We all have heard of World Happiness Index. We have heard about it because this index gives India a very low rating. People in India who believe in this rating ironically do not believe in ratings that show India in good light. On the other hand, there are people who wonder how India can be ranked so low when we see countries that appear in far more distress than India ranked higher than India.

On this date ten years ago (2 May 2013), four songs from four different movies (plus one non film song) were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
8021 Chamkat damkat daamini Geet Govind (1947) 4 songs covered out of 15 by now
8022 Tumbak tumba tumbak tumba Chaar Chaand (1953) 6 songs covered out of 9 by now

Today’s song is a duet from the film ‘Duniya Jhukti Hai’ (1960).

It was a social film made by the legendary Wadia Movietone. It was directed by the elder of the two brothers- JBH.Wadia. The MD was Hemant Kumar and the songs were written by Rajendra Krishna. The cast of the film was Sunil Dutt, Shyama, Daisy Irani, Kumkum, Agha, BM Vyas, Damuanna Malavankar, Madhu Apte, Dalpat, Neelambai and many others. There are two actors from Marathi cinema. Let us know more about them as not much is known about them in the Hindi cinema world.

Yesterday (24 April 2023), I was on an overdrive, as far as posting of articles in the blog was concerned. I ended up posting as many as eight articles on that day. Posting eight articles in a day was fairly common in the blog one decade ago. For instance, during april 2013, eight articles were covered on ten days and nine articles were covered on another four days. That year saw eight songs posted on as many as 36 days (10% of the days in that year). But things are different now a days. During the last seven years, we have touched this figure of eight songs in a day only four times !

Today’s song is from the film Do Dulhe-1955.

This film was made by United Film Arts, Bombay, jointly with Gemini Pictures, Madras. The entire film was shot completely in the Gemini Studios, Madras, because this Hindi film was a remake of a Popular Tamil Hit film ” Manam Pola Mangalyam “-1953. A remarkable thing about this film was that it was the first film of Gemini Ganesan ( real name Ramasamy Ganesan), one of the 3 biggest stars of Tamil films ( the other two being M G Ramachandran and Sivaji Ganesan) and actress Savitri (real name Nissankara Savitri) who was an actress, Playback singer, Director and Producer.

(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).
