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

Films with the same title were also made in 1939 and 1974. This film was produced and directed by Lekhraj Bhakri, for his own banner-Jubilee Pictures, Bombay. Lekhraj Bhakri was a multi-faceted artiste. He was a Lyricist, a story writer, dialogue writer and a screenplay writer, producer and a successful director. He helped many cine artistes to establish their careers like Ameeta, Manoj Kumar etc. The story of him finding an actor in Manoj Kumar is very interesting….

Today’s song is from the film Bhakta Kabir-1942.

For the last two months’ period, I was very busy. First it was my ill health during which I spent a few days in Hospital also. After that I started doing my routine work. Then there was one company’s Board meeting which, being one of the Directors, I had to prepare and attend. After that I resumed my writing work and then some visitors came last week. Ms. Nupur Mitra, daughter of the legendary singer Jagmohan Sursagar came with her team-as per our plan- in connection with her forthcoming book on Jagmohan.

Today’s song is from the stunt film ‘Garma Garam’ (1957).

In Hindi films, many times the titles are given to the films just to attract the audience. Such films have absolutely no relevance to the core-story of the film. Sometimes there is an excess of certain emotions in the films. I had seen one Hindi film in which, by the end of the film all the major characters were shown as dead- including the lead pair. No wonder, the audience must have run away lest they would be the next in line !

Today’s song is from a Muslim Social film ‘Paak Daman’ (1957).

Why I am specifying Muslim social is because it was a film depicting the Muslim social culture in India. India is a country where there are many religions living together for hundreds of years. The major 8 religions in India are Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Judaism and Zoroastrianism (Parsee). There are hundreds of smaller religions thriving in India , apart from these.

Today’s song is from the costume film ‘Neelofar’ (1957).

Thousands of films are made as talkie films after 1931 and the tradition has been that just before its release and after it was censored, a booklet of 4-5 pages giving information about the film was published. Interested persons would buy them at throw away price of few Annas to get an idea and details about the said film at a glance. Footpath sellers outside the theaters were seen in earlier days. Later on such booklets of old films became difficult to procure and collectors of such items paid heavy prices for them.

Today’s song is from a social film Albeli-1955.

This is a very rare song and I spent more than a month searching for this song, but could not get it. Finally, on my request I got the audio MP3 format of this song from my friend Syed Zafar Shah ji. He has always been very helpful to me. I have few other well known song collectors like Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji, Vishwas Nerurkar ji and Deepak Choudhari ji, who extend their help whenever I request them. I consider it my good luck to know them so well.

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. The sensational court case of film Naya Daur-57 came up in court this year, in which Dilip Kumar openly expressed his love for Madhubala, in the court.

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.
