Today’s song is from the film Naag Panchami-1953.
The 5th Tithi or the 5th day of Saawan (Shrawan) is celebrated as NAAG PANCHAMI. On this day, Naag/Cobras or simply any snake in general is worshipped. This is because Snakes are considered as Farmer’s friends. Snakes eat mice, which destroy stored grains and standing crops too. Mice also spread many diseases in villages.
Worshipping Snakes is a symbolic way to acknowledge their importance to the Farmers and spread the message of environmental balance. On this day, young girls in the villages tie Jhoola(swing) on trees and sing songs.

Today’s song is from a complicated film-Bindiya-1946.
There were 3 films with this title. I fail to understand why film titles are repeated so often, as if there is an acute shortage of titles. There are hundreds of such titles which are repeated from two to as many as 7 times. I have never found such repetition in Hollywood films. If at all there are any, they may be very rare cases.
Bindiya was made in 1946, 1955 and 1960. I remember writing a post on a song from the film Bindiya-1960, in which actor Om Prakash had sung a song. This was in my series of ” songs by non singers”, somewhere in the end of 2012.

Today’s song is from an almost 90 year old film, Manzil-1936.
For a long time, I was searching for a song from this film, but none were available. Finally, I wrote to Shri Syed Jafer Shah ji and enquired if he has any song of this film, other than those already posted here. Promptly, he sent me today’s song- no.7 as per HFGK list. HFGK showed the singer’s name as Harimati, but the song sent by Jafer Bhai was sung by K.C.Dey. I pointed out this to him. He sent me the photo of the record No. 6764, which was tallying with the no. in HFGK. The film name was correct and the singer’s name was K.C.Dey. Obviously the song was correct. It seems that Harimati sang it in the film, but the record was in the voice of K.C.Dey. Or the HFGK had made a mistake in the singer’s name. Whatever it is, the song was correct as per the record number and details on it. So, no problem. Then our friend Sadanand ji Kamath uploaded it for me. Thanks to Jafer Bhai and Kamath ji.

Today’s song is from a unique film- Love in Bombay-1975.
It is generally said that records are for breaking. It means, in any field, if a record of achievement is made, sometime or the other, that record is broken. Some records are such that one feels, ‘now this will never be broken. It is the ultimate’.

Today’s song is from a fantasy film Gul E Bakawali-1963.
Most Indians have two common traits. One, they are religious and two, they believe in magic. Therefore most of the children liked the stories in which there was fantasy and magic. Ofcourse, I am talking of older times. These days children’s likings have changed and they like to play with modern gadgets, rather than reading books.
When I was in school, there was great demand from students for books on Vedic stories, fantasy and fairy stories, especially the Arabian Night story books in our school library. Students had to put their names on a waiting list for such books, though the library had multiple copies of such books. Once the books were taken home, other members of the family also read them with great taste and nostalgia.

Today’s song is from the film Hamari Beti-1950.
The film was produced and directed by Shobhana Samarth, for her own banner ‘Shobhana Pictures’ Bombay. Music was by Snehal Bhatkar. Vasudev G. Bhatkar was working with H.M.V. and he had recorded some of his own songs as a singer. Impressed, Sudhir Phadke joined hands with him to give music to filmm “Rukmini Swayamvar”-1946. Being in service with HMV, Bhatkar could not use his real name, hence the pair was named as Vasudev-Sudhir. For more films, he used different names like B.Vasudev, V.G.Bhatkar and Snehal. In 1949, he left HMV to become a full time Music Director.
His first film was Hamari Beti-1950, for which he used the name Snehal Bhatkar- which continued till his last Hindi film, Sehme hue Sitare-1994. Snehal was his daughter’s name.

Today’s song is from an imaginary stunt/costume film Sair E Paristan-1958.
When this film came in theatres, I had first thought that the title was Sair E Pakistan, but then I realised that it was Paristan and not Pakistan ! I wonder even today as to why such types of Stunt/ Costume films had stories or rather cookes up silly stories had almost always a Muslim background ? Maybe because such stories were suitable for a background of Middle East countries only and no one would question their credibility. It is also possible to make the stories look like those from the Arabian Night stories. Anyway, the audience of such films never thought of all these things. All that they wanted was fighting, a few ‘Dil Tod’ dances, flashy dresses, big palaces and more daredevil stunts !
