That occasion is here again. The occasion when we reach a blog century post and then start wondering which song to cover as the century song. This time, I had a genneral idea that which artists should figure in the sopng. Apart from that, I was just as unprepared for the occasion as I generally am whenever a blog century appears. Acting at the eleventh hour and 59th minute has become aa hit with me it seems. 🙂
I was very clear in my mind (and this clarity came to me when the blog was still some 50 songs short of this century) that the song has to be a duet of Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. The reason was that together these two prolific and popular singers had as many as 295 duets in the blog and I wanted the blog century to coincide with their 300th duet in the blog.
I think most regulars will agree that the best duets sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle are already showcased in the blog. Take a sample of their songs that are already covered in the blog :-
We can see that the above list (which is indicative not exhaustive) is full of all time classic duets that have already been covered in the blog. Most of them were covered during the earlier days of the blog itself.
Seeing that most great Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhonsle duets were already covered in the blog, finding a suitable duet for the occasion was a tall order for me. I have looked at more than thirty as yet uncovered duets. They were all very good songs, but somehow I was not satisfied in my mind that they suited the occasion. After spending considerable time looking at over thirty songs, I finally decided that I had a suitable song from the occasion. This song, like most Kishore Kumar- Ashha Bhonsle songs listed above, is an all time popular song. There are some other all time popular songs by them in the same era but I did not pick them for various reasons, such as picturisation not upto the mark, the music sounding repetitive etc.
The song that I have picked is a great song to listen to, and a great song to watch. This song appears like a great example to team work. This kind of song situation have been seen quite a few times during the time when this song came up, and so it was a challenge for lyricists to come up with lyrics that would do justice to the song sitution. It must be said that the lyricist has come up with lyrics that were so catchy that the song quickly caught public imagination and the song became a very popular song on loudspeakers.
If one watched the picturisation, one realised that the people who were incharge of picturisation had left no stones (in this case kalse) unturned in getting the song picturised in a grand manner. Water vessels (Kalse) are the major attrackting of the picturisation. An enourmous number of kalse are arranged in different patterns as the song proceeds.
The song begins with female dancers standing in two columns. They throw kalash held by them into sky towards the femaledancersstanding on the opposite column, who catch then expertly like good cricket fielders, and the throw them back from where they came. All this while Sri Devi runs between the two columns,with such good timing that her run does not interrupt the kash throwing that is going on.
When the song begins, Jeetendra and Sri Devi are seen performing various PT exercises that passes for dance. 🙂 Yes, that is what I noticed about the dance movements of the lead pair. 🙂
Overall, it is great singing and great picturisation that keeps the music lovers enthralled throughout the song.
So, here is the 19800th song in the blog which also happens to be the 300th Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhonsle duet in the blog.
The movie is “Tohfa”(1984). It was produced by D Ram Naidu and directed by K Raghavendra Rao for Suresh Productions, Madras. The movie had Jeetendra, Sridevi, Jayaprada, Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Mohan Choti, Urmila Bhatt, Leela Mishra, Jagdeep, Aruna Irani, Jayshree T, Master Rinku etc. Asrani was also there in a friendly appearance.
Tohfa had five songs in it. Two songs have been covered in the blog.
While covering a previous song from this movie, I had commented that Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle had the ability to make an otherwise ordinary song with average lyrics sound wonderful. In a way, they were keeping the standard of HFM high with their singing even though the quality of lyrics and music was going down after 1980s.
Here is a great song from post golden era of HFM that was as good as those composed during the golden era. A song fit to be the 19800th song in the blog and also a song fit to be the 300th Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhonsle duet in the blog.
So we will again take fresh guard and will continue remoselessly in our onward musical journey. Here is hoping that we continue to reach many more destinations in our journey and we continue to find many hidden and forgotten musical gems along the way.
I take this opportunity to thank one and all for their support and encouragement that keeps this musical bandwagon going on and on. We are now just 200 songs short of the magic figure of 20000. A mind boggling figure, but one that is within striking distance.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2012-2022) – Song No. 113
————————————————————————————–
Ten years back on this date viz on 14th October 2012, five songs from five different movies were covered on the blog. Here are the details:-
| Blog post number | Song | Movie (Year) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6851 | Aaj sahi inkaar magar kal karna hoga pyaar | Zalzala(1952) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 6852 | Kisne chheda man ka taar | Tohfaa (1947) | 8 songs covered out of 10 by now |
| 6853 | Ham tumhaare hain zara ghar se nikal kar dekh lo | Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi(1958) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 6854 | Main hoon Mr John | Naach Ghar(1959) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 6855 | Na chaand ho na suraj ho | Jaadugar Daaku (1962) | 3 songs covered out of 6 by now |
We can notice that three movies (out of five) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (14 october 2012) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with two movies that have a few songs left and so they are still eligible for Blo Ten Year Challenge today (14 october 2022).

Today (4 August 2020) is the 91st birth anniversary of Kishore Kumar (4 August 1929- 13 october 1987). And incidentally, today is the 4400th day for the blog !
Three articles from three regulars discussing Kishore Kumar have already appeared on the blog today. It is interesting to note that all the three regulars decided to discuss three songs from the decade of 1980s.
The golden era of HFM, which began in 1949, ended in 1980. People who lived through the golden era can notice a palpable lack of overall quality in HFM after 1980. There were quite a few reasons for that. I have given this matter some thought and I have come up with some interesting observations. I will use those observations some other time in some other article. Here I will mention it in brief that the golden era of HFM began when Indian classical base (melody based) was wedded with western classical base (symphony based). This marriage, which gave us the best of both the worlds, got dissolved in 1980. Western symphony was replaced by western cacophony while lyrics of the songs were dispensed with.

Agha Jaani Kashmiri (16/10/1908 – 27/03/1998) was perhaps the first story/screen-play/dialogue writer who was the ‘king maker’ in the Hindi film industry. Some of the producers/directors like Mehboob Khan, Shashidhar Mukherjee, Sunil Dutt used to consult him while taking up their new film projects. It is said that though he would be officially engaged for writing screen-play and dialogues, in realities, he would be their adviser in almost all the aspects of the film-making. Some of the actors themselves used to get trained from him about the correct pronunciations of their dialogues in Hindustani. Ashok Kumar, Devika Rani, Nargis, Joy Mukherjee, Sadhna, Saira Bano were some of the actors who sought his advice on their Urdu diction.

If there was a category like ‘post inspired by fellow Atulite’ or ‘post inspired by Atulite WA group chat’, this post would have been included under that category. This past Sunday there was a discussion between me and Peevesie’s Mom ji regarding the theme of the ‘Rangoli’ this week, which was Jaya Bhaduri/Bachchan, and so I messaged to her that I was expecting a post from her. Instead, she asked me that even I can do a post. And she also pointed out the birth anniversary of actor Jeetendra (and so if there was a song of Jaya Bachchan and Jeetendra, it would have been suitable for the post).

The Voice of Mukesh #22
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Today I am posting the 5th song by Mukesh from the film ‘Tohfaa’ (1947). As we make progress on the trip to listening to the voice of Mukesh in some well known, and some not so well known and downright rare songs, we are now coming close to the end of the 1947 list of songs by Mukesh. After this post, only two more of his songs from 1947 are to be posted.

It is generally believed that scriptwriters (I use this word to include story, screenplay and dialogue writers) in Hindi films gained recognition and their status enhanced thanks to Salim-Javed duo who reigned over Hindi film industry with their fast paced screen plays and dialogues during 70s and early 80s. In fact, those days during our family discussions, if someone gives a hard hitting response, we used to say “here comes Salim-Javed” which would help in bringing normalcy to the ongoing heated disussions. The duo became so popular that they used to decide who would be the lead actor in the films for which they wrote scripts. It is also believed that in addition to their fixed component of fees, they would also get a share of profits from the films for which they wrote. I have seen their names being printed in bold letters in film posters and newspapers advertisements signifying that along with lead actors, music director etc, the name of Salim-Javed also played a role in attracting cinegoers to the movie halls.

The year 1947 was very good for Mukesh, till then the best so far in his seven years career. In this year, he recorded a total of 21 songs in 10 films. We have so far covered 17 of his songs from this year, including all the songs from the film ‘Do Dil’ in which he sang as many as six songs.
