Hullo Atuldom

Beginning this post with a few thoughts that have been running through my head. What is the time or age to define something as old?

I have been observing people around me, for the last few years of my better half’s tenure, at his last workplace. I am saying “last workplace” as he has decided to call it a day; inspite of loving what he has achieved over the last 45 years. People consider him young enough to open up about their joys & sorrows. His colleagues cannot believe or don’t want him to hang his boots yet. Of course, I am very proud of all that his co-workers (he doesn’t call them subordinates) have to say about him.

Today’s song is from the Mythological film – Mohini-1957.

During the decade of the 1950s, maximum religious, Bhakti pradhan and Mythological films were made. Among them, most had roots in some or the other Puranas, Ramayan or mahabharat, but there were also films having the tag of ‘ Mythological’ film, which had absolutely no connection whatsoever, known or unknown, to any of the mythological stories. I have read all 18 Puranas, Ramayan and Mahabharat. I do not claim to know each and everything from there, but even in the film booklet no mention is made of the source of the story. Film Mohini is one such film. With 100s of Gods and 1000s of stories, it is easy to make up a story resembling any genuine story. Looks like that, like Arabian Night stories, here too adulteration has entered ! A simple trick of adding a lot of magic scenes can enable a story to become a Mythological or Arabian Night story !

Today’s song is from the ‘ imaginary ‘ film, which was a Costume C grade film – Son of Alibaba-1955.

So, here we are again talking about a Costume C grade film which has an ‘imaginary’ category in the HFGK. I selected this film song because among such other films, this film had much better and good songs, composed by Sardul Kwatra, the Music Director.

After the box office success of the Tamil film, ‘Thevar Magan’ (1992), written and produced by Kamal Hasan with Sivaji Ganesan, Kamal Hasan, Revathi, Gautami and Nasser in the main roles, Kamal Hasan decided its remake in Hindi with himself in the lead role and Dilip Kumar in Sivaji Ganesan’s role. It was his intense desire to work with Dilip Kumar. However, Dilip Kumar declined to work in the film as he had almost retired from the films. So, Kamal Hasan kept the Hindi remake of the film in the backburner until he sold the film’s rights to his friend, Priyadarshan for its remake in Hindi as ‘Viraasat’ (1997).(Source: Hindustan Times, May 29, 2022).

Today’s song is a duet from the film Shrikrishna Bhakti-1955.

This was a Mythological film (पौराणिक ), directed by the “Trick Magician” – Babubhai Mistri. The music director was the Melody Maker – Chitragupta. The cast of the film was Manmohan Krishna, Lalita Pawar, Mahipal, Bipin Gupta, B.M.Vyas, Dalpat and many others. A special feature of this film was that there were as many as 7 “Guest Appearance ” artistes – clearly a record number for any film till then. I doubt very much if any other film has broken this record. Any reader, who knows about more than 7 Guest artistes in a film, mentioned in the HFGK, so far, may please give the information in the Comments column. The Guest artistes in this film were….Krishna Kumari, Anwar Hussain, Maruti, Shaikh, Indira bansal, Bagala and Chitalkar (surprised with this name !).

In Mumbai, the film was released in two theatres only and that too the single show. Because of this, the film went largely unnoticed. After a month or so, the film was released on the OTT platforms. I watched the film on the OTT platform.

(Martyr’s day 2024)

Today 30th January is the ‘martyr’s day’ where we pay our tributes to all the known and unknown martyrs of this great country. It is well known fact that during freedom struggle of India i.e. Bharat, many people fought against the British Empire and laid down their lives to see their fellow countrymen free. For years together we have grown-up reading stories of our freedom struggle and the great revolutionaries who sacrificed their lives on the way of their fight for freedom of this country.
