Today’s song is from the film Zindagi ke mele-1956.

This was a social film having an ordinary story, without any famous or top star. The only good thing about this film was its Music Director – Chitragupt, the king of melody. If at all the producer had got back all his money invested, he should be thankful to Chitragupt for his music, otherwise nothing special was there in this film.

#Taraanaa-1979#

‘Taraana-1979’ was directed by Deepak Bahri for ‘Chanda Pictures’. It was presented by Rajshri Productions and produced by Tarachand Barjatya. Living upto the name of the production house this movie too gives us a clean, musical, family entertainer movie. This is a nice movie having a nice story line of ‘love’ and including sub-plots of ‘lost and found’ story, and ‘wealthy and poor’ conflict to it. The director of this movie Deepak Bahri has some good films to his name. These include movies like ‘Agent Vinod-1977’, ‘Ham Se Hain Zamaana-1983’, ‘Ustaadi Ustaad Se-1982’, ‘Woh Jo Haseenaa-1983’ and others.

Once I post the century post in the blog, I heave a big sigh of relief and tell myself that I am free from tension as the next century post is far far away. So it came as a surprise to me that the next cenbtury post for the blog has arrived. I thought that the previous blog century post had appeared just a few days ago ! How can we reach the next century so fast ? On checking up, I realised that the previous century post viz blog post number 18500 has appeared on 14 september 2024. Today is 3 November, so fifty days have passed. 100 songs in 50 days are to be expected, even with the slow rate of posts that we have settled into now a days.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –11

Having covered the songs of Mukesh under the composition of Usha Khanna, I was always curious to list the duets of Usha Khanna and Mukesh.

No, it is not just picking up the duets from the table in the above post as they also sang under other composers; albeit quite a few songs.

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #

In this post I am presenting a song composed by Bhupen Hazarika.

Bhupen Hazarika was born on 8th of September’1926 in Sadiya, Assam. He left this worldly place on 5th of November 2011.

Bhupen Hazarika needs no introduction to music lovers all over the world. Known as the ‘Bard of the Brahmaputra’ he wrote over eight hundred songs in Assamese. His love for his mother tongue and his culture, particularly the folklore of Assam, can be experienced in his poetry, lyrics, compositions and parables that speak of the socio-political and other general folk landscape of Assam. As a music composer he used the folk music with a touch of contemporary.

Today’s song is from the Sci-Fi film Gogola-1966. This is the last and final song of the film here.

According to the Internet information available on http://www.geeksforgeeks.org, as on 6-3-2024, the First 10 biggest Cinema industries in the World are….

Country Speciality/ strong point
Hollywood In USA Blockbusters, Technology, Cultural Influence
Bollywood IN India Colourful Musical Dramas, Global Appeal
Nollywood IN Nigeria Prolific, Cost Effective, Family and Love Films
China Box Office Revenue, Infrastructure, Production Volume
United Kingdom Historical Epics, Strong Storytelling, Global Presence
South Korea High production Value, Innovative Storytelling, Thrillers
France Artistic Films, New Wave, Film Festivals
Japan Variety of Genres, Aesthetic Innovation, Samurai Epics
Italy Art Cinema, Compelling Storytelling, Visual Flair
Russia Epic Narratives, Historicals, Animation

From the above data, one can conclude that it is only the Indian industry which provides only entertainment. It was never famous for Innovative stories, Technical advances or Sci Fi films. The entire focus has been and is even today on giving entertainment. However, as I noticed from the last few years, there have been some subtle changes and a lot of films on National issues, National personalities and films highlighting people who mattered in the development of the country have been made and these have received massive support from the viewers, encouraging more such adventures. In due course it surely will reflect on the Indian film industry in the world’s eyes.
