#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————

Regulars on the blog are aware that, besides being music-lovers and Hindi movie buff, many of the blog members also love ‘cricket’ and ‘rail/train’, or if I am not wrong especially the ‘Indian Railways’.

Travelling by train is something which is always interesting. Most of us enjoy and love it. It brings back many memories from our childhood days too.

From 2017 to 2019 when I was in Kenya for a project, I badly missed train travel. The place where I stayed for almost nine months in Nairobi had a rail track passing behind my residential place that reminded me of our Indian trains every time a train passed by.

When I returned back to India after finishing the project I was supposed to visit close relatives residing in Maharashtra. I needed to visit other places too. I reached back in India in Dec’2019 end and before I could make plans for any visits, ‘pandemic’ arrived. The best plans of everyone came to a halt.

I had an an pportuniy to visit Mumbai in Feb’2020 when I had also booked a ticket, but due to some minor operation I had to ‘cancel’ it.

ye duniya ki rail musaafir
ye duniya ki rail musaafir
chhak chhak chalti jaaye re
pal pal aage badhhti jaaye ae
aage badhhti jaaye ae

Life moves on. The wheels of time keep ‘moving ahead’ as well.

As the effects of pandemic waned and the restrictions were lifted we had our elder daughter’s marriage in March’2022 at Vadodara. Most of our close relatives visited us and thus the long awaited get-together with relatives finally took place.

However, I keep longing to travel. Travelling became possible in April’2022 when I and my wife travelled to Nagpur to attend a marriage. I was working then and had got only two days leave so we had to return back immediately.

But this train travel after a long gap was still enjoyable though the railways had not started providing the ‘linens’ in the AC coaches till then.

saanson ki patri par bhaage
raah chale naa aadi
ismen lagey kismat ke pahiye
chal jaaye to gaadi baba

Finally I got this long vacation this year since 01st January’2023. My last contract with the employer ended on 31st Dec’2022, so I was a ‘free bird’ again.

We were already planning to travel to Nagpur and Parli Vaijnath in Maharashtra to meet in-laws, my mother at Parli, and other relatives. But in an unfortunate development my father in law had to be admitted to a Hospital in Nagpur and we had to rush there. That is how we travelled to Nagpur in Feb’2023 end. After alighting at Ajani Station (one station before Nagpur junction), we directly visited the Hospital where my father in law was admitted. After visiting him we went to their place which was our base station for the next 8/10 days.

My father in law got discharged from the hospital the next day so he was back at home and everybody was happy. My wife was happy and she took care of her father for his medicines, diet etc. till we were there.

Meanwhile I travelled to Amravati by road-with a friend from Nagpur- to meet our common friend who was with us in Kenya. This long awaited meeting was also happening after a long gap of more than three years.

Thereafter, I and my wife travelled to Chandrapur by bus to meet my maternal relatives and then back to Nagpur. This meeting also happened after a long gap of almost seven years (last we visited them when we were staying at Nagpur).

We visited some more relatives (including my cousins) staying in Nagpur and around (Koradi), and left for Parli-Vaijnath by a private travel bus. At Parli-Vaijnath we meet my mother, my younger brother and his family and stayed there for two days. From there we left by train for Shegaon via Akola.

We had to wait around half an hour at Akola station to board the next train for Shegaon. We stayed at Shegaon after visiting the holy place there and next morning started for Vadodara by train again.

So, after a fifteen days tour we arrived back at Vadodara. Meanwhile our younger daughter also travelled to Pune with her friends and she also reached arrived back at Vadodara the same day. We received her at the railway station as her train from Pune was supposed to arrive forty-five minutes after the arrival of our train.

All of us arrived back home after enjoyable journeys.

After a gap of two weeks we again travelled to Rajkot for my younger daughter’s project there and also to visit our elder daughter. After staying a Rajkot for a day we come back to Vadodara by train. Earlier we used to travel by our car to and fro, but this time we took a Volvo bus by state transport to go to Rajkot and we travelled by train in the return direction.

A trip to Kachchh was already overdue for me since 2019-20 for transfer of house to other owner there. (During this period my younger brother staying had visited us thrice including his visit for my daughter’s marriage).
This time I travelled alone by train to Gandhidham and took the ST bus for Mundra. That revived my memories of up/down travels when I was working near Adipur. This visit too was just for one day. I returned back the same day by means of a private transport service.

A pre-planned trip towards the North was already due as per schedule on April 11th.

Meanwhile, 24th March marked the third anniversary of ‘lock down in India’. Even a movie narrating the ‘lock down experiences/stories’ was released on that day, but it disappeared soon like it was never released. May be people were not interested to revisit those ‘horrifying sad stories and the struggle during the pandemic or lock down period’. This movie was also released on 24th March’2023.

While we were preparing for our next tour the news of ‘corona cases surfacing again’ had started doing the rounds.

We started our journey on 11th April for Pathankot by SVDK Exp. This was the first time that we had ‘planned’ a ‘vacation trip’ other than the visits we often took during summer vacations to visit our relatives in Maharashtra.

In this visit we were accompanied by the family of one of my friends. Examinations of their children had finished and so they wanted to travel. So they had requested us to accompany them.
This friend of mine had passed away due to cancer in 2012. He was one of my best friends whom I befriended in Kachchh. I named these three friends as my ‘3 idiots’. So this one ‘idiot’ left us too early at an young age. We were missing him a lot.

We were supposed to reach our destination i.e. Pathankot on 12th afternoon. But on the morning of 12th as we were still travelling there was a call from my brother-in-law from Nagpur that my father in law had left for his heavenly abode early morning. My wife was inconsolable and somehow we managed to calm her saying that we shall take a decision after reaching Pathankot or Dalhousie, where we had to stay. We were in a fix as we could not leave the other members i.e. my friend’s family alone.

After reaching Banikhet near Dalhousie from Pathankot we were informed that the funeral of my father in law had to be done the same day and it was not possible for us in any case to reach Nagpur to attend it. So finally we decided to go to Nagpur later for other rituals. The only consolation for us was that the we had met him in Feb-end and early March and our stay with him for a week at Nagpur, so the regret of not meeting him in recent past was not there..

We finished our trip to Dalhousie-Dharamshala-Amritsar and returned to Ahmedabad via Chandigarh on 17th.

As our tour was on many things were still happening around.

seth mahajan chor uchakke
is gaadi mein saath chaley
raat ko soye dhan loot jaaye
aur sawere haath maley
koyi bajaaye chain ki bansi
koyi neer bahaaye re
pal pal aage badhhti jaaye ae
aage badhhti jaaye ae

But the journey was on …

Ye duniyaa ki rail musaafir …

And, it always reminded us

is gaadi mein dekh naa pyaare
jaat paat ke phande ae
ek jagah par mil kar baithhe
sab bhagwaan ke bande baba
do din ka ye safar hai baba
mil jul kar kat jaaye re

***

My elder daughter arrived from Rajkot the next day and we all left for Nagpur on 19th April afternoon (by air this time). After attending all rituals there I and my wife stayed back at Nagpur while our daughters returned to Vadodara early on 22nd of April.

I with my wife travelled back by train again on 27th from Nagpur to Vadodara.

Meanwhile my younger daughter was detected with Covid-19 and she had to be self-quarantined. Now the elder daughter had to stay with her till we arrived back. The day we reach Vadodara, our elder daughter left for Rajkot.

Now there was a family function due at Rajkot on 2nd May. Only I could attend it, as my wife had to stay back with my younger daughter at home.

I travelled on 2nd morning by Volvo bus, attended the function in the afternoon, and arrived back on the same evening by train …

My younger daughter recovered fully from Covid after ten days and got fully fit.

5th May’2023 (News headline)…

“The head of the UN World Health Organization (WHO) has declared “with great hope” an end to COVID-19 as a public health emergency, stressing that it does not mean the disease is no longer a global threat.”

A cycle completed …

The song being covered in this post is from the movie “Sitaaraa-1955”. (this song was pending since ‘2018’).

It was directed by S.K. Ojha for ‘All India Pictures, Bombay’. P. N. Arora was the producer of this movie. It had Vaijayantimala, Pradeep Kumar, Shashikala, Om Prakash, Gope, Jayant, Beghampara, Pam Avtaar, Shyam Kumar, Amar, Helen, Mirza Musharraf, Protima Devi, Badri Prasad, Parasram, Munshi Munakka, Indira Bansal, T.N. Charlie and others.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 25.05.1955.

“Sitaaraa-1955” has eight songs. They were written by Shakeel Badayuni and music was composed by Ghulam Mohammad.

Five songs have already been posted earlier on the blog. Today I present the sixth song from this movie which is sung by Mohd Rafi.

Lyrics are by Shakeel Badayuni and music is composed by Ghulam Mohammad.

ये दुनिया की रेल मुसाफिर

दो दिन का ये सफ़र है बाबा

सेठ महाजन चोर उचक्के

रात को सोये धन लूट जाए

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Darindaa-1977)
——————————————-——————————————

“Darindaa-1977” was directed by Kaushal Bharati for ‘Bunty Enterprises, Bombay’. It was produced by M.S. Gulati. It had Sunil Dutt, Feroz Khan, Parveen Babi, Madan Puri, Bharat Bhushan, Raj Mehra, Shivraj, Mridula, Birbal, Sajjan and others. Premnath, Preeti Sapru, Komila Virk, Lily Chakravarti and Janaki Dass had special appearances in this movie.

Kaushal Bharati who had directed this movie was also the writer of this movie. Editing of this film was done by B.S. Glaad.

“Darindaa-1977”was passed by Censor Board on 24.11.1977.

This movie has five songs written by Indeevar and music was composed by Kalyanji-Anandji. Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Yesudas, Kanchan, Mukesh and Mohd Rafi had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

Here is the list of songs in this movie. (HFGK mentions total seven sound tracks for this movie which were released on its records. Out of these there were five songs, one music track and one dialogues’ track).

SNo. Song Title Singer/s Posted On
01 Aap ke gumsum rehne se har shai pe udaasi chhaayi hai Kishore Kumar
02 Ladki kaahe ko bani Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, chorus
03 Ho o …pyaar kar le, kar le pyaar gori Yesudas, Kanchan
04 Chaahe aaj mujhe naa pasand karo Mukesh 22.07.2017
05 Tu jo nahin koyi mera, mera koyi nahin Mohd Rafi
06 Music track
07 Dialogues track

I do not remember to have watched this movie and also I do not remember to have listened to the songs of this movie except the one that has been posted on the blog.

The song ‘chaahe aaj mujhe naa pasand karo’ sung by Mukesh has been presented on the blog by our Shri Raja Saab and it was posted on 22.07.2017.

Raja Saab had also watched this movie again (as he mentioned, for the above post) and had briefly mentioned about the story of this movie in his post which I am reproducing below.

Briefly, the story is how Sunil Dutt, separated as a poor young boy from his rich childhood friend, Parveen Babi, grows up as a yogi, supposedly to do good deeds.
But he has just one goal in mind – to find Parveen, and win her over. He searches everywhere for her – becoming a monster (Darinda) in the process, even killing women in his pursuit.
And when he finally does find her, she is engaged to be married to Feroze Khan. How he then reacts, what is Parveen’s reaction, what happens to Feroze?
– See the film if you want to find out. (There’s a bit of hint in this song too)

Today I present the second song from this movie which is sung by Yesudas and Kanchan. The song is lip-synced by Feroz Khan and Parveen Babi on screen. This is a romantic song between the two ‘lovers’ or ‘engaged couple’ 🙂 and shot on beautiful outdoor locations and a ‘sea-beach’. The pair of Feroz Khan and Parveen Babi looked beautiful in this song.

I had not heard this song earlier, but it is a nice hummable song and it grows upon us if we listen to it twice or thrice.

I guess that this movie must be a watchable movie given the ‘social drama’ and also I guess it must be having some powerful dialogues of Sunil Dutt.

We will ‘travel’ into this movie more in future… 🙂

Till then let us enjoy this duet in the special voices of Yesudas and Kanchan…

(Note- The video print of this song (and even the movie available on internet) is not much clear).

Lyrics are by Indeevar and music is composed by Kalyanji-Anandji.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————

I was not aware of this movie “Pyaar-1969”. I do not remember to have read about it or listened to its’ songs earlier. It is only now that through this blog and the Geet Kosh I become aware of this movie.

“Pyaar-1969” was directed by Pralhad Sharma for ‘Film Makers, Calcutta’. It had Soma Salkar, Sooraj, Sangeeta, Prem, Kavita, Shekhar, Alka, Jahar Rai, Baby Samli Rai, Pandit Natwar and others.

It seems that this must be an obscure movie of its time.

“Pyaar-1969” has six songs which were written by Pralhad Sharma who was also the director of this movie.

Music for this movie was composed by V. Balsara.

Here is the list of songs in this movie:-

SNo Song Title Singer/s Posted On
01 Akad ke kahaan chale meri jaan Mohd Rafi 13.03.2019
02 Yah thhandi hawaa yah rangeen samaa Chandrani Mukherjee, Mohd Rafi

04 Meri jaan na akad ya husn tera Aarti Mukherjee, Manna Dey
05 Aadhi raah saath mera chhodaa Mohd Rafi
06 Taa taa taa taa chubh gayaa kaantaa Aarti Mukherjee

“Pyaar-1969” made its debut on the blog on 13.03.2019 wherein a song from this movie was presented by our Shri Sudhir ji, and so far that remains the only song from this movie presented on the blog.

Today I present the second song from this movie which is sung by Aarti Mukherjee.

Let us listen to this song which is a ‘naagin’ and ‘sapera’ song. This song seems to be of lesser heard or never heard category of song. (I was listening to it for the first time).

Only audio of this song is available.

I would request knowledgeable readers to add more information about this movie and its songs.

“Surya Devta-1969” made its debut on the blog on 29.03.2019, wherein its’ song ‘o bedardi jaane de’ was presented by Shri Sudhir ji. I guess that the songs of this movie were not available those days. The song that was covered was also uploaded by Shri Sudhir ji. However, now, I could locate four songs of this movie on internet including the one already posted on the blog. That leaves us with two songs where the lyricist (I guess it should be Bharat Vyas) and singer is not known, that are unavailable even now.

Today I present the second song from this movie which is a ‘male-melancholic’ song sung by Mahendra Kapoor. From the lyrics we can guess that this guy has either been betrayed in love or lost his love to other person’. 🙂

Lyrics are by Madan and music is composed by Avinash Vyas.

Only audio of the song is available.

Let us listen to this song now…

Song-Pyaar ka dukh se bhara sansaar (Surya Devta)(1969) Singer-Mahendra Kapoor, Lyrics-Madan Mohan (lyricist), MD-Avinash Vyas

Lyrics

pyaar kaa dukh se bharaa sansaar
naa karnaa kabhi kisise pyaar
pyaar ik dhokhaa hai ae ae
pyaar ik dhokhaa hai
pyaar ik dhokhaa hai ae
pyaar kaa dukh se bharaa sansaar
naa karnaa kabhi kisise pyaar
pyaar ik dhokhaa hai ae ae
pyaar ik dhokhaa hai
pyaar ik dhokhaa hai ae

pyaar pe mat karnaa vishwas
pyaar har ghadi rulaataa hai
pyaar pe mat karnaa vishwas
pyaar har ghadi rulaataa hai
phool ki sejon ke badle
pyaar kaanton pe sulaataa hai
pyaar hai aansoo ka uphaar
bajaataa toote dil ke taar
pyaar ik dhokhaa hai ae ae
pyaar ik dhokhaa hai
pyaar ik dhokhaa hai ae

pyaar jab kartaa hai anyaay
samajh mein kuchh nahin aata hai
pyaar jab kartaa hai anyaay
samajh mein kuchh nahin aata hai
satya kaa galaa dabaa ke pyaar
jhoothh ko galey lagaataa hai
pyaar pe mat karnaa aitbaar
dubotaa kitnon ko manjhdhaar
pyaar ik dhokhaa hai ae
pyaar ik dhokhaa hai
pyaar ik dhokhaa hai ae

#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————

In this post I once again present a Geeta Dutt song, this time from the movie “Shri Ganesh Janma-1951”. I do not remember to have listened to this song earlier. Regulars on the blog are aware that I am a big Geeta Dutt fan. Whenever I get an opportunity to present a song sung by her I grab the opportunity with both hands and share that song here on the blog.

“Shri Ganesh Janma-1951” was a mythological movie directed by Jayant Desai. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 23.04.1951.

The cast of this movie included Nirupa Roy, Trilok Kapoor, Jeevan, Ulhas, Vasantrao Pahalwan, A. Shah, Shalini, Praveen Kumar, Master Dhuliya, Revashankar, Jugnu, Neerja, Neeru, Indira Mumtaz, Tiwari, Devchand More, Chhagan, Heera Singh, Nagotkar and others.

This movie has twelve songs all written by Bharat Vyas. Music for this movie was composed jointly by Khemchand Prakash and Manna Dey as mentioned in HFGK Vol-III (1951-1960).

Here is a brief about the songs of this movie that our respected Shri Arunkumar ji had mentioned in one of his posts while discussing earlier songs from this movie on the blog.

The film’s music was composed by Khemchand Prakash and Manna Dey together. There were 12 songs, but HFGK does not give individual credits for each song. Out of these 12 songs, not even a single song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar. In those days Lata usually avoided singing in Mythological films of B and C grades. Reason was, probably because the Producers of such films could not afford her price or maybe she was too busy with her assignments with more famous composers and bigger Banners. Such films were left for the second line singers like Asha, Geeta, Sulochana kadam, Sudha Malhotra and others of their ilk. A point to be noted, however, is that though a major singer of those times, Shamshad Begum never had qualms about singing in such films!

Following is the details of the two songs of this movie posted earlier on the blog.

S.No Song Title Singer/s Posted On
01 Shiv Shankar Daya Karo Geeta Dutt 14.02.2015
02 Naiyya paar lagaane waale Geeta Dutt, Manna Dey 21.08.2017

Today’s song is only the third song from this movie to be presented on the blog.

As mentioned above today’s song is sung by Geeta Dutt and lyrics are by Bharat Vyas.

Music is composed by Khemchand Prakash-Manna Dey.

(However, on the blog the credit for the music composer of the both the earlier songs posted is given to Manna Dey only, which I am not aware why?).

Today’s song is a nice song to listen to and is a ‘missing the beloved’ or ‘falling in love’ category songs.

Only the audio of this song is available.

Let us now enjoy the song …

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————

Out of the movies having ‘Zambo’/ ‘Zimbo’ in their title we have the following movies already represented on the blog.

SNo Title of the movie Year Director Date of passing by Censor Board
01 Zambo The Ape Man 1937 M. Bhavnani
02 Zambo Ka Beta 1939 M. Bhavnani
03 Zimbo 1958 Homi Wadia 24.06.1958
04 Zimbo Ki Beti 1959 S. Pal 07.11.1959
05 Zimbo Comes To Town 1960 Nanabhai Bhatt 01.07.1960
06 Zimbo Finds A Son 1966 John Cavas

The above information was also shared by our Shri Sudhir ji in his post of 05.01.2018 with a song from the movie ‘Zimbo Finds A Son-1966’.

However, I have added the name of the directors and date of passing by Censor Board of these movies (wherever available in Geet Kosh) in the above table.

In addition to the above movies one more movie in the ‘Zimbo’ series was made with the title ‘Zimbo’ in ‘1999’ which means after a gap of ‘thirty-three’ years from the ‘1966’ movie. This ‘1999’ movie was directed by Dilip Gulati and it was passed by Censor Board on 24.02.1999.

That was the update about the ‘Zambo’/ ‘Zimbo’ movies. 🙂

Today I present a ‘qawwali’ from the ‘1966’ movie ‘Zimbo Finds A Son’.

“Zimbo Finds A Son-1966” (alias “Zimbo Ka Beta”) was directed by John Cavas for ‘Basant Pictures’. It was produced by Homi Wadia and was ‘stunt’ genre movie.

It had Azad, Tabassum, Indira, Master Sachin (as Son of Zimbo), with Ape Bomb Pedro, featuring Sherry, Sundar, Rani, Prince Arjun, Dalpat, Raj Malik, Yunus, Bismilla, Mithhoo Miya, Korega, Yadav, Gaikwad, Babu, Samson, Ismail, Mohammad, and others.

Story and screenplay of “Zimbo Finds A Son-1966” was written by John Cavas. Dialogues for this movie were written by Brij Katyal.

Editing of this movie was done by Ram Lakhe.

Music for this movie was composed by Sapan-Jagmohan. This movie has five songs which were all written by Naqsh Lyallpuri.
Asha Bhonsle, Usha Mangeshkar, Mubarak Begam and Bhupinder Singh were the singers for the songs in this movie.

Here is the list of songs in this movie:-

SNo Song Title Singer/s Posted On
01 Catty catty neeli neeli meri aankhen Asha Bhonsle
02 Gun gun gaaun hawaa mein lehraaun Asha Bhonsle 05.01.2018
03 Meri jaan yoon hi raho zaraa ban-thhan ke Usha Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle
04 Ae dil tere muqaddar kaa aaj faislaa hogaa Mubarak Begam,Bhupinder Singh,chorus
05 Dil jiske liye betaab rahaa Asha Bhonsle

We can see from the above table that only one song from the movie has been posted on the blog.

Today I present the second song from this movie which is a ‘qawwali song’ as mentioned above. A ‘qawwali’ song is well overdue on the blog as the last one was posted on 12.05.2023 🙂

Today’s qawwali is sung by Bhupinder Singh and Mubarak Begam. We can see Sundar, Maqsood lipsyncing in the male voice and Rani and Tabassum lipsync in the female voice voice. We can also see Master Sachin in a ‘female get-up’ performing in this song.

Also present in the picturisation of this song are many actors and actresses viz. Azad, Dalpat, Samson (if I am not wrong) and others whom I am unable to identify.

Both audio and video of this song is available.

This again is ‘husn aur ishq’ or ‘male-female teasing’ type ‘qawwali’…

Enjoy the beautiful verses and enjoy the composition …

The tinsel town industry is a troubling mix of good and bad fortunes. All the zest and joy that we witness in front of the arc lights is a small part of this business. The larger part of mixed fortunes, career heartbreaks and un-celebrated talents is in the shadow world behind the arc lights. This world is invisible to the viewers because the glare of the arc lights does not allow a view into the darkness behind. For every success story that we celebrate, there are ten times more stories of despair and dejection.

Films once released, are a cultural heritage forever (of course subject to preservation and survival). But in my opinion it is the music and the song of the films that leaves a stronger and a more lasting impression on the minds of the film going and music listening audiences.

In the 90+ years of talkie film industry in India, close to a hundred thousand songs have been created, recorded, used in films and also released for consumption by the music lovers. Hundreds, maybe thousands of artists – music directors, musicians, lyricists, singers, sound recordists – have been associated with the envisioning and then the creation of the film songs. The sad part is that even the most involved and the most serious lovers of music, we remember just a handful of artists. It is not just a limitation of the human memory retention. It is also the fact that the industry itself, and the associated media, have over the years celebrated just those few handful artists, and neglected to pay attention to the others. And that is why I said above – “The tinsel town industry is a troubling mix of good and bad fortunes”.

Serious connoisseurs of this art form are well aware of the many names that should have, but never did make it to the top tier of the industry. This post touches upon one such unsung talent, whose creations indicate the presence of an enchanting mind at work behind the melodies. The name is C Arjun.

Arjun Parmanand Chandnani – born on 1st September 1933 in Karachi, had a natural affinity from music, inherited from his father who was a singer and a musician. At the time of partition in 1947, Arjun was just 14 years old. His family migrated from Karachi (now in Pakistan) to Baroda. He came to Bombay in the mid 1950s. Of course, the initial years was the time of struggle to prove himself. He worked with Bulo C Rani as assistant during this period.

In 1958, he got his first break as an independent music director when he composed for the Sindhi film ‘Abana’ (1958). The film and its music were a success with the Sindhi speaking population. The film has a wonderful song of Holi festival – “Holi Aayee Re Aayee Re Holi Holi”, and another fun song “Daal Chhola Double. . .” which became very popular as a sales pitch song of a rice-chhola meal seller. The song is available online and is a real fun listen, with Tuntun (aka Uma Devi) visible on screen with her antics.

Moving on, in 1960, he got another important break in his career, this time composing for the mainstream Hindi cinema. The film is ‘Road No. 303’. A low budget film, with lesser known stars, cannot be expected to be a box office victory. But the musical score – the songs are something to listen to – “Pehli Pehli Baar Miley Hain Do Deewaane, Achcha Ji” sung by Geeta Dutt and Rafi Sb, “Dil Ko Ye Kya Hua” in the voice of Asha ji, “Sun Lo Mehrban Mushkil Jeena Yahan” a wonderful creation in the voice of Geeta Dutt.

More work followed, although not in terms of any well known banner, or in terms of number of films. Averaging one film, or less, per year, nonetheless, he continued to give wonderful music no matter the films were all low budget. In 1961 came ‘Main Aur Mera Bhai’. More memorable songs– especially “Aaye Ho To Jaane Ka Bahaana Na Milega” sung by Asha ji. “Ho Gori Zulm Kare Zulf Ka Bikhar Jaana” in the voice of Rafi Sb, and the wonderful Asha – Mukesh duet “Main Abhi Gair Hoon”.

1964 was the year of the film ‘Punarmilan’. Most people would remember neither the film, not the associated credits. But tell them the song “Paas Baitho Tabiyat Behal Jaayegi” in the voice of Rafi Sb, and there will be an immediate recognition. This ghazal by Indiwar has become a timeless classic that stands along with the major filmi ghazal creations of all times. 1965 and we have the film ‘Ek Saal Pehle’ with the wonderful Asha Talat duet – “Nazar Utha Ke Ye Rangeen Samaa Rahe Na Rahe”; 1966 and we have another classic duet by Rafi Sb and Suman Kalyanpur – “Hamne Teri Jafaa Ka Wafaa Naam Rakh Diya” from the film ‘Chale Hain Sasural’. In 1966, we also heard the timeless popular Rafi-Talat duet “Gham Ki Andheri Raat Mein”  from film ‘Sushila’. The pattern continues with the films which one does not care to remember – ‘Lamboo In Hong Kong’ (1967), ‘Mangu Dada’ (1970), ‘Ustad Pedro’ (1971), ‘Guru Aur Chela’ (1973) – all relatively unknown films but all carrying gems of the genius of C Arjun.

And then, in 1975 came another low budget film that should also have been consigned to the list of unknowns, but it became a fluke and unexpected blockbuster hit – ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’. The success of the film may have brought some financial respite to the composer, but did not do any wonders to his career which continued to be in low budget bracket. He continued to create music for films till 1983, his last film as an independent music director being ‘Sati Naag Kanya’.

He passed away on 30th April, 1992, literally with his boots on. He had a heart attack while working at recording studio. Just about a month ago, we passed by the 31st remembrance day for him.

The song presented with this post is a delightful all female duet in the voices of Suman Kalyanpur and Kamal Barot. The film is ‘Ek Saal Pehle’ from 1965. The film is produced under the banner of SB Films, Bombay and is directed by Dharam Kumar. The star cast as listed in the Geet Kosh is Sujit Kumar, Sayeeda Khan, KN Singh, Jagirdar, Sherry, Asit Sen, Sundar, Neelam, Rajan Kapoor, Sunanda, Ramlal, Jilani, Mirajkar, Helen, Madhumati, and Maqbool. Looking at the star cast, it is my guess that this song must have been filmed as a twin dance song on Helen and Madhumati.

There are 5 songs for the film listed in Geet Kosh. The songs of this film are penned by Indiwar and Jaan Nisar Akhtar. This particular song is written by Indiwar. Interesting note – four of the songs are released on gramophone records, and the 5th song is not. As per a footnote in the Geet Kosh, the singer for the 5th song is identified as Krishna Kalle by C Arjun himself.

Wonderful music and wonderful rhythm – let us listen and enjoy this song.

Today’s song is from a dubbed film Jeevan Nauka-1952.

A cursory look at the Film Index book tells us that that the word JEEVAN is a favourite with film makers.As many as 36 Talkie films were made till 2012 with the word Jeevan at the Title’s beginning. Surprisingly I did not find a single Silent movie title with this word. This of course is not an indication in any way, because silent films used to have several titles in different states for the same film. (Just for the records, the word most used in the Hindi film titles happens to be ” Ek”, which is used in 206 film titles from 1931 to 2012 ! ).

Today’s film Jeevan Nauka-1952 is a dubbed Malayalam film. The original film name was Jeevithan Nauka-1951. This film is hailed as the first ever mega Hit Malayalam film. This film was made in Tamil and Telugu at the same time, with the original. The Hindi dubbed version came after one year, in 1952.

The First Talkie film in

The first talkie film in the language Movie Year
Hindi Alam Ara 1931
Tamil Kalidas 1931
Bangla Jamai Sashti 1931
Marathi Ayodhyecha Raja 1932
Telugu Bhakta Prahlada 1932
Gujarati Narsi Mehta 1932
Indian English Karma 1933
Kannada Bhakta Dhruv/Sati Sulochana 1934
Oriya Seeta Vivah 1934
Punjabi Sheila 1935
Assamese Joymoti 1935
Malayalam Balan 1938

You can see that while Hindi, Tamil and Bangla Talkie films came in 1931, Telugu in 1932, Kannada in 1934, the Malayalam film came only in 1938. Compared to Tamil and Telugu, the Kannada and Malayalam film industries were slow in development.

Just to compare, there were 15 Kannada films made in the 1930’s decade, 21 films in the 40’s and 70 films in the 50’s decade. This was the decade when Dr. Rajkumar appeared in Kannada films and its picture changed.

Malayalam films – only 2 silent films in the 30’s. The first silent film Vigath kumaran started shooting in 1928 but was finally released on 23-10-1930. The other silent film was Marthanda Varma-1933. Till 1947, there were only 3 Malayalm Talkie films. In the 50’s decade-6 films, in 60’s-30 films, in 70’s-40 and in the 80’s decade 127 talkie films. This was the decade when malayalam films became ‘Grown up’ and prospered. In the next 10 years Malayalam films won many national awards too !

Initially, like other South Indian films, Malayalam films depended on Hindi songs to copy into their films. The first mega hit film of Malayalam- Jeevithan Nouka-1951 had 14 songs and ALL were copies of popular Hindi songs. For example , it had a song copied from “Suhani raat dhal chuki” from the film Dulari-1949. Another song was copied from “Hawa mein udta jaaye” from the film Barsaat-1949.

However, when the Hindi version was dubbed, 2 MDs from Hindi were appointed. They were Shankar rao Vyas and Pt. Gobind Ram. They ensured that all the 13 songs of this film had new tunes. Both the MDs were on their waning side of careers, but all songs were good. The singers were Manna Dey, Rafi, Asha and Shamshad. Today’s song is the 4th song to appear here.

Since the film was dubbed, all the cast and the director was Malayalam, about whom we know not anything. Only MDs, Lyricists and the singers were from the Hindi industry. Today’s song is composed by Pt. Gobind Ram.

Pandit Gobindram was a trained musician from Lahore, and was equally popular in both Hindi and Punjabi films. Unlike other music directors of the Punjabi school, music composed by him did not typically reflect native Punjabi trends, but instead lay firmly in the category of mainstream 1940s’ music. We could very well say that he played a crucial part in shaping the music of the 1940s. His music is truly melodious and varied, with a unique combination of highly expressive tunes, yet very fun and foot tapping and rhythmically catchy. He is one of the music directors who used a very large number of singers, by my count, only second toGyan Dutt one of his worthy contemporaries. He excelled equally in composing happy, sad, romantic, serious, comical, classical, just any kind of songs. It is a pity that he has never received the attention that he deserved.

Among his landmarks are the introduction of an enormous contribution to making Shamshad Begum and Zohrabai the top singers in Hindi films. He recorded the maximum number of Hindi film songs with Shamshad Begum – 86 songs in 19 films. He was also one of the foremost music directors to encourage and bring forward great veteran Rafi Ji, and also introduced great singer Zeenat Begum to films. He has about 30 films to his credit and each one had equally superb music. Most popular singers of that period have graced his songs. His use of light music, Ghazals, Thumris and various popular music forms in films, provide a ready insight into the uniqueness of 1940s music, and with a slightly unique flavour of both his compositions as well as a tiny tinge of Punjabi style.

Pandit Gobindram started his career with Jeevan Jyoti (1937), which starred Shakuntala Bai, R. L. Monge and Urmila Devi. The film unfortunately went unnoticed. This was followed by another unsuccessful film, Khooni Jadoogar (1939). The 1940s was the true decade for Gobindram Ji. His Punjabi filmography is not properly available, but his first Hindi film in the 1940s was Himmat (1941). Today, it is remembered for being the second ever Hindi film of veteran singer Shamshad Begum , where she beautifully sang the traditional Dadra ‘Inhin Logon Ne Le Leena Dupatta Mora’ with Aziz , in her young, sweet but powerful voice. The famous song with the same lyrics in Pakeezah (1972) is largely a copy of this song. This was the first song composed by Gobindram that helped him gain recognition. Other songs from this film included ‘Is Jag Ke Sundar Natak Ka’,the first solo film song of Zohrabai from 1941 to 1950, and a beautiful duet by Ghulam Haider and Umraozia Begum , ‘Main Hoon Rani Ek Sunehri Nagri Ki’.

But it was his next film, Mangti (1942) in Punjabi, which made him one of the most sought after music directors of the 1940s. This was the debut film for top Lahori singer Zeenat Begum , apart from being the first film for famous heroine Mumtaz Shanti , and took both of them as well as Gobindram to the top notch. This film, which went on to become the first silver jubilee Punjabi film, played an important role in popularising Punjabi folk tunes and the use of a mix of original Hindi film music and Punjabi folk music in films. ‘Aawe Chan We’, ‘Mainoon Suttiyan Neend Na Aayi’, ‘Sapne Wich Mahi Aaya, ‘Tere Daras Di Pyasi’ and ‘Ud Ja Bholeya Panchiya’ (with Nandlal Nurpuri ) were some memorably melodious songs in which Zeenat shone under Gobindram . It is also worth remembering for being the first ever South Asian film to have a female Qawwali, ‘Baanke Nainanwaleya, Nainan Milanda’ by Zeenat and Rehmat Bai , a very enjoyable one. This legacy was continued only 3 years later in Hindi films, with the famous Qawwali of Zeenat (1945), ‘Aahein Na Bhareen’ (Noor Jehan , Zohrabai , Kalyanibai ). Other songs in this film were by the talented Shamshad Begum and Rehmat Bai .

Gobindram Ji worked with more than 30 lyricists during his career. With 56 songs in 8 films, his collaboration was the highest with Ishwar Chandra Kapoor . The films where the two worked together were Bholi, Chor, Doosri Shadi, Ghar Ki Izzat, Maa Ka Pyaar, Naseeb, Ratnavali and Sassi Punnu. Some of the other prominent lyricists he worked with include Bharat Vyas (Chor, Jalpari, Jeevan Nauka, Raj Mukut), Ram Murti Chaturvedi (Chor, Naseeb, Parinde, Ratnavali), Ramesh Gupta (Hamara Sansar, Jeevan Nauka), and Qamar Jalalabadi (Pagli, Sahara, Sarkar).

The story of the film was…..

Soman (Thikkurissi) is brought up by his elder brother Raju (Sebastian Kunjukunju Bhagavthar) and his shrewish wife Janu (Pankajavalli). Soman is in love with Lakshmi (B. S. Saroja), the daughter of a poor village performer Kaniyan (Adhimoolam) who belongs to a lower caste. Raju, employed by the zamindar (Nanukuttan) and Janu resent the inter-caste marriage between Soman and Lakshmi.

Lakshmi gives birth to a son and in the meanwhile Soman goes to the city in search of a job. Lakshmi who is left behind in the village faces harassment at the hands of the villagers. In the city, Soman is hit by a car driven by a rich young woman who takes him home and also employs him as the manager of her estate. Janu starts receiving Soman’s letters and remittances which start arriving. Janu does this by impersonating Lakshmi with the connivance of her brother Shanku (S.P.Pillai).

Meanwhile Lakshmi leaves the village in search of Soman. During her wanderings Lakshmi sees her husband with a woman and suspects him of being disloyal. The young woman is none other than his employer. Lakshmi tries to kill her child and commit suicide but what saves her is the instinct of motherhood. Lakshmi gets together a band of beggars and organises a home for them. She uses her talent as an actress and collects funds for the home by staging plays. Back in the village life turns its tables on Raju and Janu, while her brother Shanku is killed. The real culprits, the zamindar’s advocate and his group of people mislead the police implicating Soman in the murder. During one of her plays, Lakshmi recognises her husband who is about to be arrested on the trumped up charge. Explanations follow and Soman is absolved of the false charge and the couple are reunited. Raju is helped out by Soman. Janu who has now become a beggar is recognised by Lakshmi. Regardless of what has happened in the past, Lakshmi takes Janu home. And all ends well.

Today’s song is a duet sung by Rafi and Shamshad.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————

The song being presented in this post is from an obscure movie “Mohabbat Aur Jung-1967”.

Very less information is available in HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970) about this movie.

There is no information available about the director, cast etc. However the name of the production banner is mentioned as ‘Uppal Productions, Bombay’.

The song list for this movie contains two songs only which are written by Taj Bhopali. Iqbal Qureshi is the music composer for this movie.

Following is the details of the two songs mentioned for this movie in HFGK.

SNo Song Title Singer/s Posted On
01 Mere hamdam Suman Kalyanpur
02 Samaa khoobsoorat hai Krishna Kalle 01.02.2018

HFGK leaves space for the possibility of this movie having more songs.

It can be seen from the above table one song from this movie has been posted on the blog on 01.02.2018.

Today we listen to the second song of this movie which is in the voice of Suman Kalyanpur.

Lyrics are by Taj Bhopali and music is composed by Iqbal Qureshi.

Let us now listen to the song which is a nice song to listen to…

(I guess this is a club-dance song and also a female drunkard song 🙂 )
