Today’s song is from a costume film Yahudi ki Ladki-1957. The film was produced and directed by S.D.Narang for New oriental Pictures, Bombay. Music was by Hemant Kumar, ably assisted by Ravi, who had already started giving music to films independently since film Vachan-1955. The Lyricist was S.H.Bihari. The film cast included Madhubala, Pradeep Kumar, Gajanan Jahagirdar, Heeralal, Sunder, S.D.Narang, Smriti Biswas, Krishnakant, Helen and many others.
When Talkie films started, films made in Bombay had two major influences. One influence was films made from Calcutta ( in my opinion,every Hindi film coming from Calcutta was like watching a Bangla film with Hindi dialogues,using Bookish Hindi language) and the second influence was that of the Parsee Theatre stories. Parsee Theatre was very active from 1850 to 1930s. With their costumes, sets,stories and dialogues they influenced theatres of all languages of India. Plays were in Gujarati,Hindi,Urdu and English, but its impact was widespread. The Parsee Theatre dramas spread from Bombay to Karachi, Lahore, Dacca, Lucknow, Aligadh, Meerut, Delhi, Calcutta, Jodhpur and Hyderabad. The active theatres lasted till the 40s, but then most big drama companies started film companies like Imperial, Minerva,Wadia and Madan from Calcutta. They borrowed stories from Parsee Shahnama, Arabian Nights, Mahabharat, Shakespeare etc. They employed paid drama writers.

Today, December 25, 2025, is the 10th Remembrance Day of Sadhana, the fashion icon of Hindi cinema in the 1960s. She was also called the ‘mystery girl’ because she acted in three mystery genre of films one after another. In her short filmy career of about 15 years, she had a high success ratio in terms of hit films. She worked with top directors like Bimal Roy, Raj Khosla, Yash Chopra, Hrishikesh Mukherjee and H S Rawail. Her co-stars included Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor, Rajendra Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Raj Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Rajesh Khanna and Dharmendra. Sadhana came and conquered the Hindi film industry in the 1960s and by the end of 1970s, she virtually vanished from the film industry.
