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.

In the context of Hindi film music, we have often heard the word ‘plagiarism’ for copying tunes, melodies, orchestrations and even the lyrics. The plagiarism in Hindi film music has become more pronounced from 1980s onwards during which some of the new generation of Hindi film music directors faced the allegations of plagiarism in their compositions of many songs. It came into open when two songs of the same tune, ‘thamma thamma loge’ in ‘Thanedaar’ (1990) and second, ‘jumma chhumma de do’ in ‘Hum’ (1991) were released within a short gap which were said to be inspired from ‘tama tama’ by Mory Kante (1988). Some of the music directors have dismissed the allegation of plagiarism by saying that such song compositions have not been copied but have been ‘inspired’ from original sources.

Today’s song is yet another song from the year 1975. This is from the movie ‘Uljhan-1975’. I had never watched this movie till recently, when I watched it on a video sharing platform. This movie is a nice movie to watch, and all the actors/actresses have performed their roles well. This film keeps one engaged till the end even though we already know who-killed-who in the very beginning of the movie. This movie ranked at number thirteenth (13th) among the top Hindi movies of 1975 at the box office.

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # Bajrangbali-1976#
————————————————

Today 12th April 2025, which is the tithee Chaitra Poornima, Hanuman Jayanti is being celebrated all over. On this occasion here is song from the movie ‘Bajrangbali-1976’. It is one of those movies which I watched during my childhood days. I have vague recollections of watching it with my younger brothers and cousins. I had earlier presented two songs from this movie on the blog. Out of these two songs one song ‘hey manwaa re’ is the song which is pure nostalgia for me and it has been permanently embedded on my impressionable mind since my childhood days.

Manoj Kumar (24.07.1937 – 04.04.2025) is synonymous with Bharat Kumar, yes! but he was much more. He was involved in multiple branches of film making – acting, production, direction, editing, writing (story, dialogues, lyrics). He has given many memorable films in various capacities. And very rightly he was honored with awards, and accolades time to time in his life journey. He was conferred with the highest award for films i.e. the ‘Dadasaheb Phalke Award’ in in ‘2015’. Earlier he had won the National Award for his movie Úpkaar’ in 1967, which was awarded as the second-best feature film of that year. He won the Filmfare awards in different categories viz as Best Actor for the film ‘Be-imaan-1972’, Best Director Award for the movies “Upkaar-1967″’and ‘Roti Kapadaa Aur Makaan-1974’, Producer award (with others) for “Upkaar-1967” and the award for Best Story and Dialogues for “Upkaar-1967”. He won the award for Best Editing for the movie ‘Shor’ and finally the Filmfare ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ for films in ‘1999’. No other film personality has won four awards for a single movie. What is more interesting is that he was also nominated for the ‘Best Actor’ award for the same movie i.e. “Upkaar-1967”.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –13
————————————————

My last post on Mukesh and his Actors – 04 featured Feroz Khan wherein, in the penultimate para of the post, I made a mention of taking up yet another popular actor for whom Mukesh gave playback. When I prepared the list, I was pleasantly surprised to find more than one song of the actor’s association with Mukesh is yet to be covered and hold your breath… including the last song that Mukesh sang before he left the country for a concert in August 1976 and never returned.

———————————————

What is Mukesh’s hit ratio, one may ask. Well, read on.

Continuing with the series on Mukesh’s playback for various actors, we take up the case of flamboyant actor, Feroz Khan in this post.
