(Javed Akhtar) Mr. India (1987)

Originally Salim & Javed wrote the story of this film with Amitabh in mind. But Amitabh decided to not act in the movie version of the story as he felt it did not offer too much acting scope where the hero has to disappear in many scenes. For nearly two years no one wanted to make the movie. Then the writing duo decided to make a major change to the story. They introduced the character “Mogambo” played by Amrish Puri. With this change, this time Boney Kapoor decided to make the film.

The movie became very successful thanks mainly due to some fine songs and the performances by the three principal actors; Sridevi, Anil Kapoor, and Amrish Puri. The movie also established Anil Kapoor as a dependable hero.

Almost all songs with Akhtar Saab’s fine lyrics became huge hits. The songs like “Hawa Hawaii”, “Zindgai” and others were chart busters. My favourite song from this album is the duet by Alisha and Kishoreda, “Kaate Nahin”. I am uploading these and other songs from this film and some instrumentals in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…

(Majrooh) Ek Hi Rasta (1956)

After moving to Delhi from Lahore during partition, a well-educated B.R. Chopra (Bal Raj Chopra) directed his first movie “Karwat” in 1949. However it was his second film “Afsana” released in 1951 that brought him fame and fortune. It had Ashok Kumar playing a dual role. It was later remade by Chopra as “Dastan” in 1974 with Dilip Kumar but it failed to click.

In 1956 he founded his own production company, BR Films. His maiden production was this film, “Ek Hi Raasta”. The movie tackled social problems a young widow faces in this society. It also dealt with the subject of widow remarriage. The movie was a huge hit.

Besides finely made and beautifully acted by its principles, the film had the soul stirring music composed by Hemantda. Mostly composed in classical vein, all songs were huge hits. Ravi Shankar Sharma (popularly known as Ravi) was its assistant music director. Earlier in 1954 Ravi collaborated with Hemantda by playing the “been” music for Hemantda’s another super hit “Nagin”.

Younger brother of BR, Yash Raj (popularly known as Yash Chopra) was one of the assistant directors of this film. I am uploading all songs and some music clips in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…

(Shailendra) Pooja (1954)

This is another Shankar & Jaikishan early album that has some beautiful numbers. The highlight of the album is the classical song in Madhuvanthi raag, “Room Jhoom”. This was sung beautifully by Krishna Rao Shankar Pandit and Rafi Saab. I found a live recording of this song that I am including here. It is a great rendition even though I am not clear who the singers are. Here is this and other songs from this fine album…

(Anand Bakshi) Jabse Tumhen Dekha Hai (1963)

Here are the songs from this film...

DSP,
Thanks for one more gem!

In the movie, all the songs are by Shailendra Mahan except this only qawwalli by Anand Bakshi Sahab, & it had made him the show stealer lyricist ….. ‘Tumhe Hushn Deke Khuda Ne..’.

I also loved his another qawwalli from Kala Samander ‘Meri Tasveer Lekar Kay Karoge’.

During ‘golden era’, ‘qawwalli’ was a trend in every movie. Gone are the days now

During the sixties era, Rafi & Lata had partitioned hence IMO the female singers in this qawwalli are Asha & Suman (not Lata). Pl comment.

BTW, uploading sweet humming by Geeta Bali ‘Ye Din, Din Hain Khushi Ke’, coutesy of HFM..

Thanks for the snippet USR. About the qawwali singers. You could be right. I am hoping someone with the KOSH can come forward and clarify this.

Thanks again.

(Javed Akhtar) Tezaab (1988)

This movie was a huge hit and established Madhuri Dixit as a star to reckon with. Anil Kapoor followed his previous year hit "Mr. India" with this another great hit. The song "Ek Do Teen" written by Akhtar Saab became so popular that Madhuri was nicknamed "Ek Do Teen " girl. I am uploading this and other popular songs from this album in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs...
