Hullo Atuldom

Wishing all the followers of the blog a Happy Dassehra. Happy Vijayadashmi. A day which is the culmination of the Sharada Navaratri. Navaratri means nine nights & Vijayadashmi is the 10th day when all the festivities reach a finale.

Much of North India would have had Raam-Leela as part of the festivities & we will witness Ravan-Dahan on the 10th day.

In West India we have the Devi installed in the form of Ambemaa with Aarthis, Garba & Dandiya forming the part of celebrations. Recently, I learnt that the Dandiya-sticks are representative of the weapons that were used by Ambemaa (Durga Maa) in her battle against the Rakshasaa “Mahishasura”.

We in this blog have achieved several milestones, but this milestone is something in its own league. Today we are celebrating a humongous individual milestone. With this post, Lata Mangeshkar reaches 4000 songs as a playback singer in this blog !

More than one decade ago, She had touched 1000 songs in the blog as the blog itself touched 3000 songs. Imagine, today she alone touches 4000 songs in the blog.

I had run a series on Lata Mangeshkar’s songs (yearwise) in the blog. That series, which ran every monday for 63 weeks (viz for one year and three months). In that series we had an indepth look at the list of songs that Lata Mangeshkar had sung in Hindi movies.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film ‘Subhadra’-1946.

The genre of Mythological films was one of the most favourite one of the filmmakers from the day filmmaking started in India. If you remember, even the first ever silent film made by Dadasaheb Phalke- Raja harishchandra-1913 – was based on King Harishchandra’s story from the Vishnu Puran. This was because the Indian culture was such that irrespective of the caste and creed, everyone liked to see these stories which they heard from several generations. In those years, the Hindu population of India was 85 % ( as per 1921 Census). Steadily, these types of films became less and less and by 1990 onwards, as far as I know, there were no Mythological films worth mentioning.

Today’s song is from a film which most readers may not be aware of. The film is Hindustan hamara-1950.

But then there are many such films which come and go, without a flutter. so, not surprised that you don’t remember any such film. But have you heard the name of Paul Zils ? No / O.K. Last chance now. Have you ever heard the name of Walter Kauffman ? No ?

Today’s song is a rare song from the film Shakuntala-1943. I had been searching for this song for many years. I really do not know why it was not available on social media. Finally, I got its audio version from Deepak Chaudhari ji and as usual it was uploaded for me by our friend Sadanand Kamath ji. I thank both of them. This is the last and final song of this film.
