Today’s song is from the social film Minister-1959.

The 1950s and the early 60s was the period in which the Hindi film industry churned out films which tried to glorify the impractical approaches to real problems, under the guise of Indian traditions. This was in line with what Nehru espoused as Socialism. Unfortunately, it took the Indian public farther from reality and instead of advancing, we went back another two decades. It was only after the war with China in 1962 and demise of Nehru in 1964, the wheels turned the right way slowly after winning the war of 1965 with Pakistan, under the leadership of Shastri ji, India knew and understood what was necessary for the country to progress. After Indira Gandhi took over and implemented certain strong measures, the influence on Indian people changed for the better.

Today’s song is from the film Kundan-1955.

The film was made by Minerva Movietone, produced and directed by Sohrab Modi. I liked Sohrab Modi very much. Not only because he could deliver long dialogues forcefully, but because his life story was very inspiring. In India there were few other filmmakers and directors who handled topics normally considered Taboo by others and some filmmakers who never hesitated to make films on unusual themes, when the trend was to make entertaining, musical and romantic films. Sohrab Modi was perhaps the only filmmaker who made films to expose the social ills through the cinematic medium from his first film.

Today’s song is a song sung by Madhubala Jhaveri, for the film Jeevan Sathi-1957.

This film had a criss-cross and a jumble of lovers. The imagination of the story writer was stretched to the maximum to get the criss-crossed loving pairs together by the end of the film. It was a story unique by itself and I guess such a thing would never happen in real life. The film was produced by Dhanwant Shah under his own banner- D.S.Films, Bombay. It was directed by R.S.Tara and the music was by Bulo C Rani with the assistant C.Arjun- a composer in the making.

Today’s song is the last and final song of the film Hatimtai-1956.

I have a very funny memory about this film’s name, Hatim Tai. During my school days, when I first got the book “Stories of Hatim Tai”, from my school Library for reading, I thought these were the stories of the elder sister of someone called Hatim. I thought so because in marathi, ” TAI” means ‘Didi’ or elder sister. However, once i started readingthe book, I realised that I was wrong and Hatimtai was the name of the Hero of the stories. For many years thereafter, I kept on wondering about this misleading name. Finally, in another book I got the answer to my curiosity.
