It is much the same as the earlier post, except additional clues have been given for some of the songs. Specifically, clues/clarifications have been given to the foll songs: G1, G4, G12, G14, G19, T4, T5, T8. Also, for the tie-breaker question, it would help to consider the films featured in the "Theme Section" in addition to the songs themselves. - Ajay Divekar Rahul Herwadkar *** ------------------------------- `R(m)im' - Jhim Geeton Ki - #18 ------------------------------- ---------------- AMITABH BACHCHAN ---------------- Welcome to `Rmim'-Jhim Geeton Ki - #18. For those of you who have joined us recently, RJGK is a quiz in which the clues are lines, both complete and incomplete, from some part of the song, and all you have to do is guess the song eg. for the clue "Lena kya dena kya chumma do chumma lo" the correct answer would be the song "Jumma chumma de de" . What's important and to be kept in mind is : ******************************************************************************** DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS ON THE NET!! Email your answers to either (or both) of: o ajax@eng.umd.edu o rvh@mit.edu DEADLINE: February 28, 1995 ******************************************************************************** ................................................................................ The originator of the idea of such a quiz on the net was Samiuddin Mohammed and it was he who posted the first few. Abhay Avachat, who compiled RJGK-3 had the great idea that each RJGK be set to a certain theme. Hence, RJGK-3 was a Mohammed Rafi special, while RJGK-4, compiled by Vivek Vohra, was a Kishore Kumar special. The theme of RJGK-5 was Duets, compiled by Samiuddin Mohammed, RJGK-6, a Lata Mangeshkar special, was compiled by JG, while RJGK-7, a Mukesh special, was conducted by Preetham Gopalaswamy and Rajan Parrikar. RJGK-8, was compiled by Samiuddin Mohammed, and was dedicated to R.D.Burman, RJGK-9 was a Gulzar special brought to us by Ashish Bokil and Sandeep Joshi. RJGK-10 was an Asha special conducted by Renu Thamma, RJGK-11 was on S.D.Burman conducted by Ketan Dholakia, and RJGK-12 was dedicated to Yesudas and compiled by Nuts. RJGK-13 was on 'Bhoole Bisre Geet' and conducted by Srinath Varadarajan Ekkad, RGJK-14 was a Naushad special brought to us by Ajay Nerurkar, RJGK-15 was a Laxmikanth-Pyarelal special compiled by Renu and Sandeep, RJGK-16 was a Manna Dey special compiled by Ramesh Hariharan and finally, RJGK-17 was a Hemant Kumar special brought to us by Ambrish Sundaram. The past RJGKs have been compiled by Samiuddin Mohammed and can be accessed on the World Wide Web at: http://www.lehigh.edu/sm0e/public/www-data/rjgk.html ................................................................................ ................................................................................ Amitabh Bachchan - an actor to some, a phenomenen to others. What started in 1967 as a small role in Saat Hindustani, has become an industry today. (TIME magazine has hailed him as "India's answer to Harrison Ford"!) Rarely does one come across someone who doesn't appreciate his performance, and his presence on screen. Both he and his wife Jaya are Padmabhushans, while his father Shri Harivanshrai, is a Padmashri, making it three in a family. More facts about the superstar, with the answers to the quiz, later down the road... So on with the quiz. This RJGK consists of two categories and a total of 35 songs from Amitabh Bachchan's movies. Also, each song has Amitabh's presence in it. The "Theme" category has a significance to it. Participants are required to explain what is so unusual about the "Theme" category. This RJGK was first posted on January 25, 1995. It can be accessed on the World Wibe Web at: file://localhost/afs/athena/user/r/v/rvh/WWW/rjgk.txt Additional clues are given for some of the songs in RJGK-18. All other songs definitely involve substantial visual/vocal presence of Bachchan. In our humble opinion, giving more clues to rest of the songs would make this RJGK very easy to crack (and take away all the fun!) The RJGK-18 clues follow: ................................................................................ ---------------- GENERAL SECTION: ---------------- [G1] Har taraf husna hai jawani hai Aaj ki raat kya suhani hai CLUE: The song definitely involves BigB, although this line is voiced by a co-star. [G2] Jiski dhun mein tu khoya rahta hai [G3] Katke vahi haat Gira badan se [G4] Pyaar se jite dilon ko Woh jhuka de asmaan CLUE: BigB was (literally) king in this movie!

[G13] Dharti pe swarg jo hai to yahin hai [G14] Mausam-e-ishq mein machle hue Armaan hai hum CLUE: A "mast" composition from the MD everybody loves to hate!

[T5] Taal yeh kaisi sum kaisa CLUE: Grand finale song from a masala blockbuster. [T6] Aangan mein daude woh Kothe pe bhage [T7] Aap bhi meri tarah Insaan ki aulad hain [T8] Hawa ka geet madhyaam hai Samay ki chaal bhi kam hai [T9] Angrezi ho yaa desi Filme sabhi maine dekhi [T10] Mai aage woh peeche Bachaao bachaao bachaao [T11] Phir bistar pe hongi baate Bade pyaar se katengi raate [T12] Tu kamal hai bemisaal hai Teri to hirni jaisi chaal hai [T13] Tu jaaneman hai jaanejigar hai Tere liye jaan bhi haazir hai [T14] Baat jo hai usme baat Woh yaha kahi nahi kisi mein [T15] Khaye gori ka yaar balam tarse -------------------------- GRAND TIE-BREAKER QUESTION -------------------------- o What is so special about the "Theme" section? ***End of RJGK-18*** Hope you enjoyed it! -Ajay Divekar Rahul Herwadkar
