“Mahua” (1969) was produced, directed and written by Bibhuti Mitra. The movie had Shiv Kumar, Anjana Manjrekar aka Anjana Mumtaz, Premnath, Farah, Asit Sen, Aruna Irani, Murad,Jankidas, Ulhas, Badri Prasad etc in it.

“Mahua” (1969) had eight sonfs in it. Five songs have been covered in the blog. The fifth song was covered in the blog in 2014 after that there has been a break of more than 11 years when songs of this movie have not been taken up for discussion.

Here is the sixth song from “Mahua” (1969) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Qamar Jalalabadi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Sonik Omi.

The song is picturised as a “remonstrating with the Almighty” song on Anjana Manjrekar (later Anjana Mumtaz) while her beloved Shiv Kumar is thrown to the lions, like how it used to be done in ancient Rome. While Anjana is singing the song shaming the Almighty if HE does not pay heed, Shiv Kumar is wrestling with a lion. as the song ends, Shiv Kumar emerges victorious over the lion. 🙂 It shows that singing “remontrating with the Almighty” song used to bear fruits in Hindi movies of yore ! 🙂


Song-Pyaar mera jo toone lootaa (Mahua)(1969) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyricist-Qamar Jalalabadi, MD-Sonik Omi

Lyrics

Bhagwan
Bhagwan
Bhagwan
pyaar mera jo toone loota
samjhoongee Bhagwan hai jhootha
sabko naach nachaane waale
soch le
aaj tera imtahaan hai
bhagwan

ek thhee bavula naaree
toone uska lachhindar de hee diya
saccha Savitri ka pyaar thha
usne Yam se piya ko to le hee liya
pyaar saccha mera
de raha hai sada
ise chheenega kaise tu
soch le
ye to mera satyawan hai
soch le
aaj tera imtahaan hai
pyaar mera jo toone loota
samjhoongee Bhagwan hai jhootha
sabko naach nachaane waale
soch le
aaj tera imtahaan hai
Bhagwan

ansuya thhee prem pyaasee
rogee pritam ko usne bacha hee liya
Sita thhee Raghuwar kee pyaaree
usne Raavan se aanchal chhuda hee liya
dekh le bhar gaya ab ghada paap ka
paapee Raavan kee shakti ko noch le
tu to sarv shaktiman hai
paapee Raavan kee shakti ko noch le
tu to sarv shaktiman hai
Bhagwan
Bhagwan
Bhagwan

Hullo Atuldom

This post is thanks to the reminder that came from an Atulite (on Whatsapp), that today would have been the 100th birthday of Omkar Prasad Nayyar better known as O.P.Nayyar to the film- music- loving public.

O.P. Nayyar was born in Lahore, which is now in Pakistan, on 16th January 1926 as one among four sons. According to information on the internet, all his brothers are doctors. He was married to Saroj Nayyar who was a stage dancer when she met OPN who was at that time a singer at Lahore Radio Station. The Nayyars are parents to three daughters and a son. One of his granddaughters or grand niece, Niharica Raizada an actress, was born in Luxembourg, was seen in the Rohit Shetty directed ‘Sooryavanshi’ in 2021 & ‘Total Dhamaal’ (2018) a Inder Kumar directed film.

O P Nayyar was active in the film world from 1949 when he gave the background score for ‘Kaneez’. Dalsukh Pancholi’s ‘Aasman’ (1952) was his first as music director. ‘Zid’ (1994) directed by Esmayeel Shroff was the last film with OPN’s music.

In between 1952 & 1994 (almost 42 years) OPN’s music was heard in 73 Hindi movies (according to this post by Atulji.
That post also gives the number of O.P. Nayyar songs yet to be posted as 97. Since then (2018) we have added 37 more songs i.e. around 60 filmy songs are yet to be posted.

Today (9 July 2025) is the birth centenary of Guru Dutt (9 July 1925-10 october 1964). What a coincidence that today is 6200th day of the blog as well.

Guru Dutt had already carved a niche for himself in Hindi film industry by the time he was gone. He was just 39 years old when he expired. He had a very troubled personal life which took its toll on him (as well as on his wife Geeta Dutt). Both of them legends, but both of them were taken away when so young. Guru Dutt left for the heavenly abode at the age of 39, Geeta Dutt was 41 when she departed. Both of them already have two decades of stellar accomplishments behind them and both had become legends by the time they departed.

It is worth noting that almost all movies where Guru Dutt figured have already been YIPPEED in the blog. Only exception being “Lakharani” (1945) which was his debut film, and “Sailaab”(1956). His other films, viz. “Hum Ek Hain”(1946), Girls’s school”(1949), “Sangram” (1950),”Baazi”(1951), “Jaal”(1952), “Baaz”(1953), “Aar Paar”(1954), Mr and Mrs 55 (1955), “CID”(1956),’Pyaasa”(1957), Kaaghaz Ke Phool”(1959), “Chaudhvin Ka Chaand”(1960),”Saahib Bibi aur Ghulam”(1962) ,”Bahurani”(1963) and “Saanjh aur Sawera”(1964) have already been YIPPEED in the blog.

This article is his 1400th contribution in the blog as a guest poster.

This is my 1400th post on this Blog. For me, it is like a big dream. I feel I will wake up and find that this figure was only a dream figure ! But looks like it is all real.

While I am glad for this new Milestone, it is still a mystery how it has happened. When I retired from my service in 1998 and later from all professional activities in 2010, I was thinking what to do now. Then one day I remembered about my old notebooks in which I had written about the old films which I saw in my younger days and I opened those Pandora’s boxes. A new world opened before me. I bought a Laptop and learnt how to operate it from my grandchildren, who seemed to be born with that knowledge ! I was 71 years old then.

Today’s song is from the film Aan Baan-1956.

1956 was the year of the Silver Jubilee of the Talkie films. The ” Golden Era” of Hindi film music was on its peak and many memorable films were made in 1956. The Bangla version of Hindi film Jagte Raho had won the Grand Prix award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Other notable films were Nai Dilli (one of my favourite films),Ek hi raasta, Bhai Bhai from AVM, Chori-Chori- also from south, C.I.D., Hum sab chor hain ( another from my favourite’s list), Basant Bahar, Toofan aur Diya, Funtoosh, Hateemtai, Taksaal, Bandhan, Jaldeep, Rajhath and Inspector.
