Today’s song is from the film ‘Baghdad Ki Raaten’ (1962).

The film is labelled as ‘kalpanik‘, (काल्पनिक) meaning based on an imaginary story. I would have loved to meet the writer of this story, who had such fantastic imagination, but the film mentioned that the story was by the ‘Story Department ‘ of the banner/studio. That explains ! It is not possible to imagine such stories by one single person. The Arabian Night stories were supposed to be told by Scheherazade-wife of the King Shehriar of Persia- to her husband at the rate of one story a night for continuously 1001 nights, to avoid her death. I am sure even she would gladly embrace death after hearing the ‘Arabian Stories’ made by the imaginative story departments of Indian films ! In this one department, we easily defeat the rest of the world’s filmmakers !!

Today’s song is from the film Gauna-1950.

Some of the readers may wonder about this title. The meaning of this word may not be known to readers from Non-Hindi states. Google defines it as….

” Gauna is a North Indian Hindu custom and the ceremony associated with the consummation of marriage is prevalent in the states of Bihar, U.P. and Rajasthan. It is associated with the custom of Child Marriage. The ceremony takes place several years after marriage.”

Hindus all over India have this custom in almost every state, but with a different name in every language. Of course now that the child marriage is illegal by law, this custom is out of date. However it is still performed immediately after all marriage rituals even these days in every Hindu marriage performed traditionally. These days the Bride and the Groom are quite matured at marriage time – mostly in their mid 20’s or even late 20’s. They already know everything about ‘everything’ and the custom is followed only symbolically most times.

There are a good number of feature films made on Mahatma Gandhi and his philosophy. I have watched a couple of Gandhi films – Richard Attenborough’s ‘Gandhi’ (1982) and ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ (2006). There is film titled ‘Road to Sangam’ (2010) which I had not heard of until recently. The title of the film gave me an impression of a film on a road journey to the confluences of the holy rivers in India (for example, Panch Prayags in Uttarakhand). But it turned out to be a Hindi film connected with Mahatma Gandhi.

Today’s song is from the film Nanhe Munne-1952.

This is an interesting film in many ways. The film was made by Alhaad Chitra, Poona, in 2 languages – Marathi and Hindi. In Marathi the film’s title was ” Chimni Pakharen” (चिमणी पाखरें ), which means ” The young birds”. The film was produced and directed by Datta Dharmadhikari and the music was by a pair- Vasant(Pawar) and Ramchandra(Vadhavkar). The cast of the film was Baby Shakuntala, Sulochan (Latkar), Raja Nene, Indira Chitnis, Alhaad (son of Datta Dharmadhikari, on whose name the banner was named), Raja Gosavi and many others. The Hindi songs were written by Pt. Phani.

The decade of the 1950s was a time when, having got our independence in 1947, the whole nation was now busy reconstructing our country to our choice. This was the time when family values, importance of joint families, religion, law and order, Nehru’s socialistic pattern etc. were being reestablished. With all this, the turmoil in the society could not be isolated. It had its effects on the social atmosphere, markets, businesses, housing and of course the films.
