‘Basera’ (1981) was produced by Ramesh Behl under his banner, Rose Movies and was directed by Ramesh Talwar. The cast included Shashi Kapoor, Rakhee, Rekha, Poonam Dhillon, Raj Kiran, Iftekhar, A K Hangal, Sudha Chopra etc. The film was based on a Marathi novel written by Leela Phansalkar. In fact, Ramesh Talwar has directed IPTA play, Tanhaai’ (1971) based on this novel. It was decided to convert his IPTA play into the film, ‘Basera’ (1981).
The film is about two sisters who are wedded to the same man by a twist of fate. In an interview published in ‘Filmfare’, April 22, 2016, Ramesh Talwar had revealed that for the roles of two sisters, he had already finalised Rakhee. He told Rakhee that if she accepted the role of the younger sister, he would take Nutan for the role of elder sister. However, Rakhee preferred the elder sister’s role and suggested Rekha’s name for the younger sister’s role. After the separation of Rakhee and Gulzar, this was the first film with Rakhee in which Gulzar got associated as the screenplay, dialogues and song writer. Interestingly, Rekha, apart from her role as the second wife of Shashi Kapoor is also in the role of Raj Kiran’s mother, who in reality, is elder to her by 5 years.

(Asha Bhonsle’s 92nd birthday 8th September 2025)
Today 8th September 2025 is the ninety-third birthday of legendary singer of Hindi Films – Asha Bhonsle. On this occasion we are celebrating her birthday by presenting some songs sung by her here on this blog. Though I had mentioned in my first post today that I will be sharing songs sung by Asha Bhonsle from different collaborations, songs presented by me form this post onwards will have the same composer viz. R.D. Burman with different lyricists. 🙂
In this post I am presenting a lesser heard song sung by Asha Bhonsle from the movie ‘Aanchal-1980’.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 43
“Aao Yaaron Gao” by Asha Bhosle does not fit under the Kamsune/Ansune song category, but a dear friend and co-contributor Raja Swaminathan jee indicated that these two gems from the movie “Hawas” (1974) were not posted, I took a decision on including both of them (song # 43 & 44) under this category.
‘Hawas’ is directed by Sawan Kumar for Mercury Productions. He was also the producer, storywriter and the lyricist of this movie. The star cast includes Anil Dhawan, Neetu Singh, Bindu, Vidya Sinha, Shiv Kumar, Fariyal, Pradeep Kumar, Randhawa and Mehmood. Supported by Pichoo Kapoor, Ashok Khanna, Randhir, Asit Sen, Shera, Basant, Neelam, Nelu, Sharmilee, Jugnu, and Coca-cola. Rekha and Vinod Mehra made friendly appearance in this movie.

Aruna Irani was born in Mumbai, India to an Irani father and a Hindu mother. Her father Faredun Irani ran a drama troupe, and her mother Saguna was an actress. She is the eldest of eight siblings. Three of her brothers Indra Kumar, Adi Irani and Firoz Irani are all associated with the film industry; Adi Irani is an actor & the other two are film makers. Actress Bindu is her cousin on her paternal side; it seems Aruna Irani’s father had two wives & Bindu is the niece of the second wife. (This surfaced in some recent videos on YouTube)

“Kasme Vaade” (1978) was produced and directed by Ramesh Behl under his ROSE MOVIES banner. It was Ramesh Behl’s first as director. The songs were written by Gulshan Bawra & composed by R. D. Burman. Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Amit Kumar, Mohd Rafi, Anand Kumar C. & Pancham (R.D. Burman) were the playback singers for the 8 songs. Of the 8 songs two songs (‘aati rahengi bahaarein’ & ‘kasme vaade nibhaayenge hum’) were multi version songs.
The film had Rakhee, Neetu Singh, Amitabh Bachchan, Randhir Kapoor in the main lead with Rekha in a guest appearance and Amjad Khan in special appearance.
Master Bhagwan (Dada) was there for one song at the start of the film. That song was meant to show the happy-go-lucky character of Randhir Kapoor. Also we had Vijayendra Ghatge in a brief role as spoilt-brat-college student.

Hello everyone!
It has been SUCH a long time since my last post here that I’ve forgotten how to even write posts.
So this one will most probably be a short one, unlike my past marathon posts.
I say “most probably” because I might intend a short post, but once I start writing, my thoughts end up having a life of their own. I would be an editor’s worst nightmare. 😊
Anyway, let’s see how it goes.
Ok, so the main reason for this post is a sort of coincidence that I’m taking as a sign to make me write.

During 1970s, when I was in my teens, I used to maintain records of cricket. Nowadays, we have access to cricket records with the click of a few buttons on computer or mobile phones but that was not the case 50 odd years ago. At about the same time, I also started noting down the lyrics of Hindi movie songs that I liked. Those days were pre HFGK days when we had no idea how many movie songs were created by then. The claims of 25000 plus songs and 28000 songs by individual singers were entertained and published even in Guiness Book of world records those days !

In this article, I have picked up for discussion Gautam Ghosh’s film, ‘Yaatra’ (2007) which comes under the ambit of the parallel cinema. The meaning of the film’s title in the context of the story is ‘transition journey’. This is a complicated film. The audience is likely to get confused as to how much of the story in a novel narrated by the protogonist is real and fictional when he narrates the story to a fellow traveller, an upcoming film-maker. Some parts of the story are autobiographical in nature while some are creative imaginations and thus fictional in nature. The transition from fiction to fact in the novel is so blurred that the upcoming film-maker gets confused. In the end, the film-maker decides to give his own perspective of the story in his screenplay when he decides to make the film based on the novel.
