Today’s song is from the film ‘Lakeeren’ (1954).

The film was produced and directed by Harbans. Despite my efforts, I was unable to collect any information about this director. All that I could gather from online sources was that Harbans directed in all 17 films, from 1943 (‘Mr. Jhatpat’) to 1971 (‘Sher e Watan’), acted in 3 films (‘Khoj’ (1953), ‘Bade Sarkar’ (1957) and ‘Bahadur Daaku’ (1966) and wrote 1 song for film ‘Jungle Ka Sher’ (1946).

Today, January 13, 2024, is 94th birth anniversary of music director, Sardar Malik. In his childhood, he had wished to be a singer, but the fate turned him toward music direction. He did not have a prolific career. He never got opportunity to work with top film banners in spite of talents which was reflected in most of the songs he composed. Recently, I had gone through his interview on Vividh Bharati which was probably conducted after his ‘retirement’ from the film world. From his talk, I could visualize him to be a man of principles, a man of least resistance and a man of self-respect which will not allow him to indulge in networking. Lastly, he was a sensitive person who refrained from hurting anyone even if he had suffered from wrongdoings.

Today’s song is a duet from the film ‘Rocket Girl’ (1962).

Man has always been curious about other planets and the other worlds. His attempts to know more about them have been known since the Vedic Times, i.e. about 5000 years ago. Our religious books describe the various celestial bodies and there are many stories told about them. However, the modern human quest, in reality, started first when during the II World War, Germany developed a rocket to carry missiles over a long distance. The Germans called it the V2 rocket. From this was developed the first ever rocket which went into space for a short period in 1942.

The name Neeraj means one that is born of water. The singular reference is towards the lotus flower. In Hindi, ‘नीरज’ is a synonym for the lotus flower.  And so is Gopaldas Saxena ‘Neeraj’ – a lotus amongst the poets and songwriters whose verses have graced the screens of Hindi Cinema.

In the last 2 decades, I have preferred watching films that interest me on video sharing platforms or on OTT. ‘Talaash’ (2012) was one of few films I have watched in a multiplex upon its release after reading the ‘very good’ reviews of the film. And I was not disappointed. The film was a slow gainer on the box office front. Eventually, the film became a ‘semi hit’. Recently, I watched the film on OTT platform to recapitulate its story which I now feel is a complex one.

‘Hatimtai’ (1956) was produced under the banner of Basant Pictures and was directed by Homi Wadia. The cast included Jairaj, Shakila, Meenakshi, BM Vyas, SN Tripathi, Krishna Kumari, Menaka, Sheikh, Vasant Pehlwan, Dalpat, Sardar Mansoor, Habib, Mithoo Miya, Aga Shapoor, Ranibala etc. The film was made in Gevacolour which was an additional attraction for cinegoers those days. It was one of the most talked about films, may be because of its special effect scenes.

Today’s song is from an imaginary costume film ‘Son of Sindbad’ (1958).

Alibaba, Alladin and Sindbad were the popular characters during our school days. Not only books of their stories but also films made on them were the targets of all children in those days. It was a thrilling experience to get a book on one of these Heroes, as a gift on “Happy Birthday” ! I am not very sure if today’s young children read these stories. I doubt if they even know these names. These boys seem to favour Harry Potter stories, while the young girls are lost on reading Mills and Boon novels, I suppose ! The big fat book ‘Stories of Arabian Nights’ was the most sought after book (in spite of 5 copies) in our school library. Stories of Alibaba, Alladin, Sindbad the sailor, Hatimtai, Gul Bakavali etc enchanted us.

‘Mr Yogi’ (1989), directed by Ketan Mehta was one of a few Doordarshan Serials which I had watched its all the 13 episodes when it was telecast. The very first episode set the tone of the serial to be a light comedy and satirical one. It is a story about an NRI from USA, (played by the late Mohan Gokhale) who has come to India to choose a bride for himself. In his quest, he meets 12 girls of 12 different zodiac signs which results in some comical situations. There were a couple of medleys of popular Hindi film songs of 1960s and 70s in this TV serial. In the end, he rejects all the 12 girls but gets hooked to an unknown girl (Subhangi Gokhale, who became Mohan Gokhale’s real wife). The serial was based on a Gujarati novel, ‘Kimball Ravenswood’, written by an American Gujarati, Madhu Rye (real name: Madhusudan Vallabhdas Thaker).

Today’s song is from a ‘social’ film called ‘Captain Kishore’ (1957).

I was wondering what was the basis of calling this film a ‘social’ film, because it was clearly a stunt/costume film having the usual King- Queen-Evil Vazir/Evil Senapati story. I have seen this film and also give its story for you today. The Wadia Movietone was famous for making action/stunt/costume films, since the early 30’s decade The owners of Wadia split in 1942 on the issue of whether to continue making the action/stunt films. The younger brother Homi Wadia was in favour of making stunt films, while the elder brother JBH Wadia wanted to make social films, because he was seeing impending sunset on stunt films in the near future, and hence wanted to make social films on priority to survive.
