This is my 1900th post on this Blog. This is the second fastest century. For the 16th century, it took me only 119 days, whereas today’s century took 127 days. For me, it is like a dream. I still can not believe that I wrote 1900 articles on this Blog alone. Add to it another 100+ articles on other blogs and sites. Add to it my 13 books published. Add to it scores of books mentioning me and referring to my writings. Add to it countless friends I have gained in the last 14 odd years. Add to it…..
The list would be too long. When I look back, I wonder how all this happened. After retirement, generally people find it difficult to spend time. Here I was, sometimes I had to strive hard to manage time to cope up with my work. At the age of 86 years, I could do all the above, in addition to my work as an Independent Director on the Board of Directors of two major Pharma companies. For this I thank The Almighty and pray that He continues to provide the required energy to me to go on further, till I am destined to be here.

Today’s song is from an old comedy social film – Do Deewane-1936. The film was made by Sagar Movietone.
The film cast included Motilal, Shobhana Samarth, Yakub, Aruna Devi, Sankata Prasad, Bhudo Advani and others. The name of Aruna Devi may be a new one for many. She started acting in films with the film Village Girl-36. The same year, she also acted in Mard ka Bacha, Lagna Bandhan,Do Deewane and Deccan Queen ( she did a double role in this film. She also sang 2 songs in this film.) and in 1938 she acted in her last film Asha-38. After this she got married to a businessman Mr. Nanavati and settled in England- ending her very short career as an actress.

Today’s song is from the social film Albeli-1945.
There were 3 Same Title films in 1945, 1955 and 1974. To match it, there were 4 films titled Albela in 1851, 1971, 1990 and 2001. There was also Albela mastana in 1967.
This was a Talwar production, Calcutta film. Directed by its owner R.C.Talwar, it had music by G.A. Chishti. There were 2 lyricists – Shanti Swarup ‘Kaif’ and Chishti himself. HGFK, however, does not credit any song to any Lyricist or any singer. Thus, one has to depend upon his own judgement about the singer or believe the uploader’s mention.
The cast of the film was Ramola, Rooplekha, Manorama, Usha, Sunder, Heeralal and others. Film Albeli’s review came in the March – 46 issue of Film India magazine. As usual, Baburao Patel had nothing good to say about this film. The film’s story centred around the love affair of a street girl and a Gypsy boy, who is loved by two more girls. The film was released on 22-12-1945 at Central Cinema, Bombay. The story was by Talwar himself. Dialogues and Screenplay was by J.S.Casshyap. The film’s hero was Satish.

Today’s song is from an early era film – Jailor-1938.
1938 was an interesting year in the early life of the Talkie films. The film making studios had firm footing with a studio system and they tried a variety of subjects in their films. In the 88 Hindi films produced in 1938, one finds almost every Genre of film subjects, except perhaps the usual Folk stories and Historical themes. Comedy, Tragedy, Fiction, Jungle stories, Costume, Socials, Musicals, Mythologicals, you name it and you had it. Content and technical expertise had improved as films on famous novels were made.

Today’s song is from the film 300 Days and after-1938. This was a rather unusual film title, mixing numbers and words.
Among Hindi films, there were 53 film titles which started with a figure and not words (data from 1931 to 2012). Here are some interesting observations and titbits….
