#the Decade of Thirties – 1931 – 1940 #
————————————————————————
(Debutant Movie-‘Double Cross-1938’)
Today I am presenting a song from a movie of 1938. Regulars on this blog will be surprised to see a write-up from me presenting a song from a movie which is around eighty-seven years old. I have been sharing older songs but this must be the oldest of them. I had come across this song more than a year back.
This song is from the movie ‘Double Cross’ from the year 1938. Most of us are aware of the movie titled ‘Double Cross-1977’. This movie of 1977 has a song that is part of my childhood and I had shared that song on this blog. Adding songs from movies with same title is one of my missions, and that is the reason for this post as well. With this post ‘Double Cross’ of 1938 joins the ‘Double Cross’ of ‘1977 🙂 on the blog.
“Double Cross-1938” was directed by M. Bhawnani for ‘Bhawnani Productions, Bombay’. M. Bhawnani was also the story writer of this movie. The cast of this movie had Bimla Kumari, S.B. Nayampalli, Faity (Fatty?) Prasad, Ameena, David, Kishore, A.S. Gyani, R. Dilawar, Master Hussain, Rai Mohan and others. This movie has eight songs as listed in Geet Kosh Vol-I (1931-1940). However the lyricists name is not known for this movie. Music for this movie was composed by Pt Badri Prasad and Walter Coffman was the ‘orchestra organizer’(as mentioned in Geet Kosh). Singer’s names for all the eight songs are mentioned in Geet Kosh. They are Gauhar (Bikaner), Bimla Kumari, Bashir Qawwaal, Faity Prasad, and Ameena.
It will be interesting to know if all songs from this movie can be located. So far, only this song is available. It is a duet song and one of the oldest example of a ‘nok-jhonk’ song.
Let us now listen to this song. The man likens himself to vegetables and likens his sweetheart to sweets. 🙂 Faity Prasad and Ameena are the singers of this song. Lyricist is not known whereas music is composed by Pt Badri Prasad.
I was not able to note correct words at some places.I would request knowledgeable readers to kindly suggest the correct words at those places.
Only audio of the song is available. Seeing that the singers had also acted in the movie, one can guess that the song was picturised on themselves in the movie.
With this song, let us welcome ‘Double Cross-1938’ on this blog !!!

Some years ago, I did start to write post of some colourful songs, shot outdoors. There are so many of them in hindi films, especially in colour movies, that they are countless. I have a weakness for scenic waterfalls, mountains, lakes, snow peaks, rivers, huge trees etc.
Today, I have dropped two posts in preparation, as I realized belatedly that they are posted. One had Dharmendra and other had Vinod Mehra, incidentally, singing Rafi solos, in Kashmir.
In my posts of the song “Jiya Jiya Re” (Jab Tak hai Jaan) I have mentioned that there must be reels and reels of footage shot of mountains, rivers of naturally beautiful locations in Kashmir, which were not used. For photographers would not be able to resist. In fact in one of the songs mentioned above, they had used shot visuals in the song, without the actors actually going there and shooting for the song. The shots looked like amalgamated with the actors singing in greenery.

Today’s song is from an exceptional Hindi Horror film – House No. 13..1991.
When you say Horror film, only one name comes to mind prominently and that is Ramsay Brothers. They became famous for making C grade horror films, for the C grade audience. The quality of their horror films was not worth discussing, nevertheless, they did good business. Not that such attempts were not made earlier by anybody else. But Overall, Horror films in Hindi Did not have the class it attained in horror films made in western world, especially Hollywood. Even Master Bhagwan had tried his hand at making a horror film – Bhedi Bangla-1949.
Today’s film was made by DVF Investments, Madras. It was completely shot in the Vauhini Studios of madras Actually the film was a remake of the hit Tamil film ” Pathimoonam Number Veedu”-1990. When I saw the credits of the Tamil film, I was surprised that it was directed by Baby, the screenplay was by Baby and the story was also by Baby. We are not used to seeing such confusing names. Not knowing if this ‘Baby’ was a Male or a Female, I found that the full name was A.G.Baby and HE was a well known director of offbeat Tamil films. The producer was G.A.Sheshgiri Rao. This film was released in theatres on 16-8-1991.

This movie’s story happens on a cruise ship. Cruise ship travel is still out of affordability area for the common people in India. I do not know anyone who does this type of travel or holidays. The way of life involving Yachts, Marinas and Cruise ships is very foreign to India. I saw one cruise ship in Liverpool. I saw some people who were from that ship roaming around the harbour area, with the Beatles museum, and the eateries, a very ordinary boat ride around the inner harbour/backwaters. They stood out as they were not casual tourists. At least I thought so, as I pride myself on my powers of observation and differentiation.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 8
The film “Dil Se” released in 1998, and by this time A. R. Rehman, has revolutionized the Hindi film music. With the south Indian flavour to his compositions, with various talented singers from the region were flooding the hindi film music world. Mostly his films would be originally made in Tamil, Telegu or Malayalam, and later remade in hindi or sometimes just dubbed in hindi.
His music and rerecording the songs in hindi required, rewriting the lyrics in hindi/urdu to mean and sound the same in hindi films. It was a difficult task for lyricists like Mehboob and later on Gulzar to retain the meaning and spirit of the earlier songs, while converting them for the larger hindi film audience.
