Today’s song is from a Costume film (HFGK mentions it as a ‘social’ film) – Awara Shehzadi-1956.
There are a total of 14 film titles having Awara in it. Funnily, the original “Awara Shehzada”was a film of 1933. It took 23 years to bring about a female version of the Title with Awara Shehzadi in 1956 ! Incidentally, the film ‘Awara Shehzada’-33 was the First Talkie film, having a Double Role. Shahu Modak had done the roles of the Prince ( Rajkumar) and the Pauper ( Bholaram) in this film. It was directed by Master Vithal, the First Hero of First Talike of India, “Aalam Ara “-1931. Master Vithal was also the first male actor to feature in the Silent Films’ first double role in the film ” Prisoner of Love “- 1927 (aka Raj Tarang) made by Sharda Films.

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-52)
—————————–
Today we remember Ramchandra Narayandut Dwivedi whom we fondly admire and respect as Kavi Pradeep or ‘Rashtra Kavi Pradeep’ on his 28th Remembrance Day. He was born on 6th February, 1915 and he passed away on 11th December, 1998 leaving behind a great body of work, including poetry and songs in his voice. Many of the songs penned by him and sung by him have now become immortal heritage of our country. Today we pay our tributes to Kavi Pradeep on his Remembrance Day.On this occasion I am presenting a song written by him for the movie ‘Dashehraa-1956’.

In this post I am again sharing a Qawwalee song from the golden period of Hindi Film Music i.e. the decade of 1951-1960. I had come across this song around a month back and later it got delayed for one reason or other. This Qawwaalee song is sung by the famous Qawwaal duo Shankar-Shambhu. It gives me immense pleasure to present this song for the listening pleasure of readers of this blog.
This song is from the 1956 movie ‘Fighting Queen’. It was produced and directed by Nari Ghadiyali for N.K.G. Productions, Bombay. As is clear from the title of this movie it was a stunt movie. It was passed by the Censor Board on 04.08.1956.
The cast of this movie had Nadiya, John Cavas, Pramila, Shaikh, Habib, Shamim Chaudhary, Noorjahan, Anjum, Hanuman, Mustafa, Azeem, Ahmed, S. Jahangir, and Shankar-Shambhu Qawwaal.

Today’s song is from a C grade Costume film ‘ Taj aur Talwar’-1956.
1956 was the Silver Jubilee year of Indian Talkie Films. This year, the most successful films were entertainers. There were of course some films carrying social messages. One of them was ‘Jaagte Raho’ (‘Ek Din Ratre’ in Bangla), which tried to bring out the upper middle class hypocrisy in a metro city like Bombay. Initially, the film did not make any ripples, but after it won International awards, it became very popular. (People of other nations have to tell us that our film is good !). A social message, excellent music and solid story – the hallmarks of an RK film were all there in it.
Then, the film ‘Ek Hi Raasta’ tackled the issue of widow re-marriage and acceptance of a new father by the child. Comedy entertainer ‘Nai Dilli’ emphasized the need for inter language marriages in India. Satyajit Ray’s ‘Aparajita’- the sequel to ‘Pather Panchali’ (1955), hit the screens in India after winning accolades internationally.
