‘Kal Hamaaraa Hai’ (1959) was produced by K Amarnath and was directed by S K Prabhakar. The film’s story and the impression of the film have been well covered in the recent two articles on the film in the Blog. So, I will not repeat the same. Suffice to say here that the film was inspired from then Government’s efforts to improve the economic condition of the people of India through Five-Year Plans. However, there is a need to weed out corruption, anti-social elements and the social injustice. In these efforts, citizens have also some duties to perform, that is, to follow the path of honesty and hard work with the positive attitude.

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Chetak Aur Rana Pratap’. This movie was passed by the Censor Board on 07.08.1958. This movie is making its debut on the blog today, and I am surprised that so far it was missing here. Perhaps unavailability of the songs of this movie was the reason. Now a couple of songs of this movie have become available since 2019. The title of the movie suggests that it falls under the genre of ‘historical movies’.

The Tamil version of the film was a box office hit which put Sivaji Ganesan in Super Star league among the Tamil film actors.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film- Navratri-1955.

The word ‘Navratri’ evokes memories of the festive atmosphere of Dussehra and the following fun days of Diwali, just about 3 weeks ahead. During our childhood, this was the time to buy new clothes or something which the parents had promised to give us at Diwali time. In the evening a gang of surrounding friends used to go visiting our friends in other areas. Meeting elders and seeking their blessings was mandatory.

This is my 1500th article on this Blog !

It’s difficult for me to believe that in a span of 148 months or 4440 days I wrote 1500 articles on one Blog alone. Articles written on other Blogs and sites are not included in this. Those are about 200. Add to it my 9 books already published (5 Solo and 4 co-authored). Over 500 film reviews and comments on this and other Blogs which are about 700 +. Being a methodical person, I have kept records of all these. Learning ABCD of work on Computers at the age of 70 years, I could do all this at this age is the Greatest Blessing of the Almighty. Thanks to Him !
