Today’s song is from the social film Naya Kadam-1958.
“Naya” is one of the popular title words of the filmmakers in Hindi films. As many as 40 films were made, having the starting word as Naya- from Naya Aadmi to Naya Zamana, during the period of 1935 to 2009. Not to be left behind, even films having titles starting with Nayi, Nayee or Nai, there were as many as 29 films !
Film Naya kadam-1958 was not a very successful film in 1958, as the year was replete with many entertaining films. It was directed by S.P.Kalla. His life story is like many other film people who, though successful in their vocation in the film industry, try their hand at producing a film and it becomes their nemesis costing them the ultimate- their life !

Today’s song is from the Mythological film Jai Mahadev-1955.
The film produced by Ratlal Vohra, was directed by Ramchandra Thakur. The Music Director was Manna Dey. The cast of the film had as usual, a long list of actors. Some main actors were Nalini Jaywant, Trilok Kapoor, S.N.Tripathi, Dar Kashmiri, Shyam Sunder, Jeevan, Rewa Shankar, Heera Sawant etc etc. There were 4 Guest Artists, which included Umakant Desai (who had done the role of Lakshman in 7 films on Ramayana Stories).
It is very sad that because of intentional wrong education for the last 200 years, we were made to forget all the details of our cultural lifestyles. Thankfully, nowadays some awakening is observed. Hopefully, we should be once again getting all the lost benefits once again.

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.

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.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————
The song in this post is from an unreleased movie ‘Rani Chandravati-1960s’. One song from this movie has been presented on the blog earlier by our Shree Sudhir jee.
Not much information about this movie is available in Geet Kosh Vol-IV (1961-1970) where this movie is mentioned under the section of Un-Released movies. Geet Kosh lists six songs leaving space for the possibility that more songs might have been recorded for this movie. The singer’s names for all the six songs have been mentioned. And they include Suman Kalyanpur and Subir Sen; with Suman Kalyanpur having three solos and one solo by Subir Sen. Music for this movie was composed by S.N. Tripathi. Out of the six songs in the movie two have been identified as penned by lyricist B.D. Mishra.

#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.
