This article is the 19800th song post in the blog. This article also marks the 300th duet of Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle in the blog.

Blog Day :

6384 Post No. : 19800

That occasion is here again. The occasion when we reach a blog century post and then start wondering which song to cover as the century song. This time, I had a genneral idea that which artists should figure in the sopng. Apart from that, I was just as unprepared for the occasion as I generally am whenever a blog century appears. Acting at the eleventh hour and 59th minute has become aa hit with me it seems. 🙂

I was very clear in my mind (and this clarity came to me when the blog was still some 50 songs short of this century) that the song has to be a duet of Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. The reason was that together these two prolific and popular singers had as many as 295 duets in the blog and I wanted the blog century to coincide with their 300th duet in the blog.

I think most regulars will agree that the best duets sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle are already showcased in the blog. Take a sample of their songs that are already covered in the blog :-

We can see that the above list (which is indicative not exhaustive) is full of all time classic duets that have already been covered in the blog. Most of them were covered during the earlier days of the blog itself.

Seeing that most great Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhonsle duets were already covered in the blog, finding a suitable duet for the occasion was a tall order for me. I have looked at more than thirty as yet uncovered duets. They were all very good songs, but somehow I was not satisfied in my mind that they suited the occasion. After spending considerable time looking at over thirty songs, I finally decided that I had a suitable song from the occasion. This song, like most Kishore Kumar- Ashha Bhonsle songs listed above, is an all time popular song. There are some other all time popular songs by them in the same era but I did not pick them for various reasons, such as picturisation not upto the mark, the music sounding repetitive etc.

The song that I have picked is a great song to listen to, and a great song to watch. This song appears like a great example to team work. This kind of song situation have been seen quite a few times during the time when this song came up, and so it was a challenge for lyricists to come up with lyrics that would do justice to the song sitution. It must be said that the lyricist has come up with lyrics that were so catchy that the song quickly caught public imagination and the song became a very popular song on loudspeakers.

If one watched the picturisation, one realised that the people who were incharge of picturisation had left no stones (in this case kalse) unturned in getting the song picturised in a grand manner. Water vessels (Kalse) are the major attrackting of the picturisation. An enourmous number of kalse are arranged in different patterns as the song proceeds.

The song begins with female dancers standing in two columns. They throw kalash held by them into sky towards the femaledancersstanding on the opposite column, who catch then expertly like good cricket fielders, and the throw them back from where they came. All this while Sri Devi runs between the two columns,with such good timing that her run does not interrupt the kash throwing that is going on.

When the song begins, Jeetendra and Sri Devi are seen performing various PT exercises that passes for dance. 🙂 Yes, that is what I noticed about the dance movements of the lead pair. 🙂

Overall, it is great singing and great picturisation that keeps the music lovers enthralled throughout the song.

So, here is the 19800th song in the blog which also happens to be the 300th Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhonsle duet in the blog.

The movie is “Tohfa”(1984). It was produced by D Ram Naidu and directed by K Raghavendra Rao for Suresh Productions, Madras. The movie had Jeetendra, Sridevi, Jayaprada, Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Mohan Choti, Urmila Bhatt, Leela Mishra, Jagdeep, Aruna Irani, Jayshree T, Master Rinku etc. Asrani was also there in a friendly appearance.

Tohfa had five songs in it. Two songs have been covered in the blog.

While covering a previous song from this movie, I had commented that Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle had the ability to make an otherwise ordinary song with average lyrics sound wonderful. In a way, they were keeping the standard of HFM high with their singing even though the quality of lyrics and music was going down after 1980s.

Here is a great song from post golden era of HFM that was as good as those composed during the golden era. A song fit to be the 19800th song in the blog and also a song fit to be the 300th Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhonsle duet in the blog.

So we will again take fresh guard and will continue remoselessly in our onward musical journey. Here is hoping that we continue to reach many more destinations in our journey and we continue to find many hidden and forgotten musical gems along the way.

I take this opportunity to thank one and all for their support and encouragement that keeps this musical bandwagon going on and on. We are now just 200 songs short of the magic figure of 20000. A mind boggling figure, but one that is within striking distance.

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
———————————————————————

Today 27th November 2025 is the seventy-third birth anniversary of Composer Singer Bappi Lahiri (27.11.1952-15.02.2022). On this occasion as a tribute to him I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Sinhaasan-1986’.

I got to listen to this song earlier this year when I was still at Vadodara and was travelling from the city to my workplace around 47 kms from the city. I had earlier presented filmography of Bappi Lahiri for his Hindi Films from the 1970s and also for few years of the 1980s. However I did not include it in my series of Bappi Lahiri songs where I had presented songs that are part of my memory till 1985, because this song did not fall in that category.

Today’s movie ‘Sinhaasan-1986’ was directed by Krishna who also produced it for ‘Padmalaya Studio, Madras’. So this is one of those movies of actor Jeetendra where he was a part of many films coming from the southern part of the country. Bappi Lahiri too was the regular music composer for such films. I have not watched this movie, so can’t say much about it. However it seems to be a ‘fantasy’ movie. The cast of this movie has Jeetendra, Jaya Prada, Pran, Kader Khan, Mandakini, Shakti Kapoor, Bharat Bhooshan, Dr Shreeram Lagoo, Amjad Khan, Sujit Kumar, Gulshan Grover, Gurbachan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Waheeda Rehman, Radha and others.

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————

Yesterday the festival of Naag Panchamee was celebrated all over the country. I read that the tithhee of Naag Panchamee falls on both days viz 29th and 30th July. However the auspicious (mahurat) timings for the offering the prayers was yesterday only, and that too was for just couple of hours. Initially I was looking for a song from the older movies which could be fit for the occasion, however due to changed priorities, I could not share a post yesterday. Before I could finalise a song I came across an article on internet which was about the vanished genres of film stories in recent years. Till the decade of seventies many movies were still made with mythological stories and the films about snakes and ichchhaadhaaree naag or naagin were being made in those decades. Even in the eighties we had films like ‘Naginaa-1986’, ‘Nagin Aur Nagina-1988’(dubbed movie), ‘Nigaahen-1989’, ‘Doodh Kaa Karz-1990’, ‘Tum Mere Ho-1990’ etc.

Hullo Atuldom

There is a saying “That Birds Of A Feather Flock” together.

This space in cyberworld that goes by the name “ATULSONGADAY.ME” is where some birds or lovers of music of the genre called “Film Sangeet” congregate. The main aim initially, was to appreciate the efforts of one man called Atul who got the idea of compiling songs which he thought were important to him & were from his ‘List of Favourites’.

He began the journey on 19th July 2008 with this post. It was a short post but gave absolutely accurate lyrics of a song written by Kaifi Azmi & composed by Roshan. There were 13 posts in that July, that is the blog lived up to its name of “SONGADAY”.

Hullo Atuldom

Wishing our guiding force; ex-Ranchiwala now-Bhopali Gaanewala, usually addressed as Atulji by the followers of ASAD (acronym for atulsongaday) A Very Happy Birthday. I thank him (as always) for providing us this platform where “birds of a feather flock together”. What started as a place for one post (not necessarily one song though, as some posts contain all versions of a song) a day had become a multi-post per day blog after the initial few months of its journey. May today and all of your days be creative and innovative.

The ‘parallel cinema’ refers to films which have been made as the alternative to the mainstream commercial films. Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil are regarded as the ‘parallel cinema stars’ because they mostly worked in woman-centric parallel films and most of their such films like ‘Ankur’ (1974), ‘Nishant’ (1975), ‘Manthan’ (1976), ‘Bhumika’ (1977), ’Arth’ (1982) etc were box office success. Shabana Azmi, with the success of her very first parallel film, started acting in the mainstream commercial films with ‘Fakira’ (1976) in a lead role. Smita Patil on the other hand kept herself aloof from mainstream commercial films until 1981. What led her to sign mainstream commercial films from 1981 onwards?
