The name of the production banner for this movie is mentioned as ‘D.M.G. Films’. The name of the director of this movie is not mentioned and similarly no information is available about the cast of this movie.

Regulars who notice the day and post number of our posts may have noticed that today is day number 5901 for the blog. It means yesterday the blog completed 5900 day of its existence.

Regulars who noticed yesterday’s day number may have also noticed that yesterday’s post number was 18497. In the past, when I pursued “records” more keenly, I would have posted the century post 18500 on the blog day 5900. But with time, you stop giving too much importance to these landmarks.

Today’s song is a Debut song for its singer- Music Director, S. Purushottam, who sang his only song in a Hindi film ever. The film was Apna Desh-1949.

Normally, the Indian film audience likes to see films which uphold the age old Indian values like, ” Truth prevails” or ” Good wins over evil ” or ” Real Love triumphs ” and such other things. Over a period, certain beliefs had been built over matters like entertainment. When only the stage dramas were available as the source of entertainment, people expected that a Joker (Vidushak) is a necessity in every drama. Even the oldest Sanskrit drama like ” Mrichhkatik” used to have a Vidushak (Joker) in it. In social dramas there always would be a funny character producing laugh and humour. Similarly, when Talkie films started, presence of songs was taken for granted and songs were very much a part of the film in any language, sometimes even as a background song.

Saga Of Sleepless Nights – 10
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

raat bhar muaa sone naa de. . .

This snippet line is from a song that has not made it on the blog as yet. The film is ‘Vidhaata’ from 1982. This snippet line is from the naughty song “Saat Saheliaan Khadi Khadi, Fariyaad Sunaayen Ghadi Ghadi” (YT link). The song is kind of an item song that is performed on screen by a bearded and plump Shammi Kapoor lip syncing the voice of Kishore Kumar, with a harmonium in front of him, as he leads a local get together into a sort of celebration song. I am sure most readers will be familiar with this song. The lyrics are kind of raunchy, penned by Anand Bakshi. The song tells of the plight of seven friends whose husbands are in different professions. Each ‘saheli‘ tells of her woes as to how her husband does not let her sleep all night.

Rewind back 33 years earlier, to 1949. Another song that tells a similar story – the lady has the same complain, that her companion did not let her sleep all night. That the entire night was spent tossing and turning, and the night passed in this uljhan only.

Today’s song is from a Romantic cum Mystery film – Apradhi-1949.

Although HFGK labels it as a ‘Social’ film, I found that this film is half-way through a Romantic film and the second half is full of Mystery, hence I called it a Romantic cum Mystery film.

Today’s song is from a semi Mythological film, Maya Bazar-1949.

I said ” Semi Mythological” film and there is a reason for it. Both Ramayan and Mahabharat are more than 5000 year old. Since generations,Indians have been infatuated with the various stories from these sacred books. Actually, Mahabharat is 4 times bigger than Ramayan. Ramayan contains stories of Loyalty, Obedience, righteous behaviour. Ideal Human Qualities, war against evil, Ideal democracy and good Just Governance. In short-everything that is ideal and good.
