Greetings and wishing all friends and readers a very Happy and a Promising Republic Day.
The nation has come a long way from the first Republic Day in 1950. 73rd celebration of this momentous event that proclaimed and established India as a Republic. The new Constitution of the nation, which had been under discussion, preparation, reviews and approval process for the previous three years, was finally signed by the members of the Constituent Assembly and adopted as the guiding document for the nation.

Mukesh and his Actors – 01
——————————————-
Well, the Halley’s comet is back on the blog.
So much so that it did not feature in nearly two centuries of latest posts. Reasons? Aren’t they cliches already on the blog?
Incidentally, speaking of the real macro universe comet itself, it last appeared in 1986 and is expected to pass by the pale blue dot next in July 2061. Second week of December this year, it reached the farthest point from the sun known as aphelion, thus beginning its journey towards the inner solar system.
So, the date for sighting arguably the most famous comet is set for July 2061 for earthlings alive then.
Coming back to the blog, we start with a new series Mukesh and his Actors. This has been a task which I had been contemplating for years and remained a non-starter mainly because I could not decide as to which actor, I should take up for the debut post.

Today’s song is from the maiden film Hotel-1956. The film was made by Bright Light Productions, Bombay.
After the II World War, a lot of Black Money came into the film industry. People having this type of unaccounted money were on the look out for investing it clandestinely so that they could earn legitimate profit on it and a part of their money could become White. Many times it was also a way to show huge losses and escape from the Income tax levies. In addition, Film industry glamour was an added attraction. Moving and mixing with well known stars and the late night parties where wine and women were freely available were very alluring too. some of such financiers had an ambition to become Director or an actor and their ill gotten money was helpful to fulfil such desires. So, during the period of 1946 to the mid-50’s, one can find few ‘onetime’ directors and actors in the credits of films. In the Geet kosh, one will find the column of ‘producer’ blank in many such films, as remaining anonymous was an early escape from drawing attention.

Today’s song is from the Stunt film Bhedi Bangla-1949.
The tradition of making stunt/action films is as old as the birth of Silent films. During the silent era, due to the lack of sound -dialogues or music – the visuals had all the importance. The effect of forceful dialogues had to be put in visuals, which is extremely difficult. Imagine the famous scene of film Deewar-1975 (mere paas ‘Maa’ hai) without the superb voice modulation of the dialogue. Would it give the same effect on the audience ? Certainly not !. So, the best way was to give visuals which are self explanatory. A man hitting a blow to another man does not require dialogue or superb histrionics !

I had discussed in my earlier articles, a couple of lesser-known actors like Shaam Kumar and Keshav Rana, who have worked in a large number of films but mostly remained unidentified for the general film audience. But their faces were known to them even though they may appear in the films in small roles or sidekicks. One of such actors was Kamal Mehra.

Entire month of october and first half of november saw India awash in cricket mania. ODI World cup cricket was being held in India from 5 october 2023 to 19 november 2023.
As games progressed, we found India keep winning one match after another. They won all their nine group matches and finished top of the table. In contrast, other teams had to scramble and fight hard to qualify for the semi finals. When the group matches were over, India were at the top with nine wins, South Africa and Australia, with seven wins each were second and third. New Zealand, with five wins took the fourth and final semi final position. Other six teams, including England the defending champions fell by the wayside.

(A Tribute to Kishore Kumar – The Versatile Genius)
Today (13 October 2023) we pay our tributes to the ‘versatile genius’ Kishore Kumar (04.08.1929 – 13.10.1987) on his thirty-sixth ‘Remembrance Anniversary’.
Much has already been written about Kishore Kumar in the media and on this blog too. So I am not going to repeat the same today. But I would like to mention that Kishore Kumar will be discussed till HFM exists on this planet. Much will be written about him till the HFM exists on this planet. People of future generations will keep coming across his songs and his biography and his acting and musical skills and his writing skills and his directing skills and … we can go on adding about this multifaceted personality, and a simple yet sometimes eccentric human being.One needs to into depth into his life to understand Kishore Kumar fully. So people will keep discoving facts about him.

Today’s song is from the film Parichay-1954.
When I sat to write this post, suddenly I realised that in the last 20 posts, I have written 16 posts ( a cool 80 %) on songs from films of the 50’s. Normally I try to have a mix of songs from different decades – my favourites being the 30’s and the 40’s – so that the readers have some variety, while reading the posts. This time somehow, the songs from the 50’s seem to have overtaken all other songs !

As per Hindu mythology, the Sun god is travelling in the sky on a chariot pulled by seven horses. After pulling the chariot for a long time, the six horses are tired. It is the seventh horse who remains and continues to pull the chariot signifying it to be the horse of dreams and aspirations for the future. In 1952, Dr Dharamvir Bharati published his novella, ‘Suraj Ka Saatvan Ghoda’. I read the novella in full which is available online. The novella is written in narration style in which the protagonist, Manik Mulla narrates to his three friends, three separate romance stories relating to three girls. What is of interest is that Manik Mulla is not only the narrator of the stories, but he is also the characters in all the three stories who loves these three girls at different points of time in his life. As Agyeya said in his foreword to the novella, ‘Suraj Ka Saatvan Ghoda’ is not the one story comprising three stories, but three stories constituting one story. The author, in his introduction, has revealed that during his early period of writing, he was influenced by Marxist objectives rather than hardcore Marxism. In this novella, some indications of that objectives can be inferred. The full novella in Hindi can be read here.
