Today’s song is from the film Guru Ghantal-1956.

I remember there was another film of the same title made in 1937, starring the stunt Hero Navinchandra Joshi and Gohar Karnataki – sister of actress/singer Amirbai Karnataki. The other name of that film was ‘Shareef Badmash’. I was wondering as to what was the real meaning of ” Guru Ghantal”. When I tried to find out, I learnt that Guru Ghantal means a Cheater, a very cunning or extra clever person, who is not what he claims to be !

Today’s song is from the film ‘Naqabposh’ (1956).

I am from that generation, which lived in a joint family. There used to be anything from 10 to 20 adult members in the household and everyone was assigned certain duties. As far as children were concerned, doing small jobs, following orders from elders, studying regularly and sleeping early was expected from them.One of the interesting points in our daily life used to be to listen to stories told by the old generation members like the grandfather and grandmother, before we went to sleep.

Commemorating 100 years of Rafi – 44th Death anniversary on 31st July, 2024.

basti basti parbat parbat
gaata jaaye banjaaraa aa
le kar dil ka ek taaraa aa

There are iconic songs in the Hindi film songs, and then there is this song (film ‘Railway Platform’ – 1955). Really. For my generation of Hindi film music fans, this is the iconic one. Like one comment in the blog post says “Vividh Bharati song, Is geet ko koi bhi sachcha listner kaise bhool sakta hai….ek ek shabd, ek ek piece sangeet ka, dil, aur dimaag ke andar record kiya hua hai. Mujhe yaad hai aise bahut log hain JINHONE apni zindagi men PEHLA Hindi geet YE GEET suna, aur Hindi geeton ke deewaane ho gaye. AAJ TAK WOH DEEWANE HAIN.”
