Today’s song is from the film Mahapooja aka Shri Satyanarayan Katha-1954.

Shri Satyanarayan is not an avatar of Vishnu. It is a form of Maha Vishnu. The pooja is described in Skanda Puran, in which Lord Vishnu tells Narad how this puja will help the Human beings in times of stress in Kaliyug. The custom of following this Vrat and doing Satyanarayan pooja gained momentum in the period of the ‘Bhakti Movement’, which began from the 7th century in South India – Tamilnadu – and peaked all over the rest of India during the 15 th to 17 th century.

Today’s song is from the film Sakshi Gopal-1957.

Wednesday, 28th August 2024 was a very sad day for me. On this day, I learnt about the sad demise of Shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji from Surat. He was one of the most well known Hindi and Gujarati film Historians in India. He had a very large circle of admirers and friends all over India, but he hardly moved out of Surat, as far as I know.

“Jai Raadhe Krishna-1974” was directed by Yashwant Pethkar for ‘Shiv Shakti Films, Bombay’. This was a movie from ‘mythological genre’. It was produced by Gajanan P. Shirke and Pratap Singh. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 05.11.1974. Which means this movie is going to complete its ‘fifty years’ this year in the month of November.
Today we introduce this movie on the blog with its title song. This song also plays in the background as the titles of this movie appear on the screen. It is sung by Manna Dey.

Today’s song is from the film Gustakhi Maaf-1969.

Titles of Hindi films generally confuse me, but mostly they disappoint me. A normal cinegoer expects that the title of the film indicates the type of film it is or gives a hint of the film’s story subject or atleast the type/genre of the film. But mostly the titles are misleading. Luckily the hoardings and the posters of the film are more revealing and attractive. They give a closer hint about the film. Here too, what is shown on the hoardings is not seen in the films many times. Why I am saying all this is, because today’s film’s story has absolutely nothing to do with its title, by any angle.

Every year, hundreds of Hindi feature films are certified by Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Just for a sample check, I found that for the years 1951-1980, on an average, 100-120 Hindi features films had been certified/released. I am sure the number of Hindi films certified/released in the subsequent decades must have increased significantly. There were many Hindi feature films which had been shot but got shelved or remained incomplete or if completed, remained unreleased. I checked on the websites of Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) and Producers Guild of India (GUILD) for the list of such films. Unfortunately, no such information is available on the website. It is one more example of the poor upkeep of film related statistics.

(Martyr’s day 2024)

Today 30th January is the ‘martyr’s day’ where we pay our tributes to all the known and unknown martyrs of this great country. It is well known fact that during freedom struggle of India i.e. Bharat, many people fought against the British Empire and laid down their lives to see their fellow countrymen free. For years together we have grown-up reading stories of our freedom struggle and the great revolutionaries who sacrificed their lives on the way of their fight for freedom of this country.
