Before coming to the song, I would like to talk about the film itself. I remember going to see it at Chandragupt Talkies, one of the then popular single screen cinemas of Indore with my brother and enjoying this movie. That cinema is long gone like many other single screens but I still remember the josh of going to that huge cinema hall. Indore which came in the MP circle used to have this unique thing that the cinemas would get displayed on Thursdays (most other circles actually screened the movie the next day on the Friday). There would be huge queues to do advance bookings in those cinemas. Sometimes, we would have to request passing by girls and ladies to stand in the ladies queue to get tickets fast!

Today’s song is from a social film Chand Tara-1945.

1945 was the year when the devastating II World War ended and the film industry heaved a sigh of relief. Many irksome regulations were relaxed. There was no force now to make Propaganda films for war, no shortage of Raw Film and plenty of Finance available through black money, generated during the war times. However, the year saw only 73 Hindi films made.

One of the most successful and famous film directors of Hindi films- Bimal Roy had a beginning in 1945. He was the director of the Bangla film “Udayer Pathe”, based on the story by Jyotirmoy Roy. It was remade in Hindi as ” Humrahi”. Both versions became Hit films. Thus a cameraman and editor Bimal Roy emerged as a big name in Hindi films. He got this opportunity as New theatres, Calcutta had dried up with its ace and famous directors, who left the company and had marched towards Bombay, even when NT was downhill. This film was also noteworthy because Tagore’s “Jana Gana Mana” was used in the film Humrahi-1945, which later on became India’s National Anthem (though it was written by Tagore to please and welcome King George V, on his visit to India in 1911).

A Very Happy Holi celebration to all.

Well yes, coming at almost the end of the celebration day. But the greetings and good wishes are being delivered with a one year warranty, valid for a full year, till we come to the next instalment of this celebration.

Maybe many folks did not notice it, but this year’s occurrence of this festival of colours is likely the most rare and unique play out of the celebrations ever. At least I do not remember having encountered this version of the celebration ever in my life. And I would like to hear from the readers, if anyone else has. Like a few other things that happen once in life, this celebration of Holi is once in a lifetime experience.

So let me tell you what is rare and unique about this year’s Holi. In normal circumstances, the Holi is an eight days affair, which is called the holashtak in regular parlance. On the seventh day of this period, we celebrate the Holika Dahan, with the lighting of a bonfire at sunset time. And then on the 8th day, the folks will have a play of colours and water, lot of dancing and music, lot of funny songs – and the folks will do a lot of acts and pranks which one will never think of doing on any of the rest of the 364 days of the year. And the saying that goes along with all that is – Bura Naa Maano Holi Hai – please don’t mind, today is Holi.

A real prank that I remember in my family. Many years ago, when my elder sister had got married, and the first Holi celebration came around for the new couple, my mother invited them and the family members who could join, to come for tea and snacks to our home, during the Holi celebration hours. They came, we had arranged simple snacks and tea. And my mother, without even telling me or my dad, prepared some barfi at home. It was not barfi, it was kneaded maida flour, cut into barfi size pieces, with some elaichi daana stuck on it, giving a very real appearance of plain white barfi.  And served it at the end. After the tea, everyone picked up a piece, with the expected outcome of expressions and reactions – which were only controlled by us repeating the adage – Bura Naa Maano Holi Hai.

Ah but I digress. We want to know about the rare peculiarity of this years Holi celebration. Well, for the first time in my memory, a Lunar eclipse has intervened, and that too on the very day of the full moon, which is the final day of the Holi – the one celebrated with water and colours. So in keeping with the ancient wisdom of this land, the astrology and the panchaang and the pundits in temples disallowed the playing of water and colour Holi on the day it was supposed to be. And said that the water and colour Holi be celebrated on the day next to the full moon day. To the children and regular followers of this festival, did that make any difference? Not at all. It just meant that everybody got one extra day of celebrating the Holi. So actually this year’s Holi was celebrated today, on the officially first day of the next lunar fortnight cycle.

Ah but then, you will ask, what is the big deal. Well the big deal is not really a big deal – it is a mid sized deal. 😀

Under regular circumstances, discounting the Holashtak effect, there are two days Holi is played – one is called chhoti Holi and the other is called badi Holi. That we are all familiar with.
And this year – well, a new concept got introduced – that of majhli Holi – the day of Holi in between. I was taken by surprise yesterday when memes started flowing in the morning congratulating me on the first-time-in-life celebration of majhli Holi.  😀

Today’s song is from the very first decade of Hindi films – a song from film ‘Aurat’ from 1940. ‘Aurat’ is a magnum opus by producer director Mehboob, a much celebrated film of its era, that was remade by Mehboob himself, as a significantly more celebrated and iconic film in 1957 –‘Mother India’. The latter creation also carries within its list of songs one of the most celebrated Holi songs of all times – “Holi Aayee Re Kanhaai Rang Barse Sunaa De Zaraa Baansuri”.

The song for today is created by Dr. Safdar Aah Sitapuri, and it is tied into the scintillating threads of music by Anil Biswas. One of the cases where the video of the film is available. The song is a chorus only song. Although the Geet Kosh lists Anil Biswas as one singer, the song itself does not exhibit any solo singing portion.

Once again, greetings to all on today’s celebration of this colourful festival, delivered with a warranty of one year, till we get to the Holi festival in 2027. Enjoy.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 93

“Ek Kadvi Ek Meethi” by Asha Bhosle is from the movie “Kaanch Aur Heera” (1972). It was written and composed by Ravindra Jain. I think it was his first released film.

“Kaanch Aur Heera” (1972) was produced by Sudarshan Chitra and directed by Charandas Shokh. The lead actors were new to the industry, namely Pankaj and Shameem. Other in the cast were Rajan Haksar, Kamal Kapoor, Manmohan etc.

The film is so obscure that I couldn’t find the story of this movie, although I had seen it in one of its re-runs.

Today’s song is from a Religious film- Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu-1953.

Consequent to the grand success of the film BAIJU BAWRA-1952, the Prakash Pictures of the Bhatt brothers came out of its financial crisis, making a handsome profit and regaining its fame. For their next film, they repeated the Hero of Baiju Bawra – Bharat Bhushan and resorted again to their comfort zone of Religious/Mythological film Genre.

For a change, this time they opted for a story on a Saint from Eastern India. They hoped, perhaps, to recapture the Hindi film market in the Eastern Territory, which had suffered due to the closed outflow of Hindi films from New Theatres, Calcutta, which was on the verge of closing down totally. To attract the East India audience,they even hired R.C.Boral- one of the major supporters of New Theatres from its beginning- as the Music Director of this film.

Today’s song in this post is from the 1964 movie ‘Bhakt Dhruv Kumar’. Today I am presenting the third song from this movie. Though I had not got to listen to the songs from this movie earlier, but few months back I had shared a song from this movie which I liked very much. This song is another wonderful song and I wonder why it was not posted earlier on this blog.
