Today’s song is from the film Badi Maa-1945.
The second world war had affected the British Raj very badly. There was Rationing of essential commodities and food items such as Rice and Sugar as well as other necessities like petrol, Kerosene etc. The film industry was hit greatly because the main ingredient of films- The Raw film- was put under Rationing. Small filmmakers were hit badly and the big ones got a limited quota based on their average production of the last 5 years. Like other items of rationing, even Raw film was available in Black market at an exorbitant price.
In addition to this problem, the British Government had announced grants and Raw film at concessional rates, if the filmmakers made a ” Propaganda’ or ” War Effort’ film, spinning a story which could motivate and encourage the Indian people to help the government in its war efforts. Many small producers fell prey to this enticement and made propaganda films. Big production houses who needed extra Raw Film for their films quietly made such films and earned the grants and concessional rates for raw film. Those who did not do so were pressured by the government.
Film Badi Maa-1945 was also one such film, made by the helpless Master Vinayak to save his company. Another notable Propaganda film was ” Panna-1944′, made by Navyug chitrapat Ltd. Bombay, owned by Acharya Atre. He was a famous, noted and successful writer in marathi and also a close friend of actress Vanmala (read consort). In this film actress Geeta Nizami got a reward of Rs. 9000 for her best acting, from the Government.
Here is my comment dated 23-12-2011 made on this Blog…
“.BADI MAA-1945 was a film of Prafull Pictures of Master Vinayak (Father of actress Nanda).It was produced and directed by Master Vinayak with music by K.Datta or Datta Korgaonkar or D.P.Korgaonkar. The story was by V.S.Khandekar, noted Marathi writer, who was later the First recipient of the Gyanpeeth Award for his novel “YAYAATI”. The lyrics were by Anjum Pilibhiti, Zia Sarhadi and Raja Badhe,who was a noted Marathi poet.
Master Vinayak was forced to produce this war effort movie to save his company, because the Government at that time desperately needed public support for their war efforts. Such pictures were given grants for production also. If they refused,the consequences were dire. The word Badi Maa,in this film meant Motherland-India.In Dinapur,Durgadas(Salvi) was worried about his son Dinesh(Ishwarlal) studying in London,due to attacks by Germans.Moneylender Ghanashyam(Girish)agrees to write off his loan,if his daughter Usha(Meenakshi )marries his son Rajendra(Yakoob).But Rajendra and Mona(Sitara Devi) are Japanese spies in India.When Durgadas refuses ,his house is confiscated,sold and he is on road.Ghanashyam’s daughter Hema(Noorjehan) does not like this as she loves Dinesh.Dinesh comes back to find father poor and destitute.SuddenlyJapanese attack the village and Rajendra helps them .Usha urges Rajendra to fight for Badi Maa i.e. Motherland and she dies due to bullets. Rajendra repents and saves his village,along with Dinesh. In this,Rajendra also dies for the motherland or Badi Maa. Dinesh and Hema get married.”
The cast of the film consisted of Nurjahan, Ishwarlal, Yaqub, Jog, Salvi, Damuanna, Meenakshi Shirodkar, Sitara, Leela Mishra etc. Lata mangeshkar who was about 16 years or so, had acted and sung a duet with Meenakshi in this film. Marathi actors like Salvi and Damuanna Malvankar became big stars later in Marathi films. Damuanna was a very popular comedian. He utilised his squint eyes effectively to create natural humour and Salvi was a fixed character actor in most Marathi films.
Damuanna Malvankar’s full name was Damodar Rajaram Malvankar. He was born in a poor Bramhin family at Nippani (near Kolhapur) on 8-3-1893. He had only the basic education. In those days, there were no films, but stage dramas were very popular. Getting a job as an actor was easy. Damu had a natural squint and he skillfully used it as his best weapon.
At the age of 15 or so, he joined Keshav Rao Datey’s theatrical company ” Maharashtra Natak mandali”. He used to get only comedy roles. After a few years, he joined Deenanath Mangeshkar’s ” Balwant Sangeet Mandali’. When Talkie films started, he joined cinema along with director Vishram Bedekar. He did films with Master Vinayak and Acharya Atre.His major films were with Vinayak and Atre, playing the caricature of a Marathi gentleman (Brandichi Batli/Brandy Ki Botal, Brahmachari). His image became identified with the part of Chimanrao, the middle-aged householder of C.V. Joshi’s political satires, partnered by Vishnupant Jog’s Gundyabhau (Lagna Pahave Karun, Sarkari Pahune). They remained partners for many years. Other directors filmed Joshi stories with them (e.g. Raja Thakur’s Gharcha Jhala Thoda) but never with Vinayak’s incisiveness. Malvankar went on to play many stereotyped character parts, usually as the foil to the lead actor, and one major ‘serious’ role, the lead character of Gajabhau.
Damuanna was a very popular comedy actor in Marathi films. He worked in over 50 Marathi films. At one time he used to get more than double of what the Hero of the film used to get for his role. His most famous film role was that of ” Chimanrao” a fictional character in Marathi literature. His companion used to be ‘ Gundyabhau” acted by V.S.Jog. This comedy pair was a household name during their peak time.
Like all others, he too worked in the Hindi versions of Marathi’s successful films. In all, he acted in 12 Hindi films. They were Krishnarjun Yuddha-34, Andheri Duniya-36, Bramhachary-38, Mera Haque-39, Ghar ki Rani-40, Amrit-41, Sangam-41, Badi Maa-45, Jeevan yatra -46, Subhadra-46, Main tera Hoon-47 and Duniya Jhukti Hai-60.
Damuanna was a good friend of Sunil Dutt and Sunil wanted Damuanna, though retired, to work in at least one of his films. It took about a month to convince Damuanna to work in this film – Duniya Jhukti Hai-1960, but finally he agreed. Along with him another old Marathi artiste Madhu Apte also was invited to be in this film. Thus these two old timers of Marathi/Hindi films appeared in this film.
His only daughter Bharati Malavankar was a Heroine in Marathi films. Damuanna had very cordial family relations with the Mangeshkar family, from the days he had worked for Deenanath’s drama company, when all these children were too young. This culminated in Hridaynath Mangeshkar marrying Bharathi Malvankar. This comedian, Damuanna Malavankar died on 14-5-1975.
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 him to come to Bombay. Acting in plays became a part of his life, so he decided to leave the job and come 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 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.
