Hullo Atuldom

21st December is the birthday of an actor who made his debut in films in 1986. Though the first film he signed was ‘Tan Badan’, first film for which he started shooting was ‘Love 86’ in June of 1985. ‘Ilzaam’ (release date 28th February 1986) & ‘Love 86’ (release date 14th February 1986) released before his firstsigned ‘Tan Badan’ (release date 25th April 1986).

He was born as the youngest of 5 children and was given the pet name ‘Chi-Chi’ (meaning little finger). His father was former actor Aroon (alias Arun Kumar Ahuja) and singer-actress Nirmala Devi was his mother. He belongs to an ethnically mixed family, as, through his father, his grandfather was Punjabi while his grandmother was Sindhi, but he himself identifies more with his Punjabi side. His paternal side ancestry can be traced to Gujranwala in undivided India & his maternal side had its roots in Varanasi, U.P.

Aroon (Arunkumar Ahuja) came to Mumbai (Bombay back then) to become an actor in the late 1930s. He is best known for appearing in Mehboob Khan’s Aurat (1940). Aroon’s professional career as an actor lasted for 15 years, from 1939 to 1954. In these years, he worked as a hero in 30 films. He produced one unsuccessful film which caused financial loss. The family, living in a bungalow on Mumbai’s Carter Road, moved to Virar, a northern Mumbai suburb. Hence, he wanted his children to be educated before associating with films.

Did I mention that I am writing about Govind Ahuja whom Hindi film fans know as Govinda. He saw ‘Disco Dancer’ (1982), which inspired him to practise dancing for hours. He then made and circulated a promotional VHS cassette to all producers. He was offered jobs in a some commercials. He was offered the role of Abhimanyu in the popular mythological serial Mahabharat (1988) during its casting and he even had auditioned for it. But he was signed by his uncle Anand (born Uday Narayan Singh, we have seen him in a few Hrishikesh Mukherjee films- for example in ‘Golmaal’ as one of Amol Palekar’s friends) for ‘Tan Badan’ which became Govinda’s debut in Hindi Films. And, this actor, Govinda, went to on entertain film goers for the last 39 years. He has seen a lot of ups-n-downs in his career but has been majorly admired for his dancing & comic timing; I would like to add that he is very good in emotional as well as actions scenes. He is still very active and may he continue to do so.

For today’s post I would like to present a song from his first released film (as per date of film releases):- “Love 86”. It was directed by Esmayeel Shroff & produced by Pranlal Mehta. It had Tanuja playing mother to Neelam & Farha (she had not started adding Naaz to her name then). Tanuja’s estranged husband was played by Shafi Inamdar, Asrani played her secretary. Satish Shah & Ravi Baswani played bumbling cops. Rohan Kapoor (singer Mahendra Kapoor’s son) & Govinda played young men who have taken to petty crimes to survive. The young brigade encounter each other, fall in love & manage to keep meeting with lots of help from the father of the girls; the mother opposes as she wants the girls marry brothers from wealthy families so that the girls can stay together in the same family. The movie is a love story so all will be well in the end.

The film had six songs penned by S. H. Bihari (3), Santosh Anand, Sameer & Prem Pandit (one each). Suresh Wadkar, Shailendra Singh, Shabbir Kumar, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Mohammad Aziz, Hemlata & Anuradha Paudwal were the playback singers used.

Today’s song happens when the boys have managed to hoodwink the mother & get permission to go out on a drive with the girls. The bumbling cops, who have been suspended because of the antics of the boys are on the trail of the couples, in disguise of course!

Before I conclude the post I would like to thank my daughter for my first encounter with this blog, through this song post. This opened a whole new world for me, where I could raise ‘farmaishes’ and post my two-bit knowledge as comments.

Atulji, the man behind this blog was kind enough to post one of my mails to him, which had the lyrics of a song from ‘Taxi Taxi’ & I progressed from a commenter to a lyrics contributor, with these songs:-

Jeewan mein hamsafar milte to hain zaroor,

Laayee kahaan hai zindagee

Atulji’s action of converting another mail of mine, which was for the birthday of child actor,(turned adult) Master Satyajeet’s birthday, into this post made me a guest poster on the blog.

Since that post in September 2012, I have slowly moved to a few hundred posts. Here are the songs that accompanied my century posts:-

Century post Song Movie (Year) Date Remarks
100th post Har aadmee ko biwi ka ghulaam hona chaahiye Hiraasat (1987) 6 November 2015 Remembering Sanjeev Kumar on his death anniversary

600th post Hulchal machaa dee toone hulchal Main Solah Baras Ki (1998) 3 December 2023 Remembering Dev Anand on his death anniversary

I must also mention that I have come across many knowledgeable film lovers who are store houses of knowledge after I became a regular follower of the blog. I should thank Atulji for making me a part of this elite world which I love to call Atuldom. I have learnt to enjoy songs for the singing, writing & composition after becoming an Atulite; before 2009 I associated songs with the images accompanying them. I know the background stories with the songs, along with finding versions of some popular songs that I would have otherwise overlooked as being vintage or pre-historic songs; I would like to mention the Ashok Kumar sung version (as an example) of ‘ek chatur naar’ here which I would have labelled pre-historic. 🙂

dhadkanon ko naheen
dhadkanon se gila aa aa

aa shikaayat ko koi naya naam den
aa mohabbat ko koi naya naam den
aa aa aa aa

tere daaman kee khushboo se mehkee rahoon
bin piye hee sada ladkhadaaya karoon oon
kabhee main tere dil ko sataaya karoon
kabhee maim tere dil ko jalaaya karoon
dekh kar bhee tujhe an-dekha karoon oon

aa mohabbat ko koi ee naya naam den
pyaar kee hadd se
aage nikal aaye hum
aa mohabbat ko koi ee naya naam den

aa ibaadat ko
koi naya naam den

The history of Hindi film songs indicates that, by and large, singers who have been formally trained (gandabandha disciples) as Hindustani classical/semi-classical vocalists had the marginal presence in the Hindi films as playback singers. They mainly concentrated on their career as public or private concert singers. Some of them like Mukhtar Begam, Begam Akhtar, Indubala, Angoorbala, Kamala Jharia etc who were actor-singer during the early phase of the sound films, later concentrated on their career as vocalists in Hindustani classical and semi-classical genres.

I just realized that, in the last few years, most of my posts here have been linked to a specific occasion. A birth anniversary, a death anniversary, a blog milestone or something similar.

In the past, I would write a post just for the heck of it – but my writing has gone down considerably. Not just in quality, but in quantity too. And I think there’s a correlation here – it’s a vicious circle. As with many skills, practice makes perfect. Forget perfection, but practice at least helps keep a skill alive.

The less I write, the less I find myself able to string words into sentences – and sentences into paragraphs. Words used to flow in the past, now they’re like Indian batsmen, barring Kohli, batting in English conditions. 🙂

So I thought I should write a post “ainven”. No anniversary or occasion – just writing for the heck of it.
