#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?

(Rajesh Khanna’s 82nd Birth Anniversary)
—————————————————-

Today 29th December 2024 is the eighty-second birth anniversary of Rajesh Khanna (29.12.2024-18.07.2012). On this occasion, we have paid our tributes to him by presenting a few songs picturised on him. In this post I am presenting one more song picturised on him.

This song is from the movie ‘Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar’. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 21.01.1984. In the year ‘1984’there were three movies released based on the same theme that dealt with our socio-political scenario and prevalent corruption and corrupt practices among governing institutions in the country. These were the movies Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar’, ‘Inquilaab’ and ‘Yeh Desh’. However, if one notices, while the movie ‘Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar’ was categorized as a movie from ‘social genre’ the other two movies viz. ‘Inquilaab’ and ‘Yeh Desh’ were categorized as ‘patriotic’ or ‘deshbhaktee pradhaan’ movies. Among these three movies, only ‘Inquilaab’ was said to be a successful movie. The movie ‘Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar’ was praised by critics but it was said to be a commercial failure.

Today 22nd December’2024 is the 6001st day for the blog. So it is another important day since it is the ‘starting point’ of a ‘new beginning’ again. At one of my previous employer my senior always uses to say that the first day of every month is the most suitable day to start anything new. Here the context was of implementing new things, new procedures, new SOPs at workplace. In our day to day routine also when a calendar month ends and a new month begins we generally are excited and it does give a ‘new feeling’ and motivates to take a ‘fresh guard’. I remember in my childhood days when the song from ‘Pehli Taareekh’ used to play on radio, listening to it was very joyful, and even now whenever this song is played on ‘Vividh Bhartee’ on first day of a month it gives me the same excitement and feeling.
