Today, August 24, 2025, is the 25th Remembrance Day of Kalyanji of the music director duo, Kalyanji-Anandji. Surprisingly, none of the two brothers had any inkling of becoming music director when Anandji started his amateure orchestra group doing live variety stage shows in around Girgaum area. Kalyanji, his elder brother joined this group after completion of his boarding school where he had learn to play various musical instruments.
Kalyanji (30/06/1928 0 24/08/2000) was born to Virji Shah, a Jain businessman from Kutch who migrated to Mumbai in early 20th century to set up the grocery and dry-fruit shops in Mangalwadi, Girgaum area of South Mumbai, a predominately Marathi and Gujarati speaking region. While Kalyanji was sent to a boarding school, Anandji, his 5 year junior younger brother joined the local school. In those days, there were many film personalities like V Shantaram, Durga Khote, Shanta Apte, Kikubhai Desai (father of Subhash and Manmohan Desai), some crew members and the film musicians staying in Girgaum. Anandji learnt percussions from a music teacher in lieu of his outstanding grocery bills of his father’s shop. However, his Jain mother did not allow him to bring the Dholak at home because it had animal skin. So, he had to keep his Dholak at his music teacher’s house. Similarly, he gained some working knowledge of Hindustani classical music when he started giving tanpura accomplishment to a Hindustani classical vocalist of his locality during her practice session for which she would give him a chocolate as reward.

2 December 2023 was the 9th Remembrance Day of Deven Verma (23/10/1937 – 02/12/2014) who had taken comical performances in Hindi films on a different level. Gulzar had said about Deven Verma that he was not a comedian but an actor. I think, he must have made this statement with his experience of working with him in ‘Angoor’ (1982). His performance was devoid of buffoonery but was loaded with gentle humour, wit, and pun. His wife, Roopa Ganguly had said that her husband was a witty person in his real life.

Hullo Atuldom
The favourite singer of millions of Indian Mohammed Rafi was born on 24th December 1924. That means we, his fans, would have been celebrating his 97th birthday this year. But that was not to be. He just left this mortal world in July 1980 at the age of 55.

Hullo Atuldom
“Bond 303” (1985) was produced B.C. Devra and directed by Ravi Tandon. It was one of those movies that was in the making for a long time.
It was one of the three movies that had Jeetendra play a Spy- an Indian James Bond. His James Bond act began with his ‘mast bahaaron ka main aashiq’ in “Farz” (1967) continued with “Raksha” (1981) {in both these movies Jeetendra was Agent 116}. “Bond 303” was the third in that list.

Hullo all in Atuldom
Saw a good clean movie with a straight forward story today. The story was almost as if inspired from the life of Valmiki.
Let me begin at the beginning. As I was writing my previous post on Hrishikesh Mukherjee I went through the filmography and saw that I had missed out seeing Sabse Bada Sukh; Arjun Pandit; Naukri; Achcha Bura; Naamumkin (of the 70s and 80s) and a few from the earlier decades. So, I decided since I have the time I shall see one today. But before that I was looking for songs where Sachin Dev Burman and Majrooh Sultanpuri had collaborated and was also hoping that all the songs of this duo had not bee posted. And sure enough all the extremely popular albums – Paying Guest, Solva Saal, Lajwanti, Nau Do Gyarah, Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi etc- that the two have worked together on have made their appearance on the blog. So that left me with the 70s to put under the search engine (because post 31st October 1975 SD Burman was not there). The 70s have given us a few gems from this duo- Phagun, Abhimaan, Sagina, Arjun Pandit etc. and on running through “the list of songs moviewise and checking up the status of these movies I found we have one song posted from Arjun Pandit, all songs of Abhimaan, Phagun (3 out of 6) Sagina (all songs posted). That left only Arjun Pandit for my use. Then I checked up number of songs in the movie and one out of three are posted.

Hullo to all in Atuldom
So now we are all busy discussing the pros and cons of the demonetisation on our WhatsApp group. We are also having a fair number of jokes on the subject. But as our dear thandapani mentioned last week when our PM dropped the demonetisation bomb (as I like to call it) I have also decided to wait and watch for the rush at the banks and cash ATMs. At such a time a few songs ran through my mind. Let us have one of them today.

Deven Verma, the Actor-Comedienne-Producer-Director was 77 when he passed away last year. Unbelievable that it’s a whole year since then. How time flies but certain voids are never filled.
