Today’s song is from the social film ‘Dhobi Doctor’ (1954).
The film was made by Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. It was directed by Phani Mujumdar (husband of actress Monica Desai, the younger sister of actress Leela Desai), and the music was by Khayyam. This was his 4th film (3rd independent film) after he took the name Khayyam. Earlier he was using the pseudonym of Sharma ji. He gave music independently as Sharma ji in two films = ‘Parda’ and ‘Parivartan’ (in 1949) and working as part of the team Verma ji-Sharma ji, for 1 film – ‘Heer Ranjha’ in 1948.
[Editor Note : The full name of Verma ji of this duo is Rehman Verma. He worked as MD in Bombay till 1947, and then migrated to Pakistan when partition happened. As per Geet Kosh his name appears only in one film, ‘Heer Ranjha’ of 1948, as part of the duo Verma ji-Sharma Ji.]

WISHING ALL READERS A WONDERFUL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026, FULL OF JOY, SUCCESS, PEACE, HOPE, ENERGY AND GOOD HEALTH.
As discussed in the last post, the compilation of Mukesh-Asha Bhosale duets has started. But it may take some time as it not only involves preparing a long table of 50+ rows, but also to ensure that no songs are left out and the list is complete. As this is work in progress, I thought I would squeeze in a couple of more posts in the meanwhile instead of taking a long hiatus.
Also, I would like to make the Asha Bhosale post memorable for a special occasion. For that we will cross the bridge when we reach it.

Films with the title “Hum Ek Hai” were released in different years.
Suffice to say Hum Ek Hain, lekin same title anek hai.
Well, this post of mine had tried to sort out the confusion arising out of this same title released in different years and with different cast and composers. I had elaborated on the standalone patriotic song produced by Govt of India’s Films Division which also had the same title.

‘Mehndi’ (1983) was produced by Dinesh Kumar and was directed by Asit Sen. The cast included Vinod Mehra, Ranjeeta, Raj Babbar, Tamanna, Raj Bothara, Madan Puri, Usha Kiran, Seema Deo, Meena T, Mohan Choti, Birbal etc. Bindiya Goswami and Sh akti Kapoor made their special appearances in the film. This was Asit Sen’s last Hindi film as a director.
There are confusion galore about two Asit Sen’s works in Hindi films on the internet. Suffice to say here that Asit Sen, the director of the film under discussion did not act in any Hindi film. He directed his first Hindi film ‘Mamta’ (1966) while Asit Sen, the comedian/character actor has also directed only two Hindi films, ‘Parivaar’ (1956) and ‘Apraadh Kaun’ (1957). Hence, there is a clear demarcation of their work as director in terms of the timeframe. Unfortunately, Asit Sen, the director is hardly remembered today who had directed some Hindi classic films such as ‘Mamta’ (1966), ‘Anokhi Raat’ (1968), ‘Khaamoshi’ (1969), ‘Safar’ (1970), ‘Annadaata’ (1972) and some Bengali films. Even if he is remembered, he is often mistaken with Asit Sen, the comedian. For example, an article in ‘The Hindu’ which appeared on April 02, 2010, under ‘Blast From The Past’, calls Asit Sen, the director of ‘Mamta’ (1966) as ‘a disciple of Bimal Roy’. Surely the writer has confused with Asit Sen, the comedian who had worked with Bimal Roy as his assistant director for his films of 1950s.

‘Dil Aakhir Dil Hai’ (1982) was produced by M S Gulati and was directed by Esmayeel Shroff. The cast included Rakhee, Nasiruddin Shah, Parveen Babi, Jalal Agha, Rehman, A K Hangal, Deena Pathak, Dinesh Hingoo, Ramesh Tiwari, Murad, Leela Mishra etc.
In an interview with The Times of India, which was published on October 27, 2022, Nasiruddin Shah has revealed that he was cast in the film only because Rishi Kapoor had backed out from the film. Film’s director, Esmayeel Shroff propped him up by saying that he can do any type of roles. But as the film progressed, he and the director realised that he was a misfit in the film. Probably, this was one of the reasons that film failed at the box office.
