Today’s song is from a religious film Prabhu ki Maya (1955).
This film was made by the well known Filmistan studios. It was directed by Vithaldas Panchotiya and the Music Director was Ravi Shankar, for whom it was his only second movie as an independent composer. He went on to do 112 Hindi films composing 796 songs. He also sang 21 songs in 18 films and in addition wrote66 songs in 21 films as a Lyricist. So, what remained was Acting and Directing a film, which he never tried ! He also had a stint as an MD in Malayalam Films with the name ” Bombay Ravi “.
Mythology and Religion are two things which are very popular throughout the world. Not only in India, but all over the world, except probably the Communist countries, where Religion is considered as a Tablet of Opium ! There was a time when many Mythological and Religious films were made in India, but these days this Genre Seems to have shifted to television and almost all Indian language TV stations air the Mythological and Religious serials. The kind of TRP Ramayan and Mahabharat got on TV indicates that the medium has changed but the response of Indians has not changed towards religion. It is not just we Indians who like this Genre, even in older times Hollywood used to make such films. During my World Tour in the early 2000, I had noticed that even in Japan and the Far East they made their Mythological and Religious films.
Fundamentally, Indian people are simple people who are God fearing and God loving. Indian public never gets tired of the routine.Films on Love Triangle are being made since 1931 till today though by repackaging them differently in keeping with the changing times. Though the final outcome is predictable and very well known to the viewers, these films still celebrate jubilees in the Theatres !
Similarly, all Mythological films are based on the principle of ” Satyamev jayate” or “Victory of good over the Evil”. Each film presents it in different ‘dressing’ and different routes. The fights of the Gods and the Rakshasas are very interesting, because of lot of firework (literally and figuratively), Trick scenes and unimaginable get-ups of the Rakshasas ( like only one eye on the forehead, or half animal body or simply an ugly looking Giant etc ). In olden days, I remember that there used to be loud rants of “Jai Shri Ram ” or ” Har Har Mahadev” within the theatre at the end of the movie- depending on who the main God of the film was.
But then, who are these Asurs, daitya or the Rakshasas ?
Their literary origins can be traced to Vedic sources through Hymn 87 of the tenth mandala of the Rig Veda. Here they are classified amongst the Yatudhanas, demonic creatures who consume the flesh of humans. It is said that Rakshasas were created from the breath of Brahma when he was asleep at the end of the Satya Yuga. As soon as they were created, they were so filled with bloodlust that they started eating Brahma himself. Brahma shouted “Rakshama!” (Sanskrit for “protect me!”) and Vishnu came to his aid, banishing to Earth all Rakshasas (thus named after Brahma’s cry for help).
The tracing back to Kashyapa is not necessarily a later edit, but is not mentioned in the dense Hymns of the Vedas because of poetic choice. The knowledge of the Rakshasa lineage traceable to Kashyapa may have been known at the time of the compilation of the Vedas, but lineages are altogether foreign from the style of the Vedas and thus would have appeared out of place. That is why the Puranas and Epics elaborate on lineages, but Vedas do not.
Kashyapa was married to the thirteen daughters of Daksha, among them were Aditi, Diti and Danu.
His sons with Danu are the Danavas
His sons with Diti are the Daityas
His sons with Aditi are the Adityas, who are considered Devas and are also called Suras.
Rakshasa were most often depicted as ugly, fierce-looking and enormous creatures with two fangs protruding down from the top of the mouth as well as sharp, claw-like fingernails. They are shown as being mean, growling like beasts and as insatiable cannibals who could smell the scent of flesh. Some of the more ferocious ones were shown with flaming red eyes and hair, drinking blood with their palms or from a human skull (similar to vampires in later Western mythology). Generally they could fly, vanish, and had Mayaawi shakti (magical powers of illusion), which enabled them to change size at will and assume the form of any creature.
Aside from its treatment of unnamed rank-and-file Rakshasas, the epic tells the stories of certain members of the race who rose to prominence, some of them as heroes, most of them as villains. In the world of the Ramayana and Mahabharata, Rakshasas were a populous race of supernatural humanoids. There were both good and evil rakshasas, and as warriors they fought alongside the armies of both good and evil. They were powerful warriors, expert magicians and illusionists. As shape-changers, they could assume various physical forms, and it was not always clear whether they had a true or natural form. As illusionists, they were capable of creating appearances which were real to those who believed in them or who failed to dispel them. Some of the rakshasas were said to be man-eaters, and made their gleeful appearance when the slaughter on the battlefield was at its worst. Occasionally they served as rank-and-file soldiers in the service of one or the other warlord.
As far as Religious films are concerned, there is no dearth of stories. During the Bhakti Movement in India, right from the 6th century it originated in Tamilnadu and spread all over. Its peak period was between the 15th and 17th Century. Though it was primarily to invoke the feelings among the natives to fight aggressors to save our culture and religion, it also provided abundant material for books, dramas, Kirtans and finally films, getting inspiration from the lives of the saints of this period. Today’s film is a Religious film mixing a little of Mythology. The story of the film ” Prabhu Ki Maya” (1955) was…..
A landlord is weeping as his son has died of Snake Bite. By coincidence, Swami Atmanand is passing by. Seeing the plight of the father, he revives his son and advises the landlord not to get involved in worldly affairs and lead a detached life like Shukdev. Upon asking about the story, Swami tells the story.
Instigated and coaxed by Narada, Parvati goes to Shiv ji and requests to learn the secret of Amaratva (immortality),so that she can become Amar too. Shivji,in a good mood then, narrates the Tatva to her, but in the long discourse Parvati falls asleep and the rest of the tatva is heard by a small bird-Shukdev. When Shiv ji learns about this, he wants to destroy Shukdev. Terrified, Shukdev enters the open mouth of Vyas Muni’s wife, when she is yawning. Once inside ,he remains safe for 12 years.It takes a birth and immediately flies away in search of Bramhagyan. Narada takes him to Vyas Muni,who teaches him and then takes him to King Janaka. While in transit Shukdev sees a Lion, killed by king Parikshit get salvation by listening to Shrimad Bhagwat. A thirsty King Parikshit goes to Shyamak muni’s ashram and asks for water. Since the Muni is in samadhi, he does not respond,so irritated, king Parikshit puts a dead snake in his neck. This is seen by Muni’s son and he curses Parikshit. To get rid of the curse he goes to Ganga maiya who sends him to Shuk Dev. After listening to Shrimad Bhagwat from Shukdev, King Parikshit goes to heaven freed from the curse.
The film emphasises the need for everyone to read Shrimad Bhagwat daily for total salvation.
The director of this film was Vithaldas Panchotiya ( Born 15 October 1906-Died 2 October 1987 ). Except those readers, who have a knowledge of early era Hindi films, it is unlikely that other readers might have even heard this name. In the early era, when the studio system was firmly established, the artistes employed by the studio had no specific duties. Anybody and everybody had to do what was needed by the company. Due to this many capable artistes became all rounders in film making.
Vithaldas Panchotiya was certainly one such person. He has been a Producer, Director, story writer, dialogue writer, screenplay writer, lyricist, Singer, Music Director and God knows what else !
Born in October 1906 in Vadnagar in Gujarat, he followed his father’s footsteps. His father worked in stage dramas and toured with the drama company. From the age of 8 years Vithaldas started acting in dramas. Later he joined Calcutta’s Alfred Drama company, owned by Madon Theatres Limited. He worked on a salary of Rs. 35 pm. While working in dramas, he established his own Gujarat Film company and produced 12 silent films in 10 years. Vithaldas first acted in the silent film ‘ Dhruv charitra’-1921. He learnt dance and music too. He acted , directed, sang songs and gave music also. He acted in Talkie film ” Muflis Ashiqe”-1932, claimed to be India’s first comedy film. He acted, sang and composed music for this film.
Being a staunch Gandhian, he used to participate in rallies etc. Some of his films were Hindustan-32, Insaf ki Tope-34, Gaibi Gola-35 ( he was the writer and the director too.He gave a break to Baby Noorjahan in this film.), Khudai Khidamadgar-37 aka Garib ki Tope, Takdir ki Tope-38 etc . As per one source, he acted in 35 films, directed 10 talkie films, sang 8 songs, gave music to 1 film and wrote Lyrics to 2 films. Additionally story, dialogues and screenplay writing were also done by him. Some of his films were, Shaikh chilli-37, Khush naseeb-46, Prabhu ki maya-55, Ghar ki numaish-49, Karmaveer-38, Raman-54, Jagriti-54, Hum sab chor hain-56, Basant 60, Bhagvat mahima etc.
I find it very difficult to know exactly how many films he did in various capacities in the 1930s, as there are conflicting claims by him and Master Fida Hussain. In a few cases the details in HFGK and what he claims, gets contradicted. Some of his films in the 40s are Ramanuj-43, Giribala-47, Grihalaxmi-48, Ghar ki Numaish-48 ( released only in 1962, with the title ‘ Jai ho muhabbat ki ‘ )
Thanks to information and statistical data provided by Shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji of Surat, we know that his Filmography consists of a total 11+ 26 films. The break up is-
11 silent films
25 Talkie films as Actor and 1 film as a writer only.
9 films as a Director
2 films as Lyricist and
2 films as Music Director
As per Muvyz data, he sang 37 songs in 8 films.
From 1951 to 1960, he did 13 films- mostly ( 9) for Filmistan. He directed 2 of them. After 1960 his work was reduced. The death of his 3 sons broke him emotionally. As a true Gandhian, it was his dream to make a film- Gandhi Sangram- on Mahatma Gandhi. He had done all the spade work and the Muhurat of shooting was also done on 2-10-1987, The Government had promised finance. Even Rajiv Gandhi promised him that. However nothing came to him and he died on 30-10-1996, with his dream unfulfilled.
His daughter Shradha used to work in Gujarati films. She too died in a Train accident in 2000. Her daughter Deepshikha is an actress.
Today’s song is sung by Hemant Kumar, Asha Bhosle and Chorus. Enjoy the song….

Today’s song is from the ‘1959’ movie ‘Saahil’.
I recall becoming aware of this title while going throough HFGK Vol-III (1951-1960) during my stay at Nagpur. I would regularly browse through the IIIrd volume of HFGK for the decade 1951-1960 those days(2015-2017). After that I went to Kenya for a project which lasted around three years. I came back after completion of the project in December’2019. Since then, I am more or less sharing songs from seventies and eighties, sometimes end of sixties. Songs of 1950s have become few and far between.
I do not recall being aware of the songs of ‘Saahil-1959’. It was only a few days back that our regular reader Shri. Deepak Patwardhan ji suggested a song from this movie which was sung by Hemant Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. On checking the details, I find that the song he had suggested had already been posted on the blog long back (in 2011) and it is from the movie ‘Aandhiyaan-1952’. The song is ‘wo chaand nahin hai dil hai kisi deewaane ka’ ….
However, that gave me an opportunity to know more about the songs from ‘Saahil-1959’. I listened to some of them. Today I am presenting a lovely duet sung by Hemant Kumar and Asha Bhonsle from this movie.
“Saahil-1959” was directed by Agrawal K. Bhushan for ‘Filmnagar Studios, Bombay’. Agrawal K. Bhushan was also the producer of this movie.
“Saahil-1959” had Shammi Kapoor, Chitra, Murad, Sapru, Amar, Jankidas, Rajan Kapoor, Kuldeep Kaur, and others.
This movie had the following ten songs in it.
| SNo | Song Title | Lyricist | Singer/s | Composer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Sheetal pawan sanaasan doley | Janardan Muktidoot | Asha Bhonsle | Suresh Talwar |
| 02 | Aayi milan ki raat, raja ho raja | Anjaan | Asha Bhonsle,chorus | Suresh Talwar |
| 03 | O gori huaa huaa… maan ya na | Jeet | Asha Bhonsle, Mohd Rafi, chorus | Suresh Talwar |
| 04 | Raat aadhi ho gayi…tere mere mere tere dil… | Janardan Muktidoot | Asha Bhonsle, Hemant Kumar | Suresh Talwar |
| 05 | Dekho ji, hamen na dena dhokha | Indeevar | Asha Bhonsle | D.C. Dutt |
| 06 | Afsos meri taqdeer bante hi bigad gayi | Indeevar | Asha Bhonsle | D.C. Dutt |
| 07 | Muhabbat sabko milti hai … door hataa do | Saraswati Kr ‘Deepak’ | Asha Bhonsle,chorus | Suresh Talwar |
| 08 | Tumhaari muhabbat hai ik cheez aisi | Kulbhushan | Asha Bhonsle, Hemant Kumar | Suresh Talwar |
| 09 | Aaja re manjhdhaar mein …ye pyaar ki pukaar hai | Taban Jhansvi | Geeta Dutt | Suresh Talwar |
| 10 | Tum judaa kya ho gaye… khatm kar de daastaan | Taban Jhansvi | Geeta Dutt | Suresh Talwar |
HFGK Vol-III (1951-1960) mentions in the footnote that the songs of this movie were recorded in 1954-1955, though the movie was released in 1959.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 08.04.1959.
Only one song ‘aaja re manjhdhaar mein … ye pyaar ki pukaar hai’ has been posted on the blog on 20.10.2016.
Today we are going to listen to the second song from this movie. Today’s song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and Hemant Kumar.
Lyrics are by Kulbhushan and music is composed by Suresh Talwar.
Let us enjoy today’s song. Only audio of this song is available.
Song-Tumhaari muhabbat hai ik cheez aisi (Saahil)(1959) Singers-Hemant Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Kulbhushan, MD-Suresh Talwar

I have in one of my earlier posts mentioned this that music lovers like me always have songs playing in their mind. Or some incidents/memories will always bring some song to mind (that is what I think). For me many things / situations time to time bring me to some song, or it will remind me of some song that I would have listened earlier may be years before or a song which is lying dormant in my memory.

I always feel that ‘technological advances’ have immensely benefitted all music lovers, because they have made the vast treasure of the HFM accessible for us and this vast treasure is getting enriched day by day thanks to the contributions of HFM lovers.

MISSING GEMS FROM THE GOLDEN 50s…. Song No….9
————————————————————————————
Today’s song is from the 1957 film ‘Ek Jhalak’.
1957 – what a year it was! The best year in the Golden Era! The best year in the 50s! The best year for melody and music! Such wonderful films came in this year!!! The lineup of 1957 films looks like the selection of the creamy layer in everlasting music – ‘Mother India’, ‘Pyasa’, ‘Tumsa Nahin Dekha’, ‘Bhabhi’, ‘Asha’, ‘Miss Mary’, ‘Naya Daur’, ‘Do Aankhen Baarah Haath’, ‘Paying Guest’, ‘Nau Do Gyarah’, ‘Dekh Kabira Roya’. ‘Nausherwaan e Adil, ‘Gateway Of India’, ‘Hum Panchhi Ek Daal Ke, ‘Kathputali’, ‘Sharada’ . . . Films produced in Madras were quite popular. AVM’s ‘Bhabhi’, ‘Miss Mary’ and ‘Hum Panchhi Ek Daal Ke’, Prasad Production’s first Hindi film ‘Sharda’, and MV Raman’s film ‘Asha’ played havoc with their captive audiences. Films from south somehow have always concocted a success formula, mixing comedy, tragedy, social message, excellent production values and above all superb music, which made their films very popular everywhere.

In the days before the 1930s, the theatre was the more powerful media for entertainment and creativity, more so than the silent movies. The Parsi theatre found its roots in India, during the 1850s, and grew in popularity and influence over the subsequent decades, The early decades of 1900s saw the growth of the Parsi theatre (or Parsi Thiyetar, as it was known in those times) in Bombay. Many stalwarts that we see in the vintage classic movies of 30s and 40s, got their feet wet on the stage productions of Parsi theatre.
