Today’s song is from the film Gaon-1947.

After the II World War was over, it was clear that the British were unable to rule India anymore, due to the war effects on their own country – which was their first priority to mend and develop now. Most Indians felt that the British were leaving India because of Gandhi and Nehru. The respect for these two affected the film industry too. Films on what Gandhi taught about villages and village life and farmers were made. Film gaon-1947 was also one of these films, which tried to emphasize that life in the villages was better than cities and the Indian culture can thrive only in villages.After the exit of Gandhi, Nehru’s philosophy was followed in the films of post 1948 and the decade of 1950’s. Major producer- directors like Mehboob Khan and Bimal Roy, for example,were true followers of Nehru’s Socialist Philosophy, which prompted them to make films like Mother India and Naya Daur etc. Lets not go into discussing politics, post independence. This is not a platform for that.

Mukesh and his NFS – 15

At the outset, as I post the last of the 4 available private songs (out of 6) which Mukesh sang in Delhi in 1939-40, I take this opportunity to once again profusely thank Shri Pawan Tanay ji for uploading these priceless gems on his youtube channel.

Had it not been for his generous gesture, these 4 private songs would have also remained only in print with no access to sound bites of a 16-year-old who would soon turn into a legend.

Hullo to all in Atuldom

Saw a portion of “Padikkadhavan” (Tamil 1985), a few days back. The portion had Sivaji Ganesan (Rajasekhar), the presiding judge for a case, realising that the accused Raja (Rajnikanth) & Ramu (Vijay Babu) are his long-lost brothers. He then proceeds to feign a heart attack & adjourns the court. After researching all night, he returns as a defence lawyer to save Raja and successfully proves that Chakravarthy (Jaishankar) is the one who murdered his own brother. A fight ensues between Chakravarthy and Raja, where Raja defeats Chakravarthy. In the end, Radha (Rajasekhar’s wife) apologises for her old attitude with Raja and Ramu.
