A short career of five years from 1948 to 1952. Just 20 films. Less than sixty songs. And then, a departure from Bombay, and back to Delhi. Settled into family life, and made a famous career with Punjabi folk music, that lasted well over six decades. But never headed to Bombay again.

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 8
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

A voice that so effortlessly touched the depths of poignancy as no one else could. It was also the same voice that flitted with rapid rhythms to reach an apex exuberance. And in both flavors, this voice simply gets into the heart and the songs come so easily to the lips.

In continuation to my post for ‘apne haathon ko pehchaan’ :
There is this bhajan/song which is more a philosophical song from 1989 movie ‘ Bade ghar ki Beti ‘.

Actually it is based on a Meera bhajan, but improvised by the lyricist Santosh Anand and composers Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Once heard never forgotten kind of song, with its simple words and simple philosophy of contentment and containment.

LOST AND FOUND-GEMS FROM UNRELEASED FILMS…Song No. 12…LAST SONG OF THIS SERIES
———————————————————————————–

Today’s song is a real Gem in this series. In the period 1931 to 1940, there were only 7 unreleased films, out of which information is available on the records of only 3 films. This is/may be because though having records for the film songs issued commercially had started from 1932, it had not caught momentum till late 30s. Madhuri-1932 was the FIRST film for which commercial records were issued with the Film and Singer’s name mentioned on the Record label. Obviously, this film ‘Stove Tragedy’ whose song we are going to enjoy today, must have been made after 1932.

LOST AND FOUND-GEMS FROM UNRELEASED FILMS…Song No. 11
———————————————————–

it is not that Unreleased films were the speciality of the 40s or 50s. on the contrary, the percentage of such films has increased from the last few years. What I learnt from last few days, while working on this series is, that the number of incomplete or unreleased films was the maximum- to the extent of almost running over 100- during the years 70s and 80s. If you see the statistics, you will find that the number of censored films has also increased systematically from 1970 onwards. In 1990, it touched 200 films and thereafter from 2000, it has always been between 200 to 300, touching 250 in 2005.

Only if religion had not fallen out of favor with the film industry. Kya kahen, sab paise ki maya hai (what to say, it is all a money game). The producers say that the public is not interested. And so they will lose money if they make religious films. And so we have been seeing less and less of religious and spiritual themes on screen. Rather, I do not recall seeing any title that indicates a religious film, in the past decade or so.

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 7
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Listen to this song first, and then search for the familiar. See what you come up with. This song is from a very obscure ‘jaadugar sainyaan’ type film from 1964 titled ‘Magic Carpet’, the name in Hindi is ‘Jaadui Shatranji’. Consider the timing, consider the name of the music director, maybe you will make the connections.
