(Music Composer R.D. Burman’s Remembrance Anniversary)

Today 4th January’2026 is the 33rd Remembrance Anniversary of Rahul Dev Burman fondly known as Pancham.

Rahul Dev Burman was born on 27th June 1939 and he passed away on 4th January 1994 at the age of just 54.

On this occasion we are presenting songs composed by Pancham that had not been covered before. In this post we cover a song from the 1987 movie ‘Itihaas’, which is a lesser known movie that has been forgotten with time.

‘Itihaas-1987’ was an unsuccessful movie in terms of box-office success. It was directed by V. Joshi for ‘Navjeevan Productions Pvt. Ltd., Bombay’. Tito was the producer of this movie which was passed by Censor Board on 30.01.1987. Sources mention that this movie was a remake of director V. Joshi’s own movie ‘Itihasam-1981’ in Malayalam and remade in Tamil as ‘Theerpu’ in the year ‘1982’.

The cast of the Hindi movie ‘Itihaas-1987’ had Raaj Kumar, Shabana Azmi, Rati Agnihotri, Anil Kapoor, Mohnish Behl, Danny Denzongpa, Suresh Oberoi, Nameeta Chandra, Dinesh Hingoo, Master Suresh, Hanifa, Ramesh Goel, Prema Narayan, Leena Das, Iftekhar, Jalal Agha, Raj Mehra and others.

‘AANKHIN DEKHI-1978’ seems to be an obscure movie of its time as I could not find any video of this movie or its songs on internet. Not much information is avilable about the story of this movie or its trivia, except the details given in Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980). Rajinder Singh Bedi ji was the director of this movie. It was a ‘Dachi Films, Bombay’ presentation and it was passed by Censor Board on 18.12.1978.

There has been very few Hindi films produced with the main theme of Indian classical dances. As far as I know, the first Hindi film with Indian classical dances as the main theme was Uday Shankar’s ‘Kalpana’ (1948) in which his wife, Amla Shankar was in the lead role of a classical dancer. This was followed by V Shantaram’s ‘Jhanak Jhanak Paayal Baaje’ (1955) in which his then future wife, Sandhya was in the lead role of a classical dancer along the Gopikrishna. Another Hindi film I remember is ‘Naache Mayuri’ (1986) which was more like a biographical film on the classical dancer, Sudha Chandran who lost her leg but continued her dancing career after lot of efforts. In this film, Sudha Chandran acted as herself.

There may be a few more films with the omnibus dance theme. I was aware of the film, ‘Paayal Ki Jhankaar, (1980) but, until recently, I did not know that this film was also made with the main theme of Indian classical dances. Perhaps, my mind about this film may have been prejudiced by another film with the same name released in 1968.

‘Solvaan Saawan’ (1978) was produced by A.S.R. Anjaneyulu and was directed by Bharthi Rajaa. The cast included Amol Palekar, Sridevi, Adil Amaan, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Sajjan, Madhukar, Deena Pathak, Savita Bajaj, Vijayalakshmi, Rajeshwari etc. The film was Bharathi Rajaa’s first foray in Hindi films as a director. This was Sridevi’s first Hindi film in a lead role. The film was entirely shot in Jharkhand in a month’s time in rural region. Hence, it was decided to write dialogues with a mix of Hindi and Bhojpuri languages. The film got a very limited theatrical release on January 22, 1979.

Playback singer and composer Sharda passed away on 14 June 2023. On her Remembrance Day today, I bring this post as a tribute in continuation to the recent two posts wherein Mukesh’s association under her compositions and a co-singer in their duets were covered.
Links to the two posts are provided below for reader’s ready reference.
Mukesh and his Co-Singers –14
Mukesh and his Composers – 35

There is nothing much to add from my knowledge to whatever I have already covered in my two aforesaid posts. But then, when I start writing, I keep writing. 😊

So, here we go again.

# Singer Yesudas’s Birthday #
————————————————————

Today 10th January 2025 is the eighty-fifth birthday of Singer Yesudas (born on 10.01.1940). As of now the statistics page on the blog doesn’t mention the total number of songs Yesudas has sung for Hindi movies. I am sure we will be adding these details soon with one of his songs here. In one of my earlier post I had given the filmography of Yesudas from his debut in Hindi films up to the year 1980. This figure has 84 songs from 52 films. So far, we have not even touched these 84 songs of him on the blog. That means we still have a long way to go before we can cover aa Yesudas songs. Today on his 85th birthday we have already covered two songs sung by him. I am adding one more to his tally today.
