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.

Royal flags of Kingdom of Sikkim (1877-1975)

Sikkim (India)   Image by Mario Fabretto Description of the flag Historical flags 1877 - c. 1914 c. 1914 - 1962 1962 - 1967 Description of the flag From Barraclough (1971):  "Sikkim, formerly a protectorate of India, was incorporated as the twenty-second state of the union in May 1975, and the office of the hereditary ruler, the Chogyal , was abolished. Sikkim has, or had, a flag of white with a red border all round, and a yellow Chakra (fimbriated in red) in the centre."  "...the Chakra [is] a Buddhist symbol representing the Law of Dharma , or eternal change." The Chakra on the flag of Sikkim is different then the one on India's flag. It has eight spokes rather than the many spokes on India's, and has an ornate "nub" on the wheel at the head of each spoke. Don Hagemann, 28 November 1995 [editor's note: The source of this quote is not Barraclough (1971), but probably a later edition of the ...

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...

Shapi of Sikkim: Our legacy - ii

It was my good fortune to have visited the Forest Department Office at Deorali this summer and met officials out there. I shall remain appreciative of Ongden Daju (RO) for an occasion when I bring in contact with higher officials of the Forest Department. Apart from the reason for my presence in the Forest Department Office, I kept in mind that I would have some valuable information about Shapi, a topic that has been hovering around with me for some time now.  I was very pleased with the excitement on people’s faces when they went through a couple of photographs and a video of Shapi from the Schaefer Expedition. I was taken to the ENVIS office by Ongden Daju, where I came across Rajen Pradhan, Sr. Programme Officer (ENVIS), who was kind enough to share with issues of PANDA magazine, issued by the Forest Department, Government of Sikkim, for my personal collections. My wandering heart was more than pleased to find two separate articles published in the PANDA magazine in 1993 and in...
