# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Happy Birthday to Usha Khanna)
——————————————-——————————

Today 7th October 2025 is the eighty-fifth birthday of music composer and singer Usha Khanna (born on 7th October 1941).

On this occasion I am presenting song that is sung as well as composed by her.

This song is from the 1979 movie ‘Meri Beewee Ki Shaadi’. It was directed by Rajat Rakshit for AVM Arts International, Bombay. It was a social movie. The cast of this movie included Amol Palekar, Ranjeet, Ashok Saraf, C.S. Dubey, Maruti, Datta Bhatt, Jankidas, R. Verma, M. Naidu, Ashok Narang, Baba Naik, Siraj, Susheela Raut, Pramod Naidu, Chanda, Anuradha, Dilip Kulkarni (debutant) and others. Neelu Phule and Namita Chandra had special appearances in this movie.

#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.

‘Solvaan Saawan’ (1978) was produced by A.S.R. Anjaneyulu and was directed by Bharthi Rajaa. The cast included Amol Palekar, Sridevi, Adil Amaan, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Sajjan, Madhukar, Deena Pathak, Savita Bajaj, Vijayalakshmi, Rajeshwari etc. The film was Bharathi Rajaa’s first foray in Hindi films as a director. This was Sridevi’s first Hindi film in a lead role. The film was entirely shot in Jharkhand in a month’s time in rural region. Hence, it was decided to write dialogues with a mix of Hindi and Bhojpuri languages. The film got a very limited theatrical release on January 22, 1979.

‘Chandamama’ was a children’s monthly magazine known for its illustrations, long running mythological and magical stories. I was a huge fan of it & used to be gifted with a copy of it, as reward, for good showing in curricular & co-curricular activities. I had a collection of those books along with a few editions of Champak, Phantom, Mandrake, Tarzan & Amar Chitra Katha, like most children of those times.

Daamad (1978) remains to this day, a comedy movie which I place on par with Padosan (1968), Half Ticket (1964), Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958), Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2000), etc. The comic timing shown by all the characters, specifically Amol Palekar and Ashok Saraf, is simply brilliant.

Daamad starred Amol Palekar, Ranjeeta, Ashok Saraf, Shreeram Lagoo, Keshto Mukherjee, Preeti Ganguli, etc

Hullo Atuldom

19th July. The birth-date of our blog. The blog completes 10+2 years of uninterrupted posting of songs and write ups that give details about the movie, lyricist, music director, actors, etc. Also we can find the synopsis of the concerned movies here on the blog. What we get here is also accurate lyrics for all the songs posted. And if the song is a multi-version song even that is mentioned here along with the lyrics for the second version too, even if there is no change in the wordings of the song.

Hullo Atuldom

24th November 2019 is the 75th birthday of Amol Palekar – the actor who played a common man or the boy next door character so convincingly that it jolted the audience when they saw him play a cold-blooded murderer in Vinod Chopra’s “Khamosh” (1985). He played a similar grey-shaded character in “Teesra Kaun” (1994) and “Aanchal” (1980). So, it is not as if he always stuttered in front of a strict boss as in “Golmaal” (1979), “Damaad” (1978), a person who is hyper worried that he will die of some grave illness, leaving his beautiful young wife grieving – “Meri Biwi Ki Shaadi” (1979) etc.

Today is the death anniversary of one of India’s biggest superstars, Rajesh Khanna, affectionately referred to as Kaka. He passed away on the 18th of July 2012. I remember being shocked to hear of his death – and even wrote an emotional post on my blog on the occasion. Although I did know that he had been suffering from cancer, the news hit me hard. Today, it is already 6 years since his death. How time flies!

Exactly one month and a day – from the time that we hit the last century milestone. The 13800th song had come on to the blog on 10th Dec. And today, 10th Jan, we arrive at the 13900th station of this musical journey. Many congratulations to all members of the bandwagon. We are into another year now, and folks keeping tabs will agree, the pace of postings, and pace of participations has really picked up in the past 10 days. Or to put a positive twist – in the first 10 days of the year. The mind goes back to the whatsapp message on the group – that new year resolutions are but a matter of interest for about a week into the new year. After that, the crowds on the morning walk are back to the thin normal expected for those early hours of the day. 🙂
