Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 40

Today’s song “Yeh Hum Jaante Hain” is from “Aaj Ki Dhara” 1977. It is sung by Asha Bhosle, with music by Sapan-Jagmohan and lyrics by Naqsh Lyallpuri.

“Aaj Ki Dhara (Aaj Ki Radha) is a social drama that underwent production challenges and censorship issues, notably over its title. Featuring a stellar ensemble of actors—Mahendra Sandhu, Rehana Sultan, Waheeda Rehman, Danny Denzongpa, and Ranjeet—the film centers on an ordinary person’s courageous fight against societal corruption and injustice, highlighting themes of morality, family, and the individual’s place within traditional social structures. Its music, with evocative melodies and emotionally rich lyrics, complements the film’s tone, even as its production history remains a notable part of its story.

Today, August 19, 2025, is the 6th Remembrance Day of a ‘ruhaani‘ music director, Mohammed Zahoor Khayyam Hashmi (18/02/1927 – 19/08/2019), better known as Khayyam. His musical career can be divided into three parts. The first part (1948-67) was his struggling years during which he mostly got low budget films. In the second part (1967-74), he took sabbatical from the Hindi film industry and concentrated in composing non-film Hindi songs. In the last part of his musical career, (1974-2013) he rejoined his musical career in Hindi films during which he had a successful stint both financially and career-wise.

Khayyam was born in Rahon in Nawanshahr district (now Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar) of Punjab in a Muslim scholar’s family who loved poetry and music. There used to be a regular gathering in his father’s large library room to discuss poetry and music which included films as well as classical music. All the family members were highly educated. His father expected Khayyam to follow suit. But he was glued more to the gramophone record player listening to film songs than to his schoolbooks (akin to the addiction to smartphone among today’s school going children) as he wished to become an actor-singer like K L Saigal, his idol.

Hullo Atuldom

18th August 2025. It is the 92nd birthday (completes 91) of a most revered lyricist/ poet, writer and film director of Hindi Films. He was born Sampooran Singh Kalra in a Sikh family in the small town of Dina (now in Pakistan). Deeply engrossed in literature and poetry right from his school days, he avidly listened to Hindustani music, attended concerts by Pt. Ravi Shankar and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.

His family moved to Delhi after Partition, but Sampooran moved to Bombay to pursue his ambition to become a writer. He started working as a mechanic in a garage and wrote poetry in his free time under the pen name (first) Gulzar Deenvi & later on (simply) Gulzar. All this is public knowledge.

Today’s song is from a film – Naya Kanoon-1965 – which had an offbeat story on current affairs of IPC. Unfortunately due to several reasons the film was not successful. Two reasons were there. First was, in 1965 so many iconic and milestone movies were made that anything less than their standard was unlikely to have acceptance of the audience. Secondly, the film had inherent lacunae which downgraded it.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film – Tilottama-1954.

Made by Basant Pictures of Homi Wadia, it was directed by the Trick Master Babubhai Mistry. Music was by the multitasking expert S.N.Tripathi. The cast included Chitra, Kailash, Maruti, Babu raje, Indira Bansal, Heera Sawant, B.M.Vyas and a long list of small time actors, who were regulars in such films. The Lyrics were by G.S.Nepali.

Tilottama was an extraordinarily beautiful apsara from the Swarga. She was especially created by Vishwakarma on Brahma ji’s suggestion. The first chapter of mahabharata – The Adi Parva – mentions that Maharshi Narad detailed the story of Tilottama to Pandavas and warned them that one Draupadi as a wife to 5 Pandavas could become a cause of conflict and that they must be careful about it.
