Today’s song is from film Pehla Pyar-1947. Pehla pyar means First Love. Pehla is Pehla. I could never understand why it has to be called Pehla Pehla Pyar (1958 & 1994). Does it not make it Doosra Pyar ?
Everything First time in life is memorable. This is reflected in the film titles of Hindi cinema too. Pehla Pyar, Pehli Nazar, Pehli Jhalak, Pehli Pehchan, Pehli Shaadi, Pehli Mulaqat and even Pehli Raat. Pehli Tareekh, Pehla Aadmi, Pehla Aashiq, Pehla Qadam, Pehla Aadhyaya and Pehla Paisa is acceptable, but Pehla Nashaa and Pehla Qatil ? Then there was Pehli Bhool, Pehli Shaadi, Pehli Aurat and even Pehla Aadmi !
Funniest thing is there were also Doosra Aadmi, Doosri Aurat, Doosri Shaadi, Doosra Pati, Doosri Bibi etc.etc. I did not check if there was Teesra….something something ! Hamraz ji’s book of Film Index can be a good Time Pass, really ! But I know there was a film Teesra Kaun ?
Coming back to today’s film Pehla Pyar-47, HFGK mentions it as a film made under the banner of ” Sagar Movietone co. Bombay “. Actually, Sagar was closed in 1940, then came National Studio and finally it was Amar Pictures from 1942 onwards. This also closed in 1946 with their last film ” Gwalan”-46 (of Baburao Patel and Susheela Rani). Then, from where did this filmcame and how it claims to be from an extinct ‘ Sagar movietone Co.’ ?
I rummaged through the entire book “Sagar Movietone” written by Biren Kothari ji, but nowhere could I find any reference or information on this film. Finally, I spoke directly to Biren kothariji today to ask about this film. Here too the door was closed. According to Biren ji, it is difficult to say anything about this film. He was , however, sure to say that it had no connection whatsoever with the original ‘Sagar Movietone’.
At the moment it is an unsolved mystery. Maybe in future, some explanation or information on this film will appear to clarify this issue. This is not impossible. In last few years, several such ‘ riddles ‘ have been successfully solved with new evidence, when it cropped up. Some of the riddles which were solved with such new evidence were-
1. Who sang” Bharat ki ek sannari ki katha” from film ‘Ram Rajya’-1943
2. Who sang ‘ Dilli se aaya bhai Tingu’ from film ‘Ek thi Ladki’-1949
3. If Shashi Kapoor acted as a child artiste in 20 films and
4. Is Arjun-Hero fof film ‘Malhar ‘-50 the same as MD C.Arjun
The list is too big to be given here fully, but the point is proved with these examples.
Film Pehla Pyar-47 was directed by A.P. aka Anand prasad Kapoor. he was a well known director of early cinema. He had directed 14 silent before trying his hand at a Talkie film. He was born in 1892 at benares. After matriculation, he came to Bombay and joined film industry doing all odd jobs. His first silent film as a director was Fairy of the Flute-1927 made by Sharda Film Co. His first talkie film as a director was Radhesham-1932, jointly directed by R.L.Shorey. This was a film made in Lahore.
He directed 18 talkie films. He acted also in 2 films. He wrote 32 songs in 3 films as a Lyricist. He also sang 6 songs in 5 films. His last film as a director was Chor-1950. At this stage he realised that his old style was no more acceptable with the new set up. So he retired. A.P.Kapoor died on 16-9-1966 at Bombay.
The cast of the film was Vanmala, Aghajan, Sulochana Chaterjee, K.N.Singh, Sunalini Devi etc etc. Agha or Aghajaan (21-3-1914 to 30-4-1992) was a popular hero in his early career period In film Jwar Bhata-1944, he was the Hero and the Debutante Dilip Kumar was the side Hero ! His career spanned over 50 years-1935 to 1989. He worked in 328 films Pehla pyar was his last film as a hero.
The music was composed by Premnath. This is a case of Same name Confusion. many people think that the actor Premnath had also given music as a MD. Both were different.
PREMNATH the Music Director was born on 5-7-1918 in Gujranwala, Punjab. He learnt music from experts in Amritsar,Multan and Lahore.He acted in films like Shahr-e-khamoshi and also sang in Sohni Mahiwal-1938.
After marriage, he moved to Bombay. His first film as a Music Director was Rangbhoomi-1946. In this film, a novice Mohd. Rafi sang many songs for him. His other films were Dharti-47, Chandrahas-47, Sagar’s Pehla pyar-47. He then produced a film “Chand sitare”-48 under the banner of Ravindra Art productions. Mukesh, Lata and Geeta Roy sang in it. In film ‘Alakh Niranjan’-50,he used Mohd. Faruqi, Sulochana Kadam and Rajkumari.
Premnath gave music to many films of Super pictures of Aspy Irani like Bade Bhaiya-51 and Maya Machhindra-51, in which Surendra, Geeta,Rafi and Shamshad sang. His another film ‘Qatil kaun’ in late 50s was not released. For this film, Rafi, Asha, Manna Dey, Mubarak Begum and Shamshad had given songs.
His films diminished. Sati Vaishalini-59,Main hoon jaadugar-65 and Tarzan in Fairyland-68 were his last films.
After he stopped work as MD,he devoted his time for the welfare of Cine Artists as a trade union leader. As a Secretary,he served the music Directors Assn. for 30 years.
He died on 27-4-1993 at the age of 75 years.
I find that many people mistakenly credit actor Premnath as a MD for his films. Some sites include these films to the filmography of actor Premnath.
It is now clear that actor Premnath and MD Premnath were 2 different persons.
Today’s song is sung by Shamshad Begum. With this song, film Pehla Pyar-47 makes its Debut on this Blog.
Song- Haay re ghir ke baadal aaye jiya ghabraaye (Pehla Pyaar)(1947) Singer- Shamshad begum, Lyricist- I.C.Kapoor, MD- Premnath
Lyrics
haay re ghir ke baadal aaye ae
jiya ghabraaye
haay re ghir ke baadal aaye
jiya ghabraaye
naina maane na kehnaa aa
kaaboo mein nahin hai mera haay dil
naina maane na kehnaa aa
kaaboo mein nahin hai mera haay dil
jhoom ke lehraaye jiya
doley re boley re
aa mil
aa mil
jhoom ke lehraaye jiya
doley re boley re
aa mil
aa mil
birha mein yaad jalaaye
jiya ghabraaye
haay re ghir ke baadal aaye
jiya ghabraaye
ghanghor ghataayen chhaayin
laut aayin phir jawaaniyaan
ghanghor ghataayen chhaayin
laut aayin phir jawaaniyaan
aao jee sunaayen tumhen
meethi meethi dil ki kahaaniyaan
kahaaniyaan
aao jee sunaayen tumhen
meethi meethi dil ki kahaaniyaan
kahaaniyaan
haay teri yaad sataaye
jiya ghabraaye
haay re ghir ke baadal aaye
jiya ghabraaye
sapnon mein aane waale
dekh dekh haari teri raahen
sapnon mein aane waale
dekh dekh haari teri raahen
aao galey aan milo
poochh rahin dil mera aane
haay aane
aao galey aan milo
poochh rahin dil mera aane
haay aane
tere bin jiya nahin jaaye
jiya ghabraaye
haay re ghir ke baadal aaye
jiya ghabraaye

Arun ji,
There is a reference to the film ‘Pahela Pyar’ in Biren Kothari’s book ‘Sagar Movietone’. Please see page 154-155. The film’s poster is published on page 154. It is also mentioned that “Pehla Pyar was once again produced under the Sagar Movietone banner”.
Gujarati film, ‘Kariyavar’ was released in 1948 under the banner of Sagar Movietone.
In this connection, Biren Kothari has also raised a question as to why
Sagar Movietone returned after a gap of 7 years from its closure for which he says ‘there is no clear answers. Only speculation and assumptions are possible’.

Sadanand ji,
Thanks for your find. Looks like instead of ‘rummaging through’, I should have gone page by page.
Anyway, When I talked to Biren ji, he told me the same point which I raised with him, ” how could it be possible ? ” When questions were put to the then living scions of Chimanlal Desai (both have died last year), they too were ignorant about this. About the Gujarati film everyone knows but without explanation.
Therefore the questions I have raised are still unanswered. Let us hope some day…..

Sir,
Famous films:
Teesri Manzil
Teesri Qasam
Teen batti chaar rasta
There must be a film called “Teesri Aankh”, I think it is distinct possibility with all the ‘fairytale’ films made.
‘Tees maar khan’ is a newer film fitting this criteria, but here it means ’30’ and not ‘3’.

there is, indeed, a film by the name “Teesri Aankh” starring Dharmendra, Shatrughan Sinha, Rakesh Roshan, Nirupa (separated from her children mother), Sarika, Zeenat Aman, Neetu Singh etc. with Amjad Khan as bad man.
And one song from that movie https://atulsongaday.me/2013/08/09/eid-ke-din-galey-mil-le-raaja/ is also present on the blog

Deshmukh sir,
Thanks a lot for sharing a good song from one of the early talkies and the interesting information related to it. It was also heartening to see the comment from AK ji, the moving force behind SOY, which is my favourite like ASAD.

AK ji,
Thanks for your comments.
I have not solved the riddle of Ram Rajya-43 song. The credit goes to Dhananjay Naniwadekar, USA, of RMIM, who actually spoke to both singers (before they died), and got the clarification.
The point was that in Historical events, newer evidences keep sprouting and clarifying issues pending for some time. I have experienced it happening myself.
Thanks again.
