In the early era of films, the line between the various language films was very thin. Films were often made taking inspiration from other language films. Many times films were made on topics related to other languages. For example, films on Sant Tukaram, Dnyaneshwar, Sant Sakhu, Gora Kumbhar and even Namdeo-the saints popular in Maharashtra-were made in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages. Tamil, Telugu and Kannada films were also made on the lives of on Sant Tulsidas and Kabir.

I have mentioned it in the past that I did not like “old” songs when I was young. Those days (1970s), anything more than five years old was old for me. Today, I love listening to songs that are fifty, sixty and sometimes even seventy years old. Things have changed. I would like to believe that I have “matured”. Of course, I will not say that I was wrong as a kid.

Yatrik, a vintage film was made in 1952. I had heard so many times, so many good things about this movie from my mother, when I was a little kid. But, was never too much interested in old movies mainly because they had too many songs. Because of the age & my limited “soch” to understand the depth of these songs, I never paid any attention either to watch any movies on Doordarshan or to listen to those songs on radio.
