In a recent article, I had discussed some Hindi film songs which were ‘inspired’ from foreign language songs/music. In this article, I will take up some Hindi film songs and music which have become ‘inspirations’ for some foreign language songs. Incidentally, in Western musical parlance, it is called ‘sample’ songs/music in which a part of the original song/music tune is sampled in their songs.

In the last few days, I have gone through many foreign songs as well as small clips of a few English films on the video sharing platforms in which Hindi films songs/music have been sampled in music videos as well as in films in the background. A few samples of Hindi film songs/music used in foreign music/film albums is discussed in the following paragraphs.

Mukesh and his Composers – 39

Coming to the next part of this series, I take up a solo song by Mukesh from the film Parmatma released in 1978. It was directed by Chand and had Shatrughan Sinha, Rekha, Pradeep Kumar, Aruna Irani, Ranjeet, Dev Kumar, Jagdish Raj, Chand Usmani, Helen and others in the cast. The music was by K. Babuji and lyrics by Indeevar.

Again, not much information is available on the music director K. Babuji. It appears Mukesh has sung only one song for him.

Mukesh and his Composers – 35

Who was the first woman music director in Indian films?

Well, to the unversed but having some intertest in HFM, Usha Khanna’s name would crop up in the mind. To the more learned ones, Saraswati Devi would be the answer. To experts, it would be Jaddanbai, the mother of legendary actress Nargis.

However, the credit goes to Ishrat Sultana aka Bibbo, who was the composer of Adl-e-Jahangir released in 1934. Jaddan Bai’s score for Talash-e-Haq was a year later in 1935.

(Birthday – Music Composer-Rajesh Roshan)

Today 24th May 2025 is the seventieth birthday of music director-lyricist Rajesh Roshan(born on 24.05.1955). His music composed for Hindi movies is part of growing years of people like me who were born in late sixties or early seventies. Many of his compositions have been pure nostalgia for me and same might be the case for many people like me. Rajesh Roshan has carved a niche for himself in the history of Hindi Film Music. There is a long list of his compositions that I like very much, and as and when possible I have also shared such songs on this blog.

#Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1975-1)
——————————————————–

The song in this post is from the movie ‘Dafaa 302-1975’. This movie is so far missing from the blog and today we are adding it to the tally of the movies on the blog.

Regulars on the blog would be aware that as this decade 2021-2030 began, we began to celebrate completion of Fifty Years of the decade 1971-1980. So every year of this decade we take up the missing movies of the year that was there fifty years back. We are in 2025 nowadays so we are covering missing films of 1975 these days.The year 1975 was a memorable year for the Hindi film industry and is remembered for some milestone movies of Hindi cinema like ‘Sholay’, ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’, ‘Deewaar’ etc. Movies like ‘Geet Gaataa Chal’, ‘Julie’, ‘Mausam’, ‘Chhotisi Baat’, ‘Rafoo Chakkar’, ‘Sanyaasi’, and ‘Pratigyaa’ were the other top successful movies of that year.

‘Parmaatmaa’ (1978) seems to be a forgotten film now. I do not remember to have heard the name of the film during my younger days. The film was produced by Kuljeet Pal under the banner of Parashakti Pictures and was directed by Chand. The star cast included Shatrughan Sinha and Rekha in the lead roles with Pradeep Kumar, Aruna Irani, Imtiaz Khan, Ranjeet, Dev Kumar, Jagdish Raj, Chand Usmani, Helen and Komilla Work in the supporting roles. Probably, this was Shatrughan Sinha’s first film in a lead role and that too the first time he paired with Rekha in a lead role. It appears that the film took a long time to get a theatrical release as I find that song album on LP was issued in 1976 and the film was released in November 1978.

(Rajesh Khanna’s 82nd Birth Anniversary)
—————————————————-

Today 29th December 2024 is the eighty-second birth anniversary of Rajesh Khanna (29.12.2024-18.07.2012). On this occasion, we have paid our tributes to him by presenting a few songs picturised on him. In this post I am presenting one more song picturised on him.

This song is from the movie ‘Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar’. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 21.01.1984. In the year ‘1984’there were three movies released based on the same theme that dealt with our socio-political scenario and prevalent corruption and corrupt practices among governing institutions in the country. These were the movies Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar’, ‘Inquilaab’ and ‘Yeh Desh’. However, if one notices, while the movie ‘Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar’ was categorized as a movie from ‘social genre’ the other two movies viz. ‘Inquilaab’ and ‘Yeh Desh’ were categorized as ‘patriotic’ or ‘deshbhaktee pradhaan’ movies. Among these three movies, only ‘Inquilaab’ was said to be a successful movie. The movie ‘Aaj Kaa M.L.A. Raam Avtaar’ was praised by critics but it was said to be a commercial failure.

Today 22nd December’2024 is the 6001st day for the blog. So it is another important day since it is the ‘starting point’ of a ‘new beginning’ again. At one of my previous employer my senior always uses to say that the first day of every month is the most suitable day to start anything new. Here the context was of implementing new things, new procedures, new SOPs at workplace. In our day to day routine also when a calendar month ends and a new month begins we generally are excited and it does give a ‘new feeling’ and motivates to take a ‘fresh guard’. I remember in my childhood days when the song from ‘Pehli Taareekh’ used to play on radio, listening to it was very joyful, and even now whenever this song is played on ‘Vividh Bhartee’ on first day of a month it gives me the same excitement and feeling.

While going through the filmography of the music director, Vanraj Bhatia recently, I found that he had done the music composition mostly for the off-beat or ‘middle of the road’ films, including those of Shyam Benegal’s films. Among his Bollywood masala films which are few, ‘Surkhiyaan’ (1985) was one of them which came as surprise to me because a couple of songs from the film which I had heard long back, sounded to me like that of R D Burman. The title of the film gave the hint that the story may have something to do with print media. With Naseeruddin Shah as a lead actor, I thought that the script of the film would be good for him to agree to work in the film. I watched the film a couple of days back on this assumption.

(Kishore Kumar’s 38th ‘Remembrance Day’ 13th October’2024)

Today on 13th October 2024 we are paying our tributes to one of the versatile genius of Hindi Film Industry Kishore Kumar. He passed away on 13th October 1987 at the age of fifty-eight only. He was born on 4th August 1929 at Khandwa and which he was very proud of, and he often happen to mention himself as ‘Kishore Kumar Khandwewala’ in almost all of his stage programs while starting singing there.
