Today’s song is from a very old film, His Highness-1937.

The film was made by Prakash Pictures, Bombay, who were intomaking B and C grade stunt and costume films, till they made Mythological films, starting with ” Bharat Milap”-1942 and their luck changed. This film, based on a Ramayana story became a Hit and Prakash Pictures found a Gold Mine !. They made another film on Ramayana – Ram-Rajya-1943 and this became a blockbuster, breaking many records all over India. The pair of Prem Adib as Ram and Shobhana Samarth as Seeta became All India famous and Prakash changed their production stance. They started making social and religious films which made them a successful film company.

The film His Highness-1937 was a Costume film. It had nothing new in the story except that along with the human star cast it also used animals like Dogs (Tiger and Tommy) and a Horse (Bahadur), which made some difference. Hitherto only the Wadia Movietone had used different types of animals in their stunt films. The film was directed by Balwant Bhatt. He was the elder brother of director Nanabhai Bhatt.

Today’s song is from the Cult film Ram Rajya-1943.

This is one film which I must have seen many times. I was too young when it was released, but in its “n’th run during the 1949 to 1954 period, I led the groups of seniors in the family to see the film several times. My friends used to laugh at me and ask if I was not bored. Honestly, I was never tired of seeing this film.

Today’s song is from a totally unknown film Krishna Bhakta Bodana-1944.

This was a film made by Wadia Movietone, exclusively owned now by the elder brother J.B.H.Wadia, after the younger brother left this jointly owned company, to start his own outfit. Being a Gujarati Parsee, no wonder Wadia wanted to make a film on a lesser known Gujarati Saint to attract the Gujarati audience. The film was directed by J.B.H.Wadia himself – with a gap of 9 years i.e. after his last directed film Noor-E-Yaman-1935. In all he directed 15 films. His last film was Saaj aur Sanam-1971. During this 9 year gap period, he wrote film stories, produced films and did overall management of Wadia Movietone.

Today’s song is from a famous Landmark film- Ram Rajya-1943.

1943 was an year in which the II world war was in full swing. Both sides were almost equal. The effects of the war on India were… it faced the infamous Bengal Famine, caused by the war profiteering. Controls on film production were tightened by the Government. I.P.T.A. became operative with its first staged play ‘ Nibanna’. Film Kismet became one of the biggests Hits ever.

Today’s song is the last song from the film ” Maha Pooja”-1954 to be covered here and thus making the film YIPPEED !

In the last 8 songs of this film, a lot of related matters, including its story, has been discussed. The film is about the well known story of The Satyanarayan Katha, its importance and how performing this Pooja can benefit the person doing it. This Pooja is perhaps one of the several common religious and cultural events performed in most parts of India. It is believed that it benefits not only the performer but also those who are present at the Pooja time and consume the Prasad. That is an invitation to attend a Satyanarayan Pooja is generally honoured by everyone.
