One of the key threads of genres that runs through the films of 1960s is an array of action films that were centered around the he-man actor Dara Singh.  This was the period when Dara Singh constituted an entire segment of the film industry all by himself.  Stories and screenplays were written keeping him as the center of the universe.  His larger than life physical presence, his standing as a real life body builder and wrestler of international repute, and his reputation as an upright person with very clean habits and a very honest, very humane person – all these characteristics made him a very popular figure with the masses.  Here was a screen hero who would be easily idolized by the common man, for the simple reason that his screen roles were a very close reflection of his real life persona.

Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan – 2

         Bombay Gangout – Part 2
         After the Breakfast.

After having amicably negotiated the breakfast time, the gang members descended again to the secret basement chambers, to start the day’s proceedings in earnest.  I will have to now write a little bit more about Bombay syndicate members, as we were getting more and more familiar with every passing minute.  The most energetic and the most engaging personality of the hour was definitely the IndiaMan.  He has a joke ready for every occasion, for every topic. Let me tell you why I used the epithet – ‘the antithetic patella specialist’ for him.

From the very early childhood, probably the deepest interest that I have is gathering and storing away in memory – facts, curious info, peculiar data, and a plethora of such interesting information that I would use (still use 🙂 ) to make interesting conversations and, ahem, impressing others  :).  In short, I have been a General Knowledge (GK) buff since I was toddler.  In my class, I was known as the best and the worst – always scored the highest, mostly perfect scores, in the GK papers, and always, without fail, scored the lowest in art and painting.  (The art teachers were generous; they would give me just enough not to spoil my averages.)

This article is the 10700th song post in the blog.

Chilly winter greetings to all from a cold, cold Delhi. As I sit and write this post, the minimum temperature that continues to be maintained is in the range of 2 – 4 degrees C.  Add to that the fog that keeps the warm sun away from the view.  And top it up with rain that has been visiting us off and on.  When I woke up today morning, it was drizzling.  And the leaves of the trees waving in a brisk breeze told the story that it is going to be another chilly day.  And so it has been for the past couple of weeks.  Although I enjoy such weather, but there have been other circumstances, associated with the weather, that have kept me occupied and away from the blog activities.  But today, we must celebrate.

Time to take a breather. Ah, well, not on Atul-Song-a-Day blog. For the celebrations are afoot, and the special songs have to be processed and posted, in time for deadlines.

Talking about deadlines, in the past week to ten days, we have been missing quite a few of them. I was in email communication with Atul ji earlier today. You see, he had informed us well in advance that his family will be with him during the closing weeks of the year, and he would have very little time to devote to the blog activities. Ah yes, when the boss is around, . . . . 🙂

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 10
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

The year would have been 1966 or 1967. Yash Chopra’s now iconic film ‘Aadmi Aur Insaan’ was on the drawing boards. Yash ji approached a very up and coming actress of singular beauty with an offer for the lead female role. And the young lady, all of maybe 22 or 23 years old, declined; with reason that she was quitting films. The role then was taken up by Saira Banu. The film, with some delays, got released in 1969, and went on to be a successful box office earner in its own right. The lady who declined the role, appeared in the same year in another blockbuster of a movie that actually catapulted her, and her leading man in that film, to heights of stardom.

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 9
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

A small child’s memory is so retentive, just like a sponge. I am sure other friends and listeners who lived by the music broadcast on the radio, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, would surely remember this fabulous Bhojpuri song. It is one of those unforgettable memories that will continue to play in the minds forever. It is just the way that Rafi Sb has sung this, makes it so endearing. The feeling is almost as if someone is tickling.

I have an old diary where I noted down lyrics of songs that I liked those days ( in 1976). I find that many of the songs that I have written down in that diary are popular even today. On the other hand, some very popular songs of those days have been forgotten.

Here is one such forgotten song. Now a days when we are rediscovering old gems, here is my contribution towards that exercise. This song is certainly an old gem of R D Burman, which deserves to be cleaned and dusted, and put on display as one of the masterpieces of R D Burman.

“Yaadon ki baraat” was a movie full of memorable foot tapping numbers. Its songs are what I would call party songs. These songs were sung in parties in the movie. In fact, the entire movie was full of parties and every party had one memorable party song.

One song that was extremely popular among teens like me was the song where the boy invites a girl to come to the stage. A dream situation for desi teens those days. No wonder I simply loved this song.
