Today’s song is from a film which is almost 90 year old – Jaagirdar-1937. It was made by Sagar Movietone, Bombay.
The talkie films started in 1931 and there was a great activity in the film industry. Major filmmakers from the Silent era were cautious about the future of the Talkie Films, but some people with a vision jumped into making Talkie films. At the same time some more adventurous people entered filmmaking and new studios and companies came up.
The first decade, i.e. from 1931 to 1940 was full of experiments. At a time many Genres were tried. Many experiments were undertaken. The industry was still under the influence of a silent era mentality, so those who could not cope up with the new approach soon eclipsed-like Madon Theatres. Intelligent directors understood that the Talkie films have to be made with a different approach- like V.Shantaram and Sohrab Modi, for example. They not only became famous but also lasted for longer periods.

Before coming to the song, I would like to talk about the film itself. I remember going to see it at Chandragupt Talkies, one of the then popular single screen cinemas of Indore with my brother and enjoying this movie. That cinema is long gone like many other single screens but I still remember the josh of going to that huge cinema hall. Indore which came in the MP circle used to have this unique thing that the cinemas would get displayed on Thursdays (most other circles actually screened the movie the next day on the Friday). There would be huge queues to do advance bookings in those cinemas. Sometimes, we would have to request passing by girls and ladies to stand in the ladies queue to get tickets fast!

Today’s song is from a Costume imaginary film Gul Bakawali-1947.
The year 1947 is a reminder not only for the Independence of India, but also for the upheaval that took place in the film industry that time. More than in any other industry in India, Muslims were plentiful, working in different sections and departments of the Hindi film industry. Majority of them migrated to the newly formed Muslim Nation of Pakistan. This did create a lot of disturbance in the film industry. Right from the beginning of 1947, there were signs that soon the British would leave India – after dividing it into two Nations, India and Pakistan. When the month and date became known for the Partition, there was a great hurry among the filmmakers to complete their projects on hand and in process, compromising many factors like quality of the film, number of songs and such other things.

‘Taqdeer Ki Tope’ (1939) was produced and directed by Vithaldas Panchotia under the banner of Shri Bharat Lakshmi Pictures. The cast included Master Nissar, Husn Bano, Vithaldas Panchotia, Jyotsana Gupta, Sultana Banu, Fakir Mohammed, Abdul Kabuli, Narbada Shankar, Master Gama, Shanti Devi, Aruna Devi etc. I have no idea about the genre of the film. I came across the name of the film while listening, for the first time, the audio clip of a song rendered by Master Nisaar. I found the song interesting because it is rendered by Master Nissar in the Hindustani semi-classical style. Before I listened to the song, I was under the impression that Master Nissar was an actor first and had to sing for himself as during his time, the playback singing system was yet to be evolved. But his voice sounded like a trained singer.
