In olden days, Hindi movie watchers often loved to watch movies telling sad and tragic tales. Personally I never liked watching such movies. I have never watched “Boot Polish” (1953) for this reason.

Munshi Premchand (31 July 1880- 8 october 1936) was a premier Hindi novelist whose novels and stories have had an enormous influence on modern Hindi literature. When I look at his literary output, I am amazed at his vision. His vision was unbelievably progressive and futuristic, especially considering the era he lived in (late 19th century to early 20th century).

“Shrimati 420″(1956), obviously a take on “Shri 420”, was a Sippy Films Production. It was produced and directed by G P Sippy. The movie had Johny walker, Meena Shorey, Om Prakash etc in it. Surprisingly enough, very little information is available on this movie. As far as I can see, only the names of these three actors are known. And to add to the confusion, various “knowledgeable” sites cannot even agree on the music director of this movie. Some sites mention N Datta as the music director, whereas other sites mention O P Nayyar as the music director. I request our knowledeable readers to throw more light on this movie as well as the music director.

During my four decades of sojourn with old Hindi films songs, I have come across many admirers of such songs among my friends, office colleagues and also within my family circle. There were categories of admirers in terms of period songs, fans of some singers, lyricists. music directors etc. There was one more category of admirers who outscored other categories in terms of numbers. Members of this group, while being admirers of popular old Hindi film songs of golden era, were by and large ignorant of other details of the songs especially names of music directors and lyricists. I also noted that out of these details, they were least interested in knowing the names of lyricists.
