Today’s song is from the 1950 movie “Baseraa”. It was directed by Inayat for ‘Watan Pictures, Bombay’. This was a ‘social’ genre of movie as mentioned in Geet Kosh Vol-II (1941-1950).
Geet Kosh mentions Ramola, Heeralal, Veena Kumari, Roopmala, Chanda and Bhudo Advani as the cast of this movie. Six songs are mentioned in Geet Kosh leaving blanks after that indicating that there might be more songs in this movie whose details are not known. All the six songs for ‘Baseraa-1950’ are penned by Sardar Ilham and music is composed by M. A. Rauf. The singers of this movie include Sulochana Kadam, Mubarak Begam, and B.S. Nanji.

Today’s song is from a family drama social film- Ghar ki Laaj-1941.
The film was produced and directed by V.M.Vyas, for his own banner- Sunshine Pictures, Bombay.The music was by an old-timer, Annasaheb Mainkar, but I find that in this film, he tried to adapt to the changing styles of the film music of the times !. The cast of the film was Shanta Hublikar, Nazir Ahmed, Jagdish Sethi ( in the credits, his B.A. is written prominently), Kalyani, Kaushalya, Majid, Daya devi (mother of actress Kaushalya, in real life), Hadi etc.

“Veeraanganaa-1947” was directed by Nandlal Jaswantlal for Laxmi Productions, Bombay. This was a movie from the genre of “historical” movies. The cast of this movie included Shobhana Samarth, Prem Adib, Jeewan, Prabha, Badri Prasad, Sankata Prasad, Shanta Patel, Kanta and others. This movie has eight songs as per Geet Kosh-Vol-II (1941-1950). Kavi Pradeep wrote the lyrics for the songs in this movie under the name of Miss Kamal. The singers’ names for all the individual songs are not mentioned against the songs of this movie. Hari Prasanna Das and Manna Dey were the two music directors for this movie. In Geet Kosh four songs are attributed to composer Hari Prasanna Das, so we can guess that the other songs are composed by Manna Dey.

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Dashehraa-1956’. This is a rare song which has been made available more than a year back on internet. Regulars on this blog would have noted that there were many songs that were considered as ‘not traceable’ or were hitherto unavailable on internet are coming up gradually in recent years or more precisely in last couple of years. During the ‘regulars meet at Mumbai’ in 2023 I had made this observation during discussions about such ‘untraceable’ songs. On this blog our senior Shree Sudhir jee had taken up a series for the ‘missing films’ of the decade of ‘sixties’ earlier. At that time only one song from such movies (around hundred in numbers) was dug up and posted. I have noted that for all such movies now their other songs have also come up and posted either by music companies or passionate music lovers. This is ultimately going to increase the number of songs available with us and in turn reducing the number of songs that were considered as lost or un-traceable.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

(Songs from Un-released/Un-Titled movies)
Yesterday 13th May 2025 was the seventy-nineth birthday of Shree Bishwanath Chatterjee compiler of Hindi Film Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980).
This post is delayed on my part as I could not finish it yesterday. Earlier I had planned to visit to Nagpur for this special occasion, but it could not happen. I had spoken to our common friend Mr Avinash Shravane at Nagpur, and we thought that few likeminded friends would also attend this function. But it did not materialize. However, few friends did arrange some program as informed to me by Mr Chatterjee himself, when I called him to wish him on his birthday yesterday. (I am yet to get the updates about the function held yesterday, so that may be covered later 😊).
