Today, March 6, 2025, is the 7th Remembrance Day of Shammi Aunty (26/04/1929 – 06/03/2018). Her trade mark smile with a cheerful face which many of us have seen during her six decades of filmy career, masked her chequered life – both personal and professional. The tough life which she had gone through in her childhood made her to accept any type of roles out of the financial necessity. That made Shammi to act in various genre of roles. In the event, she became more well-known in her character roles than her lead/second lead roles of early 1950s.

Today’s song is from the comedy film ” Mr. Cartoon, M.A.-” 1958.
What a coincidence ! Last Sunday, I had selected a song from this film to be discussed today (usually I line up 3-4 songs for writing posts). However, the same song was discussed by our Sadanand Kamath ji, on Monday, 3rd March. Instead of going for another film song, I selected the only remaining song from this film for today’s post. Being the last song of the film, it will make the film YIPPEED today !

‘Sitam’ (1991) was produced by Vikram Makandar (Vikram, the actor) who also wrote the story. The film was directed by the then husband-wife duo – Aruna-Vikas. The cast included Naseeruddin Shah, Smita Patil, Vikram, Arun Sarnaik, Keith Stevenson, Sulabha Deshpande, Manju Asrani, Vikas Desai, Master Hith (Aruna-Vikas’s son) etc. The film is said to be based on a real-life story which happened during a football match. The film’s completion was delayed as Aruna-Vikas were pre-occupied with their young daughter’s cancer treatment and subsequently her passing away in 1983. The film’s shooting was completed sometime in 1984. This was the only film which Vikram produced.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Chor-1950. For reasons unknown, the name of this film in HFGK is written as Chore, whereas everywhere else, including in Hindi in HFGK itself it is mentioned as Chor only !
The film was directed by Anand Prasad Kapoor (32 films as a director and 2 films as an actor) and the film had music from Pt. Govind Ram. Before we move further, I have a query – do you know which actor in Hindi films had his real name as Indriya Daman (इंद्रिय दमन ) ? I know it is a difficult question and 99% readers will not be able to give the right answer.

However this series then went on backburner. When I went abroad for a project assignment for almost three years, this series totally lost its way among other priorities/posts.

Today’s song is from an ” interesting” film – Pamposh-1953.
I have always been stating that History is never permanent. Whenever new evidence comes, the history changes to that effect. Same is the case with Film History. It keeps on changing, whenever honest workers dig up new evidence with credible proofs. This is normal and Film History lovers have accepted it too. Occasionally – very occasionally or almost rarely, some such evidence comes out which no one had ever dreamt about and when no one had ever doubted the existing accepted matters as facts.
