When we discuss songs of 1930s and 1940s, we tend to think that those days that are now 80 to 90 years behind us were similar to present days, as far as listening to songs was concerned. This assumption is highly incorrect. Today everyone is able to listen to any song that is available online. Those days technology was far less advanced. Forget internet, even Radio and TV were in their infancy. Record players and movies were the only means to listening to songs. Record players were very expensive. Only rich people could afford them. Even Radio was expensive. Even if Radio was there, there were very few Radio stations that played film songs. For majority of people, visiting movie halls may have been the only way they would be ale to listen to a song. If the movie was a hit movie, then getting entry into the movie hall was a tall order. One needed to brave big crowd and somehow jostle one’s way to the ticket counter and shove one’s hand, with money in it, inside the round counter measuring less than six inch in diameter and tell the counter clerk how many ticket you required.
In case the movie was less popular, that movie would not even get released in smaller places. Movies that did not get too many opportunities to get released would find their songs failing to get popular because few people listened to them. Unless enough number of people listen to songs and liked them, even record companies would shy away from making too many copies of those songs.
I wonder how many copies of songs were made by record companies those days. Popular songs would sell more copies so more copies would be made. But what was the minimum number of records made for a less popular movie ? Did all the records of such less popular songs get sold or there were some unsold records too ? What happened to the unsold records ?
Suppose there was a movie that failed to get popular. With time the copies of its film were lost. Very few copies of its records got sold. Decades upon decades passed. The original individual who bought the record passed away. What happened to these records ?
When I think along these lines, I am really surprised that the records of less popular movies of 1940s are still available today, eighty to ninety years later, and they are gradually finding their way online. That way, these songs are getting heard by the present generation, perhaps for the first time in eighty to ninety years !
Take the movie “Seeta Swayamwar”(1948) for example. This movie, clearly based on Ramayan, did not do as well as the movie “Ram Rajya”(1943), which was a super duper all time hit movie. “Seeta Swayamwar”(1948) hoped to do similar kind of business, but could not. This movie was directed by A R Sheikh for Vijay Pictures, Bombay. The movie had Durga Khote, Anant Thengdi, Balakram, Nimbalkar, Kelkar, Sulochana, Usha Marathe, Manjrekar etc in it.
The movie had nine songs in it. Unlike “Ram Rajya”(1943), the songs of “Seeta Swayamwar”(1948) were not available till recently. This movie is not represented in the blog for this reason.
A couple of songs from this movie have now become available. So this movie can now make its debut in the blog.
Here is the first song from “Seeta Swayamwar”(1948) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Malti Pande. Amar Verma is the lyricist. Music is composed by Sudhir Phadke.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
I have not been able to get a few words in the last paragraph of the song. I request our readers with keener ears to help fill in the gaps/ suggest corrections wherever applicable.
With this song, “Seeta Swayamwar”(1948) makes its debut in the blog.
Song-Roop tumhaara mera jiya ko lubhaaye re(Seeta Swayamwar)(1948) Singer-Malti Pande, Lyrics-Amar Verma, MD-Sudhir Phadke
Lyrics
roop tumhaara mere jiya ko lubhaaye re ae ae
jiya ko lubhaaye re
roop tumhaara mere jiya ko lubhaaye re ae ae
jiya ko lubhaaye re
bade bade nain wohi
wohi muskaana hai
bade bade nain wohi
wohi muskaana hai
bolo kahaan ki tumse meri pehchaan hai
bolo kahaan ki tumse meri pehchaan hai
naina tumhaare mere naina nachaaye re ae
jiya ko lubhaaye re
roop tumhaara mere jiya ko lubhaaye re ae ae
jiya ko lubhaaye re
janam janam ke meet hamaare
janam janam ke meet hamaare
bhole bhaale ho tum pyaare pyaare
bhole bhaale ho tum pyaare pyaare
yaaden tumhaari mohse bhoole na bhulaaye re ae
yaaden tumhaari mohse bhoole na bhulaaye re ae
jiya ko lubhaaye re
roop tumhaara mere jiya ko lubhaaye re ae ae
jiya ko lubhaaye re
man mandir mein toh ko bithhaaun
man mandir mein toh ko bithhaaun
praanon se runjhun taar bajaaungee
praanon se runjhun taar bajaaungee
daasee tumhaaree dekho aanandee gaaye re ae
daasee tumhaaree dekho aanandee gaaye re ae
jiya ko lubhaaye re
roop tumhaara mere jiya ko lubhaaye re ae ae
jiya ko lubhaaye re
jiya ko lubhaaye re
roop tumhaara mere jiya ko lubhaaye re ae ae
jiya ko lubhaaye re

Atul ji,
To me, it sounds like “Man mandarin mein khoob bithaungi”.
