Today’s song is from a Costume film Roop Sundari-1964.

This routine ” King-Queen-Vazir” type C grade film was directed by Chandrakant (Gaur). His name is not very famous, but he was one of those artistes of the first generation of Hindi films, who was a multi-faceted person. He was an actor, producer, director, Lyricist and a music director. In the early phase of the Hindi films, being “a jack of all trades’ was a guarantee of a permanent job in a film studio and a sure way of survival with respect. I remember another such artiste – Badri prasad. He was an actor- first as a Hero and then as a character artiste, Producer, Director, lyricist, Singer, Music Director and also a Choreographer. (He was a Sanskrit scholar too and an author, according to his daughter). I remember his roles in films like ” Albela”-1951 and ” Hum sab chor Hai”-1956.

Hullo Atuldom

Before beginning this post, I googled to check out movies starring Sunil Dutt that has music by Laxmikant- Pyarelal. The reason for this search was to remember Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar (of the L-P duo) who passed away on 25th May 1998 & Sunil Dutt who left this mortal world on the same date in 2005. Like on previous occasions, the first result from Google was the 1967 hit ‘Milan’. Of course that is a movie that has long been YYIIPPEEEEd on the blog.
A hunt through the films starring Sunil Dutt helped me dig out a film that released in 1980.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# R.D. Burman – Music from ‘The 1970s’# (Darling Darling-1977)
——————————————-———————————

With this post we go back to the ‘decade of ‘seventies’. Of late very few songs from the ‘seventies’ have been posted on the blog. We are still a long way off from the estimated eight thousand songs that were created in this decade, so far, only 2834 songs from 1970s have been posted on the blog. On personal front,I also have many songs from this decade lined up to be present here. All these days I was listening to and enjoying songs on ‘radio’ every morning and evening while travelling to workplace and returning back to home.

Today’s song is from the social film Minister-1959.

The 1950s and the early 60s was the period in which the Hindi film industry churned out films which tried to glorify the impractical approaches to real problems, under the guise of Indian traditions. This was in line with what Nehru espoused as Socialism. Unfortunately, it took the Indian public farther from reality and instead of advancing, we went back another two decades. It was only after the war with China in 1962 and demise of Nehru in 1964, the wheels turned the right way slowly after winning the war of 1965 with Pakistan, under the leadership of Shastri ji, India knew and understood what was necessary for the country to progress. After Indira Gandhi took over and implemented certain strong measures, the influence on Indian people changed for the better.

Today’s song is the last and final song of the film Hatimtai-1956.

I have a very funny memory about this film’s name, Hatim Tai. During my school days, when I first got the book “Stories of Hatim Tai”, from my school Library for reading, I thought these were the stories of the elder sister of someone called Hatim. I thought so because in marathi, ” TAI” means ‘Didi’ or elder sister. However, once i started readingthe book, I realised that I was wrong and Hatimtai was the name of the Hero of the stories. For many years thereafter, I kept on wondering about this misleading name. Finally, in another book I got the answer to my curiosity.

Today’s song is the last and final song from the film Chand ki Duniya-1959.

The year of 1959 was an year when the musical field in Hindi films was almost ruled by 6 Male singers (Rafi, Mukesh, Talat, Manna Dey Hemant kumar and Kishore Kumar) and 4 Female singers (Asha, Lata, Geeta and Shamshad). Of course occasional singers like S.D.Batish, Subir Sen, Pradeep, Suman,Usha,Mubarak Begum, Sudha Malhotra, kamal Barot etc were also heard. But it was a complete domination of the few top singers. It was not because they were preventing others, but because they were such experienced, perfect and hard working singers who fulfilled the needs of all the Music Directors.
