“Jeewan Jyoti” (1953) is a movie that had Shammi Kapoor, Chand Usmani, Shashikala etc in it. Personally I am not much aware of this movie. In fact, I am not much aware of its songs too. Or so I thought. Just a few hours ago, I stumbled upon this song, which I had heard many a times without being aware of its details. This time I realised that this song was from “Jeewan Jyoti” (1953). In fact, I thought that this song, which is fairly well known, was already in this blog. But I was wrong in my assumption, of course.

I love watching old movies (pre-1980, just to clarify!) and of late I’ve been watching a whole lot of them. Kala Pani, Kala Bazar, Kashmakash, Chhote Sarkar, Pagla Kahin Ka, Kasauti, Ma Beta, Waqt, Ek Bechara, Cobra Girl, Swayamvar, Raja Aur Runk, Jeene Ki Raah are just some of the movies I watched in January this year.

Few people today may have heard of this movie called “Ghazab” (1982). I , on the other hand, not only know about this movie, I have seen this movie and it is one of those movies that I liked. The story of this movie was different and that made me like this movie.

Umrao Jaan was a legendary courtesan of Lucknow, though few people outside Lucknow may be much aware of her. But all that changed in 1980 when the movie “Umrao Jaan” was released. And now, whenever one mentions Umra Jaan, one is reminded of Rekha. Just like many people think that Emperor Akbar looked like Prithviraj Kapoor, many people now think that Umrao Jaan looked like Rekha.

In 1970s, we had a genre of movies that were supposed to be fun movies, which were mainly directed by Bengali directors like Hrishikesh Mukherji, Basu Chatterji etc. These movies followed their own formula of comedy.

The charm of Hindi films for me began from the time I began watching them avidly. The charm lay in those unique features of the Hindi film; multi-starrer, great fight scenes, action-packed, zingy songs and scintillating dialogues. If this was coupled with a lost-and-found brother/friend plot, with messages on religious harmony, and with good triumphing over evil, what more could a teenager want!

Main shaayar badnaam

While posting songs from the golden era of Bollywood movies, I have tended to concentrate more on the songs of 1950s and 1960s, even though I grew up with songs of 1970s. Just like we these days lament about the quality of Bollywood movie songs today and cite old Bollywood movie songs as the epitome of quality, the same lament was heard even in 1970s. Even I was under the impression that the quality of music in 1970s was not what it was in the earlier years. Now of course I can have a hearty laugh at my own expense with the benefit of hindsight.
