“Aplam Chaplam” (1961) is a movie about which very little is known. Fortunately we can count on our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh to provide us all the details about such obscure movies. Here is what he has to say about “Aplam Chaplam” (1961):-

“Shart” (1954) was a Filmistan Production. The movie was directed by B Mitra. The movie had Deepak, Shyama, Shashikala, Mohana, Sulochana, Chaman Puri, Jagdish Kanwal, I. S. Johar etc in it.

Here is a song from this movie. This song is sung by Geeta Dutt and chorus. I had great difficulty in identifying the actors in the picturisation. They are all familiar faces but they are so young in this picturisation that they are almost unrecognisable. Shashikala lip syncs in Geeta Dutt’s voice. Her accomplice in this picturisation is played by a thin bearded person, who is none other that I S Johar. From the picturisation, it seems that they are upto some mischief as befit the conduct of villains in Hindi movies.

Recently,I came across a duet song ‘chanda tale muskuraaye jawaaniyaan’ from the film ‘CHANDI RANI’ (1953) sung by Talat Mehmood and P Bhanumathi. I had never heard of the film or the song. From the Indian Film Trade and other websites, I could gather that the film was produced under the banner of Bharani Pictures jointly owned by P S Ramakrishna Rao and P Bhanumathi and directed by herself. The film was made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi and released simultaneously. This was her debut film as a director. She was also the lead actor ( double roles) with N T Rama Rao. I could not get synopsis of this film but I guess from the title of the film that it was a film based on some fairy tale. It is said that with this film, she became the first woman in the history of Indian film industry to produce, direct, act and sing in a film.

I had heard popular songs from ‘Kismet’ (1943) in my childhood. But it took another two decades for me to know that Anil Biswas composed those immortal songs. It was during one of the sittings in my friend’s house sometime in early 70s when I listened for the first time a song from ‘Taraana’ ( 1951)- seene me sulagte hain armaan that I came to know of him as music director. Subsequently,I heard many of his songs from films of 40s and 50s and I started liking those songs. It took me another four decades to know about Anil Biswas’s detailed profile and filmography by which time I realised that he was an institution by himself.

Sometimes a rhythm, a tune just sticks into the mind and keeps replaying itself over and over again. This is what has happened, when I bumped into this song two days ago. I was preparing for a write up on Shailendra, having identified other songs (which I will post later now). And then found this song – “dar a dad a daa a dad daaraa, chandaa ke paas ik taara”. The rhythm just refuses to go away from my mind, even though it is a tongue twisting formation, and the mind does stumble sometimes, when trying to go over it. A real foot tapping, ear catching melody that just stays with you once you have heard it.
