Today’s song is from the film Shahnaaz-1948.
This film was directed by a Comedian- Shaikh and the music was by Singer/Actress Amirbai Karnataki. The cast of the film was Begum Para, Altaf, Nihal, Shanta Patel, Gulnar, Shama Dulari, Basheer , Shaikh and others. Most of the cast, except Begum Para and Altaf, was from C grade action films.
One of the interesting riddles the new “Old Film” lovers chew with interest is, who was the first woman Music Director in Hindi films. Time and again it has been proven, told, written and accepted that Bibbo aka Isharat Sultana was the First woman M.D., but still it is raised every now and then and the debate continues unabated.

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 parva – The Ashwamedha Parva of Mahabharat in the sub–parva 91-92.

Today’s song is from an obscure film Kul kalank-45.
If one critically looks at the artistes’ mix in Hindi films from Talkie era beginning upto 1947, one would find that, if not a majority, a sizable number was of Muslim community. The 15 % section of Indian population was prominently present in the film world. Actors, actresses, directors, singers, Lyricists and Music directors… you name a department and they were there. In a way this community enriched the film and music by bringing Ghazals, Thumris etc into the Music and dance items like Mujra and qawalis became famous and popular part of the Hindi films.

GEMS FROM THE MIGRATORS…..song no. 9
———————————————-
When we talk of Partition and Migration of artistes from one country to another, only the famous and the well known names are taken. There were hundreds of small time actors, directors, lyricists, composers, instrument players, chorus singers, technicians etc who were not known to many and also had migrated for various reasons. The other day I was reading a book, ” Who’s who: Music in Pakistan ” written by A.Shaikh and M.Shaikh. In this book I found several names of singers, composers, lyricists and above all instrument players, who shifted to Pakistan.

Just now I came across a fantastic duet song from the era gone by. What a delightful song ! A song like this can magically transport the listeners back in time to those days, even if those days happened to be days before many of us were even born.
