#Krishn-Sudama’s friendship#
———————————————————————
(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-31)
——————————-

Today is ‘World Friendship Day’!!! In our culture we have several legends and stories on friendship and the most popular and touching of them is the story of Krishn-Sudama from our mythology. We also have many Hindi Films made on the theme of friendship. We have many songs based on ‘dost’, ‘dostee’, ‘yaar’, ‘yaaree’ etc. etc.

Today’s song is dedicated to the friendship of Lord Krishn and his poor childhood friend Sudama. The song under discussion is penned by Kavi Pradeep. I have listened to it many times while preparing ths writeup. Every time Listening to this song has given me goose pimples every single time. It is a beautiful and touching song describing the visit of Sudama to the palace of his the childhood friend of Lord Krishn visits him in his palace. The two friends are meeting after a long time and as mentioned in the song this meeting is happening after the ‘Mahaabhaarat yuddh’.

Hullo Atuldom

It is 13 years since the passing of the first Superstar of Hindi cinema. I shall hold back the adjectives that are normally showered on this ICON who had a way to charm the audiences. His smile, emoting eyes etc. had the film viewing public, specially the female viewers swooning all over him, his images and even his CARS. A kind of mania no other actor has managed to replicate since then. He walked into their hearts riding an open top jeep, singing a song composed by S.D. Burman, in the voice of Kishore Kumar. Though that was not his first foray into films.

Let me first clarify that we are remembeing actor/producer Rajesh Khanna who veered towards politics (he contested the 1991/1992 Lok Sabha elections & won the ’92 Bye-election) briefly.
He was a winner of the 1965 All India Talent Contest, organised by United Producers and Filmfare magazine. Actors turned filmmakers Subhash Ghai & Dheeraj Kumar were also contestants in that year.

Today’s song is from the film Billi aka The Cat-1938.

The film was made by the Ranjit Movietone, Bombay, which was known to offer a wide variety of Genres in their films. Family drama, Love story, Comedy, Tragedy Historical, Mythological Stunt and many others , except probably Jungle films like Tarzan etc.

From the beginning, Ranjit was in the big league, having a large spacious studio with all amenities and a battalion of A-1 grade artists in various fields like acting, direction and the technical side. It was called a ” Cine Factory”, because, on all the 8 shooting floors of its studio, continuous shooting went on. Not only their own films, but outside producers also took the floors on rent and made their films. All the material like cameras, helpers, editing and sound facilities, mini theatre and all that was required to make a film was available in Ranjit, including actors, actresses, Lyricists, M.D.s, Directors and what not !

Today’s song is from the film Pataal Bhairavi-1952. This is the film’s last song to feature here, making the film an YIPPEE film.

With all the earlier 8 songs already discussed in detail, almost all the information about the film and its cast is already given by the contributors-including me. This posed a big problem for me as to what I can discuss now that is not yet conveyed in earlier posts. But for every problem there is always a solution and I found it, looking at the cast again. This film was a dubbed film, not a remake and hence all the artistes were from the south. Barring a few main Hero heroines, people outside South are not familiar with other character actors from below the Vindhyas.

This film was produced by Mahipatrai Shah, under the banner of “Roop kala pictures”. He is the same person who had also produced, along with his brother Anupchand Shah, the film “Begunah”-1957 under their banner Roop Kamal Chitra. These brothers were from Saurashtra in Gujarat.
