Today’s song is from the social film Naya Kadam-1958.
“Naya” is one of the popular title words of the filmmakers in Hindi films. As many as 40 films were made, having the starting word as Naya- from Naya Aadmi to Naya Zamana, during the period of 1935 to 2009. Not to be left behind, even films having titles starting with Nayi, Nayee or Nai, there were as many as 29 films !
Film Naya kadam-1958 was not a very successful film in 1958, as the year was replete with many entertaining films. It was directed by S.P.Kalla. His life story is like many other film people who, though successful in their vocation in the film industry, try their hand at producing a film and it becomes their nemesis costing them the ultimate- their life !
