Sadhana was one of the biggest female star of her time in 1960s. But her aura was all but gone by late 1960s and 1970s. There were several reasons for that including the fact that she fell ill at the prime of her career that kept her out of movies in late 1960s. By the time she recovered and tried to make a comeback, the Hindi movie world had moved on and the new generation of movie goers had their own stars among the newer crop of female actors.

Hamen yaad kabhi tum kar lena

This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
The year is 1972, and Salil Da has completed two decades in the film industry. Making his debut with the 1953 Bimal Roy production, ‘Do Bigha Zameen’, he continues to be a fairly busy music director in the early 70s. Somewhat unassuming, somewhat low key, his creations continue to catch one’s ear as well as one’s fancy. During the 50s and 60s, he has made his mark with such films that have become memorable on account of his music – ‘Biraj Bahu’ (1954), ‘Jaagte Raho’ (1956), ‘Musaafir’ (1957), ‘Ek Gaon Ki Kahaani’ (1957), ‘Madhumati’ (1958), ‘Parakh’ (1960), ‘Chhaayaa’ (1961), ‘Kabuliwaala’ (1961), ‘Half Ticket’ (1962), ‘Poonam Ki Raat’ (1965) etc. The seventies have emerged and Salil Da already has films like ‘Anand’ (1971) and ‘Mere Apne’ (1971) under his belt. In 1972, his melodies from ‘Annadaata’ are making waves on the radio. In 1972, Salil Da will also compose for two more films that did not get retained on the memory cards of the listening public. One is ‘Sabse Bada Sukh’ that has two wonderful songs. And the second is an even more obscure film, ‘Anokha Daan’, which carried as many as five superb melodies.

“Doraaha” (1971) was produced by Ram Dayal and directed by Firoz Chinoy. This movie had an adult theme and that made the movie a “controversial” movie. In other words, the movie audience, media as well as the censors were not mature enough to handle movies of this genre. This movie, as well as other movies of the same genre, viz. “Dastak”, “Chetna” etc suffered from wrong publicity which attracted wrong kind of movie goers to these movies. The movies suffered at the box office. Come to thingk of it, Indian movie audience, media as well as the censors have not yet matured even today, some four decades later, to be able to deal with these kind of movies.

Though I had listened to this many a times in 1970s, I was not aware aboout the details of the song. from the voice, I knew that the song was sung by Asha Bhonsle. From the racy tune, i guessed that the music of this song was composed by R D Burman. And that is all I was aware about this song.

“Anokha Daan” (1972) is a movie I knew little about even though this movie was released during my pre teen/teen years when I was at my curious best. So this movie must have been forgotten just as soon as it was released.

Doley jhumka moraa

I could have sworn that I had this category called “Jhumka” song in this blog, but I was wrong. I had “ghunghroo” catgory, but not “jhumka” category which is clearly an oversight on my part.

Tumhi rehnumaa ho meri zindagi ke

Early 1970s had seen some non mainstream movies made on “bold” subjects. The movie watchers, as well as the movie critics were not mature enough to appreciate these movies. These movies were badly panned by the critics and such movies flopped. “Dastak”, “Chetna” and ‘Do Raahaa” were a few such movies.
