Today’s song is from the film Ek Roz-1947.
How many readers will know that a record number of films were made in 1947 in Hindi till then ? 181 Films ! It took another almost 40 years to cross this number. In the year 1985, the number of films made was 185.
Why was it that in 1947 alone such a high number of Hindi films were made ? The answer is – Partition of India in 1947 and the subsequent migration of Muslim film artistes to the newly created nation on the basis of Religion – Pakistan. Partition of India was the biggest blow to India, which had remained One Nation for thousands of years, despite having many religions thriving in it. Anyway, that is not the topic here.
Once the date for Partition was announced on 3rd June 1947, after Lord Mountbatten took charge as the Viceroy of India on 24-3-1947 the entire country was shaken. In the film industry actors, directros, MDs and the technical staff, who wanted to migrate started finishing their assignments here. The financers wanted to finish their films before Partition. All this led to a flurry of activities in 1947 and more and more films were completed hurriedly. Thus the record number of films was achieved in 1947. All this at the cost of quality of course. Most or rather many films made in 1947 remained obscure, unheard of and many flopped due to poor quality. Actually only few films were released in 1947, because many films were released in 1948 and 1949, with some films being released in Pakistan too.
Did you ever hear about films Amar Asha, Angoorbala, Attention, Barrister, But Tarash, Chalte Chalte, Chandrahas, Dagabaz Dost, Dehati,Ek kadam,Gaurav,Giribala, Heera, Intezar ke baad, Jhalak,Jurmana, Khaufnak aankhen, Lalaat, Mangalsutra, Moti, Sewa gram, Stage girl, Tohfa or Utho jago ? Of course not all films were below standards. Some of the landmark films were also made in 1947, like Shehnai, Mirza Sahiban, Jugnu, Saajan, Naatak, Meera, Elan,Aap ki sewa mein, Dard, Do Bhai, Neel Kamal or Parwana etc. However by and large the picture was like this only.
Film Ek Roz was a film about twin sisters. Twins are a very popular subject in Hindi films, especially the Twins separated in childhood. Innumerable films are made in almost all languages in India. These ‘ Lost and Found’ stories are very popular. The first Talkie film on twins was ” Awara Shehzada” made in 1933. Young Shahu Modak had done the roles of a Prince and a ZPauper. This was also Master Vithal’s first film as a director. Another notable twin sister story was in the film ‘Muqabala’-1942, in which Fearless Nadia did the role of twin sisters. By the way, she did these roles in which one sister was shown as a typical Indian home-made, obedient and sanskari girl. It was great fun to see Nadia in a Saree, trying very hard to mouth pure Hindi dialogues and dressed as an Indian girl, with Teeka, bangles and pleated hair etc ! One more old film having separated twins was “Chandralekha”-1948, featuring actor Ranjan. Then came a deluge of such films like Ram aur Shyam, seeta aur Geeta, Chaalbaz etc. Man Mohan Desai added fuel to this fire successfully !
Film Ek Roz-1947 was directed by Daud Chand. His name is not known to most people, as his work in India was much less than what he achieved in Pakistan. This was his last film in India,m though one of his earlier delayed films Papiha Re was released only in 1948. Dawood Chand was a prominent film director of 1930’s & 1940’s of Indian cinema. He directed Veer Kesari (1938), Joshe-e-Islam (1939), Sipahee (1941), Jangee jawan (1943), Paraey Bas main (1946), Aaarsee and Aik roze (1947) and Papiha Re-48.
In Pakistan he was director of the first ever released Pakistani film Teri Yaad (1948). Some of his others films were Hichkoley, Mundri (1949), Sassi (1954), Bulbul (1955), Mirza Sahebaan and Hatim (1956), Muraad (1957), Aalam ara (1959), Sapairan (1961), Khyber Pass and Ghazala (1963), Reshma (1970), and Bahadra (1973).RAZA MIR (Producer/Director).
He acted in Indian film Shaher say door (1946) but in Pakistan he chose another profession. He was first Pakistani film Teri yaad’s cinematographer and director of super hit films Lakho mai aik. He also directed some other films like Baiti (1964), Lakhon main aik (1967), Aaasra and Aneela (1969), Parai aag (1971), Naag muni, Vicharya saathi (1973), Professor and Arzoo (1975) Sohni mahiwal (1976) and Dil keey daagh (1978). Asif Raza Mir, film hero of late 1970’s and early 1980’s and a good TV artist is his son. He died on 24-5-1975 at Lahore, Pakistan.
The cast of the film was Al Nasir, Nasreen ( she was the daughter of Rafiq Ghaznavi and actress Anwari. Her name was Zareena Agha, but she worked in the films Shahjehan 1946 and Ek Roz-1947 as Nasreen. Then she settled in London with her husband. Singer actress Salma Agha was her daughter), Asha Posley, Ajmal, Zubeida (jr.) and many others.
There were many actresses with the name Asha. Like the most famous Asha Parekh, not so famous Asha Mathur or Asha Sachdev and in the early era, there was Ashalata ( wife of Anil Biswas), and Marathi actress Asha Wabgaonkar too did few Hindi films. Have you heard of Asha Bhosle ? What a stupid question ! Of course you have heard her name, but she is a singer. OK, then, have you heard the name of ASHA POSLEY who worked in the film Ek Roz-1947 ?
No. I am not joking. There WAS an actress by this name ASHA POSLEY, in the 40s in India and in the period 50s to 80s in Pakistan. Her name has become immortal in the history of Pakistani Films, as the First Heroine of Pakistani film ” Teri Yaad”-1948.
She was born as Sabira Begum on 31-5-1927 at Patiala, Punjab. Her father MD Inayat Ali Nath was working with HMV at Delhi. Sabira was formally trained by experts in music and singing. When her father shifted to Lahore, she was offered a contract by Roop K Shorey, who made films in Lahore those days. It was the popular Composer Ghulam Haider who gave her the screen name of ASHA POSLEY.
Her first film was Punjabi film Govandi-1942 which launched the handsome Hero Shyam. Her role in the film was a minor one. She started as a supporting actress. She got a major role in the film Champa-1945 and her first film as a Heroine was Kamli-46-a Punjabi film. Then came Badnami-46,in which Geeta Bali had a small role. Her other Indian films were Paraye bas mein-46. In the film Arsi-47,her hero was Pran and Meena Shorey had also acted in it. Kamla-46, Aai Bahar-46, Pagdandi-47, Ek Roz-47,Barsaat ki ek raat-48, Papeeha Re-48 and Roop Rekha-48. She worked in 11 Hindi films and sang 1 song in the film Pagdandi-47.
After Partition, she opted for Pakistan and migrated along with her father. The Lahore film industry was in a disarray, because most producers, financiers and leading artistes had shifted to India. However a Hindu producer named Dewan Sardari Lall had stayed back in Lahore and he started a new film in Independent Pakistan ” Teri Yaad “. There were 2 other films under production at the same time. Actually, the first film of Pakistan was Director Luqmaan’s ” Shahida “,which had started shooting immediately after Partition, but it got delayed and finally was released only in 1949. The second film was ” Jihad ” by Zahoor Raja, which too got stuck and was released only in 1950.
Thus the actual Third film, “Teri Yaad ” starring Nasir Khan ( brother of actor Dilip Kumar, who migrated to Pakistan with high hopes but had to return to India as there was no work and also due to ” other ” reasons) and Asha Posley in the lead was completed by Dewan Pictures and became the FIRST released Pakistani Film in 1948 itself. It was released in Prabhat Theatre in Lahore, on the day of EID-7-8-1948. The film was directed by Dawood Chaand and music was by Inayat Ali Nath (father of the Heroine Asha Posley). She sang 4 songs in it. The film was a resounding FLOP.
Asha Posley did Heroine’s role only in 4 Pakistani films and then she turned to supporting, comedy and vamp roles. She acted in 129 films, 76 Urdu and 53 Punjabi films. Her last film was Insaaf-1986. She acted in films, on stage, on TV and also sang on Radio. Famous Pak singer Kausar Parveen, actress Rani Kiran and TV actress Najma Begum were her sisters. Like many migrated artistes, even Asha Posley spent her last days in penury and anonymity. She died on 26-3-1998 at Lahore.
With today’s song, the film Ek Roz-1947 becomes YIPPEED, with all its songs covered here.

“Idgaah” is a timeless classic penned by Munshi Premchand (31 july 1880-8 october 1936). This is the story of Hamid, a seven year old boy whose parents are no longer alive and he is brought up by his grandmother. On the festival day of Eid, he goes to Eid mela with his friends. While other kids buy themselves candies and toysHamid, thinking of his grandmother, buys a pair of tongs to help her make rotis, since she burns her hands trying to cook them bare-handed.
This moving tale was written by Munshi Premchand during his stay at Gorakhpur between 1916 to 1921, though the story itself could be published in 1933. The story, like many stories of Premchand, became a classic. It is a story that people, including children, can easily identify with. This story was there in my Hindi text book (class 7, I think). This story continues to be there in Indian school text books. I gather that even other regional language text books in India include this story.
TV serials came to India in 1980s, Premchand’s stories were telecast on Doordarshan in 1990s in a series called “Tehreer- Munshi Premchand Ki”.
This story too was telecast as part of this series.
The place in Gorakhpur where Munshi Premchand used to stay is today known as Premchand Park. In its rear is a famous Mazaar called Mubarak Khan Shaheed ki mazaar. There is an idgaah in front of this mazaar. Munshi Premchand used to be a regular visitor to this mazaar and he used to spend hours there.
A mela is held near this Idgaah during Eid. Munshi Premchand got the idea for his story of “Idgaah” from this particular idgaah located near his residence.
This time, there is a lockout due to coronavirus, not just in Gorakhpur, but also in India and for that matter in the entire world. It is also quite a coincidence that a similar pandemic of Spanish flue had take place in India (including Gorakhpur) from 1918 to 1919 when Munshi Premchand was in Gorakhpur. Some parts of Gorakhpur (namely Railway area called kawwaabaagh) was quarantined during those days when one person was infected with Spanish flu.
This time there will be social distancing in this famous idgaah and very few people will attend the namaaz during Eid. And there will be no mela this time.
Here is a song from Shamshad Begam on the occasion. It is a non film devotional song. One could imagine Hamid’s daadi singing this naat to her grandson on this occasion.
I have not been able to get a few words right in the lyrics. I request our knowledgeable readers to help fill in the blanks / suggest corrections as applicable.
I am not aware about the details of this song vis a vis lyricist and music director etc. I request our knowledgeable readers to fill in the details of this song.
On this occasion, I extend greetings of Eid Mubaarak to one and all. On this occasion, Let us savour this divine devotional song is the voice of Shamshad Begam.

Song-Ramzaan ka maheena bada barkaton ka hai (Shamshad Begam NFS)(1960) Singer-Shamshad Begam
Lyrics
paighaam mominon ke liye ae ae
paighaam mominon ke liye rahmaton ka hai
Ramzaan ka maheena bada barkaton ka hai
Ramzaan ka maheena bada barkaton ka hai
Jisko namaaz e roze ka armaan ho gaya
us par khudaay e paak meharbaan ho gaya
Ramzaan aaya qaid mein shaitaan aa gaya
naazil isi maheene se Quraan ho gaya
zyaada azeez rakhte thhe Ramzaan ko rasool
hoti hai is maheene mein har ik dua qubool
Ramzaan ka maheena bada barkaton ka hai
paighaam mominon ke liye rahmaton ka hai
utre hain is maheene mein taurait aur zaboor
naazil hui hai Issa pe injeel bhi zaroor
khwaab e gumaan hain is mein shab e qadr ka zahoor
momin ne is maheene mein paaya khuda ka noor
waajib hai har ameer pe Sadqaa adaa kare
daaman gul e ummeed se mohtaaj ka bhare
Ramzaan ka maheena bada barkaton ka hai
paighaam mominon ke liye rahmaton ka hai
is maah mein hi paida huye ghause nek naam
Ramzaan ka kiya hai unhone ye ehteraam
hargiz piya na doodh kabhi din mein maa salaam
bachpan mein hi huzoor ne roze rakhe tamaam
roza nazar ka noor hai dil ki ummeed hai
Ramzaan mominon ke liye goyaa eid hai
Ramzaan ka maheena bada barkaton ka hai
paighaam mominon ke liye rahmaton ka hai
Ramzaan ka maheena bada barkaton ka hai
har rozaadaar hashr ke din muskuraayega
deedaar e haq jamaal nabi ka wo paayega
dozakh ki aag se usey roza bachaayegaa
rahmat usey nawaazegi jannat mein jaayega
jo rozaadaar hai yahaan wo kaamyaab hai
iftaar bhi karaane ka behad sawaab hai
Ramzaan ka maheena bada barkaton ka hai
paighaam mominon ke liye rahmaton ka hai
karta hai roza deen mein duniya mein sarfaraaz
hai humpe farz roza rakhen aur padhen namaaz
har waqt nek kaam karen ban ke paakbaaz
har ghamzada ko kar den museebat se beniyaaz
majboor aur ghareebon ki khidmat kiya karen
jitni bhi ho khuda ki ibaadat kiya karen
Ramzaan ka maheena bada barkaton ka hai
paighaam mominon ke liye rahmaton ka hai
insaan nekiyon mein hamesha laga rahe
daaman gunaah o jurm se hardam bacha rahe
jaari dilon mein har ghadi hamd-o-sanaa rahe
har waqt lab pe zikr e habeeb e khuda rahe
Ramzaan rahmaton ka maheena hai mominon
Allah tak pahunchne ka zeena hai mominon
Ramzaan ka maheena bada barkaton ka hai
paighaam mominon ke liye rahmaton ka hai
Ramzaan ka maheena bada barkaton ka hai

98 years ago, this day, was born this exceptional artist – Hemant Kumar. A singing voice that is remembered and cherished for it depth and softness. His versatility with the lower octaves is a measure of wonder. And a pleasure to listen to the songs sung by him.
I was checking online today for news and articles on the occasion of his birth anniversary. I found some – new and less recent. What amazes me is the shallowness of research effort that people put into such endeavours. All articles talk about the beginning of his career in Hindi films – ‘Jaal’ (1952) and SD Burman’s “Ye Raat Ye Chandni Phir Kahaan” as a singer; and as a music director – “Nagin” (1954). One article, based on an interview with him, at least gets to the correct debut as a music director – ‘Anand Math’ (1952). But as a singer, the complete period of 1945 to 1951 is completely overlooked.
Not too many songs to list for this part of his career, but at least the correct information needs to be investigated and presented. His debut Hindi film as a singer is ‘Iraada’ from 1945. For the next 5 to 6 years, he is on record as having sung 2 to 3 songs per year, before reaching the early 1950s, and getting the popular acknowledgement.
For today’s remembrance, I present this wonderful song from the film ‘Banphool’ of 1945. The lyrics of this song are written by Narendra Nath Tuli and the music composition is by Dhiren Mitra. This song is a kind of ‘naat’ in the honor of the Almighty, telling about his qualities as a benevolent Master, and as an unforgiving Judge who would impartially impart justice for both the good and the bad deeds. The mukhda (title line) of this song is an exhortation to revere Him and to connect with Him in love and submission, for He is the true benefactor.
लगा उस से लौ तू
मददगार है वो
On this Holy day of Eid celebration, I present this song in the honor of the Almighty, who is essentially the Father figure for this entire creation. Praise Be Upon Him.
And wishing a very Happy Eid to all friends and readers.
Aameen.

July 18th is an important date in the life of atulsongaday.me. Actually it marks the eve of the birth of the blog itself. I wonder what must have been Atul ji’s sphere of activity on the day prior to this date in the year 2008 when the blog was launched. Last year on this date we were on a countdown to reach our song number 10,000. With this post, we stand at 11,295.

Hearty greetings to all friends and readers for the gracious festival of Id today.
The days of fasting and penance have ended, and now comes the grand celebration of Id. Today is the first day of the month of Shawwal. Today is the day when festive spirit is at its most cheerful, the attire of the people is the finest, and more than anything, the bonhomie and the bonds of friendship are at their best. It is the time to leave behind any differences and the memories of any past offenses, to forgive and to forget the resentments. As the lines of this celebratory song emphasize,
ye wo din hai ke hans hans kar giley shiqwe bhula dena
agar dushman bhi aa jaaye to ye keh kar manaa lena
id ki shaam hai
Today is the day to forget the resentments with a smile
Even if an enemy comes face to face
Give a hug and reconcile, and say
It is the day of Id today

Id Mubaarak, to all dear friends and visitors.
The trials and penance of the fasting month, Ramzan come to an end and it is the day to celebrate with happiness. A day of joy, to celebrate with family, and friends. It is a day to greet even the strangers that one meets. A day of fresh new attire, a day of favorite savories, a day of family get togethers, leisure time with friends, shopping ventures, exchange of gifts, and yes, ‘idee’ for the children. (‘Idee’ is the gift that the children received from elders today, when they meet them and pay their respects. It is a token, presented in cash or kind.)

EID MUBARAK to all our readers, wherever they are on this Globe. Today is a Happy day for the celebrations.
Having grown up in HYDERABAD-the Muslim state of the Nizam- in the 40s,( Hyderabad was annexed to India in 1948,after Patel’s ‘Police Action’), I have very fond memories of Eid. Though Hyderabad merged with India, It was an independent state till 1-11-1956, therefore the Muslim customs, manners, festivals, education and Eating habits continued to have a major influence on Hyderabad public. (In Nov 1956, Hyderabad was Trifurcated. 5 districts of Marathwada merged with Bombay state, 3 Kannada speaking districts merged with Karnataka and remaining 8 Telugu speaking districts merged into the newly formed Andhra Pradesh.( and again now these 8 districts are separating from Andhra Pradesh to form Telangana State !).
