Today’s song is the last and final song from a lesser known social film ‘Ek Shola’ (1958).

This film title contains the starting word ‘Ek’, one of the most favorite words of the filmmakers. This word ‘Ek’ is used in 206 film titles, from 1931 to 2012. The film was the first film produced by Deep Khosla and Pradeep Kumar, for their own banner Deep and Pradeep productions, Bombay. It was a joint venture of Deep Khosla and Pradeep Kumar. Deep Khosla, writer-actor became a partner in Pradeep Kumar’s film production company and produced its first film, ‘Ek Shola’ (1958) which went to the production sometime in 1956. Thereafter, the banner produced ‘Ek Jhalak’ (1957), ‘Police’ (1958) and ‘Do Dilon Ki Daastaan’ (1966). In between, their partnership ran into some problems because of trust deficits between Deep Khosla and Pradeep Kumar. It is stated that as a part of the settlement between the two partners, Pradeep Kumar acted free in ‘Batwaara’ (1961) which was produced under the banner of Deep and Sandeep Productions. Sandeep was the son of Kalidas, the brother of Pradeep Kumar. ‘Do Dilon Ki Daastaan’ (1966) was the last released film under the banner, Deep and Pradeep Productions.

Today’s songs from a Mythological film ‘Gaj Gauri’ (1958). The cast of this film consisted of Sulochana (Latkar), Ratnamala, Shahu Modak, Anant Kumar, Nana Palshikar and a host of mostly Marathi artistes plus an elephant named Ram Prasad.

When the talkie films era came to India, the early filmmakers tended to make films on folk tales and mythological stories in the first decade, i.e. 1931 to 1940. In the second decade of 1941 to 1950 many religious films were made. Some of them like ‘Ram Rajya’ (1943) being an all India blockbuster. And the third decade from 1951 to 1960 achieved the peak for mythological films made, worth calling it ‘The Golden Period of Religious films’. As many as 124 such films were made in this decade. From 1961 to 1970 and 1971 to 1980 were ok, but 1980 onwards there was a decline in such films and mythological films became scarce except some dubbed films from the South, where such films are made even today regularly. The television became a competition to this as many dharmik serials were shown on TV.

Today’s song is the last and final song of the film Son of Sindbad-1958.

So far, hundreds of songs have been discussed from films on Arabian Nights stories of Alladin, Alibaba and Sindbad. In these posts almost all the relevant points have been discussed. So, there is a very little new thing that can be brought out and now such posts look repetitive. But it does not mean that everything is over. There are still many things which can be discussed with new angles and especially new information found on the older artists can be brought out.

Today’s song is from a Stunt film – Chaalbaaz-1958.

The film was produced by Balwant Bhatt and Ram Kamlani, under the banner of Neo Lite films. Songs were written by Anjum Jaipuri and Prem Dhawan. The music was by the Melody magician Chitragupta. There were 7 songs in the film.

The title Chaalbaaz seems to be quite a favourite with filmmakers. Films with the same title were made in 1958, 69, 80, 89 and 2003. In addition there was Chaalbaaz Leader-70 and Chaalbaaz Haseena-2002 also.

The cast of Chaalbaaz -58 was Nirupa Roy, Jairaj, Nishi, K N Singh, David, Bhagwan, Cuckoo, Moti(Horse) and Tiger (Dog). It was a stunt film, directed by a veteran of this Genre – Nanabhai Bhatt.

This is my 1800th post here !
Oh, my God !! It is simply unbelievable !!!

I started writing posts here from 1-10-2012 and in almost 13.5 years’ time, I wrote 1800 posts here. Add to it another 100 odd posts elsewhere, on different aspects of Hindi, Marathi, Telugu and Kannada films and I start thinking if I am really the same person ?

After quitting my Pharma work totally as a career (retirement in 1998, as a General Manager-Marketing and then as a Consultant upto 2008), I turned to my favourite subject – Old films and songs, starting only as a commentator on articles of other writers initially. I was initiated into writing posts by ATUL JI. So, whatever my achievements in this field are, the credit goes to ATUL JI, for his help, encouragement and for providing opportunity. Thank you, ATUL JI !
