#Debutant Movie- Alam Ara Ki Beti-1960#

Today we introduce the movie ‘Alam Ara Ki Beti-1960’ on this blog. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 02.02.1960. Initially I was surprised to note this, because I was under the impression that this movie has been represented on the blog long back. But the reason for this was confusing this with the title ‘Alam Ara’. We have three movies with this title made in the year 1931, 1956 & 1973 already available on this blog.

This movie ‘Alam Ara Ki Beti-1960’ was directed by Nanubhai Vakil for Desai Kalamandir, Bombay. Moghabhai Desai was the producer of this movie. The cast of this movie had Naina, Maruti, Daljeet, Prakash, Kanchanmala, Jeevankala, Sadik, Tuntun, Munshi Munakka, Chandabai, Nazmi, Sashimala, M. Kumar, Nadir, Meharbanu, Razzaq, Pawan Kumar, Ismail Azad, Yusuf Azad Qawwaal and others.

Hullo Atuldom

Back to writing a post after a full month, last one was on 6th November to pay tribute to Sanjeev Kumar. In this period I have been getting gentle nudges by our Guruji, enquiring about the lull in my writing. He even suggested that I strike a deal with Sadanandji, about pacing our landmark posts (at that point Sadanandji was four short of his century). I assured Arunkumarji that by the time I get back to writing Sadanandji would have hit his century and gone far ahead; he is sitting on 1014 currently.

I have been a little pre-occupied attending a few weddings, accompanied with learning to shake a leg for the dances to execute at the pre-wedding sangeet and other wedding related celebrations. A few of my nephews got married in this wedding season.

‘Baazaar-E-Husn’ (2014) was produced by A K Mishra, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vision Corporation Limited and was directed by Ajay Mehra. The cast included Om Puri, Reshmi Ghosh, Jeet Goswami, Yashpal Sharma, Rajeshwari Sachdev, Virendra Saxena, Rajeev Verma, Savita Prabhune, Rekha Sahay, Upasana Singh etc. The film was based on Munshi Premchand’s Urdu novel by the same name which he had also written in Hindi with the title, ‘Seva Sadan’.

It is interesting to note that the first talkie film based on this novel with the name, ‘Seva Sadan (alternative name, ‘Baazaar-E-Husn’) was released in 1934 which was produced by Mahalakshmi Cinetone, jointly owned by director Nanubhai Vakil and the actress, Zubeida. In this film, Jaddan Bai (mother of Nargis), Shahu Modak and Zubeida were the main actors. Another interesting information about this film was that the dialogues were written by Munshi Premchand himself. A Tamil film, ‘Seva Sadanam’ (1938) was also based on Munshi Premchand’s novel by the same name in which M S Subbulaxmi did the role of novel’s protagonist, Suman. A TV serial, ‘Seva Sadan’ (1986) based on the same novel was telecast on Doordarshan.

(Debutant Movie-‘Double Cross-1938’)

Today I am presenting a song from a movie of 1938. Regulars on this blog will be surprised to see a write-up from me presenting a song from a movie which is around eighty-seven years old. I have been sharing older songs but this must be the oldest of them. I had come across this song more than a year back.

This song is from the movie ‘Double Cross’ from the year 1938. Most of us are aware of the movie titled ‘Double Cross-1977’. This movie of 1977 has a song that is part of my childhood and I had shared that song on this blog. Adding songs from movies with same title is one of my missions, and that is the reason for this post as well. With this post ‘Double Cross’ of 1938 joins the ‘Double Cross’ of ‘1977 🙂 on the blog.

“Double Cross-1938” was directed by M. Bhawnani for ‘Bhawnani Productions, Bombay’. M. Bhawnani was also the story writer of this movie. The cast of this movie had Bimla Kumari, S.B. Nayampalli, Faity (Fatty?) Prasad, Ameena, David, Kishore, A.S. Gyani, R. Dilawar, Master Hussain, Rai Mohan and others. This movie has eight songs as listed in Geet Kosh Vol-I (1931-1940). However the lyricists name is not known for this movie. Music for this movie was composed by Pt Badri Prasad and Walter Coffman was the ‘orchestra organizer’(as mentioned in Geet Kosh). Singer’s names for all the eight songs are mentioned in Geet Kosh. They are Gauhar (Bikaner), Bimla Kumari, Bashir Qawwaal, Faity Prasad, and Ameena.

This movie’s story takes place on a cruise ship. Cruise ship travel is still out of affordability area for the common people in India. I do not know anyone who does this type of travel or holidays. The way of life involving Yachts, Marinas and Cruise ships is very foreign to India. I saw one cruise ship in Liverpool. I saw some people who were from that ship roaming around the harbour area, with the Beatles museum, and the eateries, a very ordinary boat ride around the inner harbour/backwaters. They stood out as they were not casual tourists. At least I thought so, as I pride myself on my powers of observation and differentiation.

It has been a while since my number of posts on the Atul’s Song A Day Blog have been sitting at a Dozen. The Thirteenth post has taken a while. The number 13 is it Unlucky. Let us see what is the reason for this.
The number 13 is considered unlucky in many cultures (especially in Western countries) for a combination of historical, religious, and cultural reasons that reinforced one another over centuries. Here are the main sources of the superstition:-

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
———————————————————————

Today 27th November 2025 is the seventy-third birth anniversary of Composer Singer Bappi Lahiri (27.11.1952-15.02.2022). On this occasion as a tribute to him I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Sinhaasan-1986’.

I got to listen to this song earlier this year when I was still at Vadodara and was travelling from the city to my workplace around 47 kms from the city. I had earlier presented filmography of Bappi Lahiri for his Hindi Films from the 1970s and also for few years of the 1980s. However I did not include it in my series of Bappi Lahiri songs where I had presented songs that are part of my memory till 1985, because this song did not fall in that category.

Today’s movie ‘Sinhaasan-1986’ was directed by Krishna who also produced it for ‘Padmalaya Studio, Madras’. So this is one of those movies of actor Jeetendra where he was a part of many films coming from the southern part of the country. Bappi Lahiri too was the regular music composer for such films. I have not watched this movie, so can’t say much about it. However it seems to be a ‘fantasy’ movie. The cast of this movie has Jeetendra, Jaya Prada, Pran, Kader Khan, Mandakini, Shakti Kapoor, Bharat Bhooshan, Dr Shreeram Lagoo, Amjad Khan, Sujit Kumar, Gulshan Grover, Gurbachan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Waheeda Rehman, Radha and others.
