Today’s song is a song sung by Madhubala Jhaveri, for the film Jeevan Sathi-1957.
This film had a criss-cross and a jumble of lovers. The imagination of the story writer was stretched to the maximum to get the criss-crossed loving pairs together by the end of the film. It was a story unique by itself and I guess such a thing would never happen in real life. The film was produced by Dhanwant Shah under his own banner- D.S.Films, Bombay. It was directed by R.S.Tara and the music was by Bulo C Rani with the assistant C.Arjun- a composer in the making.
In Spite of having a well known star cast and a good music composer, the film was not successful because the story was not believable. First, let us see what the story was….
JEEWAN SAATHI-1957 was an obscure film,though its cast was one of the most wanted in those days.It was a story of a young man Harish,whose father dies when in foreign country. His mother too dies here and he finds that his sister has broken her engagement to a boy and fallen in love with a married advocate,having also a son.The jilted boy meets with an accident ,lands in a hospital where he meets the advocate’s wife and falls in love with her. Harish clears all the mess and all are happily settled including him with Usha kiron.
The Hero of this film was Ashok Kumar. In 1957, he was already 46 year old. He was such a charismatic actor that even in his age -41 to 50 years (and beyond) he was much in demand as a young hero, singing songs and loving much younger actresses as his Heroines. People went to see him on screen irrespective of what the film was about and who the other actors were. This was the exclusive honour for an actor !
The cast of the film was Ashok kumar, Usha Kiron, Anup Kumar, jabin jalil,Amarnath, Shammi,Protima devi, Murad, Dhumal ( His name was always written wrong in Hindi as ‘ धूमल’ , whereas it was actually ‘ धुमाळ ‘), Iftekhar, Salvi, Leela Mishra etc.etc. The name Salvi in the cast may be unknown to many, so let us know more about him here.
Dinkar Shivram Salvi (04 December 1904 – 29 October 1980) better known as screen name “Dada Salvi”, was an actor of the silent & talkie era of Indian Cinema. He was a part of the first Indian talkie film “Alam Ara” (1931). He has acted in 20 silent movies. He has worked in Hindi & Marathi movies.
Dinkar Shivram Salvi aka Dada Salvi was born on 04 December 1904 in a village Phansob in Ratnagiri, Bombay Presidency undivided India, now in Maharashtra. After completing his education, he joined the Police Department. During service period, he was taking part in plays. Shri Tipnis, a well known play master saw Salvi and advised to come to Bombay. Acting in plays became a part of his life, so he decided to leave the job and came to Bombay.
In Bombay, Tipnis introduced Salvi to K. B. Athawale, working as manager, actor, director in Excelsior Film Company owned by Seth Wazeer Aziz. The company was searching for talented actors and Athwale offered Salvi to join Excelsior Film Company on a monthly salary of ₹. 25. Salvi accepted the job & joined Excelsior Film Company.
Salvi’s first silent film was “Khoon-e-Nahaq” (1928) and became very popular. Looking to his potential in acting, The Imperial Film Company offered Dalvi work with higher monthly pay. After joining Imperial Film Company, Salvi acted in 20 silent films like Madanmanjri, Indira BA, Bhola Shikar, Cinema Girl, Hamara Hindustan, Raat Ki Baat, Khuda Ki Shan and many more. It is said, while working with Imperial Film Company, Salvi fell in love with his co-actress Sakhubai & later they married. Probably it was the first love Marriage of the first Maharashtrian acting couple of Hindi Films.
Salvi has worked with Jayant Desai in the film Poladi Pahelwan – Iron Man (1931) for Paramount Films. He also acted in Marathi films like Aut Ghatkecha Raja, Bhakta Prahlad, Chatrapati Sambhaji, Thaksen Rajputra under Dadasaheb Torne of Saraswati Cinetone. Salvi’s role in “Chatrapati Sambhaji ” as Sambhaji’s evil advisor ‘Kalusha Kabji’ won him great acclaim. Impressed with the acting of Salvi as “Kalusha Kabji”, Huns Pictures, Kolhapur, invited him to join them on a three figure salary. Salvi left Imperial and joined Huns.
“Premveer” (1937) was Salvi’s first film with Huns Pictures. This was a turning point in his career where he came to be associated with Master Vinayak & Marathi Films. Their team led to many wonderful performances. He was then seen mostly in Marathi Films with an occasional Hindi film. In Brahmchari, Salvi played the role of a father of the heroine. Salvi acted in Marathi films like Savangadi, Brandi Chi Batli, Devta and many more. Later Huns Pictures changed to Navyug Chitrapat and made Amrut (1941). Salvi then worked in many Hindi and Marathi films with Master Vinayak, V. Shantaram. After 1947, Dada Salvi mainly worked in Marathi films. Dada Salvi died on 29 October 1980 in Poona (Pune), Maharashtra.
In the film Jeevan sathi-1957, there were 5 Lyricists and 7 singers for 8 songs. Today’s song is sung by Madhubala Jhaveri. She was not a very prolific singer like other leading singers. She sang about 100= songs in 52 Hindi films from 1951 to 1968. She sang in Marathi and her songs, especially the Bhavgeets, were very popular. Her photo was not available for many years and people were very curious about how she looked. This reminds me of another well known singer – Shamshad Begum. Though she sang from 1941 onwards, till about the 60’s her photo was not available. It was only after her father died, she published just one photo and subsequently other photos also came about.
Madhubala Jhaveri was born on 19-5-1935 in Bombay’s predominantly Marathi locality Girgaon. Her mother Heerabai and aunt (mausi) Shyamalabai Majgaonkar were singers. They belonged to Sawantwadi, in Konkan in coastal Maharashtra. These sisters started a Music school ” Shri Swami Samarth Sangeet Vidyalay” in 1929. Singers like Mohantara Talpade and nalini jaywant were their students.
Heerabai’s husband Vanjibhai Jhaveri was from Surat. He worked in the Ford company in Bombay. Madhubala was third among 5 children – 2sons and 3 daughters. She learnt many musical instruments. She did M.A. in Music from S.N.D.T. University and Sangeet Visharad from Gandharva Mahavidyalaya.
She was invited for a Marathi film, by Snehal Bhatkar. Then Manohar lal Arora gave her an opportunity to sing for the film Bhoole Bhatke-52. However, her songs in film Rajpoot-51 were released first. Hansraj Behl became her Mentor. He gave her further training and also arranged for her Urdu tuition.
Madhubala sang in 14 films for Hansraj Behl. She also sang for C.Ramchandra, Mukesh, Jamal Sen, Bhole Shreshtha, Avinash Vyas, Krishna Dayal, Vinod, manna Dey, A.R.Qureshi, Shankar Dasgupta, Ram ganguli, Snehal Bhatkar, Dhumi khan, Ramlal, Bipin-Babul, Husnlal – Bhagatram, Shankar-Jaikishen, Sanmukh upadhyay, Shivram etc.
She got married to Madan Mohan Chawla in 1958, She had two daughters and one son. Her husband died in 1990. When the Hindi film industry left her high and dry, she sang on All India Radio. She did shows in the USA, Canada, Europe and Africa. She sang in Swahili language, Punjabi, Gujarati and Marathi. Madhubala died on 11-9-2013. ( based on an article in the book ” Swar Sagar” by Swapnil Porey).
Today’s song is the last and final song of this film making it an YIPPEED film.

Chorus
Lyrics
Hoke bada mera laal karega sewa Hindustan ki
ban ke Jawaharlaal badal dega taqdeer jahaan ki
hoke bada mera laal karega sewa Hindustan ki
hoke bade ham sewa karenge apne Hindustan ki
ban ke Jawaharlaal badal denge taqdeer jahaan ki
aa aa aa aa
hoke bada mera laal karega sewa Hindustan ki
mukh par muskaayega paseena
seekhega mehnat se jeena
mazdooron ki aah sunega aa
aur fariyaad kisaan ki
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa aa
hoke bade ham sewa karenge apne Hindustan ki
ban ke Jawaharlaal badal denge taqdeer jahaan ki
kabhi daya ki bheekh na lega aa
adhikaaron ke liye ladega aa
kabhi daya ki bheekh na lega aa
jis dam desh pukaaregaa
parwaah na karega jaan ki
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa
ho ke bade ham sewa karenge apne Hindustan ki
banke Jawaharlaal badal denge taqdeer jahaan ki
sach kar doonga maa ka sapna
naam karoonga jag mein apna
aman ka jhanda leke badhoonga
raahon mein toofaan ki
aaa aa aa aa
aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa aa
hoke bade ham sewa karenge apne Hindustan ki
ban ke Jawaharlaal badal denge taqdeer jahaan ki
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
jahaan ki
aa aa aa
jahaan ki
