We in this blog often pay tributes of HFM artists on the occasion of their birthdays as well as their remembrance anniversaries. These artists are typically singers, lyricists, music directors and actors. But there are others in the background who also contribute in the creation of songs and movies. Since most of them work behind thge scene, they often go uncredited even though their contribution in creating a composition could be of vital importance.

Take the example of the song under discussion. The song being discussed in the post is the iconic song from “Julie”(1975) viz-“Dil kya kare jab kisi se kisee ko pyaar ho jaaye”. People may exclaim how this song is not yet covered in the blog. People would be justified in wondering why this song has not yet been covered when every other song of the movie is already covered.

Hullo to all in Atuldom

Saw a portion of “Padikkadhavan” (Tamil 1985), a few days back. The portion had Sivaji Ganesan (Rajasekhar), the presiding judge for a case, realising that the accused Raja (Rajnikanth) & Ramu (Vijay Babu) are his long-lost brothers. He then proceeds to feign a heart attack & adjourns the court. After researching all night, he returns as a defence lawyer to save Raja and successfully proves that Chakravarthy (Jaishankar) is the one who murdered his own brother. A fight ensues between Chakravarthy and Raja, where Raja defeats Chakravarthy. In the end, Radha (Rajasekhar’s wife) apologises for her old attitude with Raja and Ramu.

Continuing the series on actresses whose names start with A and who have lip-synched to Asha Bhosle’s songs, we come today to Anu Aggarwal, the Aashiqui girl.

Anu Aggarwal arrived with a bang. Her very first film created a huge splash. I still remember the posters of Aashiqui (1990) when they were released. The posters showed a man and a woman hidden behind a jacket, apparently sharing a kiss behind it. Everybody was curious to know who the actor and actress were and what they looked like. The build-up was immense. The songs from the film were first aired on Chitrahaar. The very next day, they became the talk of the town, attracting both praise and criticism.

Asrar ul Hassan Khan (1 October 1919 − 24 May 2000), better known as Majrooh Sultanpuri, was an Indian Urdu poet and lyricist in the Hindi language film industry. He wrote lyrics for numerous Hindi films. He was one of the dominant musical forces in Indian cinema in the 1950s and early 1960s. He is considered one of the finest/ avant-garde Urdu poets of 20th century literature.

In his career spanning six decades (the first time he wrote for a film was in 1945/46 for KL Saigal starrer ‘Shahjehan’), he worked with many music directors – with some father/son pairs of music directors- Chitragupt & his sons Anand Milind; SD Burman & RD Burman; Roshan & Rajesh Roshan to name a few.

Normally, when I set to write a post, I look up songs listed under “List Of Songs Moviewise” to see if the 1st song from the 1st film, or the last song from the last film of the artist is already present on the blog. Then I look out for songs from films that I have heard umpteen times or know the background of. Very often, I also try to combine the works of two or three artists, who’s birthdays or anniversaries are on the same date or a date or two near each other.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #

(Birthday – Music Composer-Rajesh Roshan)

Today 24th May 2026 is the birthday of music director-lyricist Rajesh Roshan. On this occasion we are presenting some of his compositions here.

Rajesh Roshan is known for creating some very beautiful and memorable romantic songs. Here I would specially like to mention the songs from ‘Swarg Narak-1978’ ‘naheen naheen koyee tumsaa haseen’ and ‘leena o leena’ these are two songs that I have stayed in my memory and I have fond memories of having listened to these songs despite being unequipped to understand the meanings of the lyrics those days.

(Birthday – Music Composer-Rajesh Roshan)

Today 24th May is the birthday of music director-lyricist Rajesh Roshan (born on 24.05.1955, some sources mentione the year as 1953). He is one of my favorite all time composer.

I had written about him in couple of my earlier posts on the blog. What I wrote about him in the past is worth repeating it on this occasion. During my school days, our cricket playing group used to meet every evening at the Colony recreation club. after going throught the news papers/magazines kept there, we would start discussing various topics. Hindi films and Songs were naturally a topic of common interest. Our favourite films and songs frequently got discussed there.
