Today’s song is from an imaginary stunt/costume film Sair E Paristan-1958.
When this film came in theatres, I had first thought that the title was Sair E Pakistan, but then I realised that it was Paristan and not Pakistan ! I wonder even today as to why such types of Stunt/ Costume films had stories or rather cookes up silly stories had almost always a Muslim background ? Maybe because such stories were suitable for a background of Middle East countries only and no one would question their credibility. It is also possible to make the stories look like those from the Arabian Night stories. Anyway, the audience of such films never thought of all these things. All that they wanted was fighting, a few ‘Dil Tod’ dances, flashy dresses, big palaces and more daredevil stunts !

Today’s song is from a social film- Fashionable wife-1959.
Very few know that there was an interesting film of the same title- Fashionable wife in 1938 also. I called it interesting, because its Hero- Sardar Gul, came from Calcutta and did a role in the film Said e hawas-1936, made by Sohrab Modi’s film company ” Stage Films”. Sohrab Modi gave the Hero a screen name of Chandra Kumar. Actually, the film was only a shooting of the very popular stage play of the same name. Sardar Gul was promised Rs. 200 for this film. However the film flopped miserably and Modi refused to pay him more than Rs. 50 only. Enraged, he threw the money on Modi’s face and left for Calcutta. After 2 years he returned to Bombay, with a new screen name Anil Kumar and acted in the film Fashionable wife. He went on to do more than 30 films till 1964.
Similarly, the film Fashionable wife-1959 was also interesting. The heroine of the film- Jaymala was the wife of the producer director , B.K.Adarsh. She had done few films earlier, but being the wife of the producer she was made a Heroine, as it was all a ” Ghar ka mamla” ! She was neither very beautiful nor a very good actress. This is how Nepotism existed in Hindi films for a long time.

#The Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————
Today’s song is from the 1962 movie ‘Rashtraveer Shivajee’. I had come across this song recently when I was presenting patriotic songs during Republic Day celebrations. I was looking for songs that praise our national heroes, freedom fighters, and the many unsung heroes who fought the battle for freedom. Before the Britishers our country was invaded by various alien rulers. These rulers tried to dominate the native people by crossing all limits of cruelty, killing them, making them slaves, by converting their faith and religion. However, from time to time there have been courageous and brave sons and daughters of this land who fought to protect the native people of this country. They included rulers from various regions as well as people like Shivaji who created their own kingdom- or ‘Hindavee Swaraajya’ and gave fierce fights to rulers like Moghuls.

Today’s song is from the maiden film Hotel-1956. The film was made by Bright Light Productions, Bombay.
After the II World War, a lot of Black Money came into the film industry. People having this type of unaccounted money were on the look out for investing it clandestinely so that they could earn legitimate profit on it and a part of their money could become White. Many times it was also a way to show huge losses and escape from the Income tax levies. In addition, Film industry glamour was an added attraction. Moving and mixing with well known stars and the late night parties where wine and women were freely available were very alluring too. some of such financiers had an ambition to become Director or an actor and their ill gotten money was helpful to fulfil such desires. So, during the period of 1946 to the mid-50’s, one can find few ‘onetime’ directors and actors in the credits of films. In the Geet kosh, one will find the column of ‘producer’ blank in many such films, as remaining anonymous was an early escape from drawing attention.

#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.

Today’s song is from the ‘1959’ movie ‘Saahil’.
I recall becoming aware of this title while going throough HFGK Vol-III (1951-1960) during my stay at Nagpur. I would regularly browse through the IIIrd volume of HFGK for the decade 1951-1960 those days(2015-2017). After that I went to Kenya for a project which lasted around three years. I came back after completion of the project in December’2019. Since then, I am more or less sharing songs from seventies and eighties, sometimes end of sixties. Songs of 1950s have become few and far between.

Today’s song is a foot tapping song from the film Fashionable wife-1959.
Nepotism, Corruption and Lack of Nationalism are the 3 ills common to most Indians. These things have been so common that not only now they are deep rooted in our behaviour, but also we have stopped considering them as vices anymore. They are a part of our life in many ways.
