Today’s funny song is from the stunt film Miss Good Night-1960.

MISS was yet another favourite title of Hindi filmmakers. There were as many as 27 films with titles starting with the word MISS. Compared to this, the males had an upper hand. There were 34 film titles starting with the word Mr. And then, as expected, there were only 3 film titles starting with Mr. and Mrs. Alas ! There was not a single film title starting with the word Mrs. What an injustice !

Today’s song is from an obscure, social film-Deep Jalta Rahe-1959.

India has been, from the beginning, a prolific producer of films.Films have become an inseparable part of Indian people. Earlier there were other sources of entertainment like Radio, dramas, travel, Jatras, get togethrs etc. But now Entertainment means only films.

In January 2022, Shri Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji of Jodhpur- a well known Musicologist and a collector of exclusive records- published some statistics on RMIM forum about Hindi films. According to it, the total number of Hindi films from 1931 to June 2017 (86.5 years) was 12891, giving an average of 150 films per year. The averages per decade till the year 2000 came to 134 films, but in the next 16.5 years the number of films was 208.

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.
