Today’s song is from a Remake film from the South- Sansar-1951.
The film was made by S.S.Vasan for his own banner Gemini Pictures, Madras. It was also directed by him. There were 3 MDs – M.D.Parthasarathy, E. Shankar Sastri and B.S.Kalla. All the songs were composed jointly by Shankar and Kalla. As per Vasan’s system, Parthasarathy was in the team as a Supervisor.
The cast was a mixed one. The leading pair Pushpavalli and M.K.Radha and majority of other artists were from the original south film. A few artists were from Hindi films like Gulab, Mohana Cabral, Meera, Agha , David, Casshyap and Anil Kumar were taken to give the film a Hindi touch.
Till 1947, Hindi films were made mostly in Bombay, Lahore, Calcutta, Kolhapur and Poona. Most studios were located in these cities.South Indian language films were made mainly in Madras and Bangla films were made in Calcutta and Dhaka. The Partition in 1947 changed the picture completely.Wholesale polarisation took place.Producers of Hindi films had to flee from Lahore,leaving everything behind them and some artistes from Bombay left for Pakistan.Thus,after Partition,the exclusive centre for production of Hindi films was only Bombay.By 1950 things settled in India and Pakistan Film Industry.
Telugu film producers shifted to Hyderabad,Kannada films to Bangalore and Malayalam to Kerala. Madras,however,still made films other than Tamil,like Telugu Hindi etc.But now it was only Remakes of successful Tamil films or dubbed films.The 50s saw many Hindi films dubbed from southern languages(Read Tamil/Telugu).Initially,they were Mythological,Fantasy or costume films.In the 60s,however, even social films were remade.
Film production in Madras is very methodical and professional.They make films as per plans and in planned time. For this reason,in the 60s to 80s many Hindi film actors volunteered to to make films in south.The producers in south too had their favourites.In the Music area,there were,Ravi,C.Ramchandra or Madan Mohan,for lyrics and story,Rajinder krishna and Pradeep,and preferred actors were Jeetendra,Rajendrakumar,Sunil Dutt and Mehmood.
Though Polarisation took place in film production,the attraction to come to Bombay and work here continued.Artistes from various centres still came to Bombay.
The biggest contribution came from Bengal,in music,direction and acting areas.Artistes from South tried their hand with Hindi films,either by Remade or dubbed films.Thus the greatest south actors like Sivaji Ganeshan, Gemini Ganeshan, M G Ramchandran,N T Rama Rao,A.Nageshwar Rao,Jailalita,Janaki,Susheela, Bhanumathi, Prem Nazir of the older gen and Rajanikanth,Kamal Hasan and Chiranjeevi from the next Gen were seen in Hindi films. Only Dr.Rajkumar,the Kannada Superstar never worked in Hindi films.In fact,except for just 1 Telugu film, Sri Kalahasti Mahatmyam-1954, Dr.Rajkumar never worked in any other language film.
In the music department also,many composers like K.Narayan rao, S.Rajeshwar rao,C R Subramanyam,E Shankar, R Sudershanam,Ramesh Naidu,Adi Narayanrao,Vishwanath-Rammurthy,Lingappa etc worked in Hindi films. There was one name from South,which was so famous,but it is surprising that he too gave music to Hindi Films.His name was Ghantasala.
The major difficulty for southern artists was speaking in Hindi. Due to this, they hesitated to work in Hindi films and instead, preferred dubbing their hit films in Hindi, released them on All India basis and hoped for becoming famous. Initially, in the period of the 50’s and 60’s decades, there was a spate of dubbed films, as well as some remade films in Hindi. Later on and now of course only hit films are remade in Hindi. The count of dubbed films has gone down considerably. These days, I find that even hit films of Hindi are also remade in southern languages.
Since the times when the adventurous S.S.Vasan-Producer, Director and Owner of Gemini Studios, made his film ” Chandralekha”- in Hindi in 1948 on a mammoth scale (with over 600 prints of the Hindi version for simultaneous release on All India basis on 24th December 1948), the Southern film industry woke up. After the film Chandralekha was successful, Vasan started making remakes of his Tamil hit films in Hindi one after another. When other filmmakers of the South saw Vasan busy doing this and visiting his bank very often with several bags full of money to deposit, they too joined the bandwagon !
Thus, the entire decades of the 50’s and the 60’s saw many films from South, in the form of Remakes of Southern Hit films, Dubbed or shot at Madras for the All India audience of Hindi films. After Vasan’s Gemini, A.V.Meiyyappan’s AVM, Nagi Reddy’s Vauhini Studios and L.V.Prasad’s Prasad productions gave many films, made with all Southern, all Bombay or a mixed cast of actors. Many major Heroes of South secretly nurtured a desire to shine in the Hindi belt. They joined this race. Actors like M.G.Ramchandran (MGR), N.T.Tama Rao (NTR), A.Nageshwar Rao (ANR), Sivaji Ganesan, Gemini Ganesan etc., actresses like Bhanumathy, Jayalalitha, Jamuna etc and character artistes like Relang, S.V.Ranga Rao etc appeared in Hindi films. ( A very loooong list of such remakes and dubbed films is available on IMDB ). Even today many Southern Hit films are remade or dubbed in Hindi and the addition is, many Hindi Hits are also remade in Southern languages. The West Bengal Film Industry which actually led this trend in the 30’s and the 40’s has fallen way behind now.
There is a very good and detailed article “The harsh reality of remake Culture….” written by Gaurang Chauhan. Interested readers can read it for information on http://www.mensxp.com
for an interesting history and its effects.
In 1950, L.V.Prasad produced and directed a film in Telugu- “Sansaram”-50. It became a popular and a hit film. S.S.Vasan, who was always on the lookout for good films, showed this film to his Studio staff in their Preview Theatre. The film made everyone weep in plenty. The story and songs were too good. Vasan immediately bought the remake rights of this film for Tamil and Hindi remakes.
As an experiment, Vasan kept the lead pair of Pushpvalli and M.K.Radha even for the Hindi version. He wanted to make these actors popular in Hindi also.( of course it never happened ). For all other roles there were hindi actors like Mohana, Meera, Agha, David, J.S.Kashyap etc etc. Among the actors we find even B.S.Kalla’s name. He was one of the Music Directors of this film. The main music director was E.Sankar Sastry. The music was supervised by D.Parthasarathi, who was a senior Music Director in the Gemini family. The tunes of all songs were kept the same in Tamil and Hindi versions.
As expected, the Tamil version became a hit film and the songs were also liked by the audience. The famous south Indian singer A.M.Raja made his debut with this film in Tamil. All his songs were sung by Talat Mehmood in the Hindi remake. One song ” Amma Roti de, baba roti de ” became very popular in all three versions. However, there was a lot of criticism in the Tamil media about this song. The critics claimed that no self respecting mother would ever send her children begging on the streets ( see the story ). This song in the Hindi version also became the most popular beggar song. Usually, Beggar songs are by male singers.
This Beggar song trend actually started from the film Pooran Bhakta-1933, in which the blind singer K.C.Dey had sung 2 Beggar songs- ‘ kya karan hai rone ka ‘ and ‘ Jao jao aye mere sadho raho guru ke sang ‘. The film Sansar Beggar song ‘ Amma Roti de ‘ was probably the first beggar song sung by a female ! This song did not create any ripples in the Hindi belt areas-unlike Tamil media. I guess the audience had accepted that anything can happen in melodramatic south films !
The female lead actress Pushpavalli was the second wife of actor Gemini Ganesan. Hindi famous actress Rekha is her daughter. Male lead actor M.K.Radha was a good actor. (there was another actor in Tamil M.R.Radha, who shot to fame when he fired at MGR and then tried to commit suicide ).
Though by 1951, Lata Mangeshkar had established herself as the Top leading female singer, she had never sung for a South film. ‘ Sansar’-51 was the first film in which Lata sang for a South film. She sang not 1 or 2 but 7 songs- 4 solos and 3 duets/with chorus.
The Music Director was E.Sankar Sastry along with B.S.Kalla. They composed jointly. This was his second Hindi film in Gemini. S.S.Vasan had a habit that in all Hindi remakes, he would appoint senior Music Director from Gemini, D.Parthasarathy, as a supervising Music Director on the team of other Music Directors. The composing and orchestration etc was done by the team. Parthsarathi would only help and supervise their work. here is some information on Emani Sankar Sastry, one of the MDs…
Emani Sankar Sastry was a very famous and renowned Veena player of International recognition. Born on 23-9-1922 in a small village of Andhra, he hailed from a family of celebrated classical musicians. He was trained in traditional Veena by several experts. He did independent concerts all over India.
He joined Gemini Studios in 1948 and stayed for 10 years as MD. During this period he was involved in the Music Direction of Hindi films like Mangala, Sansar, Bahut din huye, Mr. Sampat, Krishna Kanhaiya and Do Dulhe, as well as the English version of Chandralekha-48.
He joined A.I.R Madras in 1959 and rose to become Director and Chief Producer of Music. He won several awards including Academy award, Kala Parishad Award and Padma Shri. He played Veena in the Rome Festival and at UNESCO in New York. E.Sankar Sastry died in 1987.
Here is the story of ‘Sansar’-51, in short-
A struggling clerk lives with his wife and two children. Their blissful life is threatened with the arrival of his scheming mother and sister. A short time later, the clerk disappears, abandoning his family, and his brother comes to their rescue.
Exploiting the fragile situation, mischief makers suggest an immoral relationship between the clerk’s brother and wife. Frustrated, the clerk’s wife sends her two children to beg on the streets.
Several years later, the elder of the two children, now working in a mill, meets a bearded beggar who, unknown to him, is actually his father. He obtains his father a job in the mill, and the family later reunites.
Here is a song from this film,sung by V.Sarla, Geeta Roy and chorus. Enjoy….
Song- Hamee ne muhabbat kee duniya basaayee (Sansaar)(1951) Singers-Singers- V.Sarla, Geeta Roy, Lyricist- Pt. Indra, MDs- M.D.Partasarathi, B.S.Kalla and E.Sankar Sastry

Tum ko paaya hai to jaise khoya hoon
Kehna chaahoon tum se bhi to kya kahoon
Kisi zabaan mein bhi wo lafz hi nahin
Ke jin mein tum ho kya tumhen bataa sakoon
Main agar kahoon tum saa haseen
Kaayenaat mein nahin hai kaheen
Ta’areef yeh bhi to sach hai kuchh bhi nahin
How can an emotion, an achievement, a lacking, a statement, a praise, an expression of being lost, are to be expressed in a few lines? This mukhda of the song in “Om Shanti Om” is a perfect example. It says quite plainly that there are not words to be found in any language to describe you, i.e. the heroine. It is not just her beauty, the hero wants to praise. It is the essence of the person, that he is unable to describe.
In the stanza, her attributes are detailed as shokhiyon, adaayen, zulf, aanchal, roop ki chaandni etc. also dilkashi. But these words are just not enough to say what the hero wants to say. I have seen this film, but cant recall the whole story. Will have to see this once more to refresh the memory.

Today’s duet composition by Rahul Dev Burman is from the movie ‘Khule-Aam-1992’. This movie was directed by Arun Dutt for ‘Guru Dutt Films, Bombay’. It was produced by Tarun Dutt and Arun Dutt.

This movie Khule-Aam was passed by the Censor Board on 23.04.1992. I was staying at Kota (Rajasthan) at that time. I am not sure whether I watched this movie at that time. When I was looking for movies from the year 1992 with music by Rahul Dev Burman, I came across this movie. Since I was looking for a duet song I zeroed in on this song. Listening to this song came as a real pleasant surprise. The song sounds familiar to me whihc means I may have heard this song in the past.

Today’s song is sung by Sadhna Sargam and Gautam Roy. The song is picturised on Neelam and Chunky Pandey lip-syncing in the voices of Sadhna Sargam and Gautam Roy respectively.
This movie marks the debut for singer Gautam Roy in the blog. Audio of this movie was released by Weston. Let us listen to this wonderful magical Pancham composition and welcome ‘Khule-Aam -1992’ on this blog.

Today’s song is the last and final song from the film Sindbaad the Sailor aka Sindbad Jahazi-1952.
1952 was a year which was going through a lean period for Hindi films. Increased costs of Film production, escalating rates of stars and music Directors, establishment of Star System in place of earlier Studio System, increasing taxes, decreasing number of Cinema Halls etc caused a worry in the film industry. Financiers with Black money were making films – in 1952 the number of Hindi films made went up to 105 from 97 of 1951, but dropped again to 98 in 1953. Most films were of lower quality. Because of superior music there were some great films too, but the situation was grave nevertheless.

Remembering Nalini Jayawant (18/02/1926 – 20/12/2010) on the occasion of her 100th birth anniversary today, February 18, 2026. She was one of the top actress of the golden period of 1950s of Hindi films. Unfortunately, like Suraiya, Nalini Jaywant also took early retirement from films when her films of the 1960s failed one after another. Once voted as a most photogenic face of Hindi films, she spent her post-retirement life as a recluse to such an extent that her death on December 20, 2010, got noticed only after a couple of days.
Nalini Jaywant had two distinct phases of her filmy career. The first phase began with her debut film ‘Radhika’ (1941) produced by Chimanbhai Desai and directed by his son, Virendra Desai. In this film, she sang for herself. Her second film to release was Mehboob Khan’s ‘Bahen’ (1941) where she was paired with Sheikh Mukhtar in the role of his younger sister. This was followed by ‘Nirdosh’ (1941) with Mukesh, ‘Aankh Michauli’ (1942) with Satish Batra and ‘Aadab Arz’ (1943) with Karan Diwan. These films did not work out good in the box office front but Nalini Jaywant established herself in the Hindi film industry as an accomplished actress.
Sometime in 1945, Nalini Jaywant married Virendra Desai who was already married with children. This was not liked by his father, Chimanbhai Desai who expelled Virendra Desai from the house and removed him from his film production company, Amar Films. Later, Nalini Jaywant and Virendra Desai signed a 2-year contract with Filmistan, as an actress and as a director, respectively. However, both of them did not get any assignment during the period of contract. This gap was long enough for the film industry to forget their existence. Once the contract with Filmistan came to an end, Nalini Jaywant and Virendra Desai jointly produced ‘Gunjan’ (1948) which failed at the box. Soon Nalini Jaywant divorced Virendra Desai in 1948.
The second phase of Nalini Jaywant’s filmy career started with ‘Anokha Pyaar’ (1948) with Dilip Kumar and Nargis. This film gave her new lease of life in her filmy career. Film critics praised her in the role of a flower girl. ‘Shikast’ (1953) was a milestone in her career in which she paired with Dilip Kumar. She got a rare praise from Dilip Kumar for her brilliant performance in the film.
The real take off in her filmi career came from ‘Samaadhi’ (1950) in which she paired with Ashok Kumar for the first time. This was followed by another big success for her in ‘Sangraam’ (1950), once again pairing with Ashok Kumar. The success of Ashok Kumar-Nalini Jaywant combination resulted in both working together in as many as 11 films during 1950-58.
The box office success of ‘Naastik’ (1954) in which she was paired with Ajit resulted her working with Ajit in 11 films. Her pairing with Dev Anand in ‘Munimji’ (1955) and with Shammi Kapoor in ‘Ham Sab Chor Hain’ (1956) resulted in box office success of these films. For her performance in ‘Kala Paani’ (1958) with Dev Anand, she got the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress award. But after this film, Nalini Jaywant did not have films much to talk about. From the beginning of the 1960s, film offers started declining. Many new leading actresses like Asha Parekh, Sadhana and Saira Bano had joined the film industry.
The box office failure of ‘Amar Rahe Ye Pyaar’ (1961) jointly produced by Radhakrishan and Prabhu Dayal and directed by Prabhu Dayal financially broke both of them. While Radhakrishan committed suicide, Prabhu Dayal who by that time had married Nalini Jaywant, became an alcohol addict. ‘Bombay Racecourse’ (1965) was virtually her last film in a lead role though, Toofan Main Pyaar Kahaan; (1966) was her last released film in the lead role. After the release of these two films, she had almost retired from her filmy career until she accepted character roles in two films, ‘Bandish’ (1980) and ‘Naastik’ (1983).
In a rare interview of Nalini Jaywant published in the Deccan Herald after her death in 2010, she regretted that she could get to show her acting prowess only in films like ‘Anokha Pyaar’ (1948), ‘Sangraam’ (1950), ‘Shikast’ (1953), ‘Raahi’ (1953) and ‘Kaala Paani’ (1958). She said that she was not interested in making a comeback in films when the offer came for a character role in ‘Naastik’ (1983). But she had to accept it after many requests from Pran and Promod Chakravarty.
Nalini Jayawant died of a heart attack but was found dead after 3 days of her death in her bungalow by neighbours, due to the continuing howling by her two pet dogs. She was staying alone after the death of her husband, Prabhu Dayal in 2001 and was leading a life of a recluse with a couple of pet dogs to give her the company. A distant relative of her is said to have taken her body on a municipal ambulance and cremated her.
On the occasion of Nalini Jaywant’s 100th birth anniversary, I have selected a song from ‘Toofaan Mein Pyaar Kahaan’ (1966), her last film in the lead role and also her last film with Ashok Kumar in lead roles. I had already given the film’s detailed story in my article while covering one of its song, le pee zaraa aur pee. The gist of the story is as under:
Shamu (Ashok Kumar) is a truck driver of Mahajan (Tiwari), a smuggler who indulges in business of smuggled good across the border with Sikkim. He lives in a den with Mahajan and others when they are not on duty. Although Shamu feels bad about serving Mahajan for his smuggling activities, he has to do this for taking care of Rami (Achala Sachdev), a Tibetan and her daughter as promised by him at the time of the death of her husband.
In a different village, Shanta (Nalini Jaywant) is being readied to depart for her marriage with Raimohan (Tarun Bose) against her wish. She runs away from the house. Shamu gives her shelter in his den in an adjoining room with a condition that she should find a different place to stay as his den is full of bad people. Shanta finds Shamu a kind-hearted person. Next day, Mahajan visits the den, Shanta introduces herself as the wife of Shamu for her own safety. Pulma (Jayshree Gadkar), who runs a tea shop and is in love with Shamu, does not believe that Shanta is Shamu’s wife. By now Shamu has fallen in love with Shanta and has decided to propose her for the marriage. One day, Shamu visits her room to propose her for the marriage. He sees a letter written by Raimohan to Shanta about their impending marriage. He assumes that Shanta is in love with Raimohan, and he has no right to ask for hand in marriage. Next morning, before Shanta could explain to Shamu about Raimohan, she finds that Shamu has left the place with Pulma.
Raimohan with the help of Mahajan conspire to kidnap Shanta to sell her across the border at a high price. Shanta now takes shelter in Rami’s house from where she is kidnapped by Raimohan and Mahajan. When Shamu comes to know about Shanta’s kidnapping, he takes out his truck with Pulma and follows the jeep in which Shanta is being taken. While driving on a jig jag hill road, the jeep roles down from road to valley killing Shanta, Raimohan and Mahajan. While consoling Shamu, Pulma reiterates her love for him.
The film had eight songs written by Prem Dhawan which were set to music by Chitragupt. Three songs have been covered on the Blog. On the occasion of the 100th birth anniversary of Nalini Jaywant, I am presenting a song, ‘jaane kaisa hai ye pyaar’ rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and picturised on Nalini Jaywant.
The context of the song is that after Shamu (Ashok Kumar) gives shelter to a runaway girl Shanta (Nalini Jaywant) in his den, she has started liking him for his kind heartedness which soon turns into her love for him. But she is not sure whether he loves her. In this song, Shanta expresses her feelings toward Shamu and doubts whenter Shamu knows about her feelings toward him. Later, she comes to know about his reciprocal feelings toward her through Pulma (Jayshree Gadkar). With this, Shanta expects that Shamu would propose her in his next meeting. Shamu does come to her room with the intention of proposing her. However, in her room, Shamu gets a letter to read which is a letter written by Raimohan (Tarun Boase) to Shanta about their impending marriage. He assumes that Shanta is in love with Raimohan, and he has no right to ask for her hand in marriage. Before she could explain the reality, Shamu has left his place of dwelling.

Today’s song is from the social film Parichay-1954.
Selection of an apt and fitting Title for the film, which makes a statement on the film’s content, has always been a daunting challenge to filmmakers. There are many film titles which are appropriate, but more titles are far off from the film’s content, misleading the viewers. Parichay-1954 is one such film. The film tries to glorify the sanctity of a marriage and how it should be carried on, but its title does not have any connection with this philosophy.
The film was produced by Radheshyam Jhunjhunwalla under his own banner, J.J.Films, Bombay. It was directed by an expert director- Satyen Bose. The music to the film’s 8 songs was shared by Sailesh Mukherjee and Vedpal Verma. The cast of the film was Shashikala, Abhi Bhattacharya, Pranoti Ghosh (wife of Abhi Bhattacharya in real life), Sajjan (Purohit), Zebunnisa (an actress from the silent era), Panchotia, Shakuntala, Indira Chitnis, Dhumal, Kesarbai (elder sister of actress Indira Wadkar and paternal aunt of actress Hansa Wadkar) and others. Songs were written by Keshav (5) and Akhtar Yusuf(2).
