‘Unnees Bees’ (1980) was produced by V R Parameshwaram and was directed by Swaroop Kumar. The cast included Rakesh Roshan, Ranjeeta Kaur, Mithun Chakraborty, Yogeeta Bali, Kadar Khan. Reeta Bhaduri, Ranjeet, Urmila Bhat, Jayshree T, Jeevan, Bharat Bhushan, Raj Mehra, Ram Sethi etc. Sujit Kumar made the guest appearance in the film. Both the producer and the director debuted with this film.

The interesting point about casting of the film is that this is Yogita Bali’s second film with Mithun Chakraborty who probably married him during the making of the film. Ranjeeta Kaur and Mithun Chakraborty have worked together in as many as 21 films. They were very popular pairs of the 1980s. But in this film, Ranjeeta Kaur was paired with Rakesh Roshan.

Ranjeeta Kaur is one of the few female actors in Hindi films whose filmy career galloped with her very first film, ‘Laila Majnu’ (1976). For this film, director, H S Rawail had signed her when she was still in FTII. The shooting of the film was to commence after the completion of her acting course. In the intervening period, a few good wishers of Rawail advised him not to take risk with a newcomer for such a big film. However, Rawail was confident about his selection. To be on the safe side, Rawail sent Ranjeeta’s photograph to the film’s lead actor, Rishi Kapoor, with a cryptic note that he had already made his choice to cast her. Rishi Kapoor did not respond which meant that he had no objection to his selection.

‘Ankhiyaon Ke Jharokhon Se’ (1978) was Ranjeeta’s second film which also became a super hit. Originally, Sarika was signed for the film. However, due to some problems, she withdrew from the film. Tarachand Barjatya then signed Ranjeeta for the lead role. Once again, there were few who suggested to Tarachand Barjatya to change the lead actress with their own suggestions. However, he was adamant in retaining her in the film. These two trivia show how luck factors play an important role for a newcomer. (Both these trivia were revealed by Ranjeeta during her interview which appeared on the Times of India, 13/09/1920).

Ranjeeta Kaur was born in Patiala on 22/09/1956 in a Sikh family. Her father was a bureaucrat in Government while her mother was housewife. After completion of schooling in Shimla she enrolled in Film and Television Institute of India, Pune in the acting course. In the last year in FTII, she was selected by H S Rawail as a lead actress for ‘Laila Majnu’ (1976).

The super success of her first two films with tragic love stories made her a super star. During her first 10 years of Hindi film career, Ranjeeta worked in as many films as 54 films. However, between 1986 and 1990, 11 films of her were released most of which turns out to be flop films. In those days, in the film magazines, there used to be some gossip and rumours about Ranjeeta. One of the rumours was that after the successive failures of her few films on the box office in the second half of the 1980s, she was not in her good frame of mind. As a result, there has been some instances of problems faced by her films’ producers and directors. Another reason for her downfall, based on her filmography, could be that she signed some films with supporting roles/second lead. Probably, this may have prompted the producers not to take her on lead roles. It appears that Ranjeeta could not manage her sudden stardom to her advantage.

With her filmy career not picking up, Ranjeeta tried in TV serials. But she did not like the long and erratic hours of shooting scheduled associated with TV serials. In 1990, she decided to give up her filmy career and married a businessman, Raj Masand in December 1990 who had business interest in the Caribbean Islands. Post-marriage, Ranjeeta shifted to Pune bidding good bye to Hindi films. In Pune she worked in an International School as Public Relation Officer. After a gap of 15 years, Ranjeeta worked in three Hindi films, ‘Anjaane’ (2005), ‘Zindagi Tere Naam’ (2008). and

‘Jaane Pehchaane’ (2011). The last one was a remake of her superhit film, ‘Akhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se’ (1978). None of the films made to the list of box office sucess.

In 2007, Ranjeeta and her husband shifted to USA (Virginia) after her son got admission in a University. They opened a chain of stores around Norfolk, taking franchise of 7-Elevn stores. After the completion of her son’s education, he also joined in his father’s business. In 2015, the family shifted back to India and settled in Pune’s Koregaon Park. (Note: The life sketch of Ranjeeta is mainly based on her interview referred to above).

‘Unnees Bees’ (1980) is the typical Hindi films based on successfully tested ‘Lost and Found’ story. While many Hindi films on this formula turned out to be box office success, like ‘Waqt’ (1965), ‘Johny Mera Naam’ (1970), Yaadon Ki Baarat’ (1973), ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ (1977) etc, the film under discussion failed at the box office. Probably, the film’s writer, Kadar Khan may have convinced with statistics that the film based on ‘lost and found’ story is a winning formula as can be judged by the success of the film listed above. The debutant producer and director seem to believe in him. The ‘lost and found’ story of the film moves on an expected line. The gist of the story is as under:

After the death of the Shanti, a widow, her three children (2 brothers and a sister) get separated. Dev (Rakesh Roshan) is brought up by the smuggler Singh (Ranjeet), Jai is brought up by a pathan, Yakub Khan (Kadar Khan) but works for criminal Madan (Jeevan). Sister, Aarti (Reeta Bhaduri) has been brought up by a church priest.

After many years, Both Dev and Jai face each other for the first time when Aarti is molested by a gang of criminals. The gang is beaten by both Jai and Dev and Aarti is set free. Both have a sisterly affection for Aarti and assure her that they would be there to protect her. Afterwards, both Jai and Dev go their own way without knowing that one day Jai would be given the task to eliminate Dev by Madan. They do meet at the terrace of the house where Aarti stays and fight to get the information from Dev about the keys to the sumggled goods. One of themd would have got killed but the timely intervention of Aarti who send them out.

Jai has a soft corner for Annu (Yogita Bali) to whom he had saved the clutches of moestation from Singh’s hencemen. Dev falls in love with Kamal (Ranjeeta) who initially feels that Dev is more interested in her wealth than her. After the initial mistrust about Dev, Kamal falls in love with her. But between his love for Kamal and the task given by Singh to procure diamond necklace from her put Dev in a fix. Finally, Dev decides to leave the smuggling work for Singh and Jai decides not to work for Madan. A chance meeting of Jai with Kaka (Raj Mehra) who knows the background under which both brothers and sisters were separated, creates the prospect of a reunion as he now knows that Dev is his lost brother and Aarti is his lost sister.

But before their reunion, Dev and Jai are on the target of their respective bosses. Dev along with his sister, Aarti is abducted by Singh’s henchmen. Jai finds out the hideout and release both Dev and Aarti. Now it is turn of Jai who is surrounded by the henchmen of Madan. Finally, Dev joins Jai and after a long fight, Dev and Jai emerge victorious. Police enforcements arrive on the scene and arrests the henchmen and bosses. Dev and Jai are united with their sister, Aarti, Kamal and Annu.

The film had 5 songs written by Amit Khanna which were set to music by Rajesh Roshan. Udit Narayan made debut as a playback singer in this film when he sang ‘mil gaya mil gaya’ with Mohammed Rafi and Usha Mangeshkar. However, I am presenting a different song, ‘naaraazgi ye aap ki hamen jeene na degi’, the first from the film to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Suman Kalyanpur and Mohammed Rafi which is picturised on Ranjeeta and Rakesh Roshan. The composition of song sounds like that of the 1960s’ style.

The background to the song is that Dev (Rakesh Roshan) who is in love with Kamal (Ranjeeta), has been annoyed by Kamal who says that he loves her for her money because she is wealthy. Dev gets angry and retorts her by saying that her eyes are covered by the veils of the ego of wealth. The day she sees him as a woman with clear eyes, then only she should meet him. Kamal does meet him in a sea-side restaurant but he walks away from her towards the beach when this song starts. It is a song of appeasement to the beloved and she is successful in winning him back.

Hullo Atuldom

A very very Happy Birthday to the Eighth Avatar of Lord Vishnu – Shree Krishna. He also goes by the names- Kaanha, Nandlala, Gopala, Govinda, Kanhaiya, Guruvayurappa, Dwarikadheesh, Mohan, Giridhar, Jagannath, Chakradhar, Kannan, Srinathji, Vithoba, Parthasarthy, Radha Vallabh, Gopi Krishna etc. The names are all due to the various legends associated with the Lord during his stay on this earth as the Eighth Avatar. Some of the names of the Lord hold regional importance.

Shree Krishna is the God of protection, compassion, tenderness, love etc. and is one of the most popular divinities. I wouldn’t be wrong if I say that Shree Ganesha is the other popular divinity. Shree Krishna’s iconography reflects these legends, and shows him in different stages of his life, such as an infant eating butter (Maakhan Chor) , a young boy playing a flute (Murlidhar), a young boy with Radha (Radha Vallabh) or surrounded by female devotees (Gopi Krishna), or a friendly charioteer giving counsel to Arjuna (Parthasarthy).

Indian music – both classical & non classical – has numerous songs bhajans etc. that sing praises of the Lord, ask favors from the Lord etc. Some of them have found their way into dance ballets, theater etc. Then will the film industry remain devoid of songs praising the lord. Remember “Bada Natkhat Hai Re Krishna Kanhaiya“, “Govinda Aala Re Aala“, “He Re Kanhaiya Kisko Kahega Tu Maiyya“, “Mohe Panghat Pe Nandlal Chhed Gayo Re“and many more that have been present in films right from the start of Indian talkies.

Today’s song is from the 1970 release ‘Ghar Ghar Ki Kahaani’. It was directed by T Prakash Rao and produced by B Nagi Reddy & Chakrapani. It had songs written by Rajendra Krishan, Hasrat Jaipuri & Qamar Jalalabadi and composed by Kalyanji Anandji. Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Hemlata, and Mahendra Kapoor were the playback singers used. Balraj Sahni & Nirupa Roy played central characters as parents to Master Ripple, Baby Sonia & Master Mahesh. Gajanan Jagirdar, Sulochana Chatterjee, Maruti, Jagdeep, Shabnam, Praveen Paul, Jalal Agha etc. with Junior Mehmood formed the rest of the cast. Shashikala & Om Prakash were there in special appearances. Any Indian movie, whatever be the main plot, need a young romantic couple – Bharati & Rakesh Roshan were that couple.

The situation for today’s song is that the marriage of the young couple is being fixed. The bride-to-be is requested to sing some song and showcase her talent. Now she cannot sing the feelings of her heart directly to her lover in the presence of elders so she resorts to singing a song praising ‘Kaanha’. The song enters fantasy mode and we have Bharathi & Rakesh Roshan turning into Radha & Krishna.

We can also use this opportunity to wish Rakesh Roshan on his birthday today. He was born on 6th September 1949. He is the son of yesteryear music director Roshan, brother of present day music director Rajesh Roshan and father of Hrithik Roshan. He is an actor and filmmaker associated with many successful Hindi films most of which have titles starting with the letter ‘K’. ‘Ghar Ghar Ki Kahaani’ was his debut film, he looks very very young and vulnerable in this song. He must have been only 20 when he shot for this song.

#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 Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————
(Birth Anniversary – Maya Govind – A tribute)

Today 17th January’2023 is the eighty-third birth anniversary of poet lyricist Maya Govind.
She was born on 17th January’1940 and she passed away last year on 06th April’2022 at the age of eighty-two.

I had in my earlier post last year mentioned about her in detail. This post had come in the month of February’2022 last year. Two months later, we had the news of her sad demise.

Today as we pay our tributes to her. I am reproducing the same text here which is about her biographical details and journey into films.

Maya Govind is said to have challenged the male dominance in the lyrics writing in movies and had established a distinguished place for her in lyrics writing in Hindi movies.

Maya Govind was born on 17th January’1940 in Lucknow. Her father (Harnath Vahal) was a cloth merchant in Lucknow. Maya Govind and her two younger sisters were the three siblings When Maya Govind was still a child her father lost his eyesight. His wife – Maya Govind’s mother – was a housewife, and all his children were small kids. So, all his shops and slowly his house too was taken over by his relatives. That forced her mother to take shelter in a rented house.

When Maya Govind was only five years old, she lost her father which left the family in bad economic condition. In this situation her maternal uncle helped them to survive and to get education to the children. Maya Govind was the eldest among the three sisters. She completed her B.A. and B’ Ed.

Maya Govind got married while she was in her first year of B’ Ed. However, her marriage didn’t last long, and she returned to her mother within three months of her marriage. She continued doing B’ Ed and joined a four-year course in ‘Bhatkhande Sangeet Vidyalaya’. She also learned ‘Kathhak’ from Shambhu Maharaj. She did plays for Radio in Lucknow. Later she started teaching at Bal Vidya Mandir Lucknow. During this she keep doing acting in plays and joined the famous stage artist Kunwar Kalyan Singh.

She had been writing poetry since she was eleven years old. Once when Bharat Bhushan and his brother producer Ramesh Chandra (better known as R. Chandra) spotted her during their visit to her school and impressed by her poetry R. Chandra asked her to visit Bombay. That was in 1966.
R. Chandra offered her three movies to write lyrics for (these were ‘Mushaira’, ‘Megh Malhar’, and ‘Baap Bete’). She wrote eleven songs for ‘Mushaira’ and returned to Lucknow. Suddenly R. Chandra died in between, and only two songs were recorded then under the baton of Music Director Khayyam. (Later R. Chandra’s son Rakesh Chandra included these two songs in the movie ‘Muthhi Bhar Chawal’ in ‘1975’.)

In 1965-66 Govind Arora (alias Ram Govind)- a famous writer and stage personality – came to Lucknow from Samastipur, Bihar to look artistes for his plays. Maya Govind was offered the lead role. During this association they become close friends and got married in 1967. Ram Govind too got settled in Lucknow. Both founded the ‘Darpan Naatya Sanstha’ in Lucknow.

In 1972 Maya Govind came to Bombay to participate in a ‘Kavi Sammelan’ where one among the audience was the famous producer director Ramanand Sagar. Impressed by her poetry he signed Maya Govind for lyrics writing for his movie ‘Jalte Badan’ which was released in 1973. In this movie she wrote all the lyrics for all the four songs in the movie. Around the same time, she came into contact with Guru Dutt’s brother Atmaram who was making the movie ‘Aarop-1974’ then. He offered her lyrics writing for this movie. Music for this movie was composed by the legendary Bhupen Hazarika. The song ‘nainon mein darpan hai’ got popular from this movie.

During this time famous producer Tarachand Badjatya recorded three poems of Maya Govind for a private album. Tarachand Badjatya also offered her to perform in his movie titled ‘Kavi Sammelan-1972’.
In 1988 Maya Govind set up her own production house- ‘Bahar Productions’ which produced ‘Tohfa Mohabbat ka’ which was not a commercial success and later she launched movie ‘Taandav’ which was shelved after shooting of 13 reels due to financial problems. Her recent movie as lyricist was ‘Baazar-E-Husn’ under Khayyam Saab.

Today as a tribute to Maya Govind we are going to listen to a beautiful song written by her from the movie ‘Baawri-1982’.

“Baawri-1982” was directed by A.C. Trilokchander for ‘G.G.K. Enterprises’. It was produced by G. Gopalkrishnan.

‘Baawri’ had the star cast of Raeksh Roshan, Jayaprada (in title role), Dr. Shreeram Lagoo, Nirupa Roy, Asrani, Seema Deo, Kamal Deep, Sunil Dhawan, P. Joshi, A. Shakuntala, Yogeeta Bali and others.

This movie introduced Vikrant Dutt.

‘Baawri’ has six songs written by Maya Govind and they were composed by Khayyam Saab.

Maya Govind and Khayyam had collaborated in the following films.

1. Mutthi Bhar Chawal(1975) 02 songs

Not many songs. I wish they could have collaborated more so that we would have got many memorable songs to cherish.

Today’s song from ‘Baawri-1982’ is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Yesudas. It is a very nice song with equally beautiful poetry, singing and composition. I like this song very much.

Lyrics for this song were sent by Prakashchandra.

Earlier one song from this movie has been posted on the blog long back in 2012. This song also is another wonderful divine composition by Khayyam Saab with pure verses by Maya Govind.

Let us listen to today’s song and pay our tributes to Maya Govind. This song is performed on screen by Rakesh Roshan and Jayaprada having some illuminating locations and illuminating performance (?) 🙂

chandramaa nikley ab yaa naa aa nikley ae
ab charaagon ka koyi kaam nahin ee
tere chehre se chaandni si hai
tere nainon se raushni si hai

Hullo Atuldom

Getting straight to the point.

There is an actress who made her debut in Hindi Films in 1970, though she signed her first film in 1968 itself. That first movie released much later in 1979 and promptly tanked. But we are not here to speak about the tanked film.

This actress had her initiation into the film-world as a child itself when she played a small role in a Telugu language drama as a one-year old (that movie released in 1958). At her mother’s behest, she dropped out of school (when in class 9) to start a full-time career in acting to support her family. Her first released film as lead actress was in Kannada (in 1969) opposite the Kannada superstar Dr. Rajkumar.

Coming back to her career in Hindi films, her first release was accepted by the audiences though she herself looked a little clumsy. It was revealed in later years that the clumsiness was because of not being fluent in Hindi (language) and not being able to express her discomfort in the outfits and accessories that she was made to wear. But she sportingly sported any outfit she was made to wear in her initial years even if it earned her the tag of “ugly duckling” etc. (I recall reading this in one of the magazines in my growing up years) But then she mastered the art of makeup and looked amazing, gorgeously beautiful and became a style icon for subsequent generations – of course all this happened post 1978.

In the early ’70s, she was cast in movies opposite actors who were in the waning phase of their careers. Possibly the only actors of her times (I would not say age-group) were people like Vinod Mehra, Rakesh Roshan, Jeetendra, Navin Nischol, Randhir Kapoor etc. She was accepted with whichever hero she was cast opposite. Movies with Rajesh Khanna, Sanjeev Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha, Vinod Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan came a few years later. Still later in her career, after she became a name to reckon with, we have seen her opposite even Kabir Bedi, Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Amol Palekar, Farooq Sheikh, Raj Babbar and Mithun Chakravarthy. (I am sure I am missing the names of a few male actors). Aaah! I missed Shashi Kapoor and Dharmendra- she looked good with all of them. And finally in the ’90s, even Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, and Southern superstars Kamal Hassan (in a Tamil film) and Rajnikanth played her male leads.

In her initial years as an actress (I have seen some of those movies thanks to satellite television) we could actually see her mimicking actress of her times and those before her times. I have felt that she has aped Jaya Bhadhuri, Mumtaz, Meena Kumari and even Yogita Bali (who was her co-star in some films) and was fairly good at it.

She has been nominated for the Filmfare Award 13 times and has won it 3 times – once as best actress and twice as best supporting actress. She was awarded the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement award in 2003. In addition to awards from the film fraternity she has been a National Award for Best Actress winner in 1982. Plus, she is a Padma Shri winner. She was a nominated member of India’s Rajya Sabha from 2012 to 2018.

She was a favourite of many of her co-stars too and when they ventured into film making she readily accepted whatever role they offered her- remember Shashi Kapoor’s ‘Vijeta’ (1982), ‘Utsav’ (1984), ‘Kalyug’ (1981); Jeetendra’s home production’s ‘Deedaar-e-Yaar’ (1982), Rakesh Roshan’s productions ‘Khoon Bhari Maang’ (1988), the first two editions of the ‘Krrish’ series i.e. ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ & ‘Krrish’.

When it comes to writing a post on this favourite I can write reams & reams. And I kept googling for so many combinations, songs etc and landed up on an interesting article. That article reminds us of the fact that she was the go-to actress when it came to playing a Kothewali-Courtesan-Dancer in a bar/restaurant (called item girl in modern parlance). In the run up to this post I saw a few songs showing her dance and I fell in love with all of them all over again. ‘Kamar-lachkaana’ was something that she excelled in and that particular dance step was taken to another level by Madhuri & Sridevi from the next set of actresses.

For today’s post, let us see her in a song from “Khoon Bhari Maang” (1988) which was produced and directed by Rakesh Roshan. It starred Rekha (today’s birthday girl), Shatrughan Sinha (I think this was a special appearance), Kadar Khan, Kabir Bedi, Sonu Walia, Saeed Jaffery, Satyajeet (who was a child actor once upon a time), Sulabha Deshpande, & Rakesh Roshan (for just one song). The movie had music by Rajesh Roshan, and Indeevar was the lyricist. Asha Bhonsle, Sadhana Sargam, Sonal Bhatwadekar, and Nitin Mukesh were the playback singers used. The movie had Rekha playing a wealthy widow who is almost killed by her wealth-crazy second husband (Sanjay played by Kabir Bedi). She survives the attempt, comes back looking dazzlingly beautiful and Sanjay is instantly attracted to her giving her a chance to lure him to his death thereby avenging atrocities meted out on her family. Rekha won a Best Actress award for this Plain Jane turning Avenging Angel act at the 34th Filmfare awards.

This movie resurrected Rekha’s career and she acted in a few more movies which had her playing similar characters.

Today’s song features Rekha as Rakesh Roshan’s wife in one version and a mother of two children in the second version. Then there is a third sad version of the song as well.Nitin Mukesh, Sadhana Sargam and Sonal Bhatwadekar are the voices used.

Hullo Atuldom

28th September is the date which is deeply etched in the minds of followers of Hindi Film music. It is the birthdate of the LATA MANGESHKAR. She had a great fan following even among celebrities and in all corners of the earth.

There are pages & pages written about this legend. Every song that she has ever sung has some significance to the listener. Talk to any layman and they will have their own personal playlist featuring songs of this “nightingale”. Invariably the list will have a bhajan, aarathi at the top of the list that will be followed by songs in all moods possible.

Whatever one writes may be a repeat of what has already been written and/or said. Hence I am getting straight to a song. My quest for a song featuring S P Balasubramaniyam and Lata Mangeshkar gave me all the expected results- meaning songs featuring Salman Khan, Jeetendra etc. as also songs from some popular Rajshree Production films. Among all those results I spied a long-forgotten song which featured Rakesh Roshan and Rati Agnihotri. We shall listen to that song today .

The song is from the 1981 released, Rajashekhar directed “Jeene Ki Aarzoo”. It was produced by M. Kumaran, Balasubramanian M. and M. Saravan. That means the production house was AVM Studios of Madras. It was the last Hindi film of the production house, the first one being “Bahar” in 1951 that introduced the Hindi film audiences to a dancing actress Vyjayanthimala.

The music director for “Jeene Ki Aarzoo” was Bappi Lahiri and Anjaan the lyricist. The four songs of the film were sung by Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle and S P Balasubramaniyam. Mithun Chakravarthy, Bindiya Goswami, Rakesh Roshan, Rati Agnihotri, Keshto Mukherjee, Rajendranath, Jagdeep, Sujit Kumar, Manmohan Krishna, formed the main cast.

The film was a remake of the director’s own Kannada original “Hunnimeya Rathriyalli” (1980) I have no clue about the plot of the movie but only recall that there was a song featuring Rati in a village belle outfit where she sang about ‘raw mangoes’. Reviews about the movie on online websites say that Mithun Chakravarthy had given a sensational performance and that Rakesh Roshan was good. The reviewer also says that even if the movie itself was not mind-blowing; it was a different kind of film in times when movies were mostly full of ‘Maar-Dhaad’.

Getting on to the song, thinking of Balu sir (whose anniversary was on 25th -two years already!!) and Lata Didi.

Today (11 August 2022) is Rakshabandhan. This is the 15th Rakshabandhan for this blog. The first Rakshabandhan for the blog fell on 16 August 2008. That day saw the iconic Rakshabandhan song namely Bhaiyya mere raakhi ke bandhan ko nibhaana (Chhoti Bahan)(1959) getting covered on the blog.

On those early days, only one song was discussed in a day. Subsequently multiple songs began to be covered daily. Festival days were no exception. So more than one Rakshabandhan songs were also discussed in the subsequent occasions.

Till now as many as 24 Rakshabandhan songs have been covered on the blog. Most of these songs (if not all) are sung in the female voice and lip synced by a female character playing the Rakhi tying sister.

The Rakshabandhan song under discussion today is different in quite a few respects. It is sung by a male singer. It is a “sales pitch” song where Rakhi is being sold. The song is sung by Amit Kumar (though HFGK is silent about the name of the singer). It is picturised on Vinod Khanna disguised as an old Rakhi seller. So this song is a “disguise” song as well. Rakesh Roshan and Pradeep Kumar are also seen in the picturisation.

This song is from ‘Hatyaara’ (1977). The movie was produced by Sunil Sharma and JR Shah and directed by Surendra Mohan for Sunil Arts, Bombay. The movie had Vinod Khanna, Moushumi Chatterjee, Rakesh Roshan, Priyadarshini, Nirupa Roy, Pran, Dev Kumar, Man Mohan, Kanahiyalal, Raj Mehra, Chand Usmani, Abhi Bhattacharya, Sunder, Gulshan Bawra, Sahu Modak, Johny Whisky, Sabeena, Shyam, Shefali, Rajkumar, Premji, Bihari, Moolchand, Hamid, Raj Malhotra, Rajkishore, Nazir Kashmiri, Omi, Harun Khan, CL Shah, Jugnu, Kedarnath Sehgal, Chandrima Bhaduri, Baby Prerna, Master Bittu, Master Raju, Master Rajesh Valecha etc. The movie also had guest appearances by Pradeep Kumar, Laxmi Chhaaya and Mehmood.

The movie had five songs in it. One song has been covered so far.

Here is this second song from ‘Hatyaara’ (1977). The movie had three lyricists in it but the lyricist of this song is no known. This song only appears in the movie. Its records were not made. Music direction was by Kalyanji Anandji.

I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the missing details of the song (viz lyricist).

Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Hullo Atuldom

“Trimoorti” (1974) was produced and directed by Rajendra Bhatia. It had a cast of Parveen Babi, Kanchan Mattoo, Arpana Choudhary, Sanjay Khan, Rakesh Roshan, Asrani, Achala Sachdev, A.K. Hangal, Arvind Trivedi, Gulshan Bawra, Krishnakant, and I.S.Johar, Parveen Paul, Keshto Mukherjee, Sarita Joshi etc. Its music director was Rahul Dev Burman and Gulshan Bawra was the lyricist.

The blog has this song which was posted in 2017 on Parveen Babi’s anniversary.
I was reminded of this movie when I saw one of its song on some channel. The song had Asrani, Sanjay and Rakesh Roshan uniformly dressed. That made me wonder “what is happening!!!” as actors normally like to standout or look unique etc. I also saw a few other songs and in most of these the heroes are uniformly dressed. I haven’t seen the movie but I presume there must be an element of comedy in it if the song with this post is an indication. It has Asrani, Sanjay and Rakesh Roshan pampering their mother in the voices of Nitin Mukesh, Kishore Kumar and Bhupinder.

4th January is the remembrance date of Panchamda, a.k.a. Rahul Dev Burman. 3rd January was the 81st birthday of Sanjay Khan and 1st january was the 82nd birthday of Govardhan Asrani known popularly as Asrani. This post wishes Sanjay Khan and Asrani (belated) wishes health and happiness on their birthdays and thank RDB for giving us years of happiness with his music.

Hullo Atuldom

The song with this post is one that I have been wanting to present on the blog for years. I have kept looking for its link on YouTube and finally found that someone has uploaded it in May 2019. Then I looked for the movie’s songs on our blog and found one song was posted with lyrics contributed by Avinashji.

In the comments to that song Prakshchandraji has written this about the movie:-

“Shubh Kaamna is a remake of famous Telugu hit movie “Shubh Lekha(1982) (directed by the same famous director K.Vishwanath) starring famous Telugu Hero (now turned into politician) Chiranjeevi and Sumalata. The film dealt with the Dowry system and Utpal Dutt`s acting in Shubh kaamna is very good. And the music of Pancham is also very good. Kiran Vairale acted very well. But I think, somehow the southern flavour of the movie was not accepted by northern audience. But I enjoyed the movie very much.”

Prakashji had also mentioned that the videos related to the movie are not easily available.

The movie had a cast of Rati Agnihotri, Kiran Vairale, Ashalata, Rakesh Roshan, Vinod Mehra (think it was a special appearance), Sujit Kumar, Utpal Dutt, Asrani, Omprakash, Satyen Kappu, and South actor Sudhakar played Utpal Dutt’s younger son and Kiran Vairale’s love interest. The songs were written by Majrooh Sultanpuri. I had seen this movie with family at the time of its theatrical release; and loved the concept of the movie. There was something to do with Allwyn watch company in the movie and some portion of the movie was shot in the factory, if my memory is correct. Also the beaches of Andhra Pradesh served as location for much of the movie.

Today’s song is a stage song which has Rakesh Roshan singing at a cultural program at the college where Rati Agnihotri is a lecturer and Kiran Vairale (her sister) is a student. The song is in a few dialects(editor’s- it is in Bangla).

Today happens to be Rakesh Roshan’s birthdate. He started his career at 21 or 22 after the untimely death of his father -the music director Roshan. He began as assistant to director Mohan Kumar in films like ‘Anjaana’.

Blog Day :

4727 Post No. : 16443

Today 27th June 2021 is the eighty-second birth anniversary (27.06.1939 – 04.01.1994) of music composer Rahul Dev Burman or Pancham Da as we fondly know him.

On this occasion we remember him and celebrate his birth anniversary by listening to songs composed by him. That way we pay our humble tributes to this great genius who ruled Hindi Film Music from the seventies to mid-eighties.

Though more than seven hundred R D Burman songs are already showcased in the blog, I was still confused about the song to be selected for today’s presentation, seeing that many of Pancham’s well known songs are still not yet covered on the blog. Nowadays I am listening to Vividh Bharati daily and I am regularly coming across many of his songs on the radio (not yet covered here). whenever I listen to them, I feel like sharing the lyrics of those songs in the blog. Out of 1755 songs estimated to be composed by him in HFM we have posted only 739 songs on the blog so far. So we have yet to reach the halfway mark as far as R D Burman songs in the blog is concerned.

(I have also noted couple of new topics about the songs composed by R.D. Burman and will try to bring them on the blog in future).

As observed above, we are still a long way off from enjoying the ‘music’ of the great genius Rahul Dev Burman fully in the blog.

A lot has already been written about Pancham Da’s music, his geniuses, his ‘era’ of ‘music’, his ‘rise’ in the Hindi Film Music and the days when he was ‘left alone’ by the people in the Film Industry. Few books have also been published about ‘the man and his music’ i.e., R.D. Burman. There have been many articles on him on our blog itself. So I ill not repeat the same details and I will straightway to today’s song now.

Today we will listen to one of the songs composed by R.D. Burman which is from the movie ‘Chalta Purza-1977’. It was produced and directed by Bhappi Sonie for his home productions. This movie had Rajesh Khanna, Parveen Babi, Rakesh Roshan, Ajit, Ranjeet, Asrani, Purnima, Baby Chintu, Sonia Sahni, Sudhir, Manmohan, V. Gopal, Leena Disuza, Kirti Kumar, Kuljit, Dhoomal, Aparna Chaudhary, Madan Keni, Bramha Bharadwaj, Shyam Kumar, Mumtaz Begam, Lalita Kumari, Manorama, Habib, Keshav Rana, Madhup Sharma, Kamal, Kamaldeep, Dilip Dutt, Jankidas and others. Bindu make a special appearance in this movie, while Murad, Raj Mehra, Komila Virk, Keti Mirza and Dev Kumar make a guest appearance in this movie.

Story and Screenplay of this movie was written by Sachin Bhaumick and dialogues were written by Kader Khan. Editing for this movie was done by M.S. Shinde.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 16.06.1977, that is almost forty-four years back.

There were four songs in this movie composed by R.D. Burman and written by Anand Bakshi. Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar and Sushma Shreshtha gave their voices to the songs in this movie.

Following is the list of songs of this movie-

S.No. Song Title Singer Posted on the blog on
01 Ye raat ne rang jamaaya hai, nayaa khilaadi aaya hai Asha Bhonsle
02 Aa gaye ham dildaar teri gali mein dilbar yaar Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar Being presented today
03 Baby ghar chalo ghar tum bin hai soona Kishore Kumar, Sushma Shreshtha 29.12.2016
04 Aapne farz nibhaaya hai … band lifaafe mein jaise paighaam likha hota hai Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar 06.02.2013

As mentioned above two songs from this movie ‘Chalta Purza-1977’ have been posted on the blog. (We can also see that we are going in ascending order 😊 in posting of the songs of this movie).

Today’s song is the third song from this movie to be posted on the blog. Today’s song is
sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar and on the screen Bindu and Rajesh Khanna have lip-synced for the voices of Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar, respectively. The song seems to be happening in a marriage ceremony in the movie, I guess its marriage ceremony of Rakesh Roshan who can be seen with Rajesh Khanna, Bindu, and many others in the picturization of this song.

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

Let us now enjoy today’s song …

Song-Arre aa gaye hum dildaar teri gali mein dilbar yaar(Chalta Purza)(1977) Singers-Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Lyrics-Anand Bakshi, MD-R D Burman

Lyrics

Are aa gaye ham dildaar
Teri gali mein
Dilbar yaar
Nakhre chhad ho ja tayyar
Gaadi chhoot jaayegi
Arre aa gaye hum dildaar
Teri gali mein
Dilbar yaar
Nakhre chhad ho ja tayyar
Gaadi chhoot jaayegi
O main nahin jana tere saath
Main nahin jana tere saath re
Main nahin jana tere saath
Leja waapas ye baaraat
Phir mat karna aisi baat
Yaari toot jaayegi
Main nahin jaana tere saath
Leja waapas ye baaraat
Phir mat karna aisi baat
Yaari toot jaayegi

Bade naseebon waali hai tu
Lagi hai hamko pyaari
Bade naseebon waali hai tu
Lagi hai hamko pyaari
Ham chal diye to
Reh jaayegi saari umr kunwaari
Are mere liye bahut hain ladke
Laga hua hai mela
Mere liye bahut hain ladke
Laga hua hai mela
Main na mili to reh jaayega
Saari umr akeyla

Taane mat maar
Jhagdaa mat kar beech bazaar
Nakhre chhad ho ja tayyar
Gaddi chhoot jaayegi
Main nahin jana tere saath
Leja waapas ye baarat
Phir mat karna aisi baat
Yaari toot jaayegi

Gali gali phirte hain tere jaise
Kayi deewaane
Mujhe to shaq hai bhool gaya hai
Rastaa tu anjaane

Mujhe kayi khat likhe toone
Gharwaalon se chori
Mujhe kayi khat likhe toone
Gharwaalon se chori
Chupke se mere haathon mein de de haath o gori
Maang na mera haath main na doon tujhko khairaat
Phir mat karna aisi baat
Yaari toot jaayegi

Are aa gaye hum dildaar
Teri gali mein
Dilbar yaar
Nakhre chhad ho ja tayyar
Gaadi
Are
Chhoot jaayegi ee

————————————————————

अरे आ गए हम दिलदार
तेरी गली में
दिलबर यार
नखरे छड हो जा तैयार
गाडी छूट जायेगी
अरे आ गए हम दिलदार
तेरी गली में
दिलबर यार
नखरे छड हो जा तैयार
गाडी छूट जायेगी
ओ मैं नहीं जाना तेरे साथ
मैं नहीं जाना तेरे साथ रे
मैं नहीं जाना तेरे साथ
लेजा वापस ये बारात
फिर मत करना ऐसी बात
यारी टूट जायेगी
मैं नहीं जाना तेरे साथ
लेजा वापस ये बारात
फिर मत करना ऐसी बात
यारी टूट जायेगी

बड़े नसीबों वाली है तू
लगी है हमको प्यारी
बड़े नसीबों वाली है तू
लगी है हमको प्यारी
हम चल दिए तो
रह जायेगी सारी उम्र कुंवारी
अरे मेरे लिए बहुत हैं लड़के
लगा हुआ है मेला
मेरे लिए बहुत हैं लड़के
लगा हुआ है मेला
मैं ना मिली तो रह जाएगा
सारी उम्र अकेला

ताने मत मार
झगडा मत कर बीच बाज़ार
नखरे छड हो जा तय्यार
गाडी छूट जायेगी
मैं नहीं जाना तेरे साथ
लेजा वापस ये बारात
फिर मत करना ऐसी बात
यारी टूट जायेगी

गली गली फिरते हैं तेरे जैसे
कई दीवाने
मुझे तो शक है भूल गया हैं
रास्ता तू अनजाने

मुझे कई ख़त लिखे तूने
घरवालों से चोरी
मुझे कई ख़त लिखे तूने
घरवालों से चोरी
चुपके से मेरे हाथों में दे दे हाथ ओ गोरी
माँग ना मेरे हाथ मैं ना दूं तुझको खैरात
फिर मत करना ऐसी बात
यारी टूट जायेगी

अरे आ गए हम दिलदार
तेरी गली में
दिलबर यार
नखरे छड हो जा तैयार
गाडी
अरे
छूट जायेगी
