Today’s song is from the film Chand ki Duniya-1959.

Man has always been curious about the unknown matters like his future, after death existence or the various planets. Maybe this age-old desire promoted study of the Occult and the various Fortune telling sciences, everywhere in the world in different civilisations over thousands of years. Whether Fortune telling is a science or not is a matter of debate, but the fact remains that almost every person believes, at the back of his mind, that such sciences, in fact, were much developed in the early stages of mankind.

Today’s song is from the film Chhupa Rustom-1973.

This was a Dev Anand film. Once upon a time, when I was very very young, I was very fond of his every film. He looked so cute, handsome and a real film Hero ! As the years rolled by, I saw less and less films. The last film that I enjoyed in which Dev was a hero was, perhaps, Guide -1965. Thereafter Dev Anand’s cute looks started fading, age was showing on his face and probably on his brain too, because he refused to accept that he was no more a cute looking actor. The result was saddening. Further, he was adamant in writing his own film stories, directing them and acting also as a Hero.

Today’s song is from the film Gustakhi Maaf-1969.

Titles of Hindi films generally confuse me, but mostly they disappoint me. A normal cinegoer expects that the title of the film indicates the type of film it is or gives a hint of the film’s story subject or atleast the type/genre of the film. But mostly the titles are misleading. Luckily the hoardings and the posters of the film are more revealing and attractive. They give a closer hint about the film. Here too, what is shown on the hoardings is not seen in the films many times. Why I am saying all this is, because today’s film’s story has absolutely nothing to do with its title, by any angle.

Dua’a (A prayer)
——————————–

O Allah, we seek refuge in Allah from a knowledge that does not benefit
And from a heart that is not humble
And a soul that is satisfied
And from a dua’ that is not heard
O The Most Generous.
O Allah we ask you for beneficial knowledge
And good provision and deeds that are accepted
O The Most Merciful.
O Allah, make the best of our lives towards the end of it,
And the best deeds of our deeds the last ones,
And the best of our days the day we meet You,
While You are satisfied with us
O Lord of the worlds
O Allah we ask you for a pure life
And a good end,
And a return that is neither shameful nor disgraceful
O The Most Generous
Our Lord do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred,
Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us,
Our Lord and do not burden us with which we have no ability to bear,
And Pardon us
And pardon us
And forgive us and have mercy upon us,
You are our Protector
So give us victory over the disbelieving people
Our Lord, indeed we have believed
So forgive our sins
So forgive our sins, and protect us from the punishment of the fire,
O Lord of the worlds
O Allah make us of the patient ones
O Allah make us of the truthful ones
O Allah make us of the obedient ones
O Allah make us of those who spend(for the sake of Allah)
O Allah make us of those who seek forgiveness
Forgive all of our sins
Forgive all of our sins
The small and the big
The first and the last ones
Secret ones and the ones done publicly
Forgive what we have put forth and what we have sent behind
What we did in secret and what we did in public
And what You know better than us
You are the Expediter and the Delayer
There is no God but You
Our Lord, we ask you for faith that does not turn back
And a blessing that never ends
And a blessing that never ends
And a blessing that never ends

And the company of our beloved Muhammad(pbuh)
In the Highest Paradise
In the Highest Paradise
In the Highest Paradise
O the Lord of the worlds
Our Lord,
And our Creator
And our Provider
Indeed every night You free people from the hell fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
And necks of our fathers and mothers from the fire
And necks of our fathers and mothers from the fire
And our wives and our offsprings from the fire
And our wives and our offsprings from the fire
And our brothers and sisters from the fire
And our brothers and sisters from the fire
O Lord of the worlds
O the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful,
O the Most Generous, The Beneficent Bestower of bounties
O The Most Kind, The Most Loving,
O The Most Compassionate, Merciful of the world
O You, whose mercy encompasses everything,
O Allah free our necks from the fire
O Allah free our necks from the fire
And necks of our fathers and mothers from the fire
And our wives and our offsprings from the fire
And our brothers and sisters from the fire
And all our Muslim men and Muslim women
And the believing men and believing women
(free them) By Your Mercy,
O The Most Merciful
Our Lord
Our Lord
And our creator
Your sevants besides us are many!
And we have no Lord but You to Whom we can invoke
And we stand between Your hands
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from hypocrisy
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from hatred
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from envy
O Allah, cleanse our hearts from pride
O Allah, do not leave us to ourselves even for the blink of an eye
Or even less than that
O the Alive, O the Everlasting
O the Alive, O the Everlasting
By your mercy, we seek help
Set right for us all our affairs
And do not abandon us to ourselves for the blinking of an eye(ie a moment)

Today’s song is from the Sci-Fi film Gogola-1966. This is the last and final song of the film here.

According to the Internet information available on http://www.geeksforgeeks.org, as on 6-3-2024, the First 10 biggest Cinema industries in the World are….

Country Speciality/ strong point
Hollywood In USA Blockbusters, Technology, Cultural Influence
Bollywood IN India Colourful Musical Dramas, Global Appeal
Nollywood IN Nigeria Prolific, Cost Effective, Family and Love Films
China Box Office Revenue, Infrastructure, Production Volume
United Kingdom Historical Epics, Strong Storytelling, Global Presence
South Korea High production Value, Innovative Storytelling, Thrillers
France Artistic Films, New Wave, Film Festivals
Japan Variety of Genres, Aesthetic Innovation, Samurai Epics
Italy Art Cinema, Compelling Storytelling, Visual Flair
Russia Epic Narratives, Historicals, Animation

From the above data, one can conclude that it is only the Indian industry which provides only entertainment. It was never famous for Innovative stories, Technical advances or Sci Fi films. The entire focus has been and is even today on giving entertainment. However, as I noticed from the last few years, there have been some subtle changes and a lot of films on National issues, National personalities and films highlighting people who mattered in the development of the country have been made and these have received massive support from the viewers, encouraging more such adventures. In due course it surely will reflect on the Indian film industry in the world’s eyes.
