A very Happy 2025 to Atuldom

Normally, at the turn of the calendar, i.e. beginning of the New Year, people decide on the activities that they will undertake from Day 1 of the new year. These are generally categorised as New Year resolutions. These resolutions could be of giving up a bad-habit like smoking, flying off-the handle at slightest provocation, or looking after their health by taking up exercising or walks etc. People manage to be true to their resolutions for a few days, weeks or at the most a month. Very few manage to keep up the promise they have made to themselves for longer periods. As for myself, I have never made promises or resolutions so that I don’t feel let down (by myself).
But, there is always a thought at the back of my head that I should be more aggressive and send more posts to Atulji. I managed it to an extent in 2023 but the pace fell in 2024. I am not going to give reasons for my slackness, and most of my reasons are genuine (in my own thoughts).

In my last article, I discussed the film, ‘Naache Naagin Baaje Been’ (1969) which was written and produced by Devi Sharma (19/10/2021 – 30/03/2010). I got acquainted with his name when I had watched his films, ‘Ganga Ki Laharen’ (1964) and ‘Gunaahon Kaa Devta’ (1967)” in my younger days. Meerut born Devi Sharma was a writer and got attracted to the glamour world of Hindi films. He shifted to Mumbai and debuted as a co-producer with Wasti for ‘Basre Ki Hoor (1956). His first independent film as a producer and writer under his banner, Janta Chitra was ‘Taxi Stand’ (1958). The next as a producer-writer was ‘Kaali Topi Laal Roomaal’ (1959).

Today’s song is a Parody song from a C grade Stunt film Diamond Queen-1940.

From the time the Silent films started, it was the time to make Stunt and Costume films. The entire focus of these films was on attracting the workers, daily earners, the poor and the lower class of the society, who looked for entertainment which they could afford. C grade films were the cheapest to make. After the Talkie films started,the Silent films vanished forever slowly. It took about 3 years after the Talkie films started in 1931 to stop making Silent films. The last Silent film was ” Shareef Badmash” made by Shri Ganesh Films, Bombay (Censor Certificate -B-13975 dt 2-11-1934).

Today’s song is from a very popular but very old -86 year old, to be exact – film Kangan-1939.

Kangan-1939 was a film noteworthy for many reasons. Firstly, it was the beginning of 3 most successful films of Leela Chitnis and Ashok Kumar in those times. The other two films were Bandhan and Jhoola. Historically, this pair was one of the most successful and popular romantic pairs in the Hindi cinema history.

Secondly, this was the first film for Leela Chitnis with Bombay Talkies. Thirdly, this was the film, during the shooting of which, its director and cinematographer along with other German technicians were arrested by the British Government and sent to a Concentration Camp near Igatpuri (between Bombay and Nashik).

Today’s song is from a social film-Us Paar-1944.

The film was made under the banner of Sun Art Pictures. It was directed by Chiman Lal Luhar and the music was given by Firoz Nizami, B.A.

Those days, film industry had very few educated persons and those who were graduates, proudly flaunted their degrees after their names. Of course not everyone did that. The director Chiman Lal Luhar was also a Science graduate, but he never put B.Sc. after his name. Not that it added to their popularity or it was in any way helpful in improving their performance but it was a tool to make them more respected in the crowd of film fraternity.

#the Decade of 2001-2010 #

Regulars on this blog are familiar about the common interests of the team of this blog. First, it is songs and movies of course, one is cricket and the other most important is Railway or train or Indian Railways specifically. Everybody has a big admiration for the railway services and the efforts they put day in – day out to keep this country ‘moving’. Train travel is the safest and cheap (too) journey for the common citizens of this country as it has been for the last many many years. Then there is the ‘nostalgia’ people have for their life’s years associated of travelling to various places by train. People migrating to far away places from their hometown or staying far from their families for earnings always have many memories associated with train travel of reaching homes when everybody is waiting for them. When one travels in train he gets to have interaction with people from different parts of the country and some of them become friends during the travel and thus one gets to about diverse cultures too. The many journeys also teach one a lot and also tell us about the uncertainties in life and how life has been to the so many others than one self. The ‘Indian Railways’ plays a big role in ‘national –integration’ and it is also source of inspiration for many people like me.
