Today’s song is from the film Sanskar-1958.

There were 3 films made with the same title, in 1940, 1952 and 1958. This film was made by Filmistan. It was directed by Chaturbhuj Doshi. This was ,incidentally, his last film as a Hindi film director.

During the early era of talkie films, till the 1960s, there was a horde of Gujarati directors and producers. Bhatts, Trivedi, Thakur, Shahs, Desais, Pancholi, Doshi, Daves were some names frequently found directing various genres. Usually they specialised in certain classes and types of films. The Bhatts (Shankar and Vijay) liked to do Mythological films, Ramnik Shah handled stunt, action, fantasy films, Jayant Desai was social film oriented etc.

Today’s song is from a so called “social” film made by Filmistan. The story of this film clearly indicates that it was a “Costume” film about the usual King, Queen and a wicked Vazir. I am surprised how they could do such a blunder. Surely, the posters would have given away the real Genre of the film and no one would have accepted this film as a Social film, as claimed by Filmistan. Maybe it was an error by HFGK itself.

Manoj Kumar (24.07.1937 – 04.04.2025) is synonymous with Bharat Kumar, yes! but he was much more. He was involved in multiple branches of film making – acting, production, direction, editing, writing (story, dialogues, lyrics). He has given many memorable films in various capacities. And very rightly he was honored with awards, and accolades time to time in his life journey. He was conferred with the highest award for films i.e. the ‘Dadasaheb Phalke Award’ in in ‘2015’. Earlier he had won the National Award for his movie Úpkaar’ in 1967, which was awarded as the second-best feature film of that year. He won the Filmfare awards in different categories viz as Best Actor for the film ‘Be-imaan-1972’, Best Director Award for the movies “Upkaar-1967″’and ‘Roti Kapadaa Aur Makaan-1974’, Producer award (with others) for “Upkaar-1967” and the award for Best Story and Dialogues for “Upkaar-1967”. He won the award for Best Editing for the movie ‘Shor’ and finally the Filmfare ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ for films in ‘1999’. No other film personality has won four awards for a single movie. What is more interesting is that he was also nominated for the ‘Best Actor’ award for the same movie i.e. “Upkaar-1967”.

Today’s song is from a controversial film, released at the end of the 1940’s decade – Hanste Aansoo-1950.

First of all the title itself seems to contain contrasting emotions. One smiles when he is happy and one has tears when he is hurt or sad. I feel we get tears when we are sad or hurt of course, but even when a person is too happy he gets tears in his eyes. For example, when a child is away for many years, the mother feels sad and weeps in his memory. But when he comes back after many years and hugs his mother, she gets tears at that time also, with happiness !

Continuing my series of Kamsune/Ansune of Asha Bhosle, I present to you the 5th song of this series which is a thirakta machalta geet of Asha Ji from the 1968 movie Jung Aur Aman.

The song is ”Nigahon Mein Mohabbat Ka” penned by Hasrat Jaipuri and composed by the extremely talented but unsuccessful G S Kohli, the assistant to master composer OP Nayyar for a long time. And therefore, many a times when you hear a song composed by Kohli, you get a feeling that you have heard a similar sounding song. That possibly is a song composed by his Guru.
