Today’s song is from a C grade stunt film, Lutaru Lalana-1938.

1938 was the first decade of the Talkie films, which started in India in 1931 only. What an era it was ! I feel sad that the present generation (Zen G) can never ever even imagine the pleasure of seeing those films, which regaled the common man no end. I am talking about the C grade stunt/action/costume drama films made then. Those were the days when people went to the theatre with no preconceived notions, because they only went to see good stunts, dances and killing dialogues.

This was a class of lower middle class, working people and young children in their teens, who got entertainment at affordable ticket rates – no matter if the theatre was even 5 to 6 kms away to reach. Walking to get the desired timepass was no problem. No one from the audience expected a sane, reasonable story, no one was even bothered about the histrionic capabilities of the actors or the actresses.

#The Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #

In this post I am presenting a song from the 1970 movie ‘Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’.

“Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi-1970” was produced for ‘Vasu Films’, Madras, by Vasu Menon. It was directed by V. Madhusudana Rao. It had Sanjay Khan, Leena Chandavarkar, Jagdeep, Anupama, Manmohan Krishna, Sundar, N. S. Bedi, Sharma, Pratima Devi, Bilkis, Shamim, Lalita Pawar, Shashikala, Om Prakash, Madhumati, Jayshree T. As per information available the story of this movie was written by Barampuram Kollady. Its’ dialogues were written by Rajinder Krishan who also penned down the lyrics for the seven songs in this movie. Music of this film was composed by R.D. Burman. The playback singers for this movie are Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey, Mohd Rafi, and Usha Mangeshkar. I guess that this movie was not a successful movie of its time and hence its’ songs remain as lesser-known songs and they were also forgotten easily.

Today’s song is from a very obscure film Aakhri Paigham aka The Last message-1949. Earlier to the release of the film, the film’s title was ‘Message of Mahatma Gandhi’, which was changed on government’s warning.

Produced by Filmland Ltd., Bombay, the film was directed by Muzammil, who also did the leading actor’s role in this film. The Music Directors were Abid Hussain Khan and Sushant Banerjee. For the film’s 12 songs, 6 Lyricists and 9 singers were used. The lyricists were Josh Malihabadi, Sharin Bhopali,Mahmood Sarosh, Behzad lucknowi, Ehsan Rizvi and J.K.Chugtai. The singers were Shamshad, Vinod, Uma Devi, Sailesh, Sudha Malhotra, Abid Hussain, Sushant Banerjee, Zohra Jaan and Rafi.

The cast included Leela Chitnis, Muzammil, Shashikala, Jillobai, Niranjan Sharma and others. The film was a typical propaganda film for Gandhi.

#Debutant Movie – ‘Dwaarikaadheesh-1956’#

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Dwaarikaadheesh-1956’. This movie is making its debut on this blog today.

With over twenty thousand songs already on the blog, and over six thousand of them being from the decade of 1951-1960, I was shocked to note that this movie was still missing from the blog. I was even more surprised when I listened to a few songs from this movie. I must say that this movie has some great melodious compositions in it. It is likely that the songs from this movie were not available online in the past. Personally I had not heard any songs of this movie anywhere to the best of my knowledge. Nevertheless, almost four thousand songs from the decade of 1951-1960 are still missing from the blog. Some of them are available and some more songs may become available with time. As we cover these missing songs, we will come across movies that have not yet made their debuts in the blog.

I checked and double checked and finally came to the conclusion that this movie “Dwarkadheesh” is making its debut today in the blog.

Today’s wonderful song is from the 1959 movie ‘Grihalaxmi’. I guess that the song is addressed to Lord Krishna who has come in disguise. It is just my guess because it is a social movie and not a mythological movie.

‘Grihalaxmi-1959’ , a social movie was directed by Raman B Desai for ‘Bombay Movietone, Bombay’. The cast of this movie has Pandhari Bai, Shahu Modak, Lalita Pawar, Kumari Nazar, Rooplaxmi, Miss Kala, Indira Bansal, Ram Avtaar, Raj, Umakant, Praveen Pal, Devendra, Suryakant Shukla, Polsan, Bhairav, Bipin Gupta and others. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 02.02.1959. So the movie is now almost sixty-seven years old. This movie has nine songs written by Bharat Vyas and music is composed Avinash Vyas.

Today’s song is from the Mythological film Mahatma Vidur-1943.

1943 was a 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 p0lay ‘ 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.
