bharath bhushans sahebs movies had and have guarenteed descent viewing – no nudity or vulgar love\wet scenes-,good story and was a hero with a good looking likeble face (unlike raj kapoor old man looks , his movie’s gimmics, female exibitionism, vulgar love scenes called emotional scenes,or dilipkumars overacting in many a filim ) Bharat bhushans movies means great songs too , not only Mhd Rafi ,but, talat, mukesh, mannadey etc have sung their better songs for this great under-rated actor who thought that just the art of acting was enough to survive in bollywood and hence did not invest elsewhere .
An award on his name or some monument should have come up in bombay or his home town in UP state. By this the next generation will remember him, see his songs ,and can enjoy evergreen music. A descent person like him deserves it ,similiraly rafi not getting a bharat ratna is also very unjust.

I feel very sad to note that a great actor like Mr. Bharat Bhushan was allowed to die in poverty and distress. Mr. Bharat Bhushan often used to portray the tragic life of a musician. His real life was no different from his reel life in the fag-end of his years. He died virtually forgotten by all actors and actresses of Bollywood. It seems Bollywood remembers an actor or actress only if he or she has the means. Many great actors and artists have died in abject poverty and faded into oblivion. Bhagwan Dada was one example. The media which does not miss a beat raking up sensationalism in its news also conveniently ignores such actors. I never thought Indian tinseldom and media would be so cruel as to forget the contributions of actors of yore. May Mr. Bhushan’s soul rest in peace.

What a great actor Bharat Bhushan was! Unfortunately, he experienced solitude and pennury in his last years. Very sad.

Bharat Bhushan will always remain in the minds of Hindi cine goers unto eternity.This film personality is special.I am a Hindi cinema buff and have analysed almost all cinema greats,including Dilip Shab and found what make them tick.But I do not know where BB’s magic lies.I tried hard to find but failed.At last I realised that BHARAT BHUSHAN is the real MOZART of Hindi Cinema, not Dilip, not Dev Anand nor Raj Kapoor.

Bijoorji and Murtyji, Bharat Bhushan and Rafi combination is superb. I like this song in Barsat ki raat very much __ Mayoos hun wade pe tere and Duniya na bhaye from Basant Bahar. What songs! It is sad that Bharat Bhushan who gave us so many hits had to die penniless.

Thank you Bijuji and Murtyji for reminding us of the great melodies.

Jab jab bahar aayi aur phool muskurayi mujhe tum yaad aaye

Respected Bijjor Ji & Murty Ji

great write-up on first great singer-actor combination of Indian Cinema. The film BAIJU BAWRA was a landmark film of Industry which established Rafi Saheb as the number one playback singer of Hindi Cinema with great tunes of Naushad Saheb and a first trend of creating star with Bharat Bhushan on the magic of Rafi’s golden voice. The actor had got his stardom which was his 18th film. Rafi Saheb was at his spiritual best in timeless numbers from Baiju Bawra to Basant Bahar, Samrat Chandragupta, Barsaat Ki Raat , Phagun, down to Taqdeer. It looks very odd when Kishore sings for Bharat Bhushan in Pyar Ka Mausam.

Reading about the last days of Bharat Bhushan Saheb, i feel very upset and remembered his small role of old bed-paitent husband of a young lady Kajal Kiran in the film Ghar Sansar starring Jeetendra & Sridevi. As well said by Sri Anmol Singh Ji , there should be a pension scheme in the film Industry, so that no artist will face any hardship in his old or ideal days. Govt. or association like IMPA shold take initiatives in this regard very positively.

with best wishes & warm regards

film industry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????
Mohd rafi was true about film industry because he put his family away from film industry…..
when they asked mohd Rafi grad son why they are not in film industry? the answer was that Mohd Rafi said not to work in film industry.

Well done Bijoor bhai and Murty saab..
No doubt Bharat Bhooshan and Rafi sahab’s combination is Vintage Classic Rafi. All the songs are immortal and every upcoming singer’s bible for improving and training vocal skills..

Considering such a state of many actors and film makers, the Bollywood film industry should have a life time pension scheme, where they can pay a premuim during their hay days. Later on the money can be provided to them on monthly basis to meet their basic expenses.

The Central or the State Govt needs to impose some guideline here. This will also help in bringing more tranparency in funds used in Bollywood.

â€œyahi araman lekar aj, apane ghar se ham nikaleâ€

Thank you to all those who made it possible to mention this passanate , and very moving song of Rafi shib. In fact tears come to eyes every time I listen to this music.

I listen to this mesmerising rendering everyday and in fact that set my mood for the day. I am not well versed in Hindi and so could not fully comprehend the meaning of these lines, but even without understating the meaning the melody is so moving.Of course only a combination of Rafi sahib and Naushaji could have produced something like this, one of the all time bests of Hindi songs.

I will be very thankful to some one here if he or she could give an English translation of these lines in this forum to fully appreciate this wonderful piece of melody.

Thanks again
Vinayababu
