Hullo Atuldom
July 29th was the 22nd death anniversary (already that many years!!) of the actor Johnny Walker who was much adored as a comedian. The characters that he typically played were of “Drunkards” & he excelled at them, inspite of not touching a drop of alcohol throughout his life.
He was born Badruddin Jamaluddin Kazi in Indore, in present-day Madhya Pradesh. He was part of a family, that had 12 children, which moved to Bombay (of those times) when his father lost his job. He got a job as a bus-conductor in Bombay Electric Supply & Transport (BEST- Bombay’s bus service). He was spotted by actor Balraj Sahni entertaining his passengers with his comical way of calling out bus stops and his hilarious impressions and antics. Balraj Sahni introduced this fan of Noor Mohammed Charlie to Guru Dutt. Balraj Sahni told Kazi to demonstrate his drunkard act to Guru Dutt. From that meeting, he gained a role in ‘Baazi’ (1951).

Somewhere in the late 2011 AK ji, of Songsofyore.com, had written on this Blog about the importance of NFS. After reading his views, I too wrote a rather lengthy comment supporting the inclusion of NFS on this Blog. Our contention was that, prior to Hindi Film Music becoming popular all over India, it was those ghazals, Geets and Bhajans, privately sung and recorded by various artists which had ruled the tastes of music lovers. In fact many famous singers had recorded NFS in the beginning phase of their singing careers. Some names are Talat Mehmood, Saigal, Pankaj Mullick, Jagmohan and Juthika Roy !

Today’s song is from the film Pagle-1950.
The film was made by Markari Productions, Bombay. It was directed by Pratima Dasgupta. The music director was V.G.Bhatkar aka Snehal Bhatkar. The cast of the film was Begum Para, Madhuri, Jahagirdar, Pratima Devi, Mubarak, David, Agha, Cuckoo and some others. I have neither seen this film nor I could get my hands on its story, but I believe this was a dual story of a failed love and true love pair.

Today’s song is from the film Bade Bhaiya-1951.
From the title it seemed to be a family drama, but in reality this was a love story of 2 brothers, with the background of a Carnival and its various shows. This is what I call a misleading title !
The film was made by Super Pictures, Bombay, owned by the film’s Director Aspy Irani. The Parsi community of Bombay made a lot of contribution to the early cinema. Remember that the very first Talkie film made in India was by Ardeshir Irani, a Parsi who owned a premier studio and a filmmaking organisation -The Imperial Film company, Bombay. Over a period, the Parsis found other interests and their participation in filmmaking reduced. However, some of the great and memorable actors and directors like Sohrab Modi, the Billimorea brothers, Pearl Padamsee, Boman Irani etc kept the Persian Presence in Hindi films going.
