#Yippeeee to Aanchal-1980 #
———————————————

In this post I am presenting a nice ‘morning’ /‘bhor’ song’ from the movie ‘Aanchal-1980’.

Picturisation shows a big house in a vilage where most of the main characters in the movie reside. Rakhee is lip syncing this good morning song in the voice of Lata Mangeshkar. Two decades ago, we had Meena Kumari lip syncing in Lata Mangeshkar’s voice another good morning song ‘jyoti kalash chhalke.’

Like what Meena Kumari was shown doing in that iconic “Bhaabhi Ki Choodiyaan”(1961) song, this “Aanchal”(1980) song shows Rakhee playing her role as an ‘ideal Bhaarteey Naari’ performing early morning household chores such as spraying water (mixed with ‘gobar’), ‘tulsi kee pooja’, feeding the birds, extracting water for household works from the pump, waking up other members of the household, preparing them for going to their work etc.

Today is the last day of the ten-day long ‘Durga Pooja Utsav’ or ‘Navraatree festival’ of this year 2025. The effigies of the demon Ravana are being burnt all over the country to celebrate the victory of Good over the evil. The ten day long staging of Ram Leela will also come to an end today.

Ram Leela is performed in many parts of our country. I was thinking of the past decades from the mid-eighties onwards and I realised that many changes have taken place in the presentation of Raamleelaa thanks to the advancement of technology with time. This can be noticed when the scene on the stage changes from one part to other, where the set up is required to be changed. In olden times the curtains were rolled down to change the backdrop of the characters performing on stage. My guess is that this would have undergone a sea change nowadays where we have technology to help us.

People born before nineties who would have attended Raamleelaa shows in their town or villages must have been witness to funny situations arising during the plays because of various reasons such as forgetting the dialogues, or disruptions due to sudden power-cut etc. These unplanned events during the show would have created situations of laughter and comedy for the audiences.

‘Dastoor’ (1991) was produced by Harish Munjal and Prem Chugh and was directed by Anil Mattoo. The cast included debutants Dolly Minhas, Pomy Dev in the lead roles supported by Sharmila Tagaore, Suresh Oberoi, Raza Murad, Alok Nath, Manohar Singh, Johny Lever, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Dinesh Hingoo, Harish Munjal etc. Amita Nangia made her friendly appearance in the film. I have watched the film for the first time only few days back in one sitting. The film is a murder mystery drama with a fast-paced narratives to keep the audience engrossed while watching the film.

The opening scene of the film gives a feel of watching some of the suspense thriller films of the 1960s like ‘Wo Kaun Thhi’ (1964), ‘Poonam Ki Raat’ (1965) and ‘Mera Saaya’ (1966). A girl in white, without any expression, walks through the forest in a dark night with a background song, her destination being an architecturally impressive palatial mansion in which the owner lives alone. The caretkaer of the dmansion is seen smoking his chillum. After some time, he is seen switching off the lights of the first floor of the mansion. Simultaneously, a man in hat is also walking toward the mansion. An unidentified person has killed the watchman of the mansion by suffocating him. Inside the house is a pet eagle which makes a noise, probably giving a notice that someone has entered inside the mansion. Another man is slowly climbing the stairs with camera focussed only on his legs. Now, inside the mansion, there are four persons in addition to the owner of the house – the caretaker, the girl in white, the man with a hat and a person climbing the stairs in the mansion. All these scenes of movements give an indication to the audience that something is going to happen inside the mansion.

Today’s song is from a unique film- Love in Bombay-1975.

It is generally said that records are for breaking. It means, in any field, if a record of achievement is made, sometime or the other, that record is broken. Some records are such that one feels, ‘now this will never be broken. It is the ultimate’.
