Danny Denzongpa's nepali song from the film Saino


Do you know Saino was made four times? First, it was a Nepali movie in Bengali, followed by Hindi, and finally, the serial Ajnabhi. It was named Bandhu in Bengali, and if everyone gets a chance upon the Bengali audio cassette, get a hold of the song Amai Ley Bhanthey in Bengali. I still recall when I first saw Saino at Vajra Hall. I was upset with my stomach but was not ready to miss any of those scenes. 

The film was simply dominated by the presence of Danny Denzongpa, ala Aamir Khan in Ghajini. I find it strange Danny too shares a similarity with Aamir Khan, we all know Aamir is very selective about his movies and does one or two films in a year but this trend was started by Danny Denzongpa way back. 

No one denies Danny's talent, but very few know he is a great singer and has sung with legends like Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, and Rafi. He is a good writer. Did you know he even directed a Hindi movie that had Rajesh Khanna as the lead? 

Well, coming back to Saino. I like the songs very much. The film, released in 1990, stars Danny, Bhuwan KC, Tripti, Muralidhar, and others. Danny sang three of the five numbers, and each of them is a classic treat for Danny Denzongpa fans. Other Singers include Asha Bhonsle, Udit Narayan, Deepa Narayan, Muralidhar, and Kumar Khancha.

  2. The movie was a hit and i remember watching the movie in a single screen theater as a kid. The tele serial Ajnabi was equally hit with the lilting theme music by Ranjit Gazmer. Both were directed by Ugyen. Remake has not been as successful as the original one. the quality of nepali movies has degraded down the years or may be i am more biased towards the movies of yesteryears.

    Thanks.

  3. I remember watching this movie in a single screen theater as a kid. The movie was a big hit and people used to throng the cinema hall.Ajnabee, the tele serial was equally hit when aired in DD with a lilting theme music by Ranjit Gazmer and directed by Ugyen Chhopel. the hindi movie Kaun Ho Mere Tum sank without a trace. Original will remain a classic.

History on Easter Sunday and Padari Ganga Prasad Pradhan

By Seira Tamang As noted by various scholars, Hinduism, the Nepali language, the monarchy and a rastriya itihas (a chronicle of progress in which the dark era of Rana rule is contrasted with the enlightened, progressive and modern period of Panchayat rule) formed the core of the Panchayat regime’s national culture. The formation and consolidation of this national culture have required the expunging of uncomfortable facts and stories that might raise ambiguities and questions. While the selection of what and who is and is not acknowledged to exist (or at least exist in historically important ways) in official Nepali history is complex, social scientists have begun to provide more comprehensive historical accounts of the past through oral histories and re-readings of historical documents. Such accounts reveal how ordinary people lived in the past, and offer ways to think through how ‘history’ is crafted, shaped and managed in order to reflect ‘the reality’ best suited to the status quo, ...

Shapi of Sikkim: Our legacy -iii

A Sikkimese with a Shapi The two previous articles I wrote in my earlier edition on Shapi were wonderful to read for people around, and appreciation had been received from different corners of the state. I am thankful and find pleasure in people finding joy in my findings and research work. It was a bit surprising that very few had heard about Shapi, our rare legacy.  Nevertheless, I am happy to be part of history for re-introducing Shapi to those sections of my readers who had never heard about this old and sacred mountain mammal, a native of Sikkim. I dedicate my writing on Shapi to Ongden Daju (RO), who has been very supportive of me ever since I first published its first part a few months back. It was he who wanted me to continue with the third part of Shapi since more findings were evolving after my two writings. I shall always remain grateful to JR Subba, Jt Director from the Forest Department, for providing me with a valuable census report of Shapi done by the Department...

Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal, with his mother Queen Mother Denzong Lhayumkusho and Prince Wangchuk of Sikkim

The late Jungkyang Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal, seated with his mother Queen Mother Denzong Lhayumkusho, daughter of Rakasha family of Tibet, and Prince Wangchuk whose late mother hails from the Samdrup Phodrang family of Tibet. Standing next to Denzong Queen Mother is the senior Rakasha Lhachamkusho, daughter of Raja Tsodrak Namgyal Taring of Sikkim, the eldest son of Chogyal Thutop Namgyal, who gave up the Sikkimese throne to his younger brother Sir Chogyal Tashi Namgyal in favour of staying in Tibet.  The Taring family of Tibet enabled into Tibetan high society by the great 13th Dalai Lama, is legitimately the unbroken elder line of the Royal Namgyal lineage of Sikkim, since Raja Tsodrak Namgyal was the Crown Prince of Sikkim, and his sons and grandsons today go by the Taring family name. Standing in the picture is also Princess Kukula, sister of the Chogyal married to the Phuenkhang family of Tibet.  Rakasha Tsetop, Rakasha Tseten, Yap Dr. Paljor, Soden Wangdi, Chimi ...
