It’s essential for uncovering new possibilities, building confidence, and adapting in a changing world, making it vital for both personal and professional success.

Today’s songs from a Mythological film ‘Gaj Gauri’ (1958). The cast of this film consisted of Sulochana (Latkar), Ratnamala, Shahu Modak, Anant Kumar, Nana Palshikar and a host of mostly Marathi artistes plus an elephant named Ram Prasad.

When the talkie films era came to India, the early filmmakers tended to make films on folk tales and mythological stories in the first decade, i.e. 1931 to 1940. In the second decade of 1941 to 1950 many religious films were made. Some of them like ‘Ram Rajya’ (1943) being an all India blockbuster. And the third decade from 1951 to 1960 achieved the peak for mythological films made, worth calling it ‘The Golden Period of Religious films’. As many as 124 such films were made in this decade. From 1961 to 1970 and 1971 to 1980 were ok, but 1980 onwards there was a decline in such films and mythological films became scarce except some dubbed films from the South, where such films are made even today regularly. The television became a competition to this as many dharmik serials were shown on TV.

Hullo Atuldom

‘Bahubali’ (2015) was followed by ‘Bahubali- The Conclusion’ (2017). It was re-released in 2025, to celebrate 10 years of ‘Bahubali’, with the two parts combined and was called ‘Bahubali- The Epic’.

‘KGF – Chapter 1’ released in 2018; ‘KGF – Chapter 2’ came in 2022 and apparently a sequel to ‘Chapter 2’ titled ‘KGF – Chapter 3’ that was teased into the second film is in developmental stage.

The above two films along with ‘Pushpa’ and its sequels are all made in South India and were released simultaneously across India, dubbed into all possible Indian languages and were also well-accepted by the audiences. 

(I have not seen the above films, don’t feel like seeing them too.)

The film is in black and white which indicates that it was a delayed film.

There were some Hindi films which either flopped or just made it to be the average performers at the box office after they had theatrical release. But over the years, they have attained the status of cult classics. The films in my minds are, Chetan Anand’s ‘Neecha Nagar’ (1946) for pioneering the parallel cinema, Raj Kapoor’s ‘Jaagte Raho’ (1956) for its social commentary, Guru Dutt’s ‘Kaagaz Ke Phool’ (1959) for its cinematic style, Dev Anand’s ‘Guide’ (1965) for its progressive themes, Raj Kapoor’s ‘Mera Naam Joker’ (1970) for its philosophical depth and ‘Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron’ (1983) for raising a couple of serious issues facing the country in a satirical way. The list is not exhaustive. I also feel that I should add ‘Shakti’ (1982) in this list for the powerful performances of Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan as father and son, respectively who are in the opposite side of the law.
