Hullo Atuldom

I was not planning on a BTYC post. It is just that I got a mail from our Prakshchandraji with songs from a movie that was posted on this date in 2013 i.e. 11/07/2103.

Out of curiosity, I looked up to see what song from this film has appeared on the blog & I found this post. That song/ post belonged to the Padmini Kolhapure- Kumar Gaurav starrer, 1984 released, “Hum Hain Laajawab”. The film was directed by Mohan Sehgal and produced by Jawaharlal Bafna, C.D. Mehta, Vasant Desai (I think it should be Vasant Doshi) & Mrs. B.N. Shah. Anand Bakshi was the lyricist & RD Burman the music director.

I don’t recall seeing this movie at the time of its theatrical release; but I may have seen some part of it on some satellite television channel over the years. On looking up for the synopsis on some internet sites this is what I found:

“Thakur (Kamal Kapoor) is a wealthy, principled, and punctual man, who will not tolerate anything, even music in his palatial home. Thakur’s only motto in life is money, and each and every second is spent on making and earning money. His elder son, Amar Kumar (a grown up Master Mayur) rebels against this, and is warned. But Amar does not heed this warning, and falls in love with a poor gypsy girl, Jyoti (Huma Khan), and both elope in order to escape the wrath of his dad. Thakur second son, Pawan Kumar (Kumar Gaurav), is sent away abroad so that there are no lingering bad influences on his life. Years later, Pawan returns home, and is the exact cold-hearted and arrogant image as his dad. Amar and his wife give birth to a son, and Amar writes to his dad to forgive him. Shortly thereafter the couple pass away, leaving their son, with Jyoti’s sister, Dilruba (Padmini Kolhgapure). Thakur decides to forgive his late son and asks Pawan to go and bring his grandson (Master Ravi) home. Pawan sets forth to get his nephew, with the help of MGM (Rakesh Bedi), and meets a host of less-than-fortunate people. His attitude does not get him anywhere with Dilruba and he is forced to assume another identity, that of Aashiq, to try and get his nephew home. He does succeed in pulling wool over Dilruba’s eyes and both eventually fall in love with each other – little knowing that his dad has already planned his marriage with wealthy Meenakshi (Kiran Vairale) and if he refuses he may suffer the same fate as Amar.”

On reading the above I got a feeling that I was reading the story of the Rishi Kapoor- Padmini Kolhapure starrer ‘Zamaane Ko Dikhaana Hai’ that released in 1981. The other parallel between the two films is that Padmini plays the guardian to Randhir Kapoor & Neelam Mehra’s son; played by Master Ravi who played the same role in ‘Hum Hain Laajawab’.

Further researching gave me the enlightenment that there are other movies with the same storyline viz: ‘Love In Tokyo’ (1966), ‘English Babu Desi Mem’ (1996)’. As I was typing out all this our Peevesie pointed out that there was an American romantic comedy ‘Life As We Know It’ (2010); that had nearly similar story.

Going back to where this post started from, about the BTYC, let us see the songs that were posted on this date in 2013.

8329 Hey parwat tumse paarvati pooch rahi karke binti Kailashpati (1962) On the occasion of Avinash Vyas’s birth anniversary. His birthday is shown as 21 july in other sites, though
8330 Pag pag thokar khaaye jawaani Hamaari Kismat (1949) Uma Devi (Tuntun) birthday. Today (11 July 2023) is her 100th birth anniversary
8331 Dukh sukh ki har ik maala Kudrat (1981) Multi version song (by Rafi and Chandrashekhar Gadgil)On the occasion of remembrance anniversary of Qateel Shifai. Today (11 July 2023) is his 22nd remembrance day.
8332 Koi pardesee aaya pardes mein Hum Hain Laajawaab (1984) On the occasion of birthday of Kumar Gaurav

From the above we can see that, on this date (11 July), 10 years ago, Atulji had posted 7 songs one of which was a multi-version song in the voices of Chandrashekar Gadgil & Mohd. Rafi, from ‘Kudrat’ (1981).

With this post we are wishing the (once) sweet looking, chocolate-boy, romantic actor Kumar Gaurav on his 67th birthday. He had a fabulous launch through “Love Story” (1981). The movie was a big success and he was expected to be the favourite actor for all teenage girls of that time, much like what Rajesh Khanna was in the early 1970s. But a few flop movies, which were either badly made or had indifferent plotlines, did not help his career. He expected that his career will revive when he had critically acclaimed performances in ‘Naam’ (1986) & ‘Janam’ (1985) – both of which were directed by Mahesh Bhatt. His last released Hindi film was the multi-starrer ‘Kaante’ (2002) where he shared screen space with Amitabh Bachchan, Suniel Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Mahesh Manjrekar & Lucky Ali.

Today’s beach-side song has Kishore Kumar giving playback for Manoj Kumar Tuli (Kumar Gaurav’s birth name). I am not sure if it is Padmini Kolhapure herself who is mouthing the words in between the antaras. I found a youtube link which shows the vinyl of the film, where the female voice is credited as Meena. Now who is this ? 🤔

danke ki chot se ailaan kar diya
haan haan haan
danke ki chot se ailaan kar diya

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 24
———————————————————

MEENA (1944) appears to be an obscure movie at least to me as I had never heard nor came across the name of this film until I found a multiple version song from the film a few days back. The film was produced under the banner of Bharat Pictures and was directed by Phani Majumdar. The star cast included Hansa Wadkar, Vasanti, Master Shashi Kapoor (Sr.), Dixit, Gulab, Ratan Piya, Anand etc. There were 7 songs (including a multiple version) in the film, all penned by Pandit Phani which were set to music by Hari Prasanna Das.

Some two years back, I had collected a list of songs picturised on Railways and I thought that I had covered almost all the songs that were there on this topic. By now, I have discovered several more Rail songs.
