Today’s song is a Bhajan from the social film Daamad-1951.
The film was made by the Beema productions, Bombay and was directed by Brij Rani. The Producer was N.T.Mudneni and the music was provided by three MDs, namely Shyamu (3 Songs), Indravadan Bhatt (4 songs), and Ram Panjwani (1 song). The singers were Ram Panjwani, Ishu, Shrimati Vishnilal, Sulochana Kadam and Khan Mastana. The cast included Master Bhagwan, krishnakumari, Yashodhara Katju, Protima Devi, Cuckoo, Shyamu, Ishu Jagirdar and many others. one can notice, from the names, that there was Sindhi dominance in all departments.
The attraction of the Cinema world was so big in those days that people from almost all walks of life tried to join the film line in some or the other capacity. One can understand the attraction to draw people from various fields, but when you see people from Teaching side also falling for this show business, you feel surprised. But then writers and Teachers have been in this industry since its early era, but they all, without exception, visited here only for a limited period.
Looking back in the past, one can count the names of Vanmala, B.A;B.T.who taught in a Gwalior College, Dewan Sharar, writer of plays, novels and teaching in Art School, Chitragupta who was a college teacher in Bihar, Acharya Atre, B.A;B.T., Teacher in schools and Colleges, Lyricist Moti, B.A.(he was actually M.A.), actress Shakuntala Paranjape, daughter of ‘Wrangler’ Paranjape and an author and a teacher, and now in this film you find Professor Ram panjwani from a college in Bombay.
Apart from people from the teaching profession, some odd people with most unconnected professions too had joined the film line. Some names I remember offhand are…Fearless Nadia who was working in a Circus, Dara Singh, International Wrestler, Music Director of film Gogola-1966, Mukund Rai had a flourishing Mining Business in M.P., Hero Ranjan (Ramnarayan Sarma), highly educated, a Dance specialist, editor of magazines and an Olympic Grade fencer, Olympic level International Cyclist Jankidas Mehra, Famous Sitarist Ravi Shankar, Classical singers Manik verma, Firoz Dastoor, Saraswati Rane, Ram Marathe, Hirabai Badodekar, Suresh Babu Mane and many such artistes of entirely different specialities had joined film line, albeit for a short period.
Ram Panjwani was also one such person. Ram Prataprai Panjwani (1911–1987) was an Indian writer, folk singer and educationist, known for his contributions to Sindhi literature, Sindhi and Hindi films.
Panjwani was born at Larkana in the Sindh province of erstwhile British India (presently in Pakistan). He was born on 20 November 1911. He graduated from Mumbai University in 1934 and started his career as a teacher at the D. J. Sindh Government Science College, Karachi. After Indian independence in 1947, he relocated to Mumbai and started working as a member of faculty of Jai Hind College, Mumbai in their Sindhi department. Later, he moved to Mumbai University as the reader in Sindhi department and headed the department from 1974 to 1976.
Panjwani published several literary works in Sindhi language, starting with his debut novel, Padma (1939) which preceded works like Qaidy, Sharmila, Asanjo Ghar, Ahe Na ahe and Shall Dhiaru Na Jaman. He also acted in four Sindhi films, Jhulelal, Ladlee, Hojmalo and Shall Dhiaru Na Jaman, the last one based on his own novel. He received Sahitya Akademi award in 1964 for his work, Anokha Azmda. He was the founder of the cultural forum, Sita Sindhu Bhavan and was the editor of the Sindhi publication, Hindustan Sindhi Weekly. The Government of India awarded him the fourth highest Indian civilian honour of Padma Shri in 1981.
In Hindi films, Ram Panjwani had been an actor in Berozgaar-36 and Chhotisi duniya-39, a singer in Damad-51 and Maa ka pyar-49, an MD for Magroor-50 and Damad-51 and also a Lyricist for one song in film Teen Batti char Rasta-53. He also produced the first Sindhi-language film Ekta (1942), in the pre-independence era.
Ram Panjwani died in Chandigarh on 31 March 1987 at the age of 75.
There was a Sindhi singer Shrimati Vishnilal in this film’s songs. VISHNI LAL was born in Hyderabad( Sindh) in 1926. She came to Bombay in 1943 to sing in films. Ram Daryani recommended her to Khemchand Prakash and he gave a break to her in the film Chiragh-43. She sang 14 songs in very few films like Qurbani-43,Anjuman-48 Mitti ke khilone-48,Maghroor-50,Damad-51, and Chhoti Duniya-53 . Her family shifted to Bombay in 1947,after Partition. She was married to a businessman Mansukhani,in 1953. She then settled in Dubai, with her family.
Daamad-1951 is the film which inspired Bhagwan to write a comedy social musical film story for his evergreen film Albela. In the decade of 1940’s, Bhagwan had specialised in low budget C grade action and stunt films. Usually his films would be completed in Rs. 60 to 70 thousand rupees only. He used to churn out films after films with the same set of actors with almost the same story in all his films. The audience of Master Bhagwan’s films came to the theatre to see his antics and comedy, coupled with action scenes of fighting and incredible stunts.
Usually Bhagwan never played the hero’s role in his own films. The hero in his films would necessarily be Baburao Pehelwan and Bhagwan used to be his sidekick. Both had their love interests – usually the heroine for Baburao and her friend or maid for Bhagwan. Like Baburao and Bhagwan, even the lady actors were fixed. He had a set of such actresses like Shanta Patel, Chanchal, Leela Gupte, Vitha Lokare, Usha Shukla etc. They used to be in his films by turns. Actor Azim Bhai (who later became the famous Fight Master in Hindi films) was usually the good natured but timid employer of these two. Their job was to protect the Seth ji from goons, fight with them and finally win the girls in the end. Film after film the same story was used with slight changes here and there. The audience was least bothered about the story or the histrionics etc. They came for the dialogues, the fights and stunts.
Very few people know that both Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar were his great fans. When Bhagwan fell on bad times and shifted to a 2-room tenement in a chawl in Dadar, Dilip Kumar, while going for his daily shootings, used to stop at the chawl, honk till Bhagwan appeared in the gallery and waved to him, and then he proceeded to his work.
It was Raj Kapoor, who used to see his shootings in Jagriti studio, very near to RK studio. He once suggested to him to try making a social film. Incidentally, his good friend C Ramchandra (Anna for Bhagwan) also pressed him to dare making a social film. CR even promised him to give music to his social film in his popular name C Ramchandra (he gave music to Bhagwan’s films in the name of ‘Annasaheb ‘ till then). Bhagwan started thinking seriously on this issue. At that very time he got an offer to work in a social comedy film, to be produced by Beema Films of MT Mudnani and directed by Brij Rani. Since this was a social film Bhagwan wanted to give it a try. He wanted to assess the feasibility of making his own social film.
The film was ‘Damaad’ (1951). The story was simple.
Chamak(Bhagwan) is too simple a person,who is a teacher in a school,where even his students make his fun.He gets married to a rich man’s daughter-Geeta(Krishna kumari).Chamak loses his job and his Father in law takes him to his house in a bigger town.Chamak is impressed with all the wealthy living and eats like a hog and sleeps like a dog every day.Honoured initially as the Son in Law of the house,slowly he is despised,insulted and treated shabbily by in laws for doing nothing. One day when Chamak is singing alone,the manager of the local theatre hears him,gets impressed and offers him job of a singer.Chamak accepts it and in no time becomes a famous singer and tours All India.
Seeing that he is famous, his in-laws start pampering him.
Now Chamak has become clever. He teaches a lesson to his in-laws and finally they realise their folly and all is well that ends well.
Today’s song is a Bhajan sung by Ram Panjwani and Ishu. I do not know anything about this singer Ishu. This is a lengthy Bhajan. Enjoy….

Shree Raam Chandr jee kee katha shuru hoti hai

ik din rani Kaikayee bolin
Raam jaayen banvaas
ye sunkar sab praaniyon ke
ruk gaye man mein shwaas
Raam jee sunkar bolen

hoon maata ka daas
koi bhi chinta na kare
jo main jaaun vanvaas
tere jeevan kee kya aas hai
o o o
tere jeevan kee kya aas hai
o o o
tere jeevan kee kya aas hai
jag mein kiskee rahi shaan
jaane vaalee hai ye jaan
moorakh kahna mera maan
tu ek pal ka hai mehmaan
apne maalik ko pahchaan
ho jaaye bedaa paar re
kar Raam bhajan
man Raam bhajan
tera ho jaaye beda paar re
kar Raam bhajan

chaudah baras guzar gaye
chaudah baras van mein rah kar r r r
jab laute banvaasee
roye vahaan ke pakshee praanee
van par chhaayee udaasee
chhod chaley hum sabko bhagwan
tod chale ho sabka sahaara
dekho to Bhagwaan zara
har nain se bahtee dhaaraa
tod chale kyun aas re
o o o o
tod chale kyun aas re
o o o o

rokar boli ye shabnam
deke jaate ho kyun gham
kaise jiyenge ab hum
aansu bahte hain chham chham
aasha le kar baithhe hum

kar Raam bhajan
man Raam bhajan
tera ho jaye beda paar re
kaho jee Shree Raam

ban vaalon ki ye haalat thhee
to Ayodhya vaalon ka kya hal thha
ban se jab shree Raam jee
Ayodhya nagree ee ee aaye
hans kar saaree praja ne
charnon mein nain bichhaaye
khushee khushee har ek premee ne
ghar ghar deep jagaaye
madhur suron mein deewaalee ke
nar naari ne gaane gaaye
sab se boley bahaar ye
o o o o

o o o o
sab se boley bahaar ye
naacha har ek ka tan man
aaye aaye vo bhagwan
aao kar lo sab darshan
gaao geet manoranjan
Ayodhya nagri hai dulhan
goonjee paayal ki jhankaar re
kar Raam bhajan
man Raam bhajan
tera ho jaaye beda paar re
kar Raam bhajan
man Raam bhajan
tera ho jaaye beda paar re
baaba

kaho jee Shree Raam
