Today’s song is from a Mythological film- Navratri-1955.

The word ‘Navratri’ evokes memories of the festive atmosphere of Dussehra and the following fun days of Diwali, just about 3 weeks ahead. During our childhood, this was the time to buy new clothes or something which the parents had promised to give us at Diwali time. In the evening a gang of surrounding friends used to go visiting our friends in other areas. Meeting elders and seeking their blessings was mandatory.

In my last article, I discussed the film, ‘Naache Naagin Baaje Been’ (1969) which was written and produced by Devi Sharma (19/10/2021 – 30/03/2010). I got acquainted with his name when I had watched his films, ‘Ganga Ki Laharen’ (1964) and ‘Gunaahon Kaa Devta’ (1967)” in my younger days. Meerut born Devi Sharma was a writer and got attracted to the glamour world of Hindi films. He shifted to Mumbai and debuted as a co-producer with Wasti for ‘Basre Ki Hoor (1956). His first independent film as a producer and writer under his banner, Janta Chitra was ‘Taxi Stand’ (1958). The next as a producer-writer was ‘Kaali Topi Laal Roomaal’ (1959).

Today’s song is from the film Talwar ka Dhani-1956.

TALWAR KA DHANI-1956 was a costume drama and also a stunt film.When I first went to see this film in its second run in 1960 or so, I thought that this must be based on the story of “King Arthur and his sword”, but I was mistaken. Probably the producers had not even heard who this Arthur was, and they based their story on Gujarat background. Appropriately, the hero was also Manhar Desai (real name Malcom Alfredo Desai, a Goan, from 3-8-17 to25-2-92), who was a Popular Hero in Gujarati and Mythological films those days.
