“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.

I have discussed as many as six songs from “Mr and Mrs 55” (1955) and I was under the impression that all songs of the movie had been covered. But I was wrong of course. There are still at least a couple of songs from this movie yet to be discussed.

‘Born with a silver spoon’ is a phrase which has often been used with reference to a person born in a rich family. It would not be out of place if If I coin a similar pharse ‘born with the golden Hindi film songs’ with reference to Bharat Bhushan and Pradeep Kumar. They were blessed with the best of the songs of the golden era by picturising on them. There was not much to talk about their acting capabilities but they were so lucky in their filmy career that they paired with some of the most prolific heroines with their impeachable acting capabilities. No doubt, most of their films became the box office hits. They are known today even to the new generation mainly because of the songs they got to sing on the screen rather than for their acting ability.

Before I actually came across this film, I would not have believed a film by this name. But in the world of cinema, we simply need to cease being surprised at the film titles.
