Today (8 November 2026) is Deepawali, the festival of Lights. On every deepawali, we have covered a few Deepawali related songs. The first deepawali for the blog fell on 28 October 2008. Five songs were covered on that day. The final song of the day was Rangoli sajaao(Rangoli)(1962). This was a Deppawali song and so this song had the distinction of becoming the first Deepawali song in the blog.

18 years have passed from that date. Today we are celebrating the 19th Deepavali festival in the blog. 43 Deepavali related songs have been covered in the blog over the years. Almost all known and unknown Deepavali songs of the past years have been covered in the past. So musch so that finding a “new” song for the occasion is becoming a challenge for me. Today I decided to search for a Deepavali song. I visited youtube and searched for Deepavali festival songs from Hindi movies. I found that every song that I came across was already covered in the blog. I listened to Vividh Bharati. The songs being played there were also covered in the blog. Then I checked up the Deepavali songs played in Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation today. They had played 11 Deepavali song today. Each and every one of them is there in the blog.

‘Baazigar’ (1993) was a blockbuster film which I missed to watch in the theatre after its release. Even later, I had no occasion to watch the film on TV and Video sharing/OTT platforms. But I was aware of the films hit songs mainly because they used to regularly appear on TV channels (probably on MTV/Channel V) after the release of the film. The occasion to watch the film has come now because I have selected one of the songs from the film picturised on Shilpa Shetty who made her debut with this film. I found the film interesting even after three decades mainly for one reason – its slick editing. The film never deviates from the main plot even during the comedy sub-plots.

Hullo Atuldom

This post is, thanks to the film music program Rangoli, that is aired on doordarshan every Sunday morning. The program that I saw on the morning of 25th October, featured songs filmed on Raveena Tandon – an actress of the 1990s. The program had songs featuring Raveena with almost all the actors she had acted with and not necessarily dance numbers, there were romantic songs too.

The song with this post is from the 2004 released, Madhur Bhandarkar directed “Aan: Men At Work”. The film was produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwala. The film had Shatrughan Sinha leading a cast of Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Preethi Jhangiani, Jackie Shroff, Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Irrfan Khan, Manoj Joshi, Rahul dev, Vijay Raaz, Ravi Kishan, Ajinkya Deo, Rajpal Yadav, Milind Gunaji and many many more known faces in guest & special appearances. Plus there was Gauhar Khan and Reema Sen in two dance numbers.

Hullo to all followers of this Blog

Navaratri ki mangal parv ki sabhi ko shubh kaamnayein🙏🏻🙏🏻

11th October – is Ashwin maas, Shukla Paksha, Pratipada; the date when the devotes do Ghatasthapana, and Sharadiya Navratri begins. It is the period when people in Western India begin their evenings, in Sarvajanik Mandals, with daily aarthis to Ambe Mata & follow them up with Garba & Dandiya. Nine nights of dancing and revelry. This is special for Gujarat & Maharashtra.

In many parts of North India, the nine day festival has revelry with staging of The Ram-Leela as their integral part. Ram Leela means story of Lord Rama complete with Ram-Ravana Yudh (war) and Ravan Vadh happening on the ninth day.

Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part XII

(Actresses whose name begin with the letter L)

In the first eleven episodes of the series, we listed actresses whose names begin with the first eleven letters of the alphabet and who had lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog. Then we went on to cover a song that was lip synced by another acresses whose name began with the same letter and who had not lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog.

The exercise of finding a “new” actress whose name begins with a particular letter is being increasingly difficult. The three “new” actresses who made their debuts in the blog (as far as lip syncing in Asha Bhonsle’s voice is concerned) were Anju Mahendru, Bhanupriya, Chandrakala, Divya Bharati, Ekta,Farheen, Gulnar Irani, Harsha Mehra, Isha Koppikar, Jasmine and Khushboo.

In this episode, we arrive at the letter L. There are eleven actresses whose name begin with L who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog.

After that qawwali like fusion wedding song from “Bombay”, I remembered a few filmy qawwalis from the 21st century. Several of them are composed by ARR, so there is a possibility of at least one more qawwali in that series. There is another one from the 90’s which should follow in the next few days.

After the top one “Na to karwaan ki talaash hai” many people consider “parda hai parda hai” to be second most liked and famous qawwali in Rafi Sahab’s songs. I am sceptical about this rating. I have personally always liked “pal do pal ka saathh hamaara” and “Hai agar dushman” better than the hugely popular “Parda hai parda hai”. This qawwali is performed in most of the shows of Rafi Sahab songs. That is fine, as someone remarked, that it is a more engaging one and singers enjoy performing it. That makes it a favourite for the singers too. So, it has somethings going for it. I just wish that the singers try other equally appealing and engaging qawwalis too. All of them are trying to touch the benchmark, in playback singing left by Rafi Sahab. Some say that the textbook is written, and ink dried, and they just need to open the pages and try and absorb.

Hullo Atuldom

“This is a multi-birthday post.

First and foremost we shall be wishing our Sudhirji- The Dillwala Dilliwala; Atulji’s trusted lieutenant on his birthday. He has been a huge help to Atulji and that has ensured that the blog has had no dot days since 25th December 2019. Let us all wish this Atulite with lots of fun and music.”

This was the opening line of my post of the 2nd December 2022. For sometime now, the rate at which Sudhirji’s posts are appearing is less than a trickle. Hope he picks up the threads of all the series that he has made us addicted to. “Ram Jaane” when he will pick up steam.

Hope you have a Great Day Sudhirji-
Happy Birthday To You🌯🍫🍦🎂🕺💃
