Today’s song is from the film ‘Taqdeer’ (1943).

This was the film in which 2 great artistes came together along with 2 other great actors. Mehboob Khan who produced and directed this film, introduced Nargis, first time as an adult heroine. The hero was Motilal and his father’s role was done by actor Chandra Mohan. In real life also, Chandramohan always treated Motilal as his son. Incidentally, the name of Motilal, in his childhood period in this film was PAPPU ! If the film was made today, Motilal would have elected to leave the film instead of having his name as PAPPU !!

Hullo Atuldom

Just discovered that Kumar Sanu is turning 67 (DoB 23 September 1958).

He has been around singing songs in Indian films since 1983. He first figured in a Bangladeshi film in 1986 whereas his first major Bollywood song was in “Hero Hiralal” (1988). He was born as Kedarnath Bhattacharya to Pasupati Bhattacharya who was a vocalist/ composer whose ancestral home was near Dhaka. The family moved to Calcutta (now Kolkata) in search of livelihood, where Kedarnath was born.

Today’s song is from the film Jungle Princess-1942.

From the very first decade of Talkie films, a new Genre of Hindi films started in India and that was ” Jungle Films’. Animals like Elephants, Lions and Tigers were no novelty in India, like the western world. In fact, till our Independence, India was known as a country of Elephants, Lions and Tigers. When India was not well known in the world, people in the western countries thought that Elephants, Lions, and Tigers, along with Snakes etc roam about on Indian roads freely !

In this post I am presenting a song from the ‘1950’ movie ‘Dushmani’. This movie had made its debut on the blog on 05.08.2016 with its song ‘aahon mein basaa hai koi ik baar to aajaa’. This song was presented by our Shri Sadanand Kamath jee. The song presented by him is a nice song to listen to and I had quite listened to it then many times. However none of the other songs from this movie have been posted later so far.

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

The film was made by Minerva Movietone. It was directed by Sohrab Modi. Music was by Meer Saheb and all the 11 songs of the film were written by a young, ambitious poet Ameer Haider Kamaal Amrohavi – who later on became Kamaal Amrohi, a director and husband of Meena Kumari. The cast of the film was Sohrab Modi, Leela CXhitnis, Sadiq Ali (who was known as ‘The Prince of Minerva), Eruch Tarapore ( a relative of Sohrab Modi, who worked only in his films and also sang), Sheela, Sharifa, Kusum Deshpande etc.

Today’s song is from a hit film ‘Gunsundari’ (1948).

What is the formula to make a hit film ? No one ever had any answer for this question, so far in the film industry. Had there been an answer, 99 % of films would have been hits. However, in my opinion, there could be only one answer – LUCK ! Even if you analyse all the hit films till today, I doubt if the right answer could be found.
