# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1973-Hifaazat-23)
——————————————-—————————
Today we pay our tributes to one of the greatest music directors of Hindi Cinema i.e. Rahul Dev Burman. He was born on this day i.e. 27th June, 1939 and passed away on 04th Jaunary, 1994. Had he been alive today he would have turned eighty four years old. But he left us at the age of fifty-five only. In his last days he suffered on both health ground and mentally he was upset for treatment given to him in those troubled days by the industry and peoples around him.
Today I am presenting a song from a lesser known movie where the music was composed by RD Burman. This movie is ‘Hifaazat’ from 1973. This movie is making its debut on the blog today.
When I came across this movie title in HFGK and noted that this is yet to be represented on the blog I was surprised. Since the music of this movie was composed by none other than RD Burman. It was a fact that I could not digest because one, I would never expect a film where the music was composed by RD Burman and that two, from the seventies, could be still missing from the blog. Those were the years when RD Burman was ruling the charts. But then there have been such instances for example films like ‘Jeewan Mukt’ (1977), ‘Nafrat’ (1973) etc. where the songs didn’t get popular but were later termed as ‘good songs’ and even ‘classics’ in some cases. I have given these examples that happened in my case, where I was not aware of the songs of this movie and got to know about them after coming into contact with this blog over the years since 2012. Earlier I was under the impression that I am aware of all the songs composed by RD Burman but that was not the case and I got to listen many of his songs in these years after 2012 when I become associated with this blog.
Same is the case with today’s movie ‘Hifaazat’ of 1973. I do not remember haivng heard the songs associated with this movie title of 1973 earlier (of course, I remember the later ‘Hifaazat’ of 1987’). For today’s post we will consider the movies of 1973 for which RD Burman had composed the music.
Here is the list.
| Sl. No. | Movie Title | Director | Lyricist | Status on Blog |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aa Gale Lag Jaa | Manmohan Desai | Sahir Ludhianvi | Yippeeee’ed |
| 2 | Anaamikaa | R. Jhalani | Majrooh Sultanpuri | Yippeeee’ed |
| 3 | Badaa Kabutar | Deven Verma | Yogesh | Represented |
| 4 | Bandhe Haath | O.P. Goyale | Majrooh Sultanpuri | Yippeeee’ed |

| 12 | Joshilaa | Yash Chopra | Sahir Ludhianvi | Yippeeee’ed |

| 14 | Nafrat | Shyam Ralhan | Majrooh Sultanpuri | Represented |
| 15 | Namak Haraam | Hrishikesh Mukherjee | Anand Bakshi | Yippeeee’ed |
| 16 | Paanch Dushman | Vimal Rawal | Majrooh Sultanpuri | Represented |

| 19 | Shareef Badmaash | Raj Khosla | Anand Bakshi | Yippeeee’ed |
| 20 | Yaadon Ki Baaraat | Nasir Hussain | Majrooh Sultanpuri | Yippeeee’ed |
From the above table we can see that RD Burman composed music in as many as twenty movies that were released in 1973. Out of these 20 films 19 have been represented on the blog and only one i.e. ‘Hifaazat’ is yet to be represented in the blog. That missing movie is making its debut today.
If we go through the annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala’ of the year 1973, songs from the films ‘Anaamikaa’ (title song at nos. 4 & 36), ‘Do Chor’ (1972) (at nos. 8 & 19), ‘Raaja Raani’ (at nos. 10 & 21), ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’ (1972) (at no. 11), ‘Mere Jeewan Saathi’ (at no. 13), ‘Do Phool’ (at no. 15), ‘Parichay’ (1972) (at no. 25), ‘Rampur Kaa Laxman’ (1972) (at no. 28), ‘Jheel Ke Us Paar’ (at no. 24) and ‘Shehzaadaa’ (1972) (at no. 37) figured in the list. So in all thirteen songs composed by RD Burman figured in this list. Interestingly, his father Sachin Dev Burman had fourteen of his songs featured in the list of 1973. In addition, a few songs of Pancham figured in the ‘shadow’ list too. The topper that year was “Yaari Hai Imaan Mera ” from ‘Zanjeer’ (1973), followed by ‘Bobby’ (1973) and ‘Victoria No. 203’ (1973) on 2 and 3 numbers respectively.
Today’s movie ‘Hifaazat’ was directed by KSR Dass (or Doss) for Balakrishna Movies. It was produced by RV Venkateswarulu and B Susheela Devi. It had Vinod Mehra, Asha Sachdev, Narendranath, Kumud Chhugani, Coca Cola, Sikandar and Kanhaiyalal. They were supported by Anand, Prem Kumar, Raghavan, Mamta, Baby Indira, Bhima Raju, Balbir Singh, Prakash and Jyothilakshmi. Ashok Kumar, Madan Puri, Ranjeet and Iftekhar had a friendly appearance in this movie. Lalita Pawar was the guest artiste in this movie.
Editing of the film was done by KSR Das, Kandaswamy, and Sivam was the associate editor. Dialogues of this movie were written by Prem Kapur. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 30.05.1973.
This movie has four songs which were written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and music was composed by RD Burman. Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle are the playback singer for the songs in this movie.
The director of this movie KSR Dass (Konda Subbarama Das) was born on 05.01.1936 in Venkatagiri, Nellore. He directed many films in South Indian languages mainly in Telugu and Kannada language and also around sixteen Hindi movies. He had also done editing and story, screenplay writing for many movies. His directorial debut was in the movie ‘Loguttu Perumallakeruka’ (1966) (in Telugu) with Sobhan Babu, Gitanjali, Gummadi, & others. As a director his association with the Telugu superstar actor Krishna was highly successful and they worked together in around thirty movies. Their association started with the movie ‘Takkari Donga Chakkani Chukka’ (1969). KSR also worked with legends like NT Rama Rao, Rajinikanth, Vishnuvardhan and Chiranjeevi. ‘Mosagallaku Mosagadu’ (1971) (Telugu) with actor Krishna, ‘Yugandhar’ (1979) (Telugu) with NTR, ‘Annadammula Savaal’ (1978) (Telugu) with Krishna and Rajinikanth, and ‘Billa Ranga’ (1982) (in Telugu & Kannada) with Chiranjeevi and Mohan Babu are some of the iconic movies that KSR directed. B Vithhalacharya was the co-director in ‘Mosagallaku Mosagadu’.
KSR directed over 100 films with many of them becoming the block-busters on the box office. ‘Nagulamma’ (2000) was the last movie he directed. He was awarded the ‘Puttana Kanagal Award’ for his contributions to Kannada cinema by the Karnataka State Government in 2008-2009. (This award is given in the memory of the most influential Kannada film maker Shubraveshti Ramaswamiah Seetharama Sharma popularly known as SR Puttana Kanagal.) This highly revered director passed away on 08th June, 2012 at the age of 76.
I am giving below the list of Hindi movies directed by KSR Das (or Dass or Doss as mentioned at many places).

Note: Some of the above movies could be dubbed movies. I have marked them as such wherever I have this information).
[Source of information about KSR Das is ‘Veethi’, ‘Wikipedia’, Geet Kosh, Myswar, Telugu Cineblitz etc.]
Coming to today’s movie ‘Hifaazat’, Geet Kosh mentions this movie as a movie from ‘social genre’. Following is the brief about this movie as summarized by me after watching this movie on YouTube.
Kishore (Vinod Mehra) and Asha (Asha Sachdev) love each other and want to marry. Their fathers Kapur, likes to be called Camphor (Kanhaiyalal) and Judge Ram Prasad (Ashok Kumar) respectively are friends. However, Kishore’s father is initially reluctant and does not agree for this marriage but later on surrenders to what his son wants. So he gives his nod for the marriage. But, at the same time the family priest of Kishore’s father discloses that Asha is not the real daughter of Judge Ram Prasad and she is an adopted one. Also Asha’s family is suffering from some curse where Asha is only the surviving member and others are no more. Asha gets to listen to this conversation and judge Ram Prasad has to tell her truth about her real father (role played by Iftekhar).
Knowing this, Kishore’s father now cancels the marriage of Kishore and Asha. Judge Ram Prasad tries to convince Camphor but he is adamant. Kishore is present upstairs and secretly listening what his father has said to the judge.
Kishore and Asha decide to go to Asha’s parental house ‘Sona Mansion’, which is in Kashipur village and which is known to be a haunted place. On the way they meet a Saw Mill owner (Madan Puri), and Sewak Singh (Narendranath). No body helps Kishore with the address of ‘Sona Mansion’ but Sewak helps him. Sewak is actually ‘eyeing’ Asha. Sewak’s mother (Lalita Pawar) wants her son to do some good work and make an honest living. But he wants to get rich quick and for that he forces his mother to transfer the family property in his name.
Kishore and Asha reach ‘Sona mansion’ and stay there to find the secret in the haveli. Meanwhile Sewak tries to molest Asha and later on tries to rape her. Lajjo (Kumud Chhugani) loves Sewak but Sewak doesn’t like her now. Lajjo knows about Sewak’s intentions and she informs Kishore when Sewak and his friends corner Asha in the Jungle. Sewak’s mother keeps visiting the haveli and Kishore notices that on one such visit. Lajjo is murdered but her body disappears.
Finally the goons are set right by Kishore and by the time he reaches the haveli Sewak is killed. But who killed him ?
Asha is saved by Kishore but somebody attacks Kishore and is trying to finish him. Who is that person ?
At the same time Sewak’s mother also reaches the haveli and finds her son’s body there. She knows who has killed her son. Who is that person?
How Kishore and Asha get to know the truth and what is the curse over Asha’s parents ? All that is what this movie is all about.
Why the movie was titled as ‘Hifaazat’ and what was ‘being protected’ can be found out by watching this movie which is available on YouTube.
An interesting watch, but you will have to tolerate the ‘hinglish’ of Camphor (Kanhaiyalal) till the first half of this movie like … ‘hum tumko nahin bataaying ant mein kya hoyiing in thi film’. 🙂
We have four songs in this movie. The first two are roothhna manaana songs first by the heroine and second by the hero for each other. Third song is a ‘gypsy’ song which is by the khaanabadosh in their camp on the jungle route of the haveli where Kishore and Asha had to halt in the night. The fourth song is a ‘joie de vivre’ song when Asha sets out of the haveli as Kishore is out for some shopping and Asha takes this opportunity to roam freely in the haseen waadiyaan. This fourth song is also a good song from this movie, but for today I have chosen the first song in this movie that is ‘appeasing the lover’ type song sung by Asha Bhosle and in the movie performed by Asha Sachdev for Vinod Mehra. Lyrics are by Majrooh Sultanpuri and music is composed by RD Burman.
Let us enjoy the song and welcome ‘Hifaazat’ of 1973 on the blog.
