The film Bhool Na Jaanaa, is an unreleased film from the 1964-65 time frame. Started under the banner of Integrity International, by producer Jagan Prasad Sharma, its storyline was built around the Indo-China war of 1962. By the time this film was under production, the govt. of India refused permission for this film to be released. Apparently the relations with China were improving, and the govt. put a ban on films on this subject. (May be it was lucky for Chetan Anand that his film on the same subject, Haqeeqat, got released in 1964, and the ban probably came after that). Although in an advanced stage of completion, the production of this film was shelved.

Hindi movie music, especially of the golden era, is like a sea full of gems. Many of these gems are just lying around on the shores and one can keep stumbling upon them without even trying. But if one decides to consciously try and search deep, one can come up with some amazing songs that have been lying undiscovered for decades.

I just came across this rare song from an obscure movie. The movie is called “Zabaan” (1943) and it had actors like Dixit, Mubarak, Ishwarlal, Kaushalya etc in it. None of these names rings any bell as far as I am concerned.

“Chaalis Baba Ek Chor” (1954) is a movie about which every internet site claims to have all the information, but when one visits there, one finds hardly anything of substance. From the little available information, it would seem that Kamini Kaushal was definitely there in this movie. 😀 And then people like Omprakash, Balraj Sahni etc may also have been there in this movie.

It is said that on seeing the film Devdas, famous actor/producer/director V Shantaram, was not satisfied and did not approve of its content and conclusion. His reaction was that no one should throw away his youth and neglect his life, just on account of frustrations in love. In response, V Shantaram produced the film Aadmi (1939), whose tag line is ‘Life Is for Living’. This film is a story of a young man frustrated in love. This young man responds to the failures with determination and faces the life’s challenges boldly, and does not yield to the temptations of drinking.

There have been at least two movies called “Salaam Memsaahab”. One of them was produced in 1979 and another one in 1961. Both these movies apparently proved to be lame ducks at the box office.

Shah Behram is one of those B grade movies that few internet sites know anything about but every one of these sites claim to have every information about them, viz plot, reviews, comments, photographs, songs, lyrics, videos etc, but when you go to that page, the page is as bald as fight master Shetty’s pate.
