Today’s song is from a social film Hum Ek Hain-1969.

There were 3 films having this same title. They were made in 1946, 1969 and 1982. Like the same name confusion of artists, even the film titles of same name can cause confusion. This can be seen clearly if you see such films’ songs on Youtube. Well known music company SAREGAMA is well known for such confusion. When I was searching for a song from today’s film, I found a song, but it was labelled as from the film Hum Ek Hain-1946. Even photos from the 1946 film of the same title were shown on the song audio. Since the song’s mukhada and the singers’ names were as mentioned in HFGK for the 1969 song, I heard the entire song and confirmed from the lyrics that actually it was from the film Hum ek hain-1969.

This is the reason I tell people to ensure mentioning the correct year of the film along with the title, to avoid such confusion.

Today’s song is from a social film, with an intriguing title – Anban-1944.

Hindi film titles are sometimes funny and sometimes confusing. Funny, we can understand but confusing titles can cause problems. I can understand the same titles for films. There are hundreds of such examples. Same titled films can be found from 2 to 7 films. Yes. Film title ” Insaaf” was used for 7 films from 1937 to 1997 – one each in every decade !

When titles are similar but not exactly the same, they can still cause confusion. Here are some examples….. Aajkal and Aaj aur kal, Aarsi and Aarti, Shadi ke baad and Shadi se pehle, Agent 1-2-3, Agent 777 and Agent 999, Lagaan and Lagaam, Daanaa Paanee and Dana Pani etc etc.

Today’s film also falls in this category. There was a film called Aanbaan and this is Anban. For several years I was confused, but when I read in a Film magazine that this is Un-bun pronounced as “अन-बन ” (discord or rift in English), my confusion was cleared. (Aanbaan means dignity or pride in English).

“Suhaag” (1979) was a film produced by Rajinder Kumar Sharma, Ramesh Sharma, Shakti Subhash Sharma, Prakash Trehan and directed by Manmohan Desai. The story writer was Prayag Raj, K.K. Shukla was the screenplay writer & the dialogues carried the trademark of Kadar Khan – every dialogue in the film matched the mood that Manji (as Manmohan Desai was fondly addressed by his friends & admirers) envisioned for his films. Laxmikant-Pyarelal were the music directors for songs that were written by Anand Bakshi. Shailendra Singh, Mohd Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Anwar were the playback singers used for the songs. The song ‘main toh beghar hoon’ had Shashi Kapoor mouth a few words, hence he is also credited in the list of playback singers.
