Today’s song is from the film Pyas-1941.
The year 1941 was an year which would start the realignment, improvement, trials, changes and introduction of new waves in acting, singing, direction and the story contents. Many ‘Carried Forward’ baggage from the silent film era were to be discarded- like Music based on stage and dramas in Parsi, Gujarathi and Marathi languages. New Genres were to be opened up to make this entertainment more acceptable. Additionally the second world war, started in 1939 end period, had an unpredictable duration and the film industry would have to cope up with the British Government’s expectations from the film industry.

Today’s song is from the film Gauna-1950.
Some of the readers may wonder about this title. The meaning of this word may not be known to readers from Non-Hindi states. Google defines it as….
” Gauna is a North Indian Hindu custom and the ceremony associated with the consummation of marriage is prevalent in the states of Bihar, U.P. and Rajasthan. It is associated with the custom of Child Marriage. The ceremony takes place several years after marriage.”
Hindus all over India have this custom in almost every state, but with a different name in every language. Of course now that the child marriage is illegal by law, this custom is out of date. However it is still performed immediately after all marriage rituals even these days in every Hindu marriage performed traditionally. These days the Bride and the Groom are quite matured at marriage time – mostly in their mid 20’s or even late 20’s. They already know everything about ‘everything’ and the custom is followed only symbolically most times.

Hullo Atuldom
Simi Garewal – a lady who has very beautiful hair, posture, elegance etc. was born on 17th October – turns a year older today. She played a teacher to a teenager Rishi Kapoor in ‘Mera Naam Joker’ (1970) and is Manoj Kumar’s fiance too. Three years later, she played Amitabh Bachchan’s friend in ‘Namak Haraam’ (1973) when that character needed an emotional support when he felt betrayed by his best friend. But these were not her first appearances in the film industry.

Today’s song is from the film Sasural-1941.
Films with the same title were made in 1941, 1961 and 1984. This was a romantic comedy film involving a mistaken identity. Now, can you recall how many films have you seen about mistaken identity (with or without knowledge) ?. Mostly, such stories are based on ‘Look alikes’, like films Don, Chandralekha, Angoor, Chacha Chaudhary, Do dooni chaar, Milan(46) etc. Some films were, where the identity of the Hero was mistaken intentionally. Today’s film Sasural-1941 falls under this category. This same theme was repeated in films Panghat-1943 and Chitchor-1976.
