#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’.

Hullo Atuldom

Acclaimed actress of the 1950s, who was much-loved even after she hung-up her acting boots in 1970, turns a year older-enters her 93rd year on this earth on 13th August. She was loved as much for her acting as her proficiency in dancing- she is a trained, disciplined Bharat Natyam dancer. Recently, in February 2024, at age 90, she took part in Raag Sewa performance series at Ram Mandir, Ayodhya, with a Bharat Natyam dance recital, and its video soon became viral on social media. She is a lady (from the older generation) who’s work I simply adore. The spark in her eyes when she is dancing is something out-of-this-world.

She was born in Madras (present day Chennai) to Mandyam Dhati Raman and Vasundhara Devi – an actress of the 1940s (herself). She was primarily raised by her grandmother Yadugiri Devi. At age 7, she was chosen to perform a classical Indian dance for Pope Pius XII while her mother was an audience, in 1940, at Vatican City. She learned Bharatnatyam from V. Ramaiah Pillai and Carnatic music from D. K. Pattammal, K. V. Narayanaswamy, M. S. Subbulakshmi, K. P. Kittappa Pillai and other such learned teachers of those times, under the guidance of her grandmother.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 36

For a change, we move away from Asha Bhosle solo songs to a beautiful duet she has sung with the ethereal voiced Mohd Rafi Saab.

Today’s song is “Khud Toh Badnaam Huye” from Chanda Aur Bijli (1969). The lyricist is Hasrat Jaipuri and the composer jodi is Shankar Jaikishan.

Four songs out of six have already been posted earlier, so this is the fifth song.

Today’s song is from the film Samaj ko badal dalo-1947. The film, made by Prakash Pictures, Bombay was directed by one one of its owners Vijay Bhatt. Music was by Khemchand Prakash. The cast of the film included Arun Ahuja, Mridula, Yakub, Umakant, Vikram Kapoor, Leela Pawar and many others.

Contrary to the usual Mythological films made by Prakash Pictures, this social tragedy film was a surprise to their audience. However, due to political instability, India’s proposed Partition and fear of communal riots, Prakash must have tried a safe way out. Additionally, unlike Mythological films, the social films did not need more time to finish the shootings.

Today’s song is from a social family drama film- Bahu Beti-1952.

The film was made under the banner of Baroda Theatres Limited, Bombay. It was directed by C.L.Dheer. he was the father of actor Pankaj Dheer, while it was produced by Sutlaj Dheer, mother of Pankaj Dheer. C.L.Dheer directed only 3 films. Today’s film, Zindagi-1956 and Aalingan-1974.

The music was by S.D.Batish – a cousin of Husnlal and Bhagatram. He later went to the U.K, where he worked for BBC and then migrated to the USA for good. Here he opened a Hotel and an Indian Music School . He also wrote several books on Indian music. His contribution in promoting Indian culture and music in the USA is praiseworthy.

#The Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————————————
(Celebrating Saawan-2025-11)
——————————-

Nowadays I am presenting saawan songs from Hindi films that were so far missing from the blog. In this process I am coming across surprises on a daily basis. I am discovering some great compositions.

Everybody has his/her own preferences in music. As for me, I mostly enjoy those creations that I had not listened to earlier.

While looking for songs thst I had never heard before, I got to listen to these songs and I noted them down to be used for my write-ups. That is how I got to listen to these songs, by specifically searching for them, something that most normal music lovers are not likely to do.
