Today’s song is from the social film Sona-1948. This is one of those films, about which no information is available like its story etc. Only HFGK provides the basic information like cast, songs etc.

Sona is Gold. It is a very valuable and costly metal. But Hindi filmmakers did not think so, as films with Titles having the word Sona are only 2. One is today’s film and the other was Sona Chandi-1946. There were 11 film titles starting with the words Sone Ki, Ka, Pe etc. There was one film Chandi Sona in 1977. IMDB details say that the film Sona-1948 was one of the Hit films of 1948.

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
—————————————————————

The song in this post is from an eighty-four year old movie ‘Shobha-1942’. Music for this movie was composed by Vasant Desai. When I saw that only one song from this movie have been posted on this blog so far, it piqued my interest to look for other songs from this movie. The other reason is the composer i.e. Vasant Desai. I love his music and there are many songs composed by him which I like very much. So, today I am presenting the second song from this movie ‘Shobha-1942’.

This movie ‘Shobha-1942’ was directed by Kumarsen Samarth for ‘Wadia Movietone, Bombay’. It was a ‘social movie’. The cast of this movie had Shobhna Samarth, Shahu Modak, Kusum Deshpande, Karan Deewan, Sulochana Chatterjee, Vimal Sardesai, David, Jaal Khambhata, Putlibai, Master Chhotu and others.

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.
