#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
—————————————————————
“Woh Zamana-1947” was directed by Manibhai Vyas for ‘Ranjeet Movietone, Bombay’. It was a ‘Historical movie’. It had Khursheed (Junior), Lalita Pawar, Altaf, Padma Bannerjee, Subhadara Devi, Shaikh Hasan, S.N. Tripathi, Pt Iqbal, Joshi, Ram Swaroop, Nafeez Khalili, Kabuli, Iqbal Hussain, Ibrahim, Bhupatram Oza and others.
‘Woh Zamana’ has ten songs. Nine songs are written by Pandit Indra and one song is credited to lyricist Sharma jee. Music for this movie is composed by Bulo C Rani. Geet Kosh-Vol-II-1941-1950 mentions the name of singers for only six songs. The singers are Mohantara, Rati Kumar Vyas, and Zohrabai Ambalewali.
So far, four songs from this movie ‘Woh Zamana’ have been covered on the blog. While presenting the song ‘Hey ae Mulak Kathiawad’ from this movie, our in-house encyclopaedia Shree Arunkumar jee has given some background of this movie, which are interesting and I am reproducing them below:-
I have not seen film “Woh Zamana”, but I know that this film was based on the stories of bravery of a king of Kathiawad and how he saved his kingdom from the invaders from the Middle East. Kathiawad was the main part of Saurashtra, which comprised the districts of Junagadh, Amreli, Bhavnagar, Botad, Jamnagar, Rajkot, Morbi, Surendra nagar, Somnath and Dwaraka. After India’s Independence, the Nawab of Junagadh wanted to merge with Pakistan, but his subjects revolted and Sardar Patel merged Junagadh into India. The Nawab migrated to Pakistan with his entourage.
Film “Woh Zamana” was made by Ranjit Movietone. The owner of Ranjit – Sardar Chandulal Shah was from Kathiawad and so had a special interest in this film. Chandulal was keen that the then well-known actor singer of Kathiawad, Rati kumar Vyas should act and sing in this film. Rati Kumar declined acting in Hindi, but sang 1 duet (with Mohantara) and 1 solo song in this film. This was his only Hindi film. His duet song is already discussed on the Blog. The lyricist was Pt. Indra and MD was Bulo C Rani, who had joined Ranjit after his Guru Khemchand left it.
Today, I am presenting the fifth song from this movie which is in the voice of Zohrabai Ambalewali. Lyrics are by Pt Indra and music is composed by Bulo C Rani.
Let us listen to this song now.
