#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————
(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-8)
—————————–

“Veeraanganaa-1947” was directed by Nandlal Jaswantlal for Laxmi Productions, Bombay. This was a movie from the genre of “historical” movies. The cast of this movie included Shobhana Samarth, Prem Adib, Jeewan, Prabha, Badri Prasad, Sankata Prasad, Shanta Patel, Kanta and others. This movie has eight songs as per Geet Kosh-Vol-II (1941-1950). Kavi Pradeep wrote the lyrics for the songs in this movie under the name of Miss Kamal. The singers’ names for all the individual songs are not mentioned against the songs of this movie. Hari Prasanna Das and Manna Dey were the two music directors for this movie. In Geet Kosh four songs are attributed to composer Hari Prasanna Das, so we can guess that the other songs are composed by Manna Dey.

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet #

In this post I am presenting a song from an obscure movie from the year of 1975. Obscure because I could neither find any videos from this movie on internet nor any information about it. The title of this movie is ‘Samasya’. It was passed by the censor board on 29.11.1975. Geet Kosh V (1971-1980) mentions this movie as belonging to the genre of ‘social movies’. It was directed by Dayabhai Bhakt for ‘Akik Chitra, Bombay’. The cast of this movie had Madhuchhanda, Pawan Dutt, Chitra Sundaram, Atam Prakash, Sunil Dhawan, D.S. Mehta, Rakesh Jaimani, Vikas Bali, Pratibha Matkari, Anjali Devi and others. Sajjan, Jagirdar, Pallavi Mehta and Damodar Shah had made special appearances in this movie.

Today’s song is from a less known Mythological film Gaj Gauri-1958.

The film was made by Prabhat Chitra, Bombay. This is not the famous Prabhat Film Company of Poona (Sama Name Confusion even in Film Company names ?), which was auctioned in 1952 and then formally closed on 13-10-1953. Their last film was Aparadhi-1949.

#The Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #

Today’s song is from the 1962 movie ‘Rashtraveer Shivajee’. I had come across this song recently when I was presenting patriotic songs during Republic Day celebrations. I was looking for songs that praise our national heroes, freedom fighters, and the many unsung heroes who fought the battle for freedom. Before the Britishers our country was invaded by various alien rulers. These rulers tried to dominate the native people by crossing all limits of cruelty, killing them, making them slaves, by converting their faith and religion. However, from time to time there have been courageous and brave sons and daughters of this land who fought to protect the native people of this country. They included rulers from various regions as well as people like Shivaji who created their own kingdom- or ‘Hindavee Swaraajya’ and gave fierce fights to rulers like Moghuls.

Today’s song is from the Mythological film Shiv Kanya-1954.

Atulites know very well that for the last so many years, I have been posting my “Good Morning” messages on our WA group. Along with the GM message, I also post photos and pictures of various Gods and Mythological events, so that our readers get acquainted and their day should start with the auspicious darshan of our Gods and Goddesses. Some time back I posted a picture of the entire family of Shiv ji, which showed Shankar, Parvati, Ganesh, Kartikeya and their daughter Mansa Devi. The same was posted on Fb and my other 10+ groups.
