Tum ko paaya hai to jaise khoya hoon
Kehna chaahoon tum se bhi to kya kahoon
Kisi zabaan mein bhi wo lafz hi nahin
Ke jin mein tum ho kya tumhen bataa sakoon
Main agar kahoon tum saa haseen
Kaayenaat mein nahin hai kaheen
Ta’areef yeh bhi to sach hai kuchh bhi nahin
How can an emotion, an achievement, a lacking, a statement, a praise, an expression of being lost, are to be expressed in a few lines? This mukhda of the song in “Om Shanti Om” is a perfect example. It says quite plainly that there are not words to be found in any language to describe you, i.e. the heroine. It is not just her beauty, the hero wants to praise. It is the essence of the person, that he is unable to describe.
In the stanza, her attributes are detailed as shokhiyon, adaayen, zulf, aanchal, roop ki chaandni etc. also dilkashi. But these words are just not enough to say what the hero wants to say. I have seen this film, but cant recall the whole story. Will have to see this once more to refresh the memory.

Today, February 13, 2026, is the 97th birth anniversary of Lekh Tandon, one of the versatile yet underrated Hindi filmmakers. Like Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Lekh Tandon made decent films with commercial appeal. He experienced many ups and downs in his filmy career of about five decades. Yet he never gave up the career until his death.
Lekh Raj Tandon (13/02/1929 – 17/10/2017) was born in Lahore. His father, Faqueer Chand Tandon was the classmate of Prithviraj Kapoor. His elder brother, Yograj Tandon was Urdu playwright and worked as a secretary to Prithviraj Kapoor. Lekh Tandon’s father wanted him to compete for Civil Engineering entrance examination of VJTI in Bombay (Mumbai). Sometime in summer vacation, Lekh Tandon visited Bombay and stayed with Prithviraj Kapoor. During his stay, he used to go with Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor for watching the film shoots. He instantly liked the medium of film and decided that he wanted to become the film director.

After that qawwali like fusion wedding song from “Bombay”, I remembered a few filmy qawwalis from the 21st century. Several of them are composed by ARR, so there is a possibility of at least one more qawwali in that series. There is another one from the 90’s which should follow in the next few days.
After the top one “Na to karwaan ki talaash hai” many people consider “parda hai parda hai” to be second most liked and famous qawwali in Rafi Sahab’s songs. I am sceptical about this rating. I have personally always liked “pal do pal ka saathh hamaara” and “Hai agar dushman” better than the hugely popular “Parda hai parda hai”. This qawwali is performed in most of the shows of Rafi Sahab songs. That is fine, as someone remarked, that it is a more engaging one and singers enjoy performing it. That makes it a favourite for the singers too. So, it has somethings going for it. I just wish that the singers try other equally appealing and engaging qawwalis too. All of them are trying to touch the benchmark, in playback singing left by Rafi Sahab. Some say that the textbook is written, and ink dried, and they just need to open the pages and try and absorb.

I have a list of ‘Yaad” songs to post. This being a classic “yaad” song, with the oft repeated line “Teri Yaad Saathh hai”. This song is unforgettable in many aspects. Over the years, I have wanted to post this one. Whenever Raahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice is heard, this is the song I remember every time. So consistent is the association.
After visiting UK and London in 2021, I looked up this song but could not find the link with such visuals which are here in the full audio version. Video clip is small with the song playing in the background, when Rishi Kapoor visits India and taking his wife and daughter Katrina Kaif around and they visit all the important places of worship, mostly in north India and the trip ends with the Taj Mahal visit. In the full audio version, the whole films scenes and story is related in partly present and flashback. I have seen the film 2-3 times. It makes a good watch, light romance and decent songs.

YouTube is an American social media and online video sharing platform owned by Google. It is an amazing tool that helps us in our blogging expedition. Based on our previous search history, it keeps suggesting links to videos.
That means, for followers of ATULSONGADAY, YouTube will keep suggesting videos of Hindi Fillum Sangeet. The suggestions may also be based on any particular actor, movie or artist, specially if we have looked up for songs of the concerned artist.
So, as I was browsing through YouTube yesterday, I came across a song which had Sunny Deol trying to shake a leg in tandem with Sridevi for a song that was playbacked (I am sure there is no such word in the English dictionary) by Suresh Wadkar and Asha Bhosle. It had Meenakshi Seshadri & Anil Kapoor, standing among the people who were watching the proceedings. On looking up for details, on our blog of course, I found that it has found its place on the blog in 2022 with this post by Avinashji.

Hullo Atuldom
Many celebrities, whom fans of Indian films have been following, have their landmark birthdays this year. Example, Aamir, Shahrukh & Salman all become 60 this year. Some singers turn 40, 50, 60 & 70.
Hariharan Anantha Subramani (born 3 April 1955) is an Indian playback, bhajan and ghazal singer who predominantly sings in Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi, Kannada and Telugu languages. He has also sung a number of notable songs in 10+ languages including Marathi, Sinhala, Maithili, Bhojpuri, Odia, Bengali, Sanskrit, Gujarati and English. He is an established ghazal singer and one of the pioneers of Indian fusion music. We all know him as HARIHARAN. And today he turn 70. Unbelievable, isn’t it?
