Today’s songs from a Mythological film ‘Gaj Gauri’ (1958). The cast of this film consisted of Sulochana (Latkar), Ratnamala, Shahu Modak, Anant Kumar, Nana Palshikar and a host of mostly Marathi artistes plus an elephant named Ram Prasad.
When the talkie films era came to India, the early filmmakers tended to make films on folk tales and mythological stories in the first decade, i.e. 1931 to 1940. In the second decade of 1941 to 1950 many religious films were made. Some of them like ‘Ram Rajya’ (1943) being an all India blockbuster. And the third decade from 1951 to 1960 achieved the peak for mythological films made, worth calling it ‘The Golden Period of Religious films’. As many as 124 such films were made in this decade. From 1961 to 1970 and 1971 to 1980 were ok, but 1980 onwards there was a decline in such films and mythological films became scarce except some dubbed films from the South, where such films are made even today regularly. The television became a competition to this as many dharmik serials were shown on TV.

#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————
“Bhalaa Aadmi-1958” was directed by Bhagwan for Unity Films, Bombay. It had Anita Guha, Chandrashekhar, Bhagwan, Kumkum, Kumar, Protima Devi, Baburao Pahalwan, Shyam Kumar, Leela Gandhi, Ulhas and others.
This obscure movie had ten songs where three lyricists contributed lyrics for this movie. This was also the first movie of Anand Bakshi as a lyrics-writer. Out of the ten songs Saba Afghani wrote three songs, Anand Bakshi wrote five songs and Ehsan Rizvi the third lyrics writer wrote two songs for this movie ‘Bhalaa Aadmi-1968’. The playback singers for this movie included Suman Kalyanpur, Bhooshan, and Sudha Malhotra. But as per information available in Geet Kosh Vol-III (1951-1960) singers’ name for only four songs are mentioned and the singers’ names for six songs are not mentioned, so there is a possibility of more singers singing for this movie. Music for this movie was composed by Nisar.

#Debutant Movie- Alam Ara Ki Beti-1960#
Today we introduce the movie ‘Alam Ara Ki Beti-1960’ on this blog. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 02.02.1960. Initially I was surprised to note this, because I was under the impression that this movie has been represented on the blog long back. But the reason for this was confusing this with the title ‘Alam Ara’. We have three movies with this title made in the year 1931, 1956 & 1973 already available on this blog.
This movie ‘Alam Ara Ki Beti-1960’ was directed by Nanubhai Vakil for Desai Kalamandir, Bombay. Moghabhai Desai was the producer of this movie. The cast of this movie had Naina, Maruti, Daljeet, Prakash, Kanchanmala, Jeevankala, Sadik, Tuntun, Munshi Munakka, Chandabai, Nazmi, Sashimala, M. Kumar, Nadir, Meharbanu, Razzaq, Pawan Kumar, Ismail Azad, Yusuf Azad Qawwaal and others.

Today’s song is from a failed, potent comedy film Andher Nagari Chaupat Raja-1955.
The film was made by Chitramahal, Bombay and produced by Ashalata Biswas- ex wife of Music Director Anil Biswas. Though she had separated from Anil Biswas in 1954 itself, she continued using his surname till she was in films. The film was directed by Shamim Bhagat, about whom my guess is that he may be Ashalata Biswas’s brother. Her name before marriage was Meharunnisa Bhagat. The Music Director of this film was Avinash Vyas, ably assisted by Sanmukh babu Upadhyaya, who later on became an independent MD for film Lalkar-1956. He gave music to only 7 Hindi films, mostly B and C grade films. The cast of the film was Chitra, Amarnath, Gope, Umadevi and many others.

Today’s song is the last and the final song from the film Chhabili-1960.
Every country has some speciality or a peculiar characteristic, which is unique to itself.
For example, the loyalty of the British Citizen to their King/Queen, the extraordinary National Pride of the Japanese, the pride of every American for their rich country etc. So, what is India’s speciality ?
