I had thought that Rafi-Lata duets were all posted in the blog. I have looked in the list some years back, trying to find a duet of these two for the Rafi series. Among the old songs of 50’s and 60’s there were none to be found. Only one film in the 60s had a song, which was a mythological movie and the song audio video was very bad. Even then I had saved it but eventually posted that group song from “Kranti” and that was that.

Then out of the blue I saw a duet posted by Sadanand Kamath Sir. Then I realised, that I may not have gone through the whole list, and left the job halfway, losing hope. For once, I gave up too soon.

Today’s song is from the ‘Social’ film – Sara Jahan Hamara-1961.

I do not understand on what basis filmmakers give titles to their films. This film is categorised as a ‘Social’ film in HFGK. The film story has a murder, lootmar, girl trading, fighting, court, Jail and such things. Embedded in all this there is a Love story. In my opinion, the film should have been classified either as a stunt/action film or a crime/mystery film.

Anyway, it is always a mystery how the film makers decide the titles of their films. When I rummaged through the The Film Title index book (1931-2012) by Hamraz ji, I found some interesting titles.

Today’s song is from the film Zindagi ke mele-1956.

This was a social film having an ordinary story, without any famous or top star. The only good thing about this film was its Music Director – Chitragupt, the king of melody. If at all the producer had got back all his money invested, he should be thankful to Chitragupt for his music, otherwise nothing special was there in this film.

#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
—————————————————————

Today on 24th December 2024 we are celebrating the birth centenary of the legendary singer Mohd Rafi. He was born on 24th December 1924. On this occasion we are presenting songs sung by Mohd Rafi. As I mentioned in my earlier post today I am trying to post Rafi songs starting from the decade of 1941-1950. With this song I move to the decade of 1951-1960. Here is a song from the ‘1957’ movie “Paisaa” which was a movie of social genre. It was directed by Prithviraj Kapoor and it was his home production for ‘Prithvi Theatres, Bombay’.

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Remembrance Day – Sanjeev Kumar)
————————————-

Today 6th November’2024 is the fortieth ‘Remembrance Day’ of the legendary actor Sanjeev Kumar (09.07.1938 – 06.11.1985). His movies are very much the part of my growing years. Movie watching people like me who were born in the end-sixties or early seventies cannot forget Sanjeev Kumar and his films. He was one of those rare actors whom everybody was a fan of. In our cricket playing group where we had juniors, seniors as well as classmates, whenever we used to discuss Hindi movies the movies of Sanjeev Kumar and his performance was always fondly discussed. He was also one of those actors whom we liked to giving stellar acting performances that left the audiences mesmerizing.

Today’s song is a forgotten good song from the film Ghulam Begum Badshah-1956.

Those who were young in the decade of the 50’s and 60’s, had grown up reading stories which started with “Once upon a time….”. These imaginary stories told the adventures, wars, fights, Love stories etc. of kings and rebels. Filmmakers were intelligent enough to make up and use such stories to entertain their audience. These stories had ample scope for big, impressive sets, colourful and royal costumes, fights, beautiful dancers, magicians, plotting evil prime ministers (vaziers) and the rebels, who finally won the kingdom and the love of the beautiful princess !

Today’s song is from the comedy film titled ‘Chalis baba Ek Chor’ (1954).

Obviously, the famous and popular story from the Arabian Nights – Alibaba aur Chalis Chor, has been used here for a parody of the film title. The film was produced by K Arts, a banner owned by the producer Kamini Kaushal (real name Uma Kashyap). Being the producer, she had the right to be the heroine of the film too ! The hero of the film was a misfit – Balraj Sahni. Undoubtedly, he was an excellent actor, but his personality, looks and his role history made him unfit for the comedy or romantic films. Some actors create an image with their early films and it sticks with them. After sometime, the audience finds it difficult to accept them in the roles diagonally opposite to their established image.

Hullo Atuldom

Just like my previous post, here is a look at the posts on the blog on This Date That Year (viz on 9 December 2013):-

Song Movie (Year) Remarks
Gori tere liye sabka jiya doley Shamsheer (1953) post by Arukumarji. Oonly one song till now from this movie
Ik baat suni hai chaachaa jee batlaane waali hai Naram Garam (1981) my post. three out of six songs have been posted so far

That means, on that day, there were only two posts, which were posted after 8 p.m. Must have been a really long and busy day for Atulji. Because, if I remember correctly, those days, Atulji used to make his first post almost at the break of dawn; he still does that.
