Blog Day : 3855 Post No. : 14868

Today’s song is a surprise item. Just when we were ( atleast I was) feeling that all available film songs of Noorjehan are covered in the Blog, I came across this song. As a Bonus, even the complete video of this song was traced by me. For a long time, only a short clip of the song was available, but now you can enjoy the full video too.

The song is from film Lal Haveli-44. The film was made by Bombay Cinetone of K.B.Lal, the producer and director of the film. It seems the finance for this film was provided by one Rooplal Mehra, as per comment made by one of our readers. The film story was by R S Chaudhari, dialogues were written by Agha Jaan Kashmiri and Wajahat Mirza and the screenplay was done by the director K B Lal himself.

The cast of the film consisted of the then popular singing pair Surendra and Noorjehan, supported by Ulhas, Maya Banerjee, Badri prasad, Kanhiayalal, Baby Meena(Meena kumari), Alaknanda, Brijrani and few others. The veteran composer Meer Sahab composed the melodious songs written by Munshi Shams Lucknowi.

Noorjehan ( 21.9.1926 – 23.12.2000 ) had a very short span of career in India- 1942 to 1947, as far as Hindi films are concerned. Her first Hindi film was Khandaan-42 as an adult and the last film was Jugnu-47. She acted in only 15 films during this period. They were Khandan-42, Naukar-43, Naadaan-43, Duhai-43, Lal Haveli and Dost in 44, Zeenat, Gaon ki Gori, Bhaijaan and Badi Maa in 45, Hamjoli, Dil and Anmol Ghadi in 46 and Mirza Sahibaan and Jugnu in 47. In these films, as per one source, she sang just 68 songs. 66 songs of these are already discussed on the Blog. Today’s song will be the 67th song.

As long as Noorjehan was in India, people were mad about her singing. After she left India, people became Nostalgic about her. Many composers used to insist the female singers to sing like Noorjehan ( just like after Saigal, his copies were popular), for quite some time. Over a period of course this influence waned. Out of the many artistes-in different categories of film making- who migrated to Pakistan, no one became as successful as Noorjehan. Not because she was extraordinary, but because there was an aura of fame and awe about her singing.

During 1980,Zia Sarhadi, who too had migrated to Pakistan, visited India. While in Bombay, he was asked ” How is our Noorjehan ?” He replied,” the most successful artiste who came from India was Noorjehan in Pakistan.”
” How is her singing?”
” you call it singing because she is singing, otherwise there is no charm in her singing anymore. Shreiking is what she does now, instead of singing. People in India are nostalgic about her. And why not ? Her best songs finished in India only. What she is doing in Pakistan , I wont call that singing ! ”
These words from a poet who wrote songs for her, like ” Diya jalakar aap bujhaya ” and ” Aaa intezar hai tera “,speak a lot about Norjehan’s singing in Pakistan.( from the book ” From Noorjehan to Lata” by Isak Mujawar).

I am not a fan of Noorjehan. In fact, except Mohd. Rafi, I dont consider any singer ( that includes Lata too) versatile and heart touching singer. Of course this is my personal opinion. Every person has his own likes and dislikes. When the tune is lovely, music is appropriate and Lyrics are meaningful, any song by any singer-in general- can become popular, but when Lyrics are meaningless, music is average and the tune is ordinary, to render a song that will touch your heart makes a singer immortal-like Rafi.

Film Lal Haveli-44 had some less known artistes namely Alaknanda and Brij Rani. Let us know more about them.

Brij Rani was born in 1921 at Shikarpur, Sindh province, in a well to do business family. She studied up to Matriculation and also qualified as a Middle School Teacher. However, she opted to join films as an actress. Her first film was Jeewan Jyoti-37, doing an un credited small role to get the feel, followed by Calcutta after Midnight-37, Aurat-40, Wayda-40, Ulti Ganga-42, Daughters of the Jungle-43, Bhagta Bhoot-43, Circus Girl-43 etc . She was getting roles only in stunt films and C grade films. Being from a business community, she started her own company- Bharat productions and herself made stunt films.
Meanwhile she continued acting in films like Lal Haveli-44 and acted and directed film Circus King-46 and film Sajni-47. Then there was a gap. probably she looked after her family. In 1951, she directed film Daamaad-51.

You will find one more name in the cast-Alaknanda. In Hindi films, there were many sister-pairs who worked as actresses, but in the history of Hindi films-both Silent as well as Talkie- there have been only 3 sets of 3 sisters who worked as actresses in the same periods. The first set was of Zubeida, Sultana and Shehzadi in the early 30s. Then in the 40s came the second set of Alaknanda, Tara and Sitara Devi. In the 50s, the last Trio of Padmini, Ragini and Lalitha worked in same period. After this, to my knowledge, no such Trio of actresses came on the screen. If you count step-sister also, then Mehtab was the step sister of Zubeida, Sultana and Shehzadi trio. This made them the only Quartet of Sister Actresses in Hindi Film History ever ! Even their mother Fatima acted, directed and Produced films, to boot !! Alas ! Their father did not join films !!!

Alaknanda was born in or around 1910 in a Banares situated Mishra family. Her clan had a tradition of singing in temples for the last 5 centuries. The family had close relations with Nepal and its Royal family. Her Grandfather was a court singer. Her grandmother and mother were from Nepal, so Alaknanda called herself as ‘ half Nepalese ‘.

When her father wanted to train her and her younger sister Tara, in Dancing and music, there was opposition from their society. Therefore the family moved to another corner of Banares and he started a Music school and trained children of Royal families from Bengal. In one of their visits to Calcutta, Sitara Devi was born in Calcutta. Alaknanda’s first Talkie film was Suryakumari-33. She worked in 37 films till late 40s. All three sisters worked together in film Haiwaan-40. She had sung 15 songs in 7 films. She got Cancer and died sometime in or around 1947. Not much information is available about her or her sister Tara/Tara Devi/Tarabai. Vithal Pandya, in his book mentions that in her last days, Tara stayed in Bombay slums and worked as extra in films in her old age( Famous dancer Gopi krishna was her son). Sitara Devi, on the contrary,lived a famous,rich and majestic life, with several marriages. That’s life, anyway.

Film Lal Haveli-44 story was nothing new. It was spun around an old time Thakur- beautiful daughter- cruel creditor etc type story. The story was-

Thakur Ramchand lives in his ancestral Haveli, of which he is very proud. His sister has eloped with an ordinary soldier. He had objected to their love story as the boy was from a lower caste. The soldier dies in war and his sister commits suicide. Thakur is very sad. His daughter Mukta (Noorjehan) is in love with her childhood friend Anand (Surendra). Thakur’s haveli is already mortgaged with seth Laxman singh. When thakur knows about Mukta’s love, he bans Anand from coming to their house, but the lovers meet secretly. Mukta is sent to attend the marriage of the daughter (Maya Banerjee) of Laxman singh. There, Laxman Singh’s son Jawahar (Ulhas) sees Mukta and desires her. On Mukta’s return to Thakur, Laxman singh proposes her marriage with Jawahar in return of his Haveli.
Mukta, to save family pride, agrees to this marriage. Anand is upset and joins Army and goes to the war front. Anand is injured severely. In the meantime Thakur dies and the marriage gets cancelled. Enraged, Jawahar decides to burn the Haveli as a revenge. Anand returns to the village, comes to know this. There is a confrontation of Jawahar and Anand. Finally, Jawahar has a change of heart, seeing the true love of Mukta and Anand and he blesses their marriage with Lal haveli as a Marriage Gift. So, all is well, happy ending.

In today’s video, see Noorjehan, Ulhas, Maya Banerjee, dancing- singing girls and enjoy this melodious song.

Bhaiya Phool Main Phoolon Ki Daali

Blog Day : 3691 Post No. : 14601

Greetings to all friends and readers for on today’s festival of Raakhi. I hope and pray that celebrations have been happily enjoyed in all households.

Ten years now that we have been celebrating this festival online on our blog. In the early years, as one browses through the articles posted, there was always this apprehension as to how many songs related to this festival may be found. But then the going has been good and strong, and noting the contribution sent in by group members, I think we are still good for a few years to come, to continue this celebration online. Folks have been sending in Raakhi songs from the recent decades, and we have also been searching and locating songs from the 1940s and 1950s still waiting to be posted.

Yes, this subject of the happy relationship between brothers and sisters is so central to the family storylines that abound in Hindi films. Such a large percentage of our films are romantic stories with strong family grounding, and in so many of them there is always a brother sister relationship to be highlighted. And when we have that as a prominent part of the screenplay, then more often than not a song has to come in to express the emotional sanctity and the beauty of this relationship. And that is a matter of common experience – isn’t it? Every person has had this relationship within family, within extended family, and within circle of friends too. And a great celebration this is – such a reassuring reminder of the people who matter in life.

This post is delayed – well, the drivers too have to celebrate you know. I have been busy with family gatherings and long distance phone calls since morning, and I am sure Atul ji too has been similarly occupied. And so would have been most of the readers and friends.

A wonderful song that was a favorite in the radio listening days is being brought up for posting today. The film is ‘Badnaam’ from 1975. Lyrics are from the pen of Asad Bhopali and the music – ah yes, the attractive and enchanting melody comes from the mind of that unsung genius – Ganesh. The tune is very catching, and I am sure you will remember it when you hear it again.

On screen, the song is performed by Nazima, who has played many second lead roles in her time, and many of them being of the younger sister. A charming and a bright screen presence she has. The person playing the role of the brother in this film is Baldev Khosa. The film comes from the banner of GeetaShri Films, Bombay and is directed by Dilip Bose. Besides the two performers we see in this clip, the rest of the cast of actors includes Reeta Anchan, Jalal Agha, Joginder, Jagirdar, Abhi Bhattacharya, Iftikhar, Mohan Choti, Brahmachari, Beerbal, Murad, Jagdev, Anita Guha, Gopal Sehgal, Master Ratan, Jayshree T, Master Chiku, Kamaldeep, Daya Devi, Lakshmi Chhaya, Anwar Hussain, and Sujeet Kumar.

Once again, hearty greetings to all readers and friends on this occasion of Rakhi.

Editor note- With this song, the fourth and final song from the movie, “Badnaam”(1975) joins the list of movies that have all their songs covered in the blog.

 

Song – Bhaiya Phool Main Phoolon Ki Daali  (Badnaam) (1975) Singer – Asha Bhosle, Lyrics – Asad Bhopali, MD – Ganesh

Lyrics

bhaiya phool main phoolon ki daali
jaise kaliyon ke mukhde pe laali
bhaiya phool main phoolon ki daali
jaise kaliyon ke mukhde pe laali
mera sapna tu. . .  haan
mera sapna tu
mera apna tu
tu hai to hai hariyaali
bhaiya phoo..oo..ool main daali
bhaiya phool main phoolon ki daali
jaise kaliyon ke mukhde pe laali

maathe pe tere chandan teeka
aaja aaj laga doon
maathe pet ere chandan teeka
aaja aaj laga doon
ik tere kaaran main duniya ki
har daulat thukra doon
tujh bin hai jeevan khaali
bhaiya phoo..oo..ool main daali
bhaiya phool main phoolon ki daali
jaise kaliyon ke mukhde pe laali

bajne do ab to mann ki veena
bajne do shehnaai
bajne do ab to mann ki veena
bajne do shehnaai
aaya hai kitne barson mein ab
behna ke ghar bhai
hoon na main kismatwaali
bhaiya phoo..oo..ool main daali
bhaiya phool main phoolon ki daali
jaise kaliyon ke mukhde pe laali

jag se na tootega ye naata
kitni bhi ho doori
jag se na tootega ye naata
kitni bhi ho doori
milne se hum ko kya rokegi
ab koi majboori
dhal gayi wo raina kaali
bhaiya phoo..oo..ool main daali
bhaiya phool main phoolon ki daali
jaise kaliyon ke mukhde pe laali
mera sapna tu. . .  haan
mera sapna tu
mera apna tu
tu hai to hai hariyaali
bhaiya phoo..oo..ool main daali
bhaiya phool main phoolon ki daali
jaise kaliyon ke mukhde pe laali

भैया फूल मैं फूलों की डाली
जैसे कलियों के मुखड़े पे लाली
भैया फूल मैं फूलों की डाली
जैसे कलियों के मुखड़े पे लाली
मेरा सपना तू॰ ॰ ॰ हाँ
मेरा सपना तू
मेरा अपना तू
तू है तो है हरियाली
भैया फू॰॰॰ल मैं डाली
भैया फूल मैं फूलों की डाली
जैसे कलियों के मुखड़े पे लाली

माथे पे तेरे चन्दन टीका
आजा आज लगा दूँ
माथे पे तेरे चन्दन टीका
आजा आज लगा दूँ
इक तेरे कारण में दुनिया की
हर दौलत ठुकरा दूँ
तुझ बिन है जीवन खाली
भैया फू॰॰॰ल मैं डाली
भैया फूल मैं फूलों की डाली
जैसे कलियों के मुखड़े पे लाली

बजने दो अब तो मन की वीणा
बजने दो शहनाई
बजने दो अब तो मन की वीणा
बजने दो शहनाई
आया है कितने बरसों में अब
बहना के घर भाई
हूँ ना मैं किसमतवाली
भैया फू॰॰॰ल मैं डाली
भैया फूल मैं फूलों की डाली
जैसे कलियों के मुखड़े पे लाली

जग से टूटेगा ये नाता
कितनी भी हो दूरी
जग से टूटेगा ये नाता
कितनी भी हो दूरी
मिलने से हम को क्या रोकेगी
अब कोई मजबूरी
ढल गई वो रैना काली
भैया फू॰॰॰ल मैं डाली
भैया फूल मैं फूलों की डाली
जैसे कलियों के मुखड़े पे लाली
मेरा सपना तू॰ ॰ ॰ हाँ
मेरा सपना तू
मेरा अपना तू
तू है तो है हरियाली
भैया फू॰॰॰ल मैं डाली
भैया फूल मैं फूलों की डाली
जैसे कलियों के मुखड़े पे लाली

Kahiyo Roye Dukhia Re, Ja Re Panchhi Tu Ja Re

The first time I saw this film, it was on Doordarshan, and the only song that I could appreciate (given my age) was “Bibi Mendaki Ri Tu To Paani Mein Ki Raani”. Rest of the film, its emotional and familial nuances were all lost on me. Those were the days, when watching television was a privilege bestowed upon oneself by a friendly neighbor. One would go to watch television at a neighbor’s home, or hang on to the windows, if entry was not permitted. And so, the opportunity that one gets to watch a movie was in itself a treat, and an accomplishment. And one always wanted to make the most of such opportunities. Getting bored was not only not an option, but it was a thought furthest from the mind. I have this placement in front of a TV screen, and I will watch it for as long as I am allowed, whatever may be the content. The serious stuff was mostly OHT (Overhead Transmission), and the mind would remember and register the fun parts like Balraj Sahni having poori and lassi at a halwai shop in the morning before reaching his office, or singing this above mentioned song with his children on the Sunday when he is at home. But as far as watching time is concerned, it was to be religiously spent, to watch the entire film, whether I could make out more of it or not.

Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin Baaki

Atul ji’s 10K Song Milestone Celebrations – 7
——————————————————————–

Sudhir ji, got in touch with us Atulwaasis and told us that there is a HUGE milestone coming up on the blog.

I had no clue that it was this huge. With my little knowledge of maths, I did some calculation and it works to an average of around 3 posts a day for the last 9 years. If that just seems like a number to you – you either do not understand hard work when you see it, or you are just a passer by seeing this blog for the first time.

While I still wonder how it is even possible to have such commitment and endurance I am reminded of what Atul ji often tells us – this is a “Labour of Love”. And then it all falls in place and makes so much sense. Atul ji has been a beacon of light, a guru, a nostalgia maker, the man who got all us crazy Atulwaasis together.

Raksha bandhan comes in the festive month of Shravan. This year it is on 29th August 2015. Wishing all a very Happy Raksha Bandhan.

This is the eighth time we are celebrating it on our blog. Does that mean we have run out of Raksha Bandhan songs to be posted? Actually if we take a look at the list on the right side of our blog –the list which breaks up the blog category wise— we find 21 Rakhi songs have been posted beginning with the all-time universal favourite “Bhaiyya Mere Rakhi Ke Bandhan Ko Nibhana” from the 1959 “Chhoti Behan”. The last song in this category was in 2013 by Sudhirji “pardesi ho humse rakhiya bandha” from a 1944 movie.

So now we are into the festival season in India. Post 15th August, the month of Sharavan in the Hindu calendar, we get one festival after the other. This year Raksha Bandhan is the first. In Maharashtra the Kolis celebrate it as Nariyal Poornima. They normally set out for fishing after this festival and offer Pooja to the Sea gods.

Wo door jo nadiya behti hai

Posted by: on: August 11, 2012


Jagdeep and Nanda played lovebirds in “Bhaabhi” (1957). Two years later, they play brother and sister in “Barkha” (1959).

Both these movies had another thing in common, viz lyrics by Rajinder Krishan and music by Chitragupta. Jagdeep had got a song to sing in “Bhaabhi” (1957), namely Chali chali re patang meri chali re. Here in “Barkha” (1959), we find Jagdeep and Nanda singing a bhai-bahan duet as they are travelling in 1950s style, viz on a bullock cart. 🙂
