Today’s song is from a very old film Anath Ashram-1937.

In the early era, when silent films were made, it was Maharashtra – especially Bombay which led the new medium as the production centre for silent films. Of course, some films were also being made in other places like Poona, Kolhapur, Coibtor, Nashik, Bangalore, madras, Calcutta and other occasional towns.

After the Talkie films started, Calcutta came up with one of the most organised, well equipped and big studios, making films in Bangla, Hindi and some other eastern languages. That was New theatres, Calcutta. In those days, Calcutta quickly rose as a busy centre for filmmaking in several languages and many studios and production houses came up, but no one could match the magnificence of New Theatres in terms of consistency, number of star actors, actresses and directors along with technicians. New Theatre ruled supreme till the rise of Bombay Talkies and Ranjit Studios in Bombay.

I have been presenting songs penned by Kavi Pradeep which are yet to be posted here on this blog. We are all aware that Kavi Pradeep mostly wrote songs for movies from ‘mythological genres’. In such movies there are songs related to ‘mythological stories’ and ‘incidents’ which Kavi Pradeep brought to us in lyrics form with nuances such that one can easily visualize the incident happening in front of him/her. Picturisation of such songs is also a treat to watch. Readers might be remembering the recent song about ‘Krishna-Sudama meet’ which was posted here on the ‘world friendship day’. This song is a wonderful song both in terms of lyrics and picturisation.

Today, Janmashtami– the birth festival of Lord Krishna, is being celebrated all over the country. On this occasion I am presenting a song which is about the baal leelaa(s)’ of Lord Krishna. This song is sung by Usha Mangeshkar and chorus and the picturisation of this song has several child artistes and female artistes performing on it. The location of this song and the visuals around are lovely and they help in bringing to us the childhood innocence, playfulness and fun that the friends of Krishn and the Gopees are having.

#Krishn-Sudama’s friendship#

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-31)

Today is ‘World Friendship Day’!!! In our culture we have several legends and stories on friendship and the most popular and touching of them is the story of Krishn-Sudama from our mythology. We also have many Hindi Films made on the theme of friendship. We have many songs based on ‘dost’, ‘dostee’, ‘yaar’, ‘yaaree’ etc. etc.

Today’s song is dedicated to the friendship of Lord Krishn and his poor childhood friend Sudama. The song under discussion is penned by Kavi Pradeep. I have listened to it many times while preparing ths writeup. Every time Listening to this song has given me goose pimples every single time. It is a beautiful and touching song describing the visit of Sudama to the palace of his the childhood friend of Lord Krishn visits him in his palace. The two friends are meeting after a long time and as mentioned in the song this meeting is happening after the ‘Mahaabhaarat yuddh’.

The worlds of film songs and the NonFilm Songs are totally different. Of course there was a time when people went for only NFS, but 1) that time film song records were not available like today and 2) that was a long time ago i.e. during the late 1920s to the 1940s. The set of people who liked NFS and collected these records or songs has long gone behind the curtain of the time !

Most lovers of music today are barely aware of a NFS which once made music lovers mad in the last mid century. There is no blame as times change, so do the trends and likings. Today, even classical vocal music is also in the background. Ask any film music lover 5 names of classical singers and most can not tell you. Here also no blame This is how the world takes turns. Public tastes change as per availability, like the way people dressed in olden times and modern times.

Today’s song is from a less known film- Mordhwaj-1952. This was a Mythological film, about a less known incident which happened during the Ashwamedh Yadnya by Pandavas, after they won the Kurukshetra war against the Kauravas, with the help of Shri Krishna.

Seeing religious films had many advantages. When I was very young I had to see, not by choice, such films while taking a group of family elders to the Theatres. Initially, I was happy, then reluctant and later on an interested person. First it increases your knowledge about your religion. Most children knew about religion through what was taught in the books or told by the elders in the families. I mean, this was the situation some decades ago, when I was a school boy, i.e. the 40’s and the 50’s. Nowadays, the school books do not have stories from Religion and there are no elders in 90% of the families.

Today (9 July 2025) is the birth centenary of Guru Dutt (9 July 1925-10 october 1964). What a coincidence that today is 6200th day of the blog as well.

Guru Dutt had already carved a niche for himself in Hindi film industry by the time he was gone. He was just 39 years old when he expired. He had a very troubled personal life which took its toll on him (as well as on his wife Geeta Dutt). Both of them legends, but both of them were taken away when so young. Guru Dutt left for the heavenly abode at the age of 39, Geeta Dutt was 41 when she departed. Both of them already have two decades of stellar accomplishments behind them and both had become legends by the time they departed.

It is worth noting that almost all movies where Guru Dutt figured have already been YIPPEED in the blog. Only exception being “Lakharani” (1945) which was his debut film, and “Sailaab”(1956). His other films, viz. “Hum Ek Hain”(1946), Girls’s school”(1949), “Sangram” (1950),”Baazi”(1951), “Jaal”(1952), “Baaz”(1953), “Aar Paar”(1954), Mr and Mrs 55 (1955), “CID”(1956),’Pyaasa”(1957), Kaaghaz Ke Phool”(1959), “Chaudhvin Ka Chaand”(1960),”Saahib Bibi aur Ghulam”(1962) ,”Bahurani”(1963) and “Saanjh aur Sawera”(1964) have already been YIPPEED in the blog.

Today’s song is from a film which makes its Debut on this Blog – Chingari-1940.

There were two more films called ‘Chingari’ – in 1955 and 1971 and both are represented here with many songs. I wonder how the first film Chingari-1940 missed the bus ? This set my mind to do some statistical work.
