Usually, on this blog, we find ourselves digging through the dusty bins of the 1940s and 50s, looking for a rare Geeta Dutt or a forgotten C. Ramchandra gem. But every once in a while, a song comes along in the modern era that feels like it was written with a fountain pen in a rain-soaked balcony, far away from the noisy “reels” and “trends” of today.
In the world of Hindi film music, we often talk about the “Golden Era” as if it were a closed chapter. But every so often, an artist emerges who reminds us that the spirit of that era—the focus on baat (the word) and ehsaas (the feeling)—is very much alive.
Today’s song is a viral miracle. It’s titled “Chor“, released in early 2024 by an independent artist who goes by the name Justh. This song is by the artist whose journey is as unconventional as his name. Justh (who keeps his legal name private, asserting that “Justh” is a word he has given meaning to) was once a Chartered Accountant. In interviews, he mentions that he didn’t “shift” careers as much as he finally found the correct vehicle to express his thoughts about the universe. He draws deep inspiration from the honesty of legends like Rabindranath Tagore, aiming for an art that is “truthful” rather than just “impressive.”

Today’s song is from a social film – Aadhaar-1945.
This is one of those films about which no other information is available, than what has been given in the HFGK. At such times, one realises the importance of HFGK.But for it, many films would have been forgotten without even making the historians aware of their existence in the past. The film was not available for seeing on the social media and nowhere its storyline was found. In such cases, what to write about it ?

Today’s song is from a very old film of the first decade of the Talkie Era – Duniya kya hai aka Resurrection – 1938.
1938 was an interesting year in the early life of the Talkie films. The film making studios had firm footing with a studio system and they tried a variety of subjects in their films. In the 88 Hindi films produced in 1938, one finds almost every Genre of film subjects, except perhaps the usual Folk stories and Historical themes. Comedy, Tragedy, Fiction, Jungle stories, Costume, Socials, Musicals, Mythologicals, you name it and you had it. Content and technical expertise had improved as films on famous novels were made.
