Today’s song is from a Mythological film – Shiv Kanya-1954.

The decade of the 1950 was known for 2 things. As we all know, the first thing was that it was the peak of “The Golden Era” of Hindi film music. Secondly, it was also the peak of Mythological and Religious films (124 films in 10 years). So, there was atleast 1 such new film every month continuously for the next 120 months !

When so many Mythological films are made, naturally many stories are repeated in some way or the other. Usually stories from the 18 Puranas, 18 Up-Puranas and 2 Epics- Ramayana and Mahabharat are used for films. Fed up with the usual stories, some filmmakers tried to find unused new stories from the puranas,while some tried to cook up own stories by using the Mythological names and mixing several stories.

Sunday 12 April 2026 was a sad day for music lovers. Just as people were waking up to a leisurly sunady morning that they came to know that Asha Bhonsle was hospitalised following some uneasiness. Such age related problems are normal, most people thought and got on with their lives. But a few hours later, came the shocking news that Asha Bhonsle was no more. What a devastating loss for music lovers. It was on another sunday that Lata Mangeshkar had departed for her heavenly abode. That was four years ago. So both sisters have followed each other at the same age of 92.
