#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————
(Birthday – Music Composer-Rajesh Roshan)

Today 24th May is the sixty-eighth birthday of music director-lyricist Rajesh Roshan(born on 24.05.1955). He is one of my favorite all time composer.

I had earlier written about him in a couple of my earlier posts on the blog. So I am not going to repeat all that here again. One thing I definitely write again is that Rajesh Roshan’s songs are part of the ‘big nostalgia’ of my growing years and may be many people like me are fond of him and
his compositions .

Today on the occasion of his birthday I am presenting a song from the movie “Hamaari Bahu Alkaa-1982”.

It was directed by Basu Chatterjee for ‘Anuradha Films. Shyam Sundar Seksariya was the producer of this movie.

Basu Chatterjee also wrote the screenplay and dialogues of this movie. Story of this movie was written by Manoj Basu.

Editing of this movie was done by V.N. Mayekar.

The cast of this movie included Rakesh Roshan, Bindiya Goswami, Asrani, Prema Narayan, Utpal Dutt, Sudha Shivpuri, Master Raju, Ranjeet Sood, Manik Dutt, Aroop Ganguly, Lakshami, R.S. Chopra, Viju Khote Meghdoot, Manmauji, Pappu, Soni, Dev Sharma, Meena, Satya Bannerjee, Pratap, Jayshree T., Meena T., and others.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 12.01.1982.

I remember to have watched this movie at Akola, but I have forgotten about it by now. One thing that I still remember is that I liked this movie very much. It is movies like this one that I love to watch.

“Hamaari Bahu Alkaa-1982” has five songs. Three were written by Yogesh and two by Amit Khanna.

Music for this movie was composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Usha Mangeshkar, Amit Kumar, Shailendra Singh, Alka Yagnik and Peenaz Masani had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

Here is the list of songs in this movie:-

SNo Song Title Lyricist Singer/s
01 Soona soona soona ghar hota hai ek naari binaa Yogesh Lata Mangeshkar, chorus
02 Prem ki hai kya sun paribhaashaa Amit Khanna Kishore Kumar
03 Ham tum rahenge akele wahaan Amit Khanna Amit Kumar, Alka Yagnik
04 Ghar mein khul ke ham nahin mil sakte Yogesh Usha Mangeshkar, Amit Kumar, Shailendra Singh, Peenaz Masani
05 Pakka jaamun todo nahin Yogesh Alka Yagnik, Peenaz Masani

In my earlier post with the song of ‘Ratnadeep-1979’ I had mentioned about Basu Chatterjee – the director of this movie – having a great ‘ear’ for music. He mostly had Rajesh Roshan as music director in his movies. They have given some of the timeless classics and unforgettable songs in Hindi Film History.

They worked together in the following eight movies:-

SNo Title of the movie Passed by Censor Board Lyricist/s Music Director
01 Swaami 17.05.1977 Amit Khanna Rajesh Roshan
02 Khattaa Meethhaa 30.12.1977 Gulzar Rajesh Roshan
03 Priyatamaa 20.09.1977 Anjaan Rajesh Roshan
04 Dillagi 18.07.1978 Yogesh Rajesh Roshan
05 Baaton Baaton Mein 31.03.1979 Amit Khanna, Yogesh Rajesh Roshan
06 Manpasand 26.06.1980 Amit Khanna Rajesh Roshan
07 Hamaari Bahu Alkaa 12.01.1982 Yogesh, Amit Khanna Rajesh Roshan
08 Prateeksha 07.04.2006 Yogesh Rajesh Roshan

(I hope I have compiled the above table correctly. Readers can point out mistakes and suggest additions if any).

Today I am presenting another ‘signature composition’ of Rajesh Roshan from themovie ‘Hamaari Bahu Alkaa-1982’. I like this song very much. It is sung by Kishore Kumar. I was longing to share this song since long on the blog.

On screen the song starts in background first and then we can see Rakesh Roshan lip-syncing the song.

Lyrics are by Amit Khanna and music is composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Enjoy this wonderful song …

Situation of the song 🙂

Our hero (Rakesh Roshan) has got married but he is still studying. So his father (Utpal Dutt) wants him to spend focus more on ‘studies’ instead of spending more time with the ‘bahu’. As usual ‘jab ghar mein nayi bahu aati hai to bete ko kaun poochhtaa hai, waise hi yahaan bhi sab log din-bhar ‘bahu’ ke peechhe pade rehte hain, aur wo thhak kar raat ko jaldi so jaati hai. So our ‘newly married’ hero cannot spend ‘quality time’ with his wife (Bindiya Goswami).

His classmate (Asrani) suggests him to bunk the classes in day time and to go home, as at that time neither his father nor his younger brother would be at home so nobody should disturb the couple during that time…

The ‘hero’ is attending a class in the ‘class room’. He laeves the class room, and then he begins to dream of this song . 🙂

With this song, the movie “Hamaari Bahu Alkaa-1982” makes its debut on the blog…

The song is a ‘distinct’ composition of a regular music director and music lovers can easily guess the name of the music director if they listen to the song. The music director in this case is Rajesh Roshan.

Rajesh Roshan has given us many memorable songs and also entertaining enjoying light music to ‘celebrate life’.

The song is from the ‘1977’ movie ‘Mama Bhanja’.

Ten years back on this day i.e. 27th November’2012 there were as many as eight songs were posted on the blog.

Hullo Atuldom

The ‘Chaturthi’ after the Amavasya of the month of Bhadrapada is the date on which we celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi or Vinayaka Chaturthi (as it is called in South India). Bhadrapada being the sixth month of the Hindu calendar, Chaturthi being the fourth day after the New Moon (Amavasya) or the Full Moon (Purnima). This year i.e. 2022 this date corresponded to 30th August of the gregorian calendar. Here I would like to say that Ganesh Chaturthi happens to be the celebration of the God’s birth.

Devotees of The Elephant-headed god, Shri Ganesha, bring home clay idols of the Lord, do pooja over one & half, three, five or ten days. People of Maharashtra, Telengana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka etc (I don’t know about other parts of the country) also bring home idols of the mother- goddess in the form of ‘Gauri’ and worship the mother & son together. A variety of prasads are offered to the Lord and people feel that some relative or family member has come over to stay with them. At the end of the festivities (depending on the period that the individual family follows) these clay idols are taken for immersion in nearby waterbodies.

There are public (Sarvajanik) groups also that have pandals (shamianas), across cities not only in India but where ever Indians stay, that install idols some of which are very tall. Normally these idols are worshipped over the full 10-day period and then taken for immersion with pomp accompanied by dance and music. This form of Sarvajanik celebration of the festival was started during India’s freedom struggle and was the brain-child of Bal Gangadhar Tilak.

All the processions are accompanied with cries of “Ganpati Bappa Morya, Pudcha Varshi Lavkar ya” meaning “Ganpati Bappa, please come again next year as soon as possible.” There is a tale about “Morya” following “Ganpati Bappa”, which I expect our knowledgeable followers/readers to throw light on.

The idols are worshipped one last time, arathis are offered, prasads are distributed before immersing in the waterbody. In big cities, we can see queues of idols awaiting their turn for immersion, there are various television channels that show the whole event live.

Today (9 september 2022) is that day when the idols are taken for immersion. Today is “Anant Chaturdashi”. After a gap of two years, thousands of devotees are on the roads, taking their idols for immersion.

On this occasion let us have a song where Madhuri Dixit is bidding Goodbye to her Ganpati Bappa. She sings in the voice of Lata Mangeshkar a song composed by Rajesh Roshan. What we see Madhuri do in the song is something that happens in many apartments i.e. placing the family’s Ganesh idol in the truck carrying a Sarvajanik Ganesh idol.

The song is from the 1993 release “Aansoo Bane Angaarey”. The movie was directed by Mehul Kumar, produced by J.K. Verma, and Indeevar, Dev Kohli & Payam Sayeedi were the songwriters. Madhuri Dixit played a double role and Jeetendra & Deepak Tijori were romantically paired opposite her. Bindu, Archana Puran Singh, Aruna Irani, Kiran Kumar, Anupam Kher, Prem Chopra, Tiku Talsania etc formed rest of the cast.

The blog completes 14 years of its existence today (19 july 2008-19 july 2022).

Blog Day :

5114 Post No. : 17061

19 July is a special day for the blog. It was on this day in 2008 that the blog went online with its first post, namely Mile na phool to kaanton se dosti kar li . That was the only post of the day, befitting the name of the blog “Atul Song A Day”. Discussing one song daily was the original idea and the blog stuck to it for 40 days. after that, the blog began to cover more than one song daily. It became “Atul Many Songs A Day”. On some occasions, as many as 12 and even 13 songs were covered in one day. Some exasperated subscribers of the blog complained that they were song lovers, but not that hardcore song lovers that they could handle one song notification in their e mail almost every hour of the day. 🙂

Acronym of the Blog name is ASAD. Depending on the places where I was based during the last 14 years, the blog could be described as ASAD Jabalpuri, ASAD Nagpuri, ASAD Bilaspuri, Asad Barelvi (or ASAD Izatnagri) and ASAD Gorakhpuri. These do not sound right-do I hear some people say that ? Now the blog is finally ASAD Bhopali. 🙂 That sounds right. 🙂 After being posted in different places in different parts of India, I retired from service last june and settled at Bhopal. So the blog from now onwards is likely to be permanently ASAD Bhopali. 🙂

ASAD by the way stands for “Lion” in Arabic. Mind you, Lion, not Tiger. Another set of “Lion” are in news these days namely the lions of Sarnath. 🙂

19 July 2008 was a saturday and unknowingly, it was on this day that the month of Saawan began. That was quite befitting and fortuitous, seeing that “Saawan” is musicaly a very important season for Hindi movie songs. This season has inspired a very large number of songs in Hindi movies.

The blog, after being a song a day blog for the first 40 days of its existence began to cover lots and lots of songs, touching its pinnacle in 2012 when 2071 songs were covered at an average of 5.66 songs every day. But we have seen decline in blog strike rate since then. Only 547 song posts appeared in 2019, at an average of just 1.5 songs a day.

Posts appear in the blog almost every day, almost without fail. Today (19 July 2018) is the 5114th day for the blog. 223 out of these 5114 days (4.3%) have been DOT days (viz days when no posts appeared). The last DOT day for the blog was on 25 december 2019 (4177th day of the blog). So the blog is at present seing a long unbroken streak of 937 days when at least one song is being covered in the blog everyday.

Consistency of effort has seen the blog clock its 17000th song recently (on 12 June 2022). With time, the blog has added new dimensions to it. From a one man show,  it became an online collaboration of limkeminded music lovers coming from various parts of the country,  and some coming from abroad as well. It is very heartening to note that our core group of contributors reflect the unity in diversity that India reprsents. And quite remarkably, the two genders are represented almost equally.

The blog has become a very important part in the lives of many in ways that we are often unaware. For instance, there was this heartwarming post by a lady who mentioned that she played the song Jyoti kalash chhalke(Bhaabhi ki choodiyaan)(1961) every morning for herself as well as her young granddaughter. On several occasions, we have had comments from people who discovered some songs in the blog many decades after they had last heard the song. We also had comments in the blog from relatives of artists who have contributed in the fields of HFM. Our regulars too have had relatives who had contributed in this field.

The blog has helped us connect with each other online as well as offline. Regulars of this blog have had many get togethers as well as one on one meetings over the years. Personally I had the good fortune to meet a few of our regulars. These meetings were extremely memorable experiences that I cherish to this date. Some of these meetings have been covered in articles appearing in the blog. Other regulars have done the same.

In the articles that we have written, we have covered lots and lots of topics,  some of them not even related to music, but they are topics of common interest to most of us. For instance, we have discussed economy, sports, unsung heroes of India, pets, history, geography etc in the blog.

We can go on and on, but let us stop here and get back to our “main” issue of interest, namely music. On this happy occasion, when the blog has completed 14 years, we already had some upbeat songs in the blog. The song under discussion is one that is bound to cheer the audience up even more.

This song is from “Yaaraana”(1981). “Yaaraana”(1981) was produced by H A Nadiadwala and directed by Rakesh Kumar. The movie had Amitabh Bachchan, Neetu Singh, Tanuja, Amjad Khan, Kader Khan, Aruna Irani, Jeevan, Ranjeet, Bharat Bhushan, Viju Khote, Lalita Pawar, Ram Sethi etc in it.

The movie had eight songs in it (including two multiple version songs). Six of these songs (including two multiple version songs) have been covered so far.

Here is this song from “Yaaraana”(1981). This song is sung by Kishore Kumar and chorus. Anjaan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Rajesh Roshan.

This song is a stage dance song, a Disco dance song in fact, that was the flavour of those days. This is one of few songs from that era, which has stood the test of time and continues to remain popular to this day.

As part of Blog celebration, here is this great song from “Yaaraana”(1981) that is guaranteed to make the day of the music lovers.

I take this opportunity to thank one and all whose continued support and encouragement is the perpetual source of energy that is driving this musical bandwagon on and on. Hoping to reach many more musical destinations and milestones in the times to come.

Blog Day :

5058 Post No. : 16972

Today 24th May’2022 is the (1 October 1919 − 24 May 2000) twenty-second ‘Remembrance Anniversary’ of legendary lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri.

On our blog more than one thousand one hundred songs penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri are already posted.

Today 24th May’2022 is sixty-seventh birth anniversary (born on 24th May’1955) of Music Director (& lyricist too) Rajesh Roshan.
As per statistics mentioned on the blog Rajesh Roshan has composed music for more than 842 songs. Out of these 842 songs, 153 songs are covered in the blog.

Majrooh Sultanpuri as a lyricist, and Rajesh Roshan as a music-director have collaborated in many movies. They have given Hindi Films many memorable compositions.

Their association started with Rajesh Roshan’s debut movie ‘Kunwaaraa Baap-1974’ and continued till ‘Kya Kehna-2000’, in between delivering many hit, popular and memorable songs.

Today we are going to listen to one such composition where the lyrics are written by Majrooh ji and music is composed by Rajesh Roshan.

The today’s song is from the movie ‘Janta Hawaldar-1979’.

“Jantaa Hawaldaar-1979” was directed by Mehmood for ‘Balaji Pictures, Bombay’.

It was produced by Manoherlal P. Chhabria and Manoher P. Jaisingh.

It had Ashok Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, Yogita Bali, Kanhaiyyalal, Shailendra, Leela Chitnis, Lalita Pawar, Dhoomal, Sunder, Mohan Choti, Coca Cola, Bhushan Tiwari, Shobhana, Narendra Nath, Shobha Khote, Mehmood and others.

Hema Malini had a ‘above all’ appearance in this movie.

Abrar Alvi was the writer of this movie. Editing of this movie was done by Vishwanath Narvekar. Story of this movie was written by Mehmood.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 10.01.1979.

Here is a brief about this movie as mentioned on ‘Wikipedia’.

Janta Havaldar (transl. The people’s Havildar) is a 1979 Indian Hindi-language film directed by Mehmood, with Rajesh Khanna playing the title role, paired opposite Yogita Bali. The film has Ashok Kumar and Hema Malini making extended guest appearances. This film was not commercially successful at the time of its release. However, over the years, the film has been appreciated by the audiences in its screening on television and has gained a cult following over the years. This movie has songs sung by a newcomer Anwar as Kishore Kumar refused to sing for the movie as it had his ex-wife Yogita Bali in the lead.

This movie has five songs (including one two-part song), all written by Majrooh Sultanpuri. Music for this movie was composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Here is the list of songs this movie has (along with their status on the blog).

SNo Song Title Singer/s Posted On
01 Age Julekha kahaan hai ri tu Mehmood, Eunuchs Yet to be posted
02 Teri aankhon ki chaahat mein Anwar Being discussed today
03 Aadhi roti saara kabaab Lata, Anwar, chorus 29.12.2018
04 Sa re ga ma pa dha ni sa …O kimaam Ali khan Usha Mangeshkar, Mehmood, chorus Yet to be posted
05 a) Hamse ka bhool huyi (part 1) Anwar 29.12.2013
05 b) Thokaren hamko qubool raah kisi ko mil jaaye (part 2) Anwar 29.12.2013

Today’s song is sung by Anwar. It is lip synced by Rajesh Khanna. Also seen in the picturization of this song is Yogita Bali. One stanza of this song is repeated as sad version (in background I presume) which is available in the audio link only.

Two well known songs from this movie have been discussed by Peevesie’s Mom ji on the blog and incidentally both were discussed on the birth anniversary of Rajesh Khanna.

Today’s song is also a well known and popular song from this movie. I think this song should be in top songs of Majrooh Sultanpuri (and for composer Rajesh Roshan too). Anwar is the singer of this soulful song. In fact, this should also be in ‘top songs’ list of songs sung by Singer Anwar.

Let us listen to the today’s song now…

Song-Teri aankhon ki chaahat mein (Janta Hawaldaar)(1979) Singer-Anwar, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-Rajesh Roshan

Lyrics

Teri aankhon ki chaahat mein
To main sab kuchh luta doongaa
Teri aankhon ki chaahat mein
To main sab kuchh luta doongaa
Mohabbat kaise ki jaati
Mohabbat kaise ki jaati
Hai duniyaa ko dikhaa doongaa
Teri aankhon ki chaahat mein

Tere naazuk haseen kadmon ke
Neeche hamsafar mere
Are o hamsafar mere
Jahaan hogaa koi kaanta
Jahaan hogaa koi kaanta
Wahaan main dil bichha doongaa
Teri aankhon ki chaahat mein

Tammannaa hai ke raushan ho
Teri duniyaa teri mehfil
Tammannaa hai ke raushan ho
Teri duniyaa teri mehfil
Teri duniyaa teri mehfil
Ujaalaa mil sake tujhko
Ujaalaa mil sake tujhko
To main ghar bhi jalaa doongaa
Teri aankhon ki chaahat mein

Bahaaraan cheez kyaa hai phool
Kaliyaan kisko kehte hain
Ke kaliyaan kisko kehte hain
Lahoo meraa salaamat main
Lahoo meraa salaamat main
Teraa jeevan sajaa doonga
Teri aankhon ki chaahat mein
To main sab kuchh luta doongaa
Mohabbat kaise ki jaati
Mohabbat kaise ki jaati
Hai duniyaa ko dikhaa doongaa
Teri aankhon ki chaahat mein

(In audio the following lines of the third stanza are repeated as sad version)

Bahaaraan cheez kyaa hain phool
Kaliyaan kisko kehte hain
Ke kaliyaan kisko kehte hain
Lahoo meraa salaamat main
Lahoo meraa salaamat main
Teraa jeevan sajaa doonga

तेरी आँखों की चाहत में

Blog Day :

Hullo Atuldom

26th Ocotober is a day when we wish the first Follower of the blog Rajaji on turning a year younger. He is the ‘yaaron-ka-yaar’ who is currently off the radar. Hope he marks his presence on the blog and reads this post. He is not a kanjoos (and I have a whole set of the followers of the blog who will endorse my statement) and will not shy away from giving us a treat by saying a “Hello”. Actually, I sincerely hope he is fine, the last post by him, as a guest contributor, was on 8th March 2021- for the birth centenary of his favourite lyricist/ poet Sahir Ludhianvi.

Our Rajaji was one of the first to see posts on Atulsongaday. One of the first to post his Farmaish to Atulji. And if I am not wrong, one of the first guest contributors as lyrics contributor in April 2009 with this post of a song from ‘Bin Baadal Barsaat’ . His first full-length post was Teri umar naadaan hai on 26 june 2010 from “Aankhon Aankhon Mein”(1972) and since then he has been a regular contributor and loves to write about Rajesh Khanna, Mohd. Rafi, Kishore Kumar and of course Sahir Ludhianvi. In the interim he has also written posts on some artistes whose work he appreciates. Here is wishing this friendly Atulite all health and happiness and waiting for his next post- essay, novel or short story anything but in your unique style Rajaji.

26th October also happens to be the birth date of an actress (don’t like to use the adjective yesteryear for this one, too young for that) who was known to be cast in the roles of typical heroine i.e. one emotional scene, two haughty scenes, three or four duets or solos and that is about it. There is a period in every actress’s career when she reaches the top-spot doing this kind of inane roles. Then she tires of it and tries to break the shackles and get cast in some roles that gives her chance to show her emoting and acting capabilities.

Today’s birthday girl made her Bollywood debut as Salman Khan’s heroine in ‘Patthar Ke Phool’ went on to co-star with all the biggies of that era and reaching heights of popularity as the ‘mast mast’ girl in ‘Mohra’ She was ready to give it all up sometime in 1995 for the sake of family and marriage. But when things didn’t work out the way she expected them to, she made a successful comeback with movies opposite Govinda which were from the David Dhawan stable. She played meaningful or non-glamourous characters in movies like “Shool” (1999) “Daman” (2002) “Satta” (2005) and “Jaago” in 2004 where she played the mother of a ten-year-old gang-rape-victim who dies in front of her.
Do I need mention the name of the actress- Raveena Tandon? She finally took a hiatus from acting after marriage and kids (as per her original plan for life) and has four children two of whom she adopted when the girls were 11 and 8 and she herself was only 21.

I may not call myself her fan but I like this actress for her sprightly acting, Today’s song is from the 1997 crime -drama “Ghulam-e-Mustafa” which was directed by Partho Ghosh and had a cast headed by Nana Patekar and Raveena Tandon played a night club dancer who falls in love with Mustafa (Nana Patekar) on hearing his life story. They even get married and have a happy life, which is short lived as Kavitha (Raveena) gets killed in a car bomb explosion which was meant for Abba (Paresh Rawal). The cast also included Ravi Behl, Aruna Irani, Keerthi Chawla, Shivaji Satam, Sulabha Deshpande, Mohan Joshi, Mohnish Bahl etc. Rajesh Roshan and Amar Haldipur were the music directors, and the song with this post has been credited to Anand Bakshi. Myswar.com says that Amar Haldipur was responsible for the background score.

This songs sees our birthday girl Raveena Tandon as a new bride out for a joy trip when their Gypsy breaks down, of course I need not explain the visuals of the song and will just say that she dies after this.

I would also like to wish the daughter of an Atulite on her birthday today. Hope this message is conveyed to your little girl and wish her all the best for her future.
Once more wishing all the best and happy birthday to our Rajaji, the little one of our Atulite and Raveena Tandon.

Blog Day :

4757 Post No. : 16500 Movie Count :

4483

Slowly, steadily, and unnoticeably, the blog reaches yet another blog century. This post is post number 16500 for the blog. In other words, this song is the 165th century post for the blog.

When I thought about writing an article to go with post, I considered going through all the previous century posts. I kept going backwards from 164th century post, 163rd century post. After ten such posts, I gave up. If someone thinks that 164 songs and 164 song articles is a small number, then please try to do that exercise yourself. If one has to make a playlist of these century songs, the entire playlist will play for more than eight hours !

If that is the case for 164 of the choicest songs in the blog, then just imgine how many hours of music the entire blog contains. The blog has been going on at the rate of 3.5 songs a day for 4756 days. Assuming that these three and half songs a day are 12 minutes long then 12 minutes equals 0.2 hours of song every day. Multiply it with 4756. We get 951 hours of song in the blog. 951 hours means 40 days of non stop music if one plays it 24 hours a day without a break.

No normal human being will be able to do it, of course. If a normal music lover decides to savour music from the blog for just one hour a day, then he will have enough masala in the blog to last 951 days, viz 2 years and 8 months. During these 951 days, the blog would add another 195 hours of music, of course. 🙂

I think, some of our regulars have tried it. They should share their experiences with us. Since I post the articles and listen to the song myself, and that too more than once, I must have heard these songs for say 2000 hours already, but in a manner that did not burden me. Rather I must have enjoyed the experience, seeing that I am still at it, after more than 13 years.

The blog completed its 13th birthday recently, on 19 July 2021. Four articles were posted on the occasions. One was a Lata Mangeshkar yearwise songs series, which has been appearing every monday in the blog for the last 45 mondays. Other three articles, by three different regulars, were blog birthday celebration posts. My Lata Mangeshkar song series takes so much time out of me that it does not leave me time for any other article on mondays from me. That is why I could not post any special blog birthday articles. So I decisded to use this century post as century post cum belated blog birthday celebrating writeup. 🙂

As is usual now a days, our century posts are low key affairs. Our regulars do not seem to wait eagerly for them unlike in the past. Even the post writer leaves it till the last moment before he wakes up and starts to look desperately for a song appropriate for the occasion. Surprisingly, despite of such negligence, we always manage to find songs that are eminently suitable for the occasion.

Most of the blog century posts are from the golden era. The blog itself mainly covers songs from that era. But we have songs (including blog century songs) from pre golden era (before 1949) and also songs from post golden era (songs released after 1980).

It is popularly believed that the golden era of HFM was over after 1980. Even then, we continued to get some wonderful songs in HFM. Quite a few songs after 1980 have figured in the blog as blog century songs. Here are their details:

Blog post number Date (Blog day number) Song Movie (Year) Remarks
4100 30 june 2011 (1077) Aisa lage kahin door se Trishaagni (1988)
9800 1 May 2014(2113) Maine tumse kuchh nahin maanga Katha (1983)
13500 3 August 2017(3303) Ye paisa bolta hai Kaala Baazaar (1989)
15200 4 September 2019 (4065) Dil mein Mars hai Mission Mangal (2019) Newest century song in the blog
15500 27 March 2020(4270) Uljhan ho chaahe koi Chambal Ke Daaku (1982) One of the rarest songs
15600 11 May 2020 (4315) Goriya uski deewaani Aag Ka Darya (1990)
16100 15 December 2020 (4533) Hai ye kaisa nasha Chorni (1981)

One can see that as many as six songs from the decade of 1980s have figured i the blog as Blog century posts. But the newest song that has figured as the blog century post is from 2019. This song from Mission Mangal”(2019) became a century post in 2019, viz in the same year when this movie and its songs were released. That is one big surprise for most blog regulars. Even I , who presented the article, was surprised. I had myself forgoten about the fact that I had done something like this, and that too less than two years ago. 🙂

Songs that figure in the blog as blog century songs are special songs in one way or the other. And the speciality varies from one song to another.

The song under discussion is a song that was reasonably popular when the movie was released. The movie was forgotten with time and even this song seemingly went away. There are some songs, that get a second wind for some reasons and this time they become far far popular than what they were the first time round.

I can give quite a few such examples. Here are some examples:

April fool banaya(April fool) was a reasonably popular song of its time that got forgotten with time. In 1983 this song got reived when it was used in an important scene in “Andha Kaanoon”(1983).

Ek chatur naar(Padosan)(1968) was hardly popular during the first run of the movie. It is only after 1980s that this song has become an extremely popular song and it seems to have become more popular and this popularity is here to stay.

Main teri dushman dushman tu meri main naagan to sapera (Nagina) had run its course and had been forgotten. The song earned huge popularity in march 2018, thanks to reasons that had nothing to do be music and Indians. Non Indians popularised this song thanks to their childish pranks on the field of cricket. My writeup on this song described the funny episode leading to the revival of this song in this article.

The song under discussion got its second wind thanks to dance competion shows that have become popular on Indian TV. On these dance songs, ordinary folks dance on some olf Hindi film dance songs. In one episode one middle aged man, Sanjeev Sriastava (a ka Dabbu Uncle) performed dance on stage on this song alongwith his wife and took the TV audience by storm. Even Govinda, who originally danced on this song found Dabbu Uncle’s dance cute. This song was performed on screen by Govinda and Neelam. On a dance show, both of them were invited as judges. This song had earned such popularity by then that the two of then were asked to come on stage and dance on the song, three decades after they had originally danced on this song on screen. And they obliged.

And here is Dabbu uncle getting to perform with Govinda himself.

It goes without saying that this is one song that has been repopularised by an ordinary man. That is the power of an ordinar man. 🙂

The movie the song belonged to was “Khudgarz”(1987). The movie was produced and directed by Rakesh Roshan for Fimkraft, Bombay. The movie had Jeetendra, Shatrughan Sinha, Govinda, Bhanupriya, Amrita Singh, Neelam Kothari, Kadar Khan, Kiran Kumar, Saeed Jaffrey, Sudhir Dalvi,Sushma Seth, Praveen Kumar, Sangeeta Naik, Ghanshyam, Dinesh Hingoo, Satyen Kapoo, Mac Mohan, Master Javed Hyder etc in it. Rishi Kapoor and Abhi Bhattacharya had figured in guest appearances in the movie.

The movie was based on the story “Kane and Abel” penned by Jeffrey Archer without acknowedgement. Jeffrey Archer accused the maker of plagiarising his intellectual right without paying for it. It was the first time that a movie produced by Rakesh Roshan hit the jackpot at the box office. The movie was subsequently made in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Odia etc as well.

Here is this song from “Khudgarz”(1987). It is sung by Md Aziz and Sadhana Sargam. Indeewar is the lyricist. Music is composed by Rajesh Roshan.
Since it is the dance on the song that has repopularised the song, I was curous to know who was the dance master. I had to watch the movie for a few mintes, till the first song appeared on screen, accompanied by credits. According to credits Dances are choreographed by Suresh Bhatt. His assistants were Aruna and Sujata.

Here is this fantastic song. It is a song that has to be savoured by watching its video. The song, and its picturisation has earned enormous popularity on YT channels which was hardly the case a few years ago.

The movie makes its debut in the blog with this song.

With this song, the blog now had 16500 song posts in it. I take this opportunity to thank one and all whose continuous support and encouragement keeps fuelling this labour of love musical bandwagon. Like the lyrics of this song, eve for us in the blog “dil bahalta hai mera aapke (is blog pe) aa jaane se”. Keep visiting, keep commenting, and keep supporting us with your encouragement. We still have lots and lots of musical gems to discover and savour.

Jannat ki bahaaron se na pariyon ke
muskuraane se
Dil behalta hai mera
aapke aa jaane se
Aapke aa jaane se
Aapke aa jaane se
Aapke aa jaane se
Aapke aa jaane se

Ek din main bhi gayi thhi
Jauhari bazaar mein

ru ru ru ru ru ru
ru ru
ru ru ru
ru ru ru ru ru ru
ru ru

Ek din main bhi gayi thi
Jauhari bazaar mein
Teri aankhein yaad aayin
Heeron ke bhi haar mein
Moti se na heeron se na jewar se
Moti se na heeron se na jewar se
Na kisi khazaane se
Dil behalta hai mera
aapke aa jaane se
Aapke aa jaane se
Aapke aa jaane se
Aapke aa jaane se
Aapke aa jaane se

Mai se meena se na saaqi se
Mai se meena se na saaqi se
Na paimaane se
Dil behalta hai mera
aapke aa jaane se
Aapke aa jaane se
Aapke aa jaane se
Aapke aa jaane se
Aapke aa jaane se

It can be seen from the table of 1988 that Lata Mangeshkar sang 43 songs in 21 movies released in 1988. So she made a recovery of sorts after singing the lowest number of songs in a year in 1987 (just 21).

7 songs sung by Lata Mangeshkar in movies of 1988 have been covered in the blog. That leaves us with 36 songs from movies of 1988 that are yet to be covered.

All Lata Mangeshkar songs of one movie of 1998, namely “Libaas”(1988) have been covered. So 36 Lata Mangeshkar songs from 20 movies of 1988 are still available for discussion in the blog.

Alphabetically “Dharam Yudhh”(1988) is the first movie of 1988 that offers us a Lata Mangeshkar song to be covered in the blog.

“Dharam Yudhh”(1988) was produced by Pawan Kumar (Secretary of Shatrughan Sinha) and directed by Sudarshan Nag for Amiya’s Bombay. The movie had Sunil Dutt, Shatrughan Sinha, Kimi Katkar, Aditya Pancholi, Suresh Oberoi, Saaniya, Sushma Sheth, Anjana Mumtaz, Ranjeet, Pran, Lalita Kumari(Sinha),Sunil Dhawan, Umesh Khanna, Rajesh Nigam, Prakash Johri, Anurag Sharma, Disco Shanti etc in it. This movie was a remake of Pakistani Punjaabi movie “Wadera”(1985).

“Dharam Yudhh”(1988) had six songs in it. It had one multiple version song which was sung by Lata Maneshkar. Here is that song. This bhai bahan song has two versions (happy and sad). Both are sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Kulwant Jani is the lyricist. Music is composed by Rajesh Roshan.

The happy version is picturised on Saania aka Saniya and Shatrughan Sinha in happier times with Shatrughan Sinha hoping to perform bidaai of his sister. The sad version shows the sister lying dead and it is her arthi instead of doli that is being carried ! One can also see Sunil Dutt, Lalita Kumari Sinha and Kimmi Katkar in the picturisation.

Lyrics of the song and other details were sent by Prakashchandra.

ith this song, “Dharam Yudhh”(1988) makes its debut in the blog.

Blog Day :

4700 Post No. : 16398 Movie Count :

Rajesh Roshan, who celebrated his sixthsixth birthday last week (DoB 24 may 1955) had made his debut in Hindi movies as a music director with the ‘1974’ movie ‘Kunwaara Baap’. Thereafter he scored some nice music in his movies in his long career.

One year after his debut, he won the ‘Filmfare Award’ for ‘best music’ for the movie ‘Julie-1975’. He won his second filmfare award twenty-five years later, the movie ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai-2000’.
In between he was nominated for ‘Filmfare Award for Best Music Director’ for the movies ‘Swami-1977’, ‘Des Pardes-1978’, ‘Mr. Natwarlal-1979’, ‘Kaalaa Patthar-1979’, ‘Khoon Bhari Maang-1988’, ‘Karan Arjun-1995’, ‘Papa Kehte Hain-1996’, and ‘Koi Mil Gayaa-2003’.

‘Kaabil-2017’ was the recent movie where he scored the music.

I have already written a post here about the music of Rajesh Roshan and my nostalgic memories about the songs he created, so I will not repeat the same things here.

Today I present presenting a song from the movie ‘Ek Hi Raastaa-1977’. Incidentally this will be the third song in a row from this movie that I will be covering.

‘Ek Hi Raastaa-1977’ was a ‘Uma Cine Films’, Bombay presentation. It was a ‘social-family drama’ movie. It was produced and directed by Mohan Sehgal and its star-cast included Jeetendra, Shabana Azmi, Vinod Mehra, Asha Sachdev, Utpal Dutt, Roohi, Indrani Mukherji, Krishan Dhawan, Jagdeep, Om Shivpuri, Meena Rai, Maruti, C.S. Dubey, Chandrima Bhaduri, Jankidas, Umrani, Mahapatra, Polsan, Pardesi, O.P. Kohli, Master Indrajeet, Satyarani, Viraj Kumar, Bhola, Master Babu and Master Asif.

It had total five songs penned by Verma Malik and music of this film was composed by Rajesh Roshan (assisted by Gyan, Kishore, and Nirmal).

As per the information available, so far, there have been four films made with this title ‘Ek Hi Raasta’ in 1939, 1956, 1977 and 1993.

I would request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs.

I have not watched this movie so cannot say much about it.

List of songs – ‘Ek Hi Raasta-1977’ as per HFGK (1971-1980) Vol-V; (in order of appearance in the Geetkosh)

S. No. Song Title Singer/s Posted on
01 Akalmand ko ishaara… itni jaldi kahaan jaate ho Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar
02 Dil ko mila lo dil ko takra lo… I like what you are saying Asha Bhonsle, Amit Kumar, chorus

04 Tumse nahin pehchaan meri … Mohd Rafi 30.10.2020
05 Bin saathi ke jeewan kya Kishore Kumar, Anuradha Paudwal 17.08.2015

So far, two songs from this movie ‘Ek Hi Raasta-1977’ have been posted on the blog.

Today’s song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar. It is lip synced on screen by Shabana Azmi. A partial video of this song was available when I had initially shared this song. But now only the audio of this song is available.

Lyrics for today’s song are by Verma Malik. Music is composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Let us now enjoy today’s song, which when you start humming while listening, may take you to ‘pal bhar mein ye kya ho gayaa’ …. 😊
