#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
—————————————————————

Today on 24th December 2024 we are celebrating the birth centenary of the legendary singer Mohd Rafi. He was born on 24th December 1924. On this occasion we are presenting songs sung by Mohd Rafi and today whole day we will be celebrating Mohd Rafi Saab. The celebrations have already been started since last two three days with radio programs being presented that were dedicated to Rafi Saab. Also one of the programs on Vividh Bharti presented young singers who sing the songs of Rafi Saab and their voices are known as the voice of Rafi. Listening to this program was very heartening as the new generation youngsters sing the songs of Rafi Saab.

teri aawaaz se rahe bekhabar
hamare dil ki kab ye mazaal hai

Due apologies to Majrooh saab for tweaking his well-known ghazal from Aakhri Daao (1958)
Remembering and celebrating Mohammed Rafi saab on his birth centenary (24 December 1924-31 July 1980).
It is just 44 years since Rafi saab passed away in 1980, but ever since he graced our HFM with his matchless voice, it is as if the voice always existed and will remain us forever.

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.

Today I present another Bappi Lahiri composition which I came across recently during my search of songs sung by Bhupinder Singh. This song is from the movie “Do Ustaad-1982”.

Today’s song is from a ‘Social’ film Chaar Chaand-1953.

Actually there was nothing ‘Social’ about this film. It was a simple, worn out story of a Raj Kumar and a wicked Vazier (Dewan). They both love the same girl. Additionally, there was an identical pair of sisters too, to add masala to the story.

Today 22nd December’2024 is the 6001st day for the blog. So it is another important day since it is the ‘starting point’ of a ‘new beginning’ again. At one of my previous employer my senior always uses to say that the first day of every month is the most suitable day to start anything new. Here the context was of implementing new things, new procedures, new SOPs at workplace. In our day to day routine also when a calendar month ends and a new month begins we generally are excited and it does give a ‘new feeling’ and motivates to take a ‘fresh guard’. I remember in my childhood days when the song from ‘Pehli Taareekh’ used to play on radio, listening to it was very joyful, and even now whenever this song is played on ‘Vividh Bhartee’ on first day of a month it gives me the same excitement and feeling.

‘Dekhaa Pyaar Tumhaaraa’ (1963) is an obscure film which I came to know only because of its title song which used to be often heard on Vividh Bharati during my younger days. The film was produced by Taher under the banner of Mamta Movies. The film was directed by K Pervez (Kalpataru). The cast included Subiraj and Naaz in the lead role with the support cast of Achala Sachdev, Madan Puri, Bhagwan, Sadhna Chowdhary, Helen, Sham Kumar, Lotan, Baby Ismat etc.

Today’s song is from the film Shamsheer-1953.

Just 6 years after India’s independence, the Hindi film industry was working normally. Young and enthusiastic directors were trying out their hands at a variety of films. The country was stabilised and it looked with wide eyes at the changes in the world. Italian Neorealism was becoming popular among filmmakers all over the world. There was enough material in India which needed films depicting Neo-Realism, so that the social ills could be rectified.

I have mentioned it several times that after posting the century post in the blog, I heave a huge sigh of relief and start relaxing, secure in the knowledge that the next century post was far far away. But the next century post occasion arrives way earlier (it seems to me) than expected. It demonstrates that posting 100 articles is not such a daunting task if one just avoids DOT days and posts one or two articles in a day.
