Today’s song is from the Stunt film Bhedi Bangla-1949.

The tradition of making stunt/action films is as old as the birth of Silent films. During the silent era, due to the lack of sound -dialogues or music – the visuals had all the importance. The effect of forceful dialogues had to be put in visuals, which is extremely difficult. Imagine the famous scene of film Deewar-1975 (mere paas ‘Maa’ hai) without the superb voice modulation of the dialogue. Would it give the same effect on the audience ? Certainly not !. So, the best way was to give visuals which are self explanatory. A man hitting a blow to another man does not require dialogue or superb histrionics !

Only one song is being covered daily most of the days, with some exceptions. Do our regulars recall the date when the blog saw its last century ? Last blog century, which was song post number 18000 for the blog was posted on 18 september 2023 (Blog day number 5540). Today is 6 December 2023 (blog day number 5619). 79 days have passed since the last blog century. So it is clear that the blog is averaging just over one song a day from that day, thus the blog is living upto its name “song a day”. 🙂
