Today (4th january) seems to be an important day for Hindi movies, seeing that several artists were either born on this day or they expired on this day.

Nirupa Roy, who in the mind of most moviegoers of my generation was immortalised as the long suffering mother of the hero (typically Amitabh Bachchan), was born on 4th january.

“Waaman Avtaar” (1955) is one of those B grade mythological/religious movies that the mainstream movie goers did not patronise. The movie may not have been a big hit, but I guess that a movie made on such shoe string budget can always earn a small and tidy profit for its makers.

“Chakradhaari” (1954) was an archtypical B grade mythological movie. It had Nirupa Roy,Trilok Kapoor and Shahu Modak in lead roles. Such movies normally have a very limited run among movie lovers and then these movies are forgotten.

It is the day of Raakhi festival (Raksha bandhan) today and we saw in one song that a man was lamenting the fact that he did not have a sister of his own. But it is not necessary for a man to have a real sister of his own for the purpose of rakhi. Indian mythology is full of tales of unrelated men being sent rakhi by women and they fougtht to protect the honour of their rakhi sisters. Hindi movies too show girls tie rakhi on the wrists of strangers and they prove to be more loyal that their real brother.

Lyrics

itihaas agar likhna chaaho
itihaas agar likhna chaaho
aazaadi ke majmoon se
itihaas agar likhna chaaho
aazaadi ke majmoon se

to seencho apni dharti ko veeron tum apne khoon se
har har har mahaadev alla hu akbar
har har har mahadev alla hu akbar

aapas mein ladna chhodo bhedbhaav ka sar todo
aapas me ladna chhodo bhedbhaav ka sar todo
watan pe aafat aayi hai to taar dil ka dil se jodo
taar dil ka dil se jodo
agar bandhna chaahe koi zulm bhare kaanoon se
zulm bhare kaanoon se
to seencho apni dharti ko veeron tum apne khoon se
har har har mahadev alla hu akbar
har har har mahadev alla hu akbar

hamen na abla samjhe koi
ham bhaarat ki naari hain
ham bhaarat ki naari hain
komal komal phool nahin
ham jwaala hain chingaari hain
ham jwaala hain
chingaari hain

chhod do paayal ki jhankaar haath mein lo teekhi talwar
hata do ghoonghat ka singaar
bano ranchandi ka avtaar
hey ambe jagdambe
hey ambe jagdambe
hey ambe jagdambe
hey ambe jagdambe

taar dil ka dil se jodo
agar jo chaaho vatan hamaara
hansta rahe sakoon se
hansta rahe sakoon se
to seencho apni dharti ko veeron tum apne khoon se
har har har mahaadev alla hu akbar
har har har mahadev alla hu akbar

itihaas agar likhna chaaho aazadi ke majmoon se
to seencho apni dharti ko veeron tum apne khoon se
har har har mahadev alla hu akbar
har har har mahadev alla hu akbar
har har har mahadev alla hu akbar
har har har mahadev alla hu akbar

o jaane kyaa bole kyaa bole kyaa bole


The usual love stories constituted the bulk of storyline in mainstream Hindi movies of the past. The fact that history and mythology provided such rich sources of stories that could be used was not given much thought by mainstream movie makers. It was left to movie makers of smaller resources (makers of B grade movies) to make movies on such topics that were regarded as risky and unviable by mainstream movie makers.
