Hullo Atuldom

I love to see films in which actors who are siblings, parents with the actor or related in someway with the actor, cast in important roles. There are umpteen such films in India – in all languages. The film, in this category, that I really love to see (and have seen many times) is “Kal Aaj Aur Kal” which had the whole Kapoor Khandaan enacting their real-life relationships. Additionally, it had Babita who went on to become the daughter-in-law of the family, just as in the film. Then there is “Zamaane Ko Dikhaana Hai” which had Randhir & Rishi Kapoor playing brothers. There was one more movie in 2012 -“Housefull 2”- that had the two playing brothers who are constantly competing with each other etc.

“Sirf Tum”- 1999 released; was a pure, soft romantic film. It was different from regular love stories. It had Sanjay Kapoor playing Deepak Rai & Priya Gill played Aarti. They never meet each other in person till the last scene. They get to know of each other through a strange incident. Deepak finds a bag/ envelope containing a girl’s certificates, bio-data etc. He finds the girl’s address and sends it by speed-post to her. Aarti is relieved on getting her documents & she sends him a “thank you” letter. This starts a chain of letters between the two. Deepak is employed in a firm that is headed by Neha (Sushmita Sen). She is impressed by Deepak and his straight-forwardness. She reveals her feelings for Deepak – to him. But he tells her that he is in love with a girl called Aarti whom he has never met. It is a story of “love that starts from the heart & not from the eye”.

‘Hamraaz’ (1968) was a movie that starred Raj Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Vimmi and Mumtaz in lead roles. It was produced by BR Chopra. It was a love story with a murder mystery added making the film very interesting, entertaining & suspenseful. There were remakes of it in the 1990s – ‘Imtihaan’ (1994) and ‘Aarzoo’ (1999).

Hullo Atuldom

Beginning this post with a few thoughts that have been running through my head. What is the time or age to define something as old?

I have been observing people around me, for the last few years of my better half’s tenure, at his last workplace. I am saying “last workplace” as he has decided to call it a day; inspite of loving what he has achieved over the last 45 years. People consider him young enough to open up about their joys & sorrows. His colleagues cannot believe or don’t want him to hang his boots yet. Of course, I am very proud of all that his co-workers (he doesn’t call them subordinates) have to say about him.

There are some celebrities who’s birthdays & anniversaries become national events. The media goes crazy in trying to show case their work and remind the film-crazy public about the body of their work, and bring them into public domain. I don’t grudge these celebrities their popularity. All of the concerned actors, actresses, music directors, singers etc have a huge fan following because of their work only.

Then there are those who reach milestone birthdays quietly, without much fanfare. 23rd September happens to be one such date. It is the date of birth of 3 actors whose work I have been following since I started seeing films consciously.

Music of Uttam Singh / Music Composer – Uttam Singh – 03
——————————————–

This series on the songs composed by music composer Uttam Singh has been going on for some time. Today I present an ‘epic song’ composed by him from the movie ‘Gadar Ek Premkatha-2001’.

Today we know Uttam Singh as a successful and famous ‘music-composer’, who composed songs for movies like ‘Dil To Paagal Hai’, ‘Gadar Ek Premkatha’ etc. But I doubt how many of us know about his initial struggles and his ‘inspirational story’ of ‘struggles to successes’. (Even I was not aware of his full biographical information till recently).

It’s been a while since I wrote an article for this blog (a long while – the last thing I wrote was “Ae Watan Ae Watan” in 2019). This week at Arunji’s home (2 June 2023), Sudhir ji encouraged me to write again, following in the footsteps of my mother who has been contributing for years. The conversations that day were incredibly stimulating, particularly the appreciation expressed for the blog among movie trivia enthusiasts. Eventually, I succumbed to the peer pressure. I returned home and embarked on a search for inspiration (aka a song) to write about. It was then that I realized Ameesha Patel’s birthday was approaching, and I immediately got to work.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.118
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years ago (20 May 2013), eight songs from eight different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
8101 Ghazab ka hai din socho zara Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) 3 songs covered out of 6 by now
8102 Main reh gayi ankhiyaan malti re Roomaal (1949) 6 songs covered out of 10 by now
8103 Pyaar mera majboor pardesi sainyyaan Madaari (1959) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
8104 O paise tu Bhagwaan nahin Main Shaadi Karne Chalaa (1962) 6 songs covered out of 9 by now
8105 Din jaa rahe hain ke raaton ke saaye Doosri Sita (1974) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
8106 Phir wahi raat aayi jaan e jaan Phir Wohi Raat (1980) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
8107 Lukka chhuppi bahut huyi saamne aaja na Rang De Basanti(2006) 2 songs covered out of 10 by now
8108 Muhabbat hai kya cheez hamko bataao Prem Rog (1982) 5 songs covered out of 6 by now

We observe that three movies (out of eight) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago (on 20 May 2013) have since been YIPPEED. That laeves us with five unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (20 may 2023).

“Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak” (1988) is one of the five BTYC eligible movies today (20 May 2023).
