Today’s song is from the film Service Limited-1939.

It was a Sagar Movietone presentation, directed by C.M.Luhar. Music was by Anupam ghatak – a famous and popular Bengali composer. The cast of the film consisted of Surendra, Maya Banerjee, Bibbo, Yakub, Harish, Kalyani, Zia Sarhadi, Bhudo Advani, Kanhaiyalal and his brother Sankatha Prasad and other Sagar regular artists.

Film Service limited-1939 was a Social cum Crime cum Mystery cum Comedy film. After the initial enthusiasm of making Mythologicals and Parsi Theatre type costume dramas, film makers of the late 30s started trying to present films based on imported themes or comedy films. While films were made on works of authors like Agatha Christie etc, there were directors who tried their hands on offbeat entertaining themes.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-12

Today’s duet composition by Rahul Dev Burman is from the 1996 movie ‘Ghatak’ or ‘Ghaatak’. This movie was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi who also produced this movie for his home productions ‘Santoshi Productions, Bombay’. It was passed by the Censor Board on 01.11.1996.

In the last post under this series we had a song from the 1993 movie ‘Aaja Meri Jaan’. No movies with R D Burman’s music were released during 1994 and 1995. Though the movie ‘1942 A Love Story’ is mentioned as a movie of 1994, it was actually certified by the Censor Board on 31.12.1993. So it is obvious that it was released in the theatres in 1994. (However as per non-documented but strictly adhered 🙂 to SOP of this blog, we now need to correct the year of ‘1942-A Love Story’ as 1993 on this blog 🙂 ).

The cast of ‘Ghatak-1996’ included Sunny Deo, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Danny Dengzongpa, Tinu Anand, K.K. Raina, Anjan Shrivastava, Amrish Puri, Om Puri, Mamta Kulkarni, Mukesh Rishi, Ila Arun, Viju Khote, Harish Patel, Brij Gopal and others. Music for this movie was composed by R.D Burman and Anu Malik. Since R.D Burman passed away during the making of the film, Anu Malik was roped in to record the remaining one song for this movie. This movie has five songs and total six sound tracks including a ‘theme music’ track composed by R.D Burman. Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the songs for this movie. Playback singers for this movie are Suresh Wadkar, Sadhna Sargam, Alka Yagnik, Shankar Mahadevan, Anu Malik, Kavita Krishnamurthy, and Asha Bhonsle.

Before coming to the song, I would like to talk about the film itself. I remember going to see it at Chandragupt Talkies, one of the then popular single screen cinemas of Indore with my brother and enjoying this movie. That cinema is long gone like many other single screens but I still remember the josh of going to that huge cinema hall. Indore which came in the MP circle used to have this unique thing that the cinemas would get displayed on Thursdays (most other circles actually screened the movie the next day on the Friday). There would be huge queues to do advance bookings in those cinemas. Sometimes, we would have to request passing by girls and ladies to stand in the ladies queue to get tickets fast!

Today’s song is from a Religious film- Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu-1953.

Consequent to the grand success of the film BAIJU BAWRA-1952, the Prakash Pictures of the Bhatt brothers came out of its financial crisis, making a handsome profit and regaining its fame. For their next film, they repeated the Hero of Baiju Bawra – Bharat Bhushan and resorted again to their comfort zone of Religious/Mythological film Genre.

For a change, this time they opted for a story on a Saint from Eastern India. They hoped, perhaps, to recapture the Hindi film market in the Eastern Territory, which had suffered due to the closed outflow of Hindi films from New Theatres, Calcutta, which was on the verge of closing down totally. To attract the East India audience,they even hired R.C.Boral- one of the major supporters of New Theatres from its beginning- as the Music Director of this film.

Mohd Rafi – A Journey Divine – 1
(1944-46)

किसी ने कभी पानी से पूछा — पानी रे पानी तेरा रंग कैसा

तो जवाब जो पानी ने दिया — जिसमें मिला दो लगे उस जैसा

Someone once asked water, “Water, water, what color is yours?” The answer water gave was, “My color will resemble whatever I am mixed with.” This isn’t a quality, a skill, an art, or anything significant. It’s the very nature of water, a gift from God, bestowed upon water. When God created water in the universe, He granted it an inexhaustible treasure: despite being colorless, it possesses the unique ability to manifest every other color. Perhaps with a similar thought in mind, God brought to this earth an individual whose voice was so gifted with the ability to become the voice of any and every personality, every character. He shaped that individual’s personality with such natural simplicity that it could provide a voice for everyone behind the scenes, yet its own existence remained completely inconspicuous. This individual’s voice might be in the background, but listeners might not even be aware of its presence. Over time, this voice would linger behind hundreds of characters. Only those who knew would know what it was.

Today’s song is from a social film Hum Ek Hain-1969.

There were 3 films having this same title. They were made in 1946, 1969 and 1982. Like the same name confusion of artists, even the film titles of same name can cause confusion. This can be seen clearly if you see such films’ songs on Youtube. Well known music company SAREGAMA is well known for such confusion. When I was searching for a song from today’s film, I found a song, but it was labelled as from the film Hum Ek Hain-1946. Even photos from the 1946 film of the same title were shown on the song audio. Since the song’s mukhada and the singers’ names were as mentioned in HFGK for the 1969 song, I heard the entire song and confirmed from the lyrics that actually it was from the film Hum ek hain-1969.

This is the reason I tell people to ensure mentioning the correct year of the film along with the title, to avoid such confusion.
