Today’s song is from an obscure film called ‘Room No. 17’ from 1961.

This film is categorized as a ‘social’ film in the HFGK. I wonder on what basis it can be called a ‘social’ film. What I understand by ‘social’ category is when the film revolves around a family problem or a social custom. If not that, then at least the film should show a relationship crisis or an age old social evil or even a simple family dispute. But this film is nothing like this. The film story has 4 murders, 2 accidents, kidnapping, police encounter and multiple attacks by criminals. Embedded in all this there is a love story and a murder mystery. In my opinion, the film should have been classified either as a stunt/action film or a crime/mystery film.

In this post I am presenting a song which is a ‘qawwali’ song from the ‘1964’ movie ‘Khufia Mahal’.

I become aware of this movie only through this blog and the Geet Kosh Vol-IV (1961-1970).

Today’s song is from a film called Gun Fight aka Bandookbaaz-1960. The film makes a Debut on this Blog.

Funniest part is that the HFGK describes it as a ” Costume film”. Generally, a Costume film is a film in which you see a King, Queen, Vazier or some Historical figures wearing odd, shining and elaborate dresses and who live in big palaces with hundreds of servants who come running after a clap ( a call bell provided to all by God !) of hands. This film is nothing of this sort. All the characters in this film wear normal clothes, live in ordinary houses and lead routine lives. I have seen this film, in the times when such films were in the dying stages. The cast of the film consists of names usually found in a C grade stunt film… Niloufer, Anjum, Moti (Dog), Baagla, Funny Walker, Maqbool, Bilali, Premi, Mohd. Agha, Shaukat, Sharan Asi, Moosa, Mohd. Sandow etc. etc. But it was not a stunt film either.

(Muqaable Ki Raat 1970s (UR)) (A tribute to Lyricist – Fauq Jami)

In my earlier post today (10 april 2023) I had mentioned about today being the ‘Remembrance Anniversary’ of lyricist Fauq Jami.

On this occasion we had already posted a song written by him from the movie ‘Guzaaraa-1954’. In all Fauq Jami had written songs for only three Hindi movies viz. ‘Guzaaraa-1954’, ‘Saawan Ko Aane Do-1979’ and one incomplete or un-released movie from the seventies (As per information available on online sources).

Today’s song is a funny video song featuring Master Bhagwan and Tun Tun, from the film Lucky Number-1961.

This so-called ‘social film’ was almost a C grade Murder-Mystery film having unknown directors and B and C grade actors, who were on the waning career road. It was produced and directed by Man Mohan Sabir under his own banner Man Mohan Films, Bombay. he had Mohan Rathod, the film’s editor as his Co-Director. man mohan Sabir had also written 4 of the 7 songs of this film. 2 Songs were by Anand Bakshi and 1 song was by actor David, who was also acting in this film. Looks like that the film was made on a very economical budget by taking multitasking artistes !

Today’s song is from the film Son of Alibaba-1955.

I would like to pay my humble respects to the unique, incomparable and extraordinary imagination of the Indian filmmakers in giving the most innovative titles to their films ! In the book of Arabian Nights there are only characters like Sindbad, Aladdin, Alibaba etc. Nowhere in the book there is a mention of their sons or daughters or other close relatives. But our Indian filmmakers have very benevolently provided them with children and thus were the films made like Aladdin ka beta-1955, Aladdin Laila-1941/55, Aladdin ki Beti-1949, Daughter of Sindbad-1958.
