“Paayal Ki Jhankaar” (1980) was a Rajshri Productions presentation, which was directed by Satyen Bose. It had a cast of Komal Mahuwakar (before this we had seen her in ‘Dream Girl’ as Baby Komal), Alankar (first role where he was not credited as Master Alankar), Surinder Kaur (I think this was her debut), Arun Kumar, Shail Chaturvedi, C.S. Dubey, Sudha Shivpuri, and a few more known & unknown faces who comprise the brigade of character artists in Hindi films.

Today’s song is from the film Suhagan-1954.
The film was a remake of a Marathi film, “Suwasini”-1953. It was produced by Datta Dharmadhikari for his own banner Alhad Chitra, Poona. (Alhad was his son’s name). The film was a Hit in Marathi, so a Hindi remake was made. It was directed by Marathi’s famous and successful director Anant Mane. Of course, when he directed this film, he was an assistant to Datta Dharmadhikari, but very soon he became a big name in Marathi.

Spy thriller as a genre of films has rarely been attempted during the first three decades of Hindi talkie films. The huge success of Eon Productions’ spy thriller films of James Bond series like ‘Dr. No.’ (1962), ‘From Russia With Love’ (1963), ‘Goldfinger’ (1964) etc when they were released in India prompted the Hindi film producers to make the films in this genre in the 1960s. The Indo-China war of 1962 and Indi-Pak war of 1965 created favourable situations for spy thriller films. Some of the Hindi films which were made especially during the second half of 1960s were ‘Farz’ (1967), ‘Spy in Goa’ (1967), ‘Spy in Rome’ (1968), ‘Golden Eyes Secret Agent 077’ (1968),’CID Agent 302’ (1968), ‘Aankhen’ (1968), ’Ham Saaya’ (1968), ‘Shatranj’ (1969) etc.

Today’s song is from the film Bandish-1955.
The film was directed by Satyen Bose and the music was by Hemant Kumar, with his assistant Ravi Shankar Sharma- or simply Ravi. This was Ravi’s last film as an assistant to Hemant Kumar. He was simultaneously giving music to film Vachan -1955, as an independent Music Director. His career grew successfully but he never forgot the help Hemant Kumar gave to him in his early years of film music. Till Hemant Kumar was connected with Hindi films, Ravi used him for songs in his films, wherever it was suitable. Hemant Kumar’s last Hindi film came in 1979 (Love in Canada) and Ravi lasted till 2000 (Ek alag Mausam).

When one looks at Hindi movies, one realises that the dominant genres of Hindi movies keep changing with time. In the early decades of 1930, fantasy movies and mythological movies ruled the roost. From late 1940s, melancholic movies became popular.
In 1950s, crime movies, inspired from similar movies made in the west, began to be made by Hindi movie makers. Then we saw lost and found stories in 1960s, and angry young man stories in 1970s and so on.
One notices that the music in crime movies of 1950s were also inspired from west. In some cases, tunes were lifted from western tunes. Since information age was nowhere in sight those days unlike now so movie makers could get away from plagiarisation with impunity in most cases. Even otherwise, western instruments came into usage in Hindi movie magic that were used to create not only western style music but also desi style music.
