Today’s song is from the film Divorce-1938.

Change is everywhere. Individual persons, family, society, a nation and the entire world faces changes. The change does not come suddenly. It does give some indications. Those who decipher and understand its signals, they are prepared and do not get shocked. Those who do not understand, they suffer and are not prepared for the effects of change. Just because you are good at something, sometimes, which people appreciated, does not mean that if you do not adapt to the changes in peoples’ tastes, they will continue appreciation forever. Remember, when choices are available, the world tends to adopt changes.

Today’s song is from a very old-as many as 87 years- film Brahmachari-1938.

When Talkie films started, all the filmmakers looked for ways to make their films cater to a wider area and bring a lot of profits. One sure way was to tap the All India market, which would fulfil their desires. Initially the film productions were in very limited cities – Bombay, Kolhapur, Lahore, Calcutta and Madras. For going to All India, the filmmakers in Bombay, Lahore and Kolhapur had no problems, but for Calcutta and Madras, language was an obstacle. Who would see Bengali and Tamil/Telugu films in North and East India ?

Today’s song is from the first decade of the Talkie i.e. the 1930’s. The film is Mera Ladka-1938. Made by Prabhat Film company, Poona, it was directed by a person who wrote his name in the most unconventional way – K.Narayan Kale. His actual name was Keshav Narayan Kale. Instead of the usual custom like Keshav N. Kale, he hid his own name and gave prominence to his father’s name ! This radical journalist’s life was full of ” in and out”of the film industry !

Today’s song is from the film Bhabhi-1938.

When the film ‘Bhabhi’ is mentioned, we first remember the 1957 AVM film Bhabhi, which had very good songs like ” Chal ud jaa re panchhi” in 3 parts or “Chali chali re patang meri chali” etc. This was a very successful and a popular film – a truly ‘Family Picture’, in those days. There were 3 movies with the same title ‘Bhabhi’ released in 1938, 1957 and 1991.
