Today’s song is from the film Comrades-1939.
The title of the film was highly misleading. The general meaning of the word Comrades is a Communist Party Member. I was surprised how this title was given to a film, that too when the second world war had just begun. But this title was used to indicate the intimacy and friendship of 2 boys and 1 girl from their childhood. This was a Love triangle naturally, when 2 boys and 1 girl are involved.

Today’s song is from an 88 year old film- Premveer-1937. It was made by Huns Pictures, Kolhapur by the owner, producer and the director of this film – Master Vinayak.
It was just 6 years ago that India had entered the Talkie film era, with Alam Ara-1931. Initially films were based on Mythology, folk stories and historical figures. Soon the talented filmmakers like V.Shantaram, Master Vinayak, Baburao Painter, Sohrab Modi, Himanshu Rai, B.C.Sircar, S.S.Vasan and others realised that the Talkie films have to be handled differently that the Silent films. Being a novelty, the moving pictures or the Silent films were in a sellers’ market – which meant that whatever was produced was sold. But now that the films had started talking, story content, music, acting, direction and the themes needed to be accepted by the audience. This meant that new filmmakers were in Buyers’ market and they needed to make what had a demand from the audience.

‘Aawaaraa Baadal’ (1964) was produced by Kailash Kapur and J P Sehgal under the banner of Amarjyot Films. There is some confusion as to who had directed the film – Kedar Kapoor or B R Ishara. Film’s poster has the name of Kedar Kapoor as director while IMDb and a few other websites mention the name of B R Ishara as the director. Film’s credit title does not mention the name of Kidar Kapoor but it mentions ‘dialogues written and directed by B R Ishara’. There may be some story behind this confusion. The cast included Ajit, Ragini, Indira Billi, Ramayan Tiwari, Jagdish Sethi, Leela Mishra, Niranjan Sharma, Mridula, Iftikhar, Dhumal, Indira Bansal, Tuntun, Sujata, Helen etc.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –14
I have covered Mukesh’s songs composed by Sharda in my previous post.
I have also tried to cover many aspects of her career, but a few more details remain. A lot can be written about her association with Shankar and the various gossips and stories. But then, what is also known is that Sharda never revolted or reacted to these. She continued her life and career with whatever she came across. As such, a thought ran through my mind that it is better to stick to facts and statistics rather than the personal lives of artists.
We all have our likes and dislikes. I am not particularly fond of Sharda’s voice. But, then in many of her songs there is this unconventional, distinctive childish texture in her voice. In many songs that she sang this was a welcome change and did manage to capture the attention of music lovers. In an era where heroines were evolving into more mature roles and free expressions, such a voice suited their antics on the screen.
