6300 Post No. : 19500

The previous post published earlier today was post number 19499. Eagle eyed regulars may have also noticed that today was 6300th day for the blog. So, going by past experience, they must be expecting the blog century post today.

They are not wrong, of course. When I noticed that we were approaching 6300th day for the blog, I decided to coincide that with blog century post. That meant I had to slow down from the usual rate of posts (3 to 4 posts a day) for a couple of days.

It is not the first time when blog century post has appeared on such a round hundred day for the blog. 18700th post had appeared on on 6000th day. Earlier 16900th post had appeared on 5000th day of the blog.

Today’s song is a qawwaalee song from the movie ‘Behraam Daaku-1959’. This movie had made its debut on the blog on 01.07.2017 with its song ‘betaab hai dil bechain nazar’ and later one more song ‘tere sitam ki daastaan’ was posted on 08.04.2018.

“Behram Daaku-1959” was directed by Akkoo for ‘Afzal Films, Bombay’. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 20.11.1959 (as mentioned in Geet Kosh Vol-III-1951-1960). It had Manhar Desai, Chitra, Sheikh, Ashraf Khan, Habib, Tuntun, Shyam Kumar, Raj Adib, Menka Kumari, Daraj, Sharda, Babulal, Ranjana and others in it.

Today’s song is from an obscure film of the Golden Era – Sahil-1959.

Personally, I had never heard of this film. Though after Tumsa Nahi Dekha-1957, Shammi Kapoor had changed his looks – by removing his mustache, which never suited him – and style of acting, somehow this film never appealed to the viewers. I don’t even remember when it was in the theatres ! While going through the HFGK, I found the reason. It seems the film was made in 1955/56 and even the songs were recorded in 1954/55. For unknown reasons the film was censored on 8-4-1959 and was finally released in October 1959.

Since this film belonged to the period of Shammi Kapoor’s old style- with mustache – and by 1959-60 he was on a success ride, no one wanted to see this film. As such there was nothing notable in this film. The story was weak,the starcast was ordinary and the songs were not good enough to attract the audience. So the film flopped and disappeared from the theatres quickly.

Today’s song is from a social film- Fashionable wife-1959.

Very few know that there was an interesting film of the same title- Fashionable wife in 1938 also. I called it interesting, because its Hero- Sardar Gul, came from Calcutta and did a role in the film Said e hawas-1936, made by Sohrab Modi’s film company ” Stage Films”. Sohrab Modi gave the Hero a screen name of Chandra Kumar. Actually, the film was only a shooting of the very popular stage play of the same name. Sardar Gul was promised Rs. 200 for this film. However the film flopped miserably and Modi refused to pay him more than Rs. 50 only. Enraged, he threw the money on Modi’s face and left for Calcutta. After 2 years he returned to Bombay, with a new screen name Anil Kumar and acted in the film Fashionable wife. He went on to do more than 30 films till 1964.

Similarly, the film Fashionable wife-1959 was also interesting. The heroine of the film- Jaymala was the wife of the producer director , B.K.Adarsh. She had done few films earlier, but being the wife of the producer she was made a Heroine, as it was all a ” Ghar ka mamla” ! She was neither very beautiful nor a very good actress. This is how Nepotism existed in Hindi films for a long time.

That remains the only song from this movie in the blog. That post marked the 100th composition of music director Avinash Vyas on the blog. According to an estimate he has composed 437 songs for 52 Hindi movies. The blog has so far covered 145 songs composed by Avinash Vyas.

Today’s song is from the film Dr.Z-1959.

When I first saw the title of this film, I thought it to be a Sci- Fi film. In the period of the 1950s and the 1960s many Sci Fi films from Hollywood were coming to India and our clever filmmakers used to grab the story matter. By making few changes in the story to protect themselves from legal action (like the film Begunah-1957), Hindi films were made by them. It is not that there was a shortage of good stories or there were no creative story writers in the industry, but many B and C grade filmmakers found this method profitable and saleable. In those days, a certain section of the film audience was devoted to such films.

However, when I found later – to my dismay – that this was just an ordinary crime story film mixed with a Love story, I was disappointed. looking at its cast, director and the Music director, one could easily guess the type of film that it was. The title of the film was supposed to arouse the interest of the fixed audience.

In this post we listen to a song from the 1959 movie ‘Tin Tin Tin’. Tin-Tin-Tin-1959 made its debut on the blog on 12.08.2014 with its song ‘ jhoomti bahaar hai raat hai jawaan’. Two more songs from this movie were posted on 02.12.2020 and 24.04.2023. When I had shared the first song from this movie as a lyrics contributor in 2014, it was the only song from this movie that was available online at that time. Subsequently, other songs from this movie too have become available. Only audio of these songs are available and no videos of this movie are availaable.

‘Tin Tin Tin-1959’ was directed by B.J. Patel for ‘Kirit Films, Bombay’. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 06.08.1959. It was produced by Dhanpatrai.
