Today’s song is froma Mythological film – Veer Arjun-1952.

The film was made by Ajit Pictures, Bombay belonging to the producer Ratilal Punatar. He was the Nephew (Bhanja) of Chandulal Shah (owner of Ranjit Movietone). The film was directed by a very learned author- Ramchandra Thakur. There were 2 MDs- Avinash Vyas (6 songs) and S. Mohinder (1 song). The cast included Trilok Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, Mahipal, P. Kailash, Dulari, Mehtab, Usha, Amirbai Karnataki, S,N.Tripathi, Pesi Patel, yashwant Dave and many others. Compared to any Social or Action/Costume film, there are always more artists in a Mythological film, as it has (too) many characters in its story, like e.g. Nakul and Sahdev…sometimes they have no dialogues also or 100 Kauravas. Only Dushasan and Duryodhan are talking and other 98 are only present there.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 102

I have always thought that this song was composed by Sapan Jagmohan, but I am happily surprised that that is not so. It was composed by a gentleman named only as Ghanshyam. I am not sure if this person is the same one who goes by his full name – Shyamji Ghanshyamji. I request knowledgeable readers to clear this mystery for me.

Shyamji Ghanshyamji, although it sounds as a composer jodi, it is one person’s name. As a composer he gave some excellent songs like “Apni Aankhon Mein Basa Kar”, “Meri Hasraton Ki Duniya”, “Kabhie Gham Se Dil Lagaya”, etc

Whereas, the composer of today’s song is known to have composed for only one movie – Kunwara Badan (1973).

Today’s song is a qawwali from a Bilingual film – Kalakar-1954.

This was a film made in 2 languages-Hindi and Marathi. The film was made by Datta Dharmadhikari, for his own banner Alhad Chitra, poona. (Alhad was his son’s name).

When talkie films started, it also prompted the Marathi producers to make films in Hindi and Marathi, in order to capture the bigger All India market and to make more money. The very first Marathi Talkie film ‘ Ayodhyecha Raja ‘-1932 was also made in Hindi as ‘ Ayodhya ka Raja ‘at the same time. So, in this game of Bilinguals Marathi films were ahead of Bengali films, whose first Bilingual came out much later.

song number 101 in this series is “Aayega Aag Se Aag Bujhane” from “Aayega Aanewala” (1967). It is written by Naqsh Lyallpuri, and the music is composed by the duo of Sapan Jagmohan.
