In the 1940s, there were four main Hindi/Urdu/Hindusani movie producing centres in India, viz. Bombay (Mumbai), Calcutta (Kolkata), Lahore and Poona (Pune).
Bombay (Mumbai) had Ranjit Movietone, Calcutta (Kolkata), the New Theatres and Poona (Pune) had Prabhat Films as leading producers of Hindi/Urdu films. Lahore centre was dominated by Pancholi Art Pictures owned by Dalsukh Pancholi. He was also the owner of Lahore’s biggest film studio, Pancholi Art Studio during pre-independent period.
Dalsukh Pancholi had a film distribution business called Empire Film Distributors which was based in Karachi. His film distribution firm was the biggest importer of American films. His firm had also got the distribution rights of India’s first talkie ‘Alam Ara’ (1931) for Northern India. Although Pancholi Art Studio was set up in around 1932, the idea of the home production of films germinated only in 1938 with his debut film ‘Gul Bakavli’ (1938) in Punjabi. This was also the debut films for Wali Saheb as a lyricist, Shaukat Hussain Rizvi as an editor who later became a well known director, Baby Noor Jahan as a singer- actor and Salim Raza as an actor. The film was a super box office hit.
With the success of the Punjabi film, ‘Gul Bakavli’ (1938), Dalsukh Pancholi ventured into making Hindi/Urdu films. He had a hat trick of super box office hits of ‘Khazaanchi’ (1941), ‘Khandaan’ (1942) and ‘Zameendaar’ (1942). The super success of ‘Gul Bakavli (1938) and the subsequent 3 Hindi/Urdu films is mainly attributed to the music direction of Ghulam Haider who churned out popular songs based mainly on Punjabi folk music. With the prominence of dholak in his orchestrations, his songs turned out to be rhythmic making the listeners to rejoice.
Unfortunately, the successful partnership of Dalsukh Pancholi and Ghulam Haider came to an end with the film ‘Poonji’ (1943). Ghulam Haider’s decision to move out of Lahore to Bombay (Mumbai) in 1944 may have been one of the reasons for the end of his association with Dalsukh Pancholi. Subsequent Hindi films produced by Dalsukh Pancholi did not get the kind of responses from the cinegoers as they gave for the films produced by him which had Ghulam Haider as the music director.
I am presenting one of the rare songs from the film POONJI (1943) which was the last film of Dalsukh Pancholi as far as his association with Ghulam Haider was concerned. The song is ‘kya mast hawaayen hain’ sung by Ghulam Haider and Shamshad Begum. There were 3 lyricists for 10 songs in the film – D N Madhok, Shaukat Thanvi and Behzad Lucknowi. But the distribution of songs among the lyricists is not known. One song from the film has been covered in the Blog.
Enjoy this fast-paced ‘sawaal-jawaab’ song with an aroma of Punjabi folk music.

Lyrics
kya mast hawaayen hain
kya mast hawaayen hain
daali daali par
haay sajni
naazuk si adaayen hain
daali daali par
haay sajni
naazuk si adaayen hain
hanste huye taare hain
haay saajan
haay saajan
hanste huye taare hain
chaand se hans hans kar
karte ye ishaaren hain
chaand se hans hans kar
karte ye ishaaren hain
ham chaand ko kya jaanen
ham chaand ko kya jaanen
dekh chuke tumko
haay sajni
ab usko kya maanen
dekh chuke tumko
haay sajni
ab usko kya maanen
ik baat main karti hoon
haay saajan
haay saajan
ik baat main karti hoon
bhed na khul jaaye
iss baat se darti hoon
bhed na khul jaaye
iss baat se darti hoon
phir mast hawaa aayi
haay saajan
haay sajni
phir mast hawa aayi
do dil goonthh(??) uthe??
ik haar bana laayi
do dil goonthh(??) uthe??
ik haar bana laayi
