Hullo Atuldom

19th July. The birth-date of our blog. The blog completes 10+2 years of uninterrupted posting of songs and write ups that give details about the movie, lyricist, music director, actors, etc. Also we can find the synopsis of the concerned movies here on the blog. What we get here is also accurate lyrics for all the songs posted. And if the song is a multi-version song even that is mentioned here along with the lyrics for the second version too, even if there is no change in the wordings of the song.

I was aware that today is the birth anniversary of Pran, but I was not aware that today is his 100th birth anniversary !

It was on this day 100 years ago that Pran (12 February 1920 – 12 July 2013) was born.

Rafi Sb – In The Seventies – 7

(1974 – Solo)

This is turning out to be a very endearing and a very wonderful revisit to the songs that used to be ‘by heart’ in the school days and radio listening days. I have somewhere the notebooks stashed away, in which I and my sister used to pencil in these songs. Even Atul ji has acknowledged it. In a personal response in email, he mentioned that these are the songs that he had written in his notebook, next to cricket scores of important test matches. 🙂 These songs from the 1970s, generally introduced to our nascent minds and memories over the radio, are some of the dearest treasures ensconced in our hearts. In most cases, the familiarity was just with the song, without any details of films and other credits. That information would come later. First, it was simply the song that made its way inside and has simply been there since.

It is time for the alphabet ‘M’ in the A-Z of Rafi songs series. I have taken my time in deciding which type songs are a must in the series and accordingly have almost finalised the songs in this list. Initially, when planning this series I just made a random selection of songs for ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ to start it on time with Rafi sahab 33rd death anniversary.

The year is 1972, and Salil Da has completed two decades in the film industry. Making his debut with the 1953 Bimal Roy production, ‘Do Bigha Zameen’, he continues to be a fairly busy music director in the early 70s. Somewhat unassuming, somewhat low key, his creations continue to catch one’s ear as well as one’s fancy. During the 50s and 60s, he has made his mark with such films that have become memorable on account of his music – ‘Biraj Bahu’ (1954), ‘Jaagte Raho’ (1956), ‘Musaafir’ (1957), ‘Ek Gaon Ki Kahaani’ (1957), ‘Madhumati’ (1958), ‘Parakh’ (1960), ‘Chhaayaa’ (1961), ‘Kabuliwaala’ (1961), ‘Half Ticket’ (1962), ‘Poonam Ki Raat’ (1965) etc. The seventies have emerged and Salil Da already has films like ‘Anand’ (1971) and ‘Mere Apne’ (1971) under his belt. In 1972, his melodies from ‘Annadaata’ are making waves on the radio. In 1972, Salil Da will also compose for two more films that did not get retained on the memory cards of the listening public. One is ‘Sabse Bada Sukh’ that has two wonderful songs. And the second is an even more obscure film, ‘Anokha Daan’, which carried as many as five superb melodies.

Yesterday Peevesie’s mom made her debut as a lyrics contributor by sending the lyrics of a song from “Taxi Taxie” (1977). The movie may be of recent vintage, but little information is available about this movie. That is where we can always log on to our inhouse encyclopaedia and get all the details. Here is what our walking encyclopaedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh has to say about this movie:-
