Today’s song is from an unknown film -Ankh Micholi-1942. Unknown does not mean it is not mentioned anywhere, but it only means that it was not known to most people. It is slightly lesser than ” less known’ films.

In 1940, after the film Kumkum the dancer, starring Sadhona Bose, the establishment of Sagar movietone was wound up and it was merged lock,stock and barrel with National Studios. After 3 films, this also closed down and Chimanlal Desai started his own Amar Pictures. As per Biren Kothari’s book- Sagar Movietone, after making just 6 movies, Amar also closed down. Out of these 6 films, except the film Adab Arz-1943, the other 5 films just came and went, without much noise.

Film Aankh Micholi-1942 was directed by a veteran and a spillover from the Silent era- R.S.Chaudhari. Music was by Gyan Datt and the Lyricists were Pt.Indra, Satyakam and Shatir Lucknowi. The cast of the film included Nalini Jaywant, Satish, Sulochana, Jillo, Hadi, Protima Devi and others.

Today’s song is from a C grade stunt film, Lutaru Lalana-1938.

1938 was the first decade of the Talkie films, which started in India in 1931 only. What an era it was ! I feel sad that the present generation (Zen G) can never ever even imagine the pleasure of seeing those films, which regaled the common man no end. I am talking about the C grade stunt/action/costume drama films made then. Those were the days when people went to the theatre with no preconceived notions, because they only went to see good stunts, dances and killing dialogues.

This was a class of lower middle class, working people and young children in their teens, who got entertainment at affordable ticket rates – no matter if the theatre was even 5 to 6 kms away to reach. Walking to get the desired timepass was no problem. No one from the audience expected a sane, reasonable story, no one was even bothered about the histrionic capabilities of the actors or the actresses.

This article is his 1900th song post in the blog.

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.
