Today’s song is from the film Room No. 9 (1946).

There were 2 more rooms on which films were made – Room No. 17 and Room No.203. I wonder what happened to the other rooms ? I am also hurt by the title of a film as ” B-13 -Fear has a New Address” made in 2009. My flat number in Mumbai is B-13 and I never ever saw any Atulite frightened in my flat when so many ASAD meetings were held here ! And also when some members had stayed here overnight also ! However, I did not file any case against the film’s producer, lest it became ‘ an address to fear ‘ for him !

Hullo Atuldom

4th August is very important for lovers of Hindi film music. It is the birth anniversary of Kishore Kumar who was fondly addressed as Kishore da. His birth name was Abhas Kumar Ganguly. He was the youngest among his siblings Kumud Lal Ganguly a.k.a. Ashok Kumar and Kalyan Kumar Ganguly a.k.a Anoop Kumar, being the older brothers. His sister was married to Shashadhar Mukherjee, co-founder of Filmistan Studio and later Filmalaya Studio. Kishore da’s wives (he had married four times) were Ruma Ghosh, Madhubala, Yogeeta Bali and Leena Chandavarkar who were all actresses. His son Amit Kumar is also a singer, actor & composer. As the saying goes “like father like son” or “walking in his father’s footsteps”. All this I am mentioning to show that Kishore Da was part of a family that has been in the entertainment industry from the 1930s (when Ashok Kumar began his career in the industry.)

Today’s song is from the film Aangan (1959).

The 50’s decade was the period in India, when after Independence, the entire Nation was trying hard to re-establish old traditions, joint families and building values among the next generation. However, the world was changing, becoming modern and there was a clash of the old and the New. All this, no wonder, was reflected in the films made during that period, because films always reflected the happenings in Society.
