Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 26
———————————————————

Historical events and dramas have been one of the favourite genres of Hindi film makers ever since talkies came into being in 1931. There have been Hindi films made in the 1930s that were based on historical events. Films like ‘Noor Jahan’ (1931), ‘Veer Kunal’ (1932), ‘Prithviraj Samyukta’ (1933), ‘Chandragupta’ (1934), ‘Sultana Chand Bibi’ (1936) and some more were made during this period. I am not aware whether these films were successful at the box office or not. However, I am aware that ‘Pukar’ (1939) and ‘Sikandar’ (1941) were box office hit films belonging to the genre of historical events. I guess that the success of these two films set the tone to produce more films of this genre in the 1940s like ‘Taj Mahal’ (1941), ‘Prithvi Vallabh’(1943), ‘Shahenshah Akbar’ (1943), ‘Mumtaz Mahal’ (1944), ‘Veer Kunal’ (1945) ‘Humayun’ (1945) , Shahjehan’(1946), ‘Padmini’ (1948) and many more.

Mohammed Rafi – ‘अ’  से  ‘ह’ तक  (From ‘अ’ to ‘ह’) – 17
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

‘झ’
“झुका झुका के नज़र यूं उठाई जाती है”

jab bhi ye dil udaas hota hai
jaane kaun aas paas hota hai

These lines tickle the strands of the mind often, when in the moods of a tranquil nothingness – sometimes in the moments just as the self is drifting into sleep, or sometimes, on a journey in a relaxed coziness with nothing particular to do, or sometimes on lonely walks in the evenings. And the mind wonders, trying to put a face to a distant thought – “jaane kaun aas paas . . . hai”. That face is almost never distinct. Whose presence it is that I feel – the mind is yet to discern, and ascribe substance to the tenuous wisps that almost form the image, but then always fails to bring into a distinct focus. And the mind wanders, continues to seek – an unfinished image, trying to capture an elusive face, and a name that keeps bumping tantalizingly close to the edges of memory, yet always remains just a breath away from my grasp.

Mohammed Rafi : The Incomparable (II) – Song No. 02
———————————————————————-

wo dil jo maine maangaa thaa magar gairon ne paayaa thaa
badi shai hai agar, uski pashemaani mujhe de do

Yesterday I visited the page again on the song ‘Tum Apna Ranj o Gham, Apni Pareshaani Mujhe De Do‘. I know the words are ‘badi shai hai agar‘, on which there is the long thread of comments. ‘Shai’, in common urdu is a thing or an object.  ‘badi shai hai ‘ literally means , its a big thing or a big deal.  As it is said in English that ‘its a big deal for me’ or means a lot to me.

Today’s song is unique. It is from the film Laadlaa-54.

One would like to know what is so unique about this song. The answer is that this is the only song in Hindi film music history which is sung by the combination of these four great singers. They are Mohd. Rafi, Talat Mehmood, Shamshad Begum and Asha Bhonsle. As far as I know, It was for the first and last time that these four singers came together to sing a song. Mohd. Rafi features in few songs combining four singers, but not these our four singers. I am amazed how composer Vinod thought of this combination in the first place !

I came to know just now that today (18 february 2016) is the birth anniversary of Nimmi (DoB 18 february 1933). I was not sure that I would be able to find a Nimmi song that was not yet posted. Prima facie, most Nimmi songs were composed by Naushad, Shankar Jaikishan, S D Burman, Ghulam Mohammad, Madan Mohan etc and most movies of these music directors are already YIPPEED in the blog.
