Today’s song is from a C grade costume film ‘Aan Baan’ (1956).

I was in two minds while searching for songs of this film on YouTube. Firstly, whenever I tried to find a song of this film, invariably YouTube presented songs from the film ‘Aan Baan’ made in 1972. After getting tired of this behaviour of YT, I got an idea and I asked for songs from ‘Aan Baan’ (1972). Lo and behold ! YT promptly gave me songs from ‘Aan Baan’ (1956) ! I was in a fix whether to pat my back for this idea or to curse YT for its dumbness.

Today’s song is from an obscure, neglected film 26th January-(1956).

India got Independence in 1947, but till 1950, we still had the British King as our Head of the country and all British laws and rules applied here. It was only on 26th January 1950 that we shed the title of ” a Dominion of the British Empire” and we became an Independent Republic. We had our own Head of the Government and our own laws and rules to follow. We had our president and Prime Minister and we were a Democratic Nation – no more a part of any kingdom anymore.

Today (13 June 2023)is the birth centenary of Prem Dhawan (13 June 1923-7 May 2001).

When I was growing up, I knew him as the lyricist of patriotic songs. Among his most well known songs to me were “O mera rang de basanti chola” from “Shaheed”(1965), “Ae mere pyaare watan tujhpe dil qurbaan” from “Kabuliwala”(1961) and “Chhodo kal ki baaten kal ki baat puraani” from Hum Hindustani(1960). Though I knew him mainly as a lyricist, sometimes he would double up as lyricist cum music director, as in “Shaheed”(1965) and “Pavitra Paapi”(1970).

Today’s song is a beautiful Lata song from the film Aan Baan-1956.

The film was a Costume film telling us an age old story about an old dilapidated king,ambitious evil Rajkumar, a Princess in love with the enemy state prince and as expected a Happy end confirming that ” Good prevails over the Bad”. This type of childish stories had slowly failed to entertain the audience, who looked for some fresh different stories set in the current social scene.

Today’s song is a funny Dance song from the film – Naya Aadmi-1956.

There were 4 films with titles Aadmi – in 1939, 1957, 1968 and 1993. Then came films describing an Aadmi, like Aadmi sadak ka-1977, Pehla Aadmi-1950, Naya Aadmi-1956 and Bhala Aadmi-1958. Aadmi alone is not good, so films came like Aadmi aur Apsara-1991, Aadmi aur Aurat-1984 and 1999, Aadmi aur insaan-1969 and even Aadmi ki Aurat-2009 !
