Today’s song is from a stunt film Baboo ji-1950.

Oh my God ! Can’t believe it !! My 1200^th Post !!!

Honestly, more than Joy, I am amazed how I have reached this stage. Entering this field was never planned by me. When I detached myself from working with my Pharma background finally in 2008 ( I had retired in 1998, but I ran my Consultancy Company till another 10 years ), I had no plans of what I was going to do in my free time.

After travelling with my wife all over India and most of the world, I decided that it was high time I learnt operating computers at least now. My grandsons were too happy to teach me how to use a Laptop, at my age of 71 years. The first Love, they say, never dies. My first love was old films and old songs. So I started surfing and downloading old known and unknown songs and made several cassettes. Then one day while surfing I stumbled upon” atulsongaday.wordpress.com”. I found a lot of old songs. I was impressed with the write ups and comments of readers.

I had many diaries, loaded with information noted down whenever I had seen a film – from about 1948-49 onwards. There were about 80-90 diaries, which I had carried wherever I was transferred during my career, at the cost of complaints from my family. I started using information from these diaries and making comments on this and other Blogs, Fb groups and sites. After some time I became a known person in the fraternity and my first post appeared on this Blog, after Atul ji encouraged me to write a post on a song from the film ” Savitri-1937″. It was posted on 1-10-2012. I realised that this was my second innings only when I was neck-deep in it ! Thanks to Atul ji and Sudhir ji – my first motivators.

So, it looks like that in 3882 days, I have written 1200 posts on this Blog alone.( my many articles are published on Sangeet ke sitare, Anmol Fankaar, Songs of yore, memsaabstory.com, Cineplot, Kalyan Music group, geetadutt.com and few other sites, blogs etc. and 2 books to boot !).

On this occasion I thank Atul ji, Sudhir ji, my friends on the Atulite group on this Blog and WA group as well as several visiting commenters who have encouraged and motivated me from time to time with their comments and appreciations. I would especially mention the name of Shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji for helping me whenever I needed information. He has been a pillar of my strength in this field.

Now, coming to today’s song and film Baboo ji-1950. Just because HFGK mentions it and the starcast clearly indicates so, the film is accepted as a stunt film. Its title otherwise sounds like a Social film ! The cast of the film was Bhagwan, Leela Gupte, Baburao Pehlwan, vasantrao pehlwan, Usha Shukla, Azeem, Mirajkar and many regulars. The lyricist was Ehsan Rizvi and the MD was P. Ramakant. The director was Master Bhagwan.

Master Bhagwan was a very hard working person. In the real sense, he brought in the wave of stunt films again in the late 40s. After the films of Master Vithal and Fearless Nadia waned in their popularity by 1944-45, it was Master Bhagwan, who established his own Production house-Jagriti Films and produced several stunt films. He had a set of actors and actresses, which included Baburao pehelwan, Vasantrao pehelwan, Azeem Bhai, Shanta Patel, Chanchal, Leela Gupte, Usha Shukla and Vitha Lokare.

The storyline for most of his films was also fixed.

Two young vagabonds-Baburao pehelwan and Bhagwan, come to Bombay in search of employment. One Sethji (Azeembhai ) appoints them to protect him from the local criminal (Vasantrao pehelwan). Sethji has a good looking daughter ( one of the stock Heroines), who has a maid (another girl from the stock). Baburao loves Seth ji’s daughter and Bhagwan loves the maid. After a lot of stunts and fighting scenes, the end would be happy.

The same story with changed names and other minor changes was used in almost all his films like Badla, Bahadur, Jalan, Madadgaar, Dosti, Shake hand, Matlabi,Bach ke rehna,Bhole bhale, Jeete Raho or such other films. The audience did not mind . They were happy with the stunts. (Did Nasir Hussain and Manmohan Desai get inspiration from Bhagwan in this matter ?). In almost all his films the songs and dialogues were by Ehsan Rizvi.

Luck is a funny thing. In this world it is difficult to say who will be lucky and when and on whom Lady Luck will smile. Lyricist Ehsan Rizvi’s case falls under this uncertainty. Born on 26-1-1914 in U.P., Rizvi came to Bombay at the age of 24. He was a good poet and writer. He wanted to try his luck in the films. How he got a break in films is an interesting story.

Master Bhagwan entered the film world with the silent film ‘ Bewafa Aashiq’-30. His first talkie film was ‘Himmat-e-Marda’-34. Initially,like all other Heroes, even Bhagwan used to sing his own songs. Once he had gone to Columbia company for rehearsal and recording a song. While entering, he saw a young man sitting under a tree and writing something. After rehearsal, he saw that fellow again and even after recording the man was still writing something. Bhagwan went to him and asked with curiosity what he was writing. The man answered, I am writing songs and stories. He came to know that his name was Ehsaan Rizvi and that he too lives in Dadar like Bhagwan. He took Rizvi’s address and left.

In 1938, Bhagwan got his first film as a Director- Bahadur kisaan-38. He called Ehsan Rizvi and gave him a scene and asked him to write dialogues. He came back with the dialogues. After reading Bhagwan was astonished. The scene started with one villager saying ” Ram Ram Bhaiya ji. Kaise ho ?” He asked Ehsan, ‘ being a Muslim, how have you written this?” He replied,” we start any work with God’s name. As your story is Hindu based, I wrote Ram Ram. If it was Muslim film, I would have written “Allah”. Bhagwan was impressed and he gave him not only this film but Ehsan became a member of his group. He wrote songs, story and dialogues of at least 25 films of Bhagwan.

After the fall of Bhagwan’s fortunes. Bhagwan himself advised him to work in other banners as he was no longer in a position to make films now. Rizvi wrote lyrics for 60 films, but most of them were B or C grade films. He however wrote dialogues and screenplay for some well known films like Do Ustad-59, Mughal-e-Azam-60, Woh kaun thi-64, Aan milo sajna-71, Gopichand jasoos-82 etc etc. He had shared the Film Fare award for dialogues of Mughal e Azam-60, with 3 other writers. He died on 16-1-1983.

Now coming to the MD’s name-P.Ramakant. P. Ramakant. This was a name used by C.Ramchandra, because he was under contract with Filmistan and could not give music in his own name. It started with Raja Nene’s film Shadi se pehle in 1947, in which he first used his assistant’s name Paingankar ( the joint MD was Karnad). His name was Ramakant Paingankar and was assisting Chitalkar for a long time. Later, for Bhagwan’s films like Bhedi Bangla-49, Bhole bhale-49, Babuji-50, and Bakshish-50 also, Chitalkar used the pseudonym P. Ramakant as MD. (information from Marathi Chitrapat Sangeetkar kosh by Madhu Potdar). For film Dussehra-56, N.Datta’s assistant was Ramakant paingankar, who was assistant to C.Ramchandra for a long time. He is the same person who tried his hand at being a composer himself in the late 40s. With Shyamsunder and Ramchandra Pal, he gave music to Urvashi-46 and with Lal Mohammed in Mitti-47. . Ramakant gave music to film Rupiah-50 independently. Then he turned to Marathi films. In his last days, he came back to Hindi films again as assistant to many composers.

It was from the film ‘Albela’ that CR gave music to Bhagwan’s film in his real name. Prior to this, he gave music to his stunt films as ‘Annasaheb’ and Ram Chitalkar.This type of use of pen names was followed by many MDs. GM Durrani gave music as Gunjan, SD Batish gave music as Nirmal Kumar. Snehal Bhatkar used several names like Vasudev, B Vasudev, VG Bhatkar and Snehal, before taking up another pen name Snehal Bhatkar for the rest of his career. Actually his name was Vasudeo and Snehal was his daughter’s name. Similarly, MD Nashaad also used names like Shaukat Hussain Dehalvi, Shaukat Dehalvi, Shaukat Ali, and Shaukat Haider. These are well known, but today I will tell you 2 pen names for the FIRST time on the internet ! Hardly anybody knows that Anil Biswas gave music to film ‘Begunah’ (1949) in the name of Haribhai. His co-MD in this film was Shyamu – none other than C Ramchandra. This information is given in the Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema by Rajadhyaksha on pages 67 and 190.

On this occasion, no wonder I have selected a song sung and composed by my favourite composer C.Ramchandra. The song is very good, a typical C Ramchandra style song. I am sure all of the readers will also like this song. Enjoy….

Song- Gorey gorey mukhde se ghoonghat hataao jo (Baaboojee)(1950) Singer- Anna Saheb (C.Ramchandra), Lyricist- Ehsan Rizvi, MD- P.Ramakant (C.Ramchandra)

Lyrics

gore gore mukhde se ghoonghat hataao jo
tadpadte man ko kaahe sataao jo o o o
kaahe sataao jo

o o o o
aanchal ki odh se bijli giraaye chhe
birha ki aag mein tan-man jalaaye chhe
hamko rula ke man mein muskaaye chhe
bai toone dukh diye ab kya upaaye chhe
ek baar gaaon se bambai bhi aavo jo
tadpadte man ko kaahe sataao jo o o o
kaahe sataao jo

ho o o o
ek baar poochha tumhaara naam shoo chhe
aankhen diikha ke boli tum ko kaam shoo chhe
maanashe ke aadmi raam raam shoo chhe
beech baazaar poochhe chhe ki naam waam shoo chhe
seth zara daya karo
police ko bulaao jo
tadpadte man ko kaahe sataao jo o o o
kaahe sataao jo
gore gore mukhde se ghoonghat hataao jo
tadpadte man ko kaahe sataao jo o o o
kaahe sataao jo

ho o o o
police ka jo naam suna
hamko bukhaar chhayo
pehle hi pyaar mein bhaari bhaari takraar bhayo
bhausaa ab roke roke deewaar chhayo
rehna dushwaar chhayo
jaana dushwaar chhayo
bhai koi meri madad ko bhi aao jo
tadpadte man ko kaahe sataao jo o o o
kaahe sataao jo
gore gore mukhde se ghoonghat hataao jo
tadpadte man ko kaahe sataao jo o o o
kaahe sataao jo
