“Ghar” (1978) was based on a sensational news published in 1970s which made headlines all over India and even the PM of the country took note of it. But a few years later, the news reporter of this news item revealed that the headline was a figment of his imagination and nothing like this had happened.

“Aakraman” (1975) was a title that came as a surprise to me. Those were the days when Hindi movies did not have titles in Textbook Hindi. “Aakraman” is Hindi/ Sanskrit for “Attack”. The tendency for movie makers those days was the use a word like “Hamla” instead of “Aakraman”, even though it was a word of normal usage in Hindi textbooks. That way one needs to give some credit to the makers of this movie that he used a Hindi title for a Hindi movie.

This article is written by Pamir Harvey, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.

Today is Raja Swaminathan’s birthday! Raja is, as many of you must already be knowing, a regular contributor of posts here at this blog. Over the years I have learnt to admire his knowledge not only of Hindi songs, but also his knowledge in many fields particularly cricket. Raja is very lucid in his words and it is always a pleasure to read his passionate essays on his blog. His precise nature and ability to understand situations and context also makes him valuable as translator for the Edu productions in subtitling old films. More than all this I value Raja as a friend with whom I can do pagalpanthi! Happy Birthday Raja!
