Today’s song is a beautiful Lata song from the film Aan Baan-1956.

The film was a Costume film telling us an age old story about an old dilapidated king,ambitious evil Rajkumar, a Princess in love with the enemy state prince and as expected a Happy end confirming that ” Good prevails over the Bad”. This type of childish stories had slowly failed to entertain the audience, who looked for some fresh different stories set in the current social scene.

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Rangeela Ratan-1976)
——————————————-——————————

In my childhood days I remember I watched many movies with elders in the family, and mostly with brothers and cousins. I have vague memories of watching many such movies. There were many more movies released those days that I missed out on. I did not even watch them later. That does not prevent me from feeling nostalgic for many such movie titles.

Today’s movie is one such movie. This movie is ‘Rangeela Ratan-1976’.

Today’s song is a duet from the film ‘Duniya Jhukti Hai’ (1960).

It was a social film made by the legendary Wadia Movietone. It was directed by the elder of the two brothers- JBH.Wadia. The MD was Hemant Kumar and the songs were written by Rajendra Krishna. The cast of the film was Sunil Dutt, Shyama, Daisy Irani, Kumkum, Agha, BM Vyas, Damuanna Malavankar, Madhu Apte, Dalpat, Neelambai and many others. There are two actors from Marathi cinema. Let us know more about them as not much is known about them in the Hindi cinema world.

Today’s cabaret video song is from the film ‘Jailor’ (1958).

The film from the stable of Minerva Movietone was a remake of its own film ‘Jailor’ made in 1938 with Sohrab Modi, Leela Chitnis, Sadiq Ali etc. The story, dialogues and song lyrics were by 2 persons – Kamaal Amrohi and Amir Hyder. The screenplay was by JK Nanda and music by Meer Sahib. The film was about a good person turning into a cruel and bad person due to personal troubles and again turning into a philanthropic good man, due to change of heart and regrets.

Today, April 29, 2023, is the 3rd Remembrance Day of Irrfan Khan, the actor par excellence. After Guru Dutt, I think, he was the only actor whose eyes spoke more than his dialogues.

Today’s song is from an obscure film called ‘Room No. 17’ from 1961.

This film is categorized as a ‘social’ film in the HFGK. I wonder on what basis it can be called a ‘social’ film. What I understand by ‘social’ category is when the film revolves around a family problem or a social custom. If not that, then at least the film should show a relationship crisis or an age old social evil or even a simple family dispute. But this film is nothing like this. The film story has 4 murders, 2 accidents, kidnapping, police encounter and multiple attacks by criminals. Embedded in all this there is a love story and a murder mystery. In my opinion, the film should have been classified either as a stunt/action film or a crime/mystery film.

Today’s song is from a different type of film….King Kong-1962.

King Kong is actually a fictional Giant Monster resembling a Gorilla. It was created by Merian Cooper. No wonder film wallahs all over the world, especially Hollywood and then Bollywood, were attracted towards King Kong and many films were made on him. The first film King Kong was made in 1933 in Hollywood and released on 7-4-1933. The latest picture King Kong is made in Hollywood in 2022, i.e. last year. It proves that the King Kong magic is still alive !

It really has been a while– I do not follow the current Hindi films scene on a regular basis. I think this started in mid 1980s. One factor was that my life became quite mobile as far as my work situation was concerned. Moving to Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1987, then on to US in 1988, back in Delhi 1996, change of workplace two times, and then back again in the US in 2000. Back in Delhi 2009/10, and then more ongoing travel albeit shorter and less frequent.
