Today’s song is from a Comedy cum Suspense cum Love story cum identical double role film Dhandora-1941.

Dhandora is a typical North Indian Hindi word, with which not many other state people may be aware of. Since there is an almost similar word with the same meaning, in Marathi, I knew about this word and so, maybe many Maharashtra readers too will know it.

Today’s song is from a religious film (labelled as ‘social’ film in HFGK) – Alakh Niranjan-1950.

1950 was the final year of the decade of the 1940s and matters which took place in this period had tremendous impact on the coming decade of 1951 to 1960. The rush of Muslim artists to their Utopia- Pakistan, had slowed down and the new entrants to replace them here were in the process of solidifying their presence. The extraordinary success of the Mythological and Religious films in the 1940s decade, with films like Bharat milap, Ram Rajya and Har Har Mahadev gave impetus to such films in the 50s decade, peaking their numbers to 124 in the period 1951 to 1960.

Today’s song is from a very old film- 92 years old, to be exact – Bala Joban-1934.

An obvious question comes to mind that when today’s readers do not know or even never heard about the old time actors, when the songs are absolutely old style which are not at all likeable and when the singers and the composers test our patience, why should we read about these films ?

These old film articles are not for entertainment purposes, but they are the records for the historical times, reminders of the artists who made the foundation of today’s film industry stronger and which give information on the bygone times, styles of music and singing etc. These matters are valuable and beyond any entertainment or monetary values !

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.

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.

Today’s song is from a social film- actually a Love story- Jawani ki Reet-1939.

The year was 1939 and the British Government had declared war against Germany and Japan, as soon as the WW II began. All countries ruled by Britain were – willingly or unwillingly, drawn into the war efforts and its effects. The war began in the month of September and soon various restrictions came into operation – like rationing, blackouts, shortages etc. The film industry which was still under its development stage suffered. It also realised the importance of remaining united as one industry. However, all that came after 1 or 2 years. In 1939 there was not much effect seen on the film industry.
