“Kohra”(1964) was directed by Biren Nag. This movie was a Hindi adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier’s “Rebecca”(1938), or more accurately it was an Hindi adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rebecca”(1940) based on the novel of Daphne Du Maurier.

Missing Films of 1960s – 9

The next film from 1962 that we introduce today is ‘Kaala Chashma’.  Oh well, with a name like this, frankly, if I had been in a movie going age in that era, even I would had steered clear of this one.  Not fair, I know, but the acumen to make such educated decisions is coming on now, after years of listening to Hindi film music, and getting a penchant for searching for lost songs.  At any other time in the past, I would have not paid any attention to film.  Especially after knowing that the lead actors are Manju and Amarnath. Rather the response would have been – Manju and Amarnath, who??

Fabulous Foot Tappers – 6
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Goodness, more than 5 months since the last post in this series.  Starting in April, it was keeping a slow but regular pace till July, and then. . .

Anyways, back to one of my favorite genres – songs with a wonderful melody and a foot tapping beat that simply makes them irresistible hummers. One listens, and the mind simply wants to continue humming them, over and over again.  There are many such songs, and practically all of them are popular and well known. The thing that I am trying with this series is to locate the unfamiliar and less heard gems of this category, which have remained anonymous, mostly for the reason that they are from films that either did not get released, or films that remained obscure and unheard of themselves.

Visiting HFGK (Vol-V -1971-1980) that I have, glancing through its pages, and reading and concentrating on few, then searching the songs’ links, noting lyrics, and mailing it to our beloved Atul ji and Sudhir ji is mostly my daily routine whenever I am at my base station (now Nagpur).

“Kahin Aur Chal”(1968) was one movie which few people have seen because this movie was withdrawn after one show in one movie hall by its maker. That is how it was Tolaram Jalani, the maker of this movie, who was not interested in releasing the movie and was more interested in balancing his books for income tax purposes by showing this movie as a loss making venture for him.

Missing Films of 1960s – 8
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –

I am really incensed. Generally that does not happen easily, but today it has. Going thru the list of un-represented films from 1960s, the next target film for me was ‘Hawa Mahal’. I already looked for the 78 rpm records of this film, and have drawn a blank. From more than one source, I was informed that no records were manufactured for this film. Disappointing as this information was in itself, I was concerned, but not too much. Because I knew that I have this film with me on disk. So when the time came to prepare a post for the film ‘Hawa Mahal’, I took out video file of the film, with the intent of listening to the songs and to prepare a upload version of one of them.

Missing Films of 1960s – 7
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –

As we are moving into the 1960s, exploring for the films that are yet to be showcased on our blog, I have already introduced 4 films from 1961 and then I had moved into 1962, adding 2 films for that year.  But with today’s post, I revert back to 1961. Clearly, there is one more film from 1961 that I missed. The film is ‘Zamaana Badal Gaya’. Its songs are available, and had not yet been introduced here.  An oversight on my part.

Sureeli Suman – 4
————————–
1961 mythological Black and White film ‘Jai Bhawani’ was directed by Dhirubhai Desai, under ‘Prabha Pictures’ banners. The star-cast included Jayashri Gadkar, Manhar Desai, Lata Sinha, Sapru, Veena, Niranjan Sharma, Ram Mohan, Master Dabbar etc. HFGK is silent about the lyricists, but the other source on internet gives that credit to ‘Gopal Singh Nepali’ (1926-1963). The music is credited to S Mohinder. Three out of eight songs are already discussed on this Blog and this one, a solo by Suman Kalyanpur, will be the fourth one.

So the experience repeats itself yet once again. Search and locate, and listen, as many songs as you may.  There still will be many more songs that will surprise you. This song is coming based on a request from a far away land. A friend and visitor on the blog from West Indies, the name of the gentleman is Ramdass, has requested to locate this song, and to post it.
