Yeh Nazdeekiyan (1982)

Pandit Raghunath Seth did not give music to too many films. But he is a world renowned classical exponent of Hindustani music. His medium is the bamboo flute. In 1994, he received the coveted Sangeet Natak Academy Award. See his picture in the attached photograph below. He is to the right playing the bansuri. Music of this film by Sethji is simply superb.

Vinod Pande produced, acted, wrote lyrics for three songs, and directed this film. See his picture in the attached photograph below. He is to the left in the picture. Pande, a controversial genius, has been associated with several thought provoking movies like "Ek Baar Phir (1979)", "Ek Naya Rishta (1988)", "Sach (1989)", "Sins (2005) (in English)", and others. In professional capacity, he edited films, wrote stories, screenplays, and dialogues as well. Interestingly, this film almost is identical in its central theme to another movie released this same year, "Arth" which also had Shabana in the lead.

There are several good songs in this film. Especially songs by Aziz, Bhupinder, Anuradha ("Maine Ek Geet"), and Asha (the title song) are treats to listen to. The standout song of the album is the unforgettable solo by Talat Aziz, "Aawaaragi Hamaari" with rich lyrics by Pande Saab.

Here are the songs from this beautiful album...

Bhavna (1984)

This movie revolved around a woman who will go to the extent of killing her best friend’s abusive husband and even her own philandering husband to protect her only sole possession, love for her son. The woman’s role was magnificently portrayed by one of our great actresses, Shabana Azmi. She was stunning transforming from a simple soul looking for a happy life but who has to endure travesties by suffering at the mercy of the men she trusted. The movie deals mainly with three men, all despicable in their scornful attitude towards women. The woman played by Shabana eventually triumphs dealing with these men in her own way. My big complaint about this film is that, according to its proceedings, there are no good men in this world.

Shabana was in almost every frame of the movie. She won the Filmfare Award as the Best Actress for her performance. Apart from Shabana’s memorable performance, another noteworthy feature of the film was its music. Bappi Lahiri, who has been one of our most prolific composers, goes with the subject matter here giving some of the best music of his career. Here he was working with another great one, Kaifi Azmi, as the lyricist. All three solos and the duet by Chitra Singh and the late great Jagjit Singh are simply outstanding.

The movie was produced by the late Guru Dutt’s younger brother Devi Dutt who dedicated it to Guru and Geetaji. Here are the beautiful songs from this film…

Hum Rahe Na Hum (1984)

This film was produced by Vijay Anand who also was in the film. It was directed by his nephew, Ketan Anand, son of his older brother Chetan Anand. Bappida gave the music, once again working with Kaifi Saab.

Here are the songs from this film...

Kahaan Tak Aasmaan Hai (1984)

Here is a beautiful album by Raghunath Sethji with several excellent songs in it. Azmi Saab is in top form here with great lyrics. This time Bhupinder and Asha were singing most of the songs. There are several haunting songs especially all three in which Bhupinder sings. Here is all the goodness...
