Today’s song is from a special film from the early era of the Hindi Talkie films – Mahageet-1937.

In 1645, German Mathematician Ethonius Kircher, during his usual work, accidentally found that unmoving pictures, if seen quickly in a chronicled manner could give the feel of movement. He made a box for this and named it ” Kircher Magic Lamp” aka Kitoscope. This is considered as the birth of the idea of the films. Over a period of 250 years, Edison made his first prototype Kinetoscope in 1891. Its improved version was exhibited on 14-4-1894. However, the French Lumier Brothers made a Cinematograph and it was commercially presented on 28-12-1895. By a strange coincidence, it was done in an ” Indian Salon” in the Grand Cafe Hotel in Paris.

Today’s song is from the film Jwala-1938.

It was a regular Costume film made by Master Vinayak’s Huns Pictures. The film had a cast of Ratnaprabha, Chandra Mohan, Ashalata, Mandhare, Vinayak, Rajni and others. Music Director was Debutante Dhamman Khan, assisted by the veteran Dada Chandekar. Dhamman Khan was one of those giants of classical music who had developed an urge (call it itch) to try their hand at composing film music,do a film or two and return to their own comfort zone again.
Some such other examples are Bhurji khan(Kurukshetra-33), Ameer saab(Nirdosh abla-35), Nawab Khan(Mirza sahiban-35) Wamanrao Sadolikar(Naganand-35…this is C.Ramchandra’s First film as a Hero. The film ran for just ONE day !),Abdul Kareem Khan (Maut ka Toofan-35 and Voh kaun-35), Master Giyasuddin (Typist girl-35) etc etc.

Today’s song is from an old film, Duniya Kya Hai-1938.

Hindi film Industry is not only a ” Maya Nagari”, but also a “Jadoo Nagari”. You will find that unimaginable contrasts keep on happening here. You will find that a very beautiful, talented and famous actress like Meena Shorey (La Ra Rappa fame) was an absolute uneducated and illiterate person. She could neither read nor even sign herself. Due to this, she blindly put her thumb on the service contract made by Sohrab Modi and was on the verge of spoiling her career. It was her luck that Mehtab Helped her and on the payment of only Rs. 30,000 (instead of 60000, asked by Sohrab Modi) she got the restrictive and unjust contract cancelled. A similar case was of the singer Sitara Kanpuri, who did the same mistake with W.Z.Ahmed of Shalimar Pictures. It was only when Ahmed migrated to Pakistan in 1947, she got her freedom to sing anywhere.

Today, the 3rd of July is the 72nd birthday of Amit Kumar Ganguly, popularly known as Amit Kumar. Amit Kumar is the son of Kishore Kumar and Ruma Ganguly. Like his father, Amit started singing from an early age and he used to sing at Durga Pooja festivals in Calcutta. At one such function arranged by Bengali actor “Mahanayak” Uttam Kumar, the audience continued requesting encores. While his mother complained that he was singing “filmy” songs, his father decided to bring him to Bombay.

Today’s song is a duet from an 85 year old comedy film-Ladies Only-1939.

This film was made by Sagar Movietone. Sagar came up very fast in the film industry and then it got eclipsed also very fast within about 10 years. Starting with Sagar Film Company, it made 12 silent films. Its first Talkie film was Veer Abhimanyu in 1931. By 1940 , Sagar had made 52 Hindi films, 5 Tamil films, 4 Gujarati films, 3 Telugu films and 1 each in Punjabi and Bengali languages. Then it merged with National Studios and made 16 films under this banner.

Today’s song is from a social film “Pyaas”-1941.

Films with the title “Pyaas” were made in 1941, 1968 and 1982. Interestingly, there were 45 films having the word ‘ Pyas/Pyasa/Pyasi’ in its title as the first word. I always advocate that when a film is mentioned, for whatever reason, it is absolutely necessary that its year is also mentioned along with the title of the film. In Hindi films, it is a common phenomenon that many films with similar titles are produced in different years. I have quoted many times that a film titled ” Insaf” was produced 7 times in different years. Like the ‘ Same Name Confusion ‘ of film actors, a film itself can be a victim of ‘Same Title Confusion’ if the specific year is not mentioned.
