*"O Saathi Chal"...Song of the Day

Let’s start Sunday with one of my favourite, G P Sippy’s 1972 comedy drama film *”Seeta Aur Geeta”* directed by Ramesh Sippy. 

The film starred Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Sanjeev Kumar and Hema Malini. They were supported by Manorama , Roopesh Kumar, Satyen Kappu, Pratima Devi, Honey Irani, Asrani and Kamal Kapoor. 

Hema Malini won the Filmfare best actress award for the film.

The film was remade in Tamil as Vani Rani (1974) and in Telugu as Ganga Manga (1973), both starring Vanisri.

Hema Malini's co stars Sanjeev Kumar and Dharmendra were both her admirers those days.

First film to release at Gaiety Galaxy theater in Mumbai.

At the success party of the film producer GP Sippy told his son director Ramesh Sippy that they should make an action film with Dharmendra and Hema Malini and ultimately the first root of classic Sholay. was developed as they both were paired opposite each other in Sippy's next film Sholay.

Dialogues between Hema and Sanjeev as she teaches Sanjeev how to roller skate,was used in the song "Concrete Gang" by Billy Bushkiller from the album " Brown Dal".

Hawa Ke Saath Saath Ghata Ke Sang Sang O Saathi Chal. The tune of a portion of the song's mukhda was reused by J.V. Raghavulu in the mukhda of the Telugu film song "Banthulaata" ("Bhayam Bhayam", 1986)

Today’s song is one of the finest songs of yesteryears. The song is sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. It is picturised on Sanjeev Kumar and Hema Malini. Anand Bakshi is the lyricist and R D Burman is the music director.

Reading the above list of creme de la creme of the who is who of the Hindi film industry at that time gives us an idea of what a rage this song must have been. I who lived through that age can vouch for the fact that this song was sheer magic, in addition to the sheer melodious music.

*"O Saathi Chal" * lyrics by Anand Bakshi, composed by R D Burman and sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle 🎤🎵🎶🎧

राम नौमी की शुभकमाइये 🙏🏻🌟

They were supported by Ranjeet, Nirupa Roy, Kadar Khan, Shreeram Lagoo, Ram Sethi, Goga Kapoor, Sulochana and Amjad Khan.  This was Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna's final movie together, ending one of the greatest duos in Bollywood. Before Vinod Khanna's passing, he worked with Bachchan's son Abhishek in Players in 2012. The film's set collapse right after they finished shooting. Hearing the loud thud,the cast came all out from their makeup room too see what happened. It was so serious that had any actor been present,they would have not survived. The only film of Prakash Mehra and Amitabh in which Amitabh dies in the end. At first the producers wanted to offer the role of Vinod Khana to Shatrughan Sinha.Later it was felt that the role should be given to someone who is...

Science of Namaste 🙏

Namaste”  or  “Namaskar”  is one of the oldest forms of greetings in the world. Most commonly it is followed in India, Nepal, Thailand, and few other countries. According to  “Vedas”,  (a religious scripture/ritual of Hinduism) was composed from 1200 to 400 BC. This type of greeting practice is over a billion years old. The fundamental of Hinduism is believing in the  “ SOUL ”  (which is non-destructive) and not the  “ BODY ”  (which gets destroyed with age). The body is just a carrier of a soul. When we join our palms and fingers together, few amazing things happen that most of us may be unaware of. In physical science, while joining our palms and fingers together, fingertips get hard-pressed and that stimulates pressure points in our Brian (influences good memory), Eyes, and Ears. This generates inner energy. One bows-head in surrender to the soul ( not  the human body) with gratitude. Allowing the other soul, a  ...
