Hullo Atuldom
18th August 2025. It is the 92nd birthday (completes 91) of a most revered lyricist/ poet, writer and film director of Hindi Films. He was born Sampooran Singh Kalra in a Sikh family in the small town of Dina (now in Pakistan). Deeply engrossed in literature and poetry right from his school days, he avidly listened to Hindustani music, attended concerts by Pt. Ravi Shankar and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.
His family moved to Delhi after Partition, but Sampooran moved to Bombay to pursue his ambition to become a writer. He started working as a mechanic in a garage and wrote poetry in his free time under the pen name (first) Gulzar Deenvi & later on (simply) Gulzar. All this is public knowledge.

Today’s song is from the film Bandish-1955.
The film was directed by Satyen Bose and the music was by Hemant Kumar, with his assistant Ravi Shankar Sharma- or simply Ravi. This was Ravi’s last film as an assistant to Hemant Kumar. He was simultaneously giving music to film Vachan -1955, as an independent Music Director. His career grew successfully but he never forgot the help Hemant Kumar gave to him in his early years of film music. Till Hemant Kumar was connected with Hindi films, Ravi used him for songs in his films, wherever it was suitable. Hemant Kumar’s last Hindi film came in 1979 (Love in Canada) and Ravi lasted till 2000 (Ek alag Mausam).

Geetanjali Pictures of Hemant Kumar had tasted success in the genre of suspense/mystery thriller in ‘Bees Saal Baad’ (1962) and ‘Kohra’ (1964). The banner had also produced ‘Faraar’ (1965), ‘Bibi Aur Makaan’ (1966) and ‘Khamoshi’ (1970) without much success at the box office. After a decade of the box office success of ‘Bees Saal Baad’ (1962), Hemant Kumar tried to repeat the success formula in ‘Bees Saal Pahele’ (1972). He introduced his son, Ritesh Mukherjee (real name: Jayanta Mukherjee, husband of Moushumi Chatterjee) in the lead role.
