Chaar Chaand -1953 was one of those non-descript movies which leave no trace behind them, once they go off the screen.

I had not seen this film and I did not get any information about this film anywhere on the net or in any books or magazines. With a star cast of B grade, like Shyama, Suresh, Bhagwan, Shaikh, Majnu, Cuckoo etc, even its production banner was not well known- Fine art films, Bombay.

There are two types of films, for which sure shot captive audience are readily available anytime. They are-
1. Religious or mythological films and

2. Tear jerkers or films depicting extreme pitiable conditions of women, like, for example- Aurat teri yehi kahani, Bhabhi or bhabhi ki choodiyan etc.

Some producers play smart and combine the two types of movies, like Jai Santoshi Maa or Krishna Sudama or Solah Somvar Vrat etc.

A few days back, I had discussed hamri munder boley kaaga sakhi ri from the film BAABLA (1953) on this blog. But well before this song, I had come across another song ‘lehron ke rele sang naiya mori khele’ from the same film sung by Hridaynath Mangeshkar. The voice sounded girlish. My first reaction was that it must have been some mistake on the part of uploader of the audio clip to name him as a singer of this song. My doubt stemmed from the fact that Hridaynath Mangeshkar was born on October 27, 1937. At the time of recording this song, he must be around 15 years by which time the voice of a boy should have turned in to a boyish or a male voice. So I kept this song in the loop for some time until I made fairly sure that this song was really sung by him.

KAPOOR Khandaan is called the First family of Bollywood, not for nothing !

Starting with Prithwiraj Kapoor till Kareena and Ranbir, all through the generations, they have been shining in the film industry. This is not just because they belonged to the Kapoor khandaan. In film industry, particularly in the acting field, one can not survive for long, if one has no talent or if he is not doing hard work. One’ s ancestry alone is not acceptable to the Indian audience. This has been proved time and again. For example, Raaj kumar, Raj Babbar, Rajendra Kumar or Shashi Kapoor were successful actors, but what happened to their sons ?

This article is the 7900th song post in the blog.

Heh, heh, 7900.

It is amazing. You just turn your back, seems for maybe a couple of days, and Atul ji sneaks in a rapid fire century. And before you know it, hey, another milestone, another 100 songs up on the charts. And this one, seems to be very, very fast indeed. Like hitting a hundred before lunch on the first day in a test match. Wow. It was just 1st April that we did the previous milestone, and just on 14th today, we have the next. At this rate, it is definite that we shall hit the 8000 mark by the end of this month. 🙂
