In this short write-up, I present the last song, ‘aaya hoon gharbaar chhod main ban ne filmi star’ to be covered on the Blog from an obscure film, ‘Bahke Kadam’ (1971). The song is written by Dharmesh Dutt which is set to music by Usha Khanna. The film was produced and directed by Dharmesh Dutt who also acted in the film and wrote the songs. The cast included Agha, Aprajita, Dharmesh Dutt, Madan Puri, Jagirdar, Sundar, Mridula, Sulochana, Kanu Roy etc. This appears to be the only film of Dharmesh Dutt as a producer, director, actor and song writer. The VCD/DVD of the film is not available on any video sharing platform.
The song under discussion is rendered by Mohammed Rafi. Since video clip of the song is not available, I can only make a guess based on the lyrics that the song may have been picturised on Agha. Two features of this song are that in the last stanza, suddenly the mukhda part of the song, ‘dil dekhe dekho’ gets incorporated. Incidentally, the old song was also rendered by Mohammed Rafi and set to music by Usha Khanna.

‘Main Hoon Alladin’ (1965) was produced by K N Sippy and was directed by Mohmmed Hussain. The cast included Ajit, Saeeda Khan, Madan Puri, Maruti, David, Amar, Jagirdar, Sham Kumar, Ratnamala, Mumtaz Begum, Munshi Munaka, Mulchand, Khalil, Nazir Kashmiri, Habib and others. The film was based on ‘Arabian Nights’ stories and belongs to ‘costume and fantasy’ genre.
The film is available in the VCR format. Though the film is in colour, the quality of both video and audio is not up to the mark. There appears to be some deletion of scenes at a few places as the story does not give a feel of a smooth changeover. As it is, the story of the film itself appears to be an amalgam of sub-plots. The first part mostly covers the character around Alladin and his love interest, Salma while the second part mostly gives the impression of a repeat of the fairytales of ‘Alladin and the Wonderful Lamp’. Still, the film is interesting to watch and all the songs are melodious.

Today I present a ‘sensuous-seduction’ song by Asha Bhonsle sung for the movie ‘Gumraah-1976’. As mentioned earlier this movie seems to be an obscure movie of its time but it has now been made available on internet.
Our dear Satyajit jee has mentioned about the story of the movie in brief while presenting a song from this movie on the blog.

‘Main Wohi Hoon’ (1966) was produced by S A Mehmood and was directed by A Shamsheer. The cast included Feroz Khan, Kumkum, I S Johar, Madan Puri, Murad, Roopesh Kumar, Bela Bose, Lata Sinha, Mirza Musharraf etc. The film was a murder mystery.
I have watched the film for the first time only recently after reading the synopsis of the film’s story which appeared to be an interesting murder mystery. A sole daughter of a wealthy father wants to marry a middle-class man. The father has some apprehension because he has two other suitors for his daughter who are rich. But the daughter is adamant to marry her preferred man. Finally, the father has made his mind to go with his daughter’s preference but she is yet to be told of his decision. All the three suitors attend daughter’s birthday bash. Soon, the father is murdered by an unknown assailant. The main suspects are the three suitors who have met the father in the birthday bash and have indirect interest in his wealth if Asha becomes their prospective bride.

‘Aa Jaa Sanam’ (1975) was produced by S A Mehmood and was directed by Yusuf Naqvi. The cast included Feroz Khan and Tanuja in lead roles supported by Deven Verma, Shabnam, Sulochana Chatterjee, S N Banerjee, Shivraj, Mukri, Meenaxi, S A Baker, Kalyani Bai etc.
I have recently watched the film for the first time and I am surprised that it is shot in ‘Black and White’ for a 1975 released film by which time almost all the Hindi films were made in colour. Obviously, the film must have got held up for a long time before it was released. I guess that the film may have been shot around mid-1960s going by the trends of costume used by Feroz Khan who is seen with narrow bottom pants. By the starts of 1970, the fashion of bell-bottom pants was seen in many films. Also, the film has all three male voice songs of Mohammed Rafi whereas after the post-Aradhana (1969) period, Kishore Kumar would have got at least one song for the film if not more because the film distributors normally used to insist.
