Today’s song is from the historic film Prithvi Vallabh-1943.
This is a real Historic story on which there was also a Silent movie “Prithvi Vallabh aka The Lord of Love and Power”, made by Ashoka Pictures, Baroda (Gujarat) in 1925. Its story was the same as today’s film. The film was important because India’s first woman Director and Producer Fatima Begum had acted in it, along with 2 of her 3 daughters-Zubeida and Sultana. Zubeida went on to become the Heroine of India’s first Talkie film Aalam Ara-1931. After 18 years of the silent movie, Sohrab Modi’s Minerva Movietone made this film again in 1943.

Today’s song is from the film Parichay-1954.
When I sat to write this post, suddenly I realised that in the last 20 posts, I have written 16 posts ( a cool 80 %) on songs from films of the 50’s. Normally I try to have a mix of songs from different decades – my favourites being the 30’s and the 40’s – so that the readers have some variety, while reading the posts. This time somehow, the songs from the 50’s seem to have overtaken all other songs !

There are a good number of feature films made on Mahatma Gandhi and his philosophy. I have watched a couple of Gandhi films – Richard Attenborough’s ‘Gandhi’ (1982) and ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ (2006). There is film titled ‘Road to Sangam’ (2010) which I had not heard of until recently. The title of the film gave me an impression of a film on a road journey to the confluences of the holy rivers in India (for example, Panch Prayags in Uttarakhand). But it turned out to be a Hindi film connected with Mahatma Gandhi.

Today’s duet song is from an obscure film of the mid 50’s – Pensioner-1954.
Having an obscure film in the 50’s is not very common, because in this decade the film industry was taking a new shape and growing very fast. New actors, directors, new themes, new and emerging composers were giving a new hope to the industry. Lilting music and a vast audience encouraged the industry. In such a situation most films had something to offer, hence almost every film was successful. But as is said, success does not come to all just because you are in the group. Films which had nothing to please the audience naturally became flops.

Maqbool Fida Husain (17/09/1915 – 09/06/2011), better known as M F Husain, has been a celebrated painter not only of India but for world over. He has been also called as ‘Picasso of India’. He was the highest paid painter of India. It is said that the great artists have their own muse which motivate them to excel in their chosen form of arts. Madhuri Dixit was Husain’s first among his other Bollywood muses when he got hooked to her film, ‘Ham Aapke Hain Kaun’ (1994). He painted her umpteen times. In ‘Mohabbat’ (1997) in which Madhuri Dixit played the role of an artist, her paintings in the film were actually done by M F Husain.

“meri awaaz hi pehchaan hai
gar yaad rahe”
So much truth in those words which were part of the lyrics that Gulzar wrote for a song in “Kinaara” (1977). There have been many similar sounding singers but this particular voice had a character of its own. I am speaking of our dear Lata Mangeshkar or Lata didi as she was fondly addressed.
