When one looks at Hindi movies, one realises that the dominant genres of Hindi movies keep changing with time. In the early decades of 1930, fantasy movies and mythological movies ruled the roost. From late 1940s, melancholic movies became popular.

In 1950s, crime movies, inspired from similar movies made in the west, began to be made by Hindi movie makers. Then we saw lost and found stories in 1960s, and angry young man stories in 1970s and so on.

One notices that the music in crime movies of 1950s were also inspired from west. In some cases, tunes were lifted from western tunes. Since information age was nowhere in sight those days unlike now so movie makers could get away from plagiarisation with impunity in most cases. Even otherwise, western instruments came into usage in Hindi movie magic that were used to create not only western style music but also desi style music.

Today’s song is from a Cult Film ” Har Har Mahadev”-1950.

I have mentioned several times here that our family was a Kattar Shiv Bhakt. So, it was no wonder that we all saw every film collectively, which had some connection to Lord Shiva. Film Har Har Mahadev-1950 was afterall a ‘Cult’ film, so there was no count how many times we saw this film. In the later years too, whenever this film came for the 2nd, 3rd or ‘N’th re run, I had seen it.

Today’s song is the last song from the film ” Maha Pooja”-1954 to be covered here and thus making the film YIPPEED !

In the last 8 songs of this film, a lot of related matters, including its story, has been discussed. The film is about the well known story of The Satyanarayan Katha, its importance and how performing this Pooja can benefit the person doing it. This Pooja is perhaps one of the several common religious and cultural events performed in most parts of India. It is believed that it benefits not only the performer but also those who are present at the Pooja time and consume the Prasad. That is an invitation to attend a Satyanarayan Pooja is generally honoured by everyone.
