“Binaca Geetmala” was the most popular programme on radio (or was it the only one?) during my growing years.

All music lovers and readers on this blog are surely aware of this popular programme conducted by the famous Amin Sayani ji, and nobody, those who got to listen to his voice, would ever forget his voice and his style of presenting the weekly countdown of songs.

Today’s song is from a special film – Gunsundari-1948.

I call this film a ‘Special’ film because this is one film in which the simple story was so original, interesting and so much a representative of the changing times in the country that this story inspired films in almost every language in India from the late 1920’s decade till even today (albeit in modern avatar !).

For some obvious reasons, nowadays I am looking for the songs sung by Bhupinder Singh in his early career. There are many unforgettable songs sung by him in the later period which I hope would be bringing on the blog in the near future. In addition there are some lesser known songs sung by him in the early days of his career which are yet to be represented on the blog.

Today’s song is from an obscure film called Sapna-1952. I had not heard its name till I purchased the HFGK in 2011 !

The film was made by the Producer Kishor Sahu, under the banner of Hindustan Chitra, Bombay. The film’s director was Kidar Sharma, who was in the second half of his career. Out of his 36 Directorial ventures Sapna-52 was his 20th film. The famous , creative and hard working Kidar Nath Sharma was slowly losing his sheen in direction. Maybe he found difficulty in dealing with the changing scenario of the Hindi films in the 50’s decade. I have his autobiographical book ” The one and the Lonely Kidar Sharma” which is indeed an informative and interesting book. It gives a peep into the film scene of the 30’s and the 40’s as well as the famous Studio system.

‘duniyaa kehti hai mujhko paagal,
main kehtaa duniyaa ko paagal’

The above are the lines by Kishore Kumar from a famous interview given to none other than Lata Mangeshkar (probably in the end seventies or early eighties). I also remember that these lines with a picture of Kishore Kumar were a part of cover photo of the film magazine ‘Madhuri’ or ‘Filmfare’ in those years. (I am forgetting the particular year).

Today’s song is from the film Kanchan-1941.

1941 was the first year in the second decade of the Talkie Era and it was the beginning of the emergence of a New film industry. When Talkie started in 1931, for many years after that, the films were made by the people who had done work in the Silent films. These films had a spill over for the silent era artistes. Once the films started talking,most silent artistes who could not speak Hindi or Urdu automatically disappeared. Thus started the influx of new actors who could speak Hindi and sing songs, in whatever way they could. Intelligent directors like V Shantaram,Bhavnani, Sohrab Modi, Chandulal Shah, Himanshu Rai, B N Sircar, L V Prasad and a host of Gujarati directors understood that the Talkie needs a different treatment than silent films. Music directors from stage dramas tried their hand in composing film music.
