78th Independence day – 15th August, 2024

The nation grows older by one more year on 15th August. And hopefully wiser too. Among the nations formed in 20th century, post world wars scenario, we have indeed come a long way, and hopefully shall grow, by leaps and bounds.

The cultural conflux and amalgamation, is what makes this country what it is, that the world looks up to us for the colourful heritiage, for the values of humanity, for intellectual and literary wealth.

Hullo Atuldom

Today is 4th August. We are celebrating/ remembering the maverick actor, singer, music director, producer, director of Hindi Films on his 95th birthday. I think he was first a singer who was coaxed into acting and eventually turned a producer/director of films. I think he composed songs only for films that he made. (I don’t mind if fans of his correct me 🙂 )
I am sure I need not spell specifically that I am talking of Kishore Kumar (Khandlawala).

Also, I need not mention that he was the brother of Ashok Kumar & Anup Kumar & Sati Devi who was the wife of Sashadhar Mukherjee (founder of Filmalaya Studios). It is common knowledge that all his four wives were actresses & his son Amit Kumar is also a singer/actor/ music composer.

#Singer Mohd Rafi’s Remembrance Day 31st July’2024#

In this post I am presenting a Rafi song from the movie ‘Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thhi’ (1970). This song is picturised on actor Jagdeep. Music lovers are well aware that there are many well-known songs sung by Rafi Sb for actor Jagdeep. Some prominent songs among them that I vividly remember are “Chali Chali Re Patang Meri Chali Re“, “Hum Panchhi Ek Daal Ke“, and “Paas Baithho Tabeeyat Bahal Jaayegi” and many others. In the later years i.e. from the year 1980 Rafi Sb lent his voice to actor Jagdeep in the movie ‘Phir Wohi Raat’ for the song “Aa Gaye Yaaro Jeene Ke Din” which I had presented on this blog earlier. There is long list of Rafi songs for Jagdeep and we will try to discuss the total list here in future posts on the blog.

Commemorating 100 years of Rafi – 44th Death anniversary on 31st July, 2024.

basti basti parbat parbat
gaata jaaye banjaaraa aa
le kar dil ka ek taaraa aa

There are iconic songs in the Hindi film songs, and then there is this song (film ‘Railway Platform’ – 1955). Really. For my generation of Hindi film music fans, this is the iconic one. Like one comment in the blog post says “Vividh Bharati song, Is geet ko koi bhi sachcha listner kaise bhool sakta hai….ek ek shabd, ek ek piece sangeet ka, dil, aur dimaag ke andar record kiya hua hai. Mujhe yaad hai aise bahut log hain JINHONE apni zindagi men PEHLA Hindi geet YE GEET suna, aur Hindi geeton ke deewaane ho gaye. AAJ TAK WOH DEEWANE HAIN.”

The song in this post is from the movie ‘Chaachaa Bhateejaa’ which was released in the year ‘1977’.

If one goes through the ‘list of movies’ released during this year i.e. 1977, one can notice that this was one among the ‘best years’ for Hindi Films. We can see diverse subjects on which movies were based though the central theme of most of the movies revolved around ‘formula movies and entertainment’.

(Lyricist – Naqsh Lyallpuri-2)

Today’s song is from the ‘1964’ movie ‘Sarfarosh’. It is a ‘Qawwali Song’ which is my favorite genre of songs. For me listening to ‘Qawwali’ is always exciting and highly enjoyable as they generally have ‘high quality poetry’ in them along with the singing and the music accompanying it.

“Sarfarosh-1964” was a ‘costume drama’ movie directed by Dharam Kumar for ‘United Movies Art, Bombay’. It had Jairaj, Nishi, Jeevan, Jagirdar, Shery, Maruti, Pratima Devi and others. This movie has six songs which were all written by Naqsh Lyallpuri. Music for this movie was composed by S. Mohinder. Asha Bhonsle, Suman Kalyanpur, and Mohd Rafi had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

Today, the 12th of July is the 70th birthday of Sulakshana Pandit, one of the most underrated and unlucky actor/playback singer of the 1970s and 1980s. I have discussed her brief bio in one of my earlier posts here.

For readers who are interested in knowing more about her and also how she is doing today, can watch her video interview here and also a short video by her younger brother, the famous Jatin Pandit (part of the composer duo Jatin Lalit) here.
