The cast included Mala Sinha, Sanjay Khan, Nazima, Vijay Kumar, Johny Walker, Jagirdar, Amar, Pravin Paul, Bela Bose, Zeb Sultana, Tony Walker, Bela Bose, Ratan Gurung etc. The film’s producer, Tony Walker (real name: Kamaluddin Kazi) was Johny Walker’s brother and film’s other actor, Vijay Kumar ( real Name: Waheeduddin Kazi) was the youngest brother of Johny and Tony Walker. Probably, this was the only film in which all the three brothers acted together.

“Lailo Shabab Aai Jhoom Jhoom Ke” by Lata Mangeshkar and chorus is written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed by R D Burman. It’s from “Do Phool” (1973).

Do Phool was produced by Mehmood under his banner “Balaji / Raam Raj Kalamandir” and directed by S Ramanathan. The movie was based on the Tamil film Anubavi Raja Anubavi by K. Balachander (original story). The Screenplay & Hindi adaptation was by Abrar Alvi and Rama Arangannal. Music is composed by R. D. Burman while the lyrics were written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

‘Barkha Bahaar’ (1973) was produced by Amar Kumar and his brother, Prahlad Kumar and was directed by Amar Kumar. The cast included Navin Nischol, Rekha, Kamran, Dulari, Murad, Hiralal, Mubarak etc. The film was based on ‘Resurrection’ (1899), the last novel written by Leo Tolstoy. Amar Kumar has directed some good films such as ‘Garam Coat’ (1955), ‘Ab Dilli Door Naheen’ (1957), ‘Rangoli’ (1962), ‘Mere Sanam’ (1965), ‘Mere Hamdam Mere Dost’ (1968), ‘Pyaasi Shaam’ (1969) etc.

I was not aware of this film until recently. The information about the film is sketchy. I came across an advertisement of the film announcing the release of the film in 1971. However, the film was certified on October 25. 1973 and was released thereafter. This indicates that the film may have gone on the floor some time in 1970, most probably after the box office success of ‘Saawan Bhaadon’ (1970) in which both Navin Nischol and Rekha made their debut.

Rafi Sahab’s Legendary Associations – 15

Back in 2021, I had started this ambitious series for posts to highlight the significant associations in Rafi Sahab’s career. I knew that very few and far between, songs of the major influencers on Rafi Sahab’s singing, were remaining to be posted in the blog, even in 2021.

Most of these stalwarts were old timers, like Naushad, S. D. Burman, Shankar-Jaikishan, Chitragupt, Ravi and C. Ramchandra etc. A few of them of them were more contemporary, like R. D. Burman and Laxmikant-Pyarelal, who were with him. They were the latest beneficiaries of Rafi magic, who were ‘faizyafta” till the end, in 1980. Both started in 1966-67 and continued. Even Kalyanji-Anandji was composing songs for Rafi sahab till the end of 70’s. Madan Mohan and Ravi did it throughout his career and till “Laila Majnu” in 1976, and was the only one who started in 50’s and ended and 70’s, apart from Naushad.

We are moving a bit away from the Rare/Rarely Heard song series of Asha Bhosle and turn to a beautiful mujra by Lata Mangeshkar. The song is “Dil Ka Karar Layi” from “Kundan” (1972). The song is penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed by Ganesh.

I used to love this song after its release and till about the early 1980s when it stopped playing on Radio Ceylon (SLBC). Recently when Atul Ji posted another song from the same movie, I suddenly remembered this song.

“Naach Uthhe Sansaar”(1976) was directed by Yakub Hasan Rizvi for Regal Theatres, Bombay. The movie had Shashi Kapoor, Hema Malini, Simmi Garewal, Rajinder Nath, Leela Mishra etc in it.

HFGK lists six songs in “Naach Uthhe Sansaar”(1976). But I notice that song number 1 (aa jaa re aaja) and song number 6 (sookhi dharti dhool udaawe) is one single song that is erroneously mentioned as two separate songs in HFGK.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

#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.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

#Bhoole-Bisre Geet #

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.
