#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-38)
—————————–

The ten-day long ‘Durgaa Poojaa’ Utsav is already underway all over our country. People are celebrating it with customary fervour and energy. This is also the time for staging of ‘Raam Leelaa’ in many parts of the country. I have fond memories of watching ‘Raam Leelaa’ during my childhood days. If I remember correctly the performing troup also used to add other incidences from mythology in between the episodes from Ramayana.

Today I am presenting a song which covers one such important incidence from Ramayana, that is Prabhu Ram, Seetaa Maiyya and Lakshman boarding the boat of Kevat to cross the river Gangaa. This song is from the movie ‘Shri Ram Bharat Milan-1965’. It was directed by Manibhai Vyas for R.M. Art Productions, Bombay.

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 !
