The main languages spoken in Bihar is Bhojpuri, Maithili and Magahi (Magadhi). Bhojpuri is spoken mainly in Western Bihar, spilling over to Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Western Jharkhand. In addition, Bhojpuri is also spoken in some parts of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and the Tarai region of Nepal. Maithili is spoken mainly in North Bihar, North-Eastern Jharkhand and the Eastern Tarai region of Nepal. Magahi is spoken mainly in Southern Bihar and some part of North Jharkhand. The question arises as to why the film producers prefer making films predominantly in Bhojpuri. According to 2011 Census, among the three main languages, Bhojpuri is spoken by the largest number of people (5.06 crore) followed by Maithili (1.34 crore) and Magahi (1.27 crore). There are a large number of Bhojpuri speaking people who have migrated all over India. This should explain as to why among the three languages, the highest number of films have been made in Bhojpuri language.

Today’s song is from the film Kismet Palat Ke Dekh-1961.
The film was a Stunt film, with the most unlikely and unusual cast. It was directed by a small-time character actor- C.S. aka Chandra Shekhar Dubey. This was the only film he ever directed and rightly so, looking at its result. The Music Director was Gunjan aka G.M.Durrani. The cast included Anup Kumar, Pritibala aka Zeb Rehman, Durga Khote, Daljit, Iftikhar, Tiwari, Majnu, Polson, Dalda, Jeevankala and others.

‘Jaadoo Nagri’ (1961) was produced by Ram Dayal under the banner of Mukul Pictures and was directed by Radhakant. Cast included Ranjan, Vijaya Chowdhary, Ramayan Tiwari, Helen, Majnu, Kammo, Shammi, Mridula, Tuntun etc. The VCD of the film is available online but quality of both the video and audio is not good. A feature of this ‘black and white’ film is that all the songs have been picturised in colour.

‘Senapati’ (1961) was produced by Jai Gopal Mohla under the banner Mohla Films and was directed by Kedar Kapoor. The star cast included Prithviraj Kapoor, Nalini Jaywant, Amarnath, Veena, K N Singh, Tiwari, Helen, Durga Khote, Chaman Puri, Heera Sawant, Rajan Kapoor, Janakidas, Jeevan Kala, Madhumati etc. I heard the name of the producer, J G Mohla for the first time. Before this film, he had produced ’Insaan’ (1952) and ‘Ehsaan’ (1954). After ‘Senapati’ (1961), he seems to have vanished from Hindi films. But when I saw the name of Madan Mohla as the Associate Producer of this film, it gave me a hint of some connection with J G Mohla. Madan Mohla is a familiar name because of some of his box office hit films like ‘Sharafat’ (1972), ‘Raja Jani’ (1974), ‘Dus Numbri’ (1976) etc. The online search revealed that Madan Mohla was the son of Jai Gopal Mohla (J G Mohla). Incidentally, Madan Mohla was also the assistant director under director Kedar Kapoor for this film.

‘Wanted’ (1961) was produced by Tony Walker under his banner, Golden Films and was directed by N A Ansari. The cast included Vijay Kumar, Sayeeda Khan, Johny Walker, Shammi, Rajan Kapoor, Nazeer Hussain, N A Ansari, Anwar Hussan, Helen, Manorama, Dulari etc. This was Tony Walker’s first film as a producer in which he launched his younger brother, with a screen name of Vijay Kumar as a lead actor. Probably, this is the only film in which all the three brothers – Johny Walker (Badruddin Kazi), Tony Walker (Kamaluddin Kazi) and Vijay Kumar (Waheeduddin Kazi) worked together.

Every year, hundreds of Hindi feature films are certified by Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Just for a sample check, I found that for the years 1951-1980, on an average, 100-120 Hindi features films had been certified/released. I am sure the number of Hindi films certified/released in the subsequent decades must have increased significantly. There were many Hindi feature films which had been shot but got shelved or remained incomplete or if completed, remained unreleased. I checked on the websites of Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) and Producers Guild of India (GUILD) for the list of such films. Unfortunately, no such information is available on the website. It is one more example of the poor upkeep of film related statistics.
