Maan gayi main ab maan gayi
Posted on: December 7, 2011
“Duhaai” (1943) is an extremely obscure movie by now. Little information is available about this movie now. From the little that I have been able to dig about this movie (from imdb), it was directed by V M Vyas. Some of the actors of this movie were Ansari, Shanta Apte, Noorjahaan,Butt Kasar, M Kumar etc.
The songs of this movie are equally obscure. But what songs !
Here is a rare song from this movie. What a lively and wonderful song it is ! It sounds far ahead of the times in which it was created.
This song is sung by Shanta Apte and Rafiq Ghaznavi. Bharat Vyas is the lyricist. Rafiq Ghaznavi is the music director as well.
Seeing that Shanta Apte (one of my favourite artists of that era) was the lead actress of this movie, the song was obviously picturised on her. I have no idea about the male actor who lip syncs in Rafiq Ghaznavi’s voice. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie as well as on the songs of this movie.
Song-Maan gayi main ab maan gayi (Duhaai)(1943) Singers-Shanta Apte, Rafiq Ghaznavi, Lyrics-Bharat Vyas, MD-Rafiq Ghaznavi
Lyrics
Maan gayi main
maan gayi main
ab maan gayi
ho daiyya re
ab maan gayi
maan gayi main
maan gayi main
ab maan gayi
ho daiyya re
ab maan gayi
maan gayi
ab bhool kabhi na karna
ab bhool kabhi na karna
nirwahan na jhoothaa dharna
tori yaad se main
tori yaad se main
pehchaan gayi
pehchaan gayi
ab maan gayi
o daiyya re
ab maan gayi
maan gayi main
maan gayi main
ab maan gayi
o daiyya re
ab maan gayi
maan gayi
ik baat meri tum maanoge
ik baat meri tum maanoge
in donon ka byaah rachaa do
in donon ka byaah rachaa do
inhen dulha dulhan banaa do
inhen dulha dulhan banaa do
ho ho
o miyaan idhar to aao
o miyaan idhar to aao
ho nanad na sharmaao
ho nanad na sharmaao
lo donon haath milaao
lo donon haath milaao
ab mauj karo
ab mauj karo
aulaad jano
aulaad jano
do do bachchon ke baap bano
nahin
chhe chhe bachchon ke baap bano
ab maan gayi
ab maan gayi
ho daiyya re
ab maan gayi
maan gayi main
maan gayi main
ab maan gayi
ho daiyya re
ab maan gayi

Atul ji,
DUHAI-1943 is really a very rare film.No information will be available about it on the net.
However,.I remember this film clearly for 2 reasons-
1. It was advertised as a Romantic Thriller and
2. Two well known top singers of the times Shanta Apte and Noorjehan were acting together for the first and last time,so it was a musical treat.
This was a Sunrise picture presentation and the Director was V.M.Vyas,who together with Mohanlal Dave also wrote the story and screenplay.The dialogues were by a newcomer Zia Sarhadi.
The cast was Shanta Apte,Noorjehan,Mirza Musharraf,Butt kaiser,kumar,Ansari,Zarina,kesari etc..
There were 3 Music Directors in this film,namely Rafiq Gaznavi,Pannalal Ghosh and Shanta Kumar.All lyrics were by Bharat Vyas.
The story was that a rural beauty Neela(Shanta Apte) loves the urbane Rajinder(M.Kumar) and they decide to get married against the wishes of Neela’s father Jugal Babu(Ansari).This Jugal knows a secret.The father of Rajinder had tried to seduce Neela’s mother and was murdered by Neela’s brother Basant(Butt Kaiser).Since then Basant is in hiding only.
It so happens that Urvashi(Noorjehan) a famous singer and Dancer falls for Rajinder and wants to marry him.
Neela’s father tells her,should she marry Rajinder,she should never reveal about Basant killing his father.Neela is in dialemma.
The entire film revolves round this theme and is solved in the end,resulting in Basant going to Jail,Neela and Rajinder getting married and everybody being happy.

Arun ji,
Let me be the first one to congratulate you on the century of a completely different kind that you have achieved today on this blog. As I understand, the descriptive note on the film Duhaai (1943) that you have posted above is the 100th such note over the past few months.
I have said it before and I will repeat today – I simply cannot cease to be amazed by the storehouse of information relating to films of the yesteryears. Especially the films that are obscure, unheard of, and for which there is no information available elsewhere. It is so appropriate that Atul ji refers to you as “our in house encyclopedia on film information”. Your breadth of knowledge is marvellous, and in the past you have helped to sort out various queries and differences of opinions on multiple occasions. I, and I am sure there are other readers of this blog, who look forward for your comments to come in as soon as any queries are posted as part of write ups or comments. As is the case for this write up, it is really a treat to be able to receive some information about a film as obscure and rare as Duhaai (1943). Our reference is limited to the Geet Kosh, where we can get some factual information. The larger part of the information, which is the synopsis of the film, plus other information about the film and the artists etc., we owe it to you for posting it.
Thank you so much for being the source of so much information that many of us are hungry for, and for your kindness to share it. 🙂
Congratulations again.

Sudhir ji,
Thank you for your flattering comments,which I do not know if they are well deserved !
I have been writing about old films in this blog for last almost one and half year or so.Most of the films were seen by me or atleast I had some first hand info about them.The habit of writing notes after every movie-cast,story,some special point etc-and reading related books in various languages must have helped me.
It is not that I am always right,sometimes I have slipped too,but then it is one of the dangers built into this hobby.My friends like you are always there to help me for corrections.
I thank Atul ji for providing a platform for my expressions and I thank you for consistently appreciating me like a true connoisseur,thus encouraging me to continue.
I also thank others like,Prakash ji,Lalita ji,Kamath ji,Nahm ji,Memsaab ji,Peeveesee’s mom ji and Raja ji for kind words from time to time.There are many more unmentioned friends to whom I say Thanks.

The information that was provided by Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh about these 100 movies was just not available anywhere else on internet. I know because I regard myself as quite adept in ferreting information from internet. Earlier I had to search hard on internet to find out information about obscure movies. Now I only have to wait for the comments of Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh to appear. And the details contains all the information that one may ever need about these movies. He is indeed our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia as I like to call him.
We are very fortunate that he has kept notes about the movies that he has watched and he shares those information with us. His information have enriched our knowledge and has added considerably to the knowledge base on the subject of old Hindi movies and their music. I have no doubt that all this information is extremely valuable and will serve as authentic reference material in future.
I once again thank Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh for all the information that he shares with us all the time. Just as the regulars of this blog look forward to the “new” songs daily, we also look forward to the “new” information about these obscure movies and songs that Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh provides.

Atul ji,
Thanks to you from heart.
All you have said was possible only because of the consistant support,encouragement and fairplay on your part to my notings.
Thru this wonderful blog,I got a platform to showcase and share my info with like minded people.Only genuine appreciation and encouragement can push one further willingly.
There is much more stored in future and I shall endeavour to come up to expectations.
I can not describe how much joy I get in writing for this blog(actually so much, that my wife has become jealous of this blog).
Thanks once again for everything.

The newlyweds get blessing of two children in 1943.
yes, way ahead of the time..but than why blessing of six children?
In old time they blessed with the seven (male) children.
“seven” been a most significant number in Hindu philosophy.
The couple conduct seven circuits of the Holy Fire,
The Saptapadi (Sanskrit for seven steps) in wedding.
Besides a religious meaning behind the seven steps, there is also a mathematical rationale on performing the 7 rounds circling the fire. A circle is 360 degrees, all the numbers from 1 to 9 divides 360 except the number 7. It becomes a non-terminating number, hence symbolizing the marriage as indivisible (not separable).
