Today’s song is from the eminently obscure film Sanskar-1958.

What is the meaning of ‘Sanskar’ in English ? There is no single exact word for it. You can roughly say” building Values”. Sanskar is an important part of Indian culture, irrespective of religion. For example, our sanskar is ‘to touch the feet of our elders’. It is prevalent in Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Boudhs, Jains etc.etc. in India. Those who are india’s original residents follow these customs, as Sanskars are not connected to any religion. These are the ways of life in India. These are handed down, rather taught from generations to next generations. Sanskars are always positive and a guide to a happier life.

In this article, I have taken up for discussion the tragic story of the first super star of the Marathi stage and films whom I had followed during his rise in Marathi stage and films in my younger days. He was stated to be the highest paid actor – both for stage and films – during 1960s and 70s. A series of his Marathi stage plays, and films brought him stardom and a massive fan following. He also worked in two major Hindi films as second lead actor during his period of stardom. However, he could not handle his sudden adulations and glamour. The result was that he became arrogant, unprofessional and finally alcoholic. In 1983 onwards after reforming himself, his stage career was on the pick up when he suddenly passed away. The name of that actor was Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar.

Today’s song is from a famous Landmark film- Ram Rajya-1943.

1943 was an year in which the II world war was in full swing. Both sides were almost equal. The effects of the war on India were… it faced the infamous Bengal Famine, caused by the war profiteering. Controls on film production were tightened by the Government. I.P.T.A. became operative with its first staged play ‘ Nibanna’. Film Kismet became one of the biggests Hits ever. V.Shantaram’s Rajkamal Kalamandir debuted with Shakuntala, as did Mehboob with his film Najma. Government made showing of Newsreel before any film mandatory. Film Raj Nartaki’s english version The Court Dancer was exhibited in the USA, first time for an Indian film.

Today’s song is from the film Pyar ki Manzil-1950.

The sudden and unexpected death of Saigal, followed by India’s partition had disturbed the entire film industry.The major centres – Calcutta and Bombay – both had benefited with the songs of Saigal. A large number of Muslim community, working in different departments of filmmaking, had migrated to Pakistan, disturbing the set up. Luckily, India had a very capable second line of talented artistes waiting in the wings. It took 2-3 years for them to show their abilities, thus the period of 1947 to 1950 was full of uncertainties and testing the new entrants.

There are many coal mines in India, mostly located in Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh etc. Post-independence, there have been at least half-a-dozen disasters in coal mines in India with high casualties. Coal mines are prone to explosion because of the presence of gas and coal dust which are inflammable. The main causes of explosions have found to be the violation of safety rules, poor ventilation, weak management system, and breach of statutory permissions.

Today’s song is from the film Pyar ki Baaten-1951.

The year 1951 was a mixed affair. After the end of II WW and especially after our Independence, there was a flood of people with Black money to produce films, earn profits and convert Black money to white money. This caused several films of low quality being made. Some of them tried to make copies of Hollywood films too. Luckily, everything wasn’t that bad and few good films also were made.

Today’s song is from the film Paak Daman-1957.

The story of this and other such same titled films was from a popular stage drama of the early 1900s. There were many versions of the story with small and big variations. The Parsi Urdu Theatre’s dramas were penned by Agha Hashra Kashmiri, known as Shakespeare of India. The Parsi Gujarati plays were written by various authors. Syed Yawar Aliu, a student of Dagh Dehlvi penned the script for the Moon Parsi Theatre. The Alfred drama company had their own version of this story.
