Tribute to Mohammad Rafi on 43rd death anniversary

We come to that day again, when the death anniversary of Rafi Sahab becomes the subject of talk, discussion, posts in the blog, awe-inspiring for learners and a deep-thinking day for die-hard fans like me.  As I grow older, the word ‘fan’ in this context sounds basic and amateur. Not that it is anything great for me to be a ‘fan’ per se, because I am but a speck on this mortal earth, whereas Rafi Sahab’s voice and songs have attained immortality.

We are 6 months away from the beginning of centenary year of Rafi Sahab.  There was only one Mohammed Rafi, he had no sibling, nobody could follow closely in his shadow, to constantly compete with.  No one to keep him on his toes, always threatening to overtake. No one could make him feel insecure, for he was a pious Khuda ka banda who had faith as a guiding light.  In his career of 35 years, he was able to take snubs or insults in his stride, with a smile, as he did the adulation and respect showered on him.   For the faith tells him that all izzat and zillat is from Almighty Allah. No one else has any ability to give anything to anybody, but Him.

In this materialistic era, it is very difficult to keep this sort of faith and belief, which gives total peace to the soul.  Rafi Sahab had that peaceful demeanor, which he always wore in his smile.

I remember a quote from a friend.  She said that Rafi Sahab has the aura or presence that emanates peace.  She said this when we were talking about him one day years ago.  It is only now I am trying to understand what she meant by that.  Rafi Sahab was not a threat to anybody, nor could he feel threatened by anybody.   He expected nothing as his due from people and he was forever grateful for whatever barakah he received.   And he pointed to the sky and said – “sab uparwale ki den hai”.   These 5 words uttered in so low a voice that it will not register, if the listener was not concentrating, intent on absorbing every word.

Lata Mangeshkar has said in interviews about him that – “bahut shaleen svabhaav ke the, un ko gussa kabhi nahi aata thha”.  There are many artists and others who worked with him and knew him, have said similar things.

Now let’s move to some research and analysis on the phenomena called Rafi Sahab.

A few days ago, this post appeared in the blog “Tore Kurte Se Tohra Tan Jhalke“. Mahesh ji has raised some questions in the post vis-à-vis Mukesh-Naushad, Rafi-Naushad and Mukesh-Lata-Naushad. While reading the post, my first thought was, hey. . . Naushad had Mukesh sing for Rajendra Kumar in ‘Saathi’.  Then came the next thought – maybe it was almost two decades later after Andaaz.  The table giving the list of songs confirmed it.

Naushad (1940-2004) 540 64 movies (593)

As can be seen above, Naushad’s score is 593 songs in 64 movies in a career spanning more than 60 years.  It averages to more than 9 songs per movie.  Even at the top of his career, he was doing 2-3 films per year in 50’s which trickled down to 1-2 in 60’s. In the 40’s too he was less prolific.  19, 10 and 9 songs of GM Durrani, Shyam Kumar and Surendra respectively, were almost all in the 40’s.  GM Durrani had one song in ‘Deedar’.  By this time not just Mukesh, but all the others were out of the picture for Naushad, including the great Saigal. Similarly, Naushad had pretty much replaced everyone else (including Shamshad Begum) with Lata Mangeshkar by early 50’s.   What could be the reason for Rafi ending up with only 159 songs for Naushad, despite being his only choice as male singer, throughout 50’s and 60’s?  The explanation for this is that the era of 40’s and 50’s the films had more female songs than male ones.  Then who is most prolific singer for Naushad?  The answer is Lata Mangeshkar with highest number of songs with 200-250 songs, or more at a guess.

Then Mahesh ji answered his own question in the comments with this statement 🙂 – “I think Naushad would have avoided Mukesh in any case as in Rafi he found an irreplaceable singer apt for his compositions and the discipline and manners that he expected.”

And Naushad is not in isolation, as far as his preference for Rafi Sahab is concerned, as his sole male singer.  There are scores of composers including Madan Mohan, Ravi, Chitragupt, C Ramchandra, Roshan, Hansraj Behl, Husnlal Bhagatram, OPN, Laxmikant Pyarelal, Shankar Jaikishan, SD Burman and RD Burman, among others.   All of them ended up with movies which had only Rafi as the male playback singer.  People say SDB was partial to Kishore Kumar, but I say he was partial to Rafi, and in many movies, he had Rafi sing for Dev Anand. Dev Anand’s friendship with Kishore Kumar is well known, but SDB was getting full scores by Rafi on Dev Anand, even when Kishore Kumar was giving playback only to Dev Anand.  The celebrated ‘Guide’ is only one part of it.

The superstar Rajesh Khanna was never known to be partial to Kishore Kumar at least he did not put pressure on Laxmikant Pyarelal to have only Kishore Kumar as his playback singer.  He was the superstar, he could have dictated anything, but he did not. In this way Rajesh Khanna favoured Rafi Sahab, when the maestro’s career was at a low point.

Another point raised by Mahesh ji is about the duets that were not composed by Naushad with Mukesh and Lata Mangeshkar.  Only such duet is in ‘Sunehra Sansaar’ 1975. But Naushad was not known for composing many duets, though I see 4 duets with Shamshad in ‘Mela’ (1948).  But otherwise, Naushad composed few duets of even Rafi-Lata. One can try to put Mukesh’s voice in any of the Rafi solos and duets composed by Naushad, with the help of AI and see the results. Purely as a matter of interest and study, not to make any point here.

Through 1950’s Naushad’s compositions were based on Hindustani classical, for which Rafi’s classical training was a plus point.  Or rather, because he had Rafi Sahab to deliver them, Naushad could compose such classics.

As I said above, there were music directors, who stuck to Rafi, there being other talented and specialist genre singers available, because in him and with him they found freedom to create songs, without fear or worry of whether the song  would turn out well, or the singer will be able to perform the song as imagined. Their creativity demanded that they make the most of Rafi Sahab’s versatile gifted abilities. Then there were those, whose egos got the better of them and they denied this fact and avoided Rafi Sahab, only to go into exile or to be sidelined by their close ones in the film music circles. These very same people came full circle decades later to get Rafi sahab to sing for them. There was Khaiyyam, whose debut movie had superlative Rafi solos, who could not /or would not continue with him.  It was Rafi Sahab who requested Khaiyyam to record those non-film songs.

There are a few talented persons even today, who are singing his songs all over the world and making vlogs about those songs, and they refrain from taking Rafi Sahab’s name, when discussing and explaining those songs and their murkiyan and they teach technique to make it easy for the new learners to grasp the nuances.  So be it, who are we to begrudge them their choices and their ways of earning a livelihood.

For this anniversary post, I am presenting a simple rendition of Anand Bakshi’s poetry, composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal for the film ‘Mera Dost’ (1969).   The lyrics are meaningful, and they remind me of my own poem/ghazal which I wrote last year.   I gave it the title “Ibrat” which means “a lesson well learned and remembered” in my own dictionary.  It is one of those words whose meaning Google cannot fully understand.

Ibrat

main kuchh chahti hoon likhna ibaadat ki tarah se
ke khwaahish nahin hai iqbal, saahir wa faiz ki tarah se

gar kuchh na kahun to kya kahun aye Khudaa
jo teer sa nikle par ta’abeer ho khwaab ki tarah se

ishq paida huaa to aashiq chala bazaar tak
ke gair ko le jaaunga gairat ki tarah se

gawaahi deti hai taareekh zindaan ki deewaron par
tu sun to zara is ko ibrat ki tarah se

aankhen hon kabootar ki aur labon ko si le
jo tujhe nakaam shohrat lage izzat ki tarah se

dost tujhe jo chahiye chheen le mujh se
par wa’ada hai adaa tu hi karega qeemat ki tarah se

 This is just amateurish poetry and I feel too embarrassed to show them to a Ustad. It is my creativity and its 100% amateur, but original. The millennials are taking to free style poetry like a storm.  So, I am also joining their throngs 🙂 .

Back to Rafi Sahab and the song.  A song made special by the mere rendering of it by Rafi Sahab.  Note how every word is infused with meaning and how many variations the word  ‘Ae’ is given, in stanza’s and in repetition of mukhda.   No wonder, the musicians are still missing him, 43 years after he left this faani duniya.  His brand of integrity and humility is rare and in short supply forever.

un safīnoñ kī tabāhī meñ hai ibrat kā sabaq
jo kināre tak pahuñch kar nazr-e-tūfāñ ho gaye

(Mahfuzur Rahman Adil)

 
(Editor’s note: With this song, Anand Bakshi, silently and unnoticeably completes 1200 songs in the blog as a lyricist.)

Song – Ae Dost Kisi Roz Tu Pachhtaayega (Mera Dost) (1969) Singer – Mohammed Rafi, Lyrics – Anand Bakshi, MD – Laxmikant Pyaarelal

Lyrics

ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega
ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega
jo aag se khelega wo jal jaaega
ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega
ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega

mat bhool badi bhool kiye jaata hai
mat bhool badi bhool kiye jaata hai
jo dard tu auron ko diye jaata hai
wo dard tere dil ko bhi tadpaaega
ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega
ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega

daulat ka nasha hosh udaa deta hai
daulat ka nasha hosh udaa deta hai
insaan ko deewana banaa deta hai
yeh jam utthaaya to behak jaaega
ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega
ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega
jo aag se khelega wo jal jaaega
ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega

royega tu tadpega pareshan hoga aa
royega tu tadpega pareshan hoga aa
aur apne kiye pe tu pashemaan hoga
par haath gaya waqt nahi aaega
ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega
ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega

dekha na wahi baat hui saudaayi
dekha na wahi baat hui saudaayi
yeh paap ki daulat tere kis kaam aayi
tu apni khataaon ki sazaa paaega
ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega
ae dost kisi roz tu pachhtaaega

ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा
ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा
जो आग से खेलेगा वो जल जायेगा
ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा
ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा

मत भूल बड़ी भूल किए जाता है
मत भूल बड़ी भूल किए जाता है
जो दर्द तू औरों को दिए जाता है
वो दर्द तेरे दिल को भी तड़पायेगा
ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा
ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा

दौलत का नशा होश उड़ा देता है
दौलत का नशा होश उड़ा देता है
इन्सान को दिवाना बना देता है
ये जाम उठाया तो बहक जाएगा
ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा
ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा
जो आग से खेलेगा वो जल जायेगा
ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा

रोएगा तू तड़पेगा परेशान होगा
रोएगा तू तड़पेगा परेशान होगा
और अपने किए पे तू पशेमां होगा
पर हाथ गया वक़्त नहीं आएगा
ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा
ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा

देखा ना वही बात हुई सौदाई
देखा ना वही बात हुई सौदाई
ये पाप की दौलत तेरे किस काम आई
तू अपनी खताओं की सज़ा पाएगा
ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा
ए दोस्त किसी रोज़ तू पछ्ताएगा

Hullo Atuldom

There is this gorgeous lady who made her debut into the Hindi film industry in a title role; the movie released on 28th September 1973. That film was commercially successful, went on to win five awards in that year’s Filmfare Awards. It helped the film’s producer- director come out of debts which he had incurred with his previous magnum-opus debacle. The content of this film was the typical Romeo-Juliet kind of romance, presented in a new style; but the commercial success was attributed to the two-fresh-faced-delightful youngsters who emoted on-screen with ease. Small wonder that they won that year’s Best Actor & Best Actress Filmfare awards.

Sudhirji has written this, in a post to a song of this film, about how the girl is presented on-screen for the first time:-

a girl in a white frock with grey dots and a red piping – standing next to the entrance, near the golden statue of a maiden carrying a pot of water, quenching the thirst of many kinds; and the strains of music that play on that first sighting – “Jeena Yahaan Marna Yahaan, Is Ke Siwa Jaana Kahaan”. As always, the master of melodramatic presentation, RK chose this oh so appropriate music to play when this simple young girl made her first presence on the screen, and into the hearts of million young men – yes – Is Ke Siwa Jaana Kahaan. …

This image of the girl is what made many youngsters go weak in the knees back-then, almost like the effect her husband had on a whole lot of young girls of the early 1970s. Am I right, Sudhir ji?

The husband was Rajesh Khanna.

Oh yes, the girl – Dimple Kapadia, was all of 14 or 15 when she began shooting for her debut film- ‘Bobby’. By the time the shoot wrapped up she was already married to The Phenomenon Rajesh Khanna, breaking the hearts of many young girls & guys in the process. She simply turned her back on the industry, quit acting, mothered two beautiful daughters before making a comeback to films. She may have had her personal reasons to separate from Rajesh Khanna, that is not our lookout here. Her fans just welcomed her back with open arms and then there has been no stopping this versatile actress who has been seen in a variety of roles, many of which were author backed. She has won the Filmfare awards a few times, in various categories. She was also awarded the Best Actress National award for ‘Rudaali’ (1993). She is still active & her films can be seen on various OTT platforms – the last one ‘Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo’ released on Disney/ Hotstar on 5th May 2023.

Yesterday, 8th June was her birthday- Here is wishing her all health and happiness (albeit belated)

For this occasion, I have chosen a song from the 1991 released ‘Ranbhoomi’ which was directed by Deepak Sareen & produced by Vijay Sinha. It was one of those regular, masaaledaar films, which had Shatrughan Sinha, Jeetendra, Rishi Kapoor, Neelam, Raza Murad, Shekhar Suman, Amita Nangia, Gulshan Grover, Parijat (never heard of her), Yunus Parvez, etc as Dimple’s co-actors. I must confess that I haven’t seen the whole film, only some parts, but I have seen a dance of Dimple’s as a kothewaali. That is the song we are going to see today. It is sung by Anuradha Paudwal written by Asad Bhopali, & Laxmi-Pyaare are the music directors.

I landed on this film in my quest to pay tribute to the lyricist Asad Bhopali, whose death anniversary it is today. ‘Ranbhoomi’ released almost a year after the passing of the lyricist. The song was for us to feast our eyes on the beautiful Dimple Kapadia

Asad Bhopali was born Asadullah Khan in Bhopal on July 10th, 1921 to Munshi Ahmad Khan. He was learned in Persian, Arabic, Urdu and English. AT 28 he moved to Mumbai to become a songwriter. That was the period of lyricists and songwriters of repute like DN Madhok, Prem Dhawan, Rajinder Krishan, Khumar Barabankavi, Jaan Nisar Akhtar etc. and Asad Bhopali managed to create an identity for himself.

Asad Bhopali has given songs which have been popular and can be heard on the radio & music systems regularly. Songs like “Wo Jab Yaad Aaye, Bahut Yaad Aaye“, “Kismat Bigadi Duniya Badli“, “Sau Baar Janam Lenge“, and the fun song in the late 1970s “Ram Dulaari Maike Gayi”. Today’s generation or those in their 30s currently will remember the songs of ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ (1989) which was among his last movies. Radio Ceylon, in its morning program today, played some of his popular songs.

Thanking Asad Bhopali for today’s song and numerous others that he wrote for movies since his debut in 1949.
PS-It has been pointed out by Prakashchandra that Asad Bhopali has penned a few songs of this movie, but the song under discussion is penned by Santosh Anand.

I first met him on screen in 1971. The film was ‘Mere Apne’, a story of a destitute old lady fallen on to hard times, intersecting with gang wars between young street smarts. I had heard his name before. In 1968, when Sunil Dutt launched his younger brother Som Dutt via his home production ‘Man Ka Meet’, one also read in the news that another new face was being introduced – name Vinod Khanna.

Remembering Vinod Khanna on his birth anniversary today. He would have been celebrating his 76th year on this planet. He passed away five years ago, on 27th April, after losing a battle with the dreaded cancer.

As the decade of 1960s came to a close, the latter half introduced a few handsome young men to the the Hindi screen, that would go on to make big name for themselves over next few decades – Rishi Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna, Jeetendra, Amitabh Bachchan – and yes, Vinod Khanna.

I was verily impressed by his screen presence in ‘Mere Apne’. An attractive physique, a stoic and solemn demeanor that is not easily ruffled, a determined and earnest quietness, an un-agitated dialogue delivery that conveys a commanding confidence. His screen presence felt good and comfortable.

As the decade would progress, there would be more impressive performances that added to his stature as an accomplished actor in Hindi cinema. Starting with the villain’s role in ‘Man Ka Meet’, he went on to doing side roles or shared leads in films like ‘Purab Aur Paschim’, ‘Mastaana’, ‘Aan Milo Sajna’ and ‘Sachcha Jhootha’ (all 1970) and ‘Reshma Aur Shera’ (1971), he moved into the lead role with the film ‘Hum, Tum Aur Who’ (1971) opposite Bharati. That year also witnessed two more of his great perfromances – ‘Mere Apne’ by Gulzar and ‘Mera Gaon Mera Desh’ by Raj Khosla. In the former he share the lead with Shatrughan Sinha, and in the latter with an established Dharmendra. And he stood his ground well in both these outings.

In 1972, we see him as the best friend of the hero in Gulzar’s ‘Parichay’. All this while, his presence in films is growing rapidly. In 1973 he plays the role of an army officer inadvertently caught in an illicit love triangle in ‘Achanak’, a film by Gulzar and KA Abbas. This role earned him a lot of critical acclaim.

In 1974, another very impressive performance in ‘Imtihan’ and also in ‘Haath Ki Safai’. For the latter performance, he got the Filmfare’s Best Supporting Actor award for the year. From 1976 I remember his roles in ‘Shaque’ and ‘Hera Pheri’. Moving on to bigger and better in 1977, we see him in ‘Parvarish’, the outstanding cops and robbers story ‘Inkaar’ and the blockbuster hit ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’.

1978 turned out to be yet another big year for him with films like ‘Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki’ and ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’. 1979 saw him play the role of Rana ji in Gulzar’s ‘Meera’. And in 1980 he made it big with films like ‘Qurbani’ and ‘The Burning Train’. From 1981 I remember him in ‘Kudrat’, a film by Chetan Anand.

Although Vinod Khanna went on to a brilliant career, the above listed films are the ones that are in my mind as mine, my selection – I have watched them on the big screen.

In 1982, Vinod took a break in his career, to be with Acharya Rajneesh, his spiritual Guru. That break ended in 1986, as he returned to India, after Acharya Rajneesh was made to leave the US by the authorities. Coming back, Vinod rejoined the industry and continued with his career. We see him active in the industry all the way up to 2015. Later, the medical issues overtook his life and he passed away in 2017. His last role was in a film released posthumously in 2020 – ‘Guns Of Banaras’.

The song I present today is from the 1974 film ‘The Cheat’ aka ‘Farebi’. The film is from Jaimini Dewan Productions. (Readers will recall that Jaimini Dewan was the elder brother of actor Karan Dewan). It is directed by Sudesh Issar. The cast of the film is listed as Vinod Khanna, Maushumi Chatterjee, Nirupa Rai, Anwar Hussain, Fariyal, Ranjeet, Randhir, Uma Dutt, Jankidas, Dubey, Naidu, Nishan Singh, Haroon Khan, Madhu Chauhan, Shah Agha, Soni, Ratan Gaurang, Jawahar Chopra, Sunil Sharma, Sat Prakash, and Bindu.

The film has six songs, all have been penned by Verma Malik. Music is composed by Laxmikant Pyaarelal. The singing voice is that of Kishore Kumar. With this song, the film ‘The Cheat’ makes its debut on our blog.

The lyrics of this song have been provided by dear Prakash ji.

Hullo Atuldom

A very Happy Navaratri to all. The date corresponds to the first day after Amavasya in the month of Ashwin of the sixth month (as per the Solar Bengali calendar) and seventh month (as per the Indian National lunar calendar of the Deccan Plateau) overlapping the months of September and October of the Gregorian calendar. It is the Sharath Navaratri. The period when we worship the Mother Goddess in the form of Durga Lakshmi and Saraswati. Additionally, this is also the time when we have Ram Leela celebrations across the country.

That is why I have chosen a song featuring Ram Leela. We can see Dev Anand, Janakidas, Premnath, Paintal, on stage enacting the Lanka dahan part of the Ramayan. It begins with Seeta maiyya crying under a tree in Ashok Vatika and  Hanuman seeing her from atop a tree. Sita maiyya (who is the actress?) sees Hanuman when he falls from the tree (I don’t know if all Ram Leelas have such comic elements. Remember there was a similar comic Ram Leela in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s ‘Naram Garam’). Ravan’s son Meghnad is played by Sharat Saxena. Did anyone recognize the Kumbhkaran? It is the actor who has a Guinness book entry for playing a police inspector maximum number of times. Yes, Jagdish Raj. Then we have two Hema Malini in the audience.

I could only recognize Manna Dey’s voice as the male playback, there is one more male singer. The female voice belongs to Anuradha Paudwal. The song is written by Anand Bakshi and Laxmikant Pyaarelal are the music directors. Also we can hear Dev Anand’s voice in all the dialogues in between.  All-in-all an entertaining song from the 1976 released Chetan Anand directed ‘Jaaneman’.

The storyline of the film had Dev Anand playing a taxi driver and Hema Malini in the double role of sisters -Santo & Banto. Plus there were Premnath, Ajit, Paintal, Janakidas Sharat Saxena Jagdish Raaj etc. in the cast.

I have read somewhere that it was a movie in the 25th year of Navketan Films. The movie has 6 songs and the blog has 4 of them (one is a three part song).  The last song from this movie was posted in 2016. Today’s song is sort of in the same category as the iconic song from ‘Munim ji’ (1955) – “O Shivji Bihaane Chale Paalki Sajaaye Ke

Born on 26 September, 1923, today is also the 99th birth anniversary of Dev Anand. With this song, we remember him and celebrate his birth anniversary.blog

Editor’s note:-This song is the 200th song picturised on Dev Anand in the blog.

Rajesh Khanna – The Phenomenon – 10
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Welcome all to this post which again is coming after a ‘long gap’ in this series. Well, I hope to conclude this series too at the earliest possible 🙂 .

In this tenth episode of ‘Rajesh Khanna – the Phenomenon’ we look at Rajesh Khanna movies in the year 1983. This was the year of Rajesh Khanna. He was back on the top with a bang. I don’t know if I should say this that he was reinstated as the ‘King of Bollywood’ once again.

The successes of the movies ‘Avtaar’, ‘Sautan’, and to an extent of the movie ‘Agar Tum Naa Hote’ brought Kaka back into the limelight again. Another movie ‘Nishaan’ starring Kaka which was also released during this year 1983 also performed well at the box-office. Though he had delivered some versatile performances and kept doing different roles during the period 1975 to 1978 he was still far away from that level of success which he had tasted before.

He finally got a big boost in 1983 after his continued good performances, critically acclaimed performances and some commercially hit performances in the previous years i.e. from 1979 to 1982. Hit movies like ‘Amardeep’ (1979), ’Thodisi Bewafaai’ (1980); critically acclaimed movies like ‘Red Rose’ (1980), ‘Phir Wohi Raat’ (1980); successful movies like ‘Bandish’ in 1980; and then multi-starrer hits like ‘Qudrat’ in 1981, and ‘Raajput’, ‘Ashaanti’, and ‘Dharam Kaanta’ in 1982 had finally paid off. With two back-to-back hits – ‘Avtaar’ and ‘Sautan’, where Kaka was the main lead and a semi-hit like ‘Agar Tum Naa Hote’, brought a new life to Kaka’s filmi career or his ‘second innings’ as it is generally said.

In the year 1983 the following five movies of Rajesh Khanna were released. Although the movie ‘Baabu’ was passed by Censor Board in 1983, I remember it was released in theaters in 1985. Knowledgeable readers can throw more light on this.

Sl. No. Movie Title Director Censor Date
01 Agar Tum Na Hote Lekh Tandon 27.10.1983
02 Avtaar Mohan Kumar 27.01.1983
03 Baabu^ A.C. Trilokchander 01.11.1983
04 Nishaan Surendra Mohan 06.01.1983
05 Sautan Sawan Kumar 24.05.1983

Today I present a song from the movie ‘Avtaar’. And since this year 1983 was a special year for Kaka, I would like to present more posts covering songs from this year. Let us see how it works.

‘Avtaar’ made its debut on the blog on 27.08.2012 with this song “Ho Ooperwaale Tera Jawaab Nahin” and I would like to quote below what Atul ji had written about this movie of Rajesh Khanna.

“Avtaar” (1983) was a movie of Rajesh Khanna during the second innings of his acting career when he was no longer a superstar. The movies in which Rajesh Khanna acted during this phase won critical acclaim though even if Rajesh Khanna came nowhere close to regaining his lost crown.

 

‘Avtaar’ was produced and directed by Mohan Kumar for his home productions Emkay Enterprises. It had Rajesh Khanna, Shabana Azmi, Sachin, AK Hangal, Sujit Kumar, Rajni Sharma, Madhu Malini, Yunus Parvez, Shashi Puri, Gulshan Grover, Pichoo Kapoor, Ranjan Grewal, Preeti Sapru and others. Madan Puri had a guest appearance in this movie.

Story of this movie was written by Mohan Kumar and Mushtaq Jalili. Screenplay of this movies was written by Mohan Kumar and dialogues were written by Mushtaq Jalili. Editing of this movie was done by Pratap Bhatt. It was passed by Censor Board on 27.01.1983. HFGK Vol-VI (1981-1985) mentions in the foot note of this movie page that this film was re-certified with English sub-titles by Censor Board on 06.05.1983.

The movie has five songs (including one two-part song) penned by Anand Bakshi and composed to music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. So far two songs from this movie have been posted on the blog. This is the third song from this movie to be posted on the blog.

Today’s song is sung by Suresh Wadkar, Alka Yagnik, and Mahendra Kapoor. This song is picturized on Shashi Puri-Preeti Sapru, Gulshan Grover-Rajni Sharma. Both couples are lip syncing the voices of Suresh Wadkar and Alka Yagnik. Mahendra Kapoor’s voice is used for background score where we can see Rajesh Khanna working hard in his own garage and preparing himself for a greater challenge.

In the movie this song happens when Rajesh Khanna and Shabana Azmi have left their home as their sons have betrayed them. Sachin (Sewak) accompanies them and arranges a temporary shelter for them. Not only this, after listening the conversation between his master and bibi ji he understands what his master needs. He then donates his blood and from the money for the blood, he buys aujaar (tools) for his master so that he can start his own garage. Rajesh Khanna has an uphill task from here to turn the fortunes while his sons are enjoying with their friends. That is where this song takes place, and we have some meaningful lyrics to listen.

That was all around forty years back now.

And if we go back fifty years i.e. to the year 1973 we have the following movies of Rajesh Khanna released in that year.

*Note: – Songs for films ‘Aakraant’, ‘Bachche Mere Saathi’, ‘Bharat Darshan’ and ‘Fighter Sheela’ seems to be unavailable as of now).

‘Gaon Hamaara Shehar Tumhaara’ is directed by Naresh Kumar for Dimple Films, Bombay. He is also the producer of this movie. This movie was presented by Rajendra Kumar. The star cast includes Rajendra Kumar, Rekha, Sujit Kumar, Lalita Pawar, Satyadeep, Shamsher, Aarti, Ajit Sachdev, Sundar, Bhagwan, Kamaldeep, Kanhaiyyalal and others.

Dialogues of this movie are written by Rajinder Krishan. And editing of this movie is done by Govind Dalwadi. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 16.10.1972.

‘Gaaon Hamaaraa Shehar Tumhaaraa’ had four songs written by Rajinder Krishan and composed to music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Lata Mangeshkar, Mohd Rafi and Asha Bhonsle had given their voices to the songs in this movie. The list of songs in this movie is as given below (as provided in HFGK).

S No Song Title Singer/s
01 Nayi hawaa mein udne dekho ban ka mor chalaa Mohd Rafi
02 Ik pyaar karnewaale ne ik pyaar karnewaale se ye poochha Mohd Rafi
03 Kaise kahoon kis’se kahoon sharm ki hai baat Asha Bhonsle
04 Jaana hai jaana hai door kahin jaana hai Lata Mangeshkar

Today’s song is the first song in the movie, and it is played while the titles roll on. It is sung by Mohd Rafi, and on-screen Rajendra Kumar is lip-syncing the song. Rajendra Kumar is shown carrying his luggage and singing the song and telling the ‘gaaonwaalaas that he is going to ‘shehar’ now.

Some other artists, (whom I am unable to identify) can also be seen in the picturisation of this song which shows Rajendra Kumar’s journey from ‘village’ to ‘city’ and the city is none other than Bombay (current day Mumbai).

I have not watched this movie so can’t say much about it. I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on the movie and its songs.

Let us now listen to the today’s song

With the today’s song the movie ‘Gaon Hamaara Shehar Tumhaara’ makes its debut on the blog.

Song – Nai Hawa Mein Udne Dekho Ban Ka Mor Chala (Gaaon Hamaara Shehar Tumhaara) (1972) Singer – Mohammed Rafi, Lyrics – Rajinder Krishan, MD – Laxmikant Pyaarelal

Lyrics

nayi hawa mein udne dekho ban ka mor chala
apna gaon sambhaalo
main to shehar ki ore chala
apna gaon sambhaalo
main to shehar ki ore chala

nayi hawa mein udne dekho ban ka mor chala
apna gaaon sambhaalo
main to shehar ki ore chala
apna gaon sambhaalo o
main to shehar ki ore chala

sunte hain shehar mein jab jab
saawan bhaadon aata hai
sunte hain shehar mein jab jab
saawan bhaadon aata hai
paani ki boondon ke badle
harey note barsaataa hai
bhar letein hai jholi
jiska jitna zor chala
apna gaaon sambhaalo
main to shehar ki ore chala
apna gaon sambhaalo
main to shehar ki ore chala

ye bhi suna hai raat wahaan ki
din ko sharmaati hai
ye bhi suna hai raat wahaan ki
din ko sharmaati hai
deewaaron ko haath lagaao
to batti jal jaati hai
apne ghar to diya kabhi naa
saari raat jala
apna gaaon sambhaalo
main to shehar ki ore chala
apna gaaon sambhaalo
main to shehar ki ore chala

ye dharti aakaash wahaan bhi
hoga yaa naa hoga aa
ye dharti aakaash wahaan bhi
hoga yaa naa hoga aa
dekha jaayega kismat mein
jo bhi likha hoga
nikal pade jab ghar se
kyun naa karega raam bhala aa
apna gaon sambhaalo
main to shehar ki ore chala
apna gaon sambhaalo o
main to shehar ki ore chala
aon Hamaara

Blog Day :

Today’s song is from the ‘1970’ movie ‘Darpan’.

I came across this song very recently on ‘Vividh Bharti’. I liked this song on the very first instance when I listened to it. And as usual thereafter I checked it on the blog. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not yet covered on the blog, because that gives me this opportunity to present this song on the blog. Though I am bit late in sending this to our editors.
I want it to send for 8th July in remembrance of actor Jagdeep (29th March’1939 – 08th’2020) who is performing with Soniya Sahni in this entertaining duet song.

Actor Jagdeep passed away last year in 2020 and yesterday 8th July’ 2021 was his first remembrance anniversary.

Syed Ishtiaq Ahmed Jaafrey better known to us as Jagdeep was born on 29th March’1939 in Datia of the then Central Provinces (of British India) and nowadays Madhya Pradesh.

He started his career as a child artist in the Hindi Film Industry and went to become an established comedian in the movies. He acted in more than four hundred movies.

As a child artist some of his well-known movies are ‘Afsaanaa’, ‘Dhobi Doctor’,’Do Bigha Zameen’, ‘Ab Dilli Door Nahin’, and ‘Ham Panchhi Ek Daal Ke’ etc.

Before he established himself as a ‘comedian’ he has played many good roles in his career as an adult artist in movies like ‘Bhabhi-1957’, ‘Punar Milan-1964’, ‘Noor Mahal-1964’, ‘Lootera Aur Jaadugar-1968’ etc. He played a comic role in the ‘1968’ movie ‘Brahmachari’ and went on to do mainly the comic roles thereafter.

And with his famous ‘Soorma Bhopali’ act in the 1975 movie ‘Sholay’ he became an household name and with ‘Sholay’ creating history in HFM, Jagdeep’s ‘Soorma Bhopali’ also become a part of that history.

His last appearance was in the ‘2017’ movie ‘Masti Nahin Sasti’. (As per information available on him in ‘Wikipedia’).

I think the today’s movie was one of those movies where he played a comedian. I am guessing because I have not watched this movie. I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs.

‘Darpan-1970’ was directed by A. Subbarao for ‘Balan Movies Combines, Bombay’. It had Sunil Dutt, Waheeda Rehman, Rehman, Soniya Sahni, Jagdeep, Sulochana, Lalita Pawar, Achala Sachdev, Seema, Baby Guddi, Sandhya Rani, Shammi, Arun Rai, Sadhna Khote, Saleema, Ramesh Deo, Mukri, Sundar, Bawan Lal, Prem Kumar, Ramchandra Rao and others.

This movie had seven songs in it, all written by Anand Bakshi. Music for this movie was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

Hullo Atuldom

“Parvarish” (1977) was one of the four movies that was directed by Manmohan Desai in 1977. It was produced by A A Nadiadwala. It had a small starcast headed by Shammi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, Shabana Azmi, Indrani Mukherjee, Dev Kumar, Tom Alter, Yusuf Khan (Zebisco of Amar Akbar Anthony which also released in 1977) plus some of Manmohan Desai’s favourite actors of that year viz. Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Kadar Khan and Amjad Khan. Kadar Khan also was in-charge of the dialogues.

The movie’s songs were written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed by Laxmi Pyare. Mohd Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Amit Kumar, Shailendra Singh and Lata- Asha- Usha were the playback singers used for the six songs of the movie, five of which are there on the blog as under.

Ye oonche mahal suhaane sab janta ka hai 29 November 2019 shortest post for a song from this movie

High time we took this movie, which first appeared on the blog in 2009, to “Yyiippeeee” station. And July 8th is a good date to do so as it is the 63rd birthday of the sweet-cute-charming-elegant-beautiful Neetu Singh a.k.a Baby Sonia of the gorgeous smile. She was born in Delhi in a Sikh family with the birth name Harneet Kaur. She began as a child actor in the late ’60s as baby Sonia with movies like ‘Suraj’, ‘Dus Lakh’, ‘Do Dooni Chaar’ etc. was seen as an adolescent in ‘Pavitra Paapi’ ‘Ghar Ghar Ki Kahani’ etc before turning to adult roles with ‘Rickshawala’ ‘Yaadon Ki Baraat’ etc in 1973.

She had a good successful career of nearly 10-12 years as an adult before she bade goodbye to stardom to raise a family. We all know she is Bahu of the Kapoor-Khandaan, Mrs. Rishi Kapoor, mother of actor Ranbir Kapoor, etc.. But she is also Neetu Singh (Kapoor to the present generation of moviegoers) and we are all her fans. Here is wishing her good health and cheer. Happy Birthday Baby Sonia.

Today’s song is a stage song where Amjad Khan is the chief guest and Neetu and Shabo (Desai didn’t break his head in naming his heroines) are the qawwali artists on the stage and use the situation to ‘take shots’ at Amjad Khan (ex. daku Mangal Singh) who was the cause of the death of their parents (Ram Sethi and Chand Usmani in blink and miss appearances). If I remember correctly, this was the song just before the climax of the movie. The song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Usha Mangeshkar.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # 130 # Aayegi zaroor chithhi mere naam ki #
——————————————-—-

Today’s song is from the ‘1974’ movie ‘Dulhan’. ‘Dulhan-1974’ is one of those movies which had made its debut in the initial months of this blog, on 02.11.2008 with its song ‘jaane chaman jaane bahaar’. But since then, this movie is waiting to see its second song on the blog. Today after ‘twelve years, five months, and three days (or 4537 days), we are going to listen to the second song from this movie.

I remember the today’s song was frequently heard on radio and loud-speakers in those days i.e., my childhood days 😊. And maybe then I was not aware which movie it was from. But I vaguely remember that I never liked this song then and in fact it was irritating for me whenever it was played on radio or around. However, I think that this song must be the most popular song from this movie. And I was thus surprised to note that this has not been posted on the blog until now.

The other song I am familiar from this movie is ‘Govinda aa Gopaalaa aa, mere rote nainaa poochhen’ which was also frequently played then. And in comparison, to the above two songs, the song jaane chaman jaane bahaar from ‘Dulhan-1974’ is a song I am less familiar with.

‘Dulhan-1974’ was directed by C.V. Rajendran for ‘Sujata International, Madras’. It had Ashok Kumar, Jeetendra, Hema Malini, Jamuna, Mehmood (in special appearance), Nazir Hussain, David, Agha, Paintal, Manorama, Mukesh, Vijay Kumar, Prem Kumar, Raghav, Bhagwan, Baby Doll, Leela, Munni, Asha, Shammi and others.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 19.10.1974.

This movie had five sound tracks including its ‘title-music’ as mentioned in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980). HFGK also mentions that one song from this movie i.e., ‘main teri dulhan tu dulha piyaa’ is given in two-parts on the LP record of this movie.

Anand Bakshi was the lyricist for this movie who had written all the songs for this movie. Music for this movie was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

As per HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) this movie ‘Dulhan-1974’ had the following songs;

I have not watched this movie, so I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs.

Let us listen to the today’s song now.

This song is lip synced on screen by Hema Malini while Jeetendra is also present there.
In the second part the mukhda of this song plays in the background and Ashok Kumar, Hema Malini, Nazir Hussain and many others are also seen in the picturization.

[Ed Note: Delayed by 3 days on our account, this post was received in email just past midnight on 17th March. It should have posted on 18th. The reference to the dates in the article should be taken from 17th March.]

Hullo Atuldom

18th March 2012 was the first time I sent a contribution to Atulji in the form of lyrics of one of Deewaar’s songs – “Maine Tujhe Maanga Tujhe Paaya Hai“. That happened to be Shashi Kapoor’s 74th birthday. That post also marked 300 songs of Sahir Ludhianvi on the blog. It is nine years since then and we touched 700 songs of Sahir on the blog recently. That was post number 5655 for the blog considering that we had touched 2900 on 3rd September 2010 and those days the blog was chugging along at a great speed.

Ever since 2012 March I have tried, rather inconsistently, to send in a post for Shashi Kapoor’s birthday. My last post for the occasion was in 2019, the song being “Kya Karoon Mujhko Time Nahin“. As I re-read that post I found that the first time I participated on the blog was as a commentor (I was a pillion rider to Peevesie that day when she wrote that comment) for a Shashi Kapoor song.

The first Amitabh song that I wrote a post for was, I think, the friendship song of Suhaag. I am glued to the idiot box whenever there is an Shashi Kapoor-Amitabh Bachchan movie playing and I have been indulged by a certain channel of the DTH provider who played ‘Namak Halal’ (1982) and ‘Suhaag’ (1979) yesterday.

As I am writing this post, that particular channel is showing ‘Chori Mera Kaam’ (1975) of which I have very vague memories of, having seen it in the ’70s. The things that I remember is Deven Verma’s character which was called Praveen Bhai, Zeenat Aman and Shashi trying to outsmart each other and because this was a movie directed by Brij it had interesting roles for Ashok Kumar and Pran. It had great music by Kalyanji Anandji.

He must have been a great co-actor as we have seen him with Shatrughan Sinha, Sanjeev Kumar, Rekha, Hema Malini, Rakhee, Zeenat Aman, Sharmila Tagore, Parveen Babi and so many others. But we can’t forget his pairing with Nanda in the ’60s with whom he featured in 8 films.

He began his career playing the childhood of Raj Kapoor in ‘Awaara’ (1951) etc. and had his first adult role in Yash Chopra’s ‘Dharmaputra’ (1961) going on to act in almost 116 movies of which 60 were solos and 55 multi-starrers. He was a Padma Bhushan winner and was honored with the Dadasaheb Phalke award in 2014, for his contribution to Hindi Cinema.

He was a filmmaker who made movies that were not in the commercial format and got the likes of Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani, Aparna Sen, Girish Karnad to direct it. And he used to say that he acted in the regular masala movie so that he could finance the kind of movies that he liked to offer his fans.

I was reminded of today’s song thanks to ‘Chori Mera Kaam’. No, I haven’t discovered any hidden song in that movie. We have already Yippeee’d it. It reminded me of the Zeenat Aman – Shashi Kapoor films. ‘Chori Mera Kaam’ was followed by 10 films like ‘Vakil Babu’ (1982), ‘Bandhan Kachhe Dhaagon Ka’ (1983) etc.

There was this 1983 masala movie ‘Pakhandi’ directed by Samir Ganguly. It had Shashi Kapoor- Zeenat Aman -Asha Parekh- Sanjeev Kumar leading a cast with Ranjeet, Jagdeep, Helen, Leela Mishra as supporting cast. The song is the handiwork of Majrooh Sultanpuri-Laxmi-Pyare-Asha Bhonsle-Kishore Kumar. The video shows Zeenat and Shashi Kapoor participating in a DANCE COMPETITION!!!! Shashi Kapoor dancing???? I will not say that he was a bad dancer but definitely not in the same league as his brother Shammi Kapoor or his nephew Rishi Kapoor. He had a sense of rhythm like his other brother Raj Kapoor and no ‘two- left-feet’ issue like his contemporary Dharmendra. And this song has choreography very different from what we generally see Shashi do. It has prompted me to put this masala movie in my to be seen list.
