A movement that lasted almost 100 years – starting with disjoint uprisings against the Britishers, and the first coordinated war of independence in 1857, the struggle and resistance was carried forward by many stalwarts across the entire country. There was the nationwide resistance movement through political and social disobedience. Besides, there were other complementary movements, that added impetus to this struggle for freedom. Groups of young people, charged with the objective of bringing to end the oppressive reign of an alien government, came together in various cities in different parts of the country, and conducted local resistance and struggle. Kundan, the 1955 production from Minerva Movietone, depicts one such group of young men, as a subplot to the main theme and story of the film.

It is an unenvious task for a music director when he is asked to create a song that should be inspired from an iconic song and at the same time it should stand out on its own. I am sure the makers of “Jab Jab Phool Khile” (1965) wanted Kalyanji Anandji to create a song similar to the iconic song Yahoo chaahe koyi mujhe junglee kahe(Junglee).
