“Sarkaari Mehmaan”(1978) is by now an obscure movie, but I was aware of this movie when it was released. Seeing that it was a non Amitabh Bachchan movie, I considered it a B grade movie, not worth my time. Nevertheless, I was not averse to watch a movie if I could get to watch it free. When I used to return back from college in the evening, I came down by walk, which had the added advantage that I came across most movie halls of Ranchi that were located on a single road called Main Road. The newest cinema hall, which also happened to be located closest to my residence was called Sujata Cinema. I found out that while one needed to buy tickets while the movie began, no one checked tickets after half time. So one could wait for the half time when movie watchers came out to buy peanuts, popcorn etc. When they went back inside, their tickets was not checked again. So it was possible to enter the hall in the second half and sit in a vacant seat and watch the second half of the movie. I was able to watch a few flop movies (with very few ticket buyers for them) this way. If my memory is not playing tricks, this movie “Sarkaari Mehmaan”(1978) was one such movie. I entered the movie hall after second half, watched the movie and left the hall after THE END along with other bonafide movie watchers who had the misfortune of buying tickets of this movie.

Mukesh and his Actors – 07

As we draw towards the last few HF songs of Mukesh, it is becoming increasingly difficult to trace his unposted songs on the blog.

Of late, I pick up an artist (actor, co-singer, composer) and start the rigorous search on the blog to see if all the respective songs are covered. In this exercise, I am also realizing that I have myself covered the artist in one of my series in the past. 😊

Of course, I am yet to cover Raj Kapoor, Lata, Asha, and three duo-composers for whom Mukesh sang songs aplenty. The issue with such artists is that I must spend considerable time preparing the lengthy tables. However, they are quite important, and I will try to take up these marathon posts shortly. I am even contemplating breaking the songs decade-wise so that it is easy for me to cover them. Let me see what best can be done.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –12
————————————————-

The decade of 70’s saw many new playback singers try their talent and luck in establishing themselves in HFM. Quite a few of them were successful and one prominent singer amongst them is Anuradha Paudwal. The very name brings to memory her popular stint in singing filmi and NFS especially bhajans. Her works are well documented and available on the net. The wiki page on her has detailed description regarding her career, awards etc. As such, I shall skip writing on her works.

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 31
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Reuse phenomena is quite a prevalent feature in Hindi cinema. We are already at the 31st episode of this series, and I must say we have just scratched the surface. There are reuse songs, there are partial reuse songs, there are medleys of songs, and even in some cases, there is a wholesale reuse in the entire film. A great example is the 2002 film ‘Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar’. Bharat Shah, the producer of this film is an out and out die hard fan of Pancham Da, and this film showcases a dozen earlier hit songs of RD Burman.

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Remembrance Day- Laxmichhaya)
——————————————-———————————————

Today 09th May’2023 is the ‘remembrance anniversary’ of yesteryears actress and dancer Laxmichhaya.

She was born on 07th January’1948 and she passed away on 09th May’2004.

She had acted in many movies, mainly in role of dancer or club dancer I guess. Though I am not going to list all her movies here, I would like to mention the movie ‘Mera Gaaon Mera Desh-1971’ in which I likde her role the most and it has been my favorite movie too.

I first met him on screen in 1971. The film was ‘Mere Apne’, a story of a destitute old lady fallen on to hard times, intersecting with gang wars between young street smarts. I had heard his name before. In 1968, when Sunil Dutt launched his younger brother Som Dutt via his home production ‘Man Ka Meet’, one also read in the news that another new face was being introduced – name Vinod Khanna.
