When one discussed a movie of 1940s, one often assums by default that it must be a “boring” movie, one which may not hold the interest of later generation movie goers. And when one finds that this movie has Ashok Kumar and Leela Chitnis in lead roles, people who have seen them in character roles may consider dropping the idea of watching the movie.
But what if I tell you that this movie from 1941 is a laugh riot ? And that this movie was the original inspiration of “Padosan”(1968) ? I am sure that people will suddenly get interested in knowing more about this movie.

There are a few milestones in this blog that I eagerly look forward to. One of them is the obvious milestone of century songs. Every song that marks the completion of a century is a special song for this blog and we celebrate it by discussing a special song on that occasion. There have been 44 such occasions for this blog.

Judging by the songs of the movie, I can guess that this movie “Jhoola” (1941) was a highly entertaining movie. The movie was a romantic comedy movie and the movie in fact served as the inspiration for later movies viz “Padosan” (1968). How inspired “Padosan” was from “Jhoola” (1941) could be gauged from the fact that the lyrics of the iconic song Ek chatur naar karke singaar of Padosan(1968) is inspired from the song Ek chatur naar karkar singaar of “Jhoola” (1941).

To the best of my knowledge, there have been two movies called “Jhoola”. The earlier one was released in 1942 and the later one came in 1962. These two movies may have been forgotten , but the music of both these movies are wonderful to listen to.

How many of us have heard of this movie called “Jhoola” ? I had not, and I guessed that a movie by this name must be from early 1950s, since this title rhymed with titles of those days, viz “Mela”, “Jhamelaa” etc.
