In this article, I am taking up the film, ‘Sailaab’ (1990) for the only reason that the chartbuster song from the film which is my all-time favourite dance song of Madhuri Dixit is yet to appear on the Blog. The film would have faded from the memory of the current generation but for this cult dance song. The video of this song which was uploaded only about five years back has already attained 11 million views.

‘Sheesha’ (1986) was produced by Sattee Shourie and was directed by Basu Chatterji. The cast included Mithun Chakraborty, Moon Moon Sen, Mallika Sarabhai, Vijayendra Ghatge, Suresh Chatwal, Naaz, Mrinalini, Madhumeeta, Guddi Maruti, Nandita Thakur, Sudha Chopra, Bhagwan Sinha, Ranjana Sachdev, Arvind Deshpande, Shakeela Majeed etc. The film’s story was based on a Bengali novel, ‘Maan Sammaan’ written by Mani Shankar Mukherjee. The film was delayed in its completion due to budgetary constraints and the creative differences between the producer and the director. At one time, the film remained incomplete for a year or so until Mithun Chakraborty persuaded Sattee Shourie to let the film be completed for which he gave up a part of his fee. Basu Chatterji also waived his last instalment of fee. The film was certified by CBFC on June 15, 1986. The film got the theatrical release on October 3, 1986.

When Atul started the series of “Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice”, he had asked readers to suggest actresses, whose name started with the letter B and whose Asha Bhosle’s song have not been covered on this blog. When he covered the letter B he kindly took up my suggestion of Bhanupriya. Bhagyashree was the other actress. I had also suggested Bipasha Basu, but the song suggested by me was only a background song and not lip-synched by the actress. As a comment to the B-instalment of Atul’s series, I also mentioned Bharati Sharma. So the next post, God-willing, will cover the song dil lagaane ko dil from Hai Golmaal in White House (2013).

Bhagyashree’s story is unlike that of most Bollywood actresses. Long before she became a household name, she was born into royalty. She hails from the illustrious Patwardhan family of Sangli in Maharashtra and is the great-granddaughter of Chintamanrao Dhundirao Patwardhan, the last ruling Raja of the princely state of Sangli during British rule.

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #

#Drunkard Songs -4 #

Today’s drunkard song is from the movie ‘Mawaali-1983’.

‘Mawaali-1983’ was directed by K. Bapaiyya for ‘Padmalaya Studios, Madras’. G. Hanumantha Rao was the producer of this ‘social’ movie passed by Censor Board on 28.10.1983.

By this time in 1983 I was studying in Std-XI with ‘PCM+ Vocational Subjects’. But, I was more interested in cricket and Rajesh Khanna movies than in my studies. But even then I had not watched this movie ‘Mawaali-1983’. I was averse to these Jeetendra movies coming from South directors except ‘Himmatwaalaa’ (since it was a first of its kind and discussed a lot then), ‘Tohfaa’ and ‘Maqsad’. ‘Tohfaa’ had some good songs and I watched it with many interested family members who had assigned me the task of booking the tickets for this movie.

Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part VII

(Actresses whose name begin with the letter G)

In the first six episodes of the series, we listed actresses whose names begin with the first six letters of the alphabet and who had lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog. They we went on to cover a song that was lip synced by another acresses whose name began with the same letter and who had not lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog.

We managed to find “new” actresses (whose name begin with the first six letters of the alphabet) lip syncing in Asha Bhonsle’s voice for the first time in the blog. They were Anju Mahendru, Bhanupriya,Chandrakala,Divya Bharati, Ekta and Farheen.

This article is the 20400th song post in the blog.

Blog Day :6554Post No. :20400

Previous blog century (20300th song post) appeared on 30 May 2026. 29 days later, we reach the next blog century viz blog post number 20400.

It appeared like we reached the coveted summit of song post 20000 just recently. And now we havealready added another 400 songs to our tally.

In case of the previous century, the century song was identifed in advance. Here in this case, I decided on the song last evening, but when I looked at the songs that preceded the century song, I decided that the century song needed to sound as good as the songs that preceded it early in the day. So I have picked a song that I had earlier earmarked for some other special occasion. I decided that a century post is as special an occasion as any for that song.

This song is from “Apne Paraaye”(1980). This movie in a way is a throwback to those days of yore when story of the movie was taken from a novel written by an eminent littérateur and the movie made on the story would be faithful to the story line contained in the literary masterpiece.

“Apne Paraaye”(1980) was based on a Bengali novel, ‘Nishkriti’ (1917) by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay needs no introduction, of course. His stories have been made into a large number of well known movies in several languages. His story of “Devdas” itself has been made into over 20 movies in various languages, four of them being in Hindi alone.

Moving ahead with the series on Asha Bhosle singing for actresses whose first names begin with the letter “A”, we come to Archana Joglekar.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, three actresses from the Marathi film industry crossed over to Hindi cinema with varying degrees of success. They were Archana Joglekar, Ashwini Bhave, and Varsha Usgaonkar. Although the Hindi film industry was based in Bombay (now Mumbai), only a few leading Marathi actresses were able to establish themselves in Hindi films. Usha Kiran and Jayshree Gadkar were notable exceptions. Most other Marathi actresses found work primarily in supporting roles.

I first started noticing Archana Joglekar (without knowing her name at the time) in the early 1980s as a model and in Marathi programmes on Bombay Doordarshan. By the mid-1980s, she had also begun appearing in Marathi films. Soon thereafter, she made her Hindi film debut with Mardon Mein Mard (1987). She subsequently played a leading role in an Odia film and, later in her career, also acted in a Tamil film. During the 1990s, she gradually reduced her film appearances but expanded her repertoire by working in television serials. It was also during this period that she married Dr. Nirmal Muley and moved to the United States.
