Today’s song is from a very old film-Bramhachari-1938.

When this film was released in 1938, it created a sensation, because the film’s debutante Heroine, Meenakshi Shirodkar had sung a song in a swimming pool donning only a one piece Swimsuit ! 85 years ago it was a very very daring and shameful act which would ‘spoil the young and the innocent’ children. The Traditional puritan society could not tolerate it. The film was made in Marathi and Hindi. When the Marathi version was released in Maharashtra, the ‘Sanatani’ section of the society of Poona protested by having an agitation in front of the theatre. Long articles criticizing this appeared in local papers and some people even threatened to go to the court, if these scenes were not removed from the film immediately. Conversely, these scenes also attracted huge crowds who enjoyed such scenes on the screen for the first time in a Marathi film !

Hindi film audience may be acquainted with Pearl Padamsee (1931 – 24/04/2000) for her good performances in Basu Chatterjee’s films, ‘Khatta Meetha’ (1977) and ‘Baaton Baaton Mein’ (1979). She was also seen in Shyam Benegal’s ‘Junoon’. But more than an actor in Hindi films, she was an eminent theatre personality who, in colloboration with Alyque Padamsee, propped up a vibrant English theatre in Mumbai for over 4 decades.

Today’s song is from the film Pyas-1941.

The year 1941 was an year which would start the realignment, improvement, trials, changes and introduction of new waves in acting, singing, direction and the story contents. Many ‘Carried Forward’ baggage from the silent film era were to be discarded- like Music based on stage and dramas in Parsi, Gujarathi and Marathi languages. New Genres were to be opened up to make this entertainment more acceptable. Additionally the second world war, started in 1939 end period, had an unpredictable duration and the film industry would have to cope up with the British Government’s expectations from the film industry.

HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS FOR CROSSING THE MARK OF 16 MILLION VISITORS !

Today’s song is from a Costume film ” Raj Mukut” (1950).

The decade of the 1950 was the one in which possibly the highest number of films having “King and Queen” stories were made . A cursory look at the Film Title Index shows a total of 77 such film titles, starting with the letters “Raj…”. Out of these, 17 films are from the 50’s. There must be more films having the trio of ” King,Queen and the Vazir”, but starting with other words like Raami Dhoban or films starting with Samrat or words connected with kingdoms etc. Finally I gave up my ‘Research’ !

Today’s song is from the film Room No. 9 (1946).

There were 2 more rooms on which films were made – Room No. 17 and Room No.203. I wonder what happened to the other rooms ? I am also hurt by the title of a film as ” B-13 -Fear has a New Address” made in 2009. My flat number in Mumbai is B-13 and I never ever saw any Atulite frightened in my flat when so many ASAD meetings were held here ! And also when some members had stayed here overnight also ! However, I did not file any case against the film’s producer, lest it became ‘ an address to fear ‘ for him !

Today’s song is from the film Biwi (1950).

In the HFGK the title of this film is spelt as BEEWEE, whereas elsewhere on YouTube and the entire internet sites which I saw, the spelling is BIWI. A simple word like BIWI became BEEWEE for reasons known only to the makers of this film.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.124
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years ago (25 May 2013),two songs from two different movies was covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
8127 Is duniya mein sab chor chor Bhai Bhai (1956) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
8128 Aa jaa aa jaa o jaane waale Sabak (1950) 8 songs covered out of 10 by now

We observe that one movie (out of two) whose songs were represented in the blog on this day ten years ago (on 25 May 2013) has since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with one movie which is unYIPPEED and is therefore eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (25 May 2023).

That movie is “Sabak”(1950).

We often hear this lament from oldtimers that things were simpler in their days and they have become complicated now a days. As a fresh entrant into the club of oldtimers, I tend to agree. Things were really simple in the old days. And they were easy to remember as well if you were a student who was required to remember these facts.
