Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No. 21
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years back viz on 6 February 2013, seven songs from sevendifferent movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
7453 Ho morey baalma kaahe maari kataar Shair (1949) Shamshad Begam-Rafi duet. Movie YIPPEED by now
7454 Koi dard hamaara kya samjhe Rangeeli(1952) Lata Mangeshkar solo. 3 songs covered out of 9 by now
7455 Ham bhi karte hain pyaar samajh mein aaya College Girl (1960) Rafi-Lata duet. Movie YIPPEED by now
7456 Phoolon taley ham tumse miley Nadirshah (1968) Lata Mangeshkar solo. Movie YIPPEED by now
7457 Tu mera din hai main teri raat Sanyaasi (1975) Suman Kalyanpur-Mukesh duet. 7 songs covered out of 9 by now
7458 Band lifaafe mein jaise Chalta Purza (1977) Lata-Kishore Kumar duet. Movie YIPPEED by now
7459 Teriya teriya Chaalis Baba Ek Chor(1954) Lata-C Ramchandra duet. 8 songs covered out of 12 by now

We observe that four movies (out of seven) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago (on 6 February 2013) have since been YIPPEED. We also observe that as many as five songs had the voice of Lata Mangeshkar in them. Coincidence ? Or divine scheme of things ? Today ten years later, we have already discussed four Lata Mangeshkar songs (out of seven songs). We have yet to take up Blog Ten Year Challenge and they too offer us opportunities to covered Lata Mangeshkar songs.

A week before the 12th birth anniversary of the Blog on July 19, 2020, an idea propped up in my mind. Some time back, I had read the interviews of a 78 RPM record collector of Indore and also of the vintage gramophone turn-table collectors of Pala near Kottayam which were published in some newspapers. Atul ji’s Blog has been in existence for 12 years with almost daily posting of songs. With nearly 15800 songs spread over 4300 films covered and a hit of a little over 1,36,22,000, the Blog must have attained the numero uno position among the musical blogs in India. This is a great achievement. So, I felt that the creator of this Blog – Atul Besra deserves to be interviewed which should get published in newspapers/magazines. This was just my momentary thought.

We return to the ‘ Melody yatra of the 50s ‘ with yet another song from film Nadaan-51. This film was made by M and T Films, Bombay. Directed by Heera Singh, it was produced by S R Bhattacharya. The Chic Chocolate was the music director. In the credits of the film it was mentioned that the music was given under the “supervision” of C.Ramchandra. The cast of the film was Madhubala, Dev Anand,Mubarak, Madan Puri, Manmohan krishna, Sunalini Devi etc etc.

The 7th song in the series ” Vintage Kishore ” is from film Rangilee-52.

It is an unique song and was a novelty in those days because then such things were not even imagined. This is the First song of Kishore in which he sang in two voices-male and Female. I said ‘First’ because Kishore did this feat once more in the film ” Half Ticket”-1962 wherein he sang Aake seedhi lagi in male and female voices. This ‘Half ticket’ song was posted on this Blog on 8-2-2009. Under the comments of this song I found a comment from Lalitha ji wherein she did mention about an earlier similar song by Kishore. Unfortunately she could not state the film name or the mukhda of the song. Except for this mention,I have not come across anyone who knew about Kishore’s earlier similar song.

“Rangeeli” (1952) was an M & T Production movie. It was directed by Najam Naqvi. This obscure movie had Raj Kumar, S. Nazir, Leela Misra, Yakub, Rehana etc in it. I presume that the Raj Kumar of this movie is one of the lesser known Raj Kumars.

Ps-Mr Harish Raghuwanshi, the compiler of Mukesh Geetkosh and a regular of this blog informs me that this movie in fact was the debut movie of the famous Raj Kumar. So this Raj Kumar is in fact the well known “Jaani” Raj Kumar.

We are all familar with the names of music directors whose names figure in the credits of a movie. Sometimes, when one looks closely, one may be able to have a glimpse of the Assistant music director. When I look at the credits of a Hindi movie, I especially look for the screen showing the list of assistants and sometimes I manage to read the name.
