Today’s song is from the film Roti-1942.

The early 40’s were when the Socialistic pattern of the Communist philosophy was spreading fast all over the world. Nehru was fully sold to the Socialistic pattern of Governance and he enthusiastically used to propagate it in his speeches. The film industry was in awe with the impression of Nehru and a few major filmmakers openly echoed his thinking. producers like Mehboob Khan, Kardar, Bimal Roy and some Bangla filmmakers were influenced by nehruvian philosophy.

Thus Mehboob khan ensured that most of his films reflected this anti capitalistic philosophy in some way or the others. That is how he made films like Roti, Mother India, Son of India etc. Bimal Roy too followed in his own way by making films like Naya Daur, and Dharmputra etc.

Hullo Atuldom

Wishing our guiding force; ex-Ranchiwala now-Bhopali Gaanewala, usually addressed as Atulji by the followers of ASAD (acronym for atulsongaday) A Very Happy Birthday. I thank him (as always) for providing us this platform where “birds of a feather flock together”. What started as a place for one post (not necessarily one song though, as some posts contain all versions of a song) a day had become a multi-post per day blog after the initial few months of its journey. May today and all of your days be creative and innovative.

The ‘parallel cinema’ refers to films which have been made as the alternative to the mainstream commercial films. Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil are regarded as the ‘parallel cinema stars’ because they mostly worked in woman-centric parallel films and most of their such films like ‘Ankur’ (1974), ‘Nishant’ (1975), ‘Manthan’ (1976), ‘Bhumika’ (1977), ’Arth’ (1982) etc were box office success. Shabana Azmi, with the success of her very first parallel film, started acting in the mainstream commercial films with ‘Fakira’ (1976) in a lead role. Smita Patil on the other hand kept herself aloof from mainstream commercial films until 1981. What led her to sign mainstream commercial films from 1981 onwards?
