Today’s song is from the film ‘Baghdad Ki Raaten’ (1962).
The film is labelled as ‘kalpanik‘, (काल्पनिक) meaning based on an imaginary story. I would have loved to meet the writer of this story, who had such fantastic imagination, but the film mentioned that the story was by the ‘Story Department ‘ of the banner/studio. That explains ! It is not possible to imagine such stories by one single person. The Arabian Night stories were supposed to be told by Scheherazade-wife of the King Shehriar of Persia- to her husband at the rate of one story a night for continuously 1001 nights, to avoid her death. I am sure even she would gladly embrace death after hearing the ‘Arabian Stories’ made by the imaginative story departments of Indian films ! In this one department, we easily defeat the rest of the world’s filmmakers !!

Today’s song is a duet from the film ‘Rocket Girl’ (1962).
Man has always been curious about other planets and the other worlds. His attempts to know more about them have been known since the Vedic Times, i.e. about 5000 years ago. Our religious books describe the various celestial bodies and there are many stories told about them. However, the modern human quest, in reality, started first when during the II World War, Germany developed a rocket to carry missiles over a long distance. The Germans called it the V2 rocket. From this was developed the first ever rocket which went into space for a short period in 1942.

Today’s song is from an imaginary costume film ‘Son of Sindbad’ (1958).
Alibaba, Alladin and Sindbad were the popular characters during our school days. Not only books of their stories but also films made on them were the targets of all children in those days. It was a thrilling experience to get a book on one of these Heroes, as a gift on “Happy Birthday” ! I am not very sure if today’s young children read these stories. I doubt if they even know these names. These boys seem to favour Harry Potter stories, while the young girls are lost on reading Mills and Boon novels, I suppose ! The big fat book ‘Stories of Arabian Nights’ was the most sought after book (in spite of 5 copies) in our school library. Stories of Alibaba, Alladin, Sindbad the sailor, Hatimtai, Gul Bakavali etc enchanted us.

Today’s song is from a Costume drama film Naqab-1955.
This was yet another film weaving a beaten-track story of the King – Queen and the evil Vazir. Initially I was quite amused with such stories and was keen to see these films. Slowly and in due course as I expanded my world, I started getting weary of such set stories. The basic plot used to be the same, only the names of places and the characters and actors used to be different. I guess, even the filmmakers got tired with these stories. In reality, the generation which enjoyed such child pleasing stories was receding in the background with the growing age and the next generation was eager to broaden its visions with different Genres of films like Comedy, Real life adventure, Religion, Love stories, Musicals, Historicals and what not !

Today’s song is from the stunt film Miss Good Night-(1960).
C grade stunt and action films were popular in a section of society, all over India, right from the Silent film era. This type of ” Maar-Dhaad ” films reached the Popularity peak during the 40s and the 50s, but by the beginning of 1961 onwards such films were less popular and within a few years the C grade stunt/action films were a thing of the past.

Today (13 June 2023)is the birth centenary of Prem Dhawan (13 June 1923-7 May 2001).
When I was growing up, I knew him as the lyricist of patriotic songs. Among his most well known songs to me were “O mera rang de basanti chola” from “Shaheed”(1965), “Ae mere pyaare watan tujhpe dil qurbaan” from “Kabuliwala”(1961) and “Chhodo kal ki baaten kal ki baat puraani” from Hum Hindustani(1960). Though I knew him mainly as a lyricist, sometimes he would double up as lyricist cum music director, as in “Shaheed”(1965) and “Pavitra Paapi”(1970).

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
Music lovers on the blog are well aware that there have been instances when movies rated as a ‘B’ grade movie have produced some of the well-known songs in the history of HFM and they have provided music that is lilting and catchy to the ears of the listeners.
I came across one such song during my daily browsing, which I am sharing today.
This song is from the movie ‘Elephant Queen-1961’. It is a two part song.
