Today’s song is from the ‘Social’ film – Sara Jahan Hamara-1961.

I do not understand on what basis filmmakers give titles to their films. This film is categorised as a ‘Social’ film in HFGK. The film story has a murder, lootmar, girl trading, fighting, court, Jail and such things. Embedded in all this there is a Love story. In my opinion, the film should have been classified either as a stunt/action film or a crime/mystery film.

Anyway, it is always a mystery how the film makers decide the titles of their films. When I rummaged through the The Film Title index book (1931-2012) by Hamraz ji, I found some interesting titles.

Hullo Atuldom

Wishing all Indians a Very Happy Republic Day.

(Cannot recall people greeting each other in this manner in the pre-WhatsApp days, though. 🤔)

Its India’s 76th Republic Day and as I can see we have had some patriotic songs posted on the blog over the last few days thanks to Avinashji remembering the efforts of Azad Hind Sena, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and all the patriots of the freedom struggle that culminated in India’s Independence in 1947.
