Today’s song is from the film Bhabhi-1938.

When the film ‘Bhabhi’ is mentioned, we first remember the 1957 AVM film Bhabhi, which had very good songs like ” Chal ud jaa re panchhi” in 3 parts or “Chali chali re patang meri chali” etc. This was a very successful and a popular film – a truly ‘Family Picture’, in those days. There were 3 movies with the same title ‘Bhabhi’ released in 1938, 1957 and 1991.

Today’s song is from a famous Landmark film- Ram Rajya-1943.

1943 was an year in which the II world war was in full swing. Both sides were almost equal. The effects of the war on India were… it faced the infamous Bengal Famine, caused by the war profiteering. Controls on film production were tightened by the Government. I.P.T.A. became operative with its first staged play ‘ Nibanna’. Film Kismet became one of the biggests Hits ever. V.Shantaram’s Rajkamal Kalamandir debuted with Shakuntala, as did Mehboob with his film Najma. Government made showing of Newsreel before any film mandatory. Film Raj Nartaki’s english version The Court Dancer was exhibited in the USA, first time for an Indian film.

Today’s song is from the film Patit Pawan-1955.

Most of our readers are aware of “Same name confusion”. It is a phenomenon in which 2 or more artistes having similar names operated in Hindi films, during the same period, causing severe damage to the less known artiste when his films were credited-unjustly- to the filmography of the well known artiste of the similar name. In an industry where from 1931 to 2000 period itself more than 7000 artistes acted in the Hindi films, it was bound to occur and it did take place. I have done research on this matter and have clarified the different artistes, numbering to over 100, who were involved in such a confusion. These are included in my first 2 books also.

Another Summer Olympics comes along. Once again, Indians have their hopes raised.

And once again, most of these are dashed.

I’ve been seeing this routine since 1976.
