(Gulzar Saab’s 90th birthday 18th August’2024)
Today 18th August, 2024 is the ninety-first birthday of Poet, Lyricist, Writer, Director and Producer Gulzar Saab. On this occasion we wish him a very ‘happy birthday’ today and also wish him a healthy and peaceful life ahead.
Gulzar was born as Sampooran Singh Kalra on 18th August’1934 at Dina, District Jhelum, in Punjab which is now in Pakistan. Their family shifted to Delhi (Old Delhi) after partition. Gulzar Saab had come a long way since then as younger boy and as a growing youth who had been witnessed to the most ‘bloodied’ part of the history of India i.e. partition of the undivided India into two parts India and Pakistan.

Today’s song is a Debut song for its singer- Music Director, S. Purushottam, who sang his only song in a Hindi film ever. The film was Apna Desh-1949.
Normally, the Indian film audience likes to see films which uphold the age old Indian values like, ” Truth prevails” or ” Good wins over evil ” or ” Real Love triumphs ” and such other things. Over a period, certain beliefs had been built over matters like entertainment. When only the stage dramas were available as the source of entertainment, people expected that a Joker (Vidushak) is a necessity in every drama. Even the oldest Sanskrit drama like ” Mrichhkatik” used to have a Vidushak (Joker) in it. In social dramas there always would be a funny character producing laugh and humour. Similarly, when Talkie films started, presence of songs was taken for granted and songs were very much a part of the film in any language, sometimes even as a background song.

Today’s song is from a ‘Milestone’ film Chandralekha-1948.
I call it a Milestone Film, because it was the pioneer film that started the south made dubbed, remade and independent Hindi films for the All India Hindi audience. What’s more, it happened at a time when the flow of such Hindi films made in the East- Calcutta- had diminished and after some time totally gave up the space to south made films.

78th Independence day – 15th August, 2024
The nation grows older by one more year on 15th August. And hopefully wiser too. Among the nations formed in 20th century, post world wars scenario, we have indeed come a long way, and hopefully shall grow, by leaps and bounds.
The cultural conflux and amalgamation, is what makes this country what it is, that the world looks up to us for the colourful heritiage, for the values of humanity, for intellectual and literary wealth.

Today’s song is from the film Mangala-1950. It was yet another remake of a Hit Tamil film, from Gemini Pictures, Madras. The fever of king size success provided by the giant success of film Chandralekha-1948 continued to give Vasan similar positive returns. After Chandralekha-1948, he had made one more remake- Nishan-1949 from his Hit Tamil film Apoorva Sagodharargal-1949, in Hindi, taking Bhanumathi and Ranjan as the lead pair.

Another Summer Olympics comes along. Once again, Indians have their hopes raised.
And once again, most of these are dashed.
Indians take out their frustration on a few athletes/players — and get back to their normal lives in a few days. Every four years – rinse, repeat.
I’ve been seeing this routine since 1976.
