Today’s song is from the film Shiv Bhakta-1955.

This film was made by A.V.M, Madras in their Madras Studio. This is actually the story of Bhakta Kannappa, on whom AVM had made the original Bilingual film in Telugu and Kannada in 1954. This Hindi remake was made in 1955. According to folklore, Lord Shiv ji also blessed Kannappa to be reborn in Kaliyuga as one of his greatest devotees, as Kannappa and to be liberated from birth and rebirth.

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

In this post I am presenting a ‘Qawwalee’ song which is one of my ‘favorite genres’ of songs. So when browsing HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970) I noted that there is a ‘Qawwalee’ in the list of songs from this movie ‘Badmaash-1969’, I immediately checked for its link and it was already available on internet. This movie ‘Badmaash-1969’ made its debut on the blog on 23.05.2018 when our respected Shri Sudhir jee presented its song ‘uthhaa palkein milaa nazren’ on the blog. This movie was then a ‘missing movie’ for the blog.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Punarmilan-1940.

My favourite Marathi/Hindi/English author ISAQ MUJAWAR has written several – over 30 – books on Hindi and Marathi old films, people and related topics. One of his books in English is ” Maharashtra – The Birthplace of the Indian Film Industry”. This is a very rare book to find one. I have the original as well as its xerox copy. The original book was gifted to me by my Friend from Ahmedabad, Mr. P.S.Seshadri. He is an occasional visitor and commenter of this Blog.

This article is his 1400th contribution in the blog as a guest poster.

This is my 1400th post on this Blog. For me, it is like a big dream. I feel I will wake up and find that this figure was only a dream figure ! But looks like it is all real.

While I am glad for this new Milestone, it is still a mystery how it has happened. When I retired from my service in 1998 and later from all professional activities in 2010, I was thinking what to do now. Then one day I remembered about my old notebooks in which I had written about the old films which I saw in my younger days and I opened those Pandora’s boxes. A new world opened before me. I bought a Laptop and learnt how to operate it from my grandchildren, who seemed to be born with that knowledge ! I was 71 years old then.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Beti’ (1941).

This film was made by Ranjit Movietone and it was directed by Jayant Desai. The music was by Gyan Dutt. The film cast consisted of Khursheed, Vasanti, Arun Ahuja, E Bilimorea, Ghori, Kesari, Khatoon, Nagendra, Rewa Shankar etc. 1941 was the beginning of the second decade of the talkie films. Many actors, singers, MDs and directors who rolled over to talkie films from the silent era, slowly started retiring and the new generation took over slowly. Actors like Nagendra, Rewa Shankar, Ghori, Kesari, Khatoon, and Bilimorea who were in this film ended their careers in the next few years.

Today’s song is from the film Manmani-1947.

The film was made by Patel productions. It was directed by Sarvottam Badami and the music was composed by the great one from Bengal – Kamal Dasgupta. Kamal Dasgupta earned fame when he composed many NFS in Hindi and Bengali in the mid 1930 and the 1940s. These became very popular, but somehow his Hindi film music was not that popular, except for the films Jawab-1942 and Hospital-1943, out of the 16 Hindi films for which he gave music. His best song for which he will always be remembered was ” Ye duniya Toofan mail” from the film Jawab-1942. Kamal Dasgupta could not impress with his other film songs in Hindi. 1947 was, in any case, a testing period due to the commotion prevailing in the film industry of Bombay which was affected the most.
