Once I post the century post in the blog, I heave a big sigh of relief and tell myself that I am free from tension as the next century post is far far away. So it came as a surprise to me that the next cenbtury post for the blog has arrived. I thought that the previous blog century post had appeared just a few days ago ! How can we reach the next century so fast ? On checking up, I realised that the previous century post viz blog post number 18500 has appeared on 14 september 2024. Today is 3 November, so fifty days have passed. 100 songs in 50 days are to be expected, even with the slow rate of posts that we have settled into now a days.

Today’s song is from the film Chhupa Rustom-1973.

This was a Dev Anand film. Once upon a time, when I was very very young, I was very fond of his every film. He looked so cute, handsome and a real film Hero ! As the years rolled by, I saw less and less films. The last film that I enjoyed in which Dev was a hero was, perhaps, Guide -1965. Thereafter Dev Anand’s cute looks started fading, age was showing on his face and probably on his brain too, because he refused to accept that he was no more a cute looking actor. The result was saddening. Further, he was adamant in writing his own film stories, directing them and acting also as a Hero.

2011 was the year when Dharam Devdutt Pishorimal Anand bid Adieu to this world. God it is four years since then. Seems like yesterday when I saw the news in the early hours of that Saturday and I had passed on the news to my Daddy dearest. He was 88 when he passed away. And by then he had acted in over 110 films and produced approximately 30 films. That is such a large number.

Remembering (belatedly) Vijay Anand on the anniversary of his passing away (23 Feb, 2004).

Really very few artists and film makers in the industry have been as versatile as Vijay Anand has been. Active in the industry since the early 1950s, Vijay is the youngest of the three Anand brothers. He did have an advantage of two elder siblings, Chetan Anand and Dev Anand, having made a place for themselves in the industry, when he also decided to take the plunge. And under the umbrella of his illustrious seniors, he had the opportunity to delve and develop a multi faceted career. In a career that spans more than five decades, Vijay Anand, or Goldie as he was known to his friends, made his mark as a screenplay and dialogue writer, as a director, as a producer, as an editor, and as an actor. His works are limited, given the span of his career, but the quality of his work speaks for itself. The films he has directed are outstanding, and he is acknowledged as the best director for picturization of songs, in the Indian film industry. In this aspect of film making, which is supremely significant given the musical nature of Indian cinema, he is without a peer.

Vijay Anand, the youngest of the Anand brothers clan, is a name very familiar. More so as a producer and director, who has to his credit such rollicking hits like ‘Nau Do Gyaarah’ (1957), ‘Kaala Bazaar’ (1960), ‘Teesri Manzil’ (1966), ‘Jewel Thief’ (1967), ‘Johnny Mera Naam’ (1970) and ‘Tere Mere Sapne’ (1971). He was the director for the magnum opus production of ‘Guide’ (1965) for Dev Anand, arguably the best film of Hindi Cinema.

This movie is called “Chhupa Rustam” (1965) which could translate to “undercover agent” in English. Now this movie and this song actually are “Chhupa Rustam” in the sense that few people including the authoritative Geet Kosh seem to be aware of this song. For that matter, people are not even aware of the existence of this movie either though movies of the same name which were released in 1970s and 1990s are somewhat better known.
