‘Chandamama’ was a children’s monthly magazine known for its illustrations, long running mythological and magical stories. I was a huge fan of it & used to be gifted with a copy of it, as reward, for good showing in curricular & co-curricular activities. I had a collection of those books along with a few editions of Champak, Phantom, Mandrake, Tarzan & Amar Chitra Katha, like most children of those times.

“Nainaa”(1973) was planned several years ago with Rajshree in the lead role. But then Rajshree decided to settle down in USA and left Bollywood, leaving her producers in lurch, without even bothering to give them any notice and without returning the signing amount to the producers.

Today’s song is from the film Talwar ka Dhani-1956.

TALWAR KA DHANI-1956 was a costume drama and also a stunt film.When I first went to see this film in its second run in 1960 or so, I thought that this must be based on the story of “King Arthur and his sword”, but I was mistaken. Probably the producers had not even heard who this Arthur was, and they based their story on Gujarat background. Appropriately, the hero was also Manhar Desai (real name Malcom Alfredo Desai, a Goan, from 3-8-17 to25-2-92), who was a Popular Hero in Gujarati and Mythological films those days.

Hullo Atuldom

Remembering Nirmala Nagpal today on her birth anniversary. She was born in Mumbai (Bombay back then) on 22nd November 1948. That gives us an idea that she must have been hardly 9 or 10 years of age when she danced in the chorus of the famous club-scene songs of “Howrah Bridge” (1958). She was just 3 years when she appeared in some films as baby Shyama & was a background (chorus) dancer in the late 1950s. She was all of 13 (not unusual for those times, I think) when she married the much-married & father of four -B. Sohanlal- a popular choreographer of that period. The couple separated in a few years but not before she had borne three children. Later, she married a businessman Sardar Roshan Khan, adopted Islam & changed her name to Saroj Khan – a name that gave her work & fame and was known by till she passed away on 3rd July 2020; due to cardiac arrest.

Mukesh and his Actors – 03
———————————————

It was 1967, nearly 3 decades since Mukesh started singing in HFM. Yet, his mettle was again put to test. The film was Milan (1967) for which the production house of L. V. Prasad, decided to rope in emerging composer duo Laxmikant Pyarelal (LP). This was in spite of their successful association with Shankar Jaikishan for Chhoti Bahen (1959), Sasural (1961), Hamrahi (1963), Beti Bete (1964) etc.

Donon ke dil hain majboor ‘finance’ se … film hi release naa ho to ham kya karein. 😊

Today’s song is a lovely duet song penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri. But the irony of this song is that it never came on the screen despite being recorded (and shot*) for not one but two different movies. However, in its second edition the male singer was different and credit for music direction was also given to only one of the composers and not to the ‘duo’ of composers as was the case in the older movie.
