Today’s song is from the film Shri Rambhakta Hanuman-1948.

The film was produced and directed by Homi Wadia for his own banner Basant Pictures. The film story was adapted from Valmiki Ramayan by Shivram Vashikar and the dialogues were by P.C. Joshi- who had also acted in the film in the role of Lakshman. The film starred Trilok Kapoor (Shri Ram), Prabhas Joshi (Lakshman), Sona Chaterjee (Seeta), Niranjan Sharma (Ravan), S.N.Tripathi (Hanuman), Dalpat Joshi, Amarnath and many others.The music was by S.N.Tripathi. This was his first role as Hanuman. He went on to do Hanuman’s role 6 more times.

Film Shri Rambhakta Hanuman-48 was the first of the Mythological films Homi Wadia’s Basant Pictures had made. Due to the extraordinary success of religious films from Prakash Pictures, suddenly there was a spurt in making Mythological films. Though Prakash Pictures made hit films like Bharat Milap-42 and Ram Rajya-43, in their films, the entire focus was on Shri Ram and Seeta Mai. They did not give any importance to Hanuman in their films. When I checked the credits of these two films yesterday, I found that Hanuman’s name was not there in the credits and we do not know who did that role ! Sensing this as an opportunity, the business minded Wadia made a film on Hanuman as the central character.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film – Tilottama-1954.

Made by Basant Pictures of Homi Wadia, it was directed by the Trick Master Babubhai Mistry. Music was by the multitasking expert S.N.Tripathi. The cast included Chitra, Kailash, Maruti, Babu raje, Indira Bansal, Heera Sawant, B.M.Vyas and a long list of small time actors, who were regulars in such films. The Lyrics were by G.S.Nepali.

Tilottama was an extraordinarily beautiful apsara from the Swarga. She was especially created by Vishwakarma on Brahma ji’s suggestion. The first chapter of mahabharata – The Adi Parva – mentions that Maharshi Narad detailed the story of Tilottama to Pandavas and warned them that one Draupadi as a wife to 5 Pandavas could become a cause of conflict and that they must be careful about it.

Today’s song is a chorus song from the Mythological film Hanuman Patal Vijay-1951.

I liked to see and enjoyed Mythological films. This was primarily due to the exposure to such films since early childhood. Thanks to the elders in our huge joint family, I got appointed as their caretaker who would take a group of elders to see such films. That is why from childhood I developed a religious mindset. However, my father ensured to impress on me that Religion is strictly a personal matter and one must decide how much importance one should give to Religion in one’s life. I have followed this principle till today and I treat all religions with the same reverence. Excess or exhibition of Religion must be avoided. This is my opinion.

Today’s song is from the Mythological film Navdurga-1953.

!953 was a year Music ruled the films. Various genres were tried by filmmakers to attract the audience. After the Partition, the new blood flowing in all sections of filmmaking was trying new ideas and experiments. However, in all these changes, one genre still ruled the audience and that was the Religious films. Besides the “Golden Era of Film Music”, the 50’s were also the decade for the religious films. From 1951 to 1960, for a period of 10 full years, as many as 124 Mythological films were made, averaging one new religious film every month for 10 continuous years.

Navdurga-1953 is a story of Navratri and the power of Maa Shakti in 9 different forms. Navratri, literally a celebration of nine nights, is a festival that actually occurs once in every quarter, i.e. four times a year. Of these, the celebration that occurs in the month of Chaitra and the month of Ashwin are the better known and more popular Navratri celebrations. The Chaitra navratri ends with the celebration of Ram Navami, the birthday of Lord Ram. The Ashwin Navratri is followed on the next day by Dushehra, the celebration of the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana, the King of Lanka. Besides these two, the navratri celebrations also occur in the months of Aashaad and Paush / Maagh. These are also called the Gupt Navratri, or the lesser known or secret Navratri.

Mukesh and his Composers – 37

The name of SN Tripathi evokes fond memories of melody and good music amongst avid HF music lovers. He was a multitalented personality who contributed to composing, singing, acting, storytelling, direction, screenplay writing, filmmaking etc.

Despite contributions in many fields of film making, he is best known as a music director. He gave music to mainly B grade mythological and historical movies, but these movies had A grade songs for us to cherish.

‘Jaadoo Nagri’ (1961) was produced by Ram Dayal under the banner of Mukul Pictures and was directed by Radhakant. Cast included Ranjan, Vijaya Chowdhary, Ramayan Tiwari, Helen, Majnu, Kammo, Shammi, Mridula, Tuntun etc. The VCD of the film is available online but quality of both the video and audio is not good. A feature of this ‘black and white’ film is that all the songs have been picturised in colour.
