Happy birthday to Biswajeet (born December 14, 1936), the ‘chocolate hero’ of the 1960s on completing 87 years of age today. Kolkata born Biswajeet got his first break in a Bengali film, ‘Kangsha’ (1958). By 1962, he did about a dozen Bangla films before he shifted to Mumbai.

Biswajeet commenced his career in Hindi films with a box office hit film, ‘Bees Saal Baad’ (1962), produced by Hemant Kumar. Since then, his Hindi film career has travelled through the genres, first the suspense/thriller, followed by the musical romance and then to social/drama. His made-up girl’s character in the song ‘kajra mohabbat wala in ‘Kismat’ (1968) was a trend setter for Rishi Kapoor (‘Rafoo Chakkar’- 1975), Amitabh Bachchan (‘Laawaaris’-1981), Sanjay Dutt (‘Mera Faisla’-1984), Govinda (‘Aunty No.1’-1998) etc. He also became a trend setter in fashion with his all-white look that included white shoes. Jeetendra and Govinda later seem to have followed him to some extent.

I used to wonder as to how the Kolkata-born Biswajeet could speak his Hindi dialogues more or less fluently. The reason was that his father being an army doctor, he was on frequent transfers to places like Lucknow, Meerut, Lahore, Karachi etc where Biswajeet had spent his childhood.

Biswajeet had a spate of suspense films like ‘Bin Badal Barsaat’ (1963), ‘Kohra’ (1964), ‘Ye Raat Phir Na Aayegi’ (1966), ‘Jaal” (1967) etc which led to getting him branded as a ‘suspense hero’. In order to avoid the tag of the ‘suspense hero’, Biswajit did films in the genre of musical romance, like ‘April Fool’ (1964), ‘Mere Sanam’ (1965), ‘Do Dil’ (1965), ‘Night in London’ (1967), ‘Kismat’ (1968) etc. Biswajit also went on to do social/family drama films like ‘Kaise Kahoon’ (1964), ‘Sagaai’ (1966), ‘Do Kaliyaan’ (1968) ‘Paisa yaa Pyaar’ (1969), ‘Pyaar Ka Sapna’ (1969), ‘Main Sunder Soon’ (1971) etc. Most of his films were box office success. He also did few Bengali films during 1960s and 1970s. At one time, Biswajeet had a good number of films under production, requiring him to shuttle between Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.

Biswajeet turned producer-director with ‘Kahten Hain Mujhko Raja’ (1975) with star-studded cast that included Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Shatrughan Sinha and Rekha, apart from himself. The film flopped at the box office resulting in heavy financial losses. Post 1975, he did about two dozen of Hindi films but most of his films of this period failed to make much impression on the audience. Also, by this time, Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Jeetendra had given him the tough competition for the lead roles under top film production banners. He then switched over to the supporting roles in a few films. During his Hindi film career, he worked in 63 films, his last film being, ‘Aa Dekhen Zara’ (2009) in a guest role. His son, Prosenjit Chatterjee is a supper star of Bangla films.

How would have evolved Biswajeet’s Hindi film career if he had accepted the role of Bhootnath in ‘Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulaam’ (1962) is anybody’s guess. Biswajeet, in an interview, has revealed that Guru Dutt offered him the role when he saw his performance as Bhootnath in the Bangla play, ‘Sahib Biwi Gholam’ at Kolkata. He was called to Mumbai and was introduced to the main cast of the film. His friends, however, dissuaded him from accepting the role as they feared that due to whimsical nature of Guru Dutt, the film may get shelved. Instead, he accepted Hemant Kumar’s offer of ‘Bees Saal Baad’ (1962).

One of the unusual roles Biswajeet played in Hindi film was in ‘Raahgir’ (1969) in which he was a wandering young man in search of the meaning of the life. His performance was critically acclaimed. But the film flopped on the box office front. Another film in which Biswajeet had an unusual role was ‘Do Shikaari’ (1979) in which he played the role of a hunter in the wild African forest. Originally started with the title, ‘Anjaane Safar’ in 1969, the film was held up for nearly a decade reportedly due to the problem with the Censor Board. Finally, the film got the Censor Certificate on March 15, 1978, and was released on December 14, 1979.

‘Do Shikaari’ (1979) was produced and directed by Kuldeep Pal. The star cast included Biswajeet and the newcomer, Rekha in the lead roles with supporting actors, Vinod Khanna, Amjad Khan, Joginder, Keshto Mukherjee, Alka, Padma Khanna etc. The film flopped on the box office front but became famous for the controversy during the shooting in which Rakha was kissed by Biswajeet without her consent. Apparently, the scene got deleted by the censor board. Biswajeet has recently clarified that he did the scene as told by the director and agreed that Rekha’s consent was not taken.

The gist of the story of the film is as under:

The film is about unearthing of a treasure lying in Solomon’s Mines in Africa. Zorro (Amjad Khan) is after that treasure for the last 10 years without any trace of the route to reach. Sunita’s (Rekha) father has the map of reaching the hidden treasure. So, Zorro kidnaps Sunita’s father, and as a ransom, he pressurises Sunita to meet two hunters, Ranjeet (Biswajeet) and Satish (Vinod Khanna) in the African forest in the guise of searching her missing brother. She reaches Africa with the map and meets Ranjeet to help her in searching her missing brother. There is an offer of a huge money in case the brother is located which interests Satish. But Ranjeet refuses to help her by saying that he has more pressing work on hand.

With lot of persuasion, Ranjeet agrees to search for Sunita’s brother. He, Satish and Sunita travel in the dense forest of Africa facing the wild animals, hostile villagers and above all, the treachery by Satish who gets to know the route to reach Solomon’s Mines on a hill. In the meanwhile, Zorro with his men also reaches the African forest to keep a tag on the progress of the search for treasure.

Ranjeet gets hold of a local tribesman who knows the route to the Solomon’s hill. The entire group reaches the cave where they find one man (Mac Mohan) already on the job to search for the lost treasure. Now the secret is out that the search is for the hidden treasurer and not for the missing brother. Ranjeet has no interest on the lost treasure, but Satish gets greedy. He goes with the man (Mac Mohan) and after a long and treacherous walk, he finds the boxes of treasure. They are extremely elated. However, Ranjeet comes and tell them that the tribesman who had shown the route has vanished. Now the problem is how to get out of the cave.

Somehow, Satish finds out the outlet to come out of the cave. While one by one all persons are being taken out of the cave, Satish refuse to help Ranjeet to come out the cave as he wants him to die in the cave so that he gets the entire treasure. After a fierce fight with Satish, Ranjeet comes out of the cave to find that Zorro with his gang has already taken Sunita in their custody to force Ranjeet to take them to the treasure. However, local tribesmen with their weapons surround and overpower Zorro and his men. Zorro is taken into custody by the tribals for the death penalty, and Ranjeet and Sunita become their guests.

The tribal belief that those who tries to take out the hidden treasure never come back alive become once again true in the case of Zorro and Satish.

When the film had commenced shooting in 1969, Biswajeet was one of the top stars in Hindi films and Vinod Khanna was a newcomer having worked only in a couple of films. This was Rekha’s first film. When the film was released in 1979, Biswajit was at the start of his fading phase while Vinod Khanna was rising in status. Rekha had already become a star. Had the film was released on time, it would have become Rakha’s first released film.

‘Do Shikaari’ (1979) had 7 songs written by Jan Nisar Akhtar (3), Rahi Massom Reza (2), Ashk Jallandari (1) and Unknown (1). All the songs were set to music by Chitragupt. One song from the film has been covered in the Blog. I present the second song from the film, ‘ae dil meri jaan teri manzil hai kahaan’ to appear on the Blog, The song is written by Jan Nisar Akhtar and rendered by Biswajit, the only song he rendered for Hindi film. This is the background song when Biswajeet and Rekha travel in the safari jeep on their way to search for the treasure in the African forest.

Despite being a good singer, Biswajit avoided singing for himself in his Hindi films. The reason given by him was that he felt that Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar were much better singers than him. However, when his friend and producer-director Kuldeep Pal insisted on him to sing a background song in this film, he agreed. Incidentally, during the lean phase of his filmy career, especially after 1980s, he started stage shows of his singing all over India. He has also to his credit some non-film song albums.

We observe that two movies (out of seven) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. One movie was YIPPEED on this date ten years ago itself.

That leaves us with five unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today.

“Parinay”(1974) is one of the BTYC eligible movies. This movie was directed by Kantilal Rathod for Samantar Chitra, Bombay. This was an art movie that had Romesh Sharma, Shabana Azmi,Krishnakant,Shivraj,Abhijit Sen, Achala Sachdev, Champshibhai Nagda, Radhikarani,Lakshmi Patel,Bhairavi Mehta, Ashvin Chopra,
Master Nirav Mehta etc in it. Amitabh Bachchan and Mac Mohan were narrators in this movie.

“Parinay”(1974) had three songs in it. The song covered ten years ago was the second and penultimate song of the movie. Here are the details of the two songs covered in the blog so far:-

Blog post number Song Singer/s Posted On
5819 Mitwa mitwa morey man mitwa Manna Dey, Vani Jairam 18 April 2012
8112 Suraj ki garmi se jalte huye tan ko Deenbandhu Sharma, Ramanand Sharma (known as Sharma brothers) 22 May 2013

We notice that “Parinay”(1974) had become a contender for YIPPYdom ten years ago itself, but the third and final song was not available those days. Now, this third song, an elusive song has become available. It came as a pleasant surprise to me when Prakashchandra sent me the lyrics of this song to be used for Blog Ten Year Challenge occasion.

So, here is this third and final song of “Parinay”(1974). This song is sung by Rajendra Mehta. Jaan Nisaar Akhtar is the lyricist. Music is composed by Jaidev.

Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

With this song, all the songs of “Parinay”(1974) get covered in ther blog. The movie thus joins the list of movies that have got YIPPEED in the blog.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Road No. 303’ (1960).

This film was special in many respects. Let’s start with it’s title. Among the total of 3240 Talkie films made in the first 30 years of Hindi films (1931-1960), only 19 Hindi films had titles which actually had numbers in their Titles. The first one to have a numerical figure in its title was Miss 1933 (1933) and the last one to have it was today’s film Road No. 303 (1960). Just for information of our readers, there were 7 such film titles in the 1930’s (total films 924), only 4 such film titles in the 1940’s (total films 1191) and 8 such film titles in the 1950’s (total films 1125). There were hundreds of film titles having figures in words, like ‘Ek Thi Ladki’, ‘Do Gunde’, ‘Teen Batti Char Rasta’ etc. but numbers in titles were a novelty.

Secondly, this was the first Hindi film of the music director C Arjun. He started by giving music to the first Sindhi film after the Independence – ‘Abana’ in 1958. (The first Sindhi film ever in India was ‘Ekta’ (1940), made by Wadia Movietone, directed by Homi Wadia).

Thirdly, this was the first and the only Hindi film in which Mehmood and Shubha Khote were the leading pair. In all other films, they were in the side roles.

‘Road No. 303’ was made by Mahesh Pictures, Bombay and it was directed by Dharam Kumar. He was born on 26-11-1919 and had directed 14 Hindi films. His first film as a director was ‘Jalte Deep’ (1950) and his last film was ‘Truck Driver’ (1970). Dharam Kumar expired on 28-7-1993, in his 75th year. The 6 songs of this film were written by Naksh Lyallpuri (3) and Jaan Nissar Akhtar (3).

‘Road No.303’ is truly an obscure movie as no information is available about it on any internet site. This name too is not known to many. The film was produced by Ratankumar and Bhikhubhai. The story of film is….

Manohar (Maqbool) is murdered and his body is thrown on the Road No. 303 in the dead of the night. Ramesh (Mehmood), his younger brother who loved him much is devastated. Manohar was an honest Police officer.

Ramesh is in love with Sadhana (Shubha Khote), a young and educated daughter of Seth Deen Dayal (KN Singh) . Seth ji is a well known philanthropist rich man, running destitute homes for widows and orphans.

Ramesh starts finding out about the cause of murder and he learns that soon Manohar was to arrest a big person in society for some serious crime. Munna (Bhagwan) , a small-time pickpocket and a friend of Ramesh, also helps him . Sona (Helen) a dancer in ‘Red Lite Cafe’ is also in love with Ramesh and helps him.

Meanwhile there are attempts to kill Ramesh too. Finally, with the help of Sona, Munna, and Sadhana, Ramesh finds out that the murderer is nobody else but Seth Deen Dayal who runs a racket of trading women and children to Arab countries.

Sadhana is very firm and in the end Seth ji is arrested for murder of Manohar and for his illegal work.

The debutante composer C Arjun was one of those composers who never got what he really deserved. In spite of giving music to 22 films, he always remained a “lesser known music Director”. His best known film was ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’ released in the same year (1975) as film ‘Sholay’ of Ramesh Sippy and it did an unprecedented business amongst the mythological films.

His full name was ARJUN PARMANAND CHANDNANI and he was born in Karachi on 1-9-1933. After partition his family settled in Baroda. He inherited his musical talent from his father who was a singer. He became assistant to another Sindhi music director Bulo C Rani. He started his career with composing for a Sindhi film ‘Abana’ (1958) (first Sindhi film in Independent India).

His first Hindi film was ‘Road No. 303’ in 1960. Off and on he got films under nondescript banners with B/C grade cast. That he created memorable music nevertheless did not do much to change his fortunes. His teaming with the lyricist Jaan Nisar Akhtar would rank at par with the best of Sahir Ludhianvi’s composed by SD Burman or Roshan. He also composed a number of non film songs.

He gave music to 22 Hindi films, besides films in Gujarati, Sindhi and Haryanvi languages. Some of his films were, ‘Main Aur Mera Bhai’, ‘Punarmilan’, ‘Ek Saal Pehle’, ‘Jai santoshi Maa’, ‘Raksha Bandhan’, ‘Karwa Chauth’, ‘Aankh Ka Taara’, ‘Lambu In Hong Kong’, ‘Ustad Pedro’, ‘Mangu Dada’, ‘Gunahon Ka Mandir’, ‘Nawab Sahib’, ‘Kanoon Aur Mujrim’, ‘Hamari Kahani’, ‘O Mere Jaane Jigar’ etc. His film ‘Susheela’ (1966), which was incomplete, was completed and releasd as ‘Subah Zaroor Aayegi’ in 1977 in which “Bemurawwat Bewafa Begaana e Dil Aap Hain” song sung by Mubarak Begum and “Gham Ki Andheri Raat Mein” sung by Talat and Rafi became very popular.

I still remember the interview of C Arjun by Ameen Sayani on radio in Binaca Geetmala program, a long time ago about the story behind as to how a popular song was written by Indivar and how it was tuned, for the film ‘Punarmilan’ (1964).

C Arjun said – “One day we (both me and Indivar) were travelling in a BEST bus while returning home in the evening, from the recording studio. Both of us were sitting on the same seat and the bus was packed full with passengers. After 2 or 3 stations Indivar saw that a young and very beautiful girl boarded the bus and she came near our seat standing in the middle amongst other standing passengers. Indivar was repeatedly looking at her time and again. After 4 or 5 minutes, Indivar asked me to leave my seat and offer it to the pretty girl standing besides us.

After a bit of hesitation I agreed and gave my seat to her. To my surprise, Indivar didn’t talk to her even once while she was sitting beside him for about 20 -25 minutes before she de-boarded the bus at one of the stops in our way. When I asked Indivar why he didn’t talk to her?. He replied today he shall de-board the bus with me at my residence bus stop & answer me when we shall reach my home. We de-boarded the bus at my residence. On reaching home Indivar said “My dear Arjun, thank you so much for offering your seat to her and letting her sit beside me and I have imagined and thought of some lines while she was standing and then sitting beside me”. Indivar there and then spoke those lines to me and they were “PAAS BAITHO TABIYAT BAHAL JAYEGI, MAUT BHI AA GAYI HO TO TAL JAYEGI”.

And then Indivar wrote this whole song there and then in about one hour and asked me to compose its tune the same night. We sat together after our dinner and composed its tune before we went to our beds late at night. Indivar stayed with me that night and left for his home next day morning.”

C Arjun died on 30-4-1992, due to a massive heart attack when he was recording a non-filmi Sindhi song in the Sterling Studios, Mumbai.

Sometime back there was a story that C Arjun started his career with acting and that he was the hero in film ‘Malhar’ (1951).

There is irrefutable proof available on Cinegems and Cineplot, that the hero of ‘Malhar’ was none other than Arjun Bakshi, and NOT C Arjun, MD.

Arjun Bakshi who had acted in some other films, including ‘Daku ki Ladki’, and Naujawan etc, was later a screenplay writer in Hindi films. He is the father of the actress Jyoti Bakshi (of ‘Bullet’, with Dev Anand). Jyoti and her father separated later and Jyoti had a very pathetic and sad demise, a few years back.

Few years back one senior member from RMIM group had reported that he had met Arjun Bakshi in a Music shop in Canada in 2003. And as written above, C Arjun had died in 1992. So, once for all it is clear, once again, that C Arjun the composer and Arjun the actor were two different persons. In addition, C Arjun’s nephew – Shyam Chandnani, who is in Dubai appeared in a music related Blog- Songs of Yore and commented that C Arjun had never ever acted in any film or visited Canada, in his lifetime. That was another final confirmation.

This film was only the second film – after ‘O Tera Kya Kehna’ (1959), in which Mehmood and Master Bhagwan came together. Today’s song is filmed on these two comedians. Though this was C Arjun’s first film, he had used Rock and Roll music for his songs. In today’s song he has tried a jugalbandi in Rock n Roll music with Bharat Natyam Music. Two duets were filmed on the lead pair. This song was quite popular in 1960 and many readers might remember it also.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this song was not yet featured on the Blog. Perhaps, it was waiting for me to write on it. Enjoy this duet featuring Rafi and Manna Dey.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2012-2022) – Song No. 32
————————————————————————————–

This date ten years ago (viz 19 March 2012) saw four songs from four different movies getting covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
5656 Mit nahin sakta kabhi likha huaa taqdeer ka Sansaar (1951) 6 songs covered so far out of 14
5657 Nasheeli hawaa hai samaa hai suhaana Commercial Pilot Officer(1963) 3 songs covered so far out of 6
5658 Wo zindagi to thhi ab tak teri panaahon mein Neelkamal(1968) Movie YIPPEED by now
5659 Pukaarti hai muhabbat kareeb aa jaao Daastaan e Laila Majnu(1974) One song covered so far out of 11

One movie out of four, whose songs were covered on 19 march 2012 has since been YIPPEED. The other three movies are eligible for Blog Ten Year challenge today.

“Daastaan e Laila Majnu”(1974) is one of the eligible movies.

“Daastaan e Laila Majnu”(1974) was produced and directed by R L Desai for Chandra Art, Bombay. The movie had Anaamika, Kanwaljit,Dheeraj Kumar(special appearance), Jayshree.T., Satyajeet, K.N.singh, B.M.Vyas, S.N.Tripathi, Dulari, Mohan Sherry etc in it.

The movie had 11 songs in it. One song has been covered so far and that was ten years ago.

So after a gap of exactly ten years, here is the second song from “Daastaan e Laila Majnu”(1974) to appear in the blog.

The song is sung by Suman Kalyanpur. Jaan Nisaar Akhtar is the lyricist. Iqbal Qureshi is the music director.

The song is picturised on Jayshree T, with Anamika and Dhiraj Kumar also visible as royals. Laila Majnu tale is a medieval tale, that is why Jayshree T dance should not be called a cabarat dance, but that dance and also the music sounds and looks every inch a cabarat dance song to me. 🙂 Hindi movies are in any case not known for attentions to details and accuracy of facts.

Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

dil mein hain aen sainkadon toofaan

jab tumko apni laaj nahin
main tumse kehne aayi hoon

hum gareebon kaa tum thhe sahaaraa

dil mein jalte hain kitni chitaayein

apne aansoo kahaan tak chhupaayein
is paap ki maari nagri mein
jeene ka thhikaanaa aaj nahin
kyaa laaj rakhoge duniyaa ki
jab tumko apni laaj nahin
main tumse kehne aayi hoon

jo sitam ham pe hogaa sahenge ae
tumse lekin naa kuchh bhi kahenge
tumse lekin naa kuchh bhi kahenge
tum apne munh se ye keh do
ab jag mein tumhaaraa raaj nahin
main tumse kehne aayi hoon

Blog Day :

Hullo Atuldom

The song with this post was suitable for 19th August. 19th was the remembrance day of Khayyam the music composer who began his journey in Bollywood in 1947, when he sang a song with Zohrabai Ambalewali. His first as a music director was in 1948 as ‘Sharmaji’ of the ‘Sharmaji-Varmaji’ composer Duo. The statistics page of the blog says that Khayyam saab has given music to 377 songs in 42 movies. That may seem too little when compared with music directors who were active during that period; but each song of his were ‘pure pleasure on the ears’. Songs like ‘shaam-e-gham ki kasam’ (1953) or ‘tum apna ranj-o-gham’ (1964) are still popular as also the hits from the ’70s and ’80s: ‘aa jaa re, aa jaa re o mere dilbar aa jaa’, ‘kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai’, ‘dikhayi diye yun ke bekhud kiya’, and many more that I grew up listening to, of course at that age only the songs used to play in my head, I never knew details about singer, composer, lyricist etc.

The song with this post is also one such song, one that was only heard and details of which I gathered at the time of writing this post. I had heard it in the ’80s at the time “Noorie” released. Possibly not as often as the other popular songs from “Noorie” viz. Aa jaa re and Chori chori koi aaye.

“Noorie” (1979) was a movie directed by Manmohan Krishna (the popular character actor of those times) under Yash Chopra’s production. It had a cast of lesser known actors (at that time) like Poonam Dhillon, Farooque Sheikh, Bharat Kapoor, Iftikhar, Madan Puri, Gita Siddharth, Padma Khanna etc. The movie was a simple love story with the lovers being separated due to the death of the girl and in the final scene the lovers are united when they are buried beside each other. In the interim Bharat Kapoor (who plays a negative character) upturns the love cart of the lovers by killing the girl’s father, sending the boy away on a made-up-errand, raping the girl etc., which has the girl committing suicide. The boy returns, learns the cause of his beloved’s death and in his bid to avenge it, is killed. Here I shall add that the bad-man or villain also doesn’t escape punishment as the girl’s pet dog eventually kills him.

The playback singers used in that movie were Pamela Chopra, Jagjit Kaur, Asha Bhonsle, Anwar, Lata Mangeshkar, Nitin Mukesh and Mahendra Kapoor and S. K. Mahan (the character actor who used to be mostly seen in Yash Chopra movies. He is the one in the orange jacket at the beginning of this song). Of the 6 songs three (one song has two-versions)were written by Jan Nisar Akhtar, 2 by Naqsh Lyallpuri, and one by Majrooh Sultanpuri. Today’s song is written by Jan Nisar Akhtar whose remembrance day also happened to be 19th August.

Jan Nisar Akhtar has penned some memorable songs in a career spanning about 30 years but he was essentially a writer of poems, ghazals and nazms. He was awarded the 1976 Sahitya Academy award for his work ‘Khaak-e-dil’ a collection of poetry. His legacy is being carried forward by his son Jaaved Akhtar and grandchildren Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar.

The song is in the voices of Pamela Chopra, Mahendra Kapoor, S K Mahan and Jagjit Kaur who died a few days back on 15th August. I am not attempting an tribute to the (recently) departed singer of such wonderful songs as ‘dekh lo aaj hum ko jee bhar ke’; ‘kaahe ko biyaahi bides’; ‘saada chidiyaan da champa ve’ etc. Jagjit Kaur’s end came a few days before her husband Khayyam saab’s anniversary. Must be a measure of the love between the musical couple.

Remembrance Day of N Datta on 30.12.2020
———————————————————
————————————–
Geeta Dutt – Solos and duets (01)
————————————–
This is a tribute post for Datta Naik, also known as N Datta, on his 33 death anniversary. It looks as if, N Datta formed a successful team with Sahir Ludhianvi as most of his popular songs are with Sahir in the period 1957-1959. He has composed a sizeable 349 songs in 54 films, out of which 221 are already in the blog.

A few weeks aga I inadvertently ended up with a short list of Geeta Dutt’s song links, which included different genre of songs, duets, solos and female duets. They are mostly so sweet and pleasing songs. Sometimes melancholy, but still sweet.

So here is the first song in the series, combined with the remembrance day tribute post of N. Datta. It is a Mohammed Rafi- Geeta Dutt duet from the 1960 film “Rickshawala”. The lyricist here is Jan Nisar Akhtar. The song actually is a sales pitch song. The sale of the humble fruit called “Chikoo”. It is called “Sapota” too. Both singers along with chorus are enthusiastically promoting it, even offering it for free, in exchange of a heart. The celebrity names are also freely taken for encouraging people to buy the fruit. So it is a fruit vendors song, who say that :

‘chehre ka ye husn badhaaye,
Nargis khaaye,
Nimmi khaaye,
khaaye madhubala”

‘ Chikoo’ is supposed to be rich in iron, so may be, it is useful in increasing ‘chehre ka husn’. I had early experience of buying ‘chikoo’ in, believe it or not Mumbai local trains. The price was unbelievable, 5-6 chickoos for Rs. 2/- only. Those were the cheap 80’s.

Only two songs from this film are posted so far :

Song Date of posting
Neeli saadi sunahra jumper 14 February 2012
Jawaani mein to ik dil ki 18 December 2018

Title of the film is ‘Rickshawala’, but there is no riksha or tonga song here. There are these marathi words repeated in the song ‘aga saku, ghe chikoo’. It means ‘O saku, buy chikoo’. ‘Saku’ may be a slang or a nickname of sort, where girls are called ‘saku’ in a teasing way.

I could find only the audio link for the song, but it is filmed on Johnny Walker and Anita Guha. Another film with only Mohammed Rafi male singer, with Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle and Geeta Dutt.
