“Maano Na Maano”(1955) alternatively titled “Believe it or not” and “Andhkaar” was produced by Pranlal K Doshi and directed by B K Adarsh for Movie Entertainers, Bombay. HFGK, in its footnote describes this movoie as Indian’s first psychological drama. The movie failed at the box office so spectacularly that information about its star cast too is not known. The music director Hansraj Bahl provided HFGK the names of some actors as Satish, Chitra, Baldev Mehta and Naaz. That is all the information that is available about this movie.

‘Shree Ram Bharat Milan-1965’, a mythological movie was directed by Manibhai Vyas for R.M. Art Productions, Bombay. It was produced by Ratan and Mohan and presented by Pt Madhur and S.P. Mangal. As mentioned by me in my earlier posts for this movie’s songs, this movie covers the story of Ramayana starting from Seeta Swayamwar, Kaikeyi seeking the throne for her son Bharat, and vanvaas to Shree Raam in lieu of the two boons that Raja Dashrath had promised her earlier, Bharat not accepting the throne and instead carrying Raam’s paadukaa and worshipping it, and finally Raja Raam’s coming back to Ayodhya after fourteen years of vanvaas.

Prithviraj Kapoor played Raja Dashrath, Nirupa Roy played Kaikeyi, Sulochana was Kaushalya, Anita Guha was Seeta, actor Mahipal was Raam’, and actor Rajkumar (from south?) was Bharat. They were supported by the other cast members viz Saraswati, Balakram, Bhuvna, B.M. Vyas, Sunanda, Niranjan Sharma, Padma Rani, Arvind, Vanmala, Joirabhai, Anand Tiwari, C.N. Kapoor, Shekhar Purohit and others.

Today 28th September 2025 is the 96th Birth Anniversary of the Nightingale of India Lata Mangeshkar. So here’s a rare song to celebrate this happy day. The song is “Gaon Gaon Ghoomi Shaher Shaher Chaana” from Jalte Badan (1973). The song is written by Maya Govind and composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal.

Regular readers of this blog will remember my recent post from this movie, giving you the details of the movie and its story.

Hullo Atuldom

Back after a gap of around one & half months.

Have been so active, doing various other activities, that for the first time, since 2009 (when I discovered the blog) and 2012 (when my first post appeared on the blog), I missed a few milestones (the 17,700th post) on the day it was posted. Also missed a post by Sudhir ji, which featured a song which I simply love to see “Wo Ladki Hai Kahaan“.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.106
————————————————————————————–

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) 5 songs covered out of 9 by now
8023 Reh na sakoge ham bin sajan pachhtaaoge Rimjhim (1949) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
8024 Dil mein basa le apna bana le Rangeela(1953) 8 songs covered out of 11 by now
8025 Sunsaan Jamuna ka kinaara…meri bhi ik Mumtaz thhi Manna Dey NFS (1970)

We observe that one movie (out of four) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago (on 2 May 2013) has since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with three unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year CHallenge today (2 May 2023).

“Geet Govind”(1947) is one of the three BTYC eligible movies.

It really has been a while– I do not follow the current Hindi films scene on a regular basis. I think this started in mid 1980s. One factor was that my life became quite mobile as far as my work situation was concerned. Moving to Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1987, then on to US in 1988, back in Delhi 1996, change of workplace two times, and then back again in the US in 2000. Back in Delhi 2009/10, and then more ongoing travel albeit shorter and less frequent.
