Today’s song is from a less known film- Mordhwaj-1952. This was a Mythological film, about a less known incident which happened during the Ashwamedh Yadnya by Pandavas, after they won the Kurukshetra war against the Kauravas, with the help of Shri Krishna.

Seeing religious films had many advantages. When I was very young I had to see, not by choice, such films while taking a group of family elders to the Theatres. Initially, I was happy, then reluctant and later on an interested person. First it increases your knowledge about your religion. Most children knew about religion through what was taught in the books or told by the elders in the families. I mean, this was the situation some decades ago, when I was a school boy, i.e. the 40’s and the 50’s. Nowadays, the school books do not have stories from Religion and there are no elders in 90% of the families.

(Celebrating ‘Saawan’-2025-2)

#Desh Kee Mittee Kee Khushboo#

The month of saawan is at its peak. Activities like visiting temples, offering prayers, having get-togethers and visiting nearby tourist places reach their peak in this season. This Sunday there a was trip arranged by the family club of the colony at my new workplace. However, I could not participate in that due to other priorities. People from my department who were part of this trip told me that the place they visited had a big farm with a ‘lake/pond’ around and a temple of goddess. The snacks and lunch were arranged from the canteen at our work place only and people enjoyed ‘antaaksharee’, housie, playing games and relaxing in the midst of lush green fields around. We in India celebrate nature, and we celebrate seasons. We pay our respect to nature through many customs and rituals. Different religious and spiritual activities are practiced during this period. People all over the country follow these customs, rituals, and traditions with some local variations.

Today’s song is from the film Dr.Z-1959.

When I first saw the title of this film, I thought it to be a Sci- Fi film. In the period of the 1950s and the 1960s many Sci Fi films from Hollywood were coming to India and our clever filmmakers used to grab the story matter. By making few changes in the story to protect themselves from legal action (like the film Begunah-1957), Hindi films were made by them. It is not that there was a shortage of good stories or there were no creative story writers in the industry, but many B and C grade filmmakers found this method profitable and saleable. In those days, a certain section of the film audience was devoted to such films.

However, when I found later – to my dismay – that this was just an ordinary crime story film mixed with a Love story, I was disappointed. looking at its cast, director and the Music director, one could easily guess the type of film that it was. The title of the film was supposed to arouse the interest of the fixed audience.
