Today’s song is from a very old film – almost 86 years old – Gopal Krishna-1938.

Modern Technology has made wonders possible, otherwise finding such old songs unthinkable. The first year of the Talkie Cinema saw the release of 24 films in its first year-1931. None of these films are available now. The oldest Hindi film that is available today is the film ” Ayodhya Ka Raja”-1932 in Hindi and Marathi (as अयोध्येचा राजा ), made by the Prabhat Film Company of Poona, Maharashtra. Same year, Prabhat also made another film ” Shyam Sunder”-1932. This was the Debut film of Shahu Modak, as young Krishna and also Shanta Apte as his mother-Yashoda. This too was made in Hindi and Marathi.

Today’s song is from a folk tale based film ‘Naulakha Haar’ (1953).

The film was inspired by the famous folk tale of Rajasthan about the love story of Alha-Udal, with the background of 2 warring kingdoms. A lot of cinematic liberty is taken while writing the film story, in order to make the film appealing to more types of audience. Films on famous folk tales are not uncommon in the Hindi film industry. In fact they are a great source of imagination to form hundreds of stories, with desirable changes in the script. Hindi film makers have been making films on such traditional folk stories from all over India. When they exhausted such stories they turned to stories from Arabia and Europe too, besides our own Mythology and Puranas. Some of the love stories I remember offhand , which were made into Hindi films are….

Today’s song is from the film Adhikar-1938.

After a pretty long time, I am writing on a film song of New Theatres, Calcutta. From the 30’s to the early 50’s, New Theatres routinely made bilingual films in Bangla and Hindi. Almost every film coming from New Theatres became popular. The “Saigal” factor was one of the points of attraction, no doubt, but their films without Saigal also became popular.

Hullo Atuldom

The blog has songs from “Shri 420” (1955), “Shrimati 420” (1956) & “Ustaad 420” (1969) – from which “Shrimati 420” is one short from being YYIIPPEEEED. Hindi films have a few more ‘420’ (char sau bees). There is a “Khiladi 420” which came in 2000 & “Chachi 420” which released in 1997. These are the 420/s that I know of, there may be one or two more films with ‘420’ in their title.

Today’s song is from the film Aap ki Marzi aka As you please-(1939).

The Talkie era started with the beginning of the 1930s decade, i.e. in 1931. By 1939, it entered the last year of that decade. Within the first 9 years, the film industry had shed its skin several times before beginning a new phase in the 40’s. Most artistes of the early Talkie era were those who came over from the Silent films. Many such artistes ended their careers while the remaining ones began ending their careers. While all this happened there were new entrants with their own new styles of acting.
