Yesterday, I was watching the song, gumsum saa ye jahaan ye raat ye hawaa from the film, ‘Duniya Jhuktee Hai’ (1960). An idea came to me as to how many Hindi films songs may have the word ‘gumsum’ in the first line of the mukhda of the songs. I checked on the internet and found that over two dozen songs had the word, ‘gumsum’ in the first line of the mukhda. There may be more Hindi film songs with ‘gumsum’ but they may appear elsewhere in the songs. I selected few such songs to watch/listen. One of ‘gumsum’ songs which I heard for the first time and liked so much that I must have heard umpteen times. It is a beautifully crafted song in terms of lyrics, rendition, orchestration and the picturisation. The song is ‘gumsum kyun hai sanam o zaraa maan jaa’ from the film, ‘Bhala Maanush’ (1979) which I am presenting in this short write-up, concentrating mainly on the song. Gulshan Bawra wrote this song.

The song in this post is a nice composition, albeit a lesser heard song that has been forgotten alongwith its movie which had failed at the box office. This movie is ‘Jaan E Jaan’ or ‘Nikammaa’. This movie was launched in the mid-seventies with the title ‘Nikammaa’, but it got delayed and after completion it was finally released in the year 1983 with the title ‘Jaan E Jaan’. If one watches the movie for first fifteen minutes one can find why it was titled as ‘Nikammaa’ earlier, because its hero Raju, in-spite of being graduate doesn’t have any job and even if somebody recommends him for a job he loses it because he is naive and a simpleton(read stupid).

A very Happy 2025 to Atuldom

Normally, at the turn of the calendar, i.e. beginning of the New Year, people decide on the activities that they will undertake from Day 1 of the new year. These are generally categorised as New Year resolutions. These resolutions could be of giving up a bad-habit like smoking, flying off-the handle at slightest provocation, or looking after their health by taking up exercising or walks etc. People manage to be true to their resolutions for a few days, weeks or at the most a month. Very few manage to keep up the promise they have made to themselves for longer periods. As for myself, I have never made promises or resolutions so that I don’t feel let down (by myself).
But, there is always a thought at the back of my head that I should be more aggressive and send more posts to Atulji. I managed it to an extent in 2023 but the pace fell in 2024. I am not going to give reasons for my slackness, and most of my reasons are genuine (in my own thoughts).

Today 8th September’2024 is the 91st birth anniversary (born on 08.09.1933) of legendary singer Asha Bhonsle.

It is customary for us on this blog that we post songs related to the celebrity on the day and discuss about their filmography or biography. Today’s celebrity singer Asha Bhonsle is already a living legend and there is nothing new left for me to add as far as her biography or filmography is concerned. Much has already been written about her online as well as in the print media. Sometimes new facts are brought to our notice through publications about them. We try to include such facts when we become aware of them . There is nothing new to report about Asha Bhonsle in this post. In this post I am bringing a lesse heard song of Asha Bhonsle to the notice of music lovers. I became aware of this song recently and I liked it a lot.

Hullo Atuldom

Jackie Shroff made his debut as a leading man in 1983 through the Subhash Ghai directed “Hero”. Following its success he was signed up for ‘Teri Meherbaniyan’, ‘Yudh’, ‘Karma’, ‘Shiva ka Insaaf ‘ etc. Of these, ‘Shiva Ka Insaaf’ that released in 1985 was advertised as India’s first 3-D movie. Additionally, it had the hero donning a cape ‘a la Zorro’. As far as story was concerned (as I can recall) it was as follows:-

Remembering Mukesh on his birthday, today 22 July.

As most of my posts feature Mukesh, many of my views on his songs could sound cliches. But then there is so much to write on his voice as words fail every time an attempt is made. There are songs on various aspects, emotions and circumstances one faces in life. I could stick my neck out and say that even many of his sad songs bring joyful solace to the heart. For, the voice sans the music and even the literal meaning of the lyrics feels as if a divine entity is trying to convey the many facets of life.
