(A tribute to Lata Mangeshkar on her first ‘Remembrance Anniversary’)
Today we pay our tributes to the greatest singer of our country Late Lata Mangeshkar on her ‘first Remembrance Anniversary’ on 6 February 2023.
She passed away last year in 2022 on this day.
As a tribute to her today I am presenting a ‘lesser-heard’ song from the ‘1979’ movie ‘Aur Kaun’. I was not aware of this song anytime in the past. I was aware of the name of the movie, though which was released in my childhood and was ‘certified’ as an ‘adult movie’, thus ruling out any chances that I would be able to watch it during its first run. . As luck would have it, I never got an opportunity to watch this movie. (Watching it on Internet is the most uncomfortable thing for me so I have not tried it. May be in future if it is required I will try 🙂 ).

The enticement of the tinsel world of films has fostered many real life stories of people from all walks of life giving up their professions and jobs, with an aspiration to make it a success in the film world. The story of the famous composer Chitragupt (full name Chitragupt Stivastava) is also of this kind. Born in 1917 in Karmaini (Chhapra District), Bihar, Chitragupt did a double MA in Economics and Journalism, and was working as a lecturer in Patna. In the early 40s, he gave it all up and came to Bombay with a dream to make it big, not as an actor, but as a singer and music director. He worked as an assistant with SN Tripathi, who became his mentor. In 1946, Chitragupt got his first independent assignment as a composer for the movie Toofan Queen. Not a success on the box office, the film did nothing much to help progress Chitragupt’s career. He would do another 20 odd films between 1946 and 1952, before coming into his own in the early 1950s. The 1952 film Sindbad the Sailor, though not a huge success in itself, its music was very successful. In 1955, SD Burman recommended him to the AVM studios (in Madras), which started an association that lasted for many years. During this time, he composed music for many hit films from AVM viz., Mein Bhi Ladki Hoon, Barkha, Mein Chup Rahoongi, Bhaabhi etc.

I am sure no one recalls this 1978 movie called “Tumhaari Kasam”. In fact I do not think this movie was ever released in the parts of the country where I was growing up in 1970s. But I recall having heard this song and liking it.
Now that I have rediscoverd this song, after all of 30 years- and with the video of the song to boot, I realise that this beautiful song was picturised surprisingly well.
