LOST AND FOUND-GEMS FROM UNRELEASED FILMS….Song No. 5
———————————————————–
I have been seeing films and listening to film songs from a very young age,for which I used to get reprimands frequently. I had a habit of noting down everything I felt was important in my life.This also included information and comments on films seen in those days.As I grew up and made extra efforts( like bunking school/college etc) to see old movies. I had an attraction-cum-curiosity about the old films,actors,songs etc. Due to this i was called ‘ The grand old man ‘ at a very young age ! This habit of writing about films continued till the 60s when I decided to concentrate on my Career. I had a heap of notebooks,diaries,and make do exercise books made out of blank pages from old exercise books of past academic years.During my transfers in the job,many were lost,some were left behind and the rest were carried to next destination, despite stiff opposition from you know who.

LOST AND FOUND- GEMS FROM UNRELEASED FILMS….song No.4
——————————————————–
As said earlier, Hindi film industry is like an ocean. From 1931 till today, thousands of people must have worked in it. One estimate says, from 1931 to 2000, some 7000 actors alone have worked in Talkie films, not counting other categories of artists. Almost 12000 censored films were made. All this is fine, except that no historical records have been kept about the films or its music. Due to this, many controversies have cropped up about actors/singers/songs mainly. Those people who dig up old documents, secure interviews of old artistes and record these for future references are doing a pioneering work. Those who write books, at times do not care to cross check the information they provide in their books, thereby inviting controversies.

Greetings to Faryal on her birthday today (3rd November).
When she appeared on the film scene in 1965-66, the she was christened as the Sophia Loren of the Indian film industry. Considered to be one of the more daring cabaret dancers on screen, she actually expressed her extreme dislike for it, stating that primarily she is not a dancer, she never trained to be. But that is the industry and the type casting for you.

LOST AND FOUND-GEMS FROM UNRELEASED FILMS…..Song No. 3
—————————————————————
Writing on old film songs and that too on unreleased film songs is a very hard job. Firstly, hardly any information is available on Internet or in books. Secondly, controversies crop up on the statements made in the write up. India being notoriously hopeless as far as recording history of films, music or songs is concerned, it is extremely difficult to arrive at a definite and undisputable conclusion. Most artistes of those times are beyond our reach and if anyone is still alive, he may not remember the facts properly due to old age. In my work in this field, I have found that old age artistes either don’t remember or believe firmly in wrong/desired events and timings making a mess of the whole information.

Chaandni raaten – song no. 14
———————————
In one of the earlier posts in this series, I mixed up two songs ‘aadha hai chandrama raat aadhi’ and ‘chal jaa re hat natkhat’. There was more than one regulars on the blog who volunteered with the correction. It is a good sign, that small talk that I make in my posts are being read at least. 🙂 The comments containing additional information about the movie, lyricist and words of appreciation are motivating, even if not always replied to individually.

The Unforgettable was the first album of ghazals and nazms launched by Jagjit-Chitra. It was released in 1977.
These days television and FM radio stations bombard the viewers/listeners with new film songs. A song becomes popular at once, or not at all. In a month or two, another song takes its place at the top of the Pop charts and it’s gone forever.

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 2
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
For this set of songs, I am confined to the decade of 1960s, and some from 1970. This song is from the 1972 film ‘Anokha Daan’. Simply hard to believe that it is more than four decades that this film was released. The film itself was hard to trace for many years, and was in demand, on account of its music. Now, the film and its songs are easily accessible online.

LOST AND FOUND- GEMS FROM UNRELEASED FILMS….Song No. 2
————————————————————-
When we say ‘Unreleased’ film, it includes films which remained incomplete, films which did not reach the stage of getting censored and films which got censored but were not released in Theatres. To get songs from such films is a difficult task. Luckily, there are some generous minded Record Collectors in India (shri Giridharilal ji Vishwakarma ji) and Pakistan (Janab Shalin Bhatt ji),who upload some gems from unreleased films.

LOST AND FOUND-GEMS FROM UNRELEASED FILMS……Song No. 1
———————————————————-
From 1931 to 2010, a total of 11,150 Talkie films were censored. Once the film gets censored, it is free to be released. However,no one really knows how many films do not reach even the censors. I mean, films get started with very good intentions, but one can not predict whether the film will be completed, censored and released. There are several films which do not reach the theatres.
