Today’s song is from a Cult Film ” Har Har Mahadev”-1950.
I have mentioned several times here that our family was a Kattar Shiv Bhakt. So, it was no wonder that we all saw every film collectively, which had some connection to Lord Shiva. Film Har Har Mahadev-1950 was afterall a ‘Cult’ film, so there was no count how many times we saw this film. In the later years too, whenever this film came for the 2nd, 3rd or ‘N’th re run, I had seen it.
What was so great about this film ? If you see it and judge individually, it was like any other Mythological films of those times. Story, acting, songs, presentation etc nothing was extraordinary. But then why was it called a Cult film ? Is it because it made 10 times profits than its investments ? No. Is it because of its songs ? No. Then what ?
To get an answer, we have to briefly look at the background of filmmaking in its preceding 20 years. Har Har Mahadev-50 was a special movie. It achieved the status of a “Flag Bearer”, for Mythological films to be made in the coming decade of the 50s. It is not that Religious films were not made earlier. In fact, right from 1931 onwards such Dharmik films were being made. However, subsequently, when a variety of Genres came to the films, these movies lagged behind. The first attempt of reviving the religious films came when the film Ram Rajya-43 became a Hit film, but in the 40s Stunt films dominated, so this chance subsided. Next when Har Har Mahadev became an extremely successful film, the religious films got a real boost.
If you look at the type of films made in the 40s and 50s, you will notice a clear shift of the tastes of the Indian film audience. The decade of the 30s was of the novelty of Talking films, so people saw whatever was offered to them. But by the 40s, the Industry had become a bubbly young one and films were made as per the budgets available, tastes of the audience and lastly on the choice of the producers.
The first half of the 40s was affected by the second world war. This decade brought a new class of investors/financers, who had made easy money ( read Black money) in the war period. They were ready to invest/finance in film making, but their motto was “less investment and more profits”. To achieve this, the only way was to make a C grade stunt/action film. Thus, in this decade, there were a whole lot of C grade films, consisting of Stunt/Action films, Costume dramas, Magic based imaginary films and the likes of their ilk. These films could be made in less money ( according to Bhagwan Dada, a stunt film was made in about 30 to 50 thousand rupees only) and almost at a guaranteed profit of sizable percentage. Thus, so many such films were made that we can label the 40s as ‘the decade of stunt films’. During 1941 to 1950, approximately 210 stunt/action and similar films were made, giving a rough average of 21 films per year, for 10 continuous years !
Mythological/Religious films were being made from 1931 itself. They tried to give them a competition. Though only 80 such films were made in the 40s – 1941 to 1950 – two BlockBusters from this religious film genre gave a lot of hope to makers of such films. One was Ram Rajya-1943 and the other was Har Har Mahadev-1950. In fact, the extraordinary success of Har Har Mahadev was so encouraging, that producers turned again to making Religious films in the next decade. The cost of making a religious film was much more than producing a C grade stunt film, but the turnover and profit was also many times more than the stunt films. The audience of religious films was mainly from Middle class society, who were now earning enough money to see films.
Due to higher cost of production religious films did not have the same number of films produced in the 50s decade. However 125 films were made from 1951 to 1960, giving an average of 12 films per year or 1 film per month for 10 continuous years. In this period the stunt/action film production diminished considerably – slowly walking towards a natural death of this Genre in due course ! The decade was crowded with Musical, Social and Comedy films. Even religious films provided good songs and music, as against stunt films-where it was non-existent. The audience taste spurned the Stunt/action films and those producers too turned to producing religious social, musical and comedy films.
In this process, Har Har Mahadev-50 played a major role. Not only the story, acting, direction and production values were good but its music also played a stellar role ( after Ram Rajya-1943), in reviving the wave of religious films. The credit goes to its Music Director, Avinash Vyas (21-7-12 to 20-8-84). He was comparatively new. It was just his 5th film. Starting with Mahasati Anusuya-43, he did Lehri Badmash-44, Krishna Bhakta Bodana-44 and Gunsundari-48 till then. Avinash Vyas always remained B and C grade film composer in Hindi, but in the Gujarati Music scene he was a very big name on stage and films, winning several awards there.
He had a multifaceted personality. He was a composer, lyricist, playback singer and writer too. In fact he has written 75 Dance Ballets, in few of which Asha Parekh has also danced. He published 6 books in Gujarati,the last being “Vartul”-1983.
Starting with the film “Mahasati Anusuya”-43, Avinash Anandrai Vyas ( 21-7-1912 to 20-8-1984 ) gave music to 59 Hindi films, composing 438 songs, 175 Gujarati films and 1 Rajasthani film. His last film in Hindi was Bhagwan Shrikrishna-85. He is on record for writing Lyrics in 2 films, one song each, namely for Aangan-59 and Bhakta Dhruv kumar-64. He sang 3 songs in the film Charnon ki daasi-41. He had acted in a Gujarati filmalso-Gorakhdhanda-49.
He was a very talented composer. Unfortunately, he never got any support from any big banner production house. Even Gujarati producers did not patronise him for big banners and he remained in the crowd of Religious, stunt, costume and Mythological films. Only one notable social film can be quoted in his favour- Adhikar-54, in which Avinash Vyas really gave some popular songs by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosale.
He got Gujrat Govt awards 10 times. The Sangeet Natak Academy of Gujrat gave him an award. He was given Padmashree in 1970. He made 8 Foreign stage shows.
His most famous film Har har Mahadev-1950 is also my favourite one.
Though neglected in Hindi, he was honoured suitably in Gujrat, in his lifetime.
Avinash Vyas collaborated with great songwriters like Qamar Jalalabadi, Madan, Prem Dhawan, Pradeep Patel, Gopal Singh Nepali, Badrinath Vyas, Sadiq Lakhnavi, Devendra, Pt. Sagar, Indeevar, Nilkanth Tiwari, Sagar Husain, Qamar Jalalabadi, Kavi Pradeep, Saraswati Kumar Deepak, Bharat Vyas, B. P. Bhargav, Raja Nene, Ramesh Gupta, Shamim Jaipuri, Indra Chandra, Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, Pt. Mukhram Sharma, Pt. Madhur and Ramesh Shastri.
Avinash’s compositions were sung by the melodious voices of great singers like Mohammed Rafi, Suman Hemadi Kalyanpur, Anand Kumar Chitragupta, Badrinath Vyas, Dilraj Kaur, Sulochana Kadam, Asha Bhosle, Shamshad Begum, Manna Dey, Mukesh, Geeta Dutt, Hemant Kumar, Talat Mehmood, Kishore Kumar, Meena Kapoor, Ameerbai Karnataki, Krishna Kalle, Mahendra Kapoor, Madhubala Zaveri, , Mohan Tara, Lata Mangeshkar, Sudha Malhotra, S. Balbir, , Husn Ara, Kavi Pradeep and Usha Mangeshkar.
I had seen this film, not once but many times. It was full of trick scenes and It had become a cult film. Trilok Kapoor, who acted the part of lord Shiva was rumoured to have a real snake around his neck during the film shooting. Nirupa Roy who played the role of Uma, was quite scared of snakes and it became a problem. Finally, an artificial snake was used, when their joint shots were shot.
HAR HAR MAHADEV-1950 was produced and directed by Jayant Desai under the banner of Jayant Desai Production. With this one film alone Jayant Desai became a millionaire in those days.
It was also the FIRST film where the pair of Trilok Kapoor and Nirupa Roy became a hit as Shankar-Parvati and they played this role in 6 subsequent films, out of the 18 films they did together.
The film had songs written by Ramesh Shastri-who had written the famous song of BARSAT-Mera lal dupatta malmal ka. His song in this film ‘Kankar kankar se main puchhun shankar mera kahan hai’ became a hit. It was sung by Geeta Dutt.
This is a story, when Tarakasur, the king of demons invades the land of Gods, to avenge the insult meted out to his mother by Indra. Tarakasur wins the war and all Gods are kept in captivity-including the offender Indra. Lord Vishnu and Brahma ji knew that due to a boon given by Brahma to Tarkasur, only Shiva’s son could kill him. The Asur had cleverly asked for this boon, as it was known that Shiva lived an ascetic life, was single and unlikely to get married. He is always doing Tapascharya.
Kamdev is sent to lure Shiva from his meditation, but Shiva is so angry that, opening his Third Eye, he burns Kamdev. Now only Uma,the daughter of king Himalaya can save the world, Uma(Nirupa Roy) starts penance to propitiate Shiva(Trilok Kapoor).
Due to her earnest bhakti and devotion, Shiva relents and breaks his Meditation. Shiva and Uma get Married at the midnight of Mahashivaratri. On the sixth day after the marriage, Kartikeya (Skand) is born. He destroys Tarkasur and frees all Gods, including Indra.
Today’s video song is sung by Geeta Roy and chorus. It is a good song. Enjoy this song in its Diamond jubilee year….
