Today’s song is from a Mythological film ‘Subhadra’-1946.
The genre of Mythological films was one of the most favourite one of the filmmakers from the day filmmaking started in India. If you remember, even the first ever silent film made by Dadasaheb Phalke- Raja harishchandra-1913 – was based on King Harishchandra’s story from the Vishnu Puran. This was because the Indian culture was such that irrespective of the caste and creed, everyone liked to see these stories which they heard from several generations. In those years, the Hindu population of India was 85 % ( as per 1921 Census). Steadily, these types of films became less and less and by 1990 onwards, as far as I know, there were no Mythological films worth mentioning.

Today’s song is from the ‘1965’ movie “Son of Haatimtaai’. This movie was from the genre of ‘Swapna Chitra’ which I suppose falls in the genre of “Fantasy” movies.
This movie was directed by Dharam Kumar aka Deepak Asha. The cast of this movie has Randhawa, Malika, Mumtaz, Maruti, Shery, Jilani, Nazeer Kashmiri, Roopesh Kumar, Samson, Thakur, Shashimala, Shamim, Kishori and Jani Babu, and others.

‘Ham Deewaane’ (1964) was produced by Natubhai Shah under the banner of Young India Entertainers and was directed by Master Bhagwan. The cast included Chandrashekhar, Master Bhagwan, Mumtaz, Helen, Iftekhar, Agha, Rajan Haksar, Maruti, Kundan, Anwar, Kanchanmala etc. This film was one among many attempts by Master Bhagwan to revive his filmy career which was being reduced to acting in small roles. However, this film was also an attempt to revive the musical career of C Ramchandra who composed the songs for this film as Anna Saheb, the name he had often used when associated with the films produced/directed by Master Bhagwan.

Today’s song is a Fun song from the serious social film Padosi-1941.
The film was the last directorial offering by V.Shantaram, before he left Prabhat Film Company due to internal differences and the pressure put on him to quit the company because he wanted to marry the Company’s heroine Jayashree (Kamulkar). This was the rule in Prabhat film company that no director will ever get involved with any lady artist from the company or marry her. He should quit the company.

# Singer Yesudas’s Birthday #
————————————————————
Today 10th January 2025 is the eighty-fifth birthday of Singer Yesudas (born on 10.01.1940). As of now the statistics page on the blog doesn’t mention the total number of songs Yesudas has sung for Hindi movies. I am sure we will be adding these details soon with one of his songs here. In one of my earlier post I had given the filmography of Yesudas from his debut in Hindi films up to the year 1980. This figure has 84 songs from 52 films. So far, we have not even touched these 84 songs of him on the blog. That means we still have a long way to go before we can cover aa Yesudas songs. Today on his 85th birthday we have already covered two songs sung by him. I am adding one more to his tally today.

# Singer Yesudas’s Birth Anniversary #
————————————————————
Today 10th January 2025 is the eighty-fifth birthday of Singer Yesudas (born on 10.01.1940). We will celebrate his occasion by covering a few songs sung by him. I have already presented one song from the 1980 movie ‘Maan Abhimaan’. In this post, I am presenting a song from the ‘1984’ movie ‘Ek Nayee Pahelee’. This is another song of Yesudas which I was longing to share here. All these years I had never watched this movie ‘Ek Nayee Pahelee’ and I watched it now on the new year day. However, I was aware of this song from this movie as it was played on radio for the promotion of this movie when it was being released in 1984.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 27.02.1984. So, it must be around the summer of ‘1984’ when it was released in theatres around the place I was staying then. Because I have these memories of listening this song on radio of that summer season while sleeping out in the courtyard.

#Happy Birthday Yesudas #
——————————————
Today 10th January 2025 is the eighty-fifth birthday of Singer Yesudas (born on 10.01.1940). His voice is one of the special voices of the seventies which I love. I have given detailed account of the many songs sung by Yesudas and my memories associated with those songs in an earlier post.
Today on the occasion of Yesudas’ eighty-fifty birthday I am presenting a song from the seventies which is from the movie ‘Maan Abhimaan-1980’. Yesudas had sung two solo songs in this movie, both of which are great songs. One Yesudas songsong from the movie has already been covered on the blog on 10.01.2017.
