Today’s song is froma Mythological film – Veer Arjun-1952.

The film was made by Ajit Pictures, Bombay belonging to the producer Ratilal Punatar. He was the Nephew (Bhanja) of Chandulal Shah (owner of Ranjit Movietone). The film was directed by a very learned author- Ramchandra Thakur. There were 2 MDs- Avinash Vyas (6 songs) and S. Mohinder (1 song). The cast included Trilok Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, Mahipal, P. Kailash, Dulari, Mehtab, Usha, Amirbai Karnataki, S,N.Tripathi, Pesi Patel, yashwant Dave and many others. Compared to any Social or Action/Costume film, there are always more artists in a Mythological film, as it has (too) many characters in its story, like e.g. Nakul and Sahdev…sometimes they have no dialogues also or 100 Kauravas. Only Dushasan and Duryodhan are talking and other 98 are only present there.

Today’s song is a qawwali from a Bilingual film – Kalakar-1954.

This was a film made in 2 languages-Hindi and Marathi. The film was made by Datta Dharmadhikari, for his own banner Alhad Chitra, poona. (Alhad was his son’s name).

When talkie films started, it also prompted the Marathi producers to make films in Hindi and Marathi, in order to capture the bigger All India market and to make more money. The very first Marathi Talkie film ‘ Ayodhyecha Raja ‘-1932 was also made in Hindi as ‘ Ayodhya ka Raja ‘at the same time. So, in this game of Bilinguals Marathi films were ahead of Bengali films, whose first Bilingual came out much later.

#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————

Today’s song is from the film ‘Maine Jeenaa Seekh Liyaa-1959’. I came across this movie title while browsing the ‘List-of-songs-moviewise’ on the blog during my regular browsing on the blog.

Music of this movie is composed by the genius music composer Roshan. Only two of its songs are posted on this blog. Out of curiosity, I looked at the remaining songs of this movie. I do not remember to have listened to the songs associated with this title. I was only aware of same movie title from the year 1982. I will take up the songs of this same name of eighties later.

‘Maine Jeenaa Seekh Liyaa-1959’ was a social movie which was directed by Satish Nigam for ‘Filmistan Limited, Bombay’. It was passed by the Censor Board on 10.12.1959. The cast of this movie had Ameeta, Ravindra Kapoor, Durga Khote, P. Kailash, Badri Prasad, Agha, Savita Chatterjee, Lata, Sushil Kumar, Murad, Noorjahan, Narbada Shankar, Tiger (Dog), Munshi Khanjar and others.
