Today’s song is from the film Aan Baan-1956.

1956 was the year of the Silver Jubilee of the Talkie films. The ” Golden Era” of Hindi film music was on its peak and many memorable films were made in 1956. The Bangla version of Hindi film Jagte Raho had won the Grand Prix award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Other notable films were Nai Dilli (one of my favourite films),Ek hi raasta, Bhai Bhai from AVM, Chori-Chori- also from south, C.I.D., Hum sab chor hain ( another from my favourite’s list), Basant Bahar, Toofan aur Diya, Funtoosh, Hateemtai, Taksaal, Bandhan, Jaldeep, Rajhath and Inspector.

Today’s song is from the filmAkash Pari-1958.

It is an Universal phenomenon that when men and Women work together daily for quite some time, there are cases in which some pairs fall in love and get married. It is more frequent in industries like Film Industry where the work in films brings them closer physically too. In general, unmarried girls joined films in earlier times. Of course, there were cases when even married women had joined films Examples are, Leela Chitnis, Shobhana Samarth, leela Mishra, Meenakshi Shirodkar, Neena etc.

Today’s song is from the Costume film Aan Baan-1956.

I remember, a few years ago, our Atul ji had said ” Indian people love discussing on 3 topics. Politics, Cricket and Movies. ” It is true. In any group, the general discussion is about one of these topics. Those interested in politics are usually staunch supporters of some party and the discussions are not only vehement, but sometimes so forceful that even long term relations can be at stake.

Today’s song is from a “special film”- Akashpari-1958.

I have called this film a ‘Special film’ for not so honorable reasons. This film was produced by S.P.Srivastav and M.S.Geete. It was directed by Mohan Sinha (grandfather of actress Vidya Sinha). The cast of the film consisted of Kusum Pradhan, Mahipal, Ram Singh, Maruti, Kamal (they were husband and wife in real life), Krishnakumari and many others.

Today’s song is from the film Aabshar-1953.

For a long time, I just wondered as to what was the meaning of this word Aabshar. Then I looked into an Urdu-English dictionary and found out that it means’ Waterfall’ or “things coming all at a time” or ‘a Cascade’. Obviously, it was about the film’s story. This was a social film. The story revolved around a good looking simple village girl-Nimmi and a young, rich, city educated man Rajkumar, who falls in love with her during one of his visits to his hometown. The brother of the girl-Tiwari, is against this affair as he has already consented to the love of his friend for his sister. However Nimmi hates him. To add to all this, there is a murder in the village, for which the Hero is held responsible. Of course, all is well, at the end of the movie the real culprit is found to be the girl’s brother only. All is well, before the words ‘ The End ” appear on the screen, to the relief of the audience.

Today’s song is from a Costume film Roop Sundari-1964.

This routine ” King-Queen-Vazir” type C grade film was directed by Chandrakant (Gaur). His name is not very famous, but he was one of those artistes of the first generation of Hindi films, who was a multi-faceted person. He was an actor, producer, director, Lyricist and a music director. In the early phase of the Hindi films, being “a jack of all trades’ was a guarantee of a permanent job in a film studio and a sure way of survival with respect. I remember another such artiste – Badri prasad. He was an actor- first as a Hero and then as a character artiste, Producer, Director, lyricist, Singer, Music Director and also a Choreographer. (He was a Sanskrit scholar too and an author, according to his daughter). I remember his roles in films like ” Albela”-1951 and ” Hum sab chor Hai”-1956.
