Today’s song is the last and final song of the film Hatimtai-1956.

I have a very funny memory about this film’s name, Hatim Tai. During my school days, when I first got the book “Stories of Hatim Tai”, from my school Library for reading, I thought these were the stories of the elder sister of someone called Hatim. I thought so because in marathi, ” TAI” means ‘Didi’ or elder sister. However, once i started readingthe book, I realised that I was wrong and Hatimtai was the name of the Hero of the stories. For many years thereafter, I kept on wondering about this misleading name. Finally, in another book I got the answer to my curiosity.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Sajni-1956. This song is of some significance. It is a song sung by a pair of Husband-wife. Of course this is not unique. Earlier also there were a few such songs by Husband-wife pairs. What is significant is that this was their last duet in a film. The pair was Sudhir Phadke and Lalita Deulkar Phadke. What’s more, with this song Lalita ended her film singing career also !

Today’s song is a forgotten good song from the film Ghulam Begum Badshah-1956.

Those who were young in the decade of the 50’s and 60’s, had grown up reading stories which started with “Once upon a time….”. These imaginary stories told the adventures, wars, fights, Love stories etc. of kings and rebels. Filmmakers were intelligent enough to make up and use such stories to entertain their audience. These stories had ample scope for big, impressive sets, colourful and royal costumes, fights, beautiful dancers, magicians, plotting evil prime ministers (vaziers) and the rebels, who finally won the kingdom and the love of the beautiful princess !

Mohammed Rafi – 99th Birth Anniversary and Centenary celebration.

So here comes the birth anniversary of Rafi Sahab. This marks the end of 99th year since Rafi Sahab was sent to this world as a ‘farishta’ some like to believe. Farishta-sifat person most Rafi fans agree to it. As if we have seen a Farishta ever, even if the creation was ever visible to human eye.

Today’s song is from the maiden film Hotel-1956. The film was made by Bright Light Productions, Bombay.

After the II World War, a lot of Black Money came into the film industry. People having this type of unaccounted money were on the look out for investing it clandestinely so that they could earn legitimate profit on it and a part of their money could become White. Many times it was also a way to show huge losses and escape from the Income tax levies. In addition, Film industry glamour was an added attraction. Moving and mixing with well known stars and the late night parties where wine and women were freely available were very alluring too. some of such financiers had an ambition to become Director or an actor and their ill gotten money was helpful to fulfil such desires. So, during the period of 1946 to the mid-50’s, one can find few ‘onetime’ directors and actors in the credits of films. In the Geet kosh, one will find the column of ‘producer’ blank in many such films, as remaining anonymous was an early escape from drawing attention.
