There have been two Hindi movies with the title “Ustaad Pedro” that were released in 1951 and 1971 respectively.
These two movies had the same title because they were produced by the same man viz Sheikh Mukhtar and he had played the title role in both the movies. One can easily guess that this story line was close to his heart so he decided to repeat the same story line with the very same movie title. Seeing that there was a 20 year gap between the two movies, the actors in the 1971 necessarily had to be different.
“Ustaad Pedro”(1971) was produced by Sheikh Mukhtar and directed by Chaand for Time Life Films, Bombay. The movie had Sheikh Mukhtar, Meena Roy, Jeewan, Padma Khannaa, Asha Nadkarni, Kundan, Raka, Shyam Kumar, Helen, Junior Mehmood, Master Dingu, Sadiq, Hameed, Kaku, Fazlu, Bihari, B A Baghi, Anil Dutt (new face) etc in it. One can notice that the lead actress in this movie was someone called Meena Roy. Few people have any idea who she was. In contrast, the lead actress of “Ustaad Pedro”(1951) was a famous actress of her time viz Begam Para.

Mukesh and his NFS – 06
I was in a bit of dilemma, whether to include this post under Composers or NFS series.
I settled for NFS because Mukesh strangely has no film songs for the composer but has 4 NFS. We are talking about composer Iqbal.
Well, it is easy to jump to conclusion that it is Iqbal Qureshi. However, Iqbal and Iqbal Qureshi are two entirely different composers working almost during the same period.

Hullo Atuldom
Wishing all the followers of the blog a Happy Dassehra. Happy Vijayadashmi. A day which is the culmination of the Sharada Navaratri. Navaratri means nine nights & Vijayadashmi is the 10th day when all the festivities reach a finale.
Much of North India would have had Raam-Leela as part of the festivities & we will witness Ravan-Dahan on the 10th day.
In West India we have the Devi installed in the form of Ambemaa with Aarthis, Garba & Dandiya forming the part of celebrations. Recently, I learnt that the Dandiya-sticks are representative of the weapons that were used by Ambemaa (Durga Maa) in her battle against the Rakshasaa “Mahishasura”.
