Yesterday this blog reached 5000 songs. Today is 14th november, which is celebrated as the children’s day in India. The day is over and it is night time, and not a single song has been discussed on this occasion !
No, I have neither run out of steam nor I have forgotten about this day. In fact I ensured that the 5000 th song was discussed one day advance so as to keep 14th november free for children’s songs. It is just that I was neglecting several important tasks which I completed in the day time. Now I have time to discuss songs for today. It may be too late for the real children, but those who are young at heart (which includes lots of readers of this blog), the day is not yet over. So I will try and discuss a few songs on the occasion as long as it is still 14th november in India. so I still have more than four hours at my disposal. 🙂

“Kotwal Sahab” (1977) is a movie which is directed by Hrishikesh Mukherji. This movie was different from the usual Hrishikesh Mukherji movies. Instead of his usual his usual breezy, humerous, sensitive kind of direction that one is used to, Hrishikesh Mukherji has took up a more serious topic in this movie. In this movie, Shatrughan Sinha is a no nonsence honest police officer. His wife Aparna Sen has a dark past and she does not know how to share that past with her husband, because she fears that it may complicate matters. Utpal Dutt, playing a unscrupulous politician who is aware of Aparna Sen’s past is out there to take advantage of her plight.

Put together the year 1964, the names like Dara Singh, Ameeta, Feroze Khan, Mumtaz, King Kong, Tiger Jogender, a director by the name Nanabhai Bhatt, and a film title like Samson. And here is a ready recipe for a B/C grade stunt film. The name and presence of Dara Singh could well have been the saving grace of this film, in the local B/C grade cinema halls circuit, and likewise the name of the film does not sound so unfamiliar. But then, pour into this mix some lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and some melodious tunes by Chitragupt. Well now, the recipe does turn out to be more interesting, for now at least we are assured there will be some good music coming along with the stunts. Mind not the situations and the people who would perform these pieces of music on screen, the promise of some good songs will not be turned down.
