Today’s song is from a social film – Khan Bahadur-1937.

The year 1937 was a year of Revolution for the newly started Talkie Film. Initially the films were mainly based on Folk tales, Parsi dramas and Mythological stories. 1937 was a year in which the Film industry was trying to drop its old skin and don a New Avtar. From this year, a variety of subjects were used to make films. If we briefly look at some path breaking, landmark films using Novel themes, we will understand how the film industry was attempting to change itself.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 95

Today I present to you a beautiful song from an obscure movie – “Kora Aanchal” (1973). However, imagine my surprise when I found a song from this film posted on the blog. Equally surprising was the reason why that particular song was posted by Atul Ji a little over two years ago. And the reason was that the song was about a donkey and it was posted on a World Donkey Day!! Funny, isn’t it?

My song today is “Rona Mera Naseeb Hai” sung by Asha Bhosle, written by Somesh Joshi and composed by Roshanlal Khatri.

“Koraa Aanchal”(1973) was directed by Somesh Joshi & V. Mhatre for ‘Mexico Films, Bombay’. The movie had had Dheeraj, Narendra Nath, Snehlata, Laxmi Chhaya, Joginder, Junior Mehmood, and others in it. Actress Veena made guest appearance in this movie.

The film was produced by Balwant Bhatt and Ram Kamlani, under the banner of Neo Lite films. Songs were written by Anjum Jaipuri and Prem Dhawan. The music was by the Melody magician Chitragupta. There were 7 songs in the film.

Today’s song is from the social film Parichay-1954.

Selection of an apt and fitting Title for the film, which makes a statement on the film’s content, has always been a daunting challenge to filmmakers. There are many film titles which are appropriate, but more titles are far off from the film’s content, misleading the viewers. Parichay-1954 is one such film. The film tries to glorify the sanctity of a marriage and how it should be carried on, but its title does not have any connection with this philosophy.

The film was produced by Radheshyam Jhunjhunwalla under his own banner, J.J.Films, Bombay. It was directed by an expert director- Satyen Bose. The music to the film’s 8 songs was shared by Sailesh Mukherjee and Vedpal Verma. The cast of the film was Shashikala, Abhi Bhattacharya, Pranoti Ghosh (wife of Abhi Bhattacharya in real life), Sajjan (Purohit), Zebunnisa (an actress from the silent era), Panchotia, Shakuntala, Indira Chitnis, Dhumal, Kesarbai (elder sister of actress Indira Wadkar and paternal aunt of actress Hansa Wadkar) and others. Songs were written by Keshav (5) and Akhtar Yusuf(2).

There were days in the past when I used to make sure that I covered one song from a debutant movie and another song that was the final song of the movie (in other words, the movie got YIPPEED with that song). That was part of my new year resolution of 2018. On that year I managed to stick to the resloution of one debutant movie daily upto 28 April 2018 ( with four days break on 29 January, 8 april, 20 april, 27 april). The resolution of one YIPPEED movie every day lasted till 24 April 2018 (with break of three days for YIPPEE songs-22 January, 20 April and 22 April). Following the new year resolution for nearly four months must be considered a heroic performance seeing how most new resolutions die out in less than a week. 🙂

In this year 2026, I have made rather feeble resolutions. With over 5100 movies already represented in the blog, there was not much scope left for covering one debutant movie every day. If some movies are still making debuts on the blog, it is thanks to the contributions of some enthusiastic guest contributors.
