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.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————

Today’s song in this post is from the 1964 movie ‘Bhakt Dhruv Kumar’. Today I am presenting the third song from this movie. Though I had not got to listen to the songs from this movie earlier, but few months back I had shared a song from this movie which I liked very much. This song is another wonderful song and I wonder why it was not posted earlier on this blog.
