Hullo Atuldom

At the outset I would like to wish our in-house Encyclopaedia Shri. Arunkumar Deshmukhji a very Happy Birthday. May he always enlighten us with his knowledge on well-known, known & not-so-well-known artists who have walked the firmament of the Indian film industry. May he always find artists about whom he has not-yet shared any information. May he always be available to us when we pop questions or doubts about anything and everything. All this in the time he finds between his writing for the blog and books. I would also like to wish him lots of time with his family and followers and admirers.

Today’s song is from the revolutionary film- Duniya Na Mane-1937.

The Prabhat Film Company led by V. Shantaram could no longer sit back with their period films and decided to bring about social awareness through films. They took a gigantic leap with their historic production “Duniya Na Mane”. A great social classic, the first one on the empowerment of women, it denounced the dowry menace and the evil custom of old men virtually buying young brides. Eight decades have gone by and I am still waiting to see a film as revolutionary, daring, genuine and sincere in addressing a social issue related to the treatment of women in Indian society. Considered to be one of the best films made in India, it has left a permanent mark on the pages of film history and also on the minds of the audience of my generation. No wonder, highly acclaimed by the media it was then shown at the Venice International Film Festival.

The song being covered in the article is a nice melodious bhajan from the movie ‘Bhakt Dhruv-1957’.

As many as seven Hindi films have been made on the story of Dhruv Kumar or Bhakt Dhruv.
