Today (8 November 2026) is Deepawali, the festival of Lights. On every deepawali, we have covered a few Deepawali related songs. The first deepawali for the blog fell on 28 October 2008. Five songs were covered on that day. The final song of the day was Rangoli sajaao(Rangoli)(1962). This was a Deppawali song and so this song had the distinction of becoming the first Deepawali song in the blog.

18 years have passed from that date. Today we are celebrating the 19th Deepavali festival in the blog. 43 Deepavali related songs have been covered in the blog over the years. Almost all known and unknown Deepavali songs of the past years have been covered in the past. So musch so that finding a “new” song for the occasion is becoming a challenge for me. Today I decided to search for a Deepavali song. I visited youtube and searched for Deepavali festival songs from Hindi movies. I found that every song that I came across was already covered in the blog. I listened to Vividh Bharati. The songs being played there were also covered in the blog. Then I checked up the Deepavali songs played in Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation today. They had played 11 Deepavali song today. Each and every one of them is there in the blog.

Today’s song is from a “Same Name Confusion” titled film – Alam Ara-1956.

India’s first Talkie film was in Hindi, named Alam Ara-1931. Though the film title is same, these 2 films had hardly anything in common, perhaps except that one of the actors in the cast of both films was the same- W.M.Khan and that he sang himself a song in both films, whose record was not made in both these films !

Hullo Atuldom

Wishing everyone a very HAPPY & Prosperous Dhanteras 🪔, Deepawali 🪔🪔, Bali Pratipada 🪔🪔🪔, Bhai Dooj Or Bhau Beej (as it is called in western India). Additionally India celebrates Lakshmi Pooja too, in some parts. The festivities also have Naraka Chaturdashi, and Kali Chaudas or Hanuman Puja, depending on the region one belongs to. The next few days are definitely a period of greeting, eating and gifting friends, relatives and families. Till a few years/ decades back, crackers used to be part of the celebrations; but with knowledge about environmental & noise pollution gaining foothold in the community people have either switched to environment friendly crackers or given them a miss altogether. Plus, there is the start of the New Year in some parts of the country.

Today’s song is from an unknown film called Suhagi-48. Yes, the title is Suhagi and NOT Suhag. It is rather an unusual and misleading title.
