It was a social film made by the legendary Wadia Movietone. It was directed by the elder of the two brothers- JBH.Wadia. The MD was Hemant Kumar and the songs were written by Rajendra Krishna. The cast of the film was Sunil Dutt, Shyama, Daisy Irani, Kumkum, Agha, BM Vyas, Damuanna Malavankar, Madhu Apte, Dalpat, Neelambai and many others. There are two actors from Marathi cinema. Let us know more about them as not much is known about them in the Hindi cinema world.

Today’s song is a special song from the film ‘Captain India’ (1960).

Our regular readers may recall that just a few days ago, within this month, 2 songs having the same mukhda with different lyrics were posted on this Blog. The mukhda was “Nacho, Nacho, Nacho”. The first song to appear was from the dubbed film – ‘RRR’ (2022), which was posted and discussed superbly by our friend Gajendra Khanna ji on 3-4-2023. The second song with the same mukhda was from the film ‘Gogola’ (1966) and was posted and discussed by me on 17-4-2023.

Today’s song is from a film called Gun Fight aka Bandookbaaz-1960. The film makes a Debut on this Blog.

Funniest part is that the HFGK describes it as a ” Costume film”. Generally, a Costume film is a film in which you see a King, Queen, Vazier or some Historical figures wearing odd, shining and elaborate dresses and who live in big palaces with hundreds of servants who come running after a clap ( a call bell provided to all by God !) of hands. This film is nothing of this sort. All the characters in this film wear normal clothes, live in ordinary houses and lead routine lives. I have seen this film, in the times when such films were in the dying stages. The cast of the film consists of names usually found in a C grade stunt film… Niloufer, Anjum, Moti (Dog), Baagla, Funny Walker, Maqbool, Bilali, Premi, Mohd. Agha, Shaukat, Sharan Asi, Moosa, Mohd. Sandow etc. etc. But it was not a stunt film either.

Today 20th April 2023 is the fifty third ‘remembrance anniversary’ of the legendary lyricist Shakeel Badayuni.

He was born on 3rd August 1916 and he passed away on 20th April 1970.

As a tribute to him, today I am presenting a song penned by him from an ‘un-released’ movie ‘Jitni Door Utne Paas-1960’.

On this date ten years ago (3 April 2013), six songs from six different movies, plus one non movie song, were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

7810 Rut hai suhaani Thhes (1949) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now

#Debutant movie-Zaalim Teraa Jawaab Nahin-1960 #
——————————————————————

In this post we launch a movie from the year ‘1960’ on the blog. This movie is titled as ‘Zaalim Teraa Jawaab Nahin’.

This movie seems to be an obscure movie of its time and also I guess that the songs of this movie were not available on internet earlier. The couple of songs from this movie I came across have been uploaded only recently. I would like to thank the up-loader for providing the songs of this movie on ‘YouTube’.

This new year 2023 has seen lots and lots of debutant movies being introduced to the blog. As many as seven movies made their debuts in the blog in this new year. One of the movies had just one song in it. So its debut coincided with its getting YIPPEED as well. We did not have a “proper” YIPpying of the movie so far.
