I have mentioned in the past that Hindi movie music is like an ocean and that some of gems in this ocean are buried deep and they can be brought up only by diving deep into it.

Itna to bata de ae dil

The popularity of characters such as Tarzan shows that there is a child within all human beings, no matter how much they grow up physically. The fact that there have been so many movies on the theme of characters like Tarzan and Zimbo means that this theme must have paid off for the makers of these movies.

I am told by my daughter (don’t know how she keeps track of all this in between her tight schedule of finishing her projects etc) that today (15 april 2013) is Hasrat Jaipuri’s birthday. I am sure every one knows a lot about Hasrat Saab’s history, where he was born (Jaipur), his birth name (Iqbal Hussain). How he fell in love with a Hindu girl in his youth – the song “Yeh Mera Prem Patra Padhkar” was written for her (so says Wikipedia) which was later used in “Sangam” by Raj Kapoor.

I don’t remember if I have seen the 1960 movie Love in Simla before. But I have heard many of its songs. And one or two songs have remained with me playing in the background of my head. I had marked this movie in the youtube library some time ago and began seeing it recently. The best part about seeing movies on youtube is they come in segments of 12 minutes. And as I was enjoying myself with the CINDERALLA kind of story this particular song came by and I thought “ hey I know this song” then the next step “is it on Atul?” and on searching I find Atuldom has eight songs from this movie but this one is missing.

While Padosan (1968) is much more famous for its funny songs and “mere saamnewali khidki mein”, it has more to it than that. This Kishore Kumar solo for example often gets forgotten when people talk of the songs from this film.

In India people are too quick to categorise communities. For example, they believe that every Marwadi must be Kanjoosh(stingy), every Gujrati must be a businessman, all Kashmiri women must be beautiful. All Parsees must be eccentric or all Sardarjees must be either in Army/ a carpenter or a Truck driver.

I had never heard the name of Hindi film BAABLA (1953) until one of the film’s songs raat ke raahi thhak mat jaana was posted on this blog a few months back. The information about this film on the internet is scanty. The director/s and the most of actors of the film appear to be from Bengali film industry. As per IMDB, the film had two directors – N B Agrami and Bibhuti Laha, the latter also was the Cinematographer for the film. The cast of the film included Paresh Banerjee, Manju Dey, Hiralal, Master Niren, Pahadi Sanyal, Sova Sen etc. The film was produced under the banner of M P Productions which had earlier produced films like ‘Jawaab’ (1942), ‘Hospital’ (1943), ‘Tum Aur Main’ (1947) etc.
