“Baghdad” (1961) was a Southern Movies production. It was directed by T R Sundaram. The movie had M. G. Ramchandran, Vyjyantimala, Gopal Krishna, T. S. Balliah, Nambiar, Sandhya, Helen etc in it. That makes it one of the rare movies where M G Ramchandran was seen in a Hindi movie. I wonder if it was a dubbed movie. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie.

In India people are too quick to categorise communities. For example, they believe that every Marwadi must be Kanjoosh(stingy), every Gujrati must be a businessman, all Kashmiri women must be beautiful. All Parsees must be eccentric or all Sardarjees must be either in Army/ a carpenter or a Truck driver.

The year was 1947. Dilip Kumar, Anil Biswas and Lata Mangeshkar were travelling in a suburban local train to Malad where Filmistan Studio was located. During the journey, Anil Biswas introduced Lata Mangeshkar as a Maharashtrian girl who would be the singing star of tomorrow. Those days most of the Hindi film songs used to have more Urdu words than Hindi. Dilip Kumar retorted sarcastically. ‘A Maharashtrian? Her Urdu would not do justice to the song. My ears would tingle in shame’. These words stung Lata Mangeshkar so much that in the following morning, she started learning Urdu from an Urdu tutor just to prove Dilip Kumar wrong. This incident was revealed by Lata Mangeshkar in a private function at Dilip Kumar’s residence some time in 1970. Dilip Kumar in his characteristic style, replied that Lata Mangeshkar’s pronunciations and diction both in Hindi and Urdu are so clear and correct that now his ears tingle in shame for those remarks he made in 1947.

I some how reach a Majrooh Sultanpuri song very often. This one is a comic song in the film Maaya (1961). The music director for this film is Salil Chaudhary and it is written by Majrooh. Mohammad Rafi is singing this solo song for Agha. Helen is also seen in the picturization. Agha and Helen are indulging in western style dance using props.

They are also using some extra artist standing around, as ‘Ellora Ajanta Qutub Minar” and Dilli, Bombay and Calcutta.
