Today, 29th December 2025 is the eighty-third birth anniversary of Rajesh Khanna.

He needs no introduction to the Hindi Cinema lovers of yesteryears and those who have been following and studying the History of Hindi Cinema and love Hindi Cinema and its music. In fact, he is a well known and well admired actor even among the generation who came after Rajesh Khanna era was over.

Today on the occasion of the eighty-third birth anniversary of Rajesh Khanna I am presenting a song from the 1984 movie ‘Paapi Pet Ka Sawaal Hai’. I had earlier presented a song from this movie on this blog.

Today, December 25, 2025, is the 10th Remembrance Day of Sadhana, the fashion icon of Hindi cinema in the 1960s. She was also called the ‘mystery girl’ because she acted in three mystery genre of films one after another. In her short filmy career of about 15 years, she had a high success ratio in terms of hit films. She worked with top directors like Bimal Roy, Raj Khosla, Yash Chopra, Hrishikesh Mukherjee and H S Rawail. Her co-stars included Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor, Rajendra Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Raj Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Rajesh Khanna and Dharmendra. Sadhana came and conquered the Hindi film industry in the 1960s and by the end of 1970s, she virtually vanished from the film industry.

Remembering Mohammed Rafi Sahab – 101st Birth Anniversary

“Naghmon ka karwaan” is unleashed with this one name. We the Rafians are not in the mood to yet finish the centenary celebrations. The celebrated artist, the legend is celebrated everyday in various forms, through his songs, through the many fans, ever increasing, with newly exposed people. Though all the songs are 4 decades old, but somehow, they never grow old. The younger generation of new fans is ever increasing, and fan clubs abound in the whole world. The musically aware people, when they become aware of the phenomena called Mohammed Rafi, they are surprised and shocked, that where was he, all this while, how come they did not know of him. Then they come to know, that there lived a playback singer in India, who left for heavenly abode on 31st July 1980. But the songs and voice lives on, in the hearts and in the sound waves of the world.

As it is, Blog century is a regular and recurring destination for the blog. after we arrive at a blog century, we do not take a pause rather keep continuing to cover more and more songs in the blog and before we realise, we are staring at the next blog century.

This has taught me a lesson that When you do not worry about the destination then you reach your destination almost painlessly and unnoticeably.When one thinks about it, one realises that we have had as many as 196 blog centuries already and now we are only blog century number 197, viz blog song post number 19700.

This blog century has been reached in 26 days, which appears quite a good pace for the blog at present. We cannot compare this rate from the last decade when we were clocking centuries in 16 days but then we were one decade younger at that time and we had far more energy.

“Bombay Talkie” (1970) is a film by Merchant Ivory Productions, with a screenplay by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and James Ivory. The movie starred Shashi Kapoor, Jennifer Kendel, Aparna Sen, etc

Matinee idol and popular hero of Hindi films Mr Shashi Kapoor played the role of Vikram, hero of Hindi movies, who is philanderer and spoiled brat. Despite, he being married with beautiful Mala (Aparna Sen), he falls in love with a visiting journalist Lucia (Mrs Jennifer Kendall Kapoor). Extra martial affair, as we have experienced always ends with violence and in this case also the outcome was no different .

Today’s song is from a unique film- Love in Bombay-1975.

It is generally said that records are for breaking. It means, in any field, if a record of achievement is made, sometime or the other, that record is broken. Some records are such that one feels, ‘now this will never be broken. It is the ultimate’.

This post is my 100th on Atul Song A Day blog created by Atul Ji and well supported by a bunch of film & music enthusiasts.

I started this journey on 20/01/2014, with Rafi Saab song “Chup chup chup kyun baithhi ho ” from Hamrahi 1974.

Since then lot has happened in terms of my family structure (going from being parents to two boys – to becoming grandparents to two cute and chubby kids – a boy, Arjun and a girl, Takshavi), to downsizing our house (from a 5 bedroom house to a 3 bedroom house – because the children moved out in 2016 & 17), to changes in my physical structure, from being a full bodied person to becoming an amputee (1. having lost all my toes on my left foot).

On my health front, I also got diagnosed with and treated such from Breast Cancer.

However, I have always maintained a never say die attitude. Full marks to my wife, Sharwari, who has stood behind me as a rock, making it possible for both of us to face all these life challenges.

‘Kaanch Ki Deewaar’ (1986) was an obscure film which I came to know only recently. The film was produced by Kamal Chaudhary and M N Yasin and the latter directed the film. Both the names are new to me and this was their debut film. The cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Smita Patil, Amrish Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Om Prakash, Rajan Sippy (debutant), Purnima, Neelu Phule, Urmila Bhatt, Raj Mehra, Lalita Kumari, Murad, Madhu Malini, Jagdeep, Birbal, Hina Kausar, Jaishree T etc. The film was released on January 31, 1986, about three months after the passing away of Sanjeev Kumar.

It appears that the film took long time to complete or to get it released as I find that there is a song by Mohammed Rafi in the film who had passed away in July 1980. The film’s lead actress, Smita Patil had started working in the mainstream commercial films in 1981 by signing a spate of such films to prove that she can as well be a successful actor in such films. The same combination of producer and director had started one more film, ‘Waqt Kaa Sikandar’ (1996) when the film under discussion was delayed in getting released. It seems the second film failed to get completed or released.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 36

For a change, we move away from Asha Bhosle solo songs to a beautiful duet she has sung with the ethereal voiced Mohd Rafi Saab.

Today’s song is “Khud Toh Badnaam Huye” from Chanda Aur Bijli (1969). The lyricist is Hasrat Jaipuri and the composer jodi is Shankar Jaikishan.

Four songs out of six have already been posted earlier, so this is the fifth song.
