Today’s song is from the film ‘Baghdad Ki Raaten’ (1962).
The film is labelled as ‘kalpanik‘, (काल्पनिक) meaning based on an imaginary story. I would have loved to meet the writer of this story, who had such fantastic imagination, but the film mentioned that the story was by the ‘Story Department ‘ of the banner/studio. That explains ! It is not possible to imagine such stories by one single person. The Arabian Night stories were supposed to be told by Scheherazade-wife of the King Shehriar of Persia- to her husband at the rate of one story a night for continuously 1001 nights, to avoid her death. I am sure even she would gladly embrace death after hearing the ‘Arabian Stories’ made by the imaginative story departments of Indian films ! In this one department, we easily defeat the rest of the world’s filmmakers !!
‘Raat’ is yet another favourite word of our filmmakers. A cursory look at the Film Title Index, one finds that there were 21 films made with titles starting with the word Raat. And then there were films with the word Raat, placed in the title elsewhere too like ‘Ek Raat’ (4 films), ‘Barsaat Ki Raat’ (4 films). I found even a ‘Meethi Meethi Raat’ (1991). Further titles were found like ‘Ek Aadhi Raat (2005), ‘Aadhi Raat’ (2 films), ‘Aadhi Raat Ke Baad’ (1965) etc. Then I found ‘Milan Ki Raat’ (1967). With curiosity, I proceeded to try to find ‘Honeymoon Ki Raat, but instead I found ‘Ek Raat Shaitaan Ke Saath’ (2004) and I hurriedly wound up my research !
The decade of the 60’s, though a part of the ‘Golden Period’ to some extent, suffered much due to conditions prevailing in the country. If you take a look at the number of films made from 1961 to 1970, you will find the number had come down substantially, compared to earlier or later decades. See this – 924 films in 1930-40, 1191 films in 1940-50, 1125 in 1950-60, 942 in 1960-70, 1243 in 1970-80, 1668 in 1980-90, 1713 in 1990-2000 and 2352 in 2000-2010.
The reasons for this low number in 60-70 period were many. Major reason was escalation in the cost of film production. The cost had gone up substantially compared to the period 1931 to 1960, in terms of payments to the actors, directors and the music directors, raw film was costlier and other reasons. Attraction of making color films was very expensive. By the end of the 60’s, color films occupied about 70 % of the films produced.
War with China in 1962, war with Pakistan in 1965, death of Nehru ji in 1964, Shastri ji in 1966 and a severe drought condition in the North and East India were reasons which disturbed the national economy. In 1960 itself, to help the Film Industry, the Film Finance Corporation was established, which gave loans for film production at only 5 to 6 % interest rates. Due to this the ‘New Wave Cinema’ had a boost, affecting mainstream films. With all this the number of films made dwindled. However, by the end of the decade i.e. by 1970 the Hindi films once again crossed the figure of 100’s mark (102 films), never to fall again below 100 ! In fact, after the year 2000, the number has always been above 200 films !!
Film ‘Baghdad Ki Raaten’ (1962) was directed by Nanabhai Bhatt, a veteran of such films. The music was by D Dilip alias Dilip Dholakia. He used several names like Dilip, Dilip Rai, Dilip Kumar, in addition to D Dilip and Dilip Dholakia. Contribution of Gujarat to the film industry is tremendous right from the beginning of the moving pictures era. The important fact is, this contribution was all pervading, i.e. in all departments of film making from production to distribution and in the music field it was in the form of singers and composers. Producers like Dalsukh Pancholi and Chandulal Shah, directors like Desai and Doshi, actors like Sanjeev Kumar and Nirupa Roy, MDs like Pransukh Nayak and Madholal Master right up to Kalyan ji Anand ji….the list will be endless !
However, in the music field, not all those who came from Gujarat were as famous or lucky as some others. Composers like Avinash Vyas, Ninu Mujumdar, Ajit Merchant – despite the quantity and the quality, never got counted among the ‘Top Of the Line’ composers. Another name of such a composer is that of DILIP DHOLAKIYA.
Dilipbhai, as he was popularly called, was born on 15-10-1921 at Junagadh in Gujarat. He took classical music training from well known Gurus and also completed BA degree with Sanskrit and Gujrati Literature as main subjects. From 1942 to 1944 he even worked in govt. office, but his intense desire for music made him leave the job and seek opportunities. He sang on All India Radio for 5 Rs. a song basis. He developed friendship with Snehal Bhatkar who was working in HMV that time, and cut a record of two songs. He sang along with Saigal in a chorus for ‘Bhanwaraa’ (1944). Later Shantikumar Desai and Ratan Lal gave him songs in ‘Kismatwala’ and later Chitragupta also gave him songs in ‘Sakshi Gopal’, ‘Mahasati Savitri’, ‘Naya Raasta’ etc.
In 1947, he was selected by Feroze Nizami to sing the famous song, “Yahan Badla Wafaa Ka” from ‘Jugnu’ (1947). Few rehearsals also took place. Due to the turmoil of independence activity in 1947, Mohd. Rafi was stuck in Jalandhar, Punjab. Just one day prior to the recording, Mohd. Rafi came to Bombay. Feroze Nizami gave the song to Rafi, which made lot of good to him. This was the first indication to Dilip Bhai that Luck was not with him.
Basically, he worked as assistant to SN Tripathi and Chitragupta from 1951 to 1972 and later from 1972,as arranger for Laxmikant Pyarelal up to 1988.
While not so successful in Hindi, he was quite popular in Gujrati as a singer and composer. His song “Taari Aankhni Afeeni” from the film ‘Divadandi’ (1950), under Ajit Merchant’s baton is hugely popular even today.
His first independent film in Hindi, as composer was ‘Baghdad Ki Raaten’ (1956), but the film got released only in 1962 ! In all he gave music to 8 Hindi films, ‘Bhakti Mahima’, ‘Saugandh’, ‘Teen Ustaad’, ‘Private Secretary’, ‘Dagabaaz’, ‘Veer Ghatotkach’ and ‘Mata Vaishno Devi’. The song “Miley Nain, Miley Chain” from ‘Private Secretary’ by Lata, became quite popular in those days. He used several names like, Dilip, Dilip D, Dilip Rai and Dilip Kumar for his songs and music.
He gave music to 11 Gujarati films from 1963 to 1984. There is not much information available about Dilip Bhai on the internet or in books. However the following is the summary of his life, from a website ‘Deshgujarat’ with thanks to them-

The film had another name Abu Hasan and the coincidence was that a small time actor Abu Hasan acted in this film and his name was credited also. The story of this film is given here (please do not chuckle while reading it).
When king Harun Al Rashid was ruling there lived a rich merchant Abu Hasan with his mother and sister Zarina. He had founded a group of friends of his age to spend good times, having parties etc. After few years he stopped the parties as his mother advised. King’s son Prince Gul loved Abu hasan’s sister Zarina, but he met her as a gardener’s son – Jaffer.
The king’s Vazir wanted to become the king. He arrested the king. His Prince did not know this, he thought the king has gone on shikar. The Vazir also arrested Abu Hasan and the Prince Gul and left them in front of hungry lions. However the lions kept their heads on Abu Hasan’s feet but did not eat them, because Hasan had provided them food for many years.
Seeing this, the Vazir was enraged and wanted to kill both, but Hasan’s friend group had come there with weapons and they attacked the Vazir. In the ensuing fight Vazir was killed. Abu Hasan, the king and Prince Gul were released. Gul married Zarina, Abu hasan married his love, court dancer Haseena and the king was reinstated. Abu Hasan was appointed Vazir now. Clap, Clap. The End !
Today’s song is a duet of Rafi and Shamshad Begum. Enjoy….
