“Station Master” (1942) is a very old movie. If one looks at the year, one can see that this movie was released in the same year when Indians passed “Quit India” resolution on their British rulers. Yes, this movie is that old and not much is known about this movie. What is known is that this movie had actors like This movie had actors like Jagdish Sethi, Jeewan, Amirbai Karnataki, Baby Suraiyya, Gulab, Kaushalya, Prem Adib, Ratnamala, Shakir, Umakant etc.
Our in house expert Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh comes to our help, as always when we need information about obscure movies of the past. Here is what he has to say about this movie :-
STATION MASTER(1942),a Prakash pictures film was directed by Chimanlal Luhar,who was a stunt fim director in those days(Dynamite,Rambha Rani,Service limited, Captain Kirtikar, Silver king, Talash e haque, Vikram Charitra etc).While Naushad was the MD,lyrics were by P.L.Santoshi, Pt.Indra and B.R.Sharma. The story, screenplay and dialogues were written by Santoshi and V.Aundhkar.
The cast was Suraiyya, Prem Adeeb, Jeevan, Gulab, Amirbai, Jagdish Sethi, Kaushalya, Pratima, Shakir, Umakant Desai etc.
Jagdish Sethi has done the old Station master Paramanand’s role, Prem adeeb is Arun,the young guard and Ratnmala is Usha,the S.M.’s daughter.
Arun and Usha are in love, but wicked Manikbabu,booking clerk,induces the SM to marry Usha to Niranjan, a widower Traffic Suptd. They marry. Manikbabu wants Arun to marry his half mad daughter Shyama(kaushalya).
There is a Train accident,in which Niranjan dies and Arun gets injured trying to avert the accident. All is well when the S M. Paramanand is exonerated from the blame of accident due to the statement of Arun.
Arun and Usha sing a song and marry !
The movie had lovely songs in it. I have discussed three songs from this movie in the past. Here is another song from the movie. The song is sung by Rajkumari. My guess is that the song is picturised on Ratnamala. I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify her.
The song is sung by Rajkumari. Butaram Sharma is the lyricist. Music is composed by Naushad.
Song-Kis aas pe din kaaten (Station Master)(1942) Singer-Rajkumari, Lyrics-Butaram Sharma, MD-Naushad
Lyrics(Provided by Khyati Bhatt)
kis aas pe din kaatein
ha aa aa
kis aas pe din kaatein
ab kaun hamaara hai
ro ro ke hi mar jaayen
kismat ka ishaara hai
ro ro ke hi mar jaayen
kismat ka ishaara hai
is dil se juda kar den
hum yaad teri kaise
ae ae
le de ke yahi
haan haan haan
le deke yahinapna
duniya mein sahaara hai
le deke yahi apna
duniya mein sahaara hai
hum paar lagen kaise
toofaan hazaaron hain
ae ae
majhdhaar mein hai
haan haan haan
majhdhaar mein hai kashti
aur door kinaara hai
kis munh se shikaayat ho
kaise ho gila unse
haan aa aa aa
ye bhool hamaari hai
ae ae
ye bhool hamaari hai
sab dosh hamaara hai
ye bhool hamaari hai
sab dosh hamaara hai
kis aas pe din kaatein
ab kaun hamaara hai
