Khwaja Ahmad Abbas had produced “Shahar Aur Sapna”(1963) on the problem of migrants leaving their villages and move to Bombay and face housing and other problem there. This movie earned Khwaja Ahmad Abbas best film National Award. While Pt Nehru, the Prime Minister of India was presenting the award to Khwaja Ahmad Abbas , he requsted him to make a movie on the same theme for children. That is how the movie “Hamara Ghar”(1964) got made.
Produced and directed by Khwaja Ahmed Abbas for Naya Sansaar, Bombay, “Hamaara Ghar”(1964) had lots of child artists in it (13 to be precise), viz. Sonal Mehta, Yasmeen, Rekha Rao, Tanya Siraaj, Pasha Azeem, Deepak Prasad, Sunil Kaushik, Noel Moses, Jai Prakash Narula, Maruti, Narayan Devanpalli, Levi Aaron and Ghanshyam Rohera. In addition there were grown up artists viz Nana Palsikar, Surekha, Dilip Raj, Anwar Abbas, Meena Abbas,Yunus Parvez etc as well.
The above information is taken from this information filled post by Sudhir Jee where he introduced this movie to the blog.
“Hamaara Ghar”(1964) had six songs in it. Three songs have been covered in the blog.
Here is the fourth song from the movie to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Vijaya Majumdar. Sardar Jafri is the lyricist. Music is composed by J P Kaushik.
Only audio of the song is available. Listening to the song, it is clear that it is picturised as a boot polish song on a child artist. Nowadays a child earning by shining shoes would be considered child labour and therefore prohibited, but during those days, it was considered to be the fashionable and accepted thing for children in Hindi movies. It is clear that the song is picturised on a child artist, but we cannot identify the actor as the prints of this movie are apparently not available.
I have not been able to get a few words correctly in the lyrics. I request our readers with keener ears to help fill in the blanks/suggest corrections.
I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
Song-Aao baabu dhotee waalon (Hamaara Ghar)(1964) Singer-Vijaya Majumdar, Lyricist-Sardar Jafri, MD-J P Kaushik
