Today’s song is from a less known film with well known songs – Oonchi haveli-1955.

This social film was produced and directed by Dhirubhai Desai for his own banner Sharad productions, Bombay. Dhirubhai B. Desai was a Hindi and Gujarati film director. He was born in Kaliawadi,near Navsari,Gujaratrat, on 31-1-1908. He started at Sharda studios in 1927 by assisting A.P.Kapoor. He completed Gujarati film’ Maya no Rang’,which was left unfinished by P.V.Chavan and Sunder rao Nadkarni, when Bhogilal Dave took over his United Pics Syndicate in 1929. His early work was in silent films of action ( 17 silent films), in Sharada and later with Indulal Yagnik.

Today’s song is from a confusingly titleed film-Anban-1944.

Hindi film titles are sometimes funny and sometimes confusing. Funny, we can understand but confusing titles can cause problems. I can understand the same titles for films. There are hundreds of such examples. Same titled films can be found from 2 to 7 films. Yes. Film title ” Insaaf’ was used for 7 films from 1937 to 1997 – one each in every decade !

When titles are similar but not exactly the same, they can still cause confusion. Here are some examples….. Aajkal and Aaj aur kal, Aarsi and Aarti, Shadi ke baad and Shadi se pehle, Agent 1-2-3, Agent 777 and Agent 999, Lagaan and Lagaam, Daanaa Paanee and Dana Pani etc etc.

Today’s film also falls in this category. There was a film called Aanbaan and this is Anban. For several years I was confused, but when I read in a Film magazine that this is Un-bun (discord or rift in English), my confusion was cleared. (Aanbaan means dignity or pride in English).

‘Dil Aakhir Dil Hai’ (1982) was produced by M S Gulati and was directed by Esmayeel Shroff. The cast included Rakhee, Nasiruddin Shah, Parveen Babi, Jalal Agha, Rehman, A K Hangal, Deena Pathak, Dinesh Hingoo, Ramesh Tiwari, Murad, Leela Mishra etc.

In an interview with The Times of India, which was published on October 27, 2022, Nasiruddin Shah has revealed that he was cast in the film only because Rishi Kapoor had backed out from the film. Film’s director, Esmayeel Shroff propped him up by saying that he can do any type of roles. But as the film progressed, he and the director realised that he was a misfit in the film. Probably, this was one of the reasons that film failed at the box office.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————

In this post I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Badmaash-1969’. This movie was introduced on this blog by our Shree Sudhir jee with its song ‘uthhaa palkein milaa nazren’ on the blog. This movie was then a ‘missing movie’ for the blog. I guess this movie was a very rare and obscure movie and it continues to remains so.

“Badmaash-1969” was a stunt movie which was directed by B.J. Patel for Saras Chitra, Bombay. It had Sheikh Mukhtar, Helen, Chandrashekhar, Padma, N.A. Ansari, Vishva Mehra, Dalda, Shashimala, Satyen Kapoor, Jilani, Chandrakala, Surya Kumar, Bhagwan, Rachna, Jayshree, Satish Vyas, Nawab, Jaswant, Ajit, Abdul Sattar, Nanak, Motu, Nandini Desai and others. This movie ‘Badmaash-1969’ has four songs composed by Avinash Vyas. Lyricist for all the four songs is Anjaan. The singers list mentioned in HFGK has Krishna Kalle and Mahendra Kapoor as singers for this movie. However for one song the singer’s name is not mentioned in HFGK.

Today’s song is from a less known or rather unknown, obscure film- Mulaqat-1947.

This was one of the movies of 1947, which was made in great haste, adding only to the quantity of films. Actually the Music Director as well as the cast of the film was good, but somehow the film did not click.

This was a film with Muslim social background. The cast of the film was Naseem Banu, Prem Adib, Rama Shukla, Mumtaz Ali, Majid, Najma, Shah Nawaz and many others.

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
—————————————————————

‘Hans Ke Jiyo-1950’ (or 1941-1950) was an unreleased movie from the decades of 1941-1950. As per information available in Geet Kosh Vol-II (1941-1950) this movie was made in the decade of 1941-1950. But, there is very less information available about this movie. The name of the production banner for this movie is mentioned as D.M.G. Films. Director of this movie is not mentioned. Likewise, no information is available about the cast of this movie. However Geet Kosh lists seven songs for this movie with singer’s name for each song. Again the lyricist name for the individual songs is mentioned for two songs only which is Chhabi Kumar ‘Mast’, and rest songs have been left blank against the lyricist’s name. The singers list for this movie includes Sulochana Kadam, Sadashiv Gujar, Suman Purohit, and Vinod Kumar.

Atuldom is a lovely place to be. We have some like-minded film music lovers who make the job of post writing very easy. Let me explain.

I was planning a post on a song from the 1999 released, Milan Luthria directed and Ramesh Taurani & Kumar S. Taurani (under their banner of Tips Cassettes) produced film “Kachche Dhaage”. I was planning the post as a tribute to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan whose death anniversary happens to be on 16th August. He passed away on this date in 1997 when he was only 49.

Today’s song is from a mysterious film – But Tarash-1947.

When I first heard this film’s name, for a very long time, I was puzzled about its meaning. First I thought ‘ But’ is written by mistake for ‘Boot’. But Then what was Tarash ?
Was it also by mistake, for ‘Trash’ ? No, it could not be !

Very wisely, I referred to my dictionary of ” Urdu into English and vice versa”. Conveniently, it lists Urdu words in Roman script, so one who can not read Urdu, can also use this dictionary easily. This dictionary is compiled by The Rev. T.Cravel,M.A. and it was published in 1889 from Lucknow. This book is one of my prized possessions and I got this from my father 70 years ago. This 136 year old book has to be handled very carefully as its pages have become yellowish brown and very sensitive for breakages. The dictionary meaning of ” But Tarash” is ‘One who sculpts an idol’. In Hindi we call it a ‘Shilpkar’ or a ‘ Moortikar’.
