“Ham Hain Raahi Pyaar Ke” (1960) was a movie which was never released, but we in this blog assume this movie to be a creation of 1960. It seems logical seeing that the title of the movie was obviously inspired from the song “Ham Hain raahi Pyaar ke hamse kuchh na boliye” from the movie ‘Nau Do Gyaarah” (1957).

Mahipal, a name that is so familiar as the actor behind the ‘Raaj Kavi Diwaakar’ in V Shantaram’s ‘Navrang’ (1959), as the healer Zabak in Basant Picture film ‘Zabak’ (1961), or the swashbuckling swordsman Paras in Movieland’s film ‘Parasmani’ (1963), and many more characters played by him in films with historical, mythological and religious themes. But not many people know that Mahipal Chandra Bhandari, a young lad of 23 from Jodhpur, made his debut in films both as an actor and a poet. His first film as an actor, ‘Nazraana’ (1942), a twin production in Hindi and Maarwari, turned out to be a flop, and it would not be for another 8 years, till 1950, that he would catch the attention of the industry and the audience alike, as a performer on the screen.
