Today’s song is from the Mythological film – Mohini-1957.
During the decade of the 1950s, maximum religious, Bhakti pradhan and Mythological films were made. Among them, most had roots in some or the other Puranas, Ramayan or mahabharat, but there were also films having the tag of ‘ Mythological’ film, which had absolutely no connection whatsoever, known or unknown, to any of the mythological stories. I have read all 18 Puranas, Ramayan and Mahabharat. I do not claim to know each and everything from there, but even in the film booklet no mention is made of the source of the story. Film Mohini is one such film. With 100s of Gods and 1000s of stories, it is easy to make up a story resembling any genuine story. Looks like that, like Arabian Night stories, here too adulteration has entered ! A simple trick of adding a lot of magic scenes can enable a story to become a Mythological or Arabian Night story !

Today (4 january 2014) is the 83rd birth anniversary of Nirupa Roy(4 january 1931- 13 october 2004). In the past, I, like many other movie wathers of my time associated her with the roles of hapless mother. Later on, I realised that she had played the roles of leading lady for nearly two decades before she began to play the roles of bhabhi and then maa in Hindi movies.

As I encounter more songs, heard and unheard, composed by N Dutta, I find that Asha Bhosle is the singer who has apparently sung most of his songs (with female voice). Here is a lovely melody from an obscure film, ‘Mohini’ (1957). In this film, of the 9 songs, six are sung by Asha ji.
