Today’s song is from an obscure film called ‘Room No. 17’ from 1961.
This film is categorized as a ‘social’ film in the HFGK. I wonder on what basis it can be called a ‘social’ film. What I understand by ‘social’ category is when the film revolves around a family problem or a social custom. If not that, then at least the film should show a relationship crisis or an age old social evil or even a simple family dispute. But this film is nothing like this. The film story has 4 murders, 2 accidents, kidnapping, police encounter and multiple attacks by criminals. Embedded in all this there is a love story and a murder mystery. In my opinion, the film should have been classified either as a stunt/action film or a crime/mystery film.
Anyway, it is always a mystery how the film makers decide the titles of their films. When I rummaged through the The Film Title Index (1931-2012) by Hamraaz ji, I found some interesting titles. There are 3 films on Room Numbers. ‘Room No. 9’ (1946), ‘Room No. 17’ (1961) and ‘Room No. 203’ (1980).
Then there are 2 films on House – ‘House No. 44’ (1955) and ‘House No. 13’ (1990).
‘Mahal’ was made 4 times – in 1949, 1969, 1990 and 2001.
I found 2 funny titles. ‘? A Question Mark’ (2012) and ’10 ml Love’ (2011).
There are films titled ‘Das Baje’ [aka ’10 O’clock’] (1942), ’11 O’clock’ (1948) and ’12 O’clock’ (1958).
Films using a calendar date are ’26th January’ (1956), ’23rd March’ (2002), ’13th May’ (2010), ’25th July’ (1951), ’26th July’ (2007), ’15th August’ (1993), ‘2nd October’ (2003), ‘6th December’ (2009) and ’16th December’ (2002).
Even days were counted. ’30 Days’ (2004), ’40 Days’ (1959), ‘100 Days’ (1991) and ‘300 Days And After’ (1938).
Year Wise films were ‘1857’ (1946), ‘1920’ (2012), ‘1942’ (1993), ‘1947’ (1999) and ‘2001’ (1998).
And then we have the film titled ‘A Wednesday’ (2008).
I was utterly shocked when I found that there was a film titled ‘B-13 Fear Has A New Address’ (2009). The reason for my shock was that ‘B-13’ happens to be my own flat number in our Housing Society in Mumbai ! Nothing is scary about my flat except that I live there !!! (wonder how they knew !)
See what is the story of this ‘social film’ ‘Room No. 17’ (1961). . .
Chandan, who has been called by his father General Shamsheer, is coming to the city by car. On the way he meets Roopa, who suggests to him a way side hotel where she and her brother Mangal are staying. He stays there. After dinner, when Chandan is watching a card game, he observes that the hotel staff is cheating Mangal. Chandan intervenes. There is a fight. Thereafter Mangal, Roopa and Chandan shift to another hotel.
Next day, on resuming journey Chandan is attacked by the goons of the hotel owner. He gets injured. Roopa and Mangal take him to their house. On reaching the city the next day, he comes to know that his father died in an accident in the hotel where he was staying. Chandan suspects a murder. He finds one waiter who knows something but he is murdered. One more witness is also killed.
The hotel owner and his moll trap and attack Chandan. Mangal and his girl friend Bansari save him. They contact the police and a plan is made. Accordingly, Chandan and Roopa stay in that hotel in disguise as a prince and his secretary. They find his father’s jewellery box with the owner. They call the police. After a gunfight, the owner is arrested and jailed. All is well now with Chandan-Roopa and Mangal-Bansari getting united. The end !
The cast of the film was Dalpat, Chitra, Radhika (Kumkum’s sister), Amar, Majnu, Tuntun, Sundar ,Gopi, Shetty and others. Let us know more about actor Amar, who was a member of the ‘Same Name Confusion’ group with actor Amarnath (Bharadwaj) and many others holding the names of Amar, Amarnath etc.
Amar – an occasional singer. The real name of Amar was Nasir. He was from Punjab. He was born in 1920. After doing bit roles in some films, he got a major break in film ‘Sanyasi’ (1945), in which he sang 5 duets and 1 solo. His solo song “Tooti Hui Kashti Ka Bane Kaun Sahaara” became very popular.
In 1946, he was the Hero of film ‘Bindiya’, where Ragini (who later migrated to Pakistan) was his Heroine. MD was Kamal Dasgupta, who gave him 3 songs.
Then he was hero opposite to Suraiya in ‘Natak’ (1947). He sang 1 duet with her and 2 solos. Later he did films like ‘Lalaji’ (1942), ‘Vijay’ (1942), ‘Shukriya’ (1944), ‘Keemat’ (1946), ‘Maang’ (1950) etc. After 1950 he was doing character roles till 1970. He acted in 89 films and sang 18 songs in 8 films. He died in 1980.
There is one more name, Shetty (the Taklu – टकलू ), about whom hardly anyone writes. Here is his information. It is taken from an article in The National Herald Dt. 23-1-2018.
When he appeared on screen, people shuddered. He had a strong body, cold eyes and a serious expression on his face. This is the image that runs through the mind when we remember Shetty. He was popular as ‘Ganja Shetty’ (bald Shetty). A fight scene sans Shetty was not complete in those days of 1970’s. But Shetty worked far more behind the screen than he ever did on screen. He was the busiest and most successful fight and stunt director of his time. He contributed in some way or the other to 700 films in 25 years which is a record in itself. During this time, Shetty fractured his bones more than 40 times during the filming of stunt scenes of various films.
Born in Mangalore near Mysore, Muddu Babu Shetty did not like studies at all. But the main concern of his father, who was a poor farmer, was that Shetty should earn some money so that the family could get some financial relief. One day, his father sent the nine year old Shetty to Mumbai with an uncle. He was confident that Muddu would find some work in the city. It was 1947. After a while, Muddu got a job washing utensils in a Punjabi Dhaba situated on Lamington Road.
At the age of 16, Muddu Babu got the job of a waiter in the canteen of Tata Oil Mill in Sewri. His salary was 12 rupees a month. In the evenings, the workers of Tata Oil Mill used to do boxing. Muddu Babu also started to learn boxing. The manager of the canteen used to admire Muddu’s behaviour and agility in the ring. He encouraged Muddu to box. After some time, Muddu Babu won the boxing championship of Tata Oil Mill. The very next year, he won the Mumbai boxing championship as well. Now, his salary was ₹75 a month. His father was happy and relieved to know that Muddu was making progress in his life.
One day, actor and stuntman Baburao Pahelwan and actor, director and producer Bhagwan came to see the boxing championship match. Babu Rao was so impressed with Muddu’s performance that he offered him work in films. The next day, Muddu reached Jagriti Studios where a fight scene between Muddu Babu and Babu Rao Pahelwan was shot. For this job, Muddu received ₹200. He could not believe his fortune. And it was at that time that Muddu decided to work for films. He made Azim Bhai his teacher who was a great stunt director of that time. He learnt horse riding and fencing under Azim Bhai’s guidance. He started using the name Shetty for himself. During this time, he also continued taking part in boxing matches and remained Mumbai’s champion for eight long years.
In the 1950’s, he worked as a dummy for many heroes in fight scenes. In 1955, he got the opportunity to work as stunt director for the film ‘Munimji’. In the same year, he appeared on screen in ‘Tatar Ka Chor’. ‘Tumsa Nahi Dekha’ (1957), ‘Detective’ (1958), Taxi Stand (1959) and ‘Qaidi Number 911’ (1959) are some of the films in which Shetty acted and was seen on screen. At that time, Shetty’s teacher Azim Bhai, Master Ghani, Baburao Pahelwan and Master Sando were the leading stunt directors. But young Shetty was also making a strong impression on the filmmakers as a stuntman and director. His popularity was such that a film ‘Tum Salamat Raho’ with him as the protagonist was launched. His heroine in the film was Persis Khambatta. But filming stopped midway due to some problems.
After 1960, Shetty was once again flooded with film offers. They came from the Kannada film industry as well. For the films ‘An Evening in Paris’ and ‘Night in London’, Shetty shaved his head. This look of his was so much liked by the audience that he had to appear on screen with shaved head only and the audience started calling him ‘Ganja Shetty’. His only flaw was his faulty Hindi accent. It was this reason why he could not get the role of a main villain in Hindi films. But he continued working for a long time in hit films like Lalkaar, Kalicharan, Shalimaar, Don, Fakeera, Shankar Dada etc. There was a time when he worked in 50 to 60 films simultaneously.
Around the late 70s, something happened that sealed the fate of Shetty and his two families. Shetty was shooting for a film called Bombay 405 Miles (1980), starring Vinod Khanna and Shatrughan Sinha and directed by Brij Sadanah (Kamal Sadanah’s father). In one of the action scenes, a boy named Mansoor was playing the stunt double for Shatru. A petrol bomb was supposed to explode near him. Unlike today, safety measures were rudimentary and injuries were commonplace. But this got particularly messy. The bomb was flung at Mansoor but before he could jump away, the bomb hit his body and went off. Mansoor died on the spot.
Shetty was pretty close to his coterie of stuntmen and fighters, they were like his sons. He felt responsible and went into mourning. Alcoholism took over and he spent most of his days at the bottom of bottles.
In his last days, the various injuries which he suffered during the fight scenes started troubling him. He found himself unable to perform adventurous and daring fight scenes. During his last days, his second wife, Vinodini, who was a Kathak dancer, had to run the household by taking dance classes. Muddu Babu Shetty, who was once a formidable and courageous villain, became helpless and vulnerable and bid farewell to the world on January 23, 1982. Muddu Babu Shetty aka M.B. Shetty aka Fight Master Shetty passed away, almost penniless.
He had two sons and two daughters by his first wife Vinodini. One of them, Hriday Shetty grew up to be a director, debuting with the Sanjay Dutt-starrer Plan. He also had a son with his other wife Ratna. This son became a massively successful film director, even more successful and popular than his father. Rohit Shetty. And like his father, he works with stuntmen and ensures they are employed (safely) in all his films.
Today’s song is sung by Geeta Dutt, Balbir and chorus.

Today’s song is from film ‘Doctor Z’ from 1959.
The title seems funny, isn’t it? Somehow, I find that the film makers give bizarre titles to their films sometimes. Films with prefix Mr. or Dr. were plenty. The earliest such a Talkie film was ‘Mr. 420’ made in 1937. Later, ‘Mr. X’ was made in 1938. This was repeated in 1957 and 1984. ‘Mr. X in Bombay’ was made in 1964. ‘Mr. India’ came in 1961 and also 1987. There was a ‘Mr. Bechara’ in 1996, ‘Mr. Chakram’ in 1956, ‘Mr, Jhatpat’ in 1943, ‘Mr John’ in 1959, ‘Mr. Lamboo’ in 1956. ‘Mr. Romeo’ in 1973 and 1999. ‘Mr. Q’ in 1958, ‘Mr.Bond’ in 1992, ‘Mr. Azad’in 1994, ‘Mr .Dynamite’ in 1947, ‘Mr. Murder’ in 1969, ‘Mr. Qartoon, M.A.’ in 1958, ‘Mr. Sampat’ in 1952, ‘Mr. Toofan’ in 1963, ‘Mr. 100%’ in 2005, ‘Mr. Badmash’ in 2009, ‘Mr. Bhatti on Chhutti’ in 2012, ‘Mr. Hot and Mr. Cool’ in 2007, ‘Mr. Lonely Miss Lovely’ in 2004, ‘Mr. Prime Minister’ in 2005, ‘Mr. Singh Mrs. Mehta’ in 2009, ‘Mr. White Mr. Black’ in 2007, ‘Mr. ya Mrs.’ in 2005, The most hilarious title in this category was ‘Mr. Khujli’ in 2007 !!!
Starting with ‘Dr. Madhurika’ (1935), it was ‘Dr. Ambedkar’ (1989 and 2000), ‘Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahani’ (1946), ‘Dr. Kumar’ (1944), ‘Dr. Ramesh’ (1949), ‘Dr. Vidya’ (1962), ‘Dr. Z’ (1959) etc.
The decade of the 1940s and the 1950s was the period when stunt and action films were made in plenty. There were specialised actors, producers, directors, composers and even specialised audiences too for such films. Stunt and action films was a very sweeping name for a genre which included several types of sub-categories. When I started studying these films, I found one kind soul – Mike Burnum -who identified and classified stunt/action films made in India, into sub categories. For the information of our esteemed readers, the different types within the generalised stunt/action films are…(in descending order of number of films made….
- Fantasy and Arabian Nights -92 films
- Horror – 67
- Jungle Thrillers (Tarzan/Zimbo/Zambo/Zangbo/Zingara etc)
- New Century Horror films ( Horror films made after 2000)
- Science Fiction
- Chillers
- Spies and Detective
- Super heroes / heroines
- Murder and Mystery
- Sword Fighting and
- Naag Films etc.
Today’s film ‘Doctor Z’, falls under Science Fiction category. Though it was a C grade action film, HFGK mentions it as a ‘Social’ film. May be, as it was not exactly a stunt film, the film may have been classified as a social film. The story of this film was just a one line story, expanded at convenience as per needs of audiences. Mahipal – a Police officer is after a gang of anti-national criminals, who want to steal a formula from a scientist, which can destroy a big country like India in just 2 minutes. He (naturally, compulsorily and as per the director’s directions) falls in love with the scientist’s pretty daughter to sing songs, when not on duty. The film ends on expected Happy Notes.
The cast of the film was Shakila, Mahipal, Helen, Krishnakumari, Mirza Musharraf, Sunder, Tun Tun and a host of other junior actors. The film was made by Baliwala Films. It was produced and directed by its owner Jal. There were two lyricists and the 8 melodious songs were composed by Music Director Manohar Arora. Now this Manohar was a separate, different and independent composer. Most sites and blogs mistake him for being Manoharlal Sonik, of Sonik-Omi composer duo. This is NOT so. He was different. 2 songs from this film have been posted on this blog and both the times he was mentioned as Manoharlal Sonik. I must confess that I was responsible for this mix up. I had made a comment in 2011 that he was Manoharlal Sonik of the duo, which was a wrong statement. 3 years after that comment the real information about Manohar came up, hence I am making this clarification, at this opportunity. I feel sorry that I had followed the wrong info track that time.
The composer MANOHAR ARORA was a Punjabi music director who came from Sialkot to try his luck in Bombay. His first film was ‘Raees’ in 1948. Then came ‘Josh’ in 1950, ‘Rangeele Musafir’ (1950), ‘Bhoole Bhatke’ (1952), ‘Jingo’ (1952), ‘Usha Kiran’ (1952). His best remembered film was ‘Chingari’ (1955). Then came ‘Passing Show’ (1956), ‘Mister Q’ (1958), ‘Dr. Z’ (1959), ‘Choron Ki Baarat’ (1960) and last film was ‘Do Dushman’ (1967). His name is mostly written as ‘Manohar’ only. This created a misunderstanding that he was Manoharlal Sonik, which is NOT correct.
From the cast of this film, Krishna Kumari is another name which causes confusion. There was a Krishna Kumari in silent films and talkie films of the 1930s. Then there was another Krishna Kumari who was from South and featured in dubbed and remade films. She too is different. Actress Krishna Kumari who worked in Hindi films from 1948 to 1968 was another one.
Krishna Kumari (not to be confused with the 1930s actress of the same name nor the south Indian actress T. Krishna Kumari) was born Rajinder Kaur in Rawalpindi, Punjab state (now part of Pakistan) on October 3, 1934. Occasionally playing the heroine in B-grade films including ‘Vanraj’ (1952), ‘Gorilla’ (1953), ‘Black Rider’ (1960), ‘State Express’ (1961) and ‘Khush Naseeb’ (1964) she is probably much better known as a temptress or villain in the likes of ‘Baghdad Ka Jaadu’ (1956), ‘Zimbo’ (1958), ‘Police Station’ (1959), ‘Lady Of The Lake’ (1960), ‘Jaadu Mahal’ (1962) or dozens of similar action, horror and fantasy films.
Her debut came in the film ‘Girls School’ (1949), which also featured newcomers Geeta Bali and Shashikala, after which she appeared in ‘Nao’, which actually ended up in theaters first, releasing in 1948, just two months after her film ‘Intezaar’ (1948) was released. Film ‘Girls School’ was stalled due to the dispute between Amiya Chakravarty and Anil Biswas.
Krishna Kumari’s career lasted 20 years, and during that time she managed to chalk up an impressive amount of credits, even if most of the pictures she made were not considered important by critics. She acted in 117 films. Her first film on screen was ‘Intezaar’ (1948) and last film was ‘Jung Aur Aman’ (1968).
Hiralal is a familiar face to every fan of vintage Bollywood as he played countless character parts, often as the villain, in literally hundreds of films both big and small.
He was born Hiralal Thakur on March 14, 1912 in Lahore (now part of Pakistan) and began his career in silent films with AR Kardar’s ‘Safdar Jung’ which was released in 1930, while his second film, ‘Daughters of Today’, actually made it to movie theaters first, in 1929. He was under contract to United Players Corporation and made several silent pictures for them before making the transition to sound and moving on to other studios for films like ‘Pavitra Ganga’ (1932), ‘Seeta’ (1934), and ‘Blood Feud’ (1935).
Some of his notable fantasy, sci-fi and horror films include ‘Khooni Jadugar’ (1939), ‘Arabian Nights’ (1946), ‘Mehbooba’ (1954), ‘Hatimtai Ki Beti’ (1955), ‘Roop Basant’ (1955), ‘Sakhi Hatim‘ (1955), ‘Shah Behram‘ (1955), ‘Indra Sabha’ (1956), ‘Shaan-e-Hatim’ (1958), ‘Dr. Z (1959), Dr. Shaitan (1960), Jadoo Mahal (1962), Flying Man (1965), Gumnaam (1965), Sindbad, Alibaba and Alladin (1965), Love and Murder‘ (1966), ‘Sheba and Hercules’ (1967), and ‘Alibaba’ (1976). Hiralal worked continuously until his death on June 27, 1982.
He had worked in 203 films. His first film was ‘Pavitra Ganga’ (1932) and last film was ‘Kaalia’ (1981).

Lyrics (Provided by Sudhir)
main hoon bhaiya dim timkar
baap mera tee timtimkar
eh he dil gum hui gavaa
pyaar mein khui gavaa
ik tu samajh dilbar
main hoon madam rimjhimkar
maa meri thi simsimkar
nainwa chubhoi gavaa
jisko wo rui gavaa
tu ka hui rehat khabar
itna akad mat
arey mujh se jhagad mat
baat nahin ye achhi
dil ko jakad mat
mujh pe bigad mat
preet meri hai sachchi
zara muskaaye di ho
dil ko khilaaye di ho
zulm karat kyon dil par..rr
main hoon madam rimjhimkar
maa meri thi simsimkar
nainwa chubhoi gavaa
jisko wo rui gavaa
tu ka hui rehat khabar
pyaar jataa mat
zyaada mujhko banaa mat
matlab ki sab yaari
nazren phira mat
haaye re haaye dil ko jalaa mat
kuchh to dikha dildaari
mera naam lio nahin
aisa kabhi kio nahin
varna to jayi ho mar mar
main hoon bhaiya dim timkar
baap mera tee timtimkar
eh he dil gum hui gavaa
pyaar mein khui gavaa
ik tu samajh dilbar
dil tera ghar hai
meri jaan tera hi jigar hai
tujh pe sab kurbaan
pyaar ka asar hai
jhoomti nazar hai
hanste hain armaan
aaj mera dil gaya
to se jaa ke mil gayaa
hui bina judaa dam bhar
main hoon bhaiya dim timkar
baap mera tee timtimkar
eh he dil gum hui gavaa
pyaar mein khui gavaa
ik tu samajh dilbar
main hoon madam rimjhimkar
maa meri thi simsimkar
nainwa chubhoi gavaa
jisko wo rui gavaa
tu ka hui rehat khabar
lar lar lallaa pam pam pam

मैं हूँ भईया डीम टिमकर
बाप मेरा टी टिमटिमकर
एह हे दिल गुम हुई गवा
प्यार में खुई गवा
इक तू समझ दिलबर
मैं हूँ मैडम रिमझिमकर
माँ मेरी थी सिमसिमकर
नैनवा चुभोई गवा
जिसको वो रुई गवा
तू का हुई रहत खबर
इतना अकड़ मत
अरे मुझ से झगड़ मत
बात नहीं ये अच्छी
दिल को जकड़ मत
मुझ पे बिगड़ मत
प्रीत मेरी है सच्ची
ज़रा मुस्काए दी हो
दिल को खिलाये दी हो
ज़ुल्म करत क्यों दिल पर॰॰र्र
मैं हूँ मैडम रिमझिमकर
माँ मेरी थी सिमसिमकर
नैनवा चुभोई गवा
जिसको वो रुई गवा
तू का हुई रहत खबर
प्यार जता मत
ज़्यादा मुझको बना मत
मतलब की सब यारी
नज़रें फिरा मत
हाय रे हाए दिल को जला मत
कुछ तो दिखा दिलदारी
मेरा नाम लियो नहीं
ऐसा कभी कियो नहीं
वरना तो जई हो मर मर
मैं हूँ भईया डीम टिमकर
बाप मेरा टी टिमटिमकर
एह हे दिल गुम हुई गवा
प्यार में खुई गवा
इक तू समझ दिलबर
दिल तेरा घर है
मेरी जान तेरा ही जिगर है
तुझ पे सब क़ुर्बान
प्यार का असर है\
झूमती नज़र है
हँसते हैं अरमान
आज मेरा दिल गया
तो से जा के मिल गया
हुई बिना जुदा दम भर
मैं हूँ भईया डीम टिमकर
बाप मेरा टी टिमटिमकर
एह हे दिल गुम हुई गवा
प्यार में खुई गवा
इक तू समझ दिलबर
मैं हूँ मैडम रिमझिमकर
माँ मेरी थी सिमसिमकर
नैनवा चुभोई गवा
जिसको वो रुई गवा
तू का हुई रहत खबर
लर लर लल्ला पम पम पम
O Lily Lily Lily Lily Lily

| Blog Day : | 3600 | Post No. : | 14367 |
Today (27 may 2018) is the 3600th day for the blog. A quick mental calculation would show that one year has 365 days so ten years has (365 x 10) + 3 =3653 days. In other words, this blog is just 53 days short of turning TEN years old.
A quick mental calculation would also show that 3600 x 4 = 14400. We would have been at song number 14400, if we were going at a rate of four songs a day. We were indeed maintaining that rate till two weeks ago. But now we have falleed behind that strike rate. Hopefully we will soon catch up on this strike rate.
Arriving at this century mark- an “artificial” century mark, as I like to describe such landmarks, calls for celebration. No, not some serious grim kind of celebration, but a rather light hearted silly kind of celebration.
I have stumbled upon just the kind of song that serves as an appropriately silly kind of song for the occasion. This song does not have the word “silly” in it, but it contains plentiful of words rhyming with “silly”. 🙂
This song is from a movie that is called “Laalten”(1956). “Laalten”(1956) was directed by Harish for Harish Productions, Bombay. The movie had Geeta Bali, Motilal, Kanhaiyalal, Shammi, Mukri, Indira Bansal, Indu Paul, Harish, Uma Dutt, Mohan Choti, Nazir Kashmiri, Ravikant, Kanwal Dukhiya, Arvind Kumar, Shakeel Nomani, Bishan Khanna, T N Charlie, A Qadir, Ratan Gaurang, Fazal Karim, Hameed Majnu, Bismillah, Nawab Kashmiri, Kamal Mohan etc. with Bhudo Advani in guest appearance.
This rare movie, which sounds like a fun movie had eight songs in it. Three song from the movie has been covered in the past. The previous song from this movie has appeared on day number 2986. So this song appears after a passage of another 614 days !
This “silly” fun song is sung by Balbir and Geeta Dutt. Shewan Rizvi, normally associated with “serious” songs lets his hair down penning the fun lyrics of this song. Hemant Kumar, normally associated with serious sombre kind of music also enjoys himself likewise. 🙂
Only the audio of this song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw laalten light 🙂 on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.
Song-O lily lily lily lily lily (Laalten)(1956) Singers-Balbir, Geeta Dutt, Lyrics-Shewan Rizvi, MD-Hemant Kumar
