HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS FOR CROSSING THE MARK OF 16 MILLION VISITORS !

Today’s song is from a Costume film ” Raj Mukut” (1950).

The decade of the 1950 was the one in which possibly the highest number of films having “King and Queen” stories were made . A cursory look at the Film Title Index shows a total of 77 such film titles, starting with the letters “Raj…”. Out of these, 17 films are from the 50’s. There must be more films having the trio of ” King,Queen and the Vazir”, but starting with other words like Raami Dhoban or films starting with Samrat or words connected with kingdoms etc. Finally I gave up my ‘Research’ !

Non-Film Songs of Mukesh – 03

Today, 22 July 2023 marks the birth centenary day of Mukesh Chand Mathur who was born in Delhi a hundred years ago.

His wiki page gives a fair information of his life and 36 years of film career which as we are all aware is mainly as a playback singer. In the initial part of his career he also acted, produced, and composed. However, his role as a playback singer put him high up on a pedestal as one of the greatest singers of all times. A singer whose very name brings to fond memories some of the exceptional songs that he rendered. A voice which touched the inner chords of human soul. A voice which we can easily associate and link to our daily lives. For sincerity, dedication and total submission to singing is what his voice is all about. Almost every song of his is a bhajan in my view as the voice was beyond the materialistic world and has one or the other facet of life covered. My song for this special post which we shall come up a bit later is a testimony to this view.

Today’s song is from the film Biwi (1950).

In the HFGK the title of this film is spelt as BEEWEE, whereas elsewhere on YouTube and the entire internet sites which I saw, the spelling is BIWI. A simple word like BIWI became BEEWEE for reasons known only to the makers of this film.

Today’s song is from the film Khamosh Sipahi-(1950).

The film was made by Maansarovar Pictures, Bombay, owned by Dinanath Madhok, who was not only its producer, co-director, story and script writer but also its Lyricist. The music was by Hansraj Behl and the film had its co- director Ram Kamlani, the youngest brother of comedian Gope. HFGK gives only 4 names in the cast-Nigar Sultana, Sohan, Gope and David. Surely there must be more artistes but they are not mentioned. This is one of those films which is not available now and no information about its story is available anywhere.

Today’s song is from a not so well known but deserving film – Saudamini (1950).

In Hindi (and in almost all indian languages) films, well known and popular dramas, Novels, Stories and the famous writers have played a significant role in providing material to make logical and meaningful films with a message to the people or a particular society. I can say that films based infamous and popular writings have been made into more qualitative presentations than films on Folk stories and Historical Myths.

When we discuss songs in the blog, sometimes they are accompanied by statistics. We can notice that discussions sometimes become clearer when we deal objectively (in numbers )rather than subjectively(using adjectives). We can give the facts, let the readers can judge for themselves.

Today’s song is from Raj Kapoor’s flop film Baawra-1950.

When I started collecting information on this film, I got a Zero at every attempt that I made to get its story. Disappointed, I left that point and wanted to know more about the film’s director G. Rakesh -a name I had never heard in the last many years. I was wondering that a film of Raj Kapoor and an unknown director ? कुछ तो गडबड है !
