The name Neetu Singh conjures up an image of a very bright and charming and ever smiling beauty. She started her life in Bollywood at a very young age – she was only 8 when we see her name appear as a child actor, in two 1966 films – ‘Suraj’ and ‘Dus Lakh’. However, the lasting memories are of her double role of twin sisters, separated on account of their parents’ discord, as Baby Sonia, in “Do Kaliyan” (1968). The image of a small child girl with double plaited hair [‘do choti’ sounds better, no? ;)] is still retained in our mind’s eye singing “Bachche Mann Ke Sachche” in Lata Mangeshkar’s voice.

Sometimes it so happens that some song is so well ingrained in memory that it appears as if, oh well, everyone must remember this song. And further, it simply cannot be so that this song is not yet on the blog. But then, surprises never cease, right?
This wonderful song is a keen memory from the childhood radio listening days. As I am browsing through my collection of the 1960s, I come across the 1965 film ‘Sindbad, Alibaba, Alladin’. The list of songs rang a few bells I just happened to check the list on the blog. Two songs from this film are absolute foot tappers. One of them is already posted – “Mera Naam Jinny, Soney Ki Ginni”. But this song, is still waiting to be showcased. Well, here it is.

There is an email from Avinash ji today morning wherein he has commented about the pace of posting in the current couple of weeks. I quote – “. . . and this is where all my daily routine is getting affected, because the blog and the posts is my biggest motivation and new posts are not coming at earlier pace (leave alone my contributions 🙂 even others’ are very less, no doubt, as you had said our BOSSES must be having some other priorities#”. So not exactly taken by any surprises, still it is heartening to note that the daily routine of our fellow travelers is entwined with the set of daily posts that appear on this blog. I know there have been similar discussions and comments in the past. And the spirit continues. 🙂

Once in an interview, Hemant Kumar had the following to say about the very interesting working style of Rajendra Krishan – “. . .once the recording date got fixed, he would keep in touch with the music director. He would come and meet regularly in the studios. But he won’t work. One day, it will be a lunch outing at a place which offers a famous specialty. The next day it will be something else. The recording date is drawing near, but the lyrics are nowhere in sight. One day he will come to studio then go to the races. When just two or three days would be left before the recording date, we would start pestering and pressurizing him. He would then just smile and go sit in quiet corner, and then come back after 15 or 20 minutes with the completed song.”
Remembering Rajendra Krishan on his birth anniversary today (6th June). Born in 1919, he would have been 97 years old today.

“Aap Se Humko Bichhde Huye, Ek Zamaana Beet Gaya” – a classic from the 1969 film ‘Vishwaas’. Interesting story behind this song. Kalyanji Anandji had composed this song to be sung by Mukesh. On the day of the recording, for some reason, Mukesh could not be present. Kalyanji Anandji, for the sake of utilizing the recording session, decided to record the song anyway, in another voice. The song was supposed to be re-recorded when Mukesh would be available again for recording. Later, when re-recording was being discussed with Mukesh, he happened to listen to the song that was already recorded. So impressed was he with the voice and the rendering of this specific song, he insisted that the song be retained and included in the film as recorded. Thus was launched the singing career of a mechanical engineering graduate, who had come to Bombay initially, not to become a singer.
Wishing Manhar Udhas many happy returns of his birthday (13th May).

‘. . . given a chance, I’d choose to be an actress all over again.’ Closing words in an interview that she gave ten years before she passed away in 2000. She is the recipient of the very first Filmfare award for best female supporting role – she won it for her portrayal of a young fisherwoman, Mohnia, in the film ‘Baadban’ (1954).

Seven years, nineteen films, a celebration wedding that was the talk of the tinsel town, and then handing over the torch to the next generation. That about sums up the career of the once beauty star – Babita. Greetings to her on the 67 birthday today (20th April).
The short lived career, however, was a scintillating one. She appeared opposite to practically all the top heroes in the industry at that time, and did a number of musical romantic films, as could have be the draw for the young and beautiful lady. It is known that GP Sippy first offered the role of Sheetal, the young widow with child, for his upcoming film ‘Andaz’ (1971) to Babita. After some in-family discussions, she turned down the role, possibly considering that it might work to be a negative for her career. Another youngster, Hema Malini, took on the role. Hema Malini had made her debut in 1969, three years after Babita’s debut (‘Dus Lakh’, 1966). Both are of the same age though, having the same year of birth. The trajectories of their subsequent careers and lives, tell their own stories.

aaye bahaar ban ke
lubhaa kar chale gaye. . .
These lines would apply to so many artists, especially those whose careers in the industry have been short lived, or curtailed for various reasons. But whatever is the measure of the duration of their work in the industry, it is their creations that continue to delight us, and keeps the memories alive. Even if it is one song. And the fun part is the process of discovery that continues. Some of these lesser known artists ended up working for lesser known banners and films. Their music would only sometimes make it to the mainstream and popular cinema. Most of the time they created songs for movies that remained unknown and obscure. Today, when we dig up such unheard gems, that first encounter is such a charm and a pleasure.
Gopal Bahadur Singh is one such songwriter, whose work mostly remained confined to religious an stunt action films in the 1950s and 60s. We are more familiar with his pen name – Gopal Singh Nepali or GS Nepali, the poet who gave us the timeless bhajan – “Darshan Do Ghanshyam Nath Mori Ankhiyaan Pyaasi Re” in the film ‘Narsi Bhagat’ (1957).
Remembering GS Nepali on the anniversary of his passing away today (17th April).

Lunch and After.
The arrangement for the lunch was in an adjacent cave in the dungeon itself. We took leave of Mastermind, who had thus far been connected online with us, with the promise to reconnect, once the luncheon proceedings were done with.
