Today, November 2nd is the 128th birth anniversary of the producer-director-actor, Sohrab Modi (02/11/1897 – 28/01/1984) who was one of the pioneers of Hindi film industry with sincerity embedded in his works. What all I know about him through the articles and interviews is that the filmmaking was his passion. He developed his own art of dialogue delivery in chaste Urdu, thanks to his childhood spent in Rampur where he did his early schooling. His dialogue delivery became his hallmark in the films.
After completion of his matriculation examination, Sohrab Modi sought guidance from the principal of his school as to what type of career he should persue. The principal said that hearing to the quality of his voice, he should either become a politician or an actor. He chose to be an actor. In this context, Sohrab Modi shared a trivia that when his film. ‘Sheesh Mahal’ (1950) was released at Minerva theatre in Mumbai, he observed that one of the persons seated in the audience had dozed off. He called the theatre manager to take him out and refund his ticket price assuming that he was not keeping well. However, the theatre manager reported back to him that the person was visually impaired and he had come to the theatre only to listen to Sohrab Modi’s dialogues. At that time, Sohrab Modi remembered what his school principal had said about his voice. [Source: Film Division documentary on Sohrab Modi].

Today’s song is from a confusingly titleed film-Anban-1944.
Hindi film titles are sometimes funny and sometimes confusing. Funny, we can understand but confusing titles can cause problems. I can understand the same titles for films. There are hundreds of such examples. Same titled films can be found from 2 to 7 films. Yes. Film title ” Insaaf’ was used for 7 films from 1937 to 1997 – one each in every decade !
When titles are similar but not exactly the same, they can still cause confusion. Here are some examples….. Aajkal and Aaj aur kal, Aarsi and Aarti, Shadi ke baad and Shadi se pehle, Agent 1-2-3, Agent 777 and Agent 999, Lagaan and Lagaam, Daanaa Paanee and Dana Pani etc etc.
Today’s film also falls in this category. There was a film called Aanbaan and this is Anban. For several years I was confused, but when I read in a Film magazine that this is Un-bun (discord or rift in English), my confusion was cleared. (Aanbaan means dignity or pride in English).

Today’s song is from the film Shankar Parvati-1943.
The film was made by Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. This was a rare occasion when Ranjit was making a Mythological movie, but to make use of the dancing skill of the film’s Heroine Sadhana Bose, it decided to make this film, in which there was plenty of scope for her dancing. The film was directed by Chaturbhuj Doshi and the music was by Gyan Dutt. Songs were by Pt. Indra. The cast of the film included Sadhana Bose-as Parvati, Arun Ahuja-as Shankar, Kamala Chaterjee, Rewa Shankar, Narmada Shankar, Mahipal, Sulochana, Shyam and others.

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 !).

|---|---|---|---|
| 7927 | Uthho uthho hey Bharat | Bharat Milaap(1942) | 3 songs covered out of 11 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.
