Today’s fun song is from the film ‘Kunwara Baap’ (1942).
The first reaction after reading the title of the film will be Mehmood’s film of 1974 having the same title. But rest assured today’s film was made in 1942 and had a different story. Mehmood’s film was based on an incurable disease – Polio, suffered by a child and it had a touch of pathos, creating sympathy and allied feelings. But ‘Kunwara Baap’ of 1942 was a fun film.
In the Hindi film industry, there have been many literary giants who dabbled with film making in various capacities like acting, story writing etc. Most of such giants were soon disillusioned and left the films with a vow never to try it again. One such glaring example is that of Mushi Premchand ji. But there were also some who succeeded in films. One such name is AMRITLAL NAGAR.
He was one of the exceptional literary giants who excelled in literature and also was successful in Hindi film industry. After reading what he had achieved in the Hindi literary world, I am sure, you will be amazed. He wrote
13 Short story books
14 Novels
6 Satires
7 Plays
21 Children’s books
6 Translations from different languages and also edited
7 Periodicals.
Amritlal Nagar won 18 awards for his works from different organisations and states in India. When he entered the Hindi film world, he wrote stories, screenplays, dialogues and lyrics. He also did acting in some films. Some of the films in which he was involved in different capacities were ‘Bahurani’ (1941), ‘Sangam’ (1941), ‘Kunwara Baap’ (1942), ‘Uljhan’ (1942), ‘Kisi Se Na Kahna’ (1942), ‘Raja’ (1943), ‘Paraya Dhan’ (1943), ‘Kalpana’ (1946), ‘Gunjan’ (1947) and ‘Chor’ (1950).
Amritlal Nagar (17 August 1916 – 23 February 1990) was one of the prominent Hindi writers of the twentieth century. He started off as an author and journalist, but moved on to be an active writer in the Indian film industry for 7 years. He worked as a drama producer in All India Radio between December 1953 and May 1956. At this point he realized that a regular job would always be a hindrance to his literary life, so he devoted himself to freelance writing.
Often cited as the true literary heir of Premchand, Amritlal Nagar created his own independent and unique identity as a litterateur and is counted as one of the most important and multi-faceted creative writers of Indian literature. In the words of famous critic, Dr. Ram Bilas Sharma,”Undoubtedly, Amritlal Nagar will be remembered as an important novelist. For me, he is a very major sculptor of fiction.”
Amritlal Nagar’s real genius lay in the art of developing a range of characters in his stories and novels. Commenting on his distinctive ability to operationalize a story at many levels in complex and multi-dimensional ways, another prominent writer and critic of Hindi, Shreelal Shukla notes, “Rather than imposing his own personality on his character, Nagar ji dissolves himself in the character and in the process, he absorbs at the experiential level, all of those complexities that even the simplest characters nurture in the forms of anxieties and knotted puzzles. This work can only be done by a major creative writer.”
Nagar was born on 17 August 1916 in Chaurahe Wali Gali, Gokulpura, in a Gujarati Nagar Brahmin family in Agra, India. He died on 23 February 1990 in Chowk, Lucknow, India. His parents were Rajaram and Vidyawati Nagar. He first published a poem in the fortnightly Anand in December 1928. The poem was inspired by a protest against the Simon Commission in which Amritlal suffered injury during lathi charge.
He married Pratibha (original name Savitri Devi alias Bitto) on 31 January 1932. They had four children (Late Kumud Nagar, Late Sharad Nagar, Dr. Achala Nagar and Smt. Aarti Pandya).
Nagar worked as a dispatch clerk in the Lucknow office of All India United Insurance Company for 18 days. He provided voluntary services to the publication division of the Nawal Kishore Press and the editorial office of Madhuri in 1939. From December 1953 to May 1956 he worked as a drama producer in Akashvani (All India Radio), Lucknow, but resigned from this position so that he could focus all of his time and attention to his literary pursuits.
From 1940 to 1947, Nagar wrote screen plays and dialogues for the film industry in Bombay (now Mumbai), Kolhapur, and Madras (now Chennai). He was one of the early pioneers specializing in cinematic dubbing that involved the art of translating films of one language into another. He dubbed the films ‘Naseeruddin in Bukhara’ and ‘Zoya’ from Russian and MS Subbulakshmi’s ‘Meera’ from Tamil into Hindi. [Adapted from Encyclopedia of India Cinema, Hindi Sahitykar.com, wiki, IMDB, CITSF and my notes].
Film ‘Kunwara Baap’ (Bachelor Father) was a 1942 Hindi comedy film directed by Kishore Sahu. The film was the directorial debut for Sahu, and NR Acharya’s debut for his banner. Acharya had just started his production company Acharya Arts Productions. The story was written by Kishore Sahu who went on to write and direct films like ‘Kali Ghata’ (1951), ‘Mayurpankh’ (1953) and others. The music direction of ‘Kunwara Baap’ was by Ramchandra Pal. The film had Kishore Sahu starring as the bachelor father with co-stars Protima Dasgupta, Anjali Devi, Nana Palsikar, Amritlal Nagar and Moni Chatterjee. It was one of the winners of the BFJA (Bengal Film Journalists Association) award – Best Indian Films Award for best film for 1943. The lyrics were written by Amritlal Nagar, Balam Pardesi and Satyakam Sharma. However individual lyricist for each song is not identified.
The story of this film, in short, was…..
Prannath finds an infant abandoned in his car on his engagement day. The finding leads to several comedic situations in the film. The film was inspired by the Hollywood film ‘Bachelor Mother’ (1939), directed by Garson Kanin and starring Ginger Rogers. The story was reversed in Kunwara Baap, with the hero getting landed with the child.
Prannath (Kishore Sahu) goes to the jewelry shop to buy a ring for his to-be fiancee. While he is in the store, an unwed mother leaves her infant in the back of Prannath’s car. When he comes out he realizes that he is stuck with the baby much to his discomfiture as his betrothed refuses to believe his story. The situation gives rise to several funny sequences till the villainous father of the child admits to being the real father and agrees to marry the mother of the abandoned child.
Many films were made on the same story, with some variations, like ‘Vazhkai’ (1949) in Tamil, ‘Jeevitham’ (1950) in Telugu and ‘Bahar’ (1951) in Hindi etc.
Music Director Ramchandra Pal, born in 1909 was actually a medical doctor, who entered this profession in various capacities. As an actor he did 3 films – ‘Manmohan’ (1936), ‘Deccan Queen’ (1936) and ‘Aazad’ (1940). He produced and directed a film ‘Raj Nandini’ (1962), made under his own banner – Pal Films. However, this film was never released.
He started his music career with Tamil films, ‘Bilwamangal’ (1932) and ‘Sarangdhara’ (1935). He shifted to Calcutta and gave music to Bangla films, ‘Rajani’ (1936) and ‘Indira’ (1936). His first Hindi film was ‘Prem Sagar’ (1939), a film made in the south by a Bombay film company. This he confirmed in the interview given to Harmandir Singh ji published in the Listener’s Bulletin #69. [Harmandir Singh ji is the compiler of the Hindi Film Geet Kosh].
He was connected as MD with Bombay Talkies films ‘Kangan’ (1939), ‘Punarmilan’ (1940), ‘Bandhan’ (1940), ‘Aazad’ (1940) and ‘Naya Sansar’ (1941). His last film as MD was ‘Raj Nandini’ of 1962. In all he gave music to 20 films. He also sang 15 songs in 7 films. After 1942 he left singing and after 62 he left the film industry and started his private medical clinic in Shivaji Park, Dadar, Bombay. He practiced till his death on 21-1-1993.
Today’s song is sung by Kishre Sahu and Pratima Dasgupta. Geet Kosh lists three songwriters for this film –
