Today’s song is from a ‘not so well known’ film Sabak-1950. Out of 10 songs of this film, 9 are already discussed here. This is the last and final song for YIPPEE.
The sudden demise of Saigal in the early part of 1947 and the stir created by India’s Independence in the latter half of 1947 sent shock waves to the film industry. The exodus of Muslim artistes from India to the newly created nation Pakistan created a void in the industry. The Indian film industry had always been a dynamic one, because it was never tied to any particular style or system. As per need it had always moulded itself to newer environments and adapted to changes – be it style of acting or drama-classical type of songs. Due to its secular nature and readiness to assimilate newer styles and music, the Indian film industry continued to prosper.
From 1947 to 1950 was a period to shed the carried forward outdated music and imbibe new popular music from all over the world. The void in the stock of actors, Lyricists and Composers was almost immediately filled up by the waiting second line trained artistes in every field. In these 3 years new Music directors like Shankar Jaikishen, S.D.Burman, Roshan, Madan Mohan, Khayyam’s entry brought a new breeze of music. New lyricists like Shailendra, Hasrat, Shakeel, Majrooh, Rajendra Krishna, Sahir, Indivar etc pumped in fresh sounding songs and Rafi, Mukesh, Kishore, Talat, Manna Dey etc sang with fresh gusto and the public became ecstatic.
The year 1950 was full of films trying to reestablish Indian traditions and values through its family and social films and the stress on the popular mythologicals and stunt films continued, along with fresh lilting music to cheer up. D.C.Dutt, Ninu Mujumdar, Sardul Kwatra, S.Mohinder, O.P.Nayyar, Ram ganguli etc were new MDs to add to the melody of the old stalwarts like Naushad, C.Ramchandra, Husnlal-Bhagatram, Hansraj Behl, Vasant Desai etc.
Let us take a look at some important films of 1950, out of the total 113 Hindi films made in this year….
AFSAR – Based on the famous ” Inspector General” by Gogol. Suraiya regaled with her songs.
AANKHEN – Debut of Madan Mohan. Odd singers like Raj Khosla and Madan Mohan sang in it. Some songs of Meena Kapoor and Mukesh were hits.
AARZOO – Dilip Kumar- Kamini Kaushal love story on silver screen (and also off screen).
BABUL – The love tragedy of Dilip-Nargis.Excellent songs by Naushad.
BAWRE NAIN – First musical hit of Roshan. A Tragedy film.
DAASAAN – Yet another Tragedy, laced with good songs by Naushad.
JOGAN – Bulo. C. Rani’s best music.
SAMADHI – With the background of Netaji, a story of two brothers. Song ‘ Gore gore, o baanke chhore’ became a Hit.
SARGAM – Another filmistan musical. C.Ramchandra gave excellent songs on classical music, Rock and Roll, African Folk song and even an Arabic music song. All in one film.
GAUNA – Usha Marathe renamed Usha Kiran by Amiya Chakravarti. Anup kumar was the hero.
HAMARI BETI – Nutan launched at 14 years of age. Mother Shobhana Samarth debuted as a Director.
MASHAL – Based on Bankim Chandra’s novel ‘Rajani’. Manna Dey sang one of his best songs ‘ Upar gagan vishaal’.
MUQADDAR – Kishore acted and sang songs.
HAR HAR MAHADEV – Nirupa Roy and Trilok Kapoor made this Mythological, a great Hit. ( they went on to act in 7 more films together). Songs were popular too.
In addition a few films from Madras also enriched Hindi cinema in 1950.
Today’s film Sabak-1950 was neither a Hit film nor its songs became popular. But I can vouch for the fact that this film had very good songs.
SABAK(1950), produced and directed by M.Sadiq under the banner of Sadiq Productions, had music by A.R.Qureshi (the famous Tabla nawaz Allarakha and father of the famous Tabla player Zakir Hussain) with songs by D.N.Madhok.
The cast was Karan Dewan, Munawwar Sultana, Omprakash, Jahgirdar, Abbas, Jillo, Kumar, Cuckoo etc.
The story was interesting.
Thakur(Jagirdar) is a rich person,owner of 10 villages and 10000 bighas of land. Badrikaka (Omprakash) is a poor cultivator, who is Thakur’s enemy. But Thakur’s son Manohar (karan Dewan) is in love with Lajwanti (Munawwar Sultana), daughter of Badri kaka. Both parents warn their children. When Lajo does not stop, Badrikaka takes her to Thakur and demands that both be married. He is insulted and thrown out. Next day, Badri’s Mango grove is destroyed and burnt. He wants to leave the town, but in the fields, he finds a pot of Gold and papers which prove that Thakur is a cheat and all his property belongs to Badrikaka.
Now the situation is reversed. Thakur is poor and Badri is rich, so are their children. The film details how everybody learns the importance of love more than money. It is a SABAK (Lesson) to all.
The director of this film was M.Sadiq, who had ups and downs in his career, but he succeeded, both in India and later on in Pakistan, where he migrated in 1970. He was born in Lahore on 10-3-1910 and died in Lahore on 3-10-1971.
Sadiq was a Cinematographer, writer, s/p and dialogue writer, producer and director-all in one. Kardar knew Sadiq from 1932. M.Sadiq’s father was a Tailor and he was looking after the Kardar Studio’s costume department. He requested that his son may be taken by Kardar. Kardar took him also When he first directed the First Talkie from Lahore ” Heer Ranjha”-1932, its story and screenplay was by Sadiq. He started his career with Thokar-39 as a writer. Around 1940, he shifted to Bombay along with his mentor A.R.Kardar, actor Suresh ( Nazim Ahmed), actor Amar and a few others. While working as Kardar’s assistant, slowly he developed into a Director who directed about 27 films.He directed films like- Namaste, Rattan, Anmol Ratan, Saiyan, Shabab, Musafirkhana, Chhoo mantar, Chaudhavin ka chaand, Tajmahal and Bahu Begum for which he also wrote story and dialogues.
After Khota Paisa-58 Sadiq fell on bad times. He had no films on hand.That was the period when Guru Dutt was also in problems of debts. He wanted to make a film but did not want to direct it. That time Johny Walker suggested the name of M.Sadiq,whose first movie Namastey & another movie Sanjog,both produced by A R Kardar,were released in 1943 & were big hits.His Rattan,released in 1944 ,broke the records all over, in box office sweep. Poonam, Shabab,Anmol Rattan, Pardes, Jawani Ki Hawa, Anjan, were few of his famous movies. The prolific director,however, was now passing through a lean phase & of late he had made light comedies,like Chhoo Mantar, Duniya Rang Rangeeli, Khota Paisa, Musafir Khana etc.
M.Sadiq was brought in & he made the movie at break neck speed & released in 1960. Film Chaudhvin ka Chand needed a director who was fully equipped with muslim background and observation of even small presentations of voice, etiquettes, religion etc. It is all that M Sadiq performed but we must keep in mind Guru Dutt was behind the screen, though uncredited but he had the lion share to beautify the film. The movie proved to be the biggest hit and earned a lot more than other movies made by Gurudutt.M.Sadiq proved to be the saviour for Gurudutt. Gurudutt,not only came out of the cesspool of debt ,but earned enough money to plan his next movie.
The movie proved to be lucky for the good Samaritan M.Sadiq also who was recognized as a specialist of the movies having Muslim background.He got big movies Taj Mahal,Noor Jahan & Bahu Begum (1967),to direct.
Riding on the peak of popularity, after Bahu Begum, Sadiq Sahab left India & migrated to Pakistan. In 1971,there under his own banner he decided to produce Baharo Phool Barsao & for the music & songs he signed Nashad & Shewan Rizvi,respectively. Both had already migrated to Pakistan from India. He started shooting at Lahore Studio. But a calamity struck & Sadiq Sahab passed away after a brief illness on 03-10-1971. The movie was completed by Hasan Tariq & was released in 1972. The movie opened to full houses & celebrated Golden Jubilee at many places in Pakistan. Even in the re-run the movie was a jubilee hit.
M.Sadiq was destined to die at his birth place Lahore.
Today’s song is the last and final song of this film. The film will be YIPPEED with this song. It is a duet by Asha Bhosle and Surinder Kaur. Enjoy….
