Today’s song is from a C grade imaginary film – Jadui Angoothi-1948.
The man has been attracted, with awe, towards the miracles and magic powers from the time immemorial. All of us, in our school days were drawn towards stories of magic, be it from Puranas, or from Arabian Night type stories. This is a worldwide phenomenon and you find books for children have about 30 to 40 % stories about magic, super powers and supermen. Even the film industry all over the world-in all languages, have taken advantage of this fact and made films on men with magic and super powers.
Being a normal school child, I was not an exception and loved to read such books and see such films. Maybe because of this, I was fascinated by the Mythological films from childhood. When I started seeing films, my first priority, in the initial phase, was for films which would quench my thirst for magic. This was easily fulfilled by the Mythological and cheap stunt films in third rate theatres, where the ticket rates were low ! Even Hollywood films like Superman, Captain Marvel, The 3-D Man, The invisible man and the others of this ilk were my staple food on Sundays and Holidays. Actually most adults too are enamoured by magic and miracles but hesitate to admit openly. I do not suppress the child in me and I am always ready for such films even now, knowing full well that it is nothing but trash !
As per the film Index list, about 40 films are made with the titles starting with the word ‘Jadu’ and 16 films with ‘Jadui’. It feels funny when you see films made like jadui Topi, Jadui Shehnai,Jadui Sindoor, Jadui Sandook or Jadui Danda !
Today’s film Jadui Angoothi-1948 was made by Mohan Pictures owned by Ramnik Lal Shah, husband of yesteryear heroine Indurani. She was a popular Heroinein the 1930s and the 1940s, before she quit films. I have interviewed her son Salim Shah , who is settled in the USA, and written about her on the Internet. Later Dr. Surjit Singh ji published a detailed book on her. There were few film companies which were specialised in making stunt, action, costume and imaginary films together with popular Arabian Night stories. Mohan Pictures was one of them. In the year 1948 itself they had made such C grade films like Jadui Angoothji, jadui Bansuri and jadui Shehnai. Film Jadui Sindoor-also made in 1948 was censored in early 1949,
Film Jadui Angoothi was directed by A.M.Khan. Now, this Khan was a person with many qualities. He was an actor, a lyricist and a director. In his 30 years’ career he had acted in 2 films – Dil-46 and Bigde dil-49. He wrote 24 songs in 3 films – Cyclewali-38, Ran Sangream-39 and Bahana-42. A M Khan directed 37 films. His first film was Woh kaun-1935 and his last film was Jadui Anguthi-1965. When I went through his Filmography as a Director, I found that he directed mostly Stunt, Action and Costume films only.
Some of his films had interesting Titles….Cycle Wali-38, Chabuk wali-39, Motor wali-42, Khanjar wali-43 and to top it all, he also directed Police wali-49 ! Titles of his films had words like Lutari, Lutaran, Bala, Sundari, Lady, Tilasmi, Jadui, and Toofani. These are typically indicative of their genre-Stunt. A M Khan was also a Stunt specialist. In those days, some directors specialised in such films. For example, Nari Ghadiyali, Aspy irani, Ramniklal Shah,Master Bhagwan, Harischandra rao and Chandra rao kadam etc. Other than Khan’s Filmography, no information about him is available.
The story of film Jadui Angoothi-1948 was….Sunder Singh, a poor youth, wishes to leave home in search of fame and fortune, but his mother, believing that one’s life is determined by fate, tries to reason with her son, and as a test she suggests he try to marry a princess and see what happens. Sunder takes the challenge and heads out to find and woo his would-be bride. On the journey, Sunder battles two ruffians, Bahadur Singh and Sher Singh, and when the princess learns of Sunder’s valor and heroism, she falls in love.
Sunder requests to marry the princess, and the king agrees, but on one condition — that the young man search for, and bring back, a legendary magic ring which is kept by an evil wizard. Bahadur Singh and Sher Singh, still stinging from their defeat, use black magic to try and stop Sunder from reaching his goal.
Sunder Singh, with great courage and valour fights all evils, kills the evil wizard and gets the Magic Ring. The king is very happy and marries the princess with Sunder singh. However, after the marriage, the Magic Ring is transformed into a Fairy who blesses Sunder singh, the king and the princess and vanishes. (with thanks to cinemajadoo.com)
The cast of the film was Husn Ara, Anil Kumar, Shanta Patel,P.D.Lal,Gulnar, Agha Shapoor, Anwari, Razia Begum etc. Anwari was the second wife of Music Director Rafiq Ghaznavi and was already divorced. Razia Begum was the elder sister of actress Suraiya Zulfi.
Actor Anil Kumar (Sardar Gul) was born in 1915 at Calcutta.His father had a fruit business. They were from Peshawar (just like Dilip Kumar). He was not much educated but could speak Hindi, Urdu and English fluently. Once he went to Bombay to meet a friend. There he met an old acquaintance, who took him to Sohrab Modi.
The good looking Sardar Gul was liked by Modi and he offered him the lead role in his film ‘ Saed E Havas’-36. Sardar Gul was given the screen name of Chandra Kumar. The film was based on a translation of William Shakespeare’s drama- King John, by Agha Hashra Kashmiri in 1907. Sardar Gul was to get Rs. 200 for this work. The film was a flop and Sohrab Modi refused to pay him more than Rs 50. Annoyed, he left Bombay and returned to Calcutta.
However he came back in 1938 and did his first film with a new screen name Anil Kumar. The film was Talwar ka Dhani-38. Soon he was well known and acted in 10 films in the next 3 years. As the decade of the 40s saw many new actors, producers and directors, he was reduced to Character roles and side roles. By 1950, he was almost like an extra. He did work in many films, but only few films credited him, as his roles were negligible. We find his name in just 30 films, where he was credited, the last such film being Tarzan and Deliailah-64.
He had married an actress named Nurjehan, who left films after their marriage.
Today’s song is a duet sung by Hamida Bano and Miss Kalyani aka Kalyani Bai. This seems to be a comedy song.
