Today’s song is a very melodious duet from the film Actor-1951.

The film was directed by Ramjibhai Arya. I could not get any information about him except that he directed 6 Hindi films namely, Hind ke lal-40, Manthan-41, Jungle ki pukar-46, Bhedi Dushman-46, Sher E Bengal-47 and his last film as a director, Actor-1951. The musical score for this film was by 2 MDs – Aziz Hindi aka Aziz Khan and Ibrahim aka Master Ibrahim. There are many films having 2 MDs or even 3 MDs and also an unique case like the film Pathan-1962 which had a record 9 MDs ! (This film has nothing to do with Shahrukh khan’s controversial film Pathan released recently). In almost all cases songs are separately credited to each MD, as it is a Team work. In rare cases we find that a few songs are composed jointly by both MDs and credited accordingly.

That moment is here again with us. The moment when we reach a century of songs in the blog and post a special song to mark the occasion.

What is so special, one may ask. We already have 173 such occasions in the blog.

Indeed we had 173 such occasions and this is the 174th century for the blog.

Still, I find this century somewhat different vis a vis other centuries in general, and with other recent centuries in particular.

————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years back viz on 24 January 2013, six songs from six movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
7395 Manmohan mukhda mod gaye Kashinath(1943) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
7396 Chal chameli baag mein kauwwe udaayenge Bulbul(1951) 2 songs covered out of 5 by now

We observe that six songs were covered in the blog ten years ago on this date. The day culminated with a Rafi NFS which was the 7400th song for the blog. The previous century post was published on 31 December 2012. So it is easy to calculate that this century came in 24 days, which was slow by the then standards of the blog. 🙂 Well, well.

Nowadays whenever I browse the blog, specially the list of movies, I also look at the list of yearwise movies already represented on the blog. Music lovers and readers associated with this blog and Hindi Film Music must be aware that there are over 40,000 songs created in the history of HFM between 1931 till 1980. Of course there are many creations lost whose records or audio have been lost with time and there is no possibility of getting them.

Today’s song is from a dubbed Tamil film bearing the name in Hindi as Ek Tha Raja-1951.

It is merely a coincidence that in a span of only few days, I am writing again on a dubbed film from south. That too, featuring 2 of the most influential, ambitious and successful actors who turned into equally successful politicians, formed new political parties and became Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu respectively – N.T.Rama Rao and M.G Ramachandran.

Today’s song is a song in praise of Lord Vishnu from the film Laxmi Narayan-1951.

I have been a fan of Religious and Mythological films right from my childhood and I have seen hundreds of such films. Maybe, since the family atmosphere was conducive to religious matters, I developed this liking. I also used to read a lot of religious stories and books, which was very uncommon for children of my age and many times I was the centre of ridicule and fun for other peers.

Today’s song is from the film Simba-1951.

The film was made by Comedy Pictures. The director was Mohammed Hussain and the music was by D C Dutt. The cast of the film was Baburao, Krishnakumari, Shaikh, Bimla, Indira, habib and others. I have not seen this film but from the photos and the posters of this film it appears to be a kind of a distorted take on a Tarzan-like story.
