Today’s song is from a Mythological film – Shiv Kanya-1954.

The decade of the 1950 was known for 2 things. As we all know, the first thing was that it was the peak of “The Golden Era” of Hindi film music. Secondly, it was also the peak of Mythological and Religious films (124 films in 10 years). So, there was atleast 1 such new film every month continuously for the next 120 months !

When so many Mythological films are made, naturally many stories are repeated in some way or the other. Usually stories from the 18 Puranas, 18 Up-Puranas and 2 Epics- Ramayana and Mahabharat are used for films. Fed up with the usual stories, some filmmakers tried to find unused new stories from the puranas,while some tried to cook up own stories by using the Mythological names and mixing several stories.

Today’s song is from an obscure and less known Costume film- Captain Kirti kumar-1937.

The year 1937 was a year of Revolution for the newly started Talkie Film. Initially the films were mainly based on Folk tales, Parsi dramas and Mythological stories. 1937 was a year in which the Film industry was trying to drop its old skin and don a New Avtar. From this year, a variety of subjects were used to make films. If we briefly look at some path breaking, landmark films using Novel themes, we will understand how the film industry was attempting to change itself.

Today’s song is from an obscure and less known film- Miss Devi-1944.

This film had a story revolving around twin sisters who looked alike. The 1940s were replete with such ‘ Look alike’ films, as if there was a great demand for these films. Few days back I wrote about the film Dhandora-1941 which too had ‘Look alikes’ in its story. Another well known film was Muqabla-1942, a film with Fearless Nadia, with such a story. I have always wondered why the film stories get repeated so frequently, as if there is a shortage of imagination. Few years ago, I answered this question.
