Today’s song is from a fantasy film Gul E Bakawali-1963.

Most Indians have two common traits. One, they are religious and two, they believe in magic. Therefore most of the children liked the stories in which there was fantasy and magic. Ofcourse, I am talking of older times. These days children’s likings have changed and they like to play with modern gadgets, rather than reading books.

When I was in school, there was great demand from students for books on Vedic stories, fantasy and fairy stories, especially the Arabian Night story books in our school library. Students had to put their names on a waiting list for such books, though the library had multiple copies of such books. Once the books were taken home, other members of the family also read them with great taste and nostalgia.

Today’s song is from the Sci-Fi film Gogola-1966. This is the last and final song of the film here.

According to the Internet information available on http://www.geeksforgeeks.org, as on 6-3-2024, the First 10 biggest Cinema industries in the World are….

Country Speciality/ strong point
Hollywood In USA Blockbusters, Technology, Cultural Influence
Bollywood IN India Colourful Musical Dramas, Global Appeal
Nollywood IN Nigeria Prolific, Cost Effective, Family and Love Films
China Box Office Revenue, Infrastructure, Production Volume
United Kingdom Historical Epics, Strong Storytelling, Global Presence
South Korea High production Value, Innovative Storytelling, Thrillers
France Artistic Films, New Wave, Film Festivals
Japan Variety of Genres, Aesthetic Innovation, Samurai Epics
Italy Art Cinema, Compelling Storytelling, Visual Flair
Russia Epic Narratives, Historicals, Animation

From the above data, one can conclude that it is only the Indian industry which provides only entertainment. It was never famous for Innovative stories, Technical advances or Sci Fi films. The entire focus has been and is even today on giving entertainment. However, as I noticed from the last few years, there have been some subtle changes and a lot of films on National issues, National personalities and films highlighting people who mattered in the development of the country have been made and these have received massive support from the viewers, encouraging more such adventures. In due course it surely will reflect on the Indian film industry in the world’s eyes.

Today (20 November 2021) is the birthday of Minu Purushottam (DoB 20 November 1944). She made her debut in Hindi movies in 1963 with “Tajmahal”(1963), under the music direction of Roshan. The song was Naa naa naa re haath na lagaana , a duet alongwith Suman Kalyanpur. The lilting song from “Ye Raat Phir Na aayegi”(1966), Huzoorewaala jo ho izaajat , a duet with Asha Bhonsle, is quite a popular song to this day. Both songs incidentally were picturised on Helen and Madhumati (Helen clone).

While covering songs on most days, I do not feel much pressure. The only pressure on me is that the day should not end up as a DOT day. I make sure that at least one writeup appears on the blog every day. Fortunately there has been no DOT days this year. The last DOT day of the blog was in December 2019.

The other “pressure”, apart from that of avoiding DOT day, is to make sure that guest posts are published within a day or so. If there is too much delay in publishing them then it may lead to avoidable misunderstanding. Then there is pressure of publishing articles that are topical (having to do with anniversaries, special days etc) which must be published on the appointed day otherwise they lose their relevance.

Missing Films of 1960s – 46
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Today, we introduce the film ‘Chaar Chakram’ from 1965. Another film by the same name was also produced in 1932. The name ‘Chaar Chakram’ takes off on the more familiar Hindi phrases that tell of the friendship amongst four friends – ‘chaar yaar’ and ‘chandaal chaukdi’.

This film was produced under the banner of PM Pictures, Bombay and directed by Sultan. The star cast listed in the Geet Kosh is very detailed. The lead roles are by Shyam Kumar and Leela Kumari, and the supporting cast is Tuntun, SK Prem, Anjum, Fazal Khan, Haroon, Bhagwan, and another long list of names that are not too familiar – Kenny, Bob, Butter, Jilani, Maqbool, Ajeet, A Siddique, Hameeda, Sabeena, Lawrence, Chand, Doctor, Daud, Ameer, Muhammad Sandow, Ahmed, Zeenat, Purushottam, Bhai Das, and Iqbal.

“Amaanat” (1975) was produced and directed by Shatrujit Paul. The movie had Manoj Kumar, Sadhana, Balraj Sahni, Mehmood, Achalka Sachdev, Shashikala, Keshto Mukherji etc in it. This movie began in 1960s and its songs got released much before the movie. The movie itself had a very delayed release. It finally got its censor certificate on 31 december 1975 and thus qualified as a movie of 1975!

The lyrics for this song has been provided by Sudhir, a new visitor of this blog and a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movies and its songs

Rail songs are those songs in which Hindi movie actors are singing the song aboard a train. I am aware of around 40-50 Rail songs from Hindi movies. Most of them have been discussed in this blog. I continue to discover “new” rail songs quite frequently and a few of them are so good that I have earmarked them to be discussed on special occasions for this blog.
