“Ham Ek Hain” (1946) as the name suggests, was a movie on the theme of national unity. Durga Khote, in addition to her own biological son, also adopts two more boys and a girl of different religions and communities and brings them up as her own children, while letting them follow their respective religions. And all these children fall in love with persons of the relevant religious faiths and marry them with full parental approval. A very progressive movie indeed.:) Now we know the source of inspiration for Manmohan Desai’s “Amar Akbar Anthony”. 🙂

Old film song lovers would be eternally thankful to the internet technologies and the websites hosting video/audio and MP3 clips of these songs which have made it possible to unearth many of the old film songs which were not known to most of us. I have been active on these websites for the last 3 years or so and I can say that not only has this brought back the memories of many songs after a gap of 30-40 years for me, but also brought to my notice some rare songs I was not aware of. I also became aware of some of the lesser known music directors, lyricists and singers. In fact, I had already created my playlist of such songs most of which have been covered in my articles for discussion in this blog.

I remember being one of the first few fans of this blog when Atul started it in mid-2008. Being crazy about old Hindi songs, I was very excited that Atul was starting this. His original intention was probably to publish songs of HIS liking here. But then he began getting – and accepting – requests (farmaishes).
