This song was then presented by our respected Sudhir jee and here is what he had mentioned about the word ‘sakhi’ in the title of such movies and how movies with same titles were repeated in the history of Hindi Films.

Today’s song is from a Special Film – Raj Laxmi-1945.
The film was made in Calcutta by M.P. Productions. It was directed by Premendra Mitra and the music was by 2 MDs namely, Robin Chaterjee and Dhiren Mitra. Lyricist was Suresh Chaudhari. The cast of the film included Kanan Devi, Chhabi Biswas, Poornima, Jahar Ganguly, Iftekhar Ahmed, Puri, Talat Mahmood etc etc.
I called it A SPECIAL FILM, because it was Talat Mahmood’s first Hindi film in which he sang a Hindi song. Earlier he had sung a few NFS and a few Bangla songs in Calcutta. The film was made in Calcutta by M.P.Productions, so everyone connected to the film was from the Bangla cine world.

Film “Dil hai ke manta nahi”(1991) was another one of Mahesh Bhat movies, made like a “Chitrahaar”, with ten songs, including one double version song. From what I see in the trivia about this film, it is about adaptations galore. The story is adapted from American film “It happened one night”(1934), which is a tradition of sorts with hindi film right from early 50’s.
A few other Hindi films were also inspired by the same film – “Nadan” (1951), “Chori Chori” (1956), “Nau Do Gyarah” (1957), “Solva Saal”(1958) and “Basant” (1960). Similar plots were used in other Indian films as well – “Chaowa Pawa” (1959) in Bengali, “Chandhrodhayam”(1966) and “Kadhal Rojave” (2000) in Tamil, and “Hudugaata” (2007) in Kannada.

Our dear Satyajit jee has mentioned about the story of the movie in brief while presenting a song from this movie on the blog.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 7
The revival of the series on A. R. Rehman is beginning with this post. The last post in the series was this song.
I apologise for my tardiness in leaving the series like this for 2.5 years. None but myself to be blamed for not taking the targets/tasks seriously. Maybe that is the reason none of my series appear in the list of series posted in the blog.
Koyi nai, I plough on doggedly. Not that it is a hard task to find ARR gems, sometimes forgotten in decades old fog. Take the songs of “Saathiya” for instance.
