Today’s song is from the film Laxmi Narayan-1951.
In the Hindi Film Geet Kosh (HFGK), you find mention of the Genre of every film like Social, Mystery, Family, Historical etc etc. During the 50’s decade 2 types of films were common, which were categorised as भक्ति प्रधान (Religious) and पौराणिक (Mythological). Most people do not know what the difference is between these 2 categories. Films made on stories from the Holy Scriptures like Ramayan, Mahabharat, Puranas and Vedas are called पौराणिक (Mythological) e.g. Ram Rajya, Bharat Milan, Ghatotkach, Shri Ganesh Vivah etc. Films made on the events connected with or the life of Saints or Bhakts are categorised as भक्ति प्रधान (Religious) e.g. Bhakta Dhruv, Mahatma kabir, Sant Tukaram, Bhakta Pundalik etc etc. One has to remember that Bhakti Pradhan or Religious films are not from Mythology, but Pouranik or Mythological films are religious films as they are connected with the principles of Religion.Laxmi Narayan is considered as the most ideal couple wherein Beauty and Wealth are combined with the Supreme Power. In our day to day life, a couple with very good looks and matching to each other is called a “Laxmi- Narayan” joda.

Today’s song is from the film Mahapooja aka Shri Satyanarayan Katha-1954.
Shri Satyanarayan is not an avatar of Vishnu. It is a form of Maha Vishnu. The pooja is described in Skanda Puran, in which Lord Vishnu tells Narad how this puja will help the Human beings in times of stress in Kaliyug. The custom of following this Vrat and doing Satyanarayan pooja gained momentum in the period of the ‘Bhakti Movement’, which began from the 7th century in South India – Tamilnadu – and peaked all over the rest of India during the 15 th to 17 th century.

Today’s song is from the film Karma-1933. It is a special song for two reasons. One- it was the First Talkie film made in both Hindi and English and two- this was the first Hindi film to have an English song in it. Later on, ofcourse, many more English songs have appeared in Hindi films.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Punarmilan-1940.
My favourite Marathi/Hindi/English author ISAQ MUJAWAR has written several – over 30 – books on Hindi and Marathi old films, people and related topics. One of his books in English is ” Maharashtra – The Birthplace of the Indian Film Industry”. This is a very rare book to find one. I have the original as well as its xerox copy. The original book was gifted to me by my Friend from Ahmedabad, Mr. P.S.Seshadri. He is an occasional visitor and commenter of this Blog.

Today’s song is from the film Sakshi Gopal-1957.
Wednesday, 28th August 2024 was a very sad day for me. On this day, I learnt about the sad demise of Shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji from Surat. He was one of the most well known Hindi and Gujarati film Historians in India. He had a very large circle of admirers and friends all over India, but he hardly moved out of Surat, as far as I know.

Today’s song is from the C grade Costume film Simba-1951.
I was a great fan and admirer of C grade action/stunt/costume films from my young age. The decorative sets and the unusually long, shining and attractive costumes in the films, the daredevil stunts and the hand or the sword fighting in these films impressed me. Unfortunately, as I grew older, the number of such films was reducing and by the time I almost stopped running after films by the 1970 beginning, C grade action, stunt and Costume films almost disappeared from the theatres. Perhaps their regular audience thinned out or the stuntmen became old or producers of such films turned to other more respectable Genres. Whatever the reason, reality was that the end of such films had occurred !
