Does someone out there in RMIM know what the last song Kishoreda sang was and
who it was picturised on ?
I think Mukesh's last song was for Raj Kapoor (who else ?!) in Dharam Karam
It goes something like
Ek din bith jaayega maati ke mol
Jag mein rah jaayega pyaare tere bol
..............
----- and so on -----
What about Rafi ? What was his last song and who was it picturised on ?

i always thought Rafi's last movie (for which he gave vocals) was a dharmendra-
hema malini movie.. something like aas-paas or something.. there was one
particular rumaali (sentimental) song in the movie which they always showed
on Rafi's shradhhanjali on doordarshan..(ofcourse like many times before, i can
be horrendously wrong ;)

That made me wonder, why not have people compile a list of "good"
Marathi films as well? Also I wonder if some discussion on this
subject could be possible?
I think it is safe to assume that the Marathi theater is a better
recognized and more established institution than the silver screen (it
is, isn't it?). Still, there are good Marathi films and I would
like to see them (even though it is so difficult to find a store
that rents out Marathi films, even in a big city like Detroit).
One question though. Why is it that most Marathi films that I have
seen have one of two themes:
a. Complete tamasha (a la Dada Kondake style) or,
b. Story of people caught in complete poverty (e.g., Sham Chi Aai)
and total tear jerkers (I remeber crying hopelessly during that
film). I think the poverty deal can be attributed to the general
living conditions of Maharashtrians at that time (pre and close
post independence, and some people may say, even now). Now this
*is* a sweeping remark, but I think it does hold some value.
With that here's a tiny list of good Marathi films that I have seen.
1. Pinzra
2. Samna
3. Simhasan (my favorite)
4. Ofcourse, Sham Chi Aai
I have seen others but they've been baaaad.
Now turning to the theatre, the plays that I have been to have been
simply amazing with such great writers as Vasant Kanetkar, Jaywant
Dalwi, Vijay Tendulkar. Unfortunately, in Bangalore, we don't get
to see as many plays as one would like to. Here's a list of plays that
I can remember (and *all* were good). I saw some of these such a
long time back that I barely remember their titles.
1. Raygadla JeNvaH Jaag Yete (with Prabhakar Panshikar)
2. Gaath Aahey Mazhashi
3. Suryasta
4. Gosht Janmantrechi (sp?)
5. Aai Retire Hotay
6. Gharo Gharee Heech Boamb (comedy, and I forget the comedian in this)
7. and more recently, Doctor, Tumhi Suddha?
Care to add to these lists and give an intro to the Marathi theatre?

I think Raj Kapoor himself acted in Dharam Karam. It was releases in mid
70s'. Muskeh DEFINITELY did NOT sing his last song for this movie.
He sang the last song for Satyam Shivam Sundaram, and I've heard that
right after the recording ended at about 11:00 PM, he left Bombay for
the last trip to US.

I forgot the wordings of Kishorda's last song. But I'm sure it's
from movie "Pati Patni aur Tavaayaf" *ing Mithun, Farah and Salma
Aaaga. That song was in Cibaca Top 10 for year 1991.

"Aamhi Jaato Amuchya Gaava"
: Then, "haa khel saavlyancha" was a good suspence thriller... (songs were
: very good... among soundtracks, Pinzra is the best ofcourse)..
: Among the drama, i always prefer comedies.. some real fun ones were..
: Premachya gaava jaave (when arvind deshpande starred in it)
: Shantecha kaarta chaalu aahe (laxmikant berde b4 he started overdoing his act)
: moruchi maavshi (vijay chauhan)
: all the three are available on video, and neither is to be missed.

I have often wondered about the themes too. I prefer light, and funny themes
to the dark themes in all movies/plays. I have no idea why we cannot make
movies in India with good clean fun, like Golmaal, without the dark overtones
of poverty, injustice, suffering etc. thrown in. Something to do with the
culture, perhaps?
As for Dada Kondake, I have not seen any of his movies, but I suppose he
knows his market, judging from his stupendous success. Frankly, the bulk of
the Marathi moviegoers are NOT in Bombay/Pune but in the other cities and
towns of Maharahstra. Unlike other states, Maharashtra does not have Marathi
programming content requirements on movie theatres...I suppose it is better
this way.
Among Marathi movies, I remember "Umbartha"(threshold) (remade in Hindi as
"Subah") with Smita Patil.
"Jyet Re Jyet" ("I won" in some rural Marathi dialect) was another great
movie, again with Smita Patil and Mohan Agashe (I think).
In plays:
"Katyaar Kaaljat Ghusali" (a dagger went through my heart) was a great
musical play.
"Suryachi Pille" (children of the Sun) was a very funny comedy written by
Vasant Kanetkar. "Tuzhe Aahe Tujapashi" (search no more?) was another play
which I have READ, not seen, but I will love to see. I think it is old, and
not performed nowadays. It was written by P.L. Deshpande, who is one of my
favourite writers, alongwith PG Wodehouse.
Speaking of P.L.Deshpande, he was one of the very few Marathi authors that I
did read almost completely. The rest of the time, in school, I was brought up
on Enid Blyton (remember? :-) ), Biggles, PG Wodehouse and other books.
I read a collection of his excerpts called " P.L.: Eka Sathavan". In it, he
writes about PG Wodehouse in the most admiring terms, sometime after Wodehouse's
death.
Enough rambling, now to don my flameproof suit and suffer some "ghat"
intolerance...

Mukesh's last song is "chanchal sheetal nirmal komal..." from SSS.
Rafi's last song was, like mahesh said, a rumaali song from Aas-Paas.....
I dont quiet remember the start of the song, but it goes like...
"shaam phir kyoon udaas hei dost..tu kahin aas-paas hei dost.."
i guess this is how the song ends.

I'd like to add my $.02 about the plays.
Yes, we have great theater.
"Tee Phulrani", which was desified My Fair Lady, is *still*
in theaters and Bhakti Barve is *STILL* the Eliza Doolittle!
Is Aai Retire Hotay a translated version of the Gujarati play Ba Retire Thai Chhe?
Anybody knowledgible, please enlighten !
Other great plays:
1. Garambicha Bapu
2. Shanteche Karte Chalu Aahe
3. Vastraharan
4. Dubhang
Till early 70's, the theateric tradition set up by Deenanath Maggeshkar, Bal Gandharva
et al was well preserved by Satish Dubhashi, Shriram Lagu, Kashinath Ghanekar et al,
though the songs almost vanished from the stage. LAter, maybe after the success of
Junglee Kabutar, the so-called X-rated dramas tried to flurish, but thank god,
they didn't. About a decade ago Machhindra Kambli made it bigtime through
Vastraharan and grabbed a lot of MArathi and Malavani audience. A little later was
the rise of laxmikant Berde (Shanteche Karte...) and associates. That wave lasted
for a few years but later the demand of L.B. reduced on te stage (maybe he didnt
have the time for stage)
My system is being shut down in 40 sec - I windup!

Talking of plays, there are a couple of extremely good ones by Dr. Jabbar Patel.
These are based on social themes and have a very strong message.
"Ghashiraam Kotwaal" and "Padgham" are some examples....
I am not exactly sure, but I believe it must sometime around the movie
"KAASH" was released. I think Kishore sang for Jackie Shroff in that movie,
but he might have sung later but it was pretty close to the time he died.
Anand.
Another very good play which perhaps did not appeal to the general
marathi play viewer was "padgham". I saw this play in the NCPA theatre in
Bombay which by the way is a must go. Padgham is a musical, which shows how
a highly principled and idealistic youth leader is corrupted when he finally
achieves some power. I believe that this play was also converted later
into a hindi film starring Nana Patekar and Smita Patil. Unfortunately I
cannot recollect the name of the film :-(

well, since sachin and mahesh kothari started directing films, the
marathi films have changed. Initially the educated class hardly ever
went to the cinema to watch a marathi film. (this is the period when
raja gosavi's film career was over and 99% marathi films were based on
tamasha). Now, I think the scene has taken a turn and for the better.
sachins Ek daw bhutacha, navri mile mawryala, etc etc were good. and
recently mahesh kotheri has been creating waves with his new movie -
with "Tatya Vinchu" - I cant seem to recollect the name :(:( . I saw it
during my last visit to India. great movie! something to do with -
Bahula - I'll post the name as soon as i recllect it.

well, if u also include the sangeet-natak here, then I guess there are
plenty of good plays - swamwar etc....
BTW ekach pyayla was supposed to be a good one though it was an
extremely "radka" one.
-devika
Was it Zapatlela? I havent seen it, but since you mentioned the "Bahula",
thought maybe...
Vinod Arekar
Hai,
I recalled it..... It's
"Kahena Na Tum Yeh kisi se " ... zomething like that. It's
from Salma Aaaga and Kishore Kumar.
Nope. This song is sung by Mohd. Aziz, and not KK.
I am pukka sure of that.
Shailendra
Sounds like "Sutradhar".
