Sadanandji,
A very pleasing version of the Marathi ‘ Hasat nachat jaau ,jaau chala gokulala’. One little thing, if possible change PANDYA to PENDYA.(the role played by Master Parshuram).It strikes the ears. Sorry for the suggestion.

Kamath ji,
Thanks for posting a song from the 30s.
One small correction-
The surname of Master krishnarao was PHULAMBRIKAR.
Phulambri is a small hamlet near Alandi in Pune District.This was krishnarao’s ancestral place.

Dear Sirs,
While going through the above write up, and as one by one the names mentioned therein followed and finally the subsequent comments given by you, this all made me feel that it was discussed in my home. I have heard these names as my parents used to discuss about films and of those glorious years and the contributions made by Marathi personalities then. (My parents used to act in Marathi plays and so do I till standard Xth).
I do not know why, but the names Bhalji Pendharkar, Prabhat Films, Master Vinayak, and Master Bhagwan, Shanta Apte, Rajkamal Kalamandir, Many others and particularly of Shri.V.Shataram, the logo of ‘Prabhat Films’ – I automatically get attracted to it, whether its films, songs from these films or discussions about them. So, when I read Phulmabikar – I know it was Phulambrikar.
About Prabhat Films and the songs viz. ‘Man shuddh tujhe gosht aahe pritvimolachi’, lakh lakh chanderi tejachi nyari duniya’, and all songs from Amar Bhoopali (Rajkamal Kalamandir) they are all inherited and instilled in me since childhood. And they always motivate me.
I think myself very fortunate to have such Parents who teach me the values and ethics of our culture. And these days – Navratri, Dashera, Kojagiri Purnima, and Deepawali – these are the days when we are mostly reminded of our traditions and culture.
(When I get reminded of the film ‘Padosi’ I remember Gajanan Jagirdar ‘the effortless performer’, I don’t know if today’s generation know about this great actor.
We get to see the old films in our township club, when the films screening (at weekends) in the club was introduced around 1975-76 and normally there were the old black and white films screened mostly)
So, while going through your discussions these entire things comes to my mind and I live through that nostalgic feeling again. Thank you very much.
@ Sudhir ji – I think the last film having Cow as the central character was ‘Gaai aur Gori’ -1973 wherein Shatrughan Sinha & Jaya Bhaduri played the lead roles. It was produced by Chinnapa Devar- Devar films.

Dear Avinash,
I can feel the sentiments expressed by you in the above comments. For me, films and songs of 30s and 40s are like sentimental journeys. Whenever, I watched the films coming out of the banners like Prabhat and Minerva, I felt that it was art, creativity and social responsibilities more than commerce behind those films.

Thanks Avinash ji,
After reading your comment, I remembered too. Also remembered that I have this film in my collection, so I pulled it out and watched it. Good wholesome village fare, with the cow Laxmi playing the lead role along with Jaya Bhaduri.

Sadanand ji,
It seems like a veritable treat from the 30s today. What a wonderful song this one is. Thanks also for the write up about the film and this song. Yes, those were the days when the cultural and social values were meaningful in the context of the common rural folk, and the cinema would reflect that. Wonder how many decades it has been since there has been any attention paid by the film industry to cow as the most important asset of the village folk in India. I cannot recall any from the recent two or three decades at least.
Thanks for the reminder.
