Today’s song is from the film Ek Roz-1947.

How many readers will know that a record number of films were made in 1947 in Hindi till then ? 181 Films ! It took another almost 40 years to cross this number. In the year 1985, the number of films made was 185.

Why was it that in 1947 alone such a high number of Hindi films were made ? The answer is – Partition of India in 1947 and the subsequent migration of Muslim film artistes to the newly created nation on the basis of Religion – Pakistan. Partition of India was the biggest blow to India, which had remained One Nation for thousands of years, despite having many religions thriving in it. Anyway, that is not the topic here.

Today (25 March 2024) is the festival of Holi, the festival of colour.

The word Holi is derived from demoness Holika.

The tale of Holika and her relatives is quite interesting. According to legends, she was an Asuri who was the daughter of Kashyap and Diti. Rahu and Ketu were her sons.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Shrikrishna Bhakti-1955.

This was a Mythological film (पौराणिक ), directed by the “Trick Magician” – Babubhai Mistri. The music director was the Melody Maker – Chitragupta. The cast of the film was Manmohan Krishna, Lalita Pawar, Mahipal, Bipin Gupta, B.M.Vyas, Dalpat and many others. A special feature of this film was that there were as many as 7 “Guest Appearance ” artistes – clearly a record number for any film till then. I doubt very much if any other film has broken this record. Any reader, who knows about more than 7 Guest artistes in a film, mentioned in the HFGK, so far, may please give the information in the Comments column. The Guest artistes in this film were….Krishna Kumari, Anwar Hussain, Maruti, Shaikh, Indira bansal, Bagala and Chitalkar (surprised with this name !).

Today (12 November 2023) is “Deepaawali”, the festival of lights.

In some of my earlier posts discussing Deepawali, I have opined that Indians are not performing Laxmi Puja the right way and that is why we are not being adequately blessed by Goddess Laxmi. In those posts, I alluded to our habits (passed down to us over generations) that was keeping us poor.

Today (8 march 2023) is Holi, the festival of colour. The mythology and history behind the festival are well known and need not be repeated.

Still there were some facts about Holi that I was not aware of. For example, I was not aware that Holi festival falls on Poornima (full moon day), which is the last day of the month of falgun (also called Phagun). This is in fact the last day of the Vikram Samwat Calender. The next day, viz first day of The month of Chaitra starts is the first day of the new year of Vikram Samwat.
