When I was growing up in 1970s, I had heard of Gulshan Nanda a lot. Gulshan Nanda was the most popular Hindi novelist of that time. How popular he was could be judged from the fact that several of his novels were made into popular Hindi movies with same titles. For instance, “Kati Patang” (1970) was made based on his novel of the same name.

4 june is the birth anniversary of not one but two actresses of the golden era of Hindi movies. One is Bina Rai and another is Nutan. And what a coincidence that both of them were born on the same day in the same year. Both of them were born on 4 june 1936.

Here is yet another song of the genre “how come this song was not posted earlier !”. And all along, I was under the impression that this song was discussed long back. I was wrong in my assumption, of course.

Jabse laagi tose najariyaa

I often get confused between the two similarly named movies of 1960s, viz “Shikaar” and “Shikaari”. The confusion is compounded by the fact that both movies had similar storylines, where the hero would go to a jungle for “shikaar” where he would enounter tribals wearing Red Indian/ African kinds of heargears etc and the daughter of the chief would be the chief female dancer among the tribal dance troupe that would sing and dance at the drop of a spear.

When I saw the lyrics of this song sent to me by nahm, I thought that she had sent this lyrics by mistake. How can this song be not yet posted ? But when I checked up, I found that not only this song, but in fact none of the songs of this movie, namely “Neela Aakash” (1965) have figured in the blog so far. So that makes this song a “How come this song is ot yet posted !” category of song.

This article is written by Sadanand Kamath, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
If some of the children’s songs in Hindi films are of any indication, we get an impression that children of our country grow up quite early in terms of their maturity and actions. Some of such songs are addressed to the parents, elders and even to God. Of course, this is but one of the cinematic liberties which those associated with making films is entitled to. However, I now find that most of the children in the internet age are indeed far ahead in terms of maturity and thinking than the children of our younger days. So kudos to our Hindi film fraternity for being ahead of time in this regard!

Kya nazaare kyaa sitaare

In 1970s, when I was growing up as a pre teen kid, I had noticed that Gulshan Nanda was the most popular Hindi novelist. His novels were read by all grown ups. Kids were not supposed to read such grown up stuff. Being a precocious and eager kid, I managed to read a few Gulshan Nanda novels even then and I loved the novels. I wonder what was low brow in these novels (as alleged by literary magaziones of those days).
