Today’s song is from the film Guru Ghantal-1956.

There was a film in 1937 also with the same title. The story of both the films were on similar lines. But do you know what the meaning of the word Guru Ghantal is ? I did not know, but I found out from a Hindi-English dictionary, published in 1889. This was compiled by ” The Rev. T.Craven, M.A.”, in Lucknow. Many years ago, I had a habit of roaming on the streets of big cities like Bombay, Delhi, Calcutta or even smaller cities like Poona, Lucknow or Hyderabad, in search of second hand old and rare books. I found this dictionary of Hindi-English-Hindi and Urdu-English-Urdu words for sale in Lucknow. It was quite a thick book and occupied considerable space in my suitcase. The book is extremely useful and I have to use it very carefully because, being so old-135 years- its pages have become brittle and delicate. It is one of my prized possessions !

Tu Chhupi Hai Kahaan
Main Tadapta Yahaan. . .

The anguished voice of Diwakar, the poet, that begins as a whisper from a famished throat, rises up to the heavens, as the poet is so painfully trying to search for his creativity – his muse, his love of life, a fantasy woman whom he has woven into his writings.

Mohini, whom he meets often at many a turn of the passages of life, is the romance that is rooted in his imagination, the power of creativity that propels his pen to create music and songs which are not understood, not accepted by his family and dear ones.

It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This is a Chinese saying which teaches us that even the longest and most difficult ventures have a starting point; something which begins with one first step.

We in the blog have been following this saying without realising it. If one song post is considered one step, then we took our first step on 19 July 2008. Today (8 February 2024) is the 5683rd day for the blog. With this post we take our 18200th step. Or to be more precise, this post is the 18200th post for the blog. The figure of 18200 is quite a mind boggling figure, but we were able to achieve it without putting us under any pressure. We just kept covering a few songs every day, kept celebrating important milestones, kept enjoying the journey, and now, here we are.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film ” Usha Haran’-1949.

Hindi films or for that matter Indian films are a mix of various Genres. They cater to almost every segment of Indian society. Some stories are more popular than others and some Genres give surprises. For example, one would feel that comedy films are very popular, but statistics says that Tragedy films too are equally supported by the audience. One glaring example is, the early tragedy films of Dilip kumar ( in which he invariably died at the end ) and Meena Kumari and Nimmi made them Grade 1 artistes ! On the contrary, none of the 3 comedy actors like master Bhagwan, Mehmood or even Kishore Kumar were ever called A class actors !!

Today’s song is from a Hindi film made in Madras with South actors, a Debutante lady Director and an M.D. pair. The film was “Chandirani”-1953, simultaneously made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

The year was 1948. A developing and fast growing southern film studio was making an ambitious Tamil film on a very big scale. The producer Director was very ambitious and he wanted his film to be All India famous. The only way to make it happen was to make this film in Hindi too, so that the All India market can be captured. His thought was final and thus began the historical thrust of south made Hindi films into the Hindi market of all India with S.S.Vasan’s giant film venture ” Chandralekha” in Tamil and Hindi languages. The film had taken 5 years to be made.

In the early 1940s, New Theatres (NT) was going through some lean period as some of its films like ‘Meenakshi’ (1942), ‘Saugand’ (1942), ‘Kashinath’ (1943), ‘Waapas’ (1943) etc could not garner box office success. During this period, there were exodus of some of the artists and technicians from NT to Bombay. In this background, NT produced ‘Udayer Pathe’ (1944) in Bengali with some new artists, new technicians and also with a new director, Bimal Roy who was the Cinematographer and the Editor with NT. The film became a big box office success, recouping to some extent the lost glory of NT.
