We have read about Emperor Akbar having nine officials of extra-ordinary skills and calibres in various fields in his court who were called ‘navratnas’ (nine gems). Music director, Rahul Dev Burman also had ‘navratnas’ in his ‘musical court’. In fact, some of his fans put the numbers ‘ratnas’ close to hundred. Nonetheless, if I have to confine the numbers to ‘navratnas’ in his musical team having specialisation in various fields of music, they were Marutirao Keer (Tabla, Percussion), Basu Chakravarty (Cello), Manohari Singh (Clarinet, Flute), Bhanu Gupta (Harmonica, Rhythm Guitar), Bhupinder Singh (Guitar), Homi Mullan (Duggi, Secondary Percussions), Devichand Chauhan (Dholak, Tabla), Amritrao Katkar (Tabla, Secondary Percussions), and Ranjit Gazmer (Maadal). They were the core team of musicians who exclusively worked for S D Burman and R D Burman. It was only when they had spare time from Burman’s assignments, some of them did work for other music directors.

Missing Films of 1960s – 106
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Today, we bring on board the 1968 film ‘Balram Srikrishna’. We are now down to some of the most obscure films on this list of pending films of 1960s. However, the film itself is available, and the video clip of this song is uploaded. As the name suggests, it is a mythological / historical film based on our scriptures. It depicts some of the episodes from the stories related to the Sri Krishna avataar of the Supreme Lord. And Balram is the name of the elder brother of Sri Krishna in this incarnation.

So, minus 1 and plus 1, we still got to the 100th Yippeee film yesterday.

Minus 1 because on 3rd April, Atul ji had announced the Yippeee-ing of the film ‘Razia Sultan’ (1983), after posting its ‘sixth + seventh’ songs together – an announcement that turned out to be incorrect. Avinash ji pointed out that there is still one more song to be posted from this film. With some more leg work and info-search we now have more detailed info about the song list of this film. Below is the details of the songs of ‘Razia Sultan’ that I had shared with Atul ji the same day, in email.

Watching the picturisation of this song makes one feel like one had come across one old acquintance after a long time. This old acquaintance is a song of the genre called “seduction” song. In such songs a lesser female actor would seek to seduce the hero by singing a song typically sung by Asha Bhonsle.

Generally as I keep locating songs online, I keep creating a draft email on Outlook with lyrics immediately transcribed. This list is generally 15 to 20 deep and so the songs that I pick up today generally end up reaching the blog for posting about 8 to 10 days later. But sometimes I come across such a wonderful melody, or an extreme favorite that I have been waiting for long, that I am generally tempted to send it along right away. That is the case with this song. And once you hear it, I am sure you will understand my urgency for forwarding it 🙂

“Parasmani” (1963) was a B grade Hindi movie of the kind that were typically passed over by the mainstream Hindi movie watchers. But this movie had such stunning music that people sat up and took notice. and the music may have brought substantially more number of people to the movie halls than what a typical B grade movie merited.
