#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
—————————————————————————

Today’s song is a rare song, but it surely deserved to be a well-known song, but it was not destined to be so, seeing that the movie it was meant to belong to could not be released. The title of this movie is ‘Hamaari Kahaani’ from the decade of 1970s. Sources have mentioned the year of this movie as 1973.

‘Hamaari Kahaani’ or ‘Hamaari Kahaanee-1973’ was directed by B.V. Algikar for ‘Navprakash Chitra, Bombay’. Geet Kosh Vol-V mentions the cast of this movie as Master Shripad, Baby Ragini, Master Vinayak, Master Kiran, Sulochana, Abhi Bhattacharya, Dhoomal and others. The movie page for this movie lists three songs for this movie, leaving space for possibility of more songs in this movie. Two songs are written by Asad Bhopali, and one song is written by Jaan Nisar Akhtar. Music for this movie is composed by C. Arjun. The singers for this movie are Usha Mangeshar, Manna Dey and Mohd Rafi.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
—————————————————————————

Today 24th October 2025 is the fourteenth remembrance day of the legendary singer Manna Dey ( Real name Prabodh Chandra Dey). He was born on 01.05.1919 and he passed away on 24.10.2013.

Music lovers here are already aware about him and much has already been written about his greatness and versatility as a singer, so I am not going to repeat it all here again. But I would definitely like to mention here that I am a big fan of his singing and I have always enjoyed and cherished listening to the songs sung by Manna Dey, whichever genre they are from – classical, semi-classical, sugam sangeet or qawwaalees etc. He has also sung many songs which fall under the category of philosophical songs and ‘songs with a message’.

Today I am presenting one such rare song here. This song is a rare song because it is from an un-released movie of the seventies. I don’t know how many of us have listened to this song. I came across this song around two-three years back and I had mentioned this while presenting another song from this same un-released movie here on the blog earlier.

There have been two Hindi movies with the title “Ustaad Pedro” that were released in 1951 and 1971 respectively.

These two movies had the same title because they were produced by the same man viz Sheikh Mukhtar and he had played the title role in both the movies. One can easily guess that this story line was close to his heart so he decided to repeat the same story line with the very same movie title. Seeing that there was a 20 year gap between the two movies, the actors in the 1971 necessarily had to be different.

“Ustaad Pedro”(1971) was produced by Sheikh Mukhtar and directed by Chaand for Time Life Films, Bombay. The movie had Sheikh Mukhtar, Meena Roy, Jeewan, Padma Khannaa, Asha Nadkarni, Kundan, Raka, Shyam Kumar, Helen, Junior Mehmood, Master Dingu, Sadiq, Hameed, Kaku, Fazlu, Bihari, B A Baghi, Anil Dutt (new face) etc in it. One can notice that the lead actress in this movie was someone called Meena Roy. Few people have any idea who she was. In contrast, the lead actress of “Ustaad Pedro”(1951) was a famous actress of her time viz Begam Para.

Today’s song is from the Costume film Raaka-1965.

The film was directed by Kedar Kapoor. Music was by Dattaram- who had been a long time assistant to Shankar-Jaikishen pair and few others for some time. The cast of the film was Dara Singh, Mumtaz, K.N.Singh, Kamal Mehra, Shyam Kumar etc. I was surprised to see the name of K.N.Singh in the film’s cast. One would hardly find the name of this sophisticated villain in such a type of C grade film !
