Today’s song is from the film Sipahiya-1949.

Many film artists – actors, singers, directors etc – have written their autobiography. If you take a look at all these, the females have more autobios than the males, for reasons not known to me. In my last few years of activity in the arena of old films, I have collected many books and have received many books as ‘Gifts’ from the authors. Among these, there are many autobios, including the autobio of C Ramchandra, music director of today’s film Sipahiya-1949.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film ‘Subhadra’-1946.

The genre of Mythological films was one of the most favourite one of the filmmakers from the day filmmaking started in India. If you remember, even the first ever silent film made by Dadasaheb Phalke- Raja harishchandra-1913 – was based on King Harishchandra’s story from the Vishnu Puran. This was because the Indian culture was such that irrespective of the caste and creed, everyone liked to see these stories which they heard from several generations. In those years, the Hindu population of India was 85 % ( as per 1921 Census). Steadily, these types of films became less and less and by 1990 onwards, as far as I know, there were no Mythological films worth mentioning.
