(Rajendra) Talaq (1958)

Kamini Kadam, born Manik Kadam, was introduced in a Marathi film, “Yere Maazya Magalya”, in 1955 under the name of Smita. After acting in a number of Marathi films she was introduced to Hindi film audience in the name of Kamini Kadam in Mahesh Kaul-directed “Talaq” in 1958. She acted in only six Hindi films, three of them with Rajendra Kumar (“Talaq” in 1958, “Santan” in 1959, and “Maa Baap” in 1960”). Her last Hindi film was “Sapne Suhane” released in 1961. Then Kadam completely disappeared from the film scene but made a comeback in a Kannada film in 1967, "Krantiveera Sangolli Rayana". She passed away the following year.

In “Talaq”, Kamini in some scenes appear to mimic Madhubala, especially in her mannerisms. The movie was written and co-produced by Pt. Mukhram Sharma. With the topic of divorce as the central theme, the movie fails to establish any convincing reasons that force the couple to separate. The ensuing drama was not compelling and leaves much to be desired.

The movie brought the music director C. Ramchandra and the lyricist Kavi Pradeep back together. They worked in nearly ten films and the association was fruitful in coming up with several good hits. The last time they were together before this film was in “Nastik” released in 1955. That film boasted some of the best songs of their collaboration. “Talaq” has some good songs but it pales in comparison with the caliber of songs from “Nastik”.

Several songs from this film appear more than once. These include “Nayi Umar”, “O Baabu”, and “Dukhiyon Pe”. But the wordings are the same as well as the song. Therefore, I am not uploading these second versions.

I am uploading the songs from this film and some of the music clips from the film, all ripped from a DVD, in two back-to-back posts. A word of caution. The quality of the sound from the DVD was uneven. This also reflects in the songs.

Here are the songs from this film…

(Amitabh) Laawaris (1981)

Thanks to some fine songs and good performances from the principal actors, this rehash of several hit movies from Prakash Mehra, became a huge hit. The signature song of the album was "Mere Angne Mein". Even though both female and male versions became very popular, it was Amitabh's that swept the nation away. In one poll, I read somewhere, it was declared as the song of the 80's decade. I am uploading these songs from an original soundtrack album in back-to-back two posts.

As a side note, a recent Hindi film, “Housefull, released in 2010, had a song which borrows heavily from the hit Kishoreda’s song from this film, “Apni To Jaise Taise”. The song from "Housefull" was composed by the trio Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy was sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, Mika, and Sajid Khan.

Here are the songs in the first post...

Concluding Songs from "Laawaris (1981)"...

Here are the rest of the songs from this popular album...

(Dharmendra) Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973)

Here is a beautiful musical from RD. Kishoreda has some lovely numbers in it. But to me the standout song, one of my all-time favorite songs, is the duet by Asha & Rafi Saab, the beautiful "Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko". I was attending one of Ashaji's concerts where she told the audience how this song evolved. RD was thinking about it for some time in his mind and suddenly he knew what to do. He had Asha accompany him to bazaar to buy some wine glasses. They returned to the studio and RD created this tune using clinking of the wine glass with a spoon and had Asha and Rafiji sing the song to its accompaniment.

Nasir Hussain, who directed this movie, originally wanted Asha Parekh, his favorite star, to be the leading lady. But Asha was readying herself to go on a tour abroad with her dancing troupe and was not immediately available. Zeenat readily accepted when the role was offered to her.

One of the delightful music pieces is the long number performed by the trio Asha, Kishore and RD, "Aap Ke Kamre Mein Koi Rehta Hai". In spite of its length, the song entertains. The title song also was a hugely popular number.

Neetu Singh, who started as a child star, was promoted to adult roles the previous year in 1972. The film she starred in that year, “Rikshawala”, flopped. Producers were shying away to make any more adult role offers to her. When producer and director Nasir Hussain approached her to be in a dance number in this film, she readily accepted it. The hit song “Lekar Hum” was picturized on her. Her eye catching dress and eye popping dance moves got immediate attention. This dance number gave her career an immediate boost and revived her career for good.

That is Aamir Khan, current day’s hot star, playing the role of the youngest brother in the film when they were all children. This was his debut movie. Nearly 17 years later, he made the debut as an adult in his uncle Nasir Hussain’s “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1989)” which was a super hit and immediately established him as a star to look forward to in the future.

This movie was made into several other languages, notably in the South. All of them were hits.

Here are the songs from this popular album...

(Jeetendra) Dharti Kahe Pukar Ke (1969)

(Raaj) God And Gun (1995)

Raaj made only one more movie after this, "Jawaab", also in 1995. Since Raaj started his career in 1952, many things have changed in the 43 years he worked in the film industry. Most of the old stalwarts of the industry either passed away or passed the baton to the next generation, sometimes to the members of their own families. For example, take the music directors of this film, Anand & Milind, who are the sons of the great music director of yesteryears Chitragupt. Also the lyricist, Sameer. Son of another great lyricist of yesteryears, Anjaan. The old singers gave way to the new ones. These include the new set of singers, like Abhijeet, Arun Bakshi, Kumar Sanu, Poornima, Sadhna Sargam & Udit Narayan. These are the singers in this album.

Here are the songs from this album...

(Rajendra) Ayee Milan Ki Bela (1964)

Here is a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining movie. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful music. Beautiful songs. Even after 47 plus years these songs haven't lost their charm. Shankar & Jaikishan during early 60's simply couldn't do anything wrong. Everything they touched was a winner. Rightfully so. You can feel their unabated creative energies flowing endlessly with Rafi Saab and Lata equally brilliant playing their part with superb singing. Most of the movies became huge hits because they were all musical blockbusters with so many memorable songs that are still heartwarming to listen to even today.

This beauty of an album by Shankar & Jaikishan has just one after another melodious song. It boasts some of the great solos of Rafi Saab who brings life to the rich and inspired lyrics of Hasrat Jaipuri, like "Bura Maan Gaye", "Main Pyaar Ka Diwaana", and "Tum Kamsin Ho". This album also has one of my favorite Lata's solo, "Tumko Hamaari Umar Lag Jaaye". The song stays fresh forever and each time you listen to it sways you away because of its rich lyrics and the way Lata delivers it. Melodious. Mesmerizing. It was a typical signature song that S&J had in most of his movies, yet they always sounded fresh with their sweetness that made them so endearing.

In this movie Rajendra Kumar was the hero and Dharmendra had a secondary role. Dharmendra still was an up and coming actor. But his presence on the screen in this movie was dynamite. His dashing looks, rugged mannerisms, and good performance scorched the screen. Even though his role was negative, every scene he appeared with Rajendra, Dharam was simply dominating. You can see that he will be one of those actors worth watching for in the coming years.

I am uploading songs from this album on request in two back-to-back posts. The first post contains all the songs from the film from an original soundtrack album. The second post contains several extended versions.

Dear Swarapriya,

Could you please upload songs of

Ganga Ki Laharen (1964) and
Banarasi Thug (1962)

Thanks
Pratul

Will do. Cheers. -S

(Manoj) Banarasi Thug (1962)

Here is one of the early films of Manoj. The movie had its moments but the real hightlights include the performance of I.S. Johar and the music of Iqbal Qureshi Saab. Johar, the comedian actor, played the role of a comic villain. The extra touch he gave to the character was that he recites "shairi" couplet before he says anything. This happens every time he is on the screen. I thought this was some what unique.

The second highlight of the movie was its music. Iqbal Qureshi Saab hasn't given music to too many movies. But whenever he worked, he seemed to have the magic touch. Apart from this film, some of his hit music was in the films like "Bindiya" in 1960, "Cha Cha Cha" in 1964, "Love in Simla" in 1960, "Oomar Qaid" in 1961, and others. I am uploading these songs in two back-to-back posts. These are ripped from a DVD.

(Amitabh) Naseeb (1981)

This popular entertainer was a rehash of “Amar Akbar Anthony (AAA)” that was directed by Manmohan Desai. “AAA” was released in 1977. Both films, “AAA” and “Naseeb”, have a huge star cast and Amitabh was on a roll as an actor during 70’s and early 80’s. Besides, Desai, during these same years had the Midas touch. He made one hit movie after another. At one time he had 13 silver jubilee hits. Till today the record is unsurpassed. Given all this, the film “Naseeb” was all fluff and not much stuff. It had nothing new to offer but entertainer it was.

I read in some interview Waheeda gave that she never acted opposite Shammi Kapoor in a movie as his heroine. This is incredible. They did appear in Manmohan Desai's "Allah-Rakha" in 1986, but not as lovers. While Desai was shooting for "Naseeb" he wanted to include several stars as guests in the song "John Jani Janardhan". When he approached Shammi to appear as a guest, Shammi apparently suggested that he would like to appear with Waheeda. Desai agreed. In the song sequence of "John Jani", they appear together hand-in-hand.

I am uploading these songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. These are from an original soundtrack album. Here is a description of the songs and the songs themselves in the first post…

Concluding Songs from "Naseeb (1981)"...

Here are the rest of the songs from this album. The bit song by Anwar is thanks to the courtesy of our Forum member Dharmaan Khan Saab.

Now for the songs...

(Dharmendra) Ganga ki Lahren (1964)

Savithri was one of the greatest actresses of Telugu cinema, if not our times. If she were a Hindi actress, she would be right up there with Meena Kumari and Nargis. During 50’s and 60’s she was the reigning queen of both Telugu and Tamil films. She had the top billing in most of the movies. Her presence generally guaranteed success.

Savithri started as a bit star in Telugu films like “Samsaaram” and “Patala Bhairavi”. When the producers gambled to take her to play Parvati in the classic “Devadasu (1953)” in Telugu opposite Akkineni Nageshwara Rao (ANR), many felt it was foolhardy. But when the film was released she received rave reviews for her performance matching ANR scene for scene and the movie enjoyed unprecedented success. After this then there was no turning back for Savithri.

“Devadasu” was also made and released in Tamil with the same pair at the same time and was also a resounding hit. This made Savithri a sought after star in Tamil as well. She continued to act in both languages and had a string of major hits to her credit. She ventured into Hindi movies when S.S. Vasan offered her a supporting role in “Bahut Din Huye” in 1954 with Madhubala in the lead. Subsequently she also appeared in “Ghar Basake Dekho (1963)” with Manoj Kumar, “Ganga Ki Lahren (1964)” with Dharmendra, and “Balram Shri Krishna (1968)” in which Prithviraj Kapoor was her costar.

Savithri’s crowning achievement as an actress came with the film “Chivaraku Migiledi (1960)”. She received the National Award for Best Actress for her brilliant and memorable performance in that film. This was a remake of the Bengali movie starring Suchitra Sen. It was remade into Hindi with Waheeda as “Khamoshi (1969)”.

Savithri was married to the Tamil actor Gemini Ganeshan, father of the actress Rekha. Ganeshan already had several wives. The less I say about this better. Later on they got separated. The depression of the separation was devastating to Savithri. Her life took for a sorry turn and in the end when she passed away at the young age of 44 she was broke and helpless and very heartbroken.

How come all these brilliant actors seem to leave us so young leaving us to reminisce the rich legacy they left with us? It seems like fate plays such cruel joke with their personal lives. They seem to be on the top of the world giving so much pleasure with their many memorable performances in the films they act in and yet they are not able to manage their own personal lives. A real pity.

There is a web site dedicated to Savithri, who acted in nearly 250 movies, mostly in Tamil and Telugu. The URL for this web site is: savithri.info

Songs from this album were recently uploaded in this thread and are available starting at the following location...

(Raaj) Jawab (1995)

This was the last movie of Raaj Kumar's professional career. Along the way he had won the Filmfare Award for a Best Supporting Actor a couple of times. His dialogue delivery set him apart from most of his contemporaries and he enjoyed more or less a uniform career without too many bumps.

After debuting in "Rangeela" in 1952, Raaj went on to act in over 70 movies in a span of 43 years. We had an opportunity to take a look into the songs and music of most of these films since the past two years. I am happy that I had an opportunity to share this pleasure given by these songs and their music with you.

I am uploading songs from this album in two back-to-back posts. By the way is the song "Duniya Se", in the first post, sung by Kumar Sanu instead of Vinod Rathod as noted? If indeed it is Rathod, he sounds so close to Sanu. Also, I do not have a breakdown of lyricist assignments. If anyone can help with this, I will be thankful.

Now for the songs...

Concluding Songs from "Jawab (1995)"...

Here are the rest of the songs from this album...

(Rajendra) Love Story (1981)

Rajendra Kumar produced and directed this film, besides acting in it, to launch his son Kumar Gaurav as an actor. The film also introduced Vijayta Pandit as the heroine. The movie was a huge hit thanks to its hit beautiful music by RD that gave hugely popular songs. Amit Kumar won the Filmfare Award as the Best Male Playback Singer for the song "Yaad Aa Rahi Hai". By the way, Nasir Husain's "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak" that launched Aamir Khan as a hero, a 1989 film, had several scenes lifted from this film.

Incidentally, even though the movie was a huge hit, the glory that brought to its principal actors, Vijayta Pandit and Kumar Gaurav, was short lived. Neither one of them did much after this initial success. Gaurav did appear in few other films but overall he enjoyed only a limited success as an actor.
