Today’s song is from the Mythological film Shiv Kanya-1954.

Atulites know very well that for the last so many years, I have been posting my “Good Morning” messages on our WA group. Along with the GM message, I also post photos and pictures of various Gods and Mythological events, so that our readers get acquainted and their day should start with the auspicious darshan of our Gods and Goddesses. Some time back I posted a picture of the entire family of Shiv ji, which showed Shankar, Parvati, Ganesh, Kartikeya and their daughter Mansa Devi. The same was posted on Fb and my other 10+ groups.

#Taraanaa-1979#
——————————

“Taraanaa-1979” was a movie from Rajshri Productions. The production house of Rajshri’s are known for ‘clean, musical, family entertainer’ movies. Their movies always bear shots of picturesque locations too.

Taraanaa’ is a movie of the same genre that Rajshree Productions were known for. I had not watched this movie in those years when it was released. However, I was familiar with its songs that had become popular during its time. The most popular song from this movie was ‘Sultana Sultana meraa naam hai Sultana’. It featured in the annual Binaca Geetmala of 1980 in fifteenth position. Another song from this movie ‘ham tum dono saath mein bheeg jaayenge barsaat mein’ was also frequently heard. But the song that I associated with this movie was the song ‘gunche lage hain kahne’ which I presented here in July last year when I watched this movie on a video sharing platform.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film ‘Subhadra’-1946.

The genre of Mythological films was one of the most favourite one of the filmmakers from the day filmmaking started in India. If you remember, even the first ever silent film made by Dadasaheb Phalke- Raja harishchandra-1913 – was based on King Harishchandra’s story from the Vishnu Puran. This was because the Indian culture was such that irrespective of the caste and creed, everyone liked to see these stories which they heard from several generations. In those years, the Hindu population of India was 85 % ( as per 1921 Census). Steadily, these types of films became less and less and by 1990 onwards, as far as I know, there were no Mythological films worth mentioning.
