#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #

The song being covered in the article is a nice melodious bhajan from the movie ‘Bhakt Dhruv-1957’.

As many as seven Hindi films have been made on the story of Dhruv Kumar or Bhakt Dhruv. These movies are ‘Dhruv Charitra-1933’, ‘Dhruv Kumar-1938’, ‘Bhakta Dhruva-1947’, ‘Bhakta Dhruv-1957’ and ‘Bhakta Dhruv Kumar-1964’ and ‘Baalak Dhruva-1974’. There was one movie in 1983 which was a dubbed movie titled as ‘Bhakta Dhruv-1983’.

Three of the abovementioned movies are already represented in the blog. They are ‘Bhakta Dhruv-1947’, ‘Bhakta Dhruv-1957’ and ‘Bhakta Dhruv Kumar-1964’. The two movies of 1930s are not represented because the songs of these movies are perhaps not available. Movies from the seventies and the eighties could make their debuts in the blog in near future.

“Bhakt Dhruv-1957” was directed by Gunjaal for ‘Ashok Pictures’. It was produced by R.L. Arora and this movie was passed by Censor Board on 18.10.1957. The cast of this movie had Sulochana, Shahu Modak, Jeevan, Vinod Kumar, Bimla, Sundar, Gulaab, Shammi, Ramesh Kapoor, Amar, Kesho and others. Mala Sinha, Trilok Kapoor, Anant Kumar, Badri Prasad, Ramesh Sinha and Kanchanmala had guest appearance in this movie. This movie has seven songs as per details given below.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #u>

#Bhoole-Bisre Geet #

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-63)

‘Hari Darshan-1972’ was directed by Chandrakant for ‘Joy Films, Bombay’. This mythological movie was passed by Censor Board on 24.08.1972. The star cast of this movie includes Randhawa, B. Saroja Devi, Abhi Bhattacharya, Shahu Modak, Asit Sen, Sujata, Kalpana Deewan, Padma Rani, Sanjana, Sadhna Khote, Sarla, Anwari, Rekha Chouhan, Babu Raje, Himmat Singh Chouhan, Ram Rasila, Satyajit, Jr. Mehmood, Baby Rupa, and others. And Dara Singh, Jayshree Gadkar, Arvind Trivedi in special appearance. This movie is mainly about Bhakt Prahlad and his devotion towards Lord Vishnu i.e. Hari. The movie also briefly covers the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu.

This movie had made its debut on this blog on 02.04.2015 when I had presented its’ song ‘suno re pyaare bhaai…’. This song being a nostalgic song from my childhood days was always in my memory and while sharing this song I had mentioned the following about the other popular songs from this movie that were in my memory from the radio listening days in my growing years.

‘Suno re pyaare bhaai ee, o o o o …’ … I am sure music lovers will easily remember the next lines of this song which are ‘prabhu ke bharose haanko gaadi’.

I remember, in my childhood days it was frequently heard on loud speakers during festivals and was also played regularly on radio.

In fact few more songs from this movie ‘Hari Darshan-1972’ were quite popular viz. ‘jai jai narayan narayan hari hari’, ‘maarne waala hai bhagwaan-bachaane waala hai bhagwaan’ and couple of them (including the song under discussion) feature in almost all compilations of devotional songs brought on cassettes/cds.

However, none of the songs from this movie made it to the annual list of Binaca Geetmala in that year or the next year in spite of having some good music. But, then those were the years when good music was coming from almost all composers and the competition was tough.

‘Hari Darshan-1972’ has tens songs that were written by Kavi Pradeep and composed by Kalyanji-Anandji. So far eight songs from this movie (including one triple version song) have already been posted on this blog earlier. Today I am presenting the ninth song from this movie which is yet another popular and frequently heard song of those days. This song, sung by Lata Mangeshkar, is liup synced by Master Satyajit who played Bhakt Prahlad in the movie. Asit Sen, Junior Mehmood and many others are also visible in the picturisation. Lyrics for this song were sent by our Prakashchandra long back.

Let us now listen to this song composed by Kalyanji-Anandji and penned by Kavi Pradeep.

Today’s song is from the Mythological film Mahatma Vidur-1943.

1943 was a year in which the II world war was in full swing. Both sides were almost equal. The effects of the war on India were… it faced the infamous Bengal Famine, caused by the war profiteering. Controls on film production were tightened by the Government. I.P.T.A. became operative with its first staged p0lay ‘ Nibanna’. Film Kismet became one of the biggests Hits ever. V.Shantaram’s Rajkamal Kalamandir debuted with Shakuntala, as did Mehboob with his film Najma. Government made showing of Newsreel before any film mandatory. Film Raj Nartaki’s english version The Court Dancer was exhibited in the USA, first time for an Indian film.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film – Shiv Kanya-1954.

The decade of the 1950 was known for 2 things. As we all know, the first thing was that it was the peak of “The Golden Era” of Hindi film music. Secondly, it was also the peak of Mythological and Religious films (124 films in 10 years). So, there was atleast 1 such new film every month continuously for the next 120 months !

When so many Mythological films are made, naturally many stories are repeated in some way or the other. Usually stories from the 18 Puranas, 18 Up-Puranas and 2 Epics- Ramayana and Mahabharat are used for films. Fed up with the usual stories, some filmmakers tried to find unused new stories from the puranas,while some tried to cook up own stories by using the Mythological names and mixing several stories.

Today’s song is froma Mythological film – Veer Arjun-1952.

The film was made by Ajit Pictures, Bombay belonging to the producer Ratilal Punatar. He was the Nephew (Bhanja) of Chandulal Shah (owner of Ranjit Movietone). The film was directed by a very learned author- Ramchandra Thakur. There were 2 MDs- Avinash Vyas (6 songs) and S. Mohinder (1 song). The cast included Trilok Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, Mahipal, P. Kailash, Dulari, Mehtab, Usha, Amirbai Karnataki, S,N.Tripathi, Pesi Patel, yashwant Dave and many others. Compared to any Social or Action/Costume film, there are always more artists in a Mythological film, as it has (too) many characters in its story, like e.g. Nakul and Sahdev…sometimes they have no dialogues also or 100 Kauravas. Only Dushasan and Duryodhan are talking and other 98 are only present there.

If we liken this blog to a Train, and posts to stations, then important posts can be considered important stations. We in this blog consider century posts as important destinations. By that token thousandth posts are very important stations. Even among them, post numbers 5000, 10000, and their multiples are considered very very important destinations.

Last month on 11 March 2026, the blog reached the very very important destination of 20000th song post.
