rakesh Bedi, Anil Dhawan, Kishore Bhanushali, Jack Gaud, Raj Kishore etc in it.

The movie had six songs in it. This song is the first song from the movie to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Abhijeet and P0ornima. Dev Kohli is the lyricist. The lyrics are obviously inspired from the popular political slogan of Bihar those days that was -“Jab rak rahega samose mein aalu tab tak Bihar mein rahega Laalu.”

Thankfully that politician has proved to be more fallible than the humble aalu.

One obviously watches this song and listens to it with very low expectations, and so the song turns out to be a good fun to watch and listen to. The song has somer witty lines. In adduition to aaalu and samosa, the lyrics rope in idly and dosa as well;. 🙂

The dance that the two acors are seen performing is not disco, or ramba samba or any such known dance form. It is nothing more than aerobics exercises. 🙂

Here is this fun song from “Mr and Mrs Khilaadi” (1997) first thing in the morning. Only if I could somehow get a samosa, or even idly and dosa at this time in the morning. Alas, I have to make do with just a morning cup of tea. 🙂


Song-Jab tak rahega samose mein aalo (Mr and Mrs Khilaadi) (1997) Singers-Abhijeet, Poornima, Lyrics- Dev Kohli, MD-Anu Malik

If there was a national season in India, it would probably be the monsoons. Across the country, the arrivals of rains is awaited and celebrated, not only traditional ways but also in very personal ways. Someone might have their mother making Adrak wali chai (ginger tea) and pakodas for them, while someone else might have a standing date with Bandra Bandstand. We all have some beautiful memories of rain that rerun in our heads when the first rains hit the dry soil wherever we are.

This song won the Filmfare award for Best female playback singer of 2008, for Shreya Ghoshal. Shreya Ghoshal is one find of the decade as far as female playback singers are concerned. She is here there everywhere, in all films. She has dominated the female playback scene for some years now. With Lata and Asha both almost out of contention and singing few songs, there was a gap which is filled somewhat first by Alka Yagnik in the 90’s and than by Shreya Ghoshal. I especially like her solo songs. Of course, nobody can quite dominate a field like Lata and Asha did for 40 odd years. The field is wide open now and with more competetion from all around. But Shreya Ghoshal is most talented of the lot and sounds good in all types of songs.

While searching for songs of Dhadkan (1973), I stumble upon Dhadkan (2000) and I discovered this superb song- “Dil ne ye kaha hai dil se”.
