I am presenting the song, ‘binati suniye naathh hamaari’ from Episode-27 of the TV Serial, ‘Mahabharat’ (1988) which is rendered by Sadhana Sargam in the words of Pandit Narendra Sharma. The song is picturised on Channa Ruparel in the role of Rukmini. The background song conveys the essence of a letter which Rukmini writes to Krishna to rescue her from her forced marriage to Shishupal, the prince of Chedi (the present day Bundelkhand). Rukmini had never met Krishna but she had heard the stories of his heroics and bravery. She was devoted to Lord Krishna and had made up her mind that she would marry him only. But her elder brother, Rukmi was more interested in Rukmini marrying Shishupal because of his friendship with Jarasandh, the king of Magadh who wanted him to arrange his sister’s marriage with Shishupal. Also, Shishupal hated Krishna out of jealousy and did not want Rukmini to get married to Krishna.

‘Mahabharat’ (1988), the TV Serial produced by B R Chopra and directed by Ravi Chopra was telecast on Doordarshan in 94 episodes from October 2, 1988, to June 24, 1990. The screenplay and dialogues were written by Rahi Masoom Raza. There were 20 main actors and about 60 actors in supporting roles apart from some actors appearing specifically for one or two episodes.

The episodes were telecast every Sunday and I have watched almost all the episodes when these were telecast. Those who have watched the episodes would recall that each episode used to start with the title song, ‘ath shree Mahabharat kathha’ and to end with a theme song of each episode which were rendered by Mahendra Kapoor. But there were many other songs in some episodes which I have almost forgotten except a few, that too, only the context and not the songs. Fortunately, Wikipedia has listed the songs of TV Serial, Mahabharat (1988) numbering 22 songs (including the title song) rendered by eight playback singers which include Mahendra Kapoor, Rajkamal, Anuradha Paudwal, Sadhana Sargam, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Nitin Mukesh, Suresh Wadkar and Roopa Ganguly. The songs were written by Pandit Narendra Sharma apart from songs with traditional lyrics. All the songs were set to music by Rajkamal.

Mukesh and his Actors – 03
———————————————

It was 1967, nearly 3 decades since Mukesh started singing in HFM. Yet, his mettle was again put to test. The film was Milan (1967) for which the production house of L. V. Prasad, decided to rope in emerging composer duo Laxmikant Pyarelal (LP). This was in spite of their successful association with Shankar Jaikishan for Chhoti Bahen (1959), Sasural (1961), Hamrahi (1963), Beti Bete (1964) etc.

Today (11 December 2023) is the 101st birth anniversary of Dilip Kumar (11 December 1922 – 7 July 2021). He was the first superstar of Hindi movies, even though this term was not coined during his time. Those who later became known as superstars were often influenced by the acting style of Dilip Kumar.

Today’s song is from a religious film Ishwar Bhakti-1951. The other name for this film was ” Shani Mahatmya”.

There are certain words/phrases in our religion which terrorise the common innocent people, who have total faith but not much knowledge about their religion. But then, there are such people in almost every religion. On an average only about 10-15 % people in any religion will be found who have read their religious books completely. Most people tend to depend on the Pujaris, Mullas, Priests and other religious heads to spoon-feed them about their religion. Now don’t ask me how many of these religious heads have read their religious books !

Ah.. Raj Kapoor – the Showman. Sometimes also referred to as the Greatest Showman of Indian Cinema. A lifetime affair with the camera – very prominently handled both ends, sometimes in front of it, and then also behind it. Starting with childhood appearances accompanying his illustrious father to studios. And on to be a performer himself. And very soon, a producer – to quench his thirst, rather his search, for the ultimate story of love.

Raj Kapoor – the eternal seeker, the eternal explorer – in quest for the meaning of love equation between a man and a woman. All his life he produced films. The subjects, the scenarios varied, but against all the scenarios the unwavering theme, the unchanging premise of emotions flowing from one heart to another.
