Mohe haay neend na aaye
Posted on: December 8, 2011
“Duhaai” (1943) is an extremely obscure movie. Information about this movie is just not available on internet. That was the case till I discussed a song from this movie.
Our inhouse encyclopedia, Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh shared some invaluable and interesting informtaion about this movie.Here is what he has to say about this movie-
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.
Here is another rare song from this movie. This song is a duet sung by Shanta Apte and Rafiq Ghaznavi. Bharat Vyas is the lyricist. Music is composed by Rafiq Ghaznavi.
Song-Mohe haay neend na aaye (Duhaai)(1943) Singer-Shanta Apte, Rafiq Ghaznavi,Lyrics-Bharat Vyas, MD-Rafiq Ghaznavi
