Today’s song is a marching song from the film ‘Veer Babruwahan’ (1950).

Now, the name ‘Babruwahan’ is a strange name and I am sure most readers have never heard it, at least those who are below 60 years of age. I heard his story for the first time from my grandfather when I was about 8 years old. Being an odd name and sounding even funny, it remained in my memory. Later I found his story in the 14th parvaThe Ashwamedha Parva of Mahabharat in the subparva 91-92.

When I saw this film, I was actually surprised how the filmmakers even chose this story, which was not a very well known one from Mahabharat. But then, 1950 was a period when the entire country and the film industry was in a turmoil and both were trying hard to set the things in an order, with whatever efforts were needed.

After the unexpected and suddenly shocking demise of KL Saigal Sb in the beginning of 1947, India getting its Independence in August 1947 and then the ruling government trying to cope up with the huge migration of population on both sides of the newly created borders, the period from 1947 to 1950 was a testing time, both for the country and the film industry. Finally the Indian Dominion became the Republic of India on 26-1-1950 and the British finally repealed their article 395 to declare India to be a fully independent Democratic Republic.

The year 1950 also began an attempt by the film industry to make and present films on traditional value building, stories from our glorious history, importance of joint family and building Patriotism, Socialism and the stress on Indian folk music and dances, like in films ‘Mother India’ and ‘Naya Daur’ (both 1957) etc. Ace producers and Nehru fans like Bimal Roy, Raj Kapoor, Mehboob etc. also tried to push the Nehruvian philosophy of Socialism through their films. This period also saw stress on presenting our Mythology and Religious stories through films. To make films more interesting, melody and musical entertainments were made in bulk. As the decade of 1950-1960 was ending, the impact of western world in lifestyles and music (like Rock N Roll, Cha Cha Cha, Hawaian and Spanish tunes etc) became pronounced and the next decade i.e. 1960-1970 was full of such films. But that is another story…..

It was not just the impact of the western music but also the flow of films from Hollywood like ‘Ben Hur’, ‘My Fair Lady’, ‘Sound of Music’, ‘Ten Commandments’, ‘Quo Vadis’, ‘Samson and Delialah’, ‘Seven Samurai’ etc. became very popular in India. These films taught the Indian film makers that even smaller films (in terms of duration) can be popular if the content is solid and handled properly. Hitchcock films inspired films like ‘Apradhi Kaun’ (1957) etc. The end part of the 1950 was a mixture of films, as if the industry was in a fix as to which way it should go in the 1960’s decade !

Some of the interesting films in the year 1950 were….

  • ‘DAHEJ’ – V Shantaram’s film depicted the sad plight and the defeat of a girl’s father to refuse giving dowry in his daughter’s marriage. This effective film paved the way to the enactment of the ‘ Prevention of Dowry’ act in later years.
  • JOGAN – a love and hate story of an atheist and temple Nun. Excellent songs.
  • BAWRE NAIN – a tragic love story is remembered as the first hit film of composer Roshan. Superb songs.
  • SAMADHI – the conflict of two brothers, patriotism and hit songs.
  • SARGAM – a musical story of 7 sisters. Memorable songs by C Ramchandra.
  • MASHAAL, SANGRAM and MUQADDAR – all good films, but could not stop the eclipse of the giant Bombay Talkies.
  • HAR HAR MAHADEV – An unexpected hit indicated the oncoming years of Mythology and Religious films till 1960, in a record number – 124 films in 10 years.
  • AFSAR – the first film of Navketan banner. Based on Gogol’s The inspector General could not do justice to the original, in spite of good songs.

Other good films were

  •  BABUL – a tragedy love story of Dilip and Nargis
  • SHEESH MAHAL – a depiction of the collapse of the old social systems.
  • ARZOO – had excellent songs by Anil Biswas.
  • PEHLA ADMI – Bimal Roy’s film had a backdrop of the Indian National Army of Subhash Bose.
  • DASTAAN was yet another tragedy film.
  • AANKHEN was composer Madan Mohan’s first film.

‘Veer Babruwahan’ was made by Homi Wadia’s Basant Pictures. It was directed by Nanabhai Bhatt (aka Batuk Bhai) who had earlier directed the film ‘Muqabala’ (1942), husband of a small-time actress Shirin and father of Mahesh Bhatt. Music was by the king of melody – Chitragupt, MA. The film’s cast consisted of Shashi Kapoor Sr., Mrudula, Urmila, Amarnath, Baby Madhuri, SN Tripathi, Umakant and many others.

Baby Madhuri – her real name was Maahe Laqa (meaning moon faced). She was the daughter of Master Ali Baksh, MD and Iqbal Begum, a cine artiste. In other words Baby Madhuri was the youngest sister of actress Meena Kumari and her sister actress Khurshid Jr. Born in a family of film people, Baby Madhuri was good at acting and singing. She was picked up by Director Nazir of Hind Pictures who took her for his film ‘Sandesha’ (1940). He is the same Nazir, whose first wife was Sitara Devi. He was the maternal uncle i.e. maama of K Asif (of ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ fame) . He later divorced Sitara devi (actually, she had eloped with K Asif ) and married actress Swarnalata and both migrated to Pakistan. Nazir’s studio was burnt during the communal riots in Bombay. Author Manto has detailed all this in his book.

In Wadia’s film ‘Vishwas’ (1943), the talents of Baby Madhuri in acting and singing flowered and she was appreciated much. Then she acted and sang some songs in films like ‘Anjaan’, ‘Jungle Princess’, ‘Muqabala’, ‘Ekta’ (Sindhi), ‘Andhera’, ‘Mahatma Vidur’, ‘Paraya Dhan’, ‘Bachpan’, ‘Nai Maa’ etc.

She was also called Madhu. She later married actor Mehmood. She was very fond of new fashions and western clothes. Due to this, she became a kleptomaniac and was caught many times stealing things and shoplifting. She knew riding, cycling and swimming too. She spoke good English, though not much educated.

After Mehmood divorced her, she got married to barrister Kishore Sharma, an associate of Nani Palkhivala.
[Thanks to shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji for info on Baby Madhuri].

The story of the film ‘Veer Babruvahan’, is as follows,

Babruvahan was the son of Arjun and Chitrangada, the princess of Manipur. He did not participate in the Mahabharat war from the side of Pandavas and remained in Manipur because he was the heir to the throne of Manipur after his maternal grandfather as he was adopted as his son by his maternal grandfather.

During the Ashwamedh Yagna, Babruvahan caught the horse and had a fight with Arjun. In the fight, he was able to kill Arjun as Arjun was cursed by Devi Ganga, mother of Bhishma, to die at the hands of his son. Thereafter, Ulupi, the other wife of Arjun, who knew about this curse, revived Arjun to life with the help of a special gem from the Naaglok.

Today’s song is a song to inspire the army of Babruwahan, who is proceeding to fight and kill Arjun – without knowing that Arjun was his father. This is the 6th song of this film and is a sweet song. Enjoy the song video….

Today’s song is from the film Room No. 9 (1946).

There were 2 more rooms on which films were made – Room No. 17 and Room No.203. I wonder what happened to the other rooms ? I am also hurt by the title of a film as ” B-13 -Fear has a New Address” made in 2009. My flat number in Mumbai is B-13 and I never ever saw any Atulite frightened in my flat when so many ASAD meetings were held here ! And also when some members had stayed here overnight also ! However, I did not file any case against the film’s producer, lest it became ‘ an address to fear ‘ for him !

Certain years in Film industry are quite significant for its changing phases. One of these years was 1946. By 1946 to 1950 old towers shook hard to crumble. The studio system almost disappeared. Film industry could now boast of people highly educated, talented and hard working. Even artistes with International experience and success like Dewan Sharar, Shakuntala Paranjpye, actor Ranjan, Balraj Sahni etc contributed to Indian films. The old horse of Calcutta-New Theatres broke down and actors, directors and Music specialists from Bengal made a Bee-Line to Bombay, thus making it the strongest ever film centre.

1946 was also an year of consolidation, in a sense that due to the iminent Partition of India on the basis of Religion, agreed upon by Gandhi-Nehru combine, made Muslim artistes and filmmakers plan to pack their bags and move over to the new Utopia across the border. Their vacancies were to be filled up by the waiting second line of actors, directors and MDs. The film industry was to have a complete new look within 1-2 years and the beginning was from 1946. Thus the year was very important.

The year 1946 was an year which saw many changes in the film industry. The IInd world war had just ended. Rationing and control on many items had created Black marketing. This made many people Millionaires. The extra income started getting invested in Film making. The increased cost of Raw Films made filmmaking 7 to 8 times costlier. A film which was made in about 1 Lakh rupees in 1940, needed 8 Lakhs now. Studio system was waning and artiste rates increased in Lakhs instead of thousands.

In 1945, only 74 films were made. This number increased to 153 films in 1946. Further, in 1947, the film industry produced a record number of films – 181, but of course that was due to Partition. The quality of films was sacrificed at the cost of the quantity of films made in 1946. However, some quality films were made in 1946, indicating the changing face of filmmaking.

Film Dharati ke Lal-46 was made by IPTA people and it became the first film to be exhibited in Russia. Neecha Nagar-46 won the Grand Prix award in the French Film Festival. Film Dr. Kotnis ki amar kahani-46 was dubbed in English as ‘ The journey of Dr. Kotnis’. It was shown in the USA and then in the Venice Film Festival. Two musical films- Anmol Ghadi and Shahjahan were made in 1946.

Year 1946 also saw the Debut of several stars and artistes. In fact one can call 1946 as the ” Debut year” of the Hindi film industry. See this….

Nirupa Roy debuted in film Amar Raaj-46

Nasreen (real name Zareena), daughter of Rafiq Gaznavi and Anwari bai had debuted in her first released film ” Shahjahan-1946.

Geeta Bali debuted with a dance in film Badnami-46

Geeta Roy sang her first film song in film Bhakta Prahlad-46

Balraj Sahni debuted in the film Insaaf-46. It was a small role,though.

K A Abbas-Director, Pt.Ravi Shankar-MD, Balraj Sahni as Hero and Damayanti Sahni as Heroine made their Debut in film Dharti Ke Lal-46.

Meena Kapoor sang her first released Hindi film song in the film Eight Days-46. She also recorded her first Hindi film song in the film ‘Door Chalen’-1946, which was released later than film Eight Days-46.

Sudhir Phadke debuted as MD in film Gokul-46

P L Santoshi as Director, Dev Anand, Rehman, Rehana and Kamla Kotnis debuted as actors in film Hum Ek Hai-46.

Chitragupta did his first film as MD in Lady Robin Hood-46.

Ram Ganguly became MD with film Maharana Pratap-46.

Abhi Bhattacharya debuted in Hindi film Milan-46.

Chetan Anand as Director, Uma Anand and Kamini kaushal as actresses debuted in film Neecha Nagar-46.

Hansraj Behl debuted as MD with film Pujari-46.

Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote his first Hindi film song in film Shahjahan-46

S D Burman as MD and Kishore Kumar as an actor debuted with film Shikari-46

So, you will find the year 1946 was truly an year of change. The winds of Partition were already blowing and the second line of supplementary artistes was ready to replace the Migrators, after the Partition.

Film Room No.9 was produced by S.R.Rajguru and directed by Vedi. The banner was Navyug Chitrapat, Bombay. The music was by R.A.Atre. By a strange coincidence the owner of the banner Navyug was P.K.Atre -a writer, dramatist, novelist, poet, director, a Newspaper owner and a big Politician in his later years !

For information on films made during the period 1937 to 1949, an authentic source is the archived issues of the magazine FILM INDIA, online.One can get information on films of this period through the films’ advertisements and reviews in these issues. Though the editor Baburao Patel rarely ever praised any film, direction, music or acting, still the factual information like release date and theatre, cast in details,other credits and the story of the film etc. is available here. Information about this film is given in the august 1946 issue of Film India. The film was released on 15-6-1946, at Krishna Theatre in Bombay.The review is full of pointwise criticism of the film.

Here is its story, adapted and given by Sadanand Kamath ji a few years back…..

Geeta (Geeta Nizami) is an heiress to a huge fortune left by her father. With this, Geeta’s life is at risk as her uncle is eyeing on her fortunes. For the attainment of his objective, he employs Pratap (K N Singh) a crook to do the needful.

For completing the formalities of handing over the fortunes to Geeta, Barrister Premchand (Raj Bishwas), the executor of the will, comes to the city and stays in a hotel where his son, Shyam (Shyam) escorts Geeta to the hotel room. However, Geeta suspects Shyam to be a crook without knowing that he is the son of Barrister Premchand. Instead, she relies on Pratap, the crook who kidnaps her. However, Shyam rescues her.
Thakur Ajit Singh (Randhir) who is a regular guest in the hotel gets attracted towards Geeta though he already has Rani (Saroj Borkar) as his mistress who is a disgraced wife of Barrister Premchand and the mother of Shyam. Neither Rani nor Shyam is aware that they are mother and son.

In Geeta’s room, Thakur Ajit Singh tries to molest her and, in this milieu, Thakur is shot dead. Thinking that Geeta must have shot him, Shyam takes the crime on himself and runs away from the police. However, he is arrested and put on trial for the murder of Thakur Ajit Singh. Based on the evidence given by Rani, Shyam is sentenced to death by hanging.
Barrister Premchand appeals to the high court for the review of the lower court’s verdict. In the court, he produces the childhood photograph of Shyam with his mother Rani. The mother in Rani makes her confess that she had shot dead Thakur Ajit Singh in that fateful night. Shyam is acquitted and there is a happy end to the film.

The Music Director Rasheed Atre was not a very famous or successful composer while in India. After his migration to pakistan, post its formation, he became quite successful. It is a matter of surprise that barring a few well known MDs, like Ghulam Haider, K.K.Anwar, and Kamal Dasgupta, all other MDs like Firoz Nizami, Rasheed Atre, G.A.Chishti, Nissar Bazmi, Naashad and Tufail Faruqi etc who were only B or C grade Mds in India, became big names after migrating to Pakistan. Naturally so, because the Pakistani film industry was taking a shape and growing big in the initial years and these ready-made composers got many films, name and fame. However, history indicates that there was no second line of MDs in the making and after these migrated MDs retired, the film music scene in Pakistan became weak and pathetic.

Composer RASHEED ABDUL ATRE was born in Amritsar on 15-2- 1919. His father Khushi Mohammed was a well known musician and singer. Rasheed learnt music from Ustad Khan saheb Ashfaq Hussain. Then he went to Calcutta and worked under R.C.Boral. During his stay in Calcutta he is presumed to have composed songs for films “Pardanasheen”-1942 and “Mamta”-1942, under the name R.A.Atra. After coming back to Bombay he joined Jhande Khan and Gobindram in composing songs for “Pagli”-43. He was assistant to composer Amir ali in “Panna”-44. With Pt.Amarnath,he composed songs for “Shirin Farhad”-45. Then came Room No.9-46,Nateeja-47,Paro-47 and Shikayat-48. From 43 to 48 he gave music to 6(confirmed) films. Not much, but then he did not get much time either.

Nateeja was a Muslim social made by Bombay Talkies and he was specially called for it. Nateeja music was his best in India and all its songs became very popular. for Room No 9-46,he worked in Navyug Chitrapat co. where one of the owners was P K Atre, a noted Marathi writer and Dramatist. P K Atre was ,of course, a Hindu,but it was a coincidence.

After Partition Atre went to Pakistan. He first served Radio Pakistan, Rawalpindi and then at Lahore. He prospered in Pakistan and gave music in 54 Urdu and Punjabi films. He was awarded the coveted Nigar Award 3 times in a row. The famous Marching song of Pakistan ” Allah o Akbar ” was composed by Rasheed Atre. The first Pakistani film for which Rasheed Attre lent his music was director Masood Pervez’s Beli (1950).

Three years after Beli, Rasheed was in-charge of music for director Nazir Ahmed Khan’s Punjabi film, Shehri Babu (1953), whose evergreen songs still are popular in Pakistan . Attre’s music for director W.Z. Ahmed’s 1954 family-friendly film Roohi (1954) was a huge success.

Rasheed Attre’s music is all very praise-worthy in director Nazir Ahmed Khan’s film Khatoon, which was popular for its thumri. Attre’s composition exhibits an astonishing range and power in director Anwar Kamal Pasha’s superhit film Sarfarosh (1956). In 1956, Rasheed was also given the responsibility of composing songs for director Anwar Kamal Pasha’s golden jubilee punjabi film Chann Mahi (1956) (lyrics: Tufail Hoshiarpuri, starring: Bahar, Aslam Pervaiz). Attre was, indeed, a powerhouse of a musician and a case in point is director W.Z. Ahmed’s all-time favorite film, Waada (1957), which happened to be a movie from a more idealistic time. At the height of his fame, Attre came up with his magical composition for film director Anwar Kamal Pasha’s semi- historical movie, Anarkali (1958). To be precise, it was a joint venture of 2 film music composers Rasheed Attre and Master Inayat Hussain.

Rasheed Attre passed away on December 18, 1967, at the age of 48.

Today’s song is sung by a chorus-a comedy song- and some unidentified male and female voices also can be heard in it. Enjoy…..

“Janmaashtmi”(1950) was a pauraanik movie which was directed by Nanabhai Bhatt for Hindustan Chitra, Bombay. The movie had Nirmala, Shobhana Samarth, Bharat Bhushan,Jeewan, Rajkumar Khatri, Samson,Ramesh Sinha, Amirbai Karnataki,Kanta KUmari,Ramesh arora, Gadadhar Sharma, Charubala etc in it.

The movie had nine songs in it. One song has been covered in the past.

Out of nine songs, singers of two songs are not mentioned in HFGK. There is one duet song and other six songs are solo songs.

Here is the second song from “Janmaashtmi”(1950) to appear in the blog. This song is a duet song. It sung by Amirbai Karnataki, Rafi and chorus. Bharat Vyas is the lyricist. Music is composed by Shyam Babu Pathak.

Only audio of the song is available. Amirbai Karnataki acted in this movie and she sang two songs, including this one, so it can be assumed that she sang for herself. We are not sure who lip synced in Rafi’s voice. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

“Bansari”(1943), a “social” movie, was directed by Jayant Desai for Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. This by now forgotten movie had Ishwarlal, Charlie, Shamim, Dixit, Urmila, Bhagwan Das, Keshri etc in it.

According to HFGK, this movie had nine songs in it. Name of singer(s) are known for seven songs. There were two lyricists in the movie, viz D N Madhok and Pt Indra Chandra. Lyricist is known only for two songs.

The songs of this movie are extremely rare songs. One song has been covered so far.

Here is the second song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Ameerbai Karnataki. Lyricist is not known. Music is composed by Gyan Dutt.

Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of the song.

I have not been able to note down the lyrics of the song to my satisfaction. I feel that the song should have the words “aahon” and “aahen”, but sometimes I hear “aankhon” and “aankhen” instead. I request our readers with keener ears to help provide the correct words in the lyrics wherever applicable.


Song-Ham tum se maangte hain (Bansari)(1943) Singer-Ameerbai Karnataki, Lyrics-D N Madhok/Pt Indra Chandra, MD-Gyan Dutt

Today’s song is from a special film – Gunsundari-1948.

I call this film a ‘Special’ film because this is one film in which the simple story was so original, interesting and so much a representative of the changing times in the country that this story inspired films in almost every language in India from the late 1920’s decade till even today (albeit in modern avatar !).

Chandulal Shah (later owner of Ranjit Studios), had first directed this silent movie GUNSUNDARI, in 1927, on his own story, under the banner of Kohinoor film company,Bombay. Even in those days it was a popular film.

After Talkie films started and Chandulal Shah had established his own studio-in partnership with Gauharjan Mamajiwala, a Heroine of several of his films and his consort for the next 40 years, he remade the film GUNSUNDARI once again in 1934. The cast of the 1934 film was the same as the 1927 silent film, namely Gauhar, Raja Sandow, Rampyari, R N Vaidya etc. Somehow Chandulal Shah had been fascinated by the film’s story.

After Ranjit studio and Sardar Chandulal Shah were in financial crisis (having lost 1 cr 25 lakhs in cotton trading, in one single day) and most of their properties were mortgaged, Producer Director Ratibhai Hemchander Punatar-who was Chandulal’s sister’s son and his chela, decided to make film Gunsundari once again. This time the film was made in Gujarati and Hindi simultaneously. The year was 1947. Due to partition etc the film was delayed and was released only in 1948.

Ratibhai had selected Kokila Balsara aka Nirupa Roy as the new heroine. After the shooting started, she was signed by Chandulal Shah for Ranjit’s film ” Lakhon mein Ek”. Since Gunsundari was delayed, “Lakhon mein Ek-1947″ got released first and it became Nirupa Roy’s FIRST Hindi film as a Heroine.

I remember having seen the film GUNSUNDARI-1948 sometime in the early 50s. The story was indeed very interesting for those times. A village simple girl is married to a modern type educated rich boy. He does not like this uneducated ‘gaon ki gori’ and he abandons her. The story is about how the girl gets educated and learns all modern things, yet impresses her in-laws with her traditional ways(unknown to the husband) and how she wins him back successfully. After the interval, the theatre used to vibrate with the clapping of the audience on every success of Gunsundari with her family and the husband.

Later on, as is the practice of Hindi film Industry, this theme was used in umpteen number of Hindi and various regional languages over a time.

This was also the First film of Nirupa Roy and Manhar Desai ( who was originally from a Goan family settled in Ahmedabad and his name was Malcolm Alfredo D’souza-a converted Christian). Later this pair starred in many Hindi and Gujarati films.

The director of this film was Ratibhai Punatar. He directed only 6 Hindi films – Gunsundari-48, Nanad Bhojai-48, Nili-50,Mann ka meet-50, Bahadur-53 and Daughter of Sindbad-58. He also directed 5 Gujarati films-all blockbusters and grossers. The Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema says about him…..Ratilal Hemchand Punatar (b. 1913) Gujarati-Hindi director aka Ratibhai Punatar. Born in Jamnagar, Gujarat. Production manager at Ranjit. Directorial début when, following the spectacular success of Ranakdevi (1946), Ranjit started subsidiary Ajit Pics to exploit the interest in Gujarati films. First major film, Gunsundari, remade Chandulal Shah’s pathbreaking silent film and remains, with Mehndi Rang Lagyo (1960) and Jesal Toral (1971), one of the Gujarati cinema’s biggest hits, the first one to tap a substantial urban audience for a Gujarati cinema until then restricted to semi-urban B film circuits. Third film Mangal Phera was also very successful, and continued the Gunsundari and Nanand Bhojai theme of a crumbling joint-family system faced with the values of a mercantile economy. Also made films based on Prabhulal Dwivedi’s folk theatre (Gadano Bel) and on e.g. D.N. Madhok’s popular novels.

The film was made by Ajit Pictures, Bombay- a subsidiary floated by Ranjit Movietone to exploit Gujarati film business. The cast of the film was Nirupa Roy, Manhar Desai, Dulari, Nazira, Ibrahim and many others. While this was Nirupa Ro’s first Hindi film as a Heroine, for Manhar Desai it was also his just the second film, the first being a C grade stunt film Toofani Sawar-1947, made by his classmate in Wilson College, Bombay N.C.Pandey.

Manhar Desai was a Gujarati Christian-real name Malcolm Alfredo D’souza. He was born on 3-8-1917. He used to stammer when he was a boy. He used to act and sing in dramas and due to his stammering style, he was very popular on stage. After completing High school, he ran away to Bombay to join Films, but could not even enter any studio, Disappointed, he returned to his home and restarted studies. He became normal with treatment. He joined Wilson college in Bombay for graduation. In college he started acting and singing on stage. He had a friend N.C.Pandey, who was also mad after films. He promised Manhar that if he becomes a Director, he will make Manhar a Hero. While in college Manhar married his classmate, who was from U.P.

In 1947, Manhar got a call from his friend N.C.Pandey, who was to direct a Hindi film. He made Manhar the Hero of this film and thus fulfilled his promise. Toofani Sawar-47 was the first film of Manhar Desai, in Hindi. He was invited to work in the film Gunsundari-48 ( Gujarati), opposite Nirupa Roy. The film was Hit and he acted in the next film Mangal Phera-49 with Nirupa Roy. This too became a Hit film in Gujarati and then there was no looking back. His next Hindi film was Madhosh-51 opposite Meena kumari. Following their success in Gujarati, Nirupa Roy and Manhar were paired in several Mythological films in Hindi. Films Naag Panchami-53 and Shivratri-54 made him a popular Hero in Hindi mythological films.

It is a coincidence that the Two film stars well known for Hindi Mythological films, namely Shahu Modak and Manhar Desai, both were Non Hindus and were Jew and Christian respectively.

Manhar Desai was fond of Reading. During breaks in shooting, he would catch up with his reading. He also was a good painter. Manhar worked in 106 Hindi films. His last film was Nal Damyanti-88. In the last phase of his career, he was disillusioned about working in films in this era, so he gave up working and retired. Manhar Desai died on 25-2-1992.

Today’s song is the 7th song from this film to feature here. It is sung by Ameerbai Karnataki and Chorus. Enjoy this melodious song composed by Avinash Vyas..

“Beete Din”(1947) is one of the three BTYC eligible movie today.

“Beete Din”(1947) was directed by Ezra Mir for Aawaaz Film Corporation, Bombay. This movie had Vanmala, Motilal, Sheela, S.Nazir, Miss Rekha, L.Ramesh, Baby Shama, Master Laxman, Solank, BibiBai, Baby Janet etc in it.

This song is the 200th song of Ameerbai Karnataki in the blog as a playback singer.

On this date ten years ago (19 April 2013), eight songs from eight different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
7927 Uthho uthho hey Bharat Bharat Milaap(1942) 3 songs covered out of 11 by now

7934 Baar baar haan bolo yaar haan Lagaan (2001) 4 songs covered out of 7 by now

We observe that two movies (out of eight) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (on 19 april 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. So we have six unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (19 April 2023).

That date ten years ago happened to be Ramnavami. On that occasion, a couple of Lord Ram related songs were covered from Lord Ram related movies. First movie was “Bharat Milaap” (1942) and second movie was “Jai Hanuman”(1948).

“Bharat Milaap” (1942) has already been taken up under BTYC earlier today. That leaves us with “Jai Hanuman”(1948) as the next Lord Ram related movie.

“Jai Hanuman”(1948) was directed by Ramchandra Thakur for Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. This movie had Nirupa Roy, P.Kailash, Keshav Purohit, Babu Raje, S.N.Tripathi, Rajrani,Ramkumar, Chunnilal Nayak, Shyam, Kamlakant, Popat Lal, Sachin Ghosh, Pesi Patel, Vasant Rao, Tara Bai, B.Kumar, Daksha, Chatterjee, Kamlesh Thakkar, Inamdar, Shobha Thakkar etc in it.

This movie had 12 songs in it. Two songs, both Lord Ram related, have been covered in the past.

Here is the third song from the movie. It is sung by Amirbai Karnataki. Pt Indra Chandra is the lyricist. Music is composed by Bulo C Rani.

Only audio of the song is available. From the sounds of it, this song appears to be picturised on Sita and her sahelis. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.

Lyrics of this song and other details were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

That date ten years ago happened to be Ramnavami. On that occasion, a couple of Lord Ram related songs were covered from Lord Ram related movies.

“Bharat Milaap”(1942) was one such movie. This movie y Vijay Bhatt for Prakash Pictures, Bombay. The movie had Durga Khote(as Kaikeyee),Shobhna Samarth(as Sita),Shahu Modak (as Bharat), Prem Adib (as Sri Ram), Vimla Vashisth(as Manthara), Umakant Desai(as Lakshman), Nimbalkar(as Dashrath), Shantabai Kothare(as Kaushalya), Pande(as Vashistha), Ratnamala (as Madavi-Rajkumar Bharat`s Wife), Amirbai Karnataki(as Kewat Patni), Kelkar(as Sumanthra), Vasant Kaanse(as Nishadh Raj), Kaushalya (as Rajkavi`s daughter), Madhusudan(as Rajkavi`s son), Chiman Seth(as Shatrughna), Indumati Pathak(as Shrutikeerthi), Premkumari(as Urmila-Lakshman`s wife), Athavale(as Raj jyothishi),Gadadhar Sharma(Rajkavi), Sukumar(as Kewat), Rammurthy (as Saarathi), Anusuya Bai Jadhav(as Sumitra), Seetharam, Teekaram etc in it.

The song takes place when Lord Ram (Prem adib), along with Sita (Shobhana Samarth)and Laxman (Shahu Modak) have started their vanwas. While proceeding south, they come across River Ganga and they need to cross the mighty river. It is here that they meet the Kevat(boatman) and his wife. This song takes place at that time. The song is lip synced by the Kevat (played by Sukumar) and his wife (played by Amirbai Karnataki). The song is sung by an unidentified male voice and Amirbai Karnataki. I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify the male voice. Is it sung by the male actor himself like how the female character, the one and only Amirbai Karnataki has sung for herself ?

Lyrics are by pt Indra Chandra. Music is composed by Shankar Rao Vyas.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No. 46
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years back viz on 15 March 2013, eight songs from eight different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
7681 Man baat na meri maane Rangeen Kahaani (1947) 2 songs covered out of 9 by now
7682 Mera tan naache mera man naache Badalti Duniya (1943) 2 songs covered out of 11 by now
7683 Us dil ki bhala taskeen ho kya Anand Bhawan (1953) Movie YIPPEED by now
7684 Agar teri duniya mein ye gham rahenge Sheroo(1957) 6 songs covered out of 7 by now
7685 Samjhi thhi ye ghar mera hai Kaajal (1965) Movie YIPPEED by now

7688 Sabse bada naadaan wohi hai Pehchaan(1970) Movie YIPPEED by now

We observe that five movies (out of 8) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (on 15 march 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with three movies that are still unYIPPEED and are therefore eligible for Blog Ten YEar Challenge today.

“Rangeen Kahaani”(1947) is one unYIPPEED movie. This movie was directed by Anjum Hussaini for New Roshan art Productions. The movie had Surekha, S.Irshad, Dulari, Agha Mirza, Sayyed Ahmed, Bibi Jaan, Khursheed Parwez, P.D.Lal, Maqbul, M.K.Hasan, Sarita, Faiyyaz Begum, Mehrunnisa etc in it.

“Rangeen Kahaani”(1947) had nine songs in it. Two songs from the movie have been covered so far.

Here is the third song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Amirbai Karnataki. Wahid Qureshy is the lyricist. Music is composed by Feroz Nizami.

Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.
