The readers of this blog are by now well aware that the blog has completed five years today (19 july 2013). I did not need to announce it though. A few regulars were already aware of this occasion. In fact, Peevesie’s mom, a fellow enthusiast and a fellow sufferer at the hands of her internet supply provider, 🙂 offered her greetings yesterday itself. Another regular, Avinash Scrapwala then pointed it out to her that the birthday (oops, birth anniversary 🙂 ) of the blog fell on 19 july. 🙂

“Chingaari” (1971), despite being a recent movie by the standards of this blog is quite an obscure movie. Searching information about this movie hardly yields any information. Apparently this movie got released in 1989, despite being a movie of 1971. This movie had Sanjay Khan, Leena Chandawarkar, Shatrughan Sinha, Rehman, Pran, Padma Khanna, Jr Mehmood, David, Tiwari, Jagirdar etc in it.

I was at my movie watching “best” in 1980, and movies of that vintage are recent movies by the standards of this blog. Still I had never heard of this movie called “Zaalim” (1980) till now. When one looks at the starcast of this movie, one finds the name of Vinod Khanna as the hero who looked the most likely candidate to challenge Amitabh Bachchan as the leading male actor of those days, but unlike Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna lacked peace of mind and was searching for it in the Ashram of Bhagwan Rajneesh, later known as Osho. As a result, Vinod Khanna was distracted and was unable to devote himself fully to his filmy career. That told on the box office performances of his movies of those days.

This song “Ganga Mein dooba na Jamuna mein dooba” was an extremely popular song of its time, viz 1970s. I was one of those who lived listening to this song and humming it too, all the while remaining totally oblivious to the details of this song. With time, this song ran its course and was forgotten with time.

When we like songs, we tend to gain information about the songs (name of the movie, actors lip syncing it etc) in due course. And then there are songs whose information continue to be nebulous though that does not stop us from enjoying these songs.

This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Yesterday, Atul ji has posted a song whose lyrics were sent in by Prakash ji. The song –“Kaise Mitti Ke Maadho Se Paala Padaa” . On screen, it is Leena Chandavarkar trying to woo an apparently unwilling Sanjeev Kumar who seemingly does not understand the moves she is making and the words she is singing. Or maybe he does, but is choosing to remain aloof and unconcerned. I remember this song from the radio listening days, but I saw the video only today. And as soon as the song started, and Leena Chandavarkar started to sing out her complaints to her ‘beau fatale’, I immediately recalled another song – same era, same pair of actors on screen, the same complaint. Well one difference, the mood in the song that I refer to, is a bit more explicit, and a bit more demanding.
