Today’s song is from a film – Naya Kanoon-1965 – which had an offbeat story on current affairs of IPC. Unfortunately due to several reasons the film was not successful. Two reasons were there. First was, in 1965 so many iconic and milestone movies were made that anything less than their standard was unlikely to have acceptance of the audience. Secondly, the film had inherent lacunae which downgraded it.

Hullo Atuldom

Taking out 1924 from 2025 gives us 101. Is the figure correct? Does that mean today would have been the 101st birthday of Madan Mohan- the composer who gave us such gems as “Rasm-e-ulfat ko nibhaein to nibhaein kaise“, “Kar chale hum fida“, “Kaun Aaya Mere Man Ke Dwaare” and lots more. Our blog’s stats page gives the number of songs as 630 of which the blog has 577.

Madan Mohan’s music was characterised by his immense ability to blend elements of Indian classical music into a new style of Hindi filmi song. He had a keen and sensitive ear for the nuances of Indian classical tunes, and combined them with elements of Western music such as harmonies to produce a style of music that could be appreciated by both classical music aficionados and the common person alike.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 18

Today’s song “Saaqiyaa Saaquiyaa Aankhon Se Jaam Pila De” by Asha Bhosle is another rare/rarely heard song from the 1960s.

The film chronicles the political intrigue, betrayal, and colonial conspiracy that led to one of the most significant events in Indian history — the Battle of Plassey in 1757.

‘Senapati’ (1961) was produced by Jai Gopal Mohla under the banner Mohla Films and was directed by Kedar Kapoor. The star cast included Prithviraj Kapoor, Nalini Jaywant, Amarnath, Veena, K N Singh, Tiwari, Helen, Durga Khote, Chaman Puri, Heera Sawant, Rajan Kapoor, Janakidas, Jeevan Kala, Madhumati etc. I heard the name of the producer, J G Mohla for the first time. Before this film, he had produced ’Insaan’ (1952) and ‘Ehsaan’ (1954). After ‘Senapati’ (1961), he seems to have vanished from Hindi films. But when I saw the name of Madan Mohla as the Associate Producer of this film, it gave me a hint of some connection with J G Mohla. Madan Mohla is a familiar name because of some of his box office hit films like ‘Sharafat’ (1972), ‘Raja Jani’ (1974), ‘Dus Numbri’ (1976) etc. The online search revealed that Madan Mohla was the son of Jai Gopal Mohla (J G Mohla). Incidentally, Madan Mohla was also the assistant director under director Kedar Kapoor for this film.
