Today’s song is from the film ‘Circus Queen’ (1959).

Readers who are above or around 50 to 60 years of age will surely remember how exciting was a visit to a circus show, in their childhood. We would see animals, generally found in the zoo, doing unbelievable tasks in the circus and then there were those inevitable jokers, who would try hard to make the public laugh. Especially the younger audience would love them. Gone are those days. Nowadays circus shows have become rare and there are no animals in them, I suppose.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Baghdad Ki Raaten’ (1962).

The film is labelled as ‘kalpanik‘, (काल्पनिक) meaning based on an imaginary story. I would have loved to meet the writer of this story, who had such fantastic imagination, but the film mentioned that the story was by the ‘Story Department ‘ of the banner/studio. That explains ! It is not possible to imagine such stories by one single person. The Arabian Night stories were supposed to be told by Scheherazade-wife of the King Shehriar of Persia- to her husband at the rate of one story a night for continuously 1001 nights, to avoid her death. I am sure even she would gladly embrace death after hearing the ‘Arabian Stories’ made by the imaginative story departments of Indian films ! In this one department, we easily defeat the rest of the world’s filmmakers !!

Today’s song is a comedy duet from the film Alibaba and 40 Thieves-1954.

Stories of Arabian Nights or 1001 Nights are so interesting that for many generations they have been a source of entertainment.Alibaba,Allauddin and Sindbad are the evergreen stories. Arabian Night stories evolved through a story which took place in Persia. King Shahriyar became a woman hater after he found that his wife was unfaithful to him. He not only killed her,but he started marrying a new girl every time and on the second day of Marriage the wife would be killed to avoid unfaithfulness.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.104
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years ago (1 May 2013), eight songs from eight different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
8013 Ajee dil ho qaaboo mein to Village Girl (1945) 11 songs covered out of 12 by now. Final song unavailable
8014 Tan Man Mera tarse Paataal Bhairavi (1952) 5 songs covered out of 9 by now
8015 Pyaar nahin chhupta chhupaane se Laadla (1954) 9 songs covered out of 10 by now
8016 Teri mehfil tera jalwa teri soorat dekh li Sohni Mahiwal(1958) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
8017 Pehle beej akela Sant Tukaram (1965) 4 songs covered out of 8 by now
8018 Jobna se chunariya khisak gayee re Dhundh (1973) Movie YIPPEED in the blog with this song
8019 O phoolon ke desh waali…Haath mere hai madhu ka pyaala Aarop (1974) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
8020 Bibi mendhki ri tu to paani mein ki raani Garam Coat(1955) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now

We observe that four movies (out of eight) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago (on 1 May 2013) have since been YIPPEED.Two more movies have only one song left to be covered, but these songs are not available. So practically only two unYIPPEED movies are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today on 1 May 2023.
