Today’s song is the last and final song of the film Hatimtai-1956.
I have a very funny memory about this film’s name, Hatim Tai. During my school days, when I first got the book “Stories of Hatim Tai”, from my school Library for reading, I thought these were the stories of the elder sister of someone called Hatim. I thought so because in marathi, ” TAI” means ‘Didi’ or elder sister. However, once i started readingthe book, I realised that I was wrong and Hatimtai was the name of the Hero of the stories. For many years thereafter, I kept on wondering about this misleading name. Finally, in another book I got the answer to my curiosity.
Abid Allah Bin Sa’d at – Tayyi was an Arabic Christian knight and Chief of the TAYYI tribe of Arabia. He was very generous, brave and adventurous. His son Adi Ibn Hatim was the companion of Prophet Muhammad of Islam. After the death of this chief, an author Sayad Haider wrote a book on him titled ” Qissa- E-Hatim Tai” ( Tai is actually the short form of TAYYI – his tribe’s name) The story book is about how Hatim Tai solved the 7 riddles of the beautiful Husn Banu and won her love. The book is full of adventure stories of Hatim Tai. This also clarifies that Hatim tai is not a character from Arabian Night stories.
When films started being made – first Silent and then the Talkie, the filmmakers would not miss such ” Masaledar’ adventures without making a film on Hatim Tai. The first silent film on Hatim Tai was made in 1929 by Krishna Film company. All over the world and the Hindi film world films were made on Hatim Tai.
Bharat Movietone of Bombay made 4 films serially on Hatim Tai as Hatim Tai-1, 2, 3 and 4. Marutirao Pehelwan, a handsome and well built actor was the hero of these films. He was the same actor who did the lead role of the first Gujarati language talkie film ” Narsi Mehta’-1932. He was the husband of actress Tara (sister of Alaknanda and Sitara Devi0 and father of the Dancer Gopi Kishen. Later on the following films came on this story…
Hatim Tai ki beti-1940
Hatim Tai ka beta-1945
Hatim Tai-1947
Hatim Tai ki beti-1955
Hatim Tai-1956
Hatim Tai ka Beta-1965 and
Saat sawal-1971
HATIMTAI(1956), a Basant Pictures film, was produced and directed by Homi Wadia. The MD was S.N.Tripathi and lyrics were by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, B.D.Mishra, Akhtar Romani and Chand Pandit. The cast was Jairaj, Shakila, B.M.Vyas, Meenakshi, Krishnakumari, Bhagwan, Ranibala, Neena, Shaikh etc.
The story was,
Hatimtai wants to find out about a Pearl, as big as an ostrich egg, in which the owner can see anybody and anything in this world. He also wants to know the secret of Hamamabad. Princess Meher tells him that the pearl is with magician Amalak. Husn Pari loves Hatimtai but the magician has kept her in captivity. Hatimtai fights with the magician on the top of the tower, where the Parrot(in which the Magician’s life is kept) is killed and the magician dies at Hatimtai’s hands. Hatimtai breaks the magic Pearl to forbid its wrong use and releases all captives-including Husn pari, with whom he marries and becomes king of Hamamabad.
Jairaj, the hero of the film Hatim Tai-1956 was very popular in Hyderabad state, in the 50’s as “The son of Hyderabad”. He was born in Karimnagar district of this Muslim state. In Telugu he was called ” Man wadu” ( मन वाडू ), meaning ” our man”. Surprisingly, in his illustrious career of 70 years, he did not work in even one Telugu film- his mother tongue. When the film Hatim Tai was released in Hyderabad on 16-3-1956, the Nizam of Hyderabad was the chief of the state as “Raj Pramukh” appointed by the Government of India, with a hefty Privy Purse. He was quite anxious to see this film of Jairaj. So, a special show was arranged in Zamarrud Mahal Talkies, the nearest and the most luxurious theatre of those times, for H.E.H. the Nizam and his entourage.
When the song “Paravar digar e aalam ” started on the screen, the Nizam, a devout person, got emotional. He asked for a replay of the song as many as 7 times ! After 2-3 days, this news appeared in the local paper The Deccan Chronicle. This enhanced the curiosity of people and the film celebrated the Silver Jubilee in Hyderabad ! The record of this song had a record sale in the local shops too !!
Jairaj ( 28-9-1909 to 11-8-2000) was from a cultured, rich, Zamindar family. He acted in 11 Silent films from 11929 to 1931 and over 200 Talkie films from 1932 onwards. In his 70 years’ career he worked in Gujarati and Marathi films, directed 3 films, produced 3 films and acted in 3 English films. He married a Punjabi girl and had 2 sons and 4 daughters. He was the First kissing star of Hindi films. He acted in 16 films with Nirupa Roy.
When talkie films came Jairaj was handicapped by the fact that he was no singer. Jairaj too was expected to sing songs. He did not like singing, because he was horrible at singing. The Music Director of the film Patit pawan-33 was Prof.B.R.Deodhar, who was a classical singer himself. (Later on he established a musical school). He was determined to make Jairaj sing a song. Finally a song was recorded and filmed-“prem magan sakhi”. Jairaj had sung it so badly, that the song was removed from the film from the second show itself. Jairaj is probably the only Hero of those days who never sang in films. Even as a lip syncher of songs (after playback singing became the norm), Jairaj has sung only 28 songs on screen despite acting in nearly 215 movies! But he managed to stay in the reckoning by starring in action films. With the introduction of playback singing, he forged forth with films like Rifle Girl, Bhabhi, Panna and Mahasagar No Moti – which were all hits.
Today’s song is the last and final song of this film, making the film YIPPEED ! Enjoy….

Chorus
Lyrics
Dil kis pe aa gaya hai tumhaara jawaab do
dil kis pe aa gaya hai tumhaara jawaab do
ghaayal hua hai kaun bechaara jawaab do
ghaayal hua hai kaun bechaara jawaab do
dil kis pe aa gaya hai tumhaara jawaab do
ghaayal hua hai kaun bechaara jawaab do
jo baat poochhti ho wo kaise bataaun main
jo baat poochhti ho wo kaise bataun main
wo raaz haay kis tarah honthon pe laaun main
wo raaz haay kis tarah honthon pe laaun main
kyun chhedti ho mujhko khudaara jawab do
ghaayal hua hai kaun bechaara jawaab do
dil kis pe aa gaya hai tumhaara jawaab do
ghaayal hua hai kaun bechaara jawaab do
sharma ke aankh jhukti hai kyun har sawaal par
sharma ke aankh jhukti hai kyun har sawaal par
surkhi si daud jaati hai kyun gorey gaal par
surkhi si daud jaati hai kyun gorey gaal par
kab mil rahi ho unse dubaara jawaab do
kab mil rahi ho unse dubaara jawaab do
ghaayal hua hai kaun bechaara jawaab do
dil kis pe aa gaya hai tumhara jawaab do
ghaayal hua hai kaun bechaara jawaab do
allah bachaaye kaisi mili hain saheliyaan
allah bachaaye kaisi mili hain saheliyaan
jeene na dengi ye mujhe shaitaan ki cheliyaan
jeene na dengi ye mujhe shaitaan ki cheliyaan
chup ho na jab tak inko karaara jawaab do
ghaayal hua hai kaun bechaara jawaab do
dil kis pe aa gaya hai tumhaara jawaab do
ghaayal hua hai kaun bechaara jawaab do
Aji iss phaani duniya mein muhabbat ke siwa kya hai

Today’s song is from a C grade Costume film of the 50s, Aan Baan-56. It was made by D D Kashyap, under his own banner, Kashyap Productions, Bombay. Needless to mention that the film was directed by himself. Music was by Husnlal-Bhagatram, with assistance from krishan Chander. The cast of the film was Ajit, Mahipal, Nalini Jaywant, Usha Kiran, Pran, Ulhas, Manmohan Krishna and many others.
On Saturday, 16th May morning, I got a call on my Mobile. I picked it up and saw that it was flashing name of Bharatbhai and his photo. A little surprised to get his call at early morning hours, I took the call and as usual said,” Good Morning Bharat ji. Aaj subah subah yaad kiya ?” There was a pause and an unfamiliar voice said, ” Main Bharat ji ka beta baat kar raha hoon.” I knew he was ill. My mind suddenly became alert. For next 5 minutes his son was giving me details of his illness and finally he ended with those dreaded words, ” last Friday,8th May ko raat mein 1230 baje Bharatbhai ki death ho gayi “.
I was stunned. I gave my condolences to the bereaved family and kept the phone. I sat still for five minutes. Then I saw a missed call from Sadanand ji. I gave him a call. He too had got the news. We shared our thoughts and it was decided that Sadanand ji will announce this news on our WA group.
Old people parting is not unusual, but when the departed one is close to you or a family member, one does feel the pain. Bharatbhai was around 87 year old, recently he had a Hip Replacement operation and thereafter he was not well. I had spoken to him in the Hospital as well as when he came back home also. However, his going was a pinching shock.
I came to know Bharatbhai in or around 2013, through our Blog. Those days we did not have the WA group. We started exchanging songs and related matters on phone and e-mails. Then he and Nitin ji came calling to my house in early 2014, first time an Atulite visited me. I was very thrilled. I introduced my wife to them. We had deeper friendship after that. One of his friends, Mr. Chavda, stays in our building and is my friend too. During the last 7 years we visited each other’s houses many times, for meetings or otherwise also. When some important person used to visit me, I used to call him also. Thus he had met Biren Kothari, Shishir krishna Sharma, Rajnikumar Pandya, AK ji and others first time at my place only.
In 2018, he, myself and Sadanand ji visited Surat to meet Harish Raghuvanshi ji. Even in this age, his enthusiasm and memory was praiseworthy. The last we met was in Sadanand ji’s house. He missed one meeting in my house in this January, due to his health issues.
Bharat ji was Tech Savvy at this age also. He had a good collection of books. He actually xeroxed few books from his collection and gave me, on my request. Jolly and friendly Bharat ji can not be forgotten easily. Losing him is a great loss. I pray for his Eternal Peace and Attainment of Moksha !
Life goes on……
Today’s film was a routine film. The period in which such films attracted audiences had long ceased, but still some such films were made, albeit in much less numbers. Costume films had a fixed theme of story. Good and Old King, bad Vazir or close relative, beautiful daughter, her handsome singing lover, final sword fighting and all is well in the end. Same story with some ship-shaping here and there used to be presented. In this connection I remember one thing.
In 2004, a book called “Why we tell stories’, written by Christopher Booker was published. It is a book having more than 700 pages-728 pages to be exact. The book says “There are only 7 (Seven) basic plots in the whole world. They are recycled again and again in Novels, movies, Plays and Operas. These are
1.Overcoming the Monster
2.Rags to riches
3.The quest
4.Voyage and return
5.Rebirth
6.Comedy and
7.Tragedy “.
After this book was published, there was a chaos and criticism started. ‘New York Times’ also jumped in. The author coolly replied all points and stuck to his statements. If we look at Hindi films, I personally feel that what the author has said is true in our case. Only thing is that our film stories are always a clever mixture of all or some of the above points. A peculiar thing in our film industry is the ” Story Department” in some film production companies. Members of this department have Extra Para Perception and Extraordinary imagination. They can mix all 7 story elements in one ‘Khichdi’ and make a film. There are many cases where over enthusiasm on their part has killed the Box office prospects of even good films.
I quote her an example. Prakash pictures had become famous for their 2 Block buster hit films based on Ramayan stories. So when their third Ramayan film ” Ram Baan”-48 came, anxious audiences crowded the theatres, but within few days, the theatres were almost empty and the film flopped so badly that it could be called a ” super duper Flop ” ! The reason ? The story department of Prakash pictures and their wildest imaginations !
The team of Mohanlal Dave and Pt. Girish twisted the original Ramayan story so crudely (or cruelly?), that the audience could not digest it. The film showed a) Shurpankha’s swayamvar in Ravana’s darbar – which is not in Ramayana b) Sita wants in this film the Suvarn Mrig skin for NOT her Kanchuki, but as a gift to Laxman’s wife Urmila ! Too much wild imagination. c) Ravan gives his Sandals to Seeta to walk out of the Laxman Rekha…utter foolishness and finally d) Shabari goes to Rama to invite him and when he comes, introduces Hanuman and Sugriva to Rama. She describes how Ravana took Seeta to Lanka etc. Total lies !
These story department twists to Ramayana story, put Prakash Pictures to such a loss, that they came out of it only after Baiju Bawra, 4 years later. The story of film Aan Baan -56 is also a twisted form of the set pattern. Nothing really new in it. Naturally the film was not a success. The director D D Kashyap was an all rounder in films.
DHARAM DEV KASHYAP aka D.D.Kashyap was born in 1910 at Jalalpur in UP(now Uttar Pradesh,but earlier called United Province), in a middle class family without any connection to films or music. When DD came to the college in Lucknow, he was awed by the silent movies. By 1931 the Talkie started and he decided films as his career. He knew that it is only Bombay that can extend opportunities to him. Reaching Bombay, he laboriously worked up his way,doing menial jobs on the way, to the V.Shantaram camp. He was a learned man with a flair for writing, hence he got a chance to become an assistant to Munshi Aziz, while writing dialogues for AADMI-1939.(I checked the credits of Aadmi and truly his name features in the list of assistants, in the Dialogues section.) I can only imagine how he must have felt then.
Looking at his enthusiasm, Shantaram promoted him as one of his asst.Directors in PADOSI-1941. He even did a cameo role of OMKAR in Padosi.
Now he had enough experience and his first film as a Director was NAI KAHANI-1943. Then came a series of films, Chand, Nargis, Aaj ki Raat, pyar ki Jeet, Badi Behan, Kamal ke phool, Aaram, Do sitare, badnam, Naya Ghar, Shama Parwana, Aan baan, Halaku, Maya(Dev Anand film), and Dulhan ek raat ki-67.
he has also written the story of 10 o’clock-58.
He was an actor, writer, s/play writer, dialogue writer, producer as well.
Actually he produced Badi behan-a hit film, Aaram-another hit and Shama Parwana.
He died on 5-9-1988,at Bombay.
Today’s song is a duet of Asha and Mubarak Begum, which, I guess, is the only such duet. The song has a suspicious resemblance to another song from a later film – which I am unable to recollect the name now. If any reader knows, please write in comment section.

Jab ishq kahin ho jaata hai

Today I have found a long lost acquaintance with this qawwali. Actually I was looking at songs of this ‘Aarzoo’ posted in the blog, and thought it is not marked with red which means some songs are yet to be found. I have seen this movie too on T. V., the old black and white one. And thought i knew all the songs. I reached raaga.com through google search. There I found this song listed as ‘jab ishq kahin ho jaata’ sung by Asha Bhosle and Mubarak Begum. No, those words did not ring a bell. Than searching for audio/video on youtube revealed the ‘jab ishq kahin ho jaata hai’ The final ‘hai’ was very effective and I recalled the song, mukhda and even the words in the antaras were eminently guessable. It has been a while since I heard this song, and definitely had no inkling who are the singers of this song.

This film has lots and lots of songs, as I am discovering for last few days. First the genuine qawwali which is a matter of interest to S. D. Burman’s fans. I have been wondering for some months if S. D. Burman ever composed a qawwali. Than a qawwali from ‘Dr. Vidya’ was posted a few days back. Than ‘bluefire ji’ drew my attention to this qawwali from the film “Benazir’. This is written by Shakeel Badayuni and singers are Mubarak Begum and Asha Bhosle. Since then I have seen many songs of this film which have a lot of playback singers. The list of female singers includes Lata, Usha, Suman Kalyanpure apart from Mubarak Begum and Asha. Among male singers I have been able to find only Rafi’s songs. I do not know if there is any other song featuring male singers. We shall see at least a couple of wonderful Lata solos on Meena Kumari, in the coming days. The songs are a treat to ears.

I had posted a write up on Jab tak duniya rahi rahegi from the film YE DIL KISO DOON (1963) ON March 26, 2012. Actually, I had short-listed ‘ hamen dam daike’ from this film, sung by Mubarak Begum and Asha Bhonsle for discussion but at the last moment, I chose the first one as I was influenced by the presence of a charming Shashi Kapoor and the impressive use of lighting during the picturisation of the song. I watched once again the video clip of the second song and felt that this song should also be brought for discussion in this blog. I was getting a feeling that my action of dropping Mubarak Begum’s song was akin to the Hindi film industry’s treatment to Mubarak Begum during her singing career. So to make amends, here is this Mubarak Begum-Asha Bhonsle duet song for discussion.
