When Atul started his alphabetical series of actresses who have lip-synced to Asha Bhosle’s voice, I suggested the names of some actresses who were missing from the list. I also sent the respective songs. Amala’s name was on my list, along with the song “Step by Step” from Dost (1989). When I asked Atul if he would mind my writing a post on the song, he replied that he would welcome it. This is how this contribution of mine came about after a long hiatus from this resourceful blog.

I became aware of Amala through her first Hindi film, Pushpak (1987). The film made quite a splash in the Hindi film industry, as it was a silent movie released in the middle of a decade that was full of very loud films. I did not have the chance to watch it in a cinema hall at the time. Amala looked quite different from the usual Hindi heroines of that era. In her interviews, she came across as a very sympathetic person who was actively involved in efforts against cruelty to animals. This brings us to the plot of the movie in question.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-8

This duet composition by Rahul Dev Burman is from the 1990 movie ‘Dushman’. This title “Dushman” was also released in the years 1939, 1957, 1971 and 1998. All these four movies are already represented in the blog. “Dushman”(1990) came 19 years after “Dushman “(1971). Among all “Dushman” ( 🙂 ) I guess that the movie released in 1971 starring Rajesh Khanna in the title role (Dushman chaachaa 🙂 ) must be the most popular and successful of all these movies.

“Dushman”(1990) was directed by Shakti Samanta for ‘Shakti Films, Bombay’ i.e. his home productions. The cast of this movie has Mithoon Chakravarty, Mandakini, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Alok Nath, Deepa Sahi, Tanuja, Biplab Chatterjee, Vijay Arora, Ranjeet, Tarun Ghosh, Manek Dutt, Bob Christo, Ravi Nandi, Shakti Thakur, Anirudh Agarwal and others. This movie was passed by the Censor Board on 12.03.1990.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-6

Today’s duet song which is composed by Rahul Dev Burman, fondly known as Pancham, is from the movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’. I have not watched this movie but when I browsed the list of its songs and listened to a few of them, this duet song sounded familiar to me.

This movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ was directed by Moeen Amjad for ‘Chetna Movies’. Shantilal J Sopariwala was the producer of this movie. The presenter of this movie was ‘Chetna Zarda & Co’ and in the title of this movie (in the version available on internet this credit for the presenter comes up with a picture of the container of its product i.e. ‘Zarda’ and printed on it is ‘Chetna Zafrani Zarda 131 flavored chewing tobacco’. 🙂

In this post I am presenting a saawan song from a recent movie ‘Jhoothi Shaan-1991’. Though this movie is now thirty-five years old, by the standards of our blog we call it a recent movie. I have neither watched this movie earlier nor remember to have listened to any songs of this movie.

Ranjan Bose the director of this movie also wrote the story and screenplay of this movie. Askari Jafri and Sanjay Gulati were the producers for this movie.

‘Taraana-1979’ was directed by Deepak Bahri for Chanda Pictures. It was presented by Rajshri Productions and produced by Tarachand Barjatya. Living upto the reputation of the production house this movie too gives us a clean, musical, family entertainer movie. This is a nice movie having a nice story line of ‘love’ and including sub-plots of ‘lost and found’ story, and ‘wealthy and poor’ conflict to it. The cast of this movie ‘Taraana-1979’ is Ranjeeta, Mithun Chakraborty, Dr Shreeram Lagoo, Urmila Bhatt, Jayshree T., Sharat Saxena, and Om Shivpuri. They were supported by Yunus Parvez, Janki Das, Sundar, Bhagwan, Shakeel, Satyabhan Sinha, Naresh, Pardesi, Master Sandeep, Shobha Khote, Mala Jaggi, Uma Khosla, and Jagdeep. The story, screenplay and dialogues of this movie were written by Khalid & Narvi. Editing of this film was done by Mukhtar Ahmed.
