Today’s song is from the film Maa Baap ki Laaj-1946.
1946 was an important year in the history of Hindi films. This was the period when the impending Independence of India was on the Anvil and everyone knew that in the year 1947 it would take place. At the same time when the country was to be divided on the basis of Religion and another muslim country Pakistan was to come into existence. Many of the muslims in the film industry were excitedly awaiting their departure from India to the Utopia. This would, naturally, create a lot of vacancies in every department of film making. However, there was enough talent available in the remaining India to fill up the void. Hence from the year 1946 itself there were several debutantes. This made the year 1946 an year of Debuts of several new actors, directors, MDs, Lyricists etc etc.

Cast included Ranjan, Vijaya Chowdhary, Ramayan Tiwari, Helen, Majnu, Kammo, Shammi, Mridula, Tuntun etc. The VCD of the film is available online but quality of both the video and audio is not good. A feature of this ‘black and white’ film is that all the songs have been picturised in colour.

Today’s song is from a very old film Comrades-1939.
The title of this film is somewhat misleading. Comrades was the common word used for Communist members. I too was confused with this title, but then I realised that a film on Communist ideology was not possible in British India. The film happens to be a story of three friends, 2 Boys and 1 girl. The film could have been titled Friends or Dosti or some similar title. Wish I was there to make this suggestion to the owners of Sagar Movietone !

Hullo Atuldom
Today’s post by Sadanandji has triggered this post. The song in his post was ‘inspired’ by a Sinhalese pop song of the seventies, which most of us have heard and I am sure have sung with ‘our own made-up-lyrics’.
Over the last few months, the social media platform Facebook, has been carrying a countdown of sorts. The countdown ended on 2nd March. The countdown was being posted by some fans of a CULT FILM that had the title “THE SOUND OF MUSIC”. What was special about 2nd March? Any guesses?

‘Parmaatmaa’ (1978) seems to be a forgotten film now. I do not remember to have heard the name of the film during my younger days. The film was produced by Kuljeet Pal under the banner of Parashakti Pictures and was directed by Chand. The star cast included Shatrughan Sinha and Rekha in the lead roles with Pradeep Kumar, Aruna Irani, Imtiaz Khan, Ranjeet, Dev Kumar, Jagdish Raj, Chand Usmani, Helen and Komilla Work in the supporting roles. Probably, this was Shatrughan Sinha’s first film in a lead role and that too the first time he paired with Rekha in a lead role. It appears that the film took a long time to get a theatrical release as I find that song album on LP was issued in 1976 and the film was released in November 1978.
