#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-42)
—————————–

‘Shree Ram Bharat Milan-1965’, a mythological movie was directed by Manibhai Vyas for R.M. Art Productions, Bombay. It was produced by Ratan and Mohan and presented by Pt Madhur and S.P. Mangal. As mentioned by me in my earlier posts for this movie’s songs, this movie covers the story of Ramayana starting from Seeta Swayamwar, Kaikeyi seeking the throne for her son Bharat, and vanvaas to Shree Raam in lieu of the two boons that Raja Dashrath had promised her earlier, Bharat not accepting the throne and instead carrying Raam’s paadukaa and worshipping it, and finally Raja Raam’s coming back to Ayodhya after fourteen years of vanvaas.

Prithviraj Kapoor played Raja Dashrath, Nirupa Roy played Kaikeyi, Sulochana was Kaushalya, Anita Guha was Seeta, actor Mahipal was Raam’, and actor Rajkumar (from south?) was Bharat. They were supported by the other cast members viz Saraswati, Balakram, Bhuvna, B.M. Vyas, Sunanda, Niranjan Sharma, Padma Rani, Arvind, Vanmala, Joirabhai, Anand Tiwari, C.N. Kapoor, Shekhar Purohit and others.

Today’s song is from an interesting comedy film- 300 days and after-1938.

The title of this film itself was of a different type and not like any other film so far. The story was also of a different type.

This was the first decade of the Talkie films. it had just completed 7 years with 829 films, but in these 7 years many experimental films were made and various types of genres were tried. In these years the stress had been on making films on Folk tales, Mythological and Historical stories, remakes of successful Silent films, Love stories and Social films etc.

Today’s song is a funny, ‘Anokhe Bol’ song from an iconic 86 year old film-Aadmi-1939.

The year was 1939 and the British Government had declared war against Germany and Japan, as soon as the WW II began. All countries ruled by Britain were – willingly or unwillingly, drawn into the war efforts and its effects. The war began in the month of September and soon various restrictions came into operation – like rationing, blackouts, shortages etc. The film industry which was still under its development stage suffered. It also realised the importance of remaining united as one industry. However, all that came after 1 or 2 years. In 1939 there was not much effect seen on the film industry.

Today’s song is from a 85 year old film Haar jeet-1940.

I find so many similar film titles in the film index that sometimes I feel like taking up this issue also as a “Same title Confusions” problem. Luckily there is one trick to clarify among these similar titles and that is its year of making ! Therefore it is necessary that whenever a film is mentioned, its year must also be mentioned to avoid the possible ‘Same Title Confusion’ ! There were 4 films of this title made in 1940, 1954, 1972 and 1990. In addition, I also found 2 more Har jeet films which were left incomplete.

1940 was a period when New Theatres, the makers of Haar jeet-1940, were in top speed and in its Golden period. The film was directed by Amar Mullick. Music was by R.C.Boral-considered as the ‘Grand Old man’ of film music in India. His contribution to the film industry is unforgettable.
