Birthday greetings to the living music legend of the Hindi film industry, Sri #Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma (03/09).
The iconic music director duo #LaxmikantPyarelal is synonymous with Hindi film music, particularly its popular hits. Born on September 3, 1940, Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma is the son of the renowned trumpeter, Pandit Ramprasad Sharma, also known as Babaji. Under his father's guidance, Pyarelal started learning the violin at just 8 years old, dedicating 8 to 12 hours daily to practice. He further refined his violin skills under Goan musician Anthony Gonsalves. The song "My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves" from the film Amar Akbar Anthony is a tribute to Gonsalves, featuring music by the Laxmikant–Pyarelal duo.
At 12, Pyarelal began playing the violin in various studios, including Ranjit Studios, to support his family financially. His brother, Gorakh Sharma, also contributed by playing guitar for songs composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
The duo first gained widespread recognition with their music for the 1964 film Dosti, produced by Rajshri Productions. Despite relatively unknown lead actors, the film's memorable songs like "Chahoonga Main Tujhe Shaam Savere" and "Rahi Manwa" made it a hit. Many initially thought Laxmikant–Pyarelal was a single person. They won their first Filmfare Award for Best Music Director for Dosti, beating industry giants like Shankar–Jaikishan and Madan Mohan. Their subsequent work in films like Lootera, which featured famous Lata Mangeshkar songs, also gained fame.
By 1966, Laxmikant–Pyarelal had firmly established themselves in Bollywood. They continued to earn acclaim for their music in films like Aaye Din Bahar Ke and Pyar Kiye Jaa. In 1967, they had a series of hits, including the Golden Jubilee musical hit Farz, and other big-star films like Anita and Shagird. They won their second Filmfare Award for the film Milan.
Laxmikant–Pyarelal, along with contemporaries like Rahul Dev Burman and Kalyanji-Anandji, represented a new era in Bollywood music, overshadowing earlier composers. They were frequently chosen by major film producers and consistently delivered exceptional music.
Their significant collaboration with lyricist Anand Bakshi led to some of Bollywood’s most iconic songs, appearing in over 250 films. Anand Bakshi wrote the lyrics for all the films that earned Laxmikant–Pyarelal Filmfare Awards, except for their first. #RajeshKhanna also had a long-standing professional relationship with the duo, choosing them as the music directors for 26 of his films.
Another fruitful partnership was with singer Asha Bhonsle, who voiced numerous hits composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal, including chart-toppers like "Dhal Gaya Din" and "Hungama Ho Gaya." The latter song was re-recorded for the 2014 film Queen and became a massive hit again. Between 1980 and 1986, Asha Bhonsle was often the lead vocalist for their compositions. Laxmikant–Pyarelal also scored music for the Telugu film Majnu in 1987, which was well-received for its musical numbers.

Movie Ask Game #12 and #19
A response to @shimako, who wrote:
"12,18 and 19 for the movie asks if you still play it 😊. Love your blog btw!"
Thanks for the kind words! See this post for question #18 (the one about movie posters). The others are below.
12. Which movie has your favorite soundtrack?
Oh, so many good ones! I actually used to sort of collect soundtracks, and I couldn't possibly choose just one. I'm going to concentrate on instrumental soundtracks, rather than musicals or the "collection of pop songs" type of soundtrack. And I'm completely skipping Bollywood, because that would be another whole post! But here's a short list below...
Nino Rota's soundtracks for Romeo and Juliet (1968) and the lesser known Taming of the Shrew (1967) are both great.
John Williams' original Star Wars score (1977) is a classic for a very good reason!
Back to Shakespeare, Patrick Doyle's Henry V soundtrack (1989). I also like his soundtracks for Dead Again (1991) and Brave (2013).
Bryce Dessner's soundtrack for Cyrano de Bergerac (1991) is full of Baroque splendor and deserves to be better known.
Klaus Badelt et al for the original Pirates of the Caribbean (2006).
Harry Gregson-Williams for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010).
Absolutely anything by Joe Hisaishi for a Ghibli movie! I also really loved Cecile Corbel's soundtrack for The Secret World of Arietty (2010) and was appalled that the US release cut the last song.
19. What part of filmmaking do you find most interesting (ie. sound design, costuming, set design, etc)?
Well, of course, costuming is what I find interesting enough to have a whole blog about! But in addition to that, I'm rather fascinated by editing. It's amazing what a difference it can make in the focus of a scene or a film.

Sharmila Tagore in Bengali cinema is a beauty that captivates you but Sharmila Tagore in Hindi cinema is usually a million volt bolt of lightening that strikes you.
This song from An Evening in Paris (1967) alone is enough to convince just how stunning Sharmila Tagore is. Highly recommend watching the whole song, it's a whole experience and I think no amount of GIFs can do it justice.
youtube
Aradhana (1969)
Anupama (1966)
The propaganda in the main post mentions Sharmila Tagore's iconic beehive, but she also has the most on point eyeliner in 60s Bollywood.
If you survived the million volts here's Sharmila Tagore looking ethereal in Bengali cinema.
Sesh Anka (1963)
Barnali (1963)
Nayak (1966)
Propaganda
Sharmila Tagore (Apur Sansar, Kashmir ki Kali, An Evening in Paris)—She was adorable, an actual princess (through marriage), the first woman to wear a bikini in a Hindi film, and had, I would argue, the most iconic beehive hair in film history.
Pola Negri (The Wildcat, Men, A Woman Commands)—Legally obliged to submit her as she's from Poland, but also it is one of the greatest stars of silent film, both in Hollywood and Europe, so she has to be here. The og femme fatale and a fenomenal dramatic actress. And just so hot in this 1920s vamp style. Obviously her career slowed down in America with the introduction of sound movies, because of her accent and low voice. I'd say her voice is so much hotter thanks to that, but I'm just a simple simp. But then she made movies in Germany, and after the war she was even offered Gloria Swanson's role in "Sunset Boulevard'' but she declined. She was probably bisexual as after romances with Charlie Chaplin and Rudolf Valentino in the 20s, since the 1940s she lived with her 'female friend'.
This is round 3 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Sharmila Tagore propaganda:
"One of the most well-known Bollywood actresses of all time!"
Pola Negri:
A tempestuous green-eyed vamp of the silent screen, she tantalized with both her onscreen and offscreen romances. Rocked a Polish accent - well, once there was sound! A true proficient at promoting herself and using all possible tools to do so - from a dead Rudolf Valentino to a cheetah named Teddy, the latter of which she brought to a press conference.
First European actress to be contracted by Hollywood! She survived poverty and illness to become The Queen of Tragedy, she divorced a count to date stars like Charlie Chaplin and Rudolph Valentino, then spent the rest of her life living with Margaret West in what could have been a romantic relationship.
I don't have much to say about her actual career, personal life, etc. but I just need everyone to see how hauntingly beautiful her face is. I haven't been able to stop thinking about her since the first time I saw her LOL like its pretty clear why she was such a star

332: Talat Mahmood // Spring Blossoms
Spring Blossoms Talat Mahmood 1967, His Master's Voice
“Handsome, debonair Talat Mahmood has been the idol of listeners for the last several years. His mild mellow voice and expressive style makes him ideally suited for putting over on disc, lyrics with soulful poetic contents. The Geets and Ghazals rendered by him on this disc once again establish that he is the King of the Ghazal-singers and there is none to beat him in style and superb execution.”
That’s how a note on the back of the Spring Blossoms sleeve puts it, and I’ve few qualms. Mahmood’s voice is indeed as smooth as they come, and there is plenty of soul to these numbers, though the word several there is doing some strange work—by 1967 Mahmood had been a major star for a quarter century!
I’ve covered a couple of ghazal-related records in this series (see here and here), but as a refresher, the ghazal is a form of Arabo-Persian poetic ode (classically a simultaneous address to an absent lover and to God) that has remained popular in the East for nearly 1,500 years. The ghazal is based on metrically regular rhyming couplets, a repetitive structure which makes it easy to adapt to a musical form. Ghazals are found in both Indian art and pop music, and most of the legendary Bollywood playback singers (including Asha Bosle, Mohammad Rafi, and Lata Mangeshkar) had many in their repertoires.
The ghazal’s subject matter is inevitably rather blue, but they are also often celebratory in a mystically existential kind of way—life’s pain cannot be avoided, but a poet is allowed to twirl while he displays his wounds and counts his jutting ribs. In Mahmood’s case, any discomforting sorrow is pillowed by the gentle, velvet quaver in his voice. This is music which releases tears without leaving marks, like a bloodless surgery (don’t talk to me about reiki). Mind you, I don’t mean that as an attack on its sentimentality. Daily life for Mahmood’s audience was hard and tiring, and the opportunity to have their emotions tenderly exercised by beauty is a fine thing. These people didn’t need to have catharsis thrust upon them by the kinds of sonic or poetic terrorism that I, a sheltered western pervert, occasionally require to feel feelings. But I also enjoy this album a lot!
Spring Blossoms is quite pop for the standards of its pre-rock ‘n’ roll time and place, which is to say that it is slow, sweet, and elegant in an almost courtly way that has more in common tonally with western light classical or Eastern European folk than it does the Anglo-American pop of the period. Great titles too: “Those Who Listen to Me While Hugging Me, Know That My Love is Beautiful” sounds like Explosions in the Sky doing kids music, while “I Am Drunk, I Am Naked” could be either Rumi or Viagra Boys.

Kishore Kumar’s soulful voice was the perfect complement to Rajesh Khanna’s charming on-screen presence, and the two were able to create an unbeatable combination that captured the hearts of audiences across the country. Their collaborations remain an integral part of the Indian film industry’s legacy and have left an indelible mark on the hearts of generations of fans.
Conclusion
Kishore Kumar and Rajesh Khanna were an unbeatable combination in the 1970s. Their on-screen chemistry was undeniable, and their string of hits together cemented them as one of Bollywood’s most popular pairs. From light-hearted comedies like Chupke Chupke to tearjerkers like Amar Prem, they proved time and again that they had the range to tackle any genre. There will never be another team quite like Kishore Kumar and Rajesh Khanna. Their films defined a generation, and their impact is still felt today

Post # 119
Jarnail Hari Singh Nalwa
Mere Desh Ki Dharti Sona Ugle is a patriotic song from the 1967 Bollywood movie - Upkar, which cemented Manoj Kumar's brand as Bharat Kumar. The last para of that song goes like this...
This stanza eulogizes many well known Indian personalities - Gautam Buddha, Guru Nanak, Gandhiji, Subhash Chandra Bose, Rabindranath Tagore, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Bhagat Singh and Jawaharlal Nehru. Along with such eminent personalities, this song also mentions Hari Singh Nalwa. I hadn't heard about him until recently. I am not sure many people know him very well.
This post is about one of the greatest generals India has ever produced, the commander-in-chief of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's Sikh empire and a soldier who sent shivers through enemy ranks, but strangely whose name got lost in the annals of history - Jarnail Hari Singh Nalwa.
This fercious-looking man was born in Gujranwala, a city currently in Pakistan, famous for wrestling. His forefathers were officers in the Sikh army. But he lost his father when he was a kid.
In 1804, when he was in his teens, he was spotted by Maharaja Ranjit Singh in an annual talent hunt-cum- sporting event, where Hari Singh excelled in horse riding, sword fighting, wrestling and many competitive sports. He was inducted as one of Ranjit Singh's personal bodyguards.
One day, Maharaja Ranjit Singh and his retinue went to the jungle for hunting. Out of the blue, a tiger attacked Hari Singh and killed his horse. Declining help from others, Hari Singh is supposed to have single-handedly fought the tiger and killed it. Maharaja Ranjit Singh was so impressed that Hari Singh was given the titles Baagmaar (tiger-killer) and Nalwa (one with tiger-like-claws).
He was also recognized as a Sardaar and from here on he rose meteorically in Ranjit Singh's army to become his commander-in-chief, General, also called Jarnail.
Though he participated, planned or led dozens of battles, his most ferocious opponents were the Afghans. For centuries, Afghans would attack, loot, rape and plunder India.
They would enter India through the Kyber pass.
Hari Singh Nalwa took the Afghans on in the famed Battle of Jamrud in 1836, conclusively drove them away, and build a fort in Jamrud to ensure Khyber Pass was sealed for ever.
It is said that the Afghans weren't scared of the Brits, the Russians or the Americans - the three superpowers who tried to control them, but they were shit scared of Hari Singh Nalwa. It is also said that Afghan mothers used to threaten pesky kids that if they didn't mind their manners, Hari Singh Nalwa would come down to teach them a lesson. This is hard to believe, but harder still not to believe!
During his time, this is how big the Sikh empire became. He was, at various times, the Governor of Kashmir, Peshawar and Hazara.
He was also considered an able administrator. Maharaja Ranjit Singh had so much trust and faith in him as a loyal administrator that he allowed Hari Singh Nalwa to mint coins in his name.
Hari Singh Nalwa was also a town planner and architect. One of the towns founded by him is Haripur, which is still extant in Pakistan.
The story of his death is an unbelievable tale. In 1837, Dost Mohammed Khan, another Afghan, attacked Peshawar with a vast army. Though Hari Singh Nalwa was down with fever and camping elsewhere, he left for Peshawar immediately, sending request to Ranjit Singh for urgent reinforcements.
In Peshawar, he was fatally wounded and died. Before dying, he ordered his faithful lieutenants not to tell any one that he was dying. In order to boost the morale of his troops, he walked to the rampart of the fort so that enemy could see him and died standing in that posture.
The sight of Hari Singh Nalwa sent shivers down the Afghans. They waited one week before they realised he was dead. By that time, reinforcements had arrived. Hari Singh Nalwa lived a glorious life and died a glorious death.

Tributes to Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, the famous Urdu poet, writer, and Hindi film lyricist, on his 54th death anniversary today.
Raja Mehdi Ali Khan was a famed writer and lyricist who rose to stardom within the Hindi film industry in the late 1940s till the 1960s. Khan was greatly influenced by contemporary Urdu poets and writers, the first of which was his mother, Hebay Saheba. He went on to establish himself as a protean lyricist who could pen ballads of romance alongside spirited verses of patriotic fervor with equal ease.
Born in Karmabad (present-day Pakistan), Khan began his early tutoring under his mother Hebay Saheba. Khan then worked under renowned poet Dr. Allama Iqbal. These early influences greatly inspired his poetry. By the 1940s, Khan began working at All India Radio in Delhi. Khan's association with veteran Urdu writer, Sadat Hassan Manto brought him to Mumbai where he started working as a dialogue writer in Hindi film industry. Khan got his first break as a lyricist with Filmistan's film Do Bhai (1946). The songs of the film were very successful and he went on to pen song lyrics for countless films within a short period of time. These included Shaheed (1948), Actress(1948), Vidya (1948), and Ziddi (1948).
Khan's association with music composer, Madan Mohan created some immortal songs in films such as Ada (1961), Mera Saaya (1966), Woh Kaun Thi (1964), Neela Akash (1965), Anpadh (1962) and Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah (1967) amongst many others.
Raja Mehdi had also been associated with music composers like Khemchand Prakash, Bulo C Rani (Baghdad), S N Tripathi (Hatimtai, Paristaan), Shyam Sunder, Gulam Hyder, S D Burman, Ravi amd Roshan. He has given some wonderful songs with C. Ramchandra (Mere piya gaye Rangoon), O.P. Nayyar (Main Pyar Ka Raahi Hoon) and Laxmikant Pyarelal (for Anita and Jaal).
Raja Mehdi also worked with some lesser known composers like Basant Prakash (Nishan Danka), Iqbal Qureshi, Babul, S. Mohinder (Bekhabar, Paapi), Chic Chocolate (Rangoli), Rono Deb Mukerjhi (Tu Hi Meri Zindagi), Jimmy (Shrimatiji), N Dutta (Bhai Bahen), Nissar Bazmi (Khoj), Dhoomi Khan (Naqabposh), S Haridarshan (Shahi Bazaar), Robin Bannerjee (Masoom), etc.
Raja Mehdi Ali Khan was a close friend of great Urdu writer Saadat Hassan Manto. He wrote a character sketch of him namely “Main, Manto, Kaali Shalwar Aur Dhuwan”. He also wrote a poem in his memory “Jannat Se Manto Ka Ek Khat”.
After a successful career that lasted more than a decade, Khan subsequently withdrew from the Hindi film industry. However, he continued to publish his poetry and short stories such as 'Biswin Sadi', 'Shama Bano' and 'Khilona’ till his death in 1996.
He breathed his last on July 29, 1966, leaving behind a treasure of songs that are still cherished by all lovers of poetry in film songs.

”Baghon Mein Bahar Hai” 1969—>2005 . . One of India's oldest recording companies, Saregama owns almost half of all the music ever recorded in the country. They filed suit against The Timothy Mosley (a.k.a. “Timbaland”), G-Unit Records, Inc., Desperado Entertainment Inc., WB Music Corp., Universal Music & Video Distribution Inc., Universal Music Group, Interscope Records, and Aftermath Entertainment over an unclered sample from the movie “Aradhana,” (1967). . ”In December 2009, the district court denied Saregama's motion on two grounds: 1. The agreement between Shakti (the music composer) and Saregama was on an exclusive basis for a period of two years only. Saregama had neither established that the BMBH song had been recorded during this period, granting it copyright ownership, nor did it establish ownership through any other means. 2. The Bollywood song BMBH and The Game's song PYOG were not substantially similar and that the digital sampling of BMBH in PYOG was not, therefore, legally actionable.” . It seems like @timbaland was pretty good at wining sampling lawsuit back in 2011...
