A couple of years back, I had written for the Blog, articles on a few of Hindi film dancers/character actress which included Mohana Cabral, Naaz, Minoo Mumtaz, Heera Sawant, Sheila Vaz, Rani and Jeevankala. In this article, I take up for writing on one of the prominent dancers of Hindi films during 1970s and 1980s who also did supporting roles of varying types. The dancer/actor is Jayshree Talpade, popularly known as Jayshree T. I had watched her the first time in the film, ‘Chanda Aur Bijli’ (1969). This was the period and another couple of years more when I was active in watching Hindi films in the theatres, preferably during the first week of the release of the films and almost every weekends. After watching her dance performances in about a dozen films in 1970-72 with bits of supporting roles, I can say that just as Helen was a successor to Cuckoo, so is Jayshree T a successor to Helen. Interestingly, Jayshree T and her elder sister, Meena T had no intention of working in the films as none of their family members were connected with the film industry. How Jayshree T got the entry into Hindi films without much of a struggle is the story that will get unfolded as I discuss her profile.

Today’s song is from the film 25th July-(1951).

This is the second film in succession having a title, beginning with only a number, from which I have discussed songs. Surprisingly, as per the Film Title Index book by Hamraz ji, there are as many as 53 films , whose titles start with numericals, during the period 1931 to 2012. I am not considering film titles starting with “Ek”, because though a number, it is written in words – for example Ek thi Ladki etc. Such films are actually 206 in numbers for the same period. Let us take a look at a few film titles from the lot of 53 films….

Mukesh and his Composers – 28

‘Kal Subah’ was an unreleased film which was in the making during the 70’s. It was also probably the film’s composer Binay Bhushan’s first and last film. The director was GS Madhup and the production house belonged to Shringaar Films. I could not fetch details about the actors in the unreleased film. I request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie.

Today’s song is a Special song having a Historical Value. It is from the film Andhon ki Duniya-1947.

There is a solid reason why I am calling this song a Special song with Historical value. Every singer has a First song in his career. For an ordinary or a less famous singer this First song has no problem, but in the case of an established, famous, Popular and for one who has sung in several languages, the First Song has many cousins. First song means which song ? Is it the First recorded song, or the First released song, or First song in any language or First song in Hindi Film or First song filmed on the singer on screen or the First Playback song in Hindi film or a First song as NFS or a first solo song ?

Pandit Narayan Prasad ‘Betaab’ (1872-1945), Agha Hashr Kashmiri (1879-1935) and Pandit Radhe Shyam Katha Vaachak (1890-1963) are regarded as a troika of Parsi theatre. They were the most popular among the playwrights of their time. Their works took the Parsi theatre to the zenith of its glory. This is well recognised in most of the literature on the history of Indian theatres. While Betaab and Radhe Shyam have been credited for popularising plays in Hindi, Agha Hashr Kashmiri had done the pioneering work in Urdu drama.
