Today’s song is from the stunt film ‘Garma Garam’ (1957).

In Hindi films, many times the titles are given to the films just to attract the audience. Such films have absolutely no relevance to the core-story of the film. Sometimes there is an excess of certain emotions in the films. I had seen one Hindi film in which, by the end of the film all the major characters were shown as dead- including the lead pair. No wonder, the audience must have run away lest they would be the next in line !

Today’s song is from a Muslim Social film ‘Paak Daman’ (1957).

Why I am specifying Muslim social is because it was a film depicting the Muslim social culture in India. India is a country where there are many religions living together for hundreds of years. The major 8 religions in India are Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Judaism and Zoroastrianism (Parsee). There are hundreds of smaller religions thriving in India , apart from these.

Today’s song is from the costume film ‘Neelofar’ (1957).

Thousands of films are made as talkie films after 1931 and the tradition has been that just before its release and after it was censored, a booklet of 4-5 pages giving information about the film was published. Interested persons would buy them at throw away price of few Annas to get an idea and details about the said film at a glance. Footpath sellers outside the theaters were seen in earlier days. Later on such booklets of old films became difficult to procure and collectors of such items paid heavy prices for them.

Today’s song is a song sung by Madhubala Jhaveri, for the film Jeevan Sathi-1957.

This film had a criss-cross and a jumble of lovers. The imagination of the story writer was stretched to the maximum to get the criss-crossed loving pairs together by the end of the film. It was a story unique by itself and I guess such a thing would never happen in real life. The film was produced by Dhanwant Shah under his own banner- D.S.Films, Bombay. It was directed by R.S.Tara and the music was by Bulo C Rani with the assistant C.Arjun- a composer in the making.

Today’s song is from the Mythological film – Mohini-1957.

During the decade of the 1950s, maximum religious, Bhakti pradhan and Mythological films were made. Among them, most had roots in some or the other Puranas, Ramayan or mahabharat, but there were also films having the tag of ‘ Mythological’ film, which had absolutely no connection whatsoever, known or unknown, to any of the mythological stories. I have read all 18 Puranas, Ramayan and Mahabharat. I do not claim to know each and everything from there, but even in the film booklet no mention is made of the source of the story. Film Mohini is one such film. With 100s of Gods and 1000s of stories, it is easy to make up a story resembling any genuine story. Looks like that, like Arabian Night stories, here too adulteration has entered ! A simple trick of adding a lot of magic scenes can enable a story to become a Mythological or Arabian Night story !

Today’s song is from a ‘social’ film called ‘Captain Kishore’ (1957).

I was wondering what was the basis of calling this film a ‘social’ film, because it was clearly a stunt/costume film having the usual King- Queen-Evil Vazir/Evil Senapati story. I have seen this film and also give its story for you today. The Wadia Movietone was famous for making action/stunt/costume films, since the early 30’s decade The owners of Wadia split in 1942 on the issue of whether to continue making the action/stunt films. The younger brother Homi Wadia was in favour of making stunt films, while the elder brother JBH Wadia wanted to make social films, because he was seeing impending sunset on stunt films in the near future, and hence wanted to make social films on priority to survive.

Today’s song is a lovely qawwali from the film Paak Daman-1957. The story of this film seems to be very popular and well known, because I find that several films were made on this one story and with the same title. The first film came in 1931 as Paak Daman. Then came Paak Daman Raqasa-1932, Paak Daman-1940 and Paak Daman-1957. Meanwhile a Pakistani film Paak Daman was also made in 1969.
