Today, August 24, 2025, is the 25th Remembrance Day of Kalyanji of the music director duo, Kalyanji-Anandji. Surprisingly, none of the two brothers had any inkling of becoming music director when Anandji started his amateure orchestra group doing live variety stage shows in around Girgaum area. Kalyanji, his elder brother joined this group after completion of his boarding school where he had learn to play various musical instruments.

Kalyanji (30/06/1928 0 24/08/2000) was born to Virji Shah, a Jain businessman from Kutch who migrated to Mumbai in early 20th century to set up the grocery and dry-fruit shops in Mangalwadi, Girgaum area of South Mumbai, a predominately Marathi and Gujarati speaking region. While Kalyanji was sent to a boarding school, Anandji, his 5 year junior younger brother joined the local school. In those days, there were many film personalities like V Shantaram, Durga Khote, Shanta Apte, Kikubhai Desai (father of Subhash and Manmohan Desai), some crew members and the film musicians staying in Girgaum. Anandji learnt percussions from a music teacher in lieu of his outstanding grocery bills of his father’s shop. However, his Jain mother did not allow him to bring the Dholak at home because it had animal skin. So, he had to keep his Dholak at his music teacher’s house. Similarly, he gained some working knowledge of Hindustani classical music when he started giving tanpura accomplishment to a Hindustani classical vocalist of his locality during her practice session for which she would give him a chocolate as reward.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Tamanna’ (1942).

This was a film made by Laxmi Productions, Bombay. It was directed by Phani Mujumdar and for songs written by SK Kalla, the music was provided by India’s first blind music director KC Dey. In later years there were two more blind MDs. One was Manoharlal Sonik – of the Sonik-Omi duo of MDs and the other was Ravindra Jain. This film was released on 20-6-1942 at the Royal Opera House theater in Bombay.

Under this series today we have this beautiful ‘Sufi Qawwali’ composed by C.Arjun and which is written by none other than Sahir Ludhianvi for the movie ‘Nawaab Sahib-1978’. I have vague memories of watching this movie in late seventies or early eighties, but I do not remember much about this movie or its story line. The only memory of this movie that I had carried over in my growing years and thereafter was this song ‘Hum Mein Hai Kya Ke Hamen Koi Haseena Chaahe’ sung by Mohd Rafi.

तुम ना जाने किस जहां में खो गए॰॰॰

एक शायर का नज़रिया है॰ यूं तो हमें मालूम है के ज़िंदगी का दिया एक दिन बुझ जाना है॰ मगर फिर भी, जब किसी चहेते का साथ छूटता है, तो दिल का ग़म इन्हीं लफ्जों में ढलता है॰॰॰  तुम ना जाने किस जहां में खो गए॰॰॰

[A poet’s perspective it is. We are all aware that the life breath will cease one day. But still, when a dear one departs, the sadness in the heart expresses itself in these very words. . . “Tum Na Jaane Kis Jahaan Mein Kho Gaye”].

The words are from the pen of Sahir – the poet extraordinaire, whose poetry has touched every strand in the fabric of life, every passion, every sentiment of the human psyche. A poet who has given us near about seven hundred film songs, that express a multitude of emotions coloring the canvas of life.

Remembering Sahir Sb, on the anniversary of his passing away today (25th Oct, 1980).

Writing about old films and old songs is not an easy job. Particularly,if you are writing about Debut Films and Debut songs,it is a Herculean task to find out which is the real Debut song/Film. This is because, as I always say, we are a poor nation as far as recording film history is concerned. There are conflicting claims made by Internet sites and so called experts. Even books are not reliable, as I found recently. Therefore, it is very difficult to verify any information.

It was more than a couple of months ago that I had received the lyrics of a song which I loved. That song was one that I had never heard before. Moreover, this song was picturised on an actor who rarely lip synced songs on screen. I loved the song so much that I resolved that this song must be posted on a special day.
