Today’s song is from a folk tale based film ‘Naulakha Haar’ (1953).
The film was inspired by the famous folk tale of Rajasthan about the love story of Alha-Udal, with the background of 2 warring kingdoms. A lot of cinematic liberty is taken while writing the film story, in order to make the film appealing to more types of audience. Films on famous folk tales are not uncommon in the Hindi film industry. In fact they are a great source of imagination to form hundreds of stories, with desirable changes in the script. Hindi film makers have been making films on such traditional folk stories from all over India. When they exhausted such stories they turned to stories from Arabia and Europe too, besides our own Mythology and Puranas. Some of the love stories I remember offhand , which were made into Hindi films are….

Today’s song is from an imaginary costume film ‘Son of Sindbad’ (1958).
Alibaba, Alladin and Sindbad were the popular characters during our school days. Not only books of their stories but also films made on them were the targets of all children in those days. It was a thrilling experience to get a book on one of these Heroes, as a gift on “Happy Birthday” ! I am not very sure if today’s young children read these stories. I doubt if they even know these names. These boys seem to favour Harry Potter stories, while the young girls are lost on reading Mills and Boon novels, I suppose ! The big fat book ‘Stories of Arabian Nights’ was the most sought after book (in spite of 5 copies) in our school library. Stories of Alibaba, Alladin, Sindbad the sailor, Hatimtai, Gul Bakavali etc enchanted us.

Today’s song is from a Costume drama film Naqab-1955.
This was yet another film weaving a beaten-track story of the King – Queen and the evil Vazir. Initially I was quite amused with such stories and was keen to see these films. Slowly and in due course as I expanded my world, I started getting weary of such set stories. The basic plot used to be the same, only the names of places and the characters and actors used to be different. I guess, even the filmmakers got tired with these stories. In reality, the generation which enjoyed such child pleasing stories was receding in the background with the growing age and the next generation was eager to broaden its visions with different Genres of films like Comedy, Real life adventure, Religion, Love stories, Musicals, Historicals and what not !

“Hamlet”(1954) was produced and directed by Kishore Sahu for Hindustan Chitra Bombay. As is clear from the title, this story was written by William Shakespeare. All sites on internet mentions Pradeep Kuamr and Mala Sinha as the actors, but HFGK has a whole list of actors in this movie. The movie had Kishore Sahu, Mala Sinha, Venus Bannerjee, Hiralal,S Nazeer, Kamnaljeet, Jankidas, Srinath, Nirdoshi, Rajan Kapoor, Pal Sharma, Baby Sheela, Master Ratan, Jagdeesh Kamal, Harun, Agha Miraz, Fazal Khan, Avtar Singh etc in it. There was no Pradeep Kumar. One wonders how online sites got their details that this movie had Pradeep Kumar in it.
