MISSING GEMS FROM THE GOLDEN 50s…. Song No….5
————————————————————————————

Today’s song is from the 1955 film ‘Faraar’.

We have already discussed the happenings in Hindi film industry in 1955, in the previous episode.  Name of this film had not featured anywhere, simply because it was neither a famous film nor a very successful film.  Its music too was nothing to write home about.  Even in such a film, we find a gem or a song special for other reasons.  I selected this film song for few reasons.

Glancing through the comments from the past couple of days, I got a shock to see the RIP comment posted by Avinash ji.  Goodness no, but Krishna Kalle is no more.  I quickly searched for more news online, but am dismayed to see almost nil coverage of this news.  A couple of news sites carried brief items of just a small paragraph or two.  She passed away last Sunday, 15th March, after a brief but serious illness.  The last rites were performed on Monday.  She was 74.

Past few days have been very slow on the blog.  Concerns have been expressed in the mails being exchanged not only between the regular team members, but also enquiries are coming from other readers and friends.  Some expressions include statements saying that this blog has become such an integral part of their individual routine of the day.  And on days when we have no posts – dot balls, or even maiden overs, as Atul ji likes to refer to such days, folks have expressed that something seems to be lacking in the day.  And personally, I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.

The Wonderful Sounds of 1930s – 1
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

The decade of 1930s will continue to remain a shaded mystery for the lovers of Hindi film music.  In the decade when the Hindi film song was born and took its first fledgling steps, the creators and the keepers of this art probably did not envision the significance of this new medium and expansive influence it would go on to exercise on an entire culture, generation after generation.  When the films, and more so, the talking films came into being, their predecessor was the various forms of folk theatre and formal stage drama.  From time immemorial, since these art forms have existed, these have simply been live performances, with no thought or effort applied to somehow catalog and preserve them.  The play was written, and its script was the primary record of its existence.

MISSING GEMS FROM THE GOLDEN 50s…. Song No….4
—————————————————-
Today’s song is from film Albeli-1955.

The year 1955 gave us some really meaningful and entertaining films. Raj Kapoor’s ‘Shri 420’ tried to bring in limelight, as usual, the hypocrisy of the elite society. It was a great film with a message, good direction and everlasting music by Shanker-Jaikishen, the three specialities of an RK film. From this film onwards, “Raju” became the favourite name of Raj Kapoor’s Heroes.( Like ‘Shanker’ was Shammi Kapoor’s lucky name in early films. Similarly ‘Vijay’ was the favourite film name of Amitabh Bachhan in 20 films, of Jeetendra in 18 films and of Mithun Chakrawarty in 16 films.).

I was not aware of this film and neither had heard its songs earlier. It was because of HFGK that I came to know about this film ‘Aisaa Bhi Hotaa Hai’.

‘Aisaa Bhi Hotaa Hai – 1971’ was a Rainbow Films-Bombay presentation and a ‘social’ film as mentioned in HFGK. Its star cast includes Dev Mukherji, Nandita Bose (making debut), Jalal Agha, Rupesh Kumar, Anwar Ali, Nikita, Tiwari, Sunder, Mohan Choti, Shyam Kumar, Randhir, Anjum, Birbal, Maruti, Tuntun, Mumtaz Begum, Shefali, Raj Rani, Mehboob and Jayshree T.
