The main languages spoken in Bihar is Bhojpuri, Maithili and Magahi (Magadhi). Bhojpuri is spoken mainly in Western Bihar, spilling over to Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Western Jharkhand. In addition, Bhojpuri is also spoken in some parts of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and the Tarai region of Nepal. Maithili is spoken mainly in North Bihar, North-Eastern Jharkhand and the Eastern Tarai region of Nepal. Magahi is spoken mainly in Southern Bihar and some part of North Jharkhand. The question arises as to why the film producers prefer making films predominantly in Bhojpuri. According to 2011 Census, among the three main languages, Bhojpuri is spoken by the largest number of people (5.06 crore) followed by Maithili (1.34 crore) and Magahi (1.27 crore). There are a large number of Bhojpuri speaking people who have migrated all over India. This should explain as to why among the three languages, the highest number of films have been made in Bhojpuri language.

Today’s song is the last song from the film Lajawab-1950. With this song the film will be YIPPEED !
The year 1950 was the end of the second decade of the Talkie film. It has been just about 3 years since we got our Independence. The film industry seemed to stabilise after the upheaval caused by the mass migration of Muslim artists and technicians from India to their new Utopia – Pakistan. The second line of ‘ waiting in the Q’ artists had taken over without much trouble. The 20 year old ‘ Studio System’ was breaking up and Freelancing was the code now. The cost of film production, from a mere 30 to 40000 rupees in the early 30’s has now escalated to 5 to 6 lakhs per film. This was also due to the ever increasing star costs from 3-4 thousand per film to almost 50-60 thousand per film for ‘A’ grade actors. The Black money in the market was now freely used in the film industry.

I have mentioned it several times that after posting the century post in the blog, I heave a huge sigh of relief and start relaxing, secure in the knowledge that the next century post was far far away. But the next century post occasion arrives way earlier (it seems to me) than expected. It demonstrates that posting 100 articles is not such a daunting task if one just avoids DOT days and posts one or two articles in a day.

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 31
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Reuse phenomena is quite a prevalent feature in Hindi cinema. We are already at the 31st episode of this series, and I must say we have just scratched the surface. There are reuse songs, there are partial reuse songs, there are medleys of songs, and even in some cases, there is a wholesale reuse in the entire film. A great example is the 2002 film ‘Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar’. Bharat Shah, the producer of this film is an out and out die hard fan of Pancham Da, and this film showcases a dozen earlier hit songs of RD Burman.
