Today’s song is the last and final song from a lesser known social film ‘Ek Shola’ (1958).

This film title contains the starting word ‘Ek’, one of the most favorite words of the filmmakers. This word ‘Ek’ is used in 206 film titles, from 1931 to 2012. The film was the first film produced by Deep Khosla and Pradeep Kumar, for their own banner Deep and Pradeep productions, Bombay. It was a joint venture of Deep Khosla and Pradeep Kumar. Deep Khosla, writer-actor became a partner in Pradeep Kumar’s film production company and produced its first film, ‘Ek Shola’ (1958) which went to the production sometime in 1956. Thereafter, the banner produced ‘Ek Jhalak’ (1957), ‘Police’ (1958) and ‘Do Dilon Ki Daastaan’ (1966). In between, their partnership ran into some problems because of trust deficits between Deep Khosla and Pradeep Kumar. It is stated that as a part of the settlement between the two partners, Pradeep Kumar acted free in ‘Batwaara’ (1961) which was produced under the banner of Deep and Sandeep Productions. Sandeep was the son of Kalidas, the brother of Pradeep Kumar. ‘Do Dilon Ki Daastaan’ (1966) was the last released film under the banner, Deep and Pradeep Productions.

Hullo Atuldom

A few days back we got the news of the passing away of veteran actress Sandhya, said to be 93 or 94. Some sources give her birth year as 1938 & place of birth as Kochi? Kochi? I saw this video which was posted as tribute to the departed soul. This video as also some news channels give her birth year as 1930 & place of birth as Gujarat. I recall that there is a post by our in-house encyclopaedia that will give us all the details that we need to know. Details like her birth name was Vijaya Deshmukh, actress Vatsala Deshmukh was her sister, & another actress of Marathi films, the (late) Ranjana Deshmukh was her niece.

Rafi Sahab’s birth centenary year just got over, and we are now commemorating the 45th death anniversary. Within a few years it will be 50 years since he left this mortal world.

One can’t thank the Almighty for the blessings upon us all.

Hullo Atuldom

“Aakrosh” (1980) was directed by Govind Nihalani. Produced by Devi Dutt & NFDC. It had Vijay Tendulkar & Satyadev Dubey as writers; which meant that the film was either an Art film (meaning audiences fed on fantasy & escapist stories would not buy a ticket to see it) or at least a middle of the road film (meaning it showed the realities of the times in a not-so-harsh manner). I have never seen the film, so I don’t know what category it falls under. But various sites on the internet have classified “Aakrosh” as crime – drama.
