I am not good at remembering important dates, as I have often mentioned in my posts. But these are the days of internet and I log on to my email account daily so messages in my inbox remind me about important dates, viz. birthdays of one’s facebook friends. Note to forgetful husbands- make your wife your facebook friend. That way you will not forget her birthday. 🙂

How nice it would be to be pampered as soon as you get up-with scores of attendants waiting upon you? Ah, indulgence. Mumtaz I envy you ?
Well, I am not crazy. But just crazy about a song from “Samson” in which Mumtaz is the lady who is the privileged one. The picturization shows a princess getting from her bed. A princess whose bed is made up of light and soft feathers, with satin sheets and all ……. A horde of lady attendants waiting on her before she even opens her eyes! The attendants runs up and down fetching her an overcoat, soft/comfy slippers etc. On top of it, there is a lady, Ameeta, singing to her a kind of suprabhaat. Our princess gets praised for her beauty and her youth early in the morning just like the Gods get praised for their magnanimity and benevolence. There is a tinge of sadness in the singer’s expressions which is ever so slight. Does she have dreams of her own pleading with God and is she like a worshipper whose entreaties are shoved to a corner by the Almighty?? May be so ?

A grade music in B grade movies- this has by now become a common refrain while discussing many of the songs in this blog. B grade movies had their own big name musi directors, and one of the biggest such names was undoubtedly Chitragupta.

Put together the year 1964, the names like Dara Singh, Ameeta, Feroze Khan, Mumtaz, King Kong, Tiger Jogender, a director by the name Nanabhai Bhatt, and a film title like Samson. And here is a ready recipe for a B/C grade stunt film. The name and presence of Dara Singh could well have been the saving grace of this film, in the local B/C grade cinema halls circuit, and likewise the name of the film does not sound so unfamiliar. But then, pour into this mix some lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and some melodious tunes by Chitragupt. Well now, the recipe does turn out to be more interesting, for now at least we are assured there will be some good music coming along with the stunts. Mind not the situations and the people who would perform these pieces of music on screen, the promise of some good songs will not be turned down.

I have watched many old actors only in black and white movies. So it was quite a pleasant suprise to see Ameeta, one of the more lovable leading ladies of 1950s and 1960s in colour, and that too in a B grade movie.
