Today’s song is from the film Aahuti-1950.
This unknown film was made by Sansar Movietone, Bombay. Produced by L.Shankar, it was directed by Kulbhushan. The story, screenplay and the dialogues were by a team of H.C.Jaiswal, G.Saran and L.Shankar. The music for the 12 songs of the film was given by D.C.Dutt. There is not much information available about D.C.Dutta, not even what the initials D.C. stand for.
All of us know that Lata Mangeshkar had to struggle very hard in her initial attempts to get into Playback singing in Hindi films. In her early struggle, 3 Duttas helped her. The first was of course Datta Davjekar who gave her the first opportunity to sing a Playback song for his film Aapki sewa mein-1947. The second was K.Datta or Datta Korgaonkar, who, after his favourite singer Noorjehan left India, took Lata under his wings and gave her songs. The third Dutta was this-D.C.Dutt. No information is available about him whatsoever, except what is printed in HFGK and its duplication in Pankaj Raag’s book “Dhunon ki Yatra”. Thanks to this, we know that his debut was through the film Sona Chandi-1946. Out of 12 songs of the film, only two were his and one of them was by Lata Mangeshkar.

Today’s song is from a C grade Costume film ‘ Taj aur Talwar’-1956.
1956 was the Silver Jubilee year of Indian Talkie Films. This year, the most successful films were entertainers. There were of course some films carrying social messages. One of them was ‘Jaagte Raho’ (‘Ek Din Ratre’ in Bangla), which tried to bring out the upper middle class hypocrisy in a metro city like Bombay. Initially, the film did not make any ripples, but after it won International awards, it became very popular. (People of other nations have to tell us that our film is good !). A social message, excellent music and solid story – the hallmarks of an RK film were all there in it.
Then, the film ‘Ek Hi Raasta’ tackled the issue of widow re-marriage and acceptance of a new father by the child. Comedy entertainer ‘Nai Dilli’ emphasized the need for inter language marriages in India. Satyajit Ray’s ‘Aparajita’- the sequel to ‘Pather Panchali’ (1955), hit the screens in India after winning accolades internationally.

Today’s song is from the film Usha Kiran-1952.
In the month of September-2014, I had started a series on this Blog, titled “songs from Artists’ name films”. It ran from 18-9-2014 to 8-10-2014. I covered 10 films like Madhubala-1950, Nargis-1946, Veena-1948, Renuka-1947, Madhuri-1932, Hurricane hansa-1937, Zubeida-2001, Kamla-1946 and Asha-1948. When I came to the 10th and the last film Usha Kiran-1952, I realised that actress Usha Kiran was not in the cast of that film. In all other films, then discussed, the titled actress was in its cast. I was shocked. Nevertheless, I wrote the article and sent it for posting. But then on, I became alert and checked all the films selected for any series, fully and carefully.
