BHAJAN MALA – GOLDEN 50s (Pushp – 9)
——————————————-

Today’s bhajan is from a film called Patit Pawan-1955.

The word Patit Paawan is generally used for Shri Ram. This is based on a story that, Ahilya, who was the wife of Rishi Gautam,was very beautiful and was cheated by Indra Dev. Smitten by her beauty, he comes disguised as Rishi Gautam, her husband and has a good time with her. When the real Rishi Gautam comes to know about it, he is so furious that he curses Ahilya and turns her into a stone and she would have to remain in that state till Sri Ram’s feet touched her when she would regain her human form. After a few years, Lord Shri Ram comes that way and touches the stone and thereby frees Ahilya from the curse and she regains her human form. Thus, a Patit (the fallen one) is made Paawan (is purified), hence the name Patit Paawan for Shri Ram.

The 1960 film ‘Chhabeeli’ is not well remembered or talked about much. It was planned as the launch vehicle for Tanuja, by her mother Shobhna Samarth. Whatever else may have been the performance and success factors of the film otherwise, there is one aspect that is unique and significant about this film. Which also makes one wonder about the peculiarities of the cinema world, and its stereotyping. The film has a very delightfully mesmerizing song – “Ae Mere Hamsafar, Rok Apni Nazar” , which is sung by Nutan herself under the music direction of Snehal Bhatkar. This song, along with another equally mesmerizing duet of Nutan and Hemant Kumar – “Lehron Pe Lehar, Ulfat Hai Jawaan” , make this film and its music worth remembering. Both the music director and the lyricist, a gentleman by the name S Ratan, have excelled in this creating these two songs. And the rendering of these songs by Nutan – ah, that is just a class by itself.

BHAJAN MALA – GOLDEN 50s (Pushp-7)
—————————————

One advantage of seeing religious films was that it increased your knowledge of mythology and the Puranas. Though there was a common principle highlighted( Satyamev Jayate or the victory of Good over Bad ), every story’s treatment and content used to be different. With our Holy books overflowing with stories involving all types of Gods, Godesses and Bhakts, film producers must have never fallen short of stories. Famous and well known studios like Bombay Talkies, Sagar, Mohan, Prakash, Prabhat, Wadia or Filmistan stuck to popular and traditional stories like Satyavan Savitri, Bhakta Dhruv, Shri Ram or Shrikrishna. other production companies tried comparatively less known, unknown or even Hybrid stories (Mythological base but treated in filmy style) to make films.
