Today’s song is from the Costume film Aan Baan-1956.

I remember, a few years ago, our Atul ji had said ” Indian people love discussing on 3 topics. Politics, Cricket and Movies. ” It is true. In any group, the general discussion is about one of these topics. Those interested in politics are usually staunch supporters of some party and the discussions are not only vehement, but sometimes so forceful that even long term relations can be at stake.

Today’s song is the last and final song of the film Hatimtai-1956.

I have a very funny memory about this film’s name, Hatim Tai. During my school days, when I first got the book “Stories of Hatim Tai”, from my school Library for reading, I thought these were the stories of the elder sister of someone called Hatim. I thought so because in marathi, ” TAI” means ‘Didi’ or elder sister. However, once i started readingthe book, I realised that I was wrong and Hatimtai was the name of the Hero of the stories. For many years thereafter, I kept on wondering about this misleading name. Finally, in another book I got the answer to my curiosity.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Sajni-1956. This song is of some significance. It is a song sung by a pair of Husband-wife. Of course this is not unique. Earlier also there were a few such songs by Husband-wife pairs. What is significant is that this was their last duet in a film. The pair was Sudhir Phadke and Lalita Deulkar Phadke. What’s more, with this song Lalita ended her film singing career also !

Today’s song is a forgotten good song from the film Ghulam Begum Badshah-1956.

Those who were young in the decade of the 50’s and 60’s, had grown up reading stories which started with “Once upon a time….”. These imaginary stories told the adventures, wars, fights, Love stories etc. of kings and rebels. Filmmakers were intelligent enough to make up and use such stories to entertain their audience. These stories had ample scope for big, impressive sets, colourful and royal costumes, fights, beautiful dancers, magicians, plotting evil prime ministers (vaziers) and the rebels, who finally won the kingdom and the love of the beautiful princess !
