Today’s song is from a folk tale based film ‘Naulakha Haar’ (1953).

The film was inspired by the famous folk tale of Rajasthan about the love story of Alha-Udal, with the background of 2 warring kingdoms. A lot of cinematic liberty is taken while writing the film story, in order to make the film appealing to more types of audience. Films on famous folk tales are not uncommon in the Hindi film industry. In fact they are a great source of imagination to form hundreds of stories, with desirable changes in the script. Hindi film makers have been making films on such traditional folk stories from all over India. When they exhausted such stories they turned to stories from Arabia and Europe too, besides our own Mythology and Puranas. Some of the love stories I remember offhand , which were made into Hindi films are….

“Hamlet”(1954) was produced and directed by Kishore Sahu for Hindustan Chitra Bombay. As is clear from the title, this story was written by William Shakespeare. All sites on internet mentions Pradeep Kuamr and Mala Sinha as the actors, but HFGK has a whole list of actors in this movie. The movie had Kishore Sahu, Mala Sinha, Venus Bannerjee, Hiralal,S Nazeer, Kamnaljeet, Jankidas, Srinath, Nirdoshi, Rajan Kapoor, Pal Sharma, Baby Sheela, Master Ratan, Jagdeesh Kamal, Harun, Agha Miraz, Fazal Khan, Avtar Singh etc in it. There was no Pradeep Kumar. One wonders how online sites got their details that this movie had Pradeep Kumar in it.

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

Films with the same title were made in 1941, 1961 and 1984. This was a romantic comedy film involving a mistaken identity. Now, can you recall how many films have you seen about mistaken identity (with or without knowledge) ?. Mostly, such stories are based on ‘Look alikes’, like films Don, Chandralekha, Angoor, Chacha Chaudhary, Do dooni chaar, Milan(46) etc. Some films were, where the identity of the Hero was mistaken intentionally. Today’s film Sasural-1941 falls under this category. This same theme was repeated in films Panghat-1943 and Chitchor-1976.

Today’s song is from the film Dhoomketu (1949).

There was one more film having the same title in 1985, but that film had a credible story dealing with some scientific research etc. However today’s film was only a C grade stunt film and had nothing to do with Astronomy or any other science. It was a plain, simple, predictable stunt film. Dhoomketu (Comet) is the name of the film’s Hero. In my entire life I have never come across such a name in any language or any state of India. Hats off to the story writer of this film.

#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #

In this post I once again present a Geeta Dutt song, this time from the movie “Shri Ganesh Janma-1951”. I do not remember to have listened to this song earlier. Regulars on the blog are aware that I am a big Geeta Dutt fan. Whenever I get an opportunity to present a song sung by her I grab the opportunity with both hands and share that song here on the blog.

Today (13 november 2012) is Deewaali, easily India’s biggest festival and a festival which also happens to be the time when Indians do their major shoppings of the year because this is supposed to be the most auspicious occasion for such activities. This festival in fact is celebrated as Laxmi Puja, Laxmi being the goddess of wealth and the consort of Vishnu, one of the three major Gods. Of course this festival is also celebrated as the day when Lord Ram (one of the reincarnations of Vishnu) returned back to Ayodhya with Sita and Laxman after completing his period of Vanwas.
