Hullo Atuldom

Just like my previous post, here is a look at the posts on the blog on This Date That Year (viz on 9 December 2013):-

Song Movie (Year) Remarks
Gori tere liye sabka jiya doley Shamsheer (1953) post by Arukumarji. Oonly one song till now from this movie
Ik baat suni hai chaachaa jee batlaane waali hai Naram Garam (1981) my post. three out of six songs have been posted so far

That means, on that day, there were only two posts, which were posted after 8 p.m. Must have been a really long and busy day for Atulji. Because, if I remember correctly, those days, Atulji used to make his first post almost at the break of dawn; he still does that.

Today’s song is from the film Adhikar-1938.

After a pretty long time, I am writing on a film song of New Theatres, Calcutta. From the 30’s to the early 50’s, New Theatres routinely made bilingual films in Bangla and Hindi. Almost every film coming from New Theatres became popular. The “Saigal” factor was one of the points of attraction, no doubt, but their films without Saigal also became popular.

Only one song is being covered daily most of the days, with some exceptions. Do our regulars recall the date when the blog saw its last century ? Last blog century, which was song post number 18000 for the blog was posted on 18 september 2023 (Blog day number 5540). Today is 6 December 2023 (blog day number 5619). 79 days have passed since the last blog century. So it is clear that the blog is averaging just over one song a day from that day, thus the blog is living upto its name “song a day”. 🙂

I had discussed in my earlier articles, a couple of lesser-known actors like Shaam Kumar and Keshav Rana, who have worked in a large number of films but mostly remained unidentified for the general film audience. But their faces were known to them even though they may appear in the films in small roles or sidekicks. One of such actors was Kamal Mehra.

Today’s song is from a very old film-Bramhachari-1938.

When this film was released in 1938, it created a sensation, because the film’s debutante Heroine, Meenakshi Shirodkar had sung a song in a swimming pool donning only a one piece Swimsuit ! 85 years ago it was a very very daring and shameful act which would ‘spoil the young and the innocent’ children. The Traditional puritan society could not tolerate it. The film was made in Marathi and Hindi. When the Marathi version was released in Maharashtra, the ‘Sanatani’ section of the society of Poona protested by having an agitation in front of the theatre. Long articles criticizing this appeared in local papers and some people even threatened to go to the court, if these scenes were not removed from the film immediately. Conversely, these scenes also attracted huge crowds who enjoyed such scenes on the screen for the first time in a Marathi film !
