#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #

YEAR 1983-2

The song under discussion is from the movie ‘Painter Babu-1983’. It was a special movie for teenagers of those days like us.

Board examination for Xth were upon us and obviously that was uppermost in our minds. At the same time, we were not immune to the other topics of our interest, viz cricket, Hindi movies, and listening to Hindi movie songs on radio.

‘Painter Babu’ was being promoted on radio just as we were preparing for our board exams (of class Xth). Songs of this movie, that were frequently played on radio was a hot topic of discussion in my friend circle. The radio promotion of this movie had its intended effect on us and we became curious about this movie and its debutant lead pair. The fact this movie was produced by Manoj Kumar was in any case an added attraction. AThe fact that Manoj Kumar’s brother was making his debut (with three others also makingtheir debuts), had our friend’s circle excited about this movie. The music of this movie was composed by music duo Uttam Singh- Jagdish Khanna. These names were new for me. We finally got to watch this movie during tsummer vacations after our board examination was over.

In this article, I am presenting a song, ‘suno aye duniyawaalon ek naya paighaam laaya hoon’ from an incomplete film, ‘Naya Mandir’ (1961). It was directed by Kishore Sahu. It had Manoj Kumar, Mala Sinha and Mehmood in main roles. I came to know of this song on the audio album of ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983). Unfortunately, this song seems to have been deleted from the VCD of the film available on one of the video sharing platforms. Since video clip of the song is available in continuation of the scene from ‘Film Hi Film. (1983), it can be construed that the song was included in the film.

Shahab Ahmed, the producer of ‘Film Hi Film’ (1983) had earlier produced ‘Cinema Cinema’ (1979). During his visit to Bombay Film Laboratory, he was astonished to see cans of more than 2000 unfinished films lying in the laboratory. Shahab Ahmed thought that a lot of efforts had gone into making these films which unfortunately remained incomplete for various reasons. So, he came with the idea of incorporating scenes and songs from a few select incomplete films to make a full-length feature film [Source: ‘…and Pran’ (2005) by Bunny Rueben].

Manoj Kumar (24.07.1937 – 04.04.2025) is synonymous with Bharat Kumar, yes! but he was much more. He was involved in multiple branches of film making – acting, production, direction, editing, writing (story, dialogues, lyrics). He has given many memorable films in various capacities. And very rightly he was honored with awards, and accolades time to time in his life journey. He was conferred with the highest award for films i.e. the ‘Dadasaheb Phalke Award’ in in ‘2015’. Earlier he had won the National Award for his movie Úpkaar’ in 1967, which was awarded as the second-best feature film of that year. He won the Filmfare awards in different categories viz as Best Actor for the film ‘Be-imaan-1972’, Best Director Award for the movies “Upkaar-1967″’and ‘Roti Kapadaa Aur Makaan-1974’, Producer award (with others) for “Upkaar-1967” and the award for Best Story and Dialogues for “Upkaar-1967”. He won the award for Best Editing for the movie ‘Shor’ and finally the Filmfare ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ for films in ‘1999’. No other film personality has won four awards for a single movie. What is more interesting is that he was also nominated for the ‘Best Actor’ award for the same movie i.e. “Upkaar-1967”.

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Shirdi Ke Saainbaabaa-1977)

Today’s song is from the film ‘Shirdi Ke Saainbaabaa-1977’. I have earlier presented a song from this movie which has been close to my heart since many years, and had shared lyrics for one song from this movie which I liked very much. This movie has some good songs and a few of them have been permanently embedded in my memory ever since I watched it in ‘1977’. I vaguely remember to have watched this movie with my younger brothers and cousins at Akola . This must in the summer vacations of that year ‘1977’. Also, I vaguely remember that this movie was given a ‘tax free’ status.

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Kraanti-1981’. This was one of the biggest movies of our times when people like me were still growing up or had just entered their teens. I still vividly remember the summer of 1981 when we had watched this movie in the near-by city Akola (Maharashtra). This movie was passed by Censor Board on 28.01.1981. Unlike now, when movies are released simultaneously in all places, it would take two-three months for the movies to reach the theatres then.

(A tribute to Singer Mukesh on his Remembrance Day 27th Aug’2023)
——————————————-———————————

Readers of this blog are aware that this year is the ‘birth centenary year’ of the legendary singer Mukesh (22.07.1923 – 27.08.1976). Earlier we had a few posts on the blog for the birth centenary celebrations. When our respected Sudhir ji and Mahesh ji started presenting posts with Mukesh songs I was under the impression that there will be post on every day starting from 22nd July to 27th August (which is Mukesh’s Remembrance Day) since many Mukesh songs are yet to be posted here. That did not happen. But there were some Mukesh related posts till his birth anniversary …

“Today’s article is inspired from a real-life story and is based on real life experiences happening in our day to day life”

Any ‘resemblance’ of the story/character mentioned in the article is much expected (and is not a mere ‘coincidence’) with ‘everyman’/ ‘everywoman’s life especially who have been ‘immersed’ in love sometime in their life, and/or could not turned into a lifetime relationship.
Some of them could be ‘Hindi movie buffs’ and lovers of HFM (especially the songs of love –and songs of milan and judaai etc etc.) for which the author should not be held responsible or criticized or punished in ‘any’ form 🙂

We are in the fag-end of the month of June of this year 2022. As I had mentioned earlier that this month is a special for many of us due to the many anniversaries falling in this month i.e., anniversaries of relatives, friends and as well as anniversaries of many artists too. Today we celebrate birth anniversary of our beloved music genius Rahul Dev Burman, and one post has already been posted on the blog remembering Pancham.

Today 27th June, 2022 is also the seventy-second birth anniversary of singer Nitin Mukesh (born on 27th June, 1950). We wish him a very happy birthday today and also wish him a healthy and peaceful life ahead.
