Decoit films have been an important genre of Hindi films for a long time. Perhaps, the first talkie film in this genre was ‘Daaku Mansoor (1934) which was directed by Nitin Bose with K L Saigal in the title role. But, after going through the synopsis, the film appeared to be more of a costume drama than a decoit film though the story involved a decoit.

The genre of decoit films started attaining prominence during 1950s and 60s, probably in the background of the stories that were circulated in the newspapers about the prominent decoits of Chambal valley and elsewhere. The newspapers sensationalised the dread decoits like Gabbar Singh, Maan Singh, Mohar Singh, Putli Bai etc on their daring dacoity and the fear they instilled in their area of operations. Such news became the inspirations for many Hindi films such as ‘Mother India’ (1957), ‘Ganga Jamuna’ (1961), ‘Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai’ (1962), ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’ (1963) etc. This trend continued in the 1970s with films like ‘Mera Gaon Mera Desh’ (1971), ‘Khotey Sikkey’ (1973), ‘Kachhe Dhaage’ (1973), Sholay’ (1975), ‘Ganga Ki Saugandh’ (1978) etc. In recent years, ‘Paan Singh Tomar’ (2014) and ‘Sonchiraiya’ (2019) were made with decoit stories.

Aa bhi jaa haaye tujhe dhoondhen nigaahen meri

Ah, the crisp voice of Kamal Barot. A sound that is so unique, and then so attractive, in certain scenarios. Granted that this voice may not exhibit as wide a range as some of her more successful peers, but the concern also works the other way round. That the voice, and some more like hers, did not get enough opportunity to develop more. We do find examples of her songs in all genres – except maybe having sung some sort of a cabaret song for Helen. Alas, it was an era dominated by few. And maybe that is what life is about – circumstances and relationships many a time define success, more than talent does.

Hum tumhen to kabhi na bhoolenge

Posted by: on: March 30, 2013


This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.

A little over three weeks ago, Kamal Barot’s first non film song was posted on these pages –“Ye Haseen Taare Teri Yaad Dilaa Dete Hain”. The post was followed with comments from readers, with requests for other non film songs from the same singer. The song in this post was specifically requested, as it had been by AK ji, in his earlier communications.

Ye haseen taare teri yaad dilaa dete hain

Posted by: on: March 3, 2013

The world of non-film songs is altogether another dimension that is both very prolific, as well as very endearing. If we try to go after the non film domain, it would definitely turn out to be many times bigger than the film song domain. Rightly so, because in that domain there are no limits other than that the song does not belong to any film. On this blog, we are showcasing the non film genre also. But we are following an unstated selection criteria – that the singer(s) and or creators of the non film songs are otherwise associated with films. This criteria makes the expanse of the non film songs being covered (on this blog), both manageable and familiar.

Sarkaar na lautaanaa mere pyaar ka nazraanaa

Posted by: on: October 16, 2011


The title “Shaahi Lutera” appears to be quite a popular title for B grade movie makers. The first such title appeared in 1935. The next “Shaahi Lutera” was released two decades later in 1965, and another one in 1976. Considering the paucity of authentic information available about old movies in general and B grade movies in particulr, i is very easy to get facts about them mixed up. I have, for instance seen the songs of “Shaahi Lutera” (1965) being mixed up with songs of “Shaahi Lutera” (1976) in sites who in any case do not seem willing and /or capable of ensuring authenticity of information ( if any )being dished out.
