Today’s song is from the maiden film Hotel-1956. The film was made by Bright Light Productions, Bombay.

After the II World War, a lot of Black Money came into the film industry. People having this type of unaccounted money were on the look out for investing it clandestinely so that they could earn legitimate profit on it and a part of their money could become White. Many times it was also a way to show huge losses and escape from the Income tax levies. In addition, Film industry glamour was an added attraction. Moving and mixing with well known stars and the late night parties where wine and women were freely available were very alluring too. some of such financiers had an ambition to become Director or an actor and their ill gotten money was helpful to fulfil such desires. So, during the period of 1946 to the mid-50’s, one can find few ‘onetime’ directors and actors in the credits of films. In the Geet kosh, one will find the column of ‘producer’ blank in many such films, as remaining anonymous was an early escape from drawing attention.

In Hindi film industry, there are a large number of artists and technicians whose hard work contributes to the making of films. But a vast majority of them remain unknown to public at large. For example, if I want to know as to who played a particular musical instrument in prelude, interlude, or postlude music of a song which I liked, there is no way to know the names of the musicians in the film as they were not credited in the films’ credit rolls until the recent times.

The box office success of ‘Dam Laga Ke Haisha’ (2015), a low budget film made under the banner of Yash Raj Films with Maneesh Sharma and Sharat Katariya being the producer and writer-director respectively, paved the way for this combination to make another low budget film, ‘Sui Dhaaga’ (2018) for Yash Raj Films. The cast included Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma in lead roles supported by Raghubir Yadav, Yamini Das, Sawan Tank, Manukirti Pahwa, Namit Das etc. The film was majorly shot in Chanderi (Madhya Pradesh) and around Delhi. Chanderi is famous for weaving silk, cotton and zari work. The film was released in theatres on September 28, 2018.

In the hierarchy of Hindi film actors, apart from lead and supporting actors, there is one category of actors who falls between supporting actors and extras. One may call them ‘small role actors’. I found it difficult to identify many actors in this category especially when some of them would be uncredited in the films. One such actor is Ram Sethi whom I had seen in some films of 1970s and 80s. It is only when I joined this Blog in 2011, I came to know that Pyarelal of ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’ (1978) was Ram Sethi. I have also seen him with Amitabh Bachchan in some more films like ‘Laawaaris’ (1981), ‘Yaaraana’ (1981), ‘Kaalia’ (1981), ‘Namak Halaal’ (1982) and ‘Jaadugar’ (1989).

Movies are entertainment, this is what my grandfather taught me. Whether or not it was explicitly told, all his children and grandchildren have this perspective in their blood. We all love movies and give every movie the suspension of disbelief you need to enjoy it. So while like everyone we enjoy really excellent movies, we also have a special affection for some movies that many others may not cop up to liking.

For my younger sisters(some may say cousins but they are my siblings), One such movie is “Mere Brother ki Dulhan” starring Imran Khan, Katrina Kaif and the Pakistani singer Ali Zafar. Interestingly, the director is also an Ali (Abbas) Zafar.

Hullo Atuldom

Just like my previous post, here is a look at the posts on the blog on This Date That Year (viz on 9 December 2013):-

Song Movie (Year) Remarks
Gori tere liye sabka jiya doley Shamsheer (1953) post by Arukumarji. Oonly one song till now from this movie
Ik baat suni hai chaachaa jee batlaane waali hai Naram Garam (1981) my post. three out of six songs have been posted so far

That means, on that day, there were only two posts, which were posted after 8 p.m. Must have been a really long and busy day for Atulji. Because, if I remember correctly, those days, Atulji used to make his first post almost at the break of dawn; he still does that.

I had discussed in my earlier articles, a couple of lesser-known actors like Shaam Kumar and Keshav Rana, who have worked in a large number of films but mostly remained unidentified for the general film audience. But their faces were known to them even though they may appear in the films in small roles or sidekicks. One of such actors was Kamal Mehra.
