There has been very few Hindi films produced with the main theme of Indian classical dances. As far as I know, the first Hindi film with Indian classical dances as the main theme was Uday Shankar’s ‘Kalpana’ (1948) in which his wife, Amla Shankar was in the lead role of a classical dancer. This was followed by V Shantaram’s ‘Jhanak Jhanak Paayal Baaje’ (1955) in which his then future wife, Sandhya was in the lead role of a classical dancer along the Gopikrishna. Another Hindi film I remember is ‘Naache Mayuri’ (1986) which was more like a biographical film on the classical dancer, Sudha Chandran who lost her leg but continued her dancing career after lot of efforts. In this film, Sudha Chandran acted as herself.

There may be a few more films with the omnibus dance theme. I was aware of the film, ‘Paayal Ki Jhankaar, (1980) but, until recently, I did not know that this film was also made with the main theme of Indian classical dances. Perhaps, my mind about this film may have been prejudiced by another film with the same name released in 1968.

Today is shraawan poornimaa. The festival of Rakshaabandhan is being celebrated all over the country today. The shraawan poornimaa in fact started yesterday afternoon and as mentioned in our calendars it ends by today afternoon.

That will also mark the end of the month of saawan in the northern parts of India, while in southern parts including Central India the month of saawan will continue to be observed till amaavasyaa which will fall 23rd of this month.

In these parts of the country the saawan month started from 24th of last month.

On this blog we started to celebrate saawan from 28th of last month when saawan had started to be observed in all parts of the country. Today I am ending this series here with two more saawan songs.

Hullo Atuldom

“Paayal Ki Jhankaar” (1980) was a Rajshri Productions presentation, which was directed by Satyen Bose. It had a cast of Komal Mahuwakar (before this we had seen her in ‘Dream Girl’ as Baby Komal), Alankar (first role where he was not credited as Master Alankar), Surinder Kaur (I think this was her debut), Arun Kumar, Shail Chaturvedi, C.S. Dubey, Sudha Shivpuri, and a few more known & unknown faces who comprise the brigade of character artists in Hindi films.

Filmistan Studio was formed by Shashadhar Mukherjee, Ashok Kumar, Rai Bahadur Chunnilal and Gyan Mukherjee in 1943 after they left Bombay Talkies due to differences with Devika Rani. She had taken over the charge of the Bombay Talkies after the death of her husband, Himanshu Rai in 1940. ‘Chal Chal Re Naujawaan’ (1944) was Filmistan’s maiden film. Thereafter, Filmistan had produced box office successful films such as ‘Do Bhai’ (1947), ‘Shaheed’ (1948), ‘Shabnam’ (1949). Samaadhi’ (1950) and ‘Sargam’(1950). After the death of Rai Bahadur Chunnilal in 1950, Tolaram Jalan took over the Filmistan while Shashadhar Mukherjee continued as its Creative Head. Post-1950, Filmistan produced successful films like ‘Anarkali’ (1953), ‘Naastik’ (1954), ‘Naagin’ (1954), ‘Munimji’ (1955), ‘Tumsa Nahi Dekha’ (1957), ‘Paying Guest’ (1957) etc.

I wonder if regulars of this blog notice the contents of the box that appears at the beginning of each writeup. It shows the day number of the blog as well as the post number. In case the movie makes its debut with the song then the movie number of this movie in the blog is also mentioned.

Yesterday (17 january 2020) was the 4200th day for the blog. It would seem that this occasion (described by me as artificial landmark 🙂 ) passed off unnoticed.

I began to take notice of this kind of century sometime in 2017. From then onwards I have been noticing it regularly. Noticing this event has been made easier because the day number accompanies each post now a days. this practice was started from 1 january 2018 at the initiative of Sudhir Jee and it has become a regular practice since then.

Reading about the Atul ji’s description of the tresses and curls of Indian film heroines, as he discussed yesterday in the song Zulfon ko hataa le chehre se (Saawan Ki Ghata) , I am reminded about this wonderful Kishore da song from the movie Paayal Ki Jhankaar.
