MISSING GEMS FROM THE GOLDEN 50s….Song No-13
———————————————–

Today’s song is from a film called Garma garam-57 which makes its Debut on the Blog today. You may wonder why this 1957 film did not have even one of its songs posted here,so far. The answer is,this film was an outright B grade film with second level actors and its Music Director was a talented composer without much luck. Therefore,in spite of having some very good songs,the film did not get ay recognition. It went as it came, without anyone noticing. Too many comedy actors were stuffed in the cast- Agha, Gope, Omprakash, Bhagwan, Maruti, Haarun, Chhota Gope and Indira Bansal. The film industry is replete with examples of films becoming flops when so many comedians act in one film (exceptions like’ Bombay to Goa” etc are also there though)’.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
——————————————————————————————–
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # 11 # Duet-1 Hemlata, Suresh Wadkar
——————————————————————————————–

For this post I was specially looking for a ‘duet’ and I think this ‘lighthearted’ and ‘typical Ravindra Jain musical’ fits in this series of ‘seventies’ very much.  This one is from the 1978 Film ‘Madhu Maalti’ sung by Suresh Wadkar and Hemlata. Listening to this song reminds us of the popular  “Vrishti Pade Tapor Tupur” from the film ‘Paheli’ (1977), by same team.

MISSING GEMS FROM THE GOLDEN 50s… Song No. 12
—————————————————-

Today’s song is from the 1957 film Ustad.

Ustad was one of those Detective movies that Ashok Kumar has become a specialist in. He was the undisputed choice of all film makers for this genre of films. He too did justice to such films. However, may be due to his age or looks, or due to the nature of this genre, his Heroines in these films were often from the second rung or or else his old companions like Nalini Jaywant, Kamini Kaushal etc. Kumkum, Geeta Gali, and some such actresses acted with him in such movies. Of course Madhubala and even Nutan acted with him in such films.

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # 10 # Kishore Kumar – 2

In my earlier post I had mentioned Kishore Kumar as the ‘voice of the Seventies’, because there are many many songs of Kishore Kumar songs that are associated with the beautiful memories of people like me who have grown in the seventies.

The Wonderful Sounds of 1930s – 3
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

It is 1934 and the fledgling Hindi talkie film industry is in its fourth year only.  The volume of business is slowly continuing to grow.  In the three years prior i.e. 1931-33, a total of 161 films were certified by the Censor Board.  1934 saw a sharp increase in production and in all, 120 new films were certified in this year.  And this production is coming not just from Bombay.  Of course, a major share is produced in Bombay, but almost a quarter of this number comes from the production studios in Calcutta.  Then come Pune, Kolhapur and Lahore – really just a handful.  But still signifying that the production of Hindi films was a focus at multiple centers around the subcontinent.

‘Suno re pyaare bhaai ee, o o o o …’ … I am sure ‘music lovers’ will easily remember the next lines of this song which are ‘prabhu ke bharose haanko gaadi’.

I remember, in my childhood days it was frequently heard on loud speakers during festivals and was also a regular one on radio in those years.

MISSING GEMS FROM THE GOLDEN 50s….Song No. 10
——————————————————-

Today’s song is from a 1957 film-AGRA ROAD.

When I first thought of this series, I had planned to discuss one song from each year of the 50’s decade and wind up after 10 songs. But when I actually started the spade work,I came across so many songs from so many films that I had to curtail songs from the long list. Still, the number stood at 20 songs. A series with more than 10 to 15 songs really becomes monotonous for me to write the articles. My articles contain information about at least 2 to 3 persons,matters or happenings and it requires research,references and collection of data etc. Since I insist on writing only that which I can defend,should a controversy arise,i can not stretch my imagination alone to write the articles.

Whenever I came across some interesting songs/links during my searches, I copy them and save them in my ‘draft folder’, so that it can be taken up and shared whenever suitable.

The link for this –today’s song- was saved by me in August’2013 and it was lying there since then.
